The Daughter of The Mafia | TaeGyu AU ✔

chapter 28

Taehyun slowly opened his eyes, blinking rapidly. He looked around the dark room in confusion. His head ached with something fierce but he couldn't remember why exactly it felt like that. He took a few seconds before realizing that he was in the unfamiliar room with no idea what had happened to him or who exactly had brought him there.

He tried to move, but he couldn't. He looked down at himself to find out that he was sitting on the chair and was tied to it with ropes wrapped around his abdomen and his wrists behind his back. He wiggled around for a few minutes to try to get some feeling back into his limbs. Then his eyes roamed all over the place, widening as soon as they caught sight of Beomgyu sitting in the same position on another chair across him. The boy was unconscious.

"Beomgyu!", he whisper yelled, not wanting their captors to know he was awake, "Beomgyu!", he tried again, louder this time but still got no response. "Damn it, Beomgyu! Wake up!"

The older boy started blinking after that and his eyes fluttered open slowly, taking a minute to realize where he actually was. Once he did, his face morphed into one of panic. Taehyun watched his friend struggle against his restraints once he realized they were tight enough to keep him from moving around too much.

"I'm so sorry, Beomgyu", Taehyun said quickly, trying to stop the other boy from panicking. "Just keep calm, okay?"

Beomgyu looked at him with anxious eyes full of worry when they caught sight of the younger boy, "Wha-"

Suddenly, they heard someone walking toward them and Taehyun's breath quickened, knowing that whoever it was would either hurt Beomgyu or him in some way if they found out that they were awake.

When the figure entered the room and the lights got turned on which made both boys freeze. It was a male, tall and lean, with shoulder-length black hair and a snake tattoo on the back of his hand. Beomgyu instantly recognized him. He remembered when he saw that man at Taehyun's cafe several weeks ago. It must be him.

"Hello, you two are finally awake", the man said cheerily as he stepped closer to them. His face held a smirk and his eyes glinted mischievously at Beomgyu while he took in his appearance. "Well, aren't you a handsome sight?"

Taehyun felt his blood boil inside and tried to pull at his restraints again only to find that they weren't budging an inch.

"You really shouldn't do that", he heard the stranger say, his voice sounding bored and annoyed as he stood next to Beomgyu, slipping his hand into his red locks which made Beomgyu instantly tense under his disgusting touch, "Or you might just wake up missing a bit of his beauty", he said as he clasped Beomgyu's hair in his hand and squeezed, pulling his head back harshly which made Beomgyu let out a whimper of pain.

"Let go of him!", Taehyun growled as he tried his best to pull at the rope but his strength wasn't even close to what it usually was. "Leave him alone"

The tall man just shrugged nonchalantly as his grip on Beomgyu's scalp tightened, making the tears of pain brim in the corners of Beomgyu's eyes, however, the boy kept a straight face in an attempt to seem strong for Taehyun's sake.

A small smile came across the taller man's lips and his free hand moved to Beomgyu's chin forcing him to look him in the eye, "What is the matter? Too scared to say anything? Are you going to cry?"

With those words, Beomgyu felt a surge of rage run through his veins and it seemed like he could feel his heart pounding wildly inside his chest. He glared daggers at the man and lifted his foot to kick him in the balls but the man managed to jump away in time to avoid his attack.

"Oh ho ho", Ennio laughed loudly, "I knew you'd fight me fair and square! But I guess now's not the right time to start this game"

At this point, a deep scowl appeared on Taehyun's face and he wanted nothing more than to rip Ennio limb from limb for touching Beomgyu in any way, shape or form, though it was difficult considering he was restrained, his arms were still too weak for his will to overcome it. The only thing that stopped him from doing so was the fact that he didn't want to risk hurting Beomgyu further.
