A Hunter's Diary

6

- Calm down, Hyuk, calm down… - Hyuk repeated to himself pressing his temples as he walked in circles trying to figure out Hyun Chul whereabouts. He stopped in his tracks and the image of the old building flashed behind his eyes. He took out his phone and dialed….

He ran as fast as he could, pushed his legs to the limits but it wasn’t time to think about it. He reached the gate and noticed it was a bit open and no one was around.

- Park Hyun Chul! – Hyuk screamed his lungs out – I am here! get out!

Footsteps started to be hear inside the storage, Hyuk tried to adjust his sight to the darkness covering the room but it was useless.

- Come in… - hyun chul said.

Hyuk obeyed and stepped into the building, once inside a dim light in the bottom corner of the huge room got his attention but something else put his senses in alarm. There were people hiding in the dark, at least 5 men he calculated, but none of them tried to attack him, like they were waiting for a signal. He started to walk to the poorly illuminated side Hyun Chul was at; sitting in an old and worn out couch.

- well, well… look what we have here – he scoffed – looks like even our little “hunter” has some feelings.

Hyuk recognized immediately, the same man he put in prison months ago.

- I got to admit I’m impressed by your plan… really creative – Hyuk sarcastically said as he stopped right in front of his enemy - …capturing someone precious to me and then making her a hostage…

The old man chuckled and it soon became a big laugh…

- A hostage?... you lack imagination little hunter – he teased. One of the men came out of the shadows and stood next to Hyun Chul. Hyuk thought he had seen them somewhere before until he snapped… he was with the guys who attacked Anne when he found her near the river – of course not, she is right here by her own foot.

- What? – hyuk said confused.

He had already made a conclusion but he tried to push it away as possible. He convinced himself it was wrong. But it wasn’t.

- Come out, Anne – he gestured with his right hand and the petite girl came to sight out of the shadows. She looked scared and ashamed; Hyuk’s body stiffed as he noticed the red bruise appearing in her cheek. He tried really hard to suppress the rage igniting inside him.

Anne stood next to the perturbed man who placed a hand on her waist, she cringed at the contact. Hyuk felt like being stabbed right through his chest that started to move up and down rapidly.

His eyes met hers and she averted her gaze away.

- What is this about? – Hyuk raised an eyebrow, faking to not care about it.

- Everything was planned from the beginning – he explained with a laugh – being attacked and then getting close to you. Oh! Don’t tell me you really fell for her…

Hyuk saw Anne trying to move and say something for an instant but she closed her mouth again and stepped back.

Hyun Chul snapped his fingers and the men started to attack Hyuk at the same time, he defended himself dodging their fist and kicks with swift movements, even hitting and knocking some to the ground but it didn’t last long as what he had thought were 5 men, turned out to be 10.

He punched one man on the left side of his face and was about to dodge a jab when he felt a foot impacting on low back making him stumble a few steps. Before he could regain balance he was met with a piece of wood on his stomach; the pain caused his sight to turn all blurry. He heard a gasp scaping from Anne’s mouth but decided to not look at her. He felt on his knees and pressed his hands against his stomach to relieve to soothe the pain but the man started to kick him in the head, the ribs and back, after a few minutes he became numb from so much pain.
