Cloaked Heart | Yeonbin

Chapter Thirty-Five

Yeonjun jumped into the black sleek car that was waiting outside of the BigHit building, his heart beat pacing faster and faster whilst his body was trembling with nerves and anxiety. He started to realize that Jaehyuk wasn't taking him to see Soobin when his eyes landed on another unfamiliar man wearing an all black business attire but didn't dare utter a word as he saw the look that Jaehyuk was throwing him. 

"You must be Yeonjun," the man in black purred, staring at the younger boy through the rearview mirror with an extreme amount of lust that it sent shivers down his spine.

Afraid that his voice wouldn't cooperate, he instead nodded whilst playing with his fingers. 

"You can call me Mr Jaejin," he slowly smiled, repeatedly tapping his fingers against the steering wheel.

"Mr Jaejin, where are we going? I-I don't understand why only me," Yeonjun stammered as he looked around at the unfamiliar shops and houses that filled the road.

Mr Jaejin's smile faltered as instead he let out a cry of laughter before turning to side eye Jaehyuk who was averting his gaze by staring out the window. "You haven't told the boy yet have you?"

"Told me what? What? Manager-nim? Jaehyuk hyung?" Yeonjun persisted, tears starting to fill his eyes as he realized that they were at their destination. They pulled up into a shady looking area causing Yeonjun to shrink into his seat with fear.

"Just..Just go with him Yeonjun-ah," Jaehyuk sighed, guilt seeping through his body as he ran a hand through his hair.

"G-Go wh-where? To do what?" Yeonjun hoarsely asked, staring back and forth between his manager and the strange man who was watching him with amusement.

"I'm just going to ask you a few questions Yeonjun. If you could follow me out of the car," Mr Jaejin said, turning the running car engine off and opening the car door before stepping out.

Yeonjun gave one last lingering look at Jaehyuk who refused to stare at him. His vision was blurry with tears. "Hyung-"

"For fucks sake Yeonjun just go with the man!" Jaehyuk snapped, slamming his hands down on the dashboard causing the younger boy to flinch back in fear before hurrying out of the car and slamming the door shut. 

Mr Jaejin was leaning against the car hood, a cigarette in hand as he inhaled the smoke before puffing it out into the air. He nodded over to the run down house that they were parked near. "Let's go into my house to talk."

Yeonjun was afraid to ask what just exactly they were going to talk about as he timidly followed behind Mr Jaejin who climbed up the few steps to his house before taking out his keys and unlocking the front door. Once the door was open, he stepped in first and pushed the door open wider so Yeonjun could come in.

Yeonjun slightly hesitated as he entered the small house, it didn't look as messy in the inside as it did from the outside but it was still an unpleasant house setting. Mr Jaejin shut the front door before zooming past Yeonjun and into the living room. 

"Take a seat," Mr Jaejin calmly said, plopping onto the arm chair.

"Who are you and why did my manager bring me here?" Yeonjun questioned, slowly sinking into the sofa with his hands in his lap.

Mr Jaejin narrowed his eyes at the younger boy, a peculiar expression on his wrinkled face. "He really didn't tell you?"

Yeonjun's eyes were wide as he shook his head in response, waiting for the man to finally put the pieces together and explain what was going on.

"I'm a private detector and I was hired by your manager Jaehyuk to hunt down a saesang fan that assaulted another member of your group I'm presuming is Soobin?" Mr Jaejin explained as it all started to make sense in Yeonjun's puzzled brain.

"Private..detector?" Yeonjun slowly repeated, blinking at the man.

"That's about right," Mr Jaejin grinned, leaning back into the chair. "Now I'm going to need you to tell me everything that happened that day in detail."

Beomgyu, Taehyun and Huening Kai sat in silence in the meeting room not even sure of what they were waiting for. 

Huening Kai's head was bowed as tears streamed down his face, he let out a little sniffle causing Taehyun to stare at him with sadness.

"I know how much you wanted to see Soobin hyung today. I'm sorry for getting mad and blaming you and Yeonjun," Taehyun apologized, fiddling with his fingers.

Huening Kai shook his head, wiping his tears away with the back of his hand before he lifted his head up to meet Taehyun's guilty eyes. "It's okay hyung."

Beomgyu chewed on his bottom lip, a mischievous look playing on his face. "Maybe we can still see him."

Taehyun furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. "But Yeonjun and manager-nim are already visiting Soobin. You heard hyung he told us to stay put. If we go there, it'll cause problems."

"We have a right to see Soobin no matter what. So we're going. All the other staff are having their break so they wouldn't notice if we disappeared," Beomgyu shrugged, standing up from his chair.

Huening Kai hesitated, a bad feeling holding him back as he gazed up at Beomgyu who was expectantly waiting for the pair to follow him. "Hyung, are you sure this is a good idea?"

"Do you want to see Soobin hyung or not?" Beomgyu impatiently said, raising an eyebrow at the both of them. "For all we know something bad could have happened to him and we would be the ones finding out late. So, are you coming or not?"

"I'm coming," Huening Kai quietly muttered, getting up from his seat and pulling the hem of his shirt down. 

Taehyun let out a deep sigh before also standing up and following after the pair out of the room and into the empty hallway. 

He could hear the staff's laughter and a wave of guilt washed over him. Taehyun wasn't the type of person to be scolded or to get in trouble but he had a feeling that today was going to be his first time.

"Come on," Beomgyu whispered, leading the way out of the building.

The crisp cool air hitting Taehyun as he inhaled the fresh air. "How are we gonna get there without a ride? We can't get on public transport because we're idols, remember?" 

"Let's call an uber then," Huening Kai suggested, pulling out his phone out of his pocket.

"Hm, good idea," Beomgyu agreed, nodding before shuffling over to Huening Kai to watch over his shoulder.

Taehyun rolled his eyes, running his hands down his arm to create warmth. He didn't think it would get this cold otherwise he would have brought a jacket.

Beomgyu eyed him before tugging off his denim jacket and wrapping it around Taehyun's shoulders. "Here. Feel warmer?"

Taehyun sheepishly smiled as his cheeks flushed red. "Thanks, hyung."

Huening Kai raised an eyebrow at the heart-fluttering action but chose not to say anything as he shoved his phone back into his pocket. "The uber should be here in a few minutes or so."

"What do we do now?" Taehyun asked, looking around at the half-empty streets.

"We wait," Beomgyu sighed, plopping down onto the edge of the sidewalk.

AN:

I have so much ideas for this book so I'm not really sure when I want it to end because I do want to write down my ideas so be prepared for the excessive amount of chapters ;)

The members are going to be very confused when they find out that Jaehyuk never took Yeonjun to the hospital and that's when things are going to become very problematic. 

What do you guys think about Jaehyuk hiring a private detector to find Sunwoo? Do you have any ideas why he didn't just go to the police?

Anyways hopefully you guys enjoyed the chapter! Thank you so much for reading! <3
