CHAPTER 30 SOHEE
i saw hyejin and rose sitting beside each other, on their knees with a soggy duck tape on their lips, wet because of their breathing. they had leashed around both their neck and wrist, to prevent them from escaping it was wrapped around a pole behind them, secured and tight. they had blood dripping down their forehead, small bruises all over their body. hyejin painfully had small cuts everywhere her skin, probably the cause of the blood stains in the kitchen that night. they shook their head, signaling me not to enter but i was too busy to notice that.
going in there, along with chanyeol behind me was a risk. it was a risk!
"c-chanyeol, sohee don't!" mark screamed.
"hyejin!" i exclaimed with tears streaming down my cheek. once i stepped forward the large and spaced room, someone grabbed my wrist, pulling me close as they folded their arm around my neck, and placed a gun on temple. the guy immediately dragged me near hyejin and rose, all they could do was try to scream off the duck tape.
four strong guards held chanyeol back, pushing him down the rough floor and aggressively kicked him until he couldn't move. the others, taeyong, mark and lisa entered as well, worried for the both of us, chanyeol and me but also for hyejin and rose. all the guards dragged chanyeol who lost his energy near me and the guy, threatening the others too by placing a gun on his head.
chanyeol stood, almost hanging while the guards tried keep him up, his face bloody and bruised.
i licked my lips and breathed heavily, feeling the cold silver gun pressing on my skin, gave me goosebumps and this, here am i again, at that position like before... instead of a knife, with a gun and more intense... i always had to ruin the plan, ruin everything.
"o-okay let's chill out, everyone here." mark stuttered, seeing me in this position made him anxious as always, scared and frightened. he gestured everyone to calm down with both of his hands. "eunhan...." mark spoke, eyeing the guy who held me.
eunhan, his face was so familiar. his face really was, it was like i've seen him back in ulsan. right, right, it was him. it was the guy who attacked me that one night, that night when i went to 127, when mark saved me.
"why are you doing this?" jungkook asked, stepping forward, automatically made the guards near chanyeol point their guns. jungkook bit his lips, stepping back and stayed. "we've never done anything to you."
"i know.." eunhan bit his lips, tightening his grip on the gun he placed on my temple. "i.. i didn't sign up for this, l-leehyun forced me." he confessed making lisa furrow his eyebrows. "then why did you agree?"
"because if i didn't participate," he looked around. "he told me he'll kill my family." he whispered, even though he was one of the enemies you could see the fear inside his poor eyes.
"well that wasn't the part of the plan eunhan." someone spoke nonchalantly. his voice was like nothing i've ever heard before. it sounded like a drum, but deeper, like a tuba, but deeper. it was smooth, like butter, but it could be as rocky as rocky road ice cream. his tone was as deep as the sun at midnight. he came in the large room from a door behind us, stood right beside eunhan who was shaking in fear.
"jeong leehyun." mark gritted his teeth.
it was leehyun. it was jeong leehyun who stood near me with a nasty smirk, that monster. looking at him made my eyes dilate. he seemed so familiar with that scar under his emerald flickering eyes. he had his black messy hair tangled, dirty and wet from his sweat. his body was pretty strong, pretty muscled but not too much.
leehyun smiled warmly, evilly at mark and gestured eunhan, tilting his head as eunhan obliged what he asked for. he let go of me and leehyun took his place, wrapping his arm around my neck as i begun to breathe less. eunhan went to hyejin and rose, pointing a gun to one of them.
leehyun's forearm begun to press deeper on my neck, i couldn't scream or fight back because... who knew what he could've done when i did, with a gun on my head? all i could do for now was grab his arm tightly, trying to breathe.
"leehyun...." mark scowled, malice filled his black eyes. "let her go..." he paused. "let everyone go." he demanded brusquely.
leehyun rolled his eyes, smiling. "why? why would i? saying that wouldn't help mark, your words don't scare me." leehyun responded. "you don't scare me leehyun you psychopath." mark's words made leehyun pause, his blood started boiling after hearing the nickname mark gave him.
"i know i don't scare you!" leehyun screamed, his saliva spitting out. "but this, this does!" his holler reverberated in my ears like a clap of thunder, such was his rage. he tucked his gun on his waist, pulling out a knife as he let the metal blade cut my thigh, blood dripped down as tears brimmed out of my eyes, pain. i groaned loudly almost falling apart but leehyun was strong enough to lift me up. leehyun threw the knife on the floor and placed the gun on its position again, on my head.
mark seeing this made him infuriated and worried, he dilated his eyes and stepped forward but when he did that, the guards that abundance chanyeol would point the gun on him, while leehyun would threaten him by pressing the gun deeper down my temple, along with his forearm around my neck.
leehyun smirked. "you know i pondered about kidnapping sohee, but you never left her side, so instead i took hyejin. it seems like hyejin is a big part of your life yeah?"
"leehyun, why are you doing this?" jungkook asked tensed, tensed for seeing me and chanyeol troubled, same with the girls behind us who sat, crying. "w-why..." chanyeol questioned weakly, kneeled down the floor while the guards pulled his cloth up, to prevent him from touching the floor.
"what did we ever do to you? what do you want? if you want money i assure you, you'll get them, i don't care how many." mark vowed, plead for leehyun to stop whatever he was doing. everyone was confused, it seemed like even chanyeol, jungkook and mark were confused. why was he doing this?
"what i want..." leehyun spoke, his voice shaking. "what i want back is gone, she's gone!" leehyun screamed, tears flowing down his eyes. "she's gone... because of you!" leehyun pointed at mark with the gun. "you've done that to her!"
