Delinquents : The Thirteen Contenders

Chapter Twenty Seven : Curiosity Kills

"What if I die-"

"You aren't going to die kid, besides, we're just testing you."

Jihoon enters the room, surprising the kid who was talking to himself. He stood up clearing his throat as he nodded slowly.

"How did you-"

"How did I hear? Simple, I have ears."

Jihoon responded in his question making him sigh in defeat. He knew he wouldn't be able to get the answer since he knew Jihoon's way of speaking.

"Follow me kid."

Chan stood up from his bed as he began to follow where Jihoon was heading. The two then entered the car while Jihoon started the engine before going to their destinations.

Silence began to surround the car making Jihoon sigh. He knew Chan wasn't ready to face Wonwoo but he has too.

"You okay?"

Jihoon asks as he receive a slight nod from Chan. "Yeah, just worried." Chan mutters.

"Wonwoo isn't angry Chan, he understands, just talk to him and make things clear, will you?"

Jihoon spoke focusing on the road. Chan took a while before responding a simple 'yes' making Jihoon smile.

About 20 minutes later, they arrived at a place in the middle of the woods. Their they saw a small house that seems to be build with the use of wood.

"Um, is this the place?"

Chan judges the area as it seems too simple? He then heard Jihoon's laughs making his thoughts stop.

"Chill kid, you'll see."

Jihoon grabs the key as he opens the wooden house. Their they saw a small area that seems to be filled with simple stuffs that about one to two persons could live in.

Before Chan could asks any questions, Jihoon then moved the bottom wood, their he saw a black button, as he presses it, a sudden door way from below had opened making his eyes widen.

"Get in kid."

Jihoon instructed him as the two began to go down at the ladder from the door he had opened. When the two reach the very bottom, Their they saw a door that goes to their destination.

Jihoon smiles at Chan before grabbing the key and opening the door in front. Chan's eyes began to grow wide as he saw large monitors, computers, gadgets, and about 15 workers that are currently on the computer.

"I see you both are here."

A deep voice welcomed them making Chan flinch in surprised. He turned behind and their they saw Wonwoo wearing a simple black pants and a white tshirt to be match with a sling bag that seem to contains documents. Wonwoo then was about to approach him when Chan avoided eye contact as Wonwoo sighs respecting Chan's side.

"I see you both went to the hard way huh?"

"Please, we'll use the building next time."

Chan stares at the two confuse as he guesses that there were more ways upon how to get inside of their hideout. It was smart yet risky at the same time.

Jihoon then stepped on Chan's shoes, signaling him to follow him. The three then proceed to this large black door.

As Wonwoo opens the door, Chan's eyes widen as he saw a large screen in front, cameras and his members inside.

"Welcome to our place Chan"

Jihoon smirks sitting on his Chair in the middle. Wonwoo rolls his eyes as he proceeds to his table with a private desktop located on it.

The design of the place was all black and red. It seems to be expensive and amazing.

"Wonwoo and Jihoon, kindly proceed to the front door."

The speaker suddenlg spoke making The two sigh. Wonwoo then walks out leaving the two behind.

"Feel free to explore kid." Jihoon pats Chan before proceeding outside to see why his name was called.

Chan stares at the place, observing the papers and documents that seem stock. As he began to walk around, his tracks had stopped in Wonwoo's table in the back.

He looks at the paper and there he saw a paper with his name written on. He stares at Wonwoo's desktop and there he saw informations of different people on his files.

He knew to himself he wasn't supposed to be looking at this but he wonders what were the things Wonwoo found. He wanted to keep everything behind yet why are they still trying so hard?

Chan sat down as he began to look at Wonwoo's files, his breath had hitch when he saw informations from before. While reading his information, he wanted to laugh as it seems like they only got the birth certificate type of information.

He sighs in relief knowing he wouldn't have to worry, not until he came across another file named l.c

He presses it as he saw videos and pictures of him at his hometown. His eyes widen as he knew they were close.

It's not like he wanted to keep everything a secret but he wants to tell his side once his ready. Their informations might be different from his point of view.

"Didn't your mom taught you not to go unto other people's things?"

A familiar voice was heard as he froze on spot. He then felt a knife on his neck as he dropped the papers he was holding.

"oh wait, who will teach you when you didn't have one in the first place?"

That's when he began to lost it. He grabs the knife from his neck as he threw it at the side, he then held him by the neck as he can hear him laughing through this.

"How weak."

The man said kicking Chan on the leg and Strangling him little by little.

"Who are you, Lee Chan?"

It was a question he wanted to ask himself. He guesses he was no one. A person who was broken by everyone.

He asks punching Chan on his Cheeks, As he felt the man abusing him bit by bit, he felt his vision getting blurry.

"Jeonghan Enough!"

That was the last word he heard before letting darkness take over him.
