You stood up, running over towards Si-eun with your wide eyes. Your breath hitched in your throat, your voice shaking ever so slightly as you called out to him, your hands shaking. "Si-eun! Where's Su-ho? Oh god, is he alright?" You cried out, clinging onto Si-eun's arm tightly. "He's fine." Si-eun replied, taking in the scene before him.

There, the people who practically held you captive for half an hour, were just sitting down nonchalantly, almost as if they hadn't threatened to kill you and Su-ho if he came. But, instead of Su-ho like Beom-seok had wanted, Si-eun came instead to protect his friend.

Yeong-bin grinned, standing up. "Yeon fucking Si-eun, it's been a while, huh?" He spat, motioning for his friends to get up. Kang Woo-young followed closely behind, a small, cocky grin on his face as he took in the scene. That's when it all clicked in Si-eun's brain; Beom-seok had paid Woo-young to beat the blood out of Su-ho, and that's why he had basically taken you down here in this random empty car garage.
