[❀] ch. 1

"two shots of vodka, please!"

"coming right up!" taehyung replies, turning around to grab two shot glasses - pretending not to notice the stares directed towards his backside as he moves around swiftly, pouring the drinks and sliding them across the bar towards the man who had requested them.

taehyung tries his best not to grimace as the man looks over at him with a crooked smile, exposing his yellow teeth and motions with his hand for taehyung to approach him.

taehyung slowly makes his way towards the man, and smiles "yes? how may i help you?" he asks, and the man smirks at him cockily.

"what time do you get off? how about you join me back at my hotel room, huh?" he asks, and the man must've noticed the disgusted look on taehyung's face, because he swiftly takes out a couple of hundred dollar notes and slides them towards him. taehyung looks at him with a scowl;

"i'm not a fucking whore, go find some prostitute who'd be willing to sleep with a crusty old fucker like you at a strip club." taehyung spits at him, throwing the bills in his face and turning away to go and wait some tables, completely forgetting about the old man, who was staring at him darkly.

it was currently three a.m. and taehyung had just finished work. he let out a yawn as he slowly walked through the streets of the city on the way back home to his shabby apartment; absolutely exhausted.

taehyung was a college student, majoring in art. but since college was so expensive, and he didn't come from the richest of families, taehyung had to work until the middle of the night along with attending all of his classes. it was exhausting, but taehyung was just glad to be able to follow his dreams. but because of his small amount of money, taehyung lived in a not-so-great area, in a small, shabby apartment.

the area taehyung lived in was full of clubs and bars, great for partying, but not so great for living. the streets were full of drunks and drug-addicts.

but so far, taehyung had been managing just fine.

he was only about five minutes away from his apartment, when suddenly he paused.

taehyung could've swore he felt someone's eyes on him. but no one was around at this hour.

he quickly flips around, looking around wildly to make sure that no one was around. and when taehyung confirms that no one is there, he continues to make his way home.

that is, until he hears a shuffle from behind him.

he quickly flips around, and is suddenly greeted by the sight of the old creep from the bar smirking at him. taehyung feels a shiver go down his spine as he takes off running, trying to get away.

taehyung can hear the mans footsteps advancing towards him and he makes a sudden decision to turn and run into a web of alleyway's. taehyung didn't want the man to know where he lived, and he just so happened to know these alley's like the back of his hand. he quickly sped through them, making random turns and trying his best to lose the man.

taehyung continued running through the spider web of alley's for a good ten minutes, just to make sure he was safe.

but just as he was making his last turn into an alley, planning to stop at the end of it and catch his breath. he was stopped in his tracks at the sight before him.

there, in the alleyway stood - and laid - four men. three of which were standing menacingly above another man, that was laying on the floor cowering in fear.

taehyung was about to interrupt, and help the poor guy out, until he saw that each of the men were armed with guns.

he stood there in shock, staring at the man on the floor, praying that no one would notice him. because despite wanting to help; taehyung did not want to end up like the man currently on the ground. he attempted to watch silently, and slowly pulled out his phone to dial for the police.

taehyung had managed to unlock his phone, when he suddenly heard panicked cries.

"n-no! noo! please don't. i'm b-begging! you there-"

taehyung's eyes widen as the man screams to him, moving to run away.

"-please help me!" he screams, and as taehyung sees the men turn to look at him, he turns around and bolts back through the alleyways.

taehyung was hoping that he would manage to get away, when he suddenly felt someone jump atop of him, ultimately pushing him down onto the ground.

taehyung tries to get out of the man's grip, but it was like iron, leaving taehyung stuck as he tried to wriggle away.

"please let me go! i swear i won't tell anyone." taehyung bluffs, wanting to be let go of. in the end he would still call the police. he didn't want anyone to get away with murder. and he knew what they looked like, he had made sure to memorise their faces. sketching them out would be a piece of cake.

but they didn't need to know that.

"no can do. sorry dude, now we get to see what boss'll do to you." the man grins down at taehyung.

taehyung makes an attempt to wriggle out of his grip, but it doesn't work and he's inevitably dragged back towards the men.
