From Forced to Something Real

-Chapter 9-

「3rd Person POV」

Chan, Changbin and Hyunjin were all chatting when a waitress came up to their table with some plates of food. She placed the food down on the table and then she left.

"Finally the food is here!" Changbin said excitedly. Already stuffing his mouth with fried chicken breasts.

Chan shook his head slightly at Changbin. Then he sighed before getting his chopsticks and picking up some food to eat. Hyunjin also started eating. The three of them were mostly eating and barely talking anymore. Most of the things they were saying was how good the food was.

*After finishing the dinner*

"Oh my god, I'm literally going to explode from eating so much!" Hyunjin said dramatically.

"Come on, let's go back to the Hwang Mansion now. We've been here for 2 hours already." Chan said.

They walked to the car and unlocked it. They got into the car and they sat in the same positions as earlier. Chan drove off after making sure that Hyunjin and Changbin all had seatbelts on. It was quiet on the way back, since there's really nothing to say now because they already said basically everything while driving here and eating.

Chan started to play some soft music to remove the complete silentness of the car ride. And it was all peaceful and everything for the next few minutes. Hyunjin was on his phone and Changbin was exercising with a 5 pound dumbbell that Changbin somehow found.

"Uhm, Chan? Hyunjin?" Changbin suddenly said at a red light.

"Yea?" Chan answered, and Hyunjin just hummed an answer.

"Was that always there before?" Changbin asked, pointing to a folded paper stuck in between the driver's seat and the arm rest.

Then Hyunjin's eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "No, I don't think so. Chan did you put it there?" Hyunjin asked Chan.

Chan shook his head. "I didn't even know there was this paper here. And I don't think it was here before." Chan said.

"So, do you think... Someone was in this car and putted this paper in here while we were eating?" Changbin said with a worried tone.

Hyunjin stayed quiet. Then he reached over and grabbed the folded piece of paper. He read it and his eyebrows once again furrowed in confusion. "What? What is it?" Chan asked. He had started driving again because the lights were green now.

"Just wait until I get my hands on him... He'll pay for what he did to me. Hand him over and there won't be any problems." Hyunjin read aloud.

The three of them stayed quiet for about 5 seconds before Chan questioned, "What does that even mean?"

"No idea." Hyunjin replied. Everyone in the car was equally confused.

"Who's the threat even directing to?" Changbin asked.

"It doesn't say..." Hyunjin answered. "We'll study it later. Right now, check for secret listening devices and spy cameras." Hyunjin ordered. Folding the paper again and stuffing it into his pockets.

When they arrived at the Hwang Mansion, Changbin reported that there was neither listening devices nor spy cameras, but he wasn't sure and said the professionals would reinspect the car. Then afterwards Chan and Changbin left to go home because they didn't have any shifts to do.

Hyunjin went into his room where he found Felix. "Hey, where'd you go?" He asked Hyunjin.

"Nowhere." Hyunjin said back. He wasn't in the mood right now. He had to know who was behind this message, and who the threat is directed to. He had to know what happened while they were eating.
