<- Previous chapter Masterlist Next Chapter ->

Your heart beated impossibly faster, eyes going from Jaehyun to Wooyoung, not knowing what to do. Besides you, Jongho’s breathing turned irregular, hitching everytime his chest expanded with every breath he took, probably caused by the couple of broken or fractured ribs he had at this point. In your mind, thousands of questions overwhelmed you, making the anxiety in your chest arise. Should you try to fight the inmate by yourself? What if Jaehyun turned around and noticed Wooyoung sneaking up on him? What if he ended up hurting everybody? What if Jongho got even more hurt?

Over Jaehyun’s shoulder, your gaze met Wooyoung’s and the peace in his eyes, an obvious mask for the underlying tension in his body, managed to bring some calm to you. Freaking out wouldn’t be helpful in this situation, you needed to stay focused, you needed to keep all of your attention in the moment and help yourselves out of this mess alive. You weren’t dying on this ring, there was still hope for the two of you.

Right before the inmate could say something, Wooyoung pushed him hard from behind, using enough strength to tackle him down onto the floor like you had previously done a couple of minutes ago. “RUN!” Wooyoung shouted, making you look at him confused. He had a wound on his forehead, big enough that the blood coming from it had started to stain his clothes but as your eyes scanned his body briefly, you could only sigh in relief when you realized that was the only wound that seemed to be damaging him. “(Y/N) RUN!”

He was in a better state than you and Jongho and even though you didn't feel really well about leaving him alone with someone as dangerous as Jaehyun, it was either running away or waiting for Jaehyun to break himself free once again and kill one of the two of you. Said inmate groaned when Wooyoung stepped on one of his hands, forcing him to open it so he would drop the knife he had used to cut your cheek.

Not wanting to waste more time, you were quick to scramble up to your feet behind Jongho, ignoring the way your sore muscles complained with every single movement you made. Reaching out gently, you grabbed one of Jongho's hands and tugged on it, pulling him closer to you, forcing his attention back on you and away from the person that almost stole your lives not so long ago.

“Come on, we need to go” You didn’t give Jongho time to complain, to point out how you would be able to run faster if you tried to escape alone as you placed his arm around your shoulders, forcing him to follow you wherever you went. "I said you were getting out of here and out of here I'll get you" You mumbled, trying to make your voice sound steady and not shaky under Jongho's weight. Moving closer to the edge of the ring, you placed Jongho's hands on the ropes that would help him stay up. "It will be easier for you to slide underneath the ropes that jump over them, right?" You asked, watching him nod quietly "Okay, Iˋll get down first so I can help you" Jumping over the ropes, somehow managing to keep your balance, you smiled a little once your eyes met Jongho's. It was the first time you've seen him feel so uneasy and out of place, so scared and anxious. He was not in a state to protect you and that was killing him faster than the pain his wounds were making him feel.

"Come on" You told him softly, not wanting to sound impatient but a bit uneasy when you glanced back at Wooyoung who was still keeping Jaehyun down against the ring's floor and around to see some of the guards still fighting with the guys. "You can sit down and slide underneath those ropes, alright? I'm going to be down here to get you as soon as your feet touch the floor" Jongho didn’t say a word as he obediently sat down, forcing his body to slide underneath the ropes like you had told him to do, spreading some of his blood on the floor while doing so. As soon as his feet were almost down on the floor, you placed your hands on both of his sides, not caring about his clothes being sticky with blood or sweat, his well-being was way more important than anything else. When his entire weight leaned on you, the two of you stumbled back slightly, almost falling down.

“Here, I’ll help you” Hongjoong was suddenly stealing Jongho away from your arms and letting the younger male support his weight on him “You guys need to hide until we find a clear exit path, there are a lot of Seonghwa’s men wandering around and I don’t feel comfortable leaving the two of you alone with Jongho like this” Hongjoong kept explaining as he never stopped walking, even though when Jongho was taller than him, Hongjoong carried his friend around as if it was no big effort, surprising you with the strength this man hid. You nodded quietly, stumbling behind him, trying to follow his fast and clear train of thought as you followed the guy, your eyes constantly scanning your surroundings, watching people fight everywhere, shooting at each other but fortunately none of the guys were laying around, bleeding or unconscious, not in your sight at least.

You felt bad for dragging them into this, they wouldn’t be here risking their lives if Jongho and you had never planned this out so the least you could do was offering your help even though you would definitely prefer staying with him “If you guys can give me a gun I can just-”

“You stay with Jongho” Hongjoong instructed, using that leader’s tone that would get you to do whatever he wanted with no objections against him. You sighed in silent relief, glad that you would finally get some time to focus on Jongho and just him. Even though he seemed to be managing to keep himself up, taking one step at a time in sync with Hongjoon’s pace, the way his breathing halted everytime he tried to take in a deeper breath, told you things weren’t as good as it seemed.

As soon as the three of you walked into an opened door that leaded into an empty room, Hongjoong increased the speed of his pace a little bit, not hesitating to leave Jongho leaning against the wall before he walked out of the room past you “Hang in there, okay? Keep him awake, we’ll try to take as less time as we can” Not even waiting for your reply, Hongjoong took the gun out of his pocket as he ran down the hall to the ring area where the rest of the guys were still fighting and you, without wasting more time, rushed into the room he had found for the two of you and closed the door, swearing under your breath when you realized it couldn’t be locked.

