NINETEEN

two days later
THIRD PERSON

The last bell of the day finally ringed and everyone started to clean their table, getting ready to leave the school. Soyeons desk has been empty for these two days, no texts or calls from her. Lucas visit her house yesterday but no one has a clue on where she could possibly be.

Doyoung's phone vibrated inside his pocket and he took it out. An unknown number was calling him. He bring the phone towards his ear after answering it.

"I guess she isn't that important to you."The familiar voice said through his phone. His body froze as he stopped zipping his bag halfway. "Where is she?"Doyoung asked, straight to the point. A chuckle was heard at the other side of his phone and the person speaks again. "She doesn't whine a lot, she obeys me too. I understand why you keep her around."He continued through the phone.

Doyoung's fist clenched up and the classroom started to clear out. "Tell me where she is. She doesn't have any business with you."Doyoung said, trying to keep his calm. He knew very well if he show any sign of anger, it will turn unpleasant.

"Find me. I'm sure Ten can do that for you."The person said before hanging up the phone. Doyoung clenched his jaw before slinging his backpack on one of his shoulder. He immediately sent a text to the two of his friends before walking towards the parking lot.

"Doyoung."A voice said behind him. He stopped and turned around to see Lucas walking towards him. "Do you have any idea where Soyeon is? I can't get ahold of her these past two days."Lucas said and Doyoung's stomach dropped.

Doyoung doesn't know what to tell him. He was debating between the truth or making up a stupid lie. Lucas seems like the type that would go rouge if he ever went mad.

"Doyoung? You're out of it today."Lucas said and Doyoung cleared his throat looking away. "We should talk about this somewhere."Doyoung said, walking ahead and Lucas furrowed his eyebrows. "No, talk about it here."Lucas said, making Doyoung stopped on his spot. Doyoung took a deep breath before turning around to face Lucas.

"It's complicated. I did something and somehow she got dragged into it."Doyoung said. Lucas' face turns cold, anger started to rise inside him as he started to clenched is fist. "Got dragged into what? What did you do?"Lucas asked, taking a step closer towards Doyoung.

"My mess. I did bad—"

Doyoung's word was cut off mid sentence as a punch landed on his jaw from Lucas. Lucas groans at the pain on his knuckle before grabbing Doyoung by his collar. "Lucas, calm down."Doyoung said, clenching his jaw in pain, he could feel the cut on his lip. Lucas land another punch on his face again before yelling, "She got dragged into your mess? Your mess?"

Doyoung grunts before trying to let go of Lucas. Lucas pushed him back, letting go of him. Doyoung brought his hand towards his mouth to wipe the blood from his busted lip. He wants to land a hit on Lucas too, but deep down, he knows he deserves the hits. "I know something is off about you. She seem paranoid since you started to hang around."Lucas said and Doyoung clenched his jaw.

"I'll find her. We'll find her today."Doyoung said and Lucas looked at him. "Why don't you call the police?"Lucas asked. "It's too long and complicated. Who knows how she'll be when the police finds her. Besides, I can't really deal with police."Doyoung explained and Lucas sighed harshly.

"How are you gonna find her?"Lucas asked and Doyoung looked around, bringing his hand towards his mouth, wiping the blood away. "Follow me. Stay behind my car."Doyoung said before walking inside his car. Lucas walk towards his car, turning the engine on.

The two get out of their car and Lucas followed behind Doyoung. Lucas held his throbbing fist on his hand as they walked inside the building. Lucas looks around and follow Doyoung upstairs. It was a busy building, people walking in and out of the rooms, carrying wooden boxes. Sounds of fingers hitting the keyboard was heard once they entered a room and Lucas take a look around the dim room. "Your knuckles."Doyoung said, throwing Lucas an ice pack and Lucas grabbed it with one hand, placing it on his knuckles.

"Do we have any lead?"Doyoung asked, walking towards the person behind the computer and Lucas followed behind him. Lucas stopped on his track when his eyes landed on the person behind the screen. "You're on this too?"Lucas asked. "Hey, Lucas."Ten said and Lucas looked away. "So I'm guessing Jaehyun is in this too."Lucas said, scoffing.

"I'm sorry. No hard feelings?"Ten said glancing at him and Lucas rolled his eyes. The door opened and Jaehyun walked in, his breath was heavy and Lucas doesn't even bother to greet him anymore. "Her phone hasn't been turned on since two days ago. Last location is near her house."Ten explained.

"Try this."Doyoung said, taking his phone out of his pocket. Ten moved his fingers on the keyboard before getting the location. "Pyeongtaek-Dangjin."Ten said as the red circle flicks on and off in the screen. "Pyeongtaek-Dangjin?"Lucas asked. "Where we transfer most of our package. It's a port."Jaehyun said, walking towards where everyone is. "Don't tell me this 'package' is a human."Lucas muttered and Ten shrugged. "10 points for you."Ten said before getting smacked in the back of his head by both Doyoung and Jaehyun. Ten cursed at the two before rubbing his head. Both Doyoung and Jaehyun not sparing a glance towards him.

"Are you telling me she's gonna get ship off somewhere?"Lucas immediately asked. "No,"Doyoung answered. "This man, Jackson, he doesn't do his business there. He's luring us out there. He wants us to find him there."Doyoung explained.

"We need to go, it's a bit far."Jaehyun said walking towards the metal table in the room to grab his gun. "Can you shoot?"Doyoung asked Lucas as he walked towards Jaehyun. "No."Lucas answered. "Fight?"Jaehyun asked, glancing at him and Lucas shook his head. "You should just stay here."Ten said standing up from the chair and walking towards where the two are. "No, I want to go."Lucas said and Doyoung walk towards him, giving him a gun. "The safety is on. Use both of your hand and turn the safety off when you use it."Doyoung explained to Lucas. "The gun's loaded. Don't use this unless you're in a danger and can't use your fists. You're staying inside the car."Doyoung said as everyone get ready and Lucas took the gun into his hand, looking at it and placing the ice pack down. The three was circled around the table with a map laying flat on it while Lucas was a bit far from where they rest are.

"Park the car near the port. Just make sure Lucas isn't seen."Jaehyun said. "He's probably gonna be around here, there's an underground room down there. It's not used often but it's fuctional."Doyoung said pointing to one of the spot on the map. "We're not bringing any men?"Ten asked. "No, less people the better."Doyoung said. "Grab her and took her away the first thing he hand her back, one of you bring her back to Lucas and stay with the two of them."Doyoung said.

"What if Jackson did bring his men?"Ten asked, looking towards Doyoung. "Even if he did, he'll bring less than a dozen. We can work with that."Jaehyun said, glancing up and Ten nod. "Okay, let's go."Doyoung said and the three of them walked towards the door. Lucas following close behind. "Whatever you see or hear, do not leave the car."Doyoung warned towards Lucas and he nod. "Alright, let's go."Doyoung said the four of them left the building, walking inside the car. Jaehyun gets behind the wheel and immediately drove away as Ten direct Jaehyun towards the location. Both Lucas and Doyoung were at the backseat, hoping that nothing bad has happened to Soyeon.
