Looking around the empty street, she squints her eyes before glancing back at the map on her phone. "Was it the other street?" She mumbles, tilting her head to a side while turning around slowly to be met with a figure standing right in front of her. "Oh I'm sorry" she says, stepping to a side when the figure in front of her did the same while moving in the same direction she did.
Glancing up at the figure that was dressed in full black, she gulps before taking a step back. Turning in the opposite direction, she tightens her grip on her phone while taking fast steps. Unlocking her phone she tries to click on Lucas's contact when a hand wraps around her mouth and waist, making her back slam on the others body while her phone hit the ground with a thud.
"Hey there..." She widens her eyes, trying to free herself from the mans tight grip, while letting out muffled screams. "Just be a good girl and tell me where he is" the male says, sliding his hand down to her neck. "W-who?" She breathes heavily, wrapping her fingertips around his hand while he tightened his grip around her neck with each passing second.
"NCT's leader" the man laughs, watching the girl struggle under his grip. "I don't know what that is" she mumbles. "Oh" he says, moving his hand away from her neck, making her cough hard while trying to steady her breathing. "You still don't?" He asks, pulling a knife out of his pocket and placing it against her neck.
"W-what are you doing?" She screams, widening her eyes as she continued to squirm in his grip. "What I was told to do" the man replies, pressing the cold tip of the metal against her neck, making her gasp as she leaned back. "I don't know anything... Let me go" she mumbles, with tears threatening to spill as fear took over her.
"Let her go..." Looking ahead of her, Jiyeon nibbles onto her bottom lip while looking straight at the boy whose voice sounded oddly familiar. "Lee Taeyong" the man that held onto Jiyeon laughed, making the said boy roll his eyes. "Using people to get to me again huh? Don't you think you guys are being a little too clingy?" The boy tilts his head to a side, showing no emotion at all.
"I'm guessing that's the person you wanted so now you can let me go" Jiyeon chuckles nervously, only making the mans grip on her tighten. "Let her go now" the boy takes a step forward, burying his hand in his pocket before pulling out a gun, making Jiyeon widen her eyes as the boy pointed it in their direction.
"W-why do you have a gun?! That's a toy one right?!" She exclaims. "Shall we see?" He asks, Moving his hair to the back, Jiyeon gasps, seeing the same eyebrow slit and eyes as the boy walked closer. "Mona Lisa...?"she mumbles. "don't come closer or..." "Or what?" He chuckles lowly. Hissing in pain, Jiyeon squeezes onto the man's hand as he pushed the knife deeper into her skin, making her breathe heavily as a trail of blood dripped down onto her sweater.
"Or that" the man chuckles. "Go ahead, do it" Taeyong says, a smirk painted on his lips. "ARE YOU CRA-" screaming, Jiyeon screws her eyes shut at the pain, feeling the man drag the knife across her neck when a loud gunshot echoed through her ears and the man fell limp beside her. "Shit" she mumbles, glancing at her hands that were covered with blood, making her tremble as her vision became cloudy.
Running upto the girl, he lifts her up into his arms before her body could hit the ground. "Track my location and send a few guys quick" he speaks into his earpiece while holding onto the girl tight. Squatting down, he carefully lays the girl on the ground while holding onto her upper body.
Checking the unconscious males pulse, he pokes his tongue inside his cheek. "Oh well he's dead" he mumbles with a shrug. Pulling up the sleeve of his jacket, Taeyong scoffs. "Of course it's y'all" he laughs, shaking his head after glancing away from the tattoo on his hand. "Check if there are any cameras nearby and clear the footage of all of them, look to the body as well" he speaks into his earpiece again.
With a van pulling up right beside him, he lifts the girl back up before walking towards the van. "Check on her" he glances at Kun that nodded almost immediately, before carrying the girl to the back of the van. "Taeyong what happened?!" Lucas exclaims, holding onto both of the girls hands while looking at her in worry. Lucas gulps, watching how the boy raised an eyebrow at him. "B-boss..." He mumbles, nervously rubbing the back of his neck.
"Someone probably figured out her relations with y'all or him" Taeyong shrugs. "Or... Saw me say a word to her at the store yesterday" he adds, watching as Lucas groaned in frustration. "What do we do?" He looks at Taeyong that mindlessly scrolled through his phone. "Let her be?" Taeyong asks, glancing up at Lucas that glared at him. "Alright! Have someone look after her" he rolls his eyes.
"Will she be alright?" Lucas asks, looking up at Kun that nodded. "She'll be just fine" Kun smiles at the boy that sighed and leaned back, not letting go of Jiyeon's hands. "She's the one you said was yours and Mark's best friend right?" Kun asks, earning a nod from Lucas. "That's her" Lucas replies, smiling.
Opening the door slowly, Mark peeks into the room that Jiyeon was still laying unconscious in. Slapping a hand over his mouth, he gasps, gaining Kun's attention. "What's wrong?" Kun asks, glancing away from Jiyeon and at the boy. "What happened to her?" He asks, taking slow steps towards the two. "Taeyong didn't tell us much, you might have to ask him" Kun replies.
"Are you done checking up on her?" Mark asks, earning a nod from Kun. "Go have your food then, I'll stay here with her" he says. "You look like you're going to cry" Kun chuckles, patting Mark's shoulder. "I'm not" he mumbles, pushing the older boy towards the door. "Call me when she wakes up" Kun screams. "Yeah okay" Mark replies, closing the door behind him and walking towards the bed.
"I'm sorry you had to go through that" he sighs, pulling a chair beside the bed and sitting down as he kept his gaze on the girl. "Mark..." Looking away from Jiyeon, the said boy glances up at Lucas that walked towards him. "Did you eat anything yet?" He asks. "I will once she wakes up. What are we gonna do now though?" He sighs, resting his head on his palms.
"I asked Taeyong and he said he'll have the guys take turns and see to her" Lucas says. "Really? He said that?" Mark asks, to which Lucas nods in response. "The way I had to beg for it" he sighs, making Mark chuckle as the boy shook his head.
