Bound By Chains | Minsung

5 - I pity you

Within a few hours Jisung was brought to a different house as instructed to Changbin and Seungmin by Minho

This wasn't any headquarter. In fact it wasn't related to mafia at all. It was Minho's. He bought it after he graduated uni for whenever he needed an escape from anything...especially his father. It was smaller than his house at the headquarter but it was a lot more homely 

Jisung looked around the place looking at the various decorations and he had to say that the neatness was commendable

"Mr Han we will be outside if you need anything" said Seungmin

"So he posted you guys to keep a lookout on me huh...won't people see you outside?" Jisung put down the cat shaped flower pot he was holding

"We have our ways" Changbin smirked

"Is everyone here this weird?" Jisung questioned evidently annoyed "I feel like a pig being raised for slaughter. Why the fuck are ya'll treating me like a guest?"

"Boss' orders"

The two guys left and Jisung sat down on the bed. Not that he was very comfortable anyways because the pain made it difficult for him to move about. He closed his eyes to clear his mind and to plan out what he would do next. Whatever  was happening to him already did not make any sense. In the midst of thinking he eventually fell asleep...probably because of all the medicines

*Slap*

Minho closed his eyes as the burning sensation spread over his cheek

"You, you fucking helped him escape!"

Minho's father shouted at him

"He did nothing wrong father, he does not know where the documents are"

"QUIET! He the enemy's son! He was worth so much. We could've gotten so much information from him but you fucking ruined it all!"

Loud shouts echoed through the large office

"I had asked you to stay away from him just like befo-"

"You asked your men to torture him! Someone innocent!"

"So? He is our enemy! We do NOT NEGOTIATE WITH OUR ENEMIES"

"It isn't always necessary"

Minho's father was taken aback

"All these years is this what I have taught you? You are the heir of the family and this is how you behave? You will fucking bring my hardwork and everything I have done for this family down to their doom. I AM ASHAMED TO CALL YOU MY SON"

"Then don't...I had asked you not to years ago..."

With that Minho stormed out of the office

Hwang Industries Company building

"Mr Hwang?"

There was a knock on Hyunjin's office door and then Chan walked in with Jeongin

"Director Bang please have a seat"

"Jeongin asked me to meet you"

"Yes...its regarding Mr Lee"

"Oh your...?"

"No no no not him. Lee Minho"

"Minho hyung was here?!?" Jeongin exclaimed

"Yeah"

Chan pinched his temple on hearing the name and then lowered his voice slightly

"What's he done again?"

"Nothing...he just gave me a pendrive, you have to look into it. It seems important"

Chan took the pendrive in his hand

"Hmmm, are the trackers removed?" Jeongin examined the pendrive

"Yes...Lix cleared it all"

"Access details?" Chan asked

Hyunjin ruffled through his right hand sleeve and pulled out a folded piece paper which Minho had inserted when they shook hands (he has his skills) and gave it to Jeongin

"Fine, me and Jeongin will take care of it"

"Thanks hyung"

The next day Jisung did not see Minho the entire day. Most of the time he spent reading random books and Seungmin and Changbin showed up once in a while to talk to him

His wounds were dry by now. They only hurt when they came in contact with water and the bruises did hurt a little when he moved but he was used to it. He has endured worse

At night he was sitting on the bed looking outside of the window. The moon casted a haze of white splendor over the scenery outside

His thoughts were interrupted when the front door opened and closed

"You're awake"

Jisung hummed, still looking out of the window

Minho dropped a file on the bed along with a phone and a gun

"Your things, and the file contains land contracts...I have already bought the lands in Busan but the paperwork is left so you can sign them and send it to the dealer"

Jisung took the files and went through the paperwork. Everything was on point. He put the file down and looked at Minho. 

"Why are you helping me?"

Minho sighed

"I think I had already told you yesterday"

"That wasn't a proper answer"

Minho did not speak

"I think you should rest. I'll leav-"

"NO MINHO, answer me first"

"What answer do you want? You are innocent, I'll just let them hurt you?"

"Why should you care? And how do you know that I am innocent?"

"What?"

Their eyes locked with each other

"Why...why do you trust me so much?

Minho's jaws tightened. He turned around to walk away

"Answer my question Minho! I don't want you to favor me just because we were-"

Minho immediately rushed towards Jisung, not letting him finish and fisted his collar

"LISTEN HAN JISUNG, just because I am helping you don't take it to your head! I am pitying you and your fucking condition so don't question me. I really hope that we don't have to see each other again after this"

Minho's eyes were burning with fire...a very long suppressed fire

Jisung was so shocked he couldn't even blink. For the first time in a while, he was scared

Minho let go of him and stormed out

Jisung still could not respond to anything that happened.

His eyes welled up unshed with tears. He felt a pain much more painful than everything he had felt over the last few days

Minho ran. He just ran. He didn't even know where he was going. His head felt heavy as if everything around him was shaking

For so long he had convinced himself that he had forgotten everything but now...

A drop of tear escaped his eyes
