CHAY

"Where are we actually going?" Chay asks, watching everything outside of the window going by very fast because one thing about Wik Theerapanyakul? He drives like a madman. Chay himself loves to drive fast, but this feels too much even for him.

Wik takes a sharp turn left and replies, "you'll see soon."

"I'll see soon, hmm..." Chay hums. "Why so secretive? Remember, I'm Chay, your bestie. Not Non, your boyfriend. And we aren't on our way to a surprise date."

"Ha ha, very funny," Wik rolls his eyes. "We are going to my apartment. There, we can plan our strategy and get everything we need before we go to end some lives."

Chay looks at Wik surprised, "you have your own apartment already? But you came back from New York not that long ago. Besides, aren't you living at the compound with everyone else?"

"I do," Wik nods. "The apartment is the place just for me when I need to do something I don't need anyone else to put their noses into."

"Wik, Wik, Wik," Chay chuckles. "What kind of dirty secrets are you hiding, hmm?"

"None," Wik replies flatly and enters an underground garage. Turning off the engine, he looks at Chay, "I am an open book in front of the people I want to be an open book."

Chay raises his eyebrow, "yeah? And the total of those people is two, and it's Kim and Non, right?"

Wik smirks, "well, look at that, bestie... you know me so well already. Now get out!"

They take an elevator to the eleventh floor, and a couple of minutes later, they enter Wik's apartment. Just like Chay has expected, the dominant colour is black. A lot lot of black. Black and grey walls. Black big L-shaped sofa, black coffee table, two black, very comfortable looking armchairs, black doors leading to the different parts of the apartment... the only splash of different than black are some little decorations here and there. And a book with a white cover on the coffee table, a red candle in the middle of the said coffee table, red and white pillows on the sofa... and abstract paintings hanging on the walls... not much, but at least it's something.

"Done admiring my secret place?" Wik raised his eyebrow.

"It's not that secret if I now know about it. Don't you think?"

"Don't remind me," Wik groans. "I can't believe I took you here before Non."

"I'm your dear friend... I should be allowed here anyway," Chay winks playfully at Wik.

"Don't wink at me again!" Wik shakes his head, mumbling something unintelligible under his breath and walks past Chay. "Follow me."

Chay laughs and follows Wik deeper into the apartment. He is trying to mess with Wik mostly because he needs to distract himself a little from what they are facing to stay sane. Knowing who had kidnapped Non and Kim doesn't make him worry any less. He has no idea what those fuckers can actually do. After all, they were in the friend group with that bastard Jin. He was basically like their leader, and he was far from being a good guy. Guys like that... Chay fears everything from them.
