Chapter 44: Forgive but don't forget

Doyoung breaks every traffic law imaginable. It's a surprise he hasn't been pulled over yet. He makes it to the rural area nearby Sicheng's house. It's still a 30 minute drive to get there. He hits the gas, the car at this point is at its limit. He sees a car driving the opposite direction and immediately recognizes it as Ten's.

Without second thought, he turns the car around and follows Ten. He notices the car speeding up which means Ten has already noticed him.

Doyoung manages to catch up and rams his car into Ten's. He rolls down the window. "Pull over! Pull over!" Doyoung screams. Ten glances at him with a smirk before hitting the gas.

Doyoung opens the glove box and pulls out a gun. He rolls down the other window. He can't get a clear shot. It's raining heavily and he can't see properly even with his head lights on.

He gives up and hits the gas once again. Ten seems to be getting a rush out of this, almost as if he's enjoying the chaos and panic he's ensuing.

They reach a tunnel and Doyoung finds this as a perfect opportunity. He catches up and rams the car into Ten's once again. Ten rams his car back but Doyoung uses all his might to crash Ten's car into the wall.

Ten still escape though, speeding off. Doyoung follows him. His car could break down but right now he doesn't care. He just hopes it can hold out till he ensures Sicheng's safety.

Once he's close enough he hits the pedals and gets in front before blocking Ten off.

Ten hits the brakes as before swerving into the rails. Doyoung gets out of his car. He hurries over and punches through Ten's window.

"Where is he?" Doyoung asks, holding the gun to Ten's head.

"Trunk." Ten sighs. Doyoung doesn't fail to miss the annoyed look on his face. He strikes Ten with the gun, causing his head to bleed. He quickly hurries and opens the trunk.

"Oh my god." Doyoung gently grabs him, picking him up bridal style. He kneels down. "Sicheng-ah, wake up. Can you hear me? Wake up." He lightly slaps his cheek but the younger.

Ten watches from his mirror, taking notice of the way Doyoung holds him in his arms.

"Doyoung?" Sicheng weakly calls.

Doyoung brushes his hair out of his face and hugs him. "You scared me." He whispers. He stands up and carries Sicheng to his car.

Ten raises an eyebrow as he watches Doyoung take Sicheng away. Something about it feels quite off and he can't pinpoint why. Nevertheless, he starts his car, driving back to his villa, frustrated that his plans didn't go accordingly.

Doyoung sits in the hospital. It's been a few hours since he got here. The sun was starting to rise as well.

Ningning finally came out, Doyoung immediately standing up. "How is he? He's okay, right?" He asks.

"How did this happen again?" Ningning asks.

"First I need to know if he's okay." Doyoung states firmly, throwing Ningning off guard. She clears her throat.

"He's alright. He's resting now. We took out the shards of glass and checked him for any internal injuries. Whatever was used, didn't go too deep into him so he's fine for the most part. His wounds should heal quickly." Ningning explains to him.
