Love So Strong ~Hueningkai~

Chapter 19

WARNING - GRAPHIC CONTENT

The man woke up, his eyes taking in his surroundings. His head was pounding. What the heck happened. He tried to move but couldn't. He looked down. Rope was tied around his torso, his hands bound behind his back with chains as well as his feet. He tried to move his arms and legs, hoping to loosen the ropes. 

"Don't bother trying to escape. You aren't going anywhere anytime soon." 

The man looked up, glaring at the one that spoke. Beomgyu was sitting in a chair in front of him, fiddling with his gun. He sighed and stood up. "Guess I'll go let my buddies know that you are awake." Beomgyu walked over to a door, opened it, and stuck his head out. "He's awake." 

The man sat still, watching as four guys came, one of them being Huening Kai. Kai stepped forward, the others standing behind him, leaning on a table beside the wall. 

Kai grabbed the chair and turned it so it was facing backward. He sat down, his legs straddling the chair and his arms leaning on the back, a dagger in his hand. 

"Here's how it's going to go. You're going to tell me everything you know about Ari, and if i think you're telling the truth, I won't use this." He dangles the dagger in front of his face. "But first, you're gonna tell me your name." 

The man spat at him. Kai rubbed the spit off his face and stood up. 

"You don't scare me, little boy. I've been through worse. I highly doubt you can do shit." The man spat out. 

Kai turned his head to look at the four guys, clearly ready for a show. He turned his head back and quickly raised his hand and brought the dagger down, stabbing the man's thigh.

The man screamed out. Kai left the dagger sticking out of his leg. 

"Your name. Please." Kai said, crossing his arms. 

"Fuck you." The man stuttered out. 

Kai held his hand out and Taehyun placed another dagger in his hand. Kai ran his finger along the edge of the knife until he got to the tip. 

"You are a crazy son of a bitch." 

Kai smirked. "It'd be easier on you if you just answer my question." He squatted down until he was eye level with him. Kai stared into his dark eyes. "One more chance." 

The man growled at him. "Alek." 

Kai stood up. "That wasn't so hard was it,  Alek? Now, where is Ari?" 

Alek smirked. "Probably getting the shit kicked out of her due to the stunt she pulled on my friend. Wanna know what she did? She tried to escape but failed miserably. Manage to stab my friend in the back with a knife. So, as her punishment, Dmitri sent me to find you. So it's her fault that I beat the shit out of ya."

Kai whipped the dagger across Alek's face. Alek groaned, his face burning on fire. He looked straight at Kai. "When Dmitri finds out about this, Ari will definitely be a goner." 

Soobin stepped forward, standing next to Kai. "Where is she?" 

"Who the fuck are you? " Alek spits out. Blood is running down his face now. 

"Does it matter." Soobin crossed his arms. 

Alek laughs. "I just kid. I know who you all are. TXT, Seoul's mafia gang. Dmitri knows about you too. Heck, we know more about you than your pretty girlfriend. Am I right, Kai?"

"You know damn well that she wanted no part in the mafia business. Even her family kept her out of it, until Dmitri dragged her in." Kai said, clearly annoyed. 

Alek smirks again. He licks his lips. "Does she know that you are the butcher? Hmmm? I bet she doesn't. The one thing that you kept from her. How do you think she would feel knowing that the boy she loves has blood on his hands." He taunts Kai. 

Kai ignores him and goes to the table in the back. He grabs a few things and walks back to Alek. Beomgyu, Soobin, Taehyun and Yeonjun, lean against the walls, around the two. Alek starts to get a little nervous. 

Kai has a small hatchet in his hands. He gets straight to the point. "Where is Ari, Alek?"

"She's gonna hate you when she finds out who you really are." He snarls out. 

Kai swings the hatchet and hits him in the right knee. Alek yells out bloody murder. Kai takes the hatchet out, blood streaming down his leg. 

"Are we really going to have to do this the hard way, Alek? Just tell me what I want, and then you can go scurrying back to Dmitri." Kai says while he circles him. 

Alek was panting now. He looks over at the others. "Why aren't you stopping him?!" 

Yeonjun looks at his nails. "Why would we do that? This is his expertise. Trust me, by the end of the night, we will have answers." He drops his hands and stares at Alek. 

Alek looks way, starting to panic. He swallows and looks at Kai.

Kai motions to the guys. Alek is confused but then feels hands yanking him up to his feet and being dragged backward, his back hitting a wall. Soobin and Yeonjun quickly untie the ropes and then take his hands, handcuffing them above his head to the metal rail that was attached to the ceiling. His legs were spread out, chained to metal poles on either side of him. 

Alek's eyes widened. Kai had a handful of knives in his hands. "We are going to play a game. I ask a question, and you answer. If I don't like your answer, well, you already know." Kai said while swinging one of knives around. The four others stood back. 

"If you wanna live, you better give him a good answer. He doesn't miss." Taehyun said.

Alek started to breathe heavy. "You are psycho, Huening Kai. If Ari survives and finds out about you, she'll run the other way, away from you!" 

A dagger flies towards his face, and Alek's eyes closed. 

Thud. 

Alek opens his eyes and looks to his left. He sees the knife within inches from his face. His ear feels hot. 

"I missed on purpose, Alek." Kai calmly said. "Next time, I won't." 

Two hours later, Kai finally got an answer out of him. Ari was in Moscow. Soobin and Beomgyu were removing Alek's body from the chains, setting him down on the floor. His body was unrecognizable. He was a bloody mess, and yet he was still alive, barely. Soobin dragged his body out, taking him to the other room where they had a cell to put him in. They would be taking him along with them when they go to Moscow. 

"I'll go inform BTS, and we can try to fly out asap." Taehyun said. Kai nodded, leaning against the table, with his arms crossed, staring straight ahead. Yeonjun left with Taehyun. Beomgyu walked over to Kai and leaned against the table with him. 

"You okay, bro?" Beomgyu asked. 

Kai sighed and uncrossed his arms. "What do you think Ari will do if she did find out? I could potentially lose her." Kai bowed his head. 

Beomgyu placed his hand on his shoulder. "I know she wouldn't like it one bit, but she knows it part of our job. Her father and brothers did this as well, but that still didn't change the way she felt about them. She loves you, Kai. Very much. I wouldn't worry about it." 

Kai nodded. Beomgyu wrapped his arm around his shoulders, and he led them out, heading up to the house. 

BTS and TXT received word that they could fly tomorrow at noon and hopefully get there by nightfall. Nam-joon was going to send a few of his guys with them: Suga, Taehyung, and Jimin. The eight gathered in the weapon room and started packing. Guns, ammo, black suits, so they could blend in and earpieces to stay connected. When everything was all ready, they went to bed, wanting to get a good night's rest. Kai laid awake, though. His mind was on Ari. He pushed the thought of her hating him for being known as the butcher. His heart would break if she left him. He sighed and rolled onto his side. 

"I'm coming, Ari. I'm coming."
