CHAINS OF PAIN (Hyunho/Minchan/Hyunlix/Seungjin/ChanIn/Minsung/Chanlix/Jongho/2min/Changlix/Changho)
ANOTHER WOUND
Chan noticed his shoulders slumped when he walked in the dining room
Bang Chan
He'll take dinner in room?
Hwang Hyunjin
He said he wants to sleep
Hyunjin said taking a seat and sighed deeply leaning with the back of chair and closed his eyes
Bang Chan
Hyunjin-a, you need to give him time. He looked quite nervous
Bang Chan
Did he tell where he was?
Hwang Hyunjin
His words feel nothing more than a Lie Chan
Hyunjin said looking at him
Hwang Hyunjin
He's trying to hide something. He's covering up
Bang Chan
Calm Down. Give him some time. Maybe he'll tell you the truth later when he's back to his normal state
Hyunjin silently started to eat, but it was hard to swallow a single bite. How could he even tell Minho how crazily he fell for younger. How madly he loved him and how desperately he was waiting for him to get back
Taking a deep breath he tried to Calm his senses down a little
A gentle knock on door took his attention. He got up immediately. Eyes were tired not sleeping a wink last night
Lee Min Ho
Wh-Who is this?
Hwang Hyunjin
Min, it's me Hyunjin
Minho got up slowly walking to the door and unlocked open it. Hyunjin walked in with a trey of food
Hwang Hyunjin
Let's have breakfast
Hyunjin looked his face as he said
Hwang Hyunjin
You didn't eat anything last night. Neither in the morning. It's afternoon and you're still not hungry? What's wrong with your appetite?
His voice took a strange expression within making Hyunjin pause for a while
Hwang Hyunjin
Just a little please. Just a few bites
Han raised his head looking at Hyunjin. The words were so familiar
A little house span inside his head along a boy holding umbrella on his head. He stood silent for a while making Hyunjin wonder if he heard him or not. Minho silently took a slice of sandwich
Hwang Hyunjin
You need anything else?
Hyunjin asked handing him the glass of juice. Minho shook his head still low. He was avoiding eye contact
Hwang Hyunjin
Do you know how madly I searched for you
Hyunjin said in a gentle tone
Hwang Hyunjin
I thought I lost you
Minho stood silent for a while and looked up at him
Lee Min Ho
Th-The boy, in Elevator and back in building. Who ... Who was he?
Hyunjin paused at sudden question
Lee Min Ho
You told him I was your friend's brother? You told Chan the truth why lying to him
Hwang Hyunjin
He's ... Family
Hyunjin said swallowing dry
Hwang Hyunjin
He's kind of crazy, so I didn't want to expose our relationship yet. But when you went missing, I told him your brother of my friend and even made a friend of me made them sure because Jeong-in is an evil man. He can make Seungmin believe any thing
Hyunjin stated looking at Minho's face for any sign of understanding. Minho simply looked down again
Hwang Hyunjin
W-Why are you asking? Did he say something to you?
His question was a dagger in his heart, but he stood silent and calm
Lee Min Ho
Can you, do me a favor?
Hyunjin saw Minho turning to him slightly
Hwang Hyunjin
What do you need my help in?
Lee Min Ho
Can you ... Bring back my passport from my room?
Minho asked in desperation. Hyunjin frowned in confusion
He asked and the very moment he realized why
Hwang Hyunjin
Are you ... Are you planning to go back?
Hyunjin stood up looking at him. Getting no response he knelt down in front of Minho holding his hands
Hwang Hyunjin
Why Min. You ... You said you'll stay for a month. It's been only two weeks
Lee Min Ho
M-My Dad wants me to get back
Hwang Hyunjin
You're lying Min, Please tell me If something happened I promise I'll take anything to make things right for you Min
Hyunjin was holding his hands tightly
Lee Min Ho
Take my passport first
Minho said decisively. Hyunjin stood silent for a while and nodded in the end
Hwang Hyunjin
Fine, I'll take your Passport. But promise me you'll tell me everything after that
Hyunjin looked deep in his eyes. Minho nodded
Minho said firmly. He was going to tell him now no matter what
Bang Chan
Are you going somewhere?
Chan asked him who walked down the stairs with a trey of food. Hyunjin nodded handing the trey to a servant
Hwang Hyunjin
I'm going out for a while. Take Care of Minho my behalf please. I've given him a phone if he needs anything but still
He said pulling out his keys. Chan answered with just a nod staring Hyunjin's back
Bang Chan
Take Care of the young kid if he needs anything
He said to a servant walking to his room
Getting out of Chan's mansion, he drove to the building Minho was staying. He has visited the place quite often. It was easy for him to make the management open the door for him
Hwang Hyunjin
Do you have a spare key card of Minho's room?
Random Worker
Yes Sir but –
Hwang Hyunjin
Open the room for me,
He was not requesting. He was giving orders. Manager after a moment of hesitation walked with him to Minho's room and opened the door. Getting inside Hyunjin searched for Minho's bag and clothes finding all his belongings, but the passport was nowhere to be seen
Hwang Hyunjin
Did someone visit his room before?
