The people outside the hospital had no idea about the surveillance cameras or what was going on inside the hospital. They were far too busy with their own little drama for that.

Soobin, still holding Kim Taehyung's collar in his hands, pressed the flyweight against the back wall of the bus stop while Baekhyun rested his hand on the black-haired man's shoulder and soothed him.

Finally, Soobin let go of him with a dismissive snort.

"As you wish..." he gave in to Baekhyun's request, while Taehyung was literally thrown to his feet again, trying to find his footing. He propped himself against the glass wall with one hand and gave the leader of the alligators a fearful look. He was so afraid of the black-haired man, yet the boy had to think of Yeonjun and how he had sacrificed himself for him.

So that he could escape.

Like the coward he was.

And instead of helping the blond and telling the alligators everything right away, he had run and even hid from them.

Soobin had just turned to Baekhyun and the others in his group when Taehyung suddenly whispered, "He's been kidnapped ..."

He dropped this bombshell just like that around the alligators. Baekhyun raised his eyebrows in surprise, for he had not expected such information, nor had Soobin, who turned back to Taehyung in a flash. "What did you just say!" He wanted even less to believe what he had just heard, like the put-upon lie from earlier.

As if Yeonjun would abandon someone, but they had kidnapped him?

He just didn't want to believe that.

Damn!

After all, it was the Purge night, what else could have been done with him ...

Soobin shook his head, not even wanting to think about it further, but automatically set his mind on his next goal.

To find and rescue Yeonjun.

The moment the leader was about to bring up his goal, he was tapped on the shoulder by Mino and alerted to a couple of approaching vehicles. "Guys? I think we've got a problem!" Masked people were sticking out of the open windows of the cars, waving their weapons around, emitting loud cheers. Immediately, the leader turned on his heel and ran back to his car. Mino, Baekhyun, and the rest of the Alligators followed him at the same moment, ripping open the doors and grabbing their weapons to confront the strange group of Purgers.

As expected, the cowardly Taehyung had pulled himself back among the large trash cans and was hiding from the menacing danger instead of reaching out to his group.
