CHAPTER X: Game

❛ ━━･❪ ❁ ❫ ･━━ ❜

The silence of the dark night was too silent. Not one cricket made a noise and Areum questioned it, in her bedroom. Suddenly a knock was heard on her door and she quickly opened it.

"Why?" Areum asked an uneasy Haechan that is standing infront of her door

"I'm going to the warehouse. Ms. Lee left so make sure to lock the doors" He said and was about to leave but Areum's reply stopped him from doing so "I'm coming with you.. i'm bored"

"Don't, it's dangerous" Haechan said and Areum's brow furrowed "You talk like i'm not the heir to my father's gang"

"Oh yeah?" Haechan make steps towards her. With each step Haechan took, his confident swagger seemed to draw the spotlight.

Areum's posture remained composed, her gaze steady. She could feel the weight of his approach, the aura of dominance he suddenly had.

The distance between them lessened, the charged atmosphere between Haechan and Areum intensifying with every step. His smirk deepened and he had her cornered.

As Haechan finally stood before her, a mere breath away, he leaned in, his voice a low, husky whisper that sent a shiver down her spine.

"Then show me what you've got, Areum. I'll wait for you in the car" Haechan winked and continued to walk down the corridor

The feeling of flustered she felt was burried deep down but it was very clear as soon as Haechan was out of sight.

Areum scoffed "So this is the game you want to play? Fine"

-

In the dead of night, a thick blanket of darkness cloaked Lee Syndicate's warehouse. The distant hum of the city's heartbeat provided a backdrop for the impending turmoil.

Inside the warehouse, tense whispers echoed off cold, metallic walls as Haechan, Areum and his trusted men discussed the upcoming deal that could tip the balance of power in their favor.

Unbeknownst to them, Jake's gang had been silently amassing forces, waiting for the opportune moment to strike.

Abruptly, the silence was shattered by the shattering of glass as molotov cocktails burst through windows, igniting a blaze that erupted with ferocious intensity.

Chaos erupted as masked assailants stormed in, their gunfire punctuating the air with deafening cracks. Bullets ricocheted off steel beams, and dim emergency lights cast an eerie crimson glow over the violent scene.

Haechan's eyes widened as he ducked behind a stack of crates, protecting Areum's head while issuing urgent commands to his men.

The warehouse had transformed into a battleground, with the clash of metal and the sickening thud of fists resounding in the smoke-filled air.

Haechan made eye contact with Areum and signalled her to go to the right side to protect the east wing. Areum understood immediately and ran while loading her gun.

Areum took cover behind a steel pillar. Her fingers tightened around the grip of her gun as she exchanged fire with an adversary, the acrid scent of gunpowder mingling with the metallic tang of fear.

Amidst the chaos, Jake's piercing gaze fell upon Areum, her determination etched across her face like a battle-worn mask.

Before anyone could react, Jake's iron grip closed around Areum's arm, his fingers like vices as he pulled her towards him. Her defiant struggles were met with a cold chuckle that cut through the tense air like a blade.

The warehouse seemed to hold its breath, the weight of the impending confrontation settling heavily upon the scene.

"Haechan," Jake's voice sliced through the tension "Looks like I've got something that belongs to you. Congratulations on the wedding, by the way" He laughed

Haechan's heart dropped as his eyes locked onto the scene before him

"Release her, Jake," Haechan's voice was a low growl, his gaze unwavering as he met Jake's cold stare. The tension in the room escalated.

Areum's courage remained unshaken, a testament to her indomitable spirit "What do you want" Areum started and Jake gave her a dark chuckle

"I want everything from Haechan. But having you is enough" Jake said and that made Haechan even more mad than he already is

Jake slowly walked towards the exit while having Areum on gunpoint. Haechan couldn't do anything. Jake's men was everywhere.

Areum eyes met Haechan's and she gave him a reassuring nod. Signalling that she'll be okay.

Once they escaped, Haechan punched the way out of frustration "Fuck!" He shouted and just then Chenle ran to the room and got a hold of what happened

"Chenle, I want you and Jisung to contact Song Syndicate's best hacker and hack Jake's systems. Find out where their warehouse is. We'll ambush them tomorrow evening to save Areum"

Chenle gave him a nod and quickly do what he was told. Haechan ran his fingers through his hair, frustrated with the whole situation.

"You'll pay for this, Jake"
