Undercover CEO

Chap#23

Joshua's POV:

'Won't you cry out for your Jeonghan?', the man sitting on a chair infront of me asked.

I had lot my consciousness in the car, the next thing I saw after waking up was that - I was in a dimly lit room with three dark figures towering me and intending to beat me to death-

'I asked you something, I see...Joshua you're very tight-lipped. Seonghwa you should've told me to bring extra whips', Wooyoung the name by which San called that man,  whinned and then looked at me.

'Say, Joshua, your cardigan is nice with the red color on it, why dont we give it to Jeonghan. He'll be glad, right?'

Wooyoung took out a blade and cut the cardigan but didn't even bother of untying my wrists which were felt like bleeding.

As he took off my cardigan, my eyes fell on my white shirt which was soaked with blood. The murky color of the blood was visible even under the dim light.

My body felt weak, it twitched from the pain that the whips of Wooyoung left on my skin.

My face felt hot.

The door of the room suddenly opened-

'Where are you off to, San?'

'I'm just gonna parcel this thing to Jeonghan now, he must be looking for Joshua madly. Let's put him at ease, shouldn't we Seonghwa', San concluded.

'Yes, he must be mad, Greil's dead-', Seonghwa couldn't finish.

'Greil's dead!?', I managed to ask.

'Pretty dead, Shua. I can imagine Jeonghan running like a-', San started.

'You KILLED him!', I shouted at him.

San approached me and kicked me in the stomach, blood spurted out of my mouth.

San gripped my hair and continued, 'Yes, I did. That's what I do for a living.'

I tasted blood in my mouth...and then again got knocked out...

'Mingyu, where's my phone?', Jeonghan suddenly bolted up.

'Here', Minki said handing Jeonghan his phone.

Jeonghan took it. As he was about to disappear, Minghao said, 'We'll call you for dinner.'

Jeonghan nodded, his eyes swollen red.

Junhui's POV:

'Aaahh, Jun', Minghao sighed,' this day doesn't seem to end.'

We both were sitting on a couch in the living room. Mingyu and Minki hyung went to their rooms to freshen up.

I nodded, ' Jeonghan's going through a  lot now...Greil was his only companion before Joshua joined-'

'Junhui, tell me something. Why do you think Jeonghan asked for an assistant.'

I sat there, silently.

Minghao started, ' He needed someone to stay with him-'

Ting Tong!

' Jaemin's here, let me get it', Minghao said getting up.

I laid back on the couch.

Somehow it feels like Joshua isn't dead yet...he can't be...
Jeonghan sure is thinking the same thing.

I looked up at Minghao, who was making Jaemin understand his work.

Minghao, I don't know...whether having you in my life or not...would change me...change my way of tackling things, change my way of thinking freely or would make me realize the true meaning of friendship.

Xu Minghao.

Thank you for staying with me.
