a woman's scream was heard, and it made jihoon flinched at his spot.
with a shake of his head, jihoon begged in his mind. no! please, don't.
"eh? to bad, we caught someone else," the voice teased. "i'm going to kill this woman if you don't show yourself," the voice continued.
"please don't kill me," she pleaded."please spare me,"
"shut up or i'll kill you on the spot," he warned."if he shows up, then maybe, i'll let you go." Jiwon said, referring to the lavender-haired doctor
her cries filled the room, pleading for help, but she isn't a princess from a fairy tale, and there isn't a knight willing to save her.
jihoon's heart palpitations are so painful that his breath quickens along it.
he can't decide whether to stay hidden for his own safety and be a coward or go out and save the poor, helpless woman's life like a hypocrite.
"wait, i've decided that i'll just kill her later," the same voice continued."you see, i kind of want to kill her in front of you while we talk about life."
"by the way, when i told you that it wasn't me who planned this whole situation, it was only joke." chuckles jiwon.
"honestly, i ordered my men to free the prisoner in ward 13. want to know why?"
silence.
"it's all because i saw you, that's why i instructed them to break that ward; by the way, it wasn't just one but three patients, and i'm using those three pest to distract the cops so we can have a heart to heart talk," he says, laughing hysterically.
"i guess those bugs are on their way down now; well, you see? i instructed my men to give those morons guns earlier by the way-" he trailed off.
"what?" jiwon suddenly said."you mean, i'm being too kind with them?" he continued, as if talking to someone.
if it weren't for his current predicament, jihoon may conclude that the man is more of a psycho than his past patients.
"so, where did i stop again, hm?" said the same voice, as if it were the only form of noise the world had to offer.
"all right, eight!" and, as is customary, the sound of a door slamming becomes louder than before.
as the gentle trembling of his body increased even further, the lavender-haired doctor thought to himself. they're closer now.
"are you still playing hard to get?" asked jiwon in a lower voice compared to earlier. "answer me!"
his speech sounded like rumbling thunder in the middle of a storm, and then a loud gunshot came from the floor below.
something appears to be going on on the lower floors. perhaps it was one of the three patients?
"nine!"
"ten!"
"eleven!"
"twelve! still hiding? jihoon, it's pointless, you knew it better than i do."
beads of cold sweats were dripping from his brow and it didn't took it long for jihoon to noticed that they were only room apart now.
even though it wasn't particularly loud, jihoon could definitely hear jiwon say, "yunseo, break the door of that room, that 13th one ."
"oh, you're not there? perhaps you're inside?"
they're currently standing outside jihoon's office and he could tell.
he couldn't tell the exact number but he's certain they're were more than five.
the doctor managed to cover his mouth with a quivering palm while tightly closing both of his eyes, begging for them to be caught and rot in prison.
damn it.
"i'm pretty sure you're inside this room, doctor," a particular voice remarked,
"if you voluntarily step outside, maybe i'd change my mind and treat you with extra care than I had planned to."
"doctor, i'm waiting, and i'm sure you know how much i despise waiting, or maybe you don't?" the voice asked.
"hyung, i think we've gone too far; let's call it a day," a voice that appears to belong to a stranger says.
it was from someone jihoon didn't know at all.
"what makes you think like that, jiseong?" says jiwon.
"let's stop this right now," the guy called jiseong said."even mingyu, escaped and left us, he even told you before to not do this at all."
"jiseong's right, jiwon" added an unfamiliar voice. "and this wasn't the original plan at all, we know that jihoon didn't do anything."
"even you, yunseo?" jiwon asked, laughing as if he had just heard the funniest joke.
"it's so damn funny, was that supposed to be a joke, huh? for what? to lighten the mood?"
"jiwon hyung—" jiseong began, but was interrupted.
"shut up, jiseong, before i shoot this bullet in your brain."
"don't do this, jiwon. you know that jiseong is your own younger brother," stated yunseo.
"you, break open that door for me; if you don't do as i say, then you're dead," jiwon growled, voice harsher than usual.
"but—" yunseo paused for a moment.
"break it or i'll break your head instead?" those words throughout the place, making even the doctor tremble.
please. someone, anyone. i'm begging you, save me from this hell.
jihoon had completely forgotten how to breathe when he heard a sound of something breaking, followed by a quiet footsteps as he trembled in terror.
the footsteps became audible and clear as that person approach the table where he's hiding at, accompanied by shuffling sounds, until it came to a halt.
jihoon couldn't tell whether the person was still inside or had just decided to leave.
unfortunately, as if both the gods and goddesses had entirely forsaken the small doctor, a pair of frigid hands covered his mouth, preventing him from making any type of noise as he came face to face with a familiar face,
jihoon's pupils dilated as his heart skipped a beat, becoming more erratic.
the latter's eyes were still as dark as the night sky and as fierce as the gaze of a tiger eyeing his prey in the mountain, just as how jihoon remembered them to be.
those pair of eyes really looks as if it could stare right through a person's soul and bare existence.
jihoon was too stunned to move for a second until the newcomer's pinkish red lips were adorned with a familiar smirk.
"found you." he said.
