Heartless [On Hold]

Unfamiliar Surroundings

I wake up when cool water splashes on my face.

"Mmm."

My eyes open to see the handsome stranger whose name was apparently Sir Mark , standing right above me.

I felt my whole body aching due to the uncomfortable position I was in.

My hands were tied behind my back and my whole body was tied to a chair.

The room was darkly lit and looked like the basement of some house.

It took me a minute to remember how I had ended up here.

"How was your long sleep, sleeping beauty?", he asked mockingly.

My cheeks coloured lightly at his nickname.

"Can I please go home?", I asked him.

"No.", he replied firmly.

"But my little brother Jisung will be worried. I was supposed to reach long back. Please.... I haven't done anything wrong to you. I don't even know you. Please let me go.", I begged almost crying.

"Listen here, boy. I told no and that's final. I'm still not sure if you are a spy or not. Not that you look like one but you were there when I was discussing highly confidential matters with my peers.", he said looking straight into my eyes.

"But....", I started.

"NO BUTS.", his voice rang out and I flinched.

"What's you name?"

"Do..ng..hyu..ck", I stuttered out.

"Okay. Donghyuck. You will be staying here until my right hand man Jeno finds out more information about the spy sent by Na Jaemin."

I nodded. There's nothing I could do about it.

"And if I ever come to know that you are a secret spy, I will make sure to finish you off with my own hands." His voice was ice cold.

I gulped.

He left the room and I released a deep breath which I didn't know I was holding onto.

My life was pretty much normal until yesterday. I studied at SM High along with my little brother Jisungie. I was a loner since people found me weird.

I'd better not talk about my family. After my lovely mom died, my life has been plain horrible.

I don't know what happened to my father after her death. He was a completely different person now.

He smokes, drinks and sleeps around with women. My heart aches knowing that.

The worst part is that if he comes home drunk then I know that I will be covered with bruises which I'd have to hide with makeup the next day.

I see to it that poor Jisungie doesn't get hurt. He is too pure and innocent and doesn't deserve all the pain.

Everyday was a silent prayer I sent to god where I asked him to give me and Jisungie a happy life.

But I know that it won't happen.

Ever.

And now this gangster has taken me hostage.

I don't even know how I manage to attract trouble all the time.

I really hope Jisungie remains safe.

As I sat absorbed in my thoughts, someone came in.

It turned out to be a really cute faced guy with a wide smile on his face. I didn't know gangsters could be this cute.

"Annyeong. I'm Chenle. I've brought you some food", he said in a high pitched voice.

"Annyeong. I'm Donghyuck.", I said smiling.

"Aww. You are so cute. No wonder Mark hyung. Shit. Sir Mark, decided to keep you.", he said.

A faint blush painted my cheeks.

"I'm not that cute.", I protested.

"Really hyung? Anyways , Sir Mark told you to eat kimchi and even asked you to tell me your address. I'm supposed to take care of your little brother while you are here."

"But Jisungie will get scared. He doesn't know you. "

"That's okay. I'm VERY ADORABLE." ,Chenle said ,following a dolphin laugh.

"I can trust you right?"

"Ne. Hyung. I promise to take care of your brother really well. Jisungie will be safe in my hands.", Chenle promised me.

I told him my home address. I hope Jisungie is not very worried about me.

Chenle untied my hands.

"Enjoy your meal!"

I thanked him for the food and started eating the kimchi. Surprisingly it was very tasty.

Chenle bid me goodbye.

"By the way, just be careful with Sir Mark. He is a renowned gangster. His enemies know how heartless he can be.", he said seriously.

I nodded. Hopefully he won't hate me. And will let me go as soon as possible.
