orphic [HyunSeung]

5. Questions

Hyunjin had honestly not the slightest idea where the two girls were leading him. 
He only knew those parts of town near his house and a bit of where Jackson would always take him but even there he would probably be rather lost if he wouldn't have the older with him. 

He also didn't dare to speak up again as one of them still had her weapon in hand and he really wasn't fond of leaving his life somewhere on the streets just because he couldn't shut up for once. 

As it was evening and the streets they were walking on weren't necessarily well lit, Hyunjin had even more difficulties when it came to orientation, hoping that he wouldn't just be let alone once he got out of this situation. 
The only good thing was that his eyes were slowly getting used to the dark so he could at least see shit and wouldn't fall over everything he would come across. 

When the two girls stopped in front of a building, he stopped as well, making sure to keep a safe distance to the two of them. 
By now he had already given up on trying to orientate himself even the slightest, knowing there was no chance he would find a way out himself other than just walking along some random roads until he would come across somewhere he knew. 

The smaller of the two banged on the door a couple of time before calling out "Chan, we found him, open up!"
Shortly after, the big metal door they were standing in front of opened up, the inside of the building just as dark as the night.

"Come on in, Hyunjin" the shorter girl called, waving him towards the door.
Hesitantly, he did as asked, walking past the two of them and inside of the building, where the doors closed behind him once the two girls also entered. 

Without another word said, they led him to something that seemed like some kind of office, chairs on both sides of a table which was packed with paperwork, a computer monitor and an additional laptop. 

"You can wait here, just don't touch anything," Tzuyu told him with a smile before closing the door again, leaving him alone. 

Hyunjin really didn't know what to do anymore so he just stood there for a few moments before deciding to sit down. He didn't even notice how fast his heart was beating until now, feeling his pulse in his ears as there were no other noises to distract him.

It took maybe five minutes until the door opened again, now a guy, a bit shorter than Hyunjin but probably older than him, entering the room with a smile.
"You must be Hwang Hyunjin," he said, sitting down on the chair on the other side of the table.
"Yeah... but why do you all know my name?", he wanted to know, sitting up straight as he was fairly slouched before. 
"I don't think it's really important where we get our information from, is it?", the other laughed. 

Somehow he was in a too good mood in contrast to the other's he had met until now.
"Jihyo probably informed you why they brought you here, right?", he then asked.
"They only said that someone wanted to ask me some questioned, I guess you are the one then," Hyunjin told him. 
"You're completely right with that. So, why don't we start then?", Chan stated, opening his laptop.

"How do you know Jackson?", was his first question, much to Hyunjin's confusion. 
"I think it was a few years back... he helped me out it a fight" Hyunjin answered truthfully, afraid of what might happen if he would lie. 
"Did he ever introduce you to other people?", the other then asked, seemingly noting the answers Hyunjin gave.
"Yeah, there is this one dude called Mark and another named Jae... there are a few others but I never really caught their names honestly but I barely talk to them anyway" Hyunjin explained, still not getting why he wanted to know stuff about Jackson.

"Why did you talk to Seungmin a week back?", he then asked, looking up from his laptop and straight into Hyunjin's eyes.
So Seungmin was part of all of this.
"Answer the question, Hyunjin" Chan demanded as Hyunjin was just staring at him, slightly starstruck.

"I... uhm" he muttered. Of course, he knew why he talked to Seungmin in the first place but he never would've thought that it would lead to such a situation. "I guess because he was cute?", he then admitted, "and he was alone in such a weird place of town, so I wanted to know why" he added.
"So you don't know what he was there for?", Chan asked with a frown.
"No, how could I? It was the first time ever that I saw him" Hyunjin promised.

"Do you have any idea in what kind of business you got yourself into?", the other then wanted to know.
"Not really but considering that I had a gun pointed at me for the second time in seven times I would guess nothing good" Hyunjin sighed, staring down at an empty spot of the table.
"You're right with that. And let me tell you, this probably wasn't the first time you actually got involved with this, nor the last time. Do you know who Jackson actually is?", the older questioned, making Hyunjin look back up to him again.
"What do you mean?", the other asked.
"Do you really think that a guy like Jackson, who has a group with people you don't even know the identity of are up to any good?", Chan chuckled. "He's part in one of the many gangs around the outskirts. And you, Hwang Hyunjin are in the middle of all of it, not even knowing a single thing about all of it, just unknowingly tagging along with one of the most dangerous underground fighters" he explained to him, leaving Hyunjin with a confused gasp- "But that probably isn't even the worst part at all. Because of you, our operation went wrong, leaving one of the biggest criminals run free."
