HIDEOUT: LEE TAEYONG

i woke up from the vibration crawling up my body, the car slightly bouncing from the bumpy road as i could hear inaudible conversations inside the car. tiny tingles sending shivers down my spine, i could feel my black hair being stroked by someone's fingers, also realizing my face was resting on someone's thighs like a pillow.

noticing that i was not in the hideout, in sopa, i immediately bounced on my spot and sat up properly, looking around with a bewildered expression on my face.

"your hair is soft." hyunjin complimented. he sat on the window seat, his legs spreading widely with his crossed arms in front of his chest.

i felt uncomfortable, so i instantly tried to scoot away from him, but i only bumped into someone's shoulder. "hi mate~" a deep voice greeted, it was felix.

i looked forward to see chan driving the car, his veiny hands placed on the steering wheel as we made eye contact through the rear mirror above him. "i'm sorry for the face, i had to so you could remain quiet without trying to escape." he apologized, but i didn't accept and gave him a death glare.

"chan, stop the fucking car and let me go." i commanded, sharply and steadily but of course he didn't listen. he continued driving, the silence slowly killing me, murdering me and all i wanted was to get out of the van..

but how?

i quietly gazed over at felix who was silently looking forward, a small smile pasted on his lips. he seemed harmless, so i quickly tried to push him over the door and tried reaching for the handle of the door, attempting to open it for me to flung myself out but didn't work out, as expected.

"hey, what the fuck is happening?" chan screamed, trying to look behind but instead focused forward to avoid any accidents.

i successfully opened the door and both me and felix were leaning down, the rapid wind hitting our skin and i really tried to throw myself out of the window along with felix. "ahhh help!" felix screamed, reaching for jeongin's hand that he offered, and once he did, he strongly pulled him up as i felt arms wrapped around my waist, being tugged in along with felix.

the scene ended quickly with someone from behind closing the door. "for fuck sake!" i heard someone growl, it was a familiar face and it was changbin. "i told you we should've let felix stay in our hideout, he's fucking useless like him too." he pointed at jeongin who quietly slouched on his seat, pretending he didn't heard any of it.

"changbin, stop being such a dick and sit still." chan commanded, earning a scoff from changbin.

"you are one strong girl." hyunjin chuckled, his arms still around me as he pulled me closer. his body's warmth melting me, i uncomfortably leaned my body away from him, my face puckered together.

luckily, chan noticed. "hey, hyunjin take it easy... move away from her." he said, hyunjin dind't oblige. "you don't want taeyong to murder you right? if soyoung here says something about you?" a smirk formed on his lips, hyunjin gulping a lump down and unsurely let go of me, letting me sit properly on my the seat between him and felix.

"just don't move." hyunjin spoke, once again pointing a gun on my waist, pressing the tip against my cloth as i flinched, my whole body stiffened. "what are you gonna do? shoot me like you did to somin?" i glowered him down, my eyebrows knitting as a scowl was seen on my lips.

"maybe." hyunjin teased.

"stop hyunjin." chan said.

"why did you shoot somin?! you vowed to not hurt her anymore, and yet you shot her on the leg." i couldn't believe my own words, i was protecting and feeling worried for someone who disliked me strongly, it just made me realize that even my worst enemies, i would still care for them.

"hey, soyoung relax. we will explain everything when we get to our hideout, okay?" chan said, his eyes looking at mine with the help of the rear mirror. i didn't answer but stared with my eyes lit up with fire.

before i could try to escape again, i suddenly froze after i felt someone's fingertip brush softly the blood dripping down my lip corner from the previous punch chan gave me. gosh, i still couldn't believe he did that, it was so severe and powerful.

i turned over to see hyunjin, slowly pulling his hand to himself again. "blood... there was blood on your lips." he quietly said.

i ignored his sayings and turned around to face away from him, instead i looked at felix. "i'm sorry for almost pushing you out of the car." i apologized, his cheeks gradually turning red as he avoided eye contact with me. "it's okay."

"chan, please tell me why am i here? please let me go." i begged, leaning forward to get closer to him. "please."

"don't worry, i will explain everything after this."
