A/N - Since we have come to the point, let's check out the full version again for the best experience of the chapter 😏

Red. Dark red. More like black red was all Bright could see the moment he opened his eyes.

His hands were tied at the back and it was painful and hurting which he was sure that was going to bruise soon but what caught his attention was the other pair of hands that were tied along with him.

He could feel someone's back of the head leaning on his and he rubbed the silky hair together which earned a little motion from the other person as well.

They were kidnapped. Bright knew that and it is why Bright took a deep breath to collect himself together.

But the moment he breathed in raggily through the bag covering his entire face, his nostrils filled with the familiar scent making him grin upon his suspicions of the other person becoming right.

That soft skin which brushed against his own hands, that lavender smell which was the natural body scent of his own beloved person, he could recognize it anywhere. His Win.

Bright could feel Win's little finger wrapping around his within the ties of ropes and that made him smile because he knew Win had recognized him too.

Bright squeezed Win's hand softly under the ropes as they worked on untying themselves secretly and being officers who were the best in their own department, untying the ropes were nothing but eating a piece of cake for them.

Bright sniggered at the lives of whoever thought tying then together and bringing them to one place was a good idea.

They could hear footsteps approaching as they got rid of the final knot of the rope but both of them held the rope firmly so that it did not fall to the ground until the right time comes.

A light dechipered through the bag which covered their face making them squint their eyes under it and both of them guessed that it was a torch that was directed upon them. Once the light was gone, the bag was removed and Bright had a poker face while he could hear Win clicking his tongue behind him which made Bright smile to himself internally.

The men were wearing masks, masquerade masks to be exact and both of them wondered what hell in a drama dance in this but decided it is about time to play the game in their pace which is why Bright tapped on Win's hand twice before they let the rope go at once.

Bright had his distinct smirky smile plastered across his face, the moment rope fell on to the floor and he could hear Win snarling softly behind him before both of them kicked the first two men down.

One of them men had somehow fallen upon an alarm which alerted more men to come in and both of them could feel the excitement running through their spines given the fact that it had been a while since they knocked some shit out of criminals.

The number of men coming in was uncountable and was not the concern of Bright and Win but rather keeping at least one of them alive was.

They needed at least one life to fish the information out about this sudden attack and but knowing about themselves, it was rare for any man to survive so it was a challenge to make sure at least one of them live.

"Who keeps the man alive?"

He could hear Win groaning in a shout as he punched a man right through the nose and Bright laughed with thrill running all over his body at the sight of blood spluttering from the man in front of him as a result of the slash he had given across the man's throat. It was always oddly satisfying to see the criminals bleed and Bright was more than happy that Win shared the same interest.