He asked the manager who shook his head
Random Worker
No Sir. The room is locked since he left last time
Hwang Hyunjin
How can his passport disappear suddenly then. HOW
Random Worker
Sir that night ... The night after he disappeared. He ... Came back
Random Worker
Yes Sir. He came back late that night but, didn't go out
Hwang Hyunjin
You're telling me this now? I want to check the security cams
Random Worker
I've checked them sir. But there's no footage. Someone messed with the footage
Manager said looking down
Hwang Hyunjin
This is your fúckíng safety for your residents?
He growled in anger. Having no reply from Manager he rushed back. Minho said he has an accident that night on his way back. But according to manager he came back but didn't go out. So how did he disappear?
Why did Minho lie. There was something big he was hiding. Someone messed with the security footage. Someone ...?
Suddenly a name popped in his head. The only person who can control and can't be doubted was the own freaking owner of the building. None other than his rich as hell Fiancé. He pulled out his phone calling Kim Seungmin
Kim Seungmin
Hello There Mister. Are you done taking care of your friend's baby brother?
Seungmin's sarcastic tone rose from other side
Hwang Hyunjin
Where are you?
Kim Seungmin
Aww ... Missing me?
Hwang Hyunjin
Just tell me where are you?
Hyunjin's patience was wearing thin. Seungmin stood silent for a while
With Seungmin's words Hyunjin dropped the call walking out. Way to club was in a screaming silence with a million questions and piercings thoughts
Seo Changbin
Look who's here?
The moment he stepped in, Changbin saw him with a smug smirk. Hyunjin ignored him walking above. His head was spinning with thoughts of what was the truth
He called out getting in a room they usually used to stay in, but the room was empty. He took a seat pulling his phone out calling Seungmin chugging a glass of strong alcohol. When Seungmin didn't attend several times, he rose up walking out of room looking for the boy
The moment he walked out, someone walked in and took his friend from table typing a message. A little away from the Club in a closed room, screen of Minho's phone given by Hyunjin brightened up
He was looking out of the window waiting for Hyunjin as it was now getting dark. As the screen woke up his eyes shifted to the phone. He grabbed it and saw a message by Hyunjin
？？？
Meet me at the Club I took you once before. Make your way quick. I've something important to tell you
He read the text but couldn't process why Hyunjin called him to the Club. The Stríppér Club? If he has to say something can't he come back and elaborate
He texted back asking Hyunjin to come back and tell him, but there was no reply. Getting off the bed he was hesitant about whether to go out or not. He finally took his decision getting out of the room
Walking down the stairs he was still staring his phone checking if Hyunjin checked the message and in his lost of concentration he bumped into a masculine body
Chan gently held his waist making him not to fall. Minho immediately stepped back out of his embrace
Bang Chan
Are you going out!
Minho only nodded without making eye contact
Bang Chan
Want me to drop you?
He asked taking a no as an answer. With a shook of head, younger walked past him getting out. Tho Chan wanted to stop him,, but he was unable to. Still he asked one of his guards to follow him
Taking a Cab to Club, he kept on staring at the phone. As he reached the Club, his heart rate rose to a higher level his mind racing trying to figure whether to go in or not
Finally, hearing his head instead of heart he stepped out of the cab on his way inside the Club
Kim Seungmin
Were you looking for me?
He found Seungmin in another room after quite a while. He was sitting there with a glass of alcohol in hos hand. Hyunjin abruptly walked inside
Hwang Hyunjin
Be Honest with me Seungmin. Did you ever wrong Minho
Seungmin raised an eyebrow
Random Worker
Your Friend's Baby Brother"
Hwang Hyunjin
Yes him. Tell me what you did you him? Yesterday, he was scared because of you and not because of suffocation, wasn't he?
Kim Seungmin
Are you accusing me that I did something to your little boy and scared him
Hwang Hyunjin
Tell me the Truth Seungmin
Kim Seungmin
I think you should tell me the truth first
Seungmin's voice rose too
Kim Seungmin
Why are you so hyped up about? I doubt him being only your friend's brother
He said with a stern expression
Kim Seungmin
You think making a friend of you call us and tell Minho is his brother will make me believe. Tell me he's not your lover?
Hwang Hyunjin
What if he is?
Hyunjin shouted making him quite
Hwang Hyunjin
If he is my Lover. What will you do?
He said looking in Seungmin's eyes
Kim Seungmin
I'll ruin you
Seungmin grabbed his collar
Kim Seungmin
The status, the money the fúckíng job you have, it's all given by me. You're nothing without me
Hwang Hyunjin
I fúckíng don't care about it anymore
Hyunjin shrugged his arms pushing him away
Kim Seungmin
You will Care Hyunjin. Don't forget what our deal was
Kim Seungmin
I'll expose your truth. The truth about Felix
His words worked like a slap
Kim Seungmin
I'll expose what you did to him
Hyunjin froze to his place
Kim Seungmin
Don't forget I've all those evidences about you. Our deal was I won't expose you, and you'll be my personal ... SÉX WORKER
Seungmin pushed him on the couch and sat on his lap wrapping his arms around Hyunjin's shoulder who couldn't push him away again knowing consequences
Kim Seungmin
Now do what you're good at
Seungmin said leaning over his face
He whispered crashing his kips over Hyunjin's who didn't pull away
Outside the room, two eyes saw them. Froze to his existence, a tear fell off Minho's eye
