I'm In Trouble

Clip 33

Were they done? Minhyun felt his shirt almost damp with sweat from how nervous he was. The door shut and he let out a small relieved squeak. He peered up and clicked the monitor on.

100%

Oh thank god. He removed the hard disk and turned the desktop off before stuffing it into his jacket pocket. He moved towards the door and listened for any sound before slowly turning the lock open. He turned the knob and hesitated to pull the door at first but he had to. He had to leave. He just wasn't sure if everyone was gone yet. He gulped and pulled it open. He looked outside cautiously before standing up on his two feet. Nobody. He came outside and shut the door, locking it as well before-

"Who is that?"

Crap, crapcrapcrap.

Minhyun found himself freezing up but quickly broke out of it as he spun around, finding not one but two men dressed in suits walking up to him. Minhyun immediately dashed towards the room where the window Baekho was at.

"Hey! Get back here."

He locked the door before pushing the window open and pulled out the hard disk.

"Baekho!" He yelped and the male below the 7 floors looked up. Minhyun threw the hard disk down and pressed himself against the window. He should jump, right? He can survive 7 floors. Maybe?

"Minhyun?" Baekho was confused but managed to catch the hard disk before it hit the ground. Thankfully there was the dim street light that allowed him to see it. "Minhyun, what are you doing?"

"Run!" Minhyun yelled. "Go and figure out the truth!"

"I'm not leaving you," Baekho yelled. The door rattled before the sound of keys jangled. Minhyun stiffened. There was nowhere for him to run. "Jump! I'll catch you."

Minhyun looked down and his legs wobbled. He shook his head furiously. There was no way. There was just no way! He lifted a leg up but it felt as heavy as lead. His mind went into a frantic panic mode. This was a bad idea. He couldn't do it.

"Minhyun, trust me!"

"I can't. I'm sorry!" Minhyun yelled as he panted heavily . The door opened and the men grabbed him, pulling him back inside. Baekho gasped and hurriedly hid himself in the shadows while Minhyun helped and hit the ground. One of them peered out the window to find nothing and turned back to Minhyun.

"Who the hell are you and what do you think you're doing in the office at night?" the man yelled and flicked a light switch on. Minhyun lifted his arms to cover his face and shield it from the blinding light but they were pulled away and pinned down.

"Check him. It'll be bad for us if he had any evidence or anything at all that'll expose the boss."

"Stop! I don't have anything!" Minhyun yelped as the man fiddled through his pockets. They pulled out the keys, cigarette pack and his phone. Minhyun didn't bring anything else with him after all except maybe a chewing gum stick.

"Then who the hell are you?"

"I..." Minhyun blinked. "I'm Minhyun. I'm a singer."

The two became immediately confused as the man pulled a chair out, lifted him and pushed him onto it. Minhyun gulped as he hugged his jacket tightly.

"Don't lie to us!"

"I'm really not lying?! I'm a pop star."

"Who are you working for?"

"P-Pleat-tes," Minhyun blurted out, trying not to bite his tongue from how nervous he was. He breathed in and tried to calm himself down. Act confident, Minhyun.

"Who the hell is Pleates?"

"It's an entertainment company. You can search online if you don't trust me," Minhyun said, changing his tone to a firmer one. He gazed at his phone and the cigarette pack.

"You better don't think you're so smart and playing us for fools."

The other searched his phone and gasped. "He really is a pop star. What the hell does a pop star want with us?"

"Uh..." This was the hard part but Minhyun had already prepared what he would have said if he ever got caught in such a situation. He could only hoped it worked. "I'm supposed to be doing the performance for an opening event for you guys s-soon. Y-you see, I came here like two days ago for a meeting and I left something here by accident."

"And you snuck in for that reason?"

"Y-yes. It's a bit embarrassing to say but uh..." Oh, Minhyun. It was now or never. "I might have left... A condom packet."

The two males were stunned and Minhyun seized the chance to pick up his stuff casually. He kept them in his pocket and he shone them a smile. He stood up and patted himself.

"So I didn't want to tell anyone that or... It'll look bad for my image, you know?" Minhyun gulped, knowing the two were trying to figure out if he was telling them lies or not. The more cautious one obviously wasn't buying it while the other looked like he just didn't want to deal with Minhyun anymore.

"You carry a condom packet around?" the man asked and Minhyun stiffened. He chuckled nervously and nodded.

"Yeah. I like to have my own fun after a stressful day, you know?" So much for a fib. The man grabbed Minhyun's wrist and he flinched.

"Oh. Then we will let you go if you service us."

The other was shocked but kept silent as Minhyun's eyes widened. "I'm sorry? I don't sleep with guys."

"Does that matter? We can tell your agency you snuck in here. Not to mention, you have a cigarette pack with you too. You're much more rebellious than you look," the man said and held Minhyun's neck. His other hand dipped towards his pants. Minhyun did not like where this was going at all but he held it in. "If you do as we say now, we will let you go. What do you say?"

"Only if it's a deal." He couldn't afford to get himself in danger with his agency.

"Deal."
