I know what you did last summer

Chapter Twenty-Three: Past III

Third Person's POV

Marco only managed to capture one of the boys who wronged his daughter.

"Sir, I'm really sorry. I don't know what gotten to my mind that night." Hanbin explained to Marco while two masculine men were holding his arms

Marco can't feel any mercy on the poor boy who was already beaten up by his men.

"You fucking mess with the wrong person. You fucking stole my princess' dignity. You fucking destroyed everything for her." Marco gripped Hanbin's hair "Give me one reason why I shouldn't kill you."

Hanbin unconsciously swallowed his saliva in fear for his life "I'll tell you where my friends are hiding. Just don't kill me. You can do whatever you want with them just please let me go and don't kill me."

~~

"Where are we going?" Hanbin asked the man in a black suit "Your boss called you Mr. Chu, right? Where are we going, Mr. Chu?"

Mr. Chu looked at him in the rearview mirror "We're going to the place where you're going to live in. Listen, kid, my boss gave you a big favor by keeping you alive, you're fortunate that he showed mercy on you. The families of your friends are already searching for them, if you make a wrong move by telling them or the police where we are holding your friends, my boss will going to make sure that you're dead and your family. From now on, you're going to live here permanently, you're not going back to Seoul anymore because we're going to make believe the public, especially the families of your friends that you're one of the missing boys. You know why we're keeping you here?"

With all the things that Mr. Chu said, Hanbin can only do is to shook his head, answering Mr. Chu's last question.

"Because if they found out you're alive, the families will hunt you. The worst scenario is if they use your family to blackmail you just to testify for them. Do you want your family to be involved with this shit you created?"

Hanbin shook his head again. He looked outside the car. Jeju will be his home now. He won't be going to see his family anymore. A single tear escaped from his eyes, regretting all the things they did that night.

"Mr. Chu, what are you going to do with my friends?"

"Beat them up to death. Slowly killing them, triple of the pain you caused to boss' daughter."

"Oh god." Hanbin breath out "I sell my friends to the devil."

"What you did is right. Keeping you and your family safe is the right decision. Don't have or feel mercy for those pigs, people like them should die like that, slowly and painfully. I know you're a good kid, boy. Why? I mean.. what gotten to your mind to do that?"

"When Jimin and my other friends brought that girl out of the club, I was telling them to stop and don't do whatever they were planning but they didn't listen. We went to this abandoned building. I was so nervous that time, I took one of Jimin's cigarettes without knowing that inside were marijuana. I got high and then... they gave me drugs, I..was under the influence of drugs that time. I didn't know what I am doing, it was like someone was whispering to me to do that. I... I was the one who first took advantage of her. I'm so sorry."

"Sir, it's been two years, can I contact my family now? I just wanna know if they are okay." Hanbin asked Mr. Chu

Mr. Chu put down the groceries that he bought for his so-called prisoner "In one condition, you're only allowed to call one person, no other than that person should know you're alive. Are we clear?"

Hanbin nodded his head "Yes, sir."

Mr. Chu sighed and gave his phone to Hanbin "Just five minutes."

Hanbin immediately dialed her sister's number.

"Hello?"

"Jennie."

"Brother? Is this you? Hanbin?"

"Yes, Jen. Listen, don't tell anyone especially our family that I called you."

"Why? Where are you? Mom is so worried, we thought that you're dead."

"I'm alive. I did a horrible thing here in Jeju, Jen that is why I can't go home anymore. I will put our family in danger if I go back there."

"I... I can't understand. What did you do, brother?"

"That's not important anymore, Jen. How are you there? How's mom? Jisoo eonni and V?"

"We're all good here. I'm worried about you. You have no one there, no one is taking care of you."

"Don't worry about me, Jen. Someone helped me. I'm begging you, Jen. Don't ever tell anyone that I called you or else our family will be doomed, you do understand?"

"Yes. I have news for you, brother. I have a daughter now."

"W..what? Jennie-yah! I told you not to do boyfriends first!"

"No, I adopted her. Her name is Gab. I hope you can meet her in the future."

Hanbin is on the verge of tears "If everything will be okay but I doubt that. Take care of yourself and our fam."

"I will, brother. Take care of yourself too. Can I at least know where you are exactly?"

"I can't tell you where exactly I am but I am in Jeju-si in an apartment, that's all I can give you. This will be my last call, Jen."

Jen sobbed, crying for her brother "I miss you, brother. Please, don't neglect yourself. Take care always. I love you."

Hanbin finally cried "I love you too, Jen. Kiss them and take care of them for me, I love them so much." He ended the call

He brushed off his tears before giving back the phone to Mr. Chu "Thank you, sir."

"Can you trust the person you called?" Mr. Chu asked, getting his phone from Hanbin's hand

"I trust my sister more than anymore."

"Do you still want something? I'm going."

"Just one question, sir. What happened to my friends?"

"Do you really want to know?"

Hanbin nodded.

"We burned their body so that no one can see them again."
