"How do you know that I don't love you? How can you know what I feel if I haven't told you anything? Stick to your work and don't ask more questions... but stay here with me, got it?"
She's ordinary and the only one she's running from is her dark pa...
You are at home trying to contact Yanan, but it's impossible since he isn't picking up. Calling the members isn't an option either, they seem to know what's going on, but they are just telling you that he was doing other things. Your doubts from yesterday now look like they are becoming real, something's up with Yanan, and you hate not knowing what it is.
A while ago, you were talking with Hongseok, and you asked him about Yanan. He wasn't nervous when both of you spoke, but you can't say that the tone he had was the usual. And the last thing he sent was a text.
- "You should talk with your brother; he might answer your questions." – Hongseok.
-Jun! – You shouted his name as soon as you heard a car parking in front of your house.
You got downstairs in a hurry and walked to the entrance, and as soon as you got to the hallway, Jun noticed you are standing there.
-Jun, we need to talk. – You said while he walked towards the living room.
-About? – He asked while sitting down on the couch.
-About Yanan. He isn't picking up the phone, he doesn't see my messages, and I'm getting worried. – You explained. -Jun, and if something serious happened to him? – You questioned.
-Nothing serious happened to him; he is alright. – Jun assured while looking away from you.
-Why do you know? Did he tell you something? – You asked.
-He went to China for some time, Yanan just told me he wanted to be alone and see his family. – Jun told you.
-Which part? Is he okay? Why didn't he say something? – You questioned overly.
Jun got towards you and started to hold you tight, making you feel more concerned about Yanan.
-He'll be back; he only needs time. – Jun said before stepping away from you, he released a faded smile and then got out of the living room.
-You smell like alcohol, by the way. – You shouted, still concerned.
-I know, I just drank a bit. – Jun yelled back, sounding like he doesn't care at all.
I need answers.
You walked upstairs again and went all the way to your room, you opened up your closet and took your black jacket out, and then you got to the entrance with the only idea of going with the President and question him what's going on. But before going out, you heard Jun's footsteps; you went back and looked at him discreetly, and saw him sitting down on the stairs while looking quite frustrated. And there's when you noticed that he's just as concerned as you are.
What did you do, brother?
DAY 52.
-Yanan's POV-
The place is in total silence, I can hear Gale's voice through the distance, and I can clearly understand what he's talking about; money laundering and drug sell, nothing I wouldn't expect. On the other hand, I already left another microchip inside the cell, and luckily, I can drop more around the place.
I haven't seen Jisoo today, but yesterday night he came to visit me, and he scolded me for challenging Gale, even though I didn't think of it that way. As a plus, I can say that he told me something he forgot to mention when we were inside the car, and that was the principal objective of taking out important information is for National Security. Nowadays, Gale's people can be everywhere, and according to Jisoo, that means more dirty businesses.
-Morning, morning, sunshine! – Gale said while opening the door. -Oh, sorry, I should say, "Morning, Prince." – He chuckled while imitating a girly voice.
-I know I shouldn't ask why you know that nickname, but I'm curious. – I spoke, trying to contain myself.
-Well, I'm not a moron, so I needed to watch over you since the first time you protected Jiao, and I almost know everything about you. – He spoke.
-Not everything, that's for sure. – I smirked.
-Well, I identify a lot of you, and that's good enough for me; after all, now you are here with me, and that gives me an advantage. – Gale spoke. -I can see your reactions, and I can threaten you with anything I want. – He challenged.
-Go ahead. You know that all my people are well protected. – I stated.
-Yes, I know, but some of them will do anything for you. – He chuckled.
-Why do you say that? I already alert them all. – I assured.
-Not all, or did you tell Jiao you were behind me? – He asked, making me look away from him immediately. -Yeah, you didn't do it because you know that she would've been upset. – Gale spoke.
-If you want her, only call her. She'll come if she knows I'm here. – I stated.
-No, that would be so easy. – Gale said. -I want to see you suffer and make her realize that the only man in her life can only be me. – He smirked.
-You wish she could love you as she does love me. – I chuckled.
-Oh, Yanan, she'll learn, and you too. – He said while looking at me seriously, he took me by my shirt and held my hair aggressively. -You'll learn to respect me and accept devastation once Jiao stays with me. – Gale whispered near my ear.
Without hesitation, I pushed him away from me and started to hit him. Shortly, his guards came inside and kicked me off him. They began to beat me off as I tried to hit them back as much as I could.
-Stop fighting, Yanan. – Gale laughed. -You aren't enough here. – He said before his guards got away from me, I cleaned up the little amount of blood that came out from my nose and looked at him sternly.
-I'm not afraid of you! – I shouted.
-You'll be, now, rest because later on, I'll need you as my punching bag. – He smirked. -You are resistant; you stayed up even though these two got over you. Great. – Gale said before going out of the room.
As soon as they left, I took a deep breath before reloading my back against the wall. I tried to breathe even though it hurt a bit, and then I just sat down while looking up to the ceiling. Then, I remembered that I brought a picture of Jiao with me, so I took it out and started to look at it.
-If he calls you and tells you to come, please don't. Because if you get here, I'll have a reason to be afraid. – I said while looking at her picture.
-Stay where you are, don't come for me. I promise I'll be alright, and I'll resist. But don't come, babe, don't. – I sighed before a tear fell down my cheek.
