Not Who You Are || [JINHWI]

Four

The sun was just about half way up the skies as Jinyoung met who he needed to meet. The owner dragged him pretty much everywhere. He noticed the female staff was staring at his suitcase, he held on the handle tightly sharing a cold glare with the female. He didn't care if he's being rude now, he doesn't want this trip to be a failure. He just wanted to go back home quickly too.

"You must be..?"

"Jinyoung, Bae Jinyoung."

"That's right! Let's get something to eat yeah? You must be traveling for so long."

"N-No. It's alright-"

"Come on don't be like those kids skipping meals, I mean, look at you! You're this skinny man, lets get some things to eat."

The owner dragged Jinyoung to the cafe nearby without knowing there was people following behind. The owner made Jinyoung sit down at the vacant seat and called over a worker. That worker walked over and was taken back when he saw Jinyoung.

I finally get to stand in front of you once again. You haven't changed a bit according to your expression..

Jinyoung looked at the worker then looked back down at the table. He sweating for no reason or known any reason that he could have think of about the worker.

"Go get us 3 bottles of soju."

"Yes sir."

With that, the worker bowed lightly then left to go back and get drinks. The factory owner smiled secretly as Jinyoung stared out the window. The worker returned back placing two small cups with the 3 ordered soju.

"Hey, before you leave. You should give this guy some word of advice since he's new here."

"I- I'm new here too, I won't know much but sir."

"Come on. You can say whatever you like to say to this young man."

Jinyoung looked back at the worker to see him thinking hard of what he should say. Jinyoung just stared at the boy till the owner snapped him back to reality.

"Hey hey. You've been staring at this guy for so long what's the deal huh? Communicating silently now?"

"It's-It's not like that-"

"Oh! You guys must've met before, I heard the two of you came from Seoul."

"We never met, it's my first time seeing his face."

Jinyoung said smoothly as the worker just went along hiding away his sad smile.

"Sir, watch out for where you step in. It's like a minefield out there."

"Will do, thank you."

The worker smiled then walked away and headed back to his position. The owner smirked and poured in another strong alcohol instead when Jinyoung wasn't looking. The owner hid away the other alcohol and held up his drink which is filled with soju.

"Cheers?"

Jinyoung held up the glass and made contact with the other. He drank it while the owner just tossed it out and acted like he drank it. They continued to do it till Jinyoung passed out on the last drink. The factory owner smiled and looked out the window not worried that he passed out.

"He really isn't a heavy drinker, this was only the 3rd shot."

>>>

"Feeling better now sir?"

"Ah, yeah.. let's get this signed and I'm on my way."

Jinyoung went towards his bags and start to rummage through it. The owner looked at his trusted staff, both of them exchanged smiles. Jinyoung noticed the paper was gone, he turned to look at the owner. His steps were heavy as he walked over to him. With anger boiling in him, he grabbed the collar and slammed him against the table.

"You.. where did the paper go huh?"

"What paper?"

"Stop acting dumb!"

"I seriously don't know what you're talking about."

"The hell is my trip for here then?"

"Not my problem, probably because your father wants you to leave Seoul."

Pak

"Shut up! Once I find it, I won't let you loose if you were the cause of this."

Jinyoung let go of his collar and packed up his things and immediately walked out. As he got closer to the sandy path, he dropped his things and started to kick the sand. Just remembering what he need to do, there is no way he can call a cab. Standing out in the desert with no connection on his phone. He doesn't want to go back to the factory and call or he would beat everyone up. He grabbed his things and started to walk a bit more towards the path till the car came in front of him almost running him over.

"Hey boy, come in. We'll take you back."

Before Jinyoung could respond, people jumped out of the van and grabbed onto him. He struggled since he was still on hangover from the drinking. He was dragged in the van and lost everything on him. As the van drove off, the worker came out trying to catch him before the incident happen. Daehwi, he watched the van go before another car came in beside him. He looked at the driver as he was pulling down the window.

"Hey, we gonna need someone to cook for us. Get him."

Daehwi walked backward and was about to run back but he was tackled to the ground by a guy bigger than him. Daehwi tried screaming or at least notify people that could be nearby. It was useless since one of the guys wrapped a cloth over his mouth tightly. With it, the car drove off in the same direction of Jinyoung's. Daehwi was already empty handed, Jinyoung now became empty handed. Jinyoung's phone was crushed due to the van driving right over it as soon as the guy toss it out the window carelessly. Jinyoung sat there passing out slowly because of the bag covering his face and exhaustion. He really didn't think business trips would be this dangerous now a day. He had passed out as they were getting close to their destination.

**Jinyoung speaking with quotes, Daehwi no quote, this is only a dream**

Where did you run off to now..? I really need to see you in one piece, don't fail me Jinyoung-ssi!

"Just who are you.. why do you always say things like you know me before.."

Yah! Jinyoung!

"What.. what.."

Seems like we're seeing each other soon, stay alive alright? Would you promise me this?

"What promise when I won't see you, stop being foolish.."
