My Lover ~ Jeonghcheol Of Seventeen

It's you against the whole world...❤️‍🩹

"Can you really afford not to" Sangmin's voice reechoed into the cottage, grasping the attention of two of them. Cheol was uncertain if he would be able to hold Han out of harm's way once they left but then again, he had no control to choose left to him.

This was a Nightmare, an unpleasant dream turned out to be true for Cheol and Han, which vividly woke them from their gentle embrace of love. It had been almost an hour since they were brought to the police station however everything was still, no questioning, no further investigation, no news of Soohyun, nothing.

But soon after, Cheol finally had been called for questioning discretely in hope these events of misfortune will finally be over soon but wrath throbbed in the moment like a heartbeat, when Cheol returned, Han was not there.

He waited for Han to come and asked people around for him but then again all turned out to be unfazed. Wondering about Han, moving back and forth in entirely quiet place, eyes seeking to get glimpse of his love. Cheol was upright on the verge of gusting out his emotions.

Countless worries were haunting him enormously, for a moment he was thinking about Han being captive alone in darkness of bewilderment and fear, when he solely desired to cherish him with pleasant memories and in another moment grief for Soohyun, he wanted to see him, he wanted to know if he is okay.

He was sorrowful, near to tears. Cheol was feeling a bitter taste in the back of his mouth of uncertainty which he couldn't seem to get rid of, questions were ringing in his head.

Guilt seemed to rise in his eyes, in the stillness of the moment he was waiting for Jihoon too so that he could send away Han from this chaos. At Sangmin's mercy he let Cheol call Jihoon, he had to contact Jihoon, as he could not choose who else to trust.

Holding hope for hours, his fingers seeking out anything they could hold onto, he felt desperation taking over every ounce of his tolerance, breathes growled in his throat he rushed to Sangmin's office diminishing the shield of people who were restraining him to enter the office. He frantically, shattered the door, step in taking brisk steps as he spoke his voice abolished the stillness around the room.

Cheol's eyes wavered over Sangmin who was sitting ensconced on his chair. Cheol swallowed down his frustration, it was a New Testament of his tolerance each time he was getting even a slenderest sight of Sangmin and being in the same room which was added rampage for him however he had to tame it for his lover.

Cheol- where is Jeonghan? (He asked his voice was laced with concern and desperation.)

Sangmin- well this is a very impolite move by you to enter into my office without my consent. (he said with seriousness in his voice) why are you making everything so difficult for you sir. (he smirked)

Cheol- I'm not here to play your silly games. (His lips tightened into a stubborn line, when he roared on Sangmin)

Sangmin- (he chuckled) silly games, I'm doing my duties diligently. (A cloud of warning settled over his features) Did not I grant wish of yours, to call a lawyer for you hours ago but I did see no one. (he waved his hands around, gesturing at nothing, smirk on his face widened)

Fury and concern thundered through Cheol's mind; his only hand of help Jihoon was nowhere to be seen. Where is Jihoon could be (he wondered) what if he is also in danger, he shook his head he was barely keeping his patience furious by discerning if anything happened beyond this point to anyone he loved.

Sangmin peered towards Cheol's hands, nails dug into his own palms clasped into fist perhaps he was holding them tightly to halt any protest his thin patience towards Sangmin could cause.

The rush of adrenaline made it hard for him to think, being overwhelmed by emotions was never Cheol's weakness, but today he was helpless in the name of love, only could whisper - Where is Jeonghan??

But received nothing from Sangmin except for a plain glare, Cheol uttered with bitter resentment-

Cheol- why is he even being detained here, when by far he had no connection whatsoever with Soohyun. (he hissed while he hit his hands on the table in front of Sangmin in anger causing a cold shake into the air.)

Sangmin- but he has with you does not he? (he mumbled)

Cheol's heart clenched at the realization of depth of Sangmin's words, he raised up and was on verse to roared out on Sangmin, when a familiar voice rang and drifted the tremor around him.

"Cheol"

It was Cheol's father.

Cheol turned and found his father at the door of Sangmin's office. His brows rose in disbelief, his muscles in the jaw tensed and he stayed frozen for a moment. "Appa...??" (he finally spoke up, his forehead wrinkled in surprise)

The moment flared up like a puzzle, adrenaline poured through, Cheol stopped in his track, his thoughts raced but could not master up the answers as he stood before his father. Mr. Choi bolted towards Cheol as he still kept his calm.

Mr. Choi- "What happened Cheol?" (he asked, his lips tightened as he looked at the Cheol's anger)

Cheol- appa, it's Soohyun (he choked up into his words) d-did Jihoon told you? (he added while stuttering)

But I asked him to not tell you. (Cheol wondered)

Mr. Choi- Jihoon? (he frowned)

Mr. Choi's instant reaction was obvious; Jihoon was not the one who informed him but if it's not Jihoon then who?

Mr. Choi- how are you ended up in this situation Cheol? (he inquired)

Before Cheol could breathe out a word Sangmin interjected in between.

Sangmin- this is the mystery we all are here to solve, isn't Mr. Seungcheol. (he raised his brows and expressed derisively)

Mr. Choi- Officer Sangmin, (he moved his attention forward towards Sangmin) thank you for calling me here, but I did not understand why my son was being held here. (he added his voice was firm).

Sangmin- Mr. Choi, I was looking forward to seeing you. (he said)

Cheol's vehemence sprang to life, as he sank further into the severity of circumstances, he began to panic... falling into deep in the ocean of worries, where no light could reach.

Cheol- cut to the chase and tell your true intension as we both know very well; this is not how it's all works (he turned to face Sangmin) and that doesn't take into account the fact that you are just interrogating a crime. (his voice became frenzied)

Mr. Choi- Cheol I wanted to have a conversation with the officer Sangmin; would you give us a moment. (he demanded, in an unemotional voice without sparing eyes over him)

Cheol- but appa Han?? (his stomach contracts into a tight ball when he gawked in disbelief)

...Love is indeed like a drug, could force anybody to shake the whole world, but it could as well form one to feel so puny, with vulnerabilities...

Cheol stood frozen at the doorway, sick with nerves, he made his way out of Sangmin's office. Random voices were howling against his ears. There was only one problem - there was no one near him... Cheol left exposed, what other choice did he have now? Only his soul was screaming....

"Where is Han?"
