"Well, isn't this surprising," The older male grinned. "If it isn't Kim Hongjoong, one of San's closest friends. Here tied up right in front of me," The boss spoke as he grabbed an extra chair and placed it right in front of the blue-haired male. He took a seat and pulled out a metal case which carried his cigarettes. He opened the case and pulled a cigarette out, placing it between his lips before flicking his lighter open and cupping his hand around the flame as he lit the end of it. He inhaled the addictive tobacco before exhaling a puff of smoke straight into Hongjoong's face driving the male to shut his eyes and look away.

"So enlighten me Hongjoong. Why do I find you sitting here in front of me? I asked for San to meet me alone on Friday," The boss said as he inhaled and exhaled another cloud of smoke. Hongjoong coughed slightly from the sudden smoke that filled his lungs before speaking, "Oh, come on don't be like that Kang-Dae. I'm pretty sure you know why I'm here. This would be San's first time coming to your estate, and we needed to make sure that we had the right place. After all, you didn't even put a proper address on the letter. You just said to come to your estate."

Kang-Dae furrowed his eyebrows together as he thought for a second. "Was there really no address?" He questioned the younger. Yunho and Mingi had baffled expressions on their faces. There was no way he sent a letter telling someone to meet them but didn't even put a proper address. "No. There was no address. Just come to the Jeon Estate," Hongjoong gently informed.

Kang-Dae's eyes widened before he regained his cold composure. "Well, there was supposed to be an address... But now we have you detained, so I guess it worked out in our favor. Now, I'm sure you know how this is going to go. Tell us what you know, and we spare you," The male said smugly. Hongjoong raised an eyebrow as he looked at the male. "Do you honestly expect me to share what I know?" Hongjoong scoffed as he mumbled, "Idiot."

"Well, you don't have a choice. After all, we have Wooyoung completely sedated. We could do whatever we wanted to him... that includes taking his life. And you three won't be able to do anything about it," Kang-Dae smugly spoke as a twisted grin formed on his face. This sentence caused the three males to glare at the older male. "You wouldn't dare," Hongjoong sternly shouted.

"Oh? But here's the thing. I would," He spoke as his grin got wider. "Tell us you're lying. You wouldn't kill him knowing the consequences you might face..." Yunho said with a shaky voice. "I'm afraid that everything I'm saying is the truth. Aw, come on guys! Don't make those faces. How about I let you three think things over? You have until tomorrow," He laughed as he got up from his chair and walked towards the door. They saw a little bit of light from the open door, but other than that, they had no idea what was out there.

"Shit," Mingi softly cursed. "Now, what are we supposed to do? We can't just give out information, but we can't risk them hurting Wooyoung," Yunho spoke with a desperate voice. "We need to stall. I doubt they will kill Wooyoung, but they really might harm him or do something worse. It's Wednesday today so we just need to wait for about one more day..." Hongjoong said with a quivering voice.

"We can do this. We already know that he is sensitive when it comes to his wife," Mingi shared causing Hongjoong to look at him. "That's right, I forgot he's married and has a daughter," He spoke. "He has a daughter?" Yunho and Mingi both shouted entirely stunned. Hongjoong nodded before speaking, "Double life. He's married and has a daughter and they are his entire world, but at the same time, he is a gang leader."

"Really? That's not what it looked like before..." Yunho said as he uncomfortably tried to shift in his seat. "What do you mean?" Hongjoong asked. "Well, let's just say that he isn't sexually satisfied in that marriage..." Yunho continued. Mingi shivered as the memories of earlier resurfaced.





On Thursday, things went smoothly. They had successfully managed to take Kang-Dae's attention off of Wooyoung and more on them. Throughout the whole time, their hearts were pounding, and their hands trembled. Eventually, one of Kang-Dae's men came into the room and informed him that it was already late at night and that he had to get ready for the next day. Once they heard that, they could finally relax a little. But this sent Kang-dae into a rage, which they had anticipated. This left the three males with many scars, burns, and bruises. Blood dripped down their bodies and they were both mentally and physically drained. They now had to worry about two things. One was about their health as it was possible they could bleed out or get an infection. After all, they were in a dark dirty basement. The floors were made of concrete. They couldn't quite tell what the walls were made of, but they assumed it was either brick or concrete. The only light they had was a dim lightbulb that barely illuminated the room. The second concern they had was where was Wooyoung and whether he was okay.

They had no idea how much time had passed. It felt as if time had just stopped at that moment. The smell of cigarettes lingered in the air but was overpowered by the powerful metallic scent of blood. The blood continued to spill from their wounds and onto the floor making Yunho and Mingi slowly start to feel lightheaded as they had it worse. That was until the rapid fire of gunshots could be heard. They fought back the urge to knock out and focused on where the gunshots were coming from. They turned their attention toward the door that was swung open. They had slightly expected it to be Kang-Dae but were surprised to see Jongho standing in the doorframe.

"Jongho!" Hongjoong shouted as he looked at the younger. "Holy shit," Jongho said with widened eyes. He quickly called for others, causing a few more people to come into the room to help him untie the three males. Around three males helped Yunho and Mingi back to where Seonghwa was to receive medical treatment.

As Jongho finished taking the restraints off of Hongjoong, the older immediately stood up and reached for one of Jongho's extra guns. "Hey, what do you think you're doing? You are in no condition to fight right now. Besides, if I let you then Seonghwa will kill me," Jongho said as he grabbed Hongjoong's wrist attempting to stop him from rushing out of the room.

"We need to find Wooyoung immediately. All I know is that before I got here they took him to another room and sedated him. He has no way of protecting himself so we need to find him," Hongjoong quickly spoke. Jongho bit his lower lip before letting go of Hongjoong's wrist. "Fine. I'll search upstairs you search down here," Jongho said as he handed the older a dagger, earpiece, and extra ammo. "Contact me if you find him alright?" Jongho said as Hongjoong put the earpiece in his ear. The two males nodded at each other before parting ways, Hongjoong going left and Jongho going back up the stairs.

Hongjoong wouldn't lie and say that he wasn't in pain as he searched the entire basement grounds, but he pushed through. With a loaded gun, he looked in every room killing anyone that got in his way, but there were no signs of Wooyoung. That was until he reached one room, where there was some type of medical equipment that was typically used for heavy
sedation. He searched around the room and figured that they had moved Wooyoung to somewhere else. Using the earpiece, he informed Jongho about what he discovered. He then rushed back down the dark corridors and to the staircase. He quickly ran up the stairs and was met with the blinding light of the sun and the white walls of the estate. With that, he asked for Jongho's current location, which was the second floor so, Hongjoong made his way to the third floor.

San on the other hand was personally dealing with someone else.

"I thought I told you to come alone," Kang-Dae stammered out. San stared down the male and couldn't help but grin. "Yeah well, last time you fought with my father you played dirty so thought I should return the favor," He spoke with a chilling tone. "Besides, I had to make sure that we retrieved Wooyoung and his little friends. Knowing you if I came alone they wouldn't make it out. In fact, I already received word that Yunho and Mingi have already been retrieved. Wooyoung on the other hand wasn't with them... So, where the fuck is he?"

"You know San I did say you would have to trade your life in order to retrieve Wooyoung. I intend to keep my word," Kang-Dae spoke as if he controlled the situation. "You did say that. But honestly, I think that it should be you to die... after all, now you have nothing to live for. I on the other hand do." San smirked as he leaned against one of the walls. "What are you talking about." The older male questioned the younger. "I mean your family, the most important people in your life are dead so..."
