It was almost the break of dawn.

San still couldn't see the truth as he kept denying that his brother was actually a head of a mafia group. Vernon wasn't really that smart and great, but he had guts and always a risk-it-all man. He saw Hongjoong outside, waiting for him to come to his senses. It was a wreck. A mess. His company sold, his future sealed in chains with a woman he doesn't even know, and Wooyoung...

The more he thought of him, the more he realizes how deep the wound his brother inflicted to him.

"We gotta go. I asked two of my men to come over. I cannot drive properly if there's no back up behind."

Hongjoong stared at the horizon. Time was not their friend as he rustled among his pockets the note that was hanged with dried blood. He knew that San has yet need to come around about Vernon. He had already had a feeling about that older brother. Ever since he visited him, and let him take the fall of his little brother. Hongjoong knew that whatever was happening, San was in the dark, and it would be better to be seen as the villain before everything is revealed.

A car went around and San saw two men around six foot or so in height get out of the car. One had a bulky build, while the other slim. The bulky one gave an envelope to Hongjoong, calling him boss. The slim one looked at San. His eyes was filled with intensity that he tried to back away, if not for Hongjoong calling his name.

"San, come over here," Hongjoong said, "This envelope contains what you need to understand. I'll drive, and you make sure to read everything in these documents. Yunho and Mingi will be behind us for back up if needed."

The bulky one, Yunho, greeted him formally with such a smile that compared to that dog in the movie UP. He was happy and looked fascinated as he looked around, even exclaiming that it's his first time seeing a crime scene. The slim one, Mingi, still looked at San with intensity.

"Can you stop looking at me like that?"

"What?"

"You," San moved forward, "You look like you wanna have a go, is that it?"

"No? This is just how I look."

"Yeah," Hongjoong squeezed in the middle, "San, don't worry about it. He's not being disrespectful. He just look like that, and he's actually scared."

"I'm not scared," Mingi retorted, adjusting his jacket. Yunho then caressed Mingi's nape, giving the latter the shudder and screamed.

San then for the first time that day, laughed and even cried a bit.

"Alright," San finally wiped his tears and calmed down, "Please help me find my Wooyoung."

He opened his eyes, and saw Mingyu sharpening a knife.

As his eyes wandered, he felt that he was still in chains, but he was actually in a bed. He understood that what happened to him was not a dream. He was naked. His jaw was hurting from punches and things that was inserted in his mouth the night before. His back was in pain, and a splatter of lubricant and semen was all over him.

Wooyoung knew and prayed again and again that he'd rather fall asleep once again than try to survive another round of this torture.

"Has he awakened?"

The man who is called Seungcheol spoke, and saw that he was topless.

Ah, it was him yesterday, in front of me, thought Wooyoung, and the crazy bastard was the one below...
