Feel Your Rhythm || Minsung

27. Don't Wanna Lose You

Jisung ended up lying to Chan and sneaking out before he comes with the medicine. He still felt weak but he needed to go out before his aunt finds him and stop him.

He got in to the main road and walked a few minutes before turning at a Y shaped junction. Jisung had a doubt that they were at the isolated part of the city, which is literally a maze of darkness. And today being a gloomy day, didn't help much either.

Jisung had seen them before in these allies. He felt scared. Jisung had no back up plan. The only thing could do was run and hide. For a second, he wished Minho was here with him, holding his hand and telling him not to be scared.

"Han."

Jisung spun, meeting face to face with a buff man. He knows, him. Because he was there when his house exploded. Rage, surged through. This man destroyed his family, right when he was getting used to it.

He gritted his teeth, glaring back at him while the man scowled at him. He was ten same man he saw coming it of his house after beating up his father father that day.

"You know why we asked for you."

We?

Jisung looked around and saw another two men, behind the shadows. He was out numbered, no way he could escape three men who apparently knows Taekwondo.

Man, Felix could be really handy at these times.

Jisung glanced at the man. "I know... and I will tell you again, my father left nothing for me."

He narrowed his eyes. "I'm sick of hearing your bullshit Han. Give me the damn money!"

Jisung flinched. "I told you I don't have them. He was bank rupt when you killed him asshole!"

The man lunged at him, gripping his throat and pinning him to the brick wall. Jisung gasped, grasping the man's veiny hands in a tight grip as he added pressure.

"With one press, I could kill you right here." He threatened.

Jisung whimpered. "L-let go-"

"Give me them and I'll consider letting you go."

A tear slid along his cheek. He is scared to death right now. This man is about to kill him and Jisung didn't want to die. He was struggling to get away from the tight grip but he knows if he'll struggle the man will block his air way.

His grip tighten as Jisung gasped, his eyes getting blurry as feet kicking on the gravel floor.

"Please." He gasped to breath but every breath caught in his throat as it wouldn't go in. His lungs ached for air. "M-minho-"

He felt his vision getting dark. Jisung closed his eyes, giving one last effortless kick on the man's leg and going still. Then, he was let go. He heard the sound of beatings and punching. Jisung tried hard to stay awake but he kept slipping in and out.

Footsteps, he heard them approaching  and someone lifting him up.

The last thing he heard was Minho's muffle voice whispering his name.

Jisoo was having a full panic attack. Chan tried his best to calm her down while she ramble and walk soon the dorm room. While Chan was out Jisoo had came to the room and was searching for Jisung. When she saw Chan and found the boy had fever she went pale as a vampire.

Chan sighed, rubbing his eyes, not knowing what to do as he watched Jisoo rant.

Neither of them know where Jisung went and when Chan heard the story he got gossebumbs, knowing Jisung's life is in danger.

The door opened revealing two chatty boys giggling and booping each others noses. Only to freeze when they saw Chan and Jisoo.

"Christopher. " Felix growled, frowning. "What the hell are you doing here? and where is Sungie?"

Chan gulped, knowing the boy hates his guts but he can't just leave right now.

Hyunjin saw Jisoo looking scared and approached her. "Aunty? Is everything alright?" Felix now diverted his attention to Jisoo. "And um... where's Jisung?"

Hearing her nephew's name, Jisoo started crying. Hyunjin's eyes widened quickly rushing to sooth her while Felix just stayed there with a opened mouth. He turned to Chan who gave him a worried look.

"What's going on?" He asked.

Chan sighed. "Mr. Han's debtors are in the area...and Jisung went after them."

Felix paled. "H-he went alone?" Chan nodded. "Oh fuck no..."

Hyunjin rubbed Jisoo's back as she cried. Chan watched Felix go through different emotions. Shock, fear, regret... He ran his small fingers through his hair groaning in frustration.

"Do you know his location?" Hyunjin spoke.

"No, he had fever. I went to grab some panadol... when I came in, he wasn't here."

Felix went feral after hearing this. "You should have stayed by his side and keep an eye-"

"Felix." Hyunjin gave him an warning eye making Felix quiet. But that didn't stop the younger by giving daggers to his step brother. Hyunjin glanced at Chan who was deep in thought. "Um...why didn't Minho hyung come for Inspections?"

Chan was suddenly snapped out of his trance. "Oh...he...went to his parents' place last night."

Hyunjin nodded now turning to Felix. "We should call the police."

Felix nodded, quickly grabbing his phone and dialing the closest police station. Meanwhile, Chan got a phone call from Minho asking if he had done the inspections. But he wasn't expecting the heart wrenching story Chan told.

Chan could practically hear Minho's shock and frustration throught then other side of the line. He sounded so panicked. As if he wanted to go out there right now and beat the shit out of those men.

Chan knows how much Minho adores the squirrel like boy. When he submitted the song, Minho wasn't himself at all. Chan remembered Minho kept staring at the wall and then glancing at the song as if it would just disappear so Jisung could write one again.

'Villian' was the its name. Chan had gone through it multiple times to understand it was about a person who would prefer to destroy the world for his love, about someone who cherished every moment of them even ut was criminal.

Here, Jisung took himself as the criminal.

"Minho, I know he's important to you but please don't get yourself in trouble." He whispered.

"I'm going to find him."

Chan stilled hearing the anger in Minho's voice. He has never heard him talk like this and it took him off by surprise.

"Minho-"

Minho hung up. He can't let Minho get hurt because of how reckless he is. Now way, he's letting his best friend do this alone. Chan groaned and stood.

"Where are you going?" Hyunjin asked.

"To save a stubborn ass."
