Love So Strong ~Hueningkai~

Chapter 18

Kai was taking a stroll in the city again. Another month had gone by, and there was no word or sign of Ari. He passed by food trucks and went over to a table, sitting down and waiting for Taehyun. He suddenly got goosebumps and felt uneasy, like he was being watched. He turned his head and looked around. He didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Lots of people walking and eating. It was always busy at this time of night. He took his cell out and called Taehyun. 

"Yah, where are you?" 

"I'm grabbing my food now. Where are you? I'll come to you." Taehyun responded. 

"Near the end of the food trucks, across from the market." 

"Okay, give me ten minutes. I think i'm on the opposite side of you." Taehyun ended the call. 

Kai still felt like eyes were staring into his soul, making him feel uneasy. He stood up and decided to meet Taehyun halfway so they could get out. He walked through the crowd, turning his head once in a while. A man coming towards him ran into him, his shoulder bumping Kai hard. Kai turned to watch the man continue walking. Kai gulped, thinking about following him. He looked around to see if Taehyun was close but didn't see him. So he followed the man in black. The man was walking towards a dark alley. Kai hesitated, but his instinct told him to keep going. Kai turned into the alley and stopped. The man was gone. He went to grab his phone to call Taehyun when suddenly something pushed him up against the wall, his forehead hitting the cement. He groaned and slid to the ground, holding his forehead. Hands yanked him up, making Kai face the one who pushed him. His eyes widened when he saw that it was the man that he had followed. The man had his hood on and a black mask covering half of his face. Kai brought his knee up and hit him where the sun didn't shine. The man yelped and bent forward. Kai took the time to kick him in the ground. The man fell on his back but quickly dug in his pocket and pulled out a gun. He pointed it at Kai, but Kai was able to grab his hand and twist it, the man groaning in pain, releasing the gun. 

"Who sent you?" Kai asked.

The man snickered and took his leg, swinging it over and knocking Kai to the ground. Kai was on his back, and the man got on top of him, pinning him down. This guy was strong. Kai was having trouble. He was panicking. The guy managed to throw a few punches to  Kai's face. Kai was doing his best to try to get the man off. He could feel blood running down his face. The man placed his hands around Kai's neck and started to strangle him. Kai was struggling to breathe, trying to use his hands and legs to get the guy off. 

"I'm not supposed to kill ya, but I want to." The man's eyes glared at him. He gave Kai one more shove, his head hitting the ground. Kai didn't move, his hands releasing the man's arms. He wasn't dead, just very weak. The man stood up and gave him one more kick to the side. Kai groaned out in pain. "I'll tell Ari you said hi." The man started to walk away. 

Kai manages to roll onto his side, spitting blood out of his mouth. He looked at the guy walking away. Ari? He used the wall to stand up. He was not about to let this guy get away. With the strength he had left, he picked up a wooden panel that was sitting near a dumpster and ran over to the guy, bringing the panel down on top of the man's head. He fell down, unconscious. Kai was panting as he looked at the man. He wipes the blood off his face with his arm, taking his phone out and calling Taehyun. 

"Hey, where are you? I can't..." 

"Where the fuck are you! I've been attacked. I'm in the alley behind the market. Bring the car and hurry!" He hung up. 

A few minutes later, Taehyun pulled up and got out of the car. He saw Kai and then he looked over at the man on the ground. "What the fuc..."

"Get the rope in the trunk and help me tie him up. We are bringing him back with us. I think he was sent here to find me. He said Ari's name." 

They tied the man up and gagged him and tossed him in the trunk. Taehyun drove while Kai called Soobin to let him know they were bringing someone back and to have a room ready. 

They finally got to the house, and a few members of BTS and TXT were waiting outside for them. Taehyun parked, and Kai got out, going to the trunk. Soobin ran over and turned Kai to face him. Soobin looked Kai over. He had cuts and bruises that were starting to show, as well as a bloody nose and lip. 

"Shit, he did a number on you. Have Beomgyu clean you up. We can deal with him." Soobin went to go to the trunk when Kai spoke up, 

"No, I'm going to have a chat with the guy. He knows where she is. I'll torture his ass until he breaks and gives me the answer I want." 

Soobin held his hands up and nodded. Kai walked over to the trunk and pulled the man out. He let the man fall on the ground, taking his hands and dragging him towards the garage. BTS watched. They weren't going to get involved. This was Kai's business. Nam-joon turned to Soobin, 

"If you need us, let us know. I'll let Kai and the rest of you handle this situation. Have fun." BTS walked back inside. Soobin looked over at Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Yeonjun. 

"Shall we?" 

Beomgyu nodded and walked towards the garage. "This is gonna be a hell of a night, boys." He clapped his hands and rubbed them together. Yeonjun smiled. Indeed, it was. The Butcher was going to appear tonight, and when he does, it's not pretty.
