Mr. Popular [On-Going]

Chapter 56 - Second Round

Third Person's POV

Waking up and finally starting to come back to her senses, Jihyun felt her head still slightly spinning. She was unable to recall whatever happened before she passed out.

She tried to trace back, remembering the party, leaving and heading to the cars and having to go back because she forgot something.

And when it hit her what really happened, her eyes went wide as she raised her head, a huge wave of fear washing over her.

She tried to move but it was no use as a thick and long roped has her tied from head to toe. Along with that she realized that she was stuck in a car.

"Damn it," Jihyun curses under her breath which was followed by a scream when the car door suddenly opened.

A long but eerie chuckle was all she heard for it was dark. Until the lights inside the vehicle opened and revealed who it was staring at her from the outside of the open car.

Beads of sweat, cold sweat, ran down Jihyun's forehead as she tried to stabilize her breathing.

"Long time no see, Jeon," the man mused, laughing darkly right after which made shivers run down Jihyun's spine.

But that was not enough to make the latter falter.

"Let me go, Youngjae, this is nonsense," Jihyun growled back, an evident scowl on her slightly pale face.

The guy scowled back, but his smirk still on his face. "Nonsense? My revenge is not nonsense, Jihyun," Youngjae stated with force, leaning in towards the car which made Jihyun recoil. "I may have failed once but that will never happen again. Nothing is going to stop me now."

"Whatever your reason for revenge is..." Jihyun spoke out when Youngjae started to lean back. "...It is not Chanyeol's fault."

The latter glared at Jihyun, his eyes burning with fury as his smirk slowly faded which was replaced by pursed lips.

His hands clenched obviously and his jaw tightened as well. "You know nothing about this, Jeon. So don't try to speak about whatever my reason is or your friends will never see you alive," Youngjae warned thought gritted teeth then slammed the door of the car shut.

Jihyun swallowed hard as she tried to slip put of the rope that restricted further movements, but stopped when the door opened once more, letting out a loud gasp.

"You might not want to move to much. Unless you want this car to fall into the cliff."

Jihyun's eyes widened upon what she heard and Youngjae only laughed, shutting the door once more.

Baekyun sighed to himself upon reaching the entrance. Jihyun was taking a bit too long.

The others already left ahead of them to make things quicker.

He was getting impatient but not too much. Because something else is taking over.

There's this feeling in his gut that he has to get out of his car and go to the girl.

Baekhyun's thoughts got interrupted as his phone started ringing. He reached out for his phone and answered the call without looking.

"Hello??"

"Hyung, are you and Jihyun on the way already?"

Baekhyun sighed. "No, Chanyeol, she is not out yet."

"What? What could be taking her so long??"

"I don't know.."

"Why don't you check up on her?"
