Kwan gasped awake. He squinted his eyes as he felt a ringing in his ear. The ringing deafening him and he tried to block it out when he noticed that his hands were restrained behind his back. As soon as his vision became clearer he tried tugging his hands and feet but all were tied to a chair.
"Ah, you're up. Good! I thought you were going to miss out on the fun." Wonshik muttered.
Kwan turned and saw the man holding a glass of wine on his right and the other was hooked on his pockets. He then suddenly remembered being knocked out into unconsciousness.
"Eungoo!" He yelled.
"He's fine… well… right now he is." Wonshik calmly said as he pulled a chair and positioned it slantly from Kwan's direction. He then straddled the chair and drank some of his wine.
"What the fuck are you going to do with him?" His voice trembled as he feared the worst for his friend.
"Not me." Wonshik smiled. "But since it is your birthday, I asked Yejun hyung to lessen the.. intensity of the punishment."
"What do you mean intensity of his punishment?" Kwan pleaded."
"Well… your precious dongsaeng broke so many rules today and pretty much stole from Park Yejun so… Don't expect him to walk so freely. We are talking about Park Yejun…"
'It was true' Kwan thought. Nobody messes with Park Yejun and gets away with it. It was known everywhere that the man was merciless and ruthless. This was the heir of the Golden Dragon Clan, frightening, remorseful, and heartless.
"Is he…" He did not dare finish the sentence. Kwan was scared shitless out of his mind and the thought of his friend dying at the hands of this monster was so unimaginable and Kwan, himself, doesn't know if he could handle it.
"He won't kill him, mark my words," Wonshik said as he sat back down on his seat with a bottle of vodka. Since he also needs to punish his maid. He wanted to enjoy the punishment that he laid out for Min Kwan.
Wonshik poured some vodka on his now empty glass and scooted closer to Kwan. He reached down to his pocket and pulled out a small device and pressed the button. The wall that Kwan was supposedly facing was slowly being lifted to show a one-way mirror.
Kwan widened his eyes as he looked around and finally noticed that he was in an interrogation room, dim-lit, small, and all black. His jaw fell to the floor when he saw Park Yejun sitting comfortably on a swiveling chair with papers in his hands. And it finally clicked; He was seeing Park Yejun's office and the man himself.
There were men wearing all-black attire who had entered the room and there was a woman who was also in all-black clothing but hers was rather much casual than of the men that walked in the room. She was dragging a resisting Eungoo in the room and made him sit infront of Yejun.
"Eungoo…" Kwan whispered.
"You're going to need this." Wonshik offered him some vodka. He didn't let the other respond and brought the alcohol towards his lips, making him drink the whole damn thing in one go.
Kwan coughed a little from the burning sensation he then felt on his throat before looking at Eungoo, worry etched on his face.
A man then walked up to Park Yejun and placed the cake on his desk before bowing a 90-degree and walked backward. The woman crossed her arms over his chest and stood beside Eungoo.
"Leave us," Yejun ordered in which everyone obediently left, all except the woman. He then looked up and smiled at her and clasped his hands together. "What do you want."
"Your word." She sternly spoke.
"Ahh… Yes… Sorry about that earlier. May I ask about-"
"They're being sent back at the Park residence and being inspected for damages as we speak. Now, your word." She said.
"Won't happen again, I assure you."
"Steak or none?" She suddenly asked which took Kwan aback.
"Steak." Yejun responded. The odd woman nodded and glanced at Eungoo one more time before taking her to leave.
"Steak?" Kwan asked and looked at Wonshik who was downing another shot.
"For dinner."
'Ah… a maid.' Kwan thought and yelled out of disbelief when he noticed that everyone that worked under Park Yejun was equally lethal as their master. He was right that Park Yejun shouldn't be underestimated and not to go against.
Yejun then pulled the cake towards him and sighed. He looked at his so-called pet with a blank expression. Eungoo was eyeing the floor like it was the most interesting thing in the world for him. But the truth is, he didn't want to see his expression.
"Now… do you mind telling me… WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST DO?!" Eungoo flinched at how Yejun's voice started to become louder. He closed his fist and trembled a little from his seat. He has always felt inferior from the loudness of anything, may it be from his the ton amount of past screaming bosses or from… anything loud really.
Yejun's patience was on the brink of extinction. He slowly got up from his seat and walked towards Eungoo and positioned himself infront of the man. He sat a little on the edge of his desk and held the edge with his two hands, trying to prevent himself from slapping him or doing something before he could finally get his answers.
"I asked you a question, Eungoo. And I expect an answer!"
Eungoo bit his lips and slowly lifted his head and sighed before answering, "Kwan hyung…"
Kwan's heart broke even further when he heard his name. He tried to tug on his restraints more, trying to break free and help Eungoo but he couldn't.
"What about that man?"
"Today's his birthday… And I thought that since you're super rich you wouldn't mind losing a motorcycle." Eungoo chuckled nervously, still trying to avoid eye contact.
Yejun clicked his tongue to the side and grabbed Eungoo's jaw. He had a powerful grip that made the other whimper from the pain. He was livid and he wanted to kill him so much for the other thinking like that. What broke his heart so much as the fact that Eungoo didn't even consider his feelings; he thought that he and the other were closer but who knew that Eungoo had the guts to betray him like this. And he hated it.
"That still doesn't give you the right to steal from me!" He exclaimed.
Eungoo bit his tongue as he was realizing the mistake that he made. He thought that it was also Yejun's fault in some way since he was beginning to ignore the younger. But he doesn't regret doing what he did since he got to hug Kwan even for the last time.
"Look at me dammit!!!" Yejun yelled. "That's it? You've got nothing to say?!"
"FUCK KIM EUNGOO!!!" Kwan yelled and was helplessly screaming at his best friend for being super stupid. He knew that Yejun was looking for some sort of apology and knowing his best friend, will not say sorry due to his of what remaining pride he had in himself.
Min Kwan was a sobbing mess and began to plead as he was being held captive. Wonshik sighed as he gave a sad smile at him and knew what was going to happen next.
Yejun screamed at the top of his lungs and released Eungoo from his grip. He was so close to exploding that the one thing he saw first was the damn cake on his desk. He took it and threw it across the room and to his one-way mirror. He was red from the anger. His eyes glued on the mirrored wall where he knew that Wonshik held Kwan.
Kwan's lips quivered and his heart pounded heavily at Park Yejun's deadly eyes. It was as if the man was staring right at him when he knew that he couldn't see him. But still hoped that he could see him which was why he mouthed a silent please.
Kwan screamed when he grabbed Eungoo by the hair and threw him on his desk, moving all of his things in one go. He then screamed louder when he was beginning to witness the so-called punishment of his best friend. This resulted in him thrashing around and fell on the floor. He was crying out loud, pleading for Yejun to stop. He felt helpless.
Wonshik knelt down lifted Kwan up back to his upright position and brought him closer to the wall. He smirked menacingly as he held Kwan's head to make his eyes trained to the scene in the other room. This was his punishment, to watch his best friend become undone.
Kwan couldn't help himself and cry. It was the only thing he could do. It was the second time he felt powerless. The first time was when he saw Eungoo infront of the diner. If only Kwan could trade places with Eungoo, he'd take all of the pain but the universe has yet fucked him in every way and greeted him a happy birthday.
