Crimson Shadows

Chapter 18

-Seokjin's Pov-

I sighed tiredly after a long day at work. Usually I bury myself with all the work but that changed ever since Namjoon came into my life. I hated working long hours as usual since all I kept thinking about was going home to my love. I want to hear his giggles again and feel him snuggle up in my arms

I cleaned up the last bit of evidence before going to my car and hurriedly drove back home. I slowly entered the house but I knew Namjoon would still hear it and would immediately come running into my arms but this time I was met with silence. Something was wrong.

"Darling? Are you home?" I called out softly but I was met with silence again

My heart dropped as I searched the house but no sign. I felt my whole world crumble. I went back to the bedroom feeling a bit dizzy. He...no. It's not possible...no one will be able to go in. I hired a lot of bodyguards...unless.

I quick pulled out my phone and dialed Minhyuk's number with shaking hands as I thought of the worst scenarios on what happened to Namjoon

"Investigate my bodyguards now. I want to know how someone got in my fucking safe house and took my darling!" I immediately ended the call not waiting for a response

I paced the room, my mind racing with fear and anger. How could this happen? How could someone get past all the security measures I had put in place? The thought of Namjoon in danger made my blood run cold. My phone buzzed, and I quickly answered it.

"Minhyuk, what did you find?"

"Boss, it looks like there was a breach. One of the guards was found unconscious, and another is missing."

"Missing?" I gritted my teeth. "Do you have any leads?"

"We're still looking into it, but it seems like an inside job. Someone on the inside betrayed you."

I felt a wave of rage wash over me. "Find out who it was and bring them to me. I want answers."

"Yes, boss."

I hung up and tried to think clearly. I needed to find Namjoon, and I needed to do it fast. My phone buzzed again, this time with a message. I opened it, my heart pounding.

"If you want to see your precious Namjoon again, meet me at the old warehouse at midnight. Come alone."-H

My hands shook as I read the message. Hyunjin. Of course, it was him. This was his way of getting back at me, of taking what I loved most. I had no choice. I had to go. At midnight, I arrived at the old warehouse. The place was dark and eerie, and my heart pounded in my chest. I couldn't see anything or anyone, but I knew Hyunjin was here.

"Hyunjin!" I called out, my voice echoing through the empty space. "Show yourself!"

A figure emerged from the shadows, and I saw Hyunjin's smug face. He was holding Namjoon, who looked terrified but unharmed.

"Seokie..." Namjoon whispered, his voice trembling.

"It's okay, darling. I'm here..." I said, trying to keep my voice steady.

Hyunjin smirked. "Well, well, well. Look who decided to show up."
