jungwoo wandered around the abandoned place, looking for renjun who claimed to see donghyuck here, but apparently, renjun went missing before he could even approach the tan-skinned boy. mark, on the other hand, was facepalming in the corner, sighing at this whole ordeal.
the sudden voice of jeno calling them both caught their attention. "hyungs! we're here..."jeno trailed off as he and his boyfriend, jaemin, stopped to take a breath. jungwoo looked nonchalantly at the two, sighing in defeat. "took you two long enough."
"sorry, hyung, we were checking for injunnie everywhere else," jaemin sighed. "i had specifically told him to not wander around here because we once lost him here when he was alone."
the sudden sound of things falling into an abyss caught all of their attention, along with a voice calling the douchebag's name in a seemingly desperate voice. mark immediately recognized the voice and started to walk towards the abandoned trap door.
jungwoo grabbed him by the shoulder, stopping mark in his tracks. "no, don't go there yet. sejun might have a weapon with him right now, and we shouldn't risk ourselves in trouble."
"b-but...i don't want to lose him..." mark's voice was shaky, devoid of the confidence he used to have.
jungwoo fell silent as he started to brainstorm a plan, and that too fast. he noticed the circuits embedded on the wall of the entrance, and knew exactly what to do.
"hyung...?" mark's voice jolted him off his trance. jungwoo sighed as his normal uwu-bursting persona disappeared, leaving a very serious him- something that he has rarely seen. "everyone, listen up. i have a plan."
everyone looked longingly at jungwoo, their ears perked up as they were ready to do anything to get renjun and donghyuck back. jungwoo sighed as he scanned the uncanny barren place, his attention still pinned on the circuit board. he turned back to them and started to explain. "look, here's the plan. i'll go first and break the circuits. keep your phones in handy. mark, go in the trap door first and the moment you get a sight of sejun, put him in a chokehold like how renjun used to do-"
"what?! hyung are you insane-" mark's whiny voice was cut off by jungwoo with an even more grave voice. "silence, minhyung. this isn't the time for personal revenge. don't you want to get your beloved donghyuck back?"
mark had no choice but to stay in a fuming silence, heeding to jungwoo's voice whilst trying his best to not let his personal anger fog his listening. "jeno, jaemin. once you hear sejun's voice being muffled, immobilize him immediately. mark and i will take renjun and donghyuck to safety. got it?"
"got it," everyone said in unison as jungwoo immediately scampered to the trap door's exposed circuit board, breaking the wires his engineering expert braincells knew. he immediately beckoned mark, and much to his plan, mark opened the trap door as silently as he could, but he heard other noises, which were definitely not from jungwoo's plan.
---
renjun opened his eyes to a sudden darkness, with an uncanny silence minus the muffled sniffles coming from a very distressed donghyuck. as his vision cleared up, he noticed sejun the douchebag, about to bludgeon donghyuck with a steel pipe.
fuming that sejun will hurt his friend, he pulled himself up and used his body to aim for sejun's legs, knocking him down. sejun immediately stood up with a groan, glaring at the blonde. "bitch, you want to play games with me, huh?" he said as he dug his pocket to find his revolver.
"not so fucking fast!"
before either renjun or donghyuck have anytime to react, mark charged to the man, pinning him down and started to land his fists on him. jeno and jaemin immediately followed him after, immobilizing him and beating the hell out of him as they were much, much stronger than mark.
"hyuck...!" mark ran towards his boyfriend, tears brimming his eyes as he fell down to donghyuck, feverishly untied him from his restraints. donghyuck weeped as he wrapped his hands around his nape, crying in mark's embrace. "there, there, baby, i promise i won't ever let you go..." mark caressed his boyfriend lovingly, calming him down.
jungwoo ran down the stairs, and noticing that sejun was already unconscious, asked jaemin and jeno to let go, the two reluctantly letting go because they wanted to almost kill sejun. jungwoo came towards mark and helped donghyuck up, noticing renjun in the corner glancing at the two with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
jungwoo beckoned mark towards the blonde, looking at him with serious eyes. "renjun was right, isn't it...? now, at least, apologize. go and help him up."
mark was reluctant, but before he could say anything, jungwoo cut him off. "don't tell me anything, minhyung. go and help renjun right now."
mark walked towards renjun as jungwoo helped donghyuck along with jeno upstairs, crouching down and untying his restraints, swinging one of his hands around his shoulder. renjun said nothing but rather showed a small, wobbling smile at the older, forcing himself to believe that mark still likes him as a friend...
...until they heard groans. very familiar groans.
renjun stood still as sejun stood up, and before mark could react, sejun immediately pulled out his revolver and pulled the trigger.
a gunshot was only heard as mark felt like renjun's weight was gone from his shoulder. instead, he heard a thud on the floor, only to see renjun on the floor, bleeding.
"injunnie! you fucker, i'll not let you get away with this shit!" jaemin screamed in agony as he charged to sejun, the douchebag still shooting with his gun, but his wrist was wringed badly as jaemin practically bludgeoned the living daylights out of him.
panicking, mark immediately slipped his hands underneath renjun's body as he ran upstairs, screaming, "jungwoo-hyung! call an ambulance!"
a/n: ...i can't believe i'm updating this after almost a year later.
yes, i'm done with this fic, it's almost over, i'm updating this because this is a comfort book for many, and honestly, i had a tiny bit of guilt leaving this alone because i though i wasn't a good enough writer to write an action scene.
but here i am. her is already 78 chapters in, and i'm still not done with this tiny 22 chapter long fic.
it's all because of kietoyourheart_ and -sunhyuck that i got the inspiration to finish this, tysm, nikkie and bubs <33