“Jongho” You immediately reached out to grab the only chair in the room and push it closer to him, ignoring the way the warm blood from your cheek cut kept dripping onto your shoulder. “Sit here” You instructed him, taking his hand gently as you slowly guided him closer to the chair, watching him drop down onto the seat. “How are you feeling?” It was a stupid question, you could imagine how he was feeling but you wanted to keep the conversation flowing to avoid any chance of him falling asleep and unconcious on you.

“That door can’t be locked?” He asked, avoiding your question because of the obvious answer, you shook your head softly, crouching down in front of his legs so Jongho wouldn’t have to force himself to look up at you “We’re not safe in here”

“We’ll be out soon” You replied shaking your head, trying to calm down some of the anxiety you both felt. One of Jongho’s hands reached out to cup your cut cheek, his thumb trying to clean off the blood from your skin but only ending up smearing it more around your face. The sight of his own eyes getting filled up with tears, brought tears to yours but you fought to keep them back, not wanting to make the mood worse than it already was.

“I didn’t want you to get involved in all of this” He whispered, mostly talking to himself out loud, these were his thoughts you were hearing, he was letting you in that mind of his that always intrigued your curiosity “I didn’t want you to get hurt”

“I’m fine” You whispered shakily, your hand coming up to his, covering it as it kept caressing your cheek “See? It’s just a cut, as long as you’re okay, I’ll be fine” You smiled through the pain, your eyes not missing the way one of his tears slid out of his eyes, rolling down his cheek at a fast speed. “You think you would get away without getting me a ring? I thought you knew me better than that” You joked, stealing a smile from his lips, Jongho rolling his eyes at your joke.

“Ms. Choi turned into a show off, huh? When did that happen?” He joked back, his voice rough and husky as he held back the grimaces and groans that came from the waves full of pain his body was standing.

“New surname, new identity I guess” Your cheeky words brought up a chuckle to his lips, finally releasing some of the sadness and pain that had tainted his expression this entire time. Jongho held your hands stronger as more gun shots echoed in the building, Seonghwa’s name was shouted multiple times here and there while some people ran past the room you were locked in. “Maybe we should move” You mumbled, afraid that one of these times, someone would burst the door open and kill the two of you before one of the guys could save you “Hongjoong didn’t give me anything we could protect us with”

“He gave me a gun” Jongho said quietly, grimacing a little as he reached back to get the weapon out from behind his pants and under his shirt, resting the heavy killing thing onto his thigh “He slipped it into my clothes as we made our way here, it only has three bullets but we could save our lives with it” Jongho let your hands go to stand up, you opened your mouth to complain but something in you told you he wouldn’t listen no matter how much you ordered him to stay still, he was back to being his usual self and his protectiveness was back “Maybe you’re right and we should change rooms, find one with a lock” He mumbled, loading the gun, making you flinch with that unsettling sound. “Stay behind me, I’m going to check outside and see if we can go somewhere else”

Nodding quietly, you positioned yourself behind his body although since curiosity got the best of you, you stood on your tip toes to look over his shoulder and to your dismay, the first thing that came into your view was Jaehyun’s face.

“Found you”

Jongho didn’t have the time to push the door closed before Jaehyun barged in through it, throwing the two of you back onto your asses. Before you could scramble up, Jaehyun was quick enough to grab you by your hair once again and pull your body up against his, pressing his chest to your back and the cold muzzle of his gun against the side of your head.

“(Y/N)!” Jongho’s inmediately stood up ignoring his pain, weak and slightly shaky hands pulled up his own gun, aiming it at him. However, Jaehyun was smart enough to cover most of his body with yours so, in case Jongho wanted to kill him, he would have to kill you first. “Let her go! Let her go or Im shooting this bullet straight through your fucking head” Jongho warned

You heard Jaehyun smirking behind you before one of his arms came up to wrap around your neck instead of your middle, holding you in a much tighter way, knowing you wouldn’t fidget around that much “Wrong move and your little kitten over here will stop breathing” He replied and as if he needed to show it, his arm tensed up, constricting your windpipe. Your eyes widened and your hands came up to his arm, nails trying to dig into his skin and force some kind of response from him that would get his grip to ease up a little.

“Jaehyun” You visibly saw Jongho’s hands tightening around the gun, his knuckles turning slightly paler as he kept his aim towards Jaehyun but his cover was good and he wouldn’t be able to pull the trigger without risking your life “Let. Her. Go”

“I don’t feel like it” Jaehyun’s smile widened as he pressed one of his cheeks against yours “I like it when kitten is so close to me….All soft and warm and….So fucking trembling” His dark laugh only made you shiver, tears appearing in your eyes as you looked at Jongho “Fuck I love it”

Before Jongho could say something, an alarm started ringing through the entire builing, catching the three of you off guard. Jaehyun suddenly started laughing loudly, his grip unconciously tightening on your neck, depriving you from some of the oxygen that should have been getting to your lungs.

“How fun!” Jaehyun exclaimed laughing, not even easing his grip for a second “The cops are here!”

The sound of the alarm rang even louder, echoing between the walls of the empty room the three of you were locked into. Despite the chaos behind the door, the room was filled with a calm that seemed deathly, that only made your heart beat faster and your instincts heighten in order to find a way out of this.

You didn’t get this far to be stopped by him, to be ruined by Jaehyun.

Said inmate tightened his arm around your neck, holding you tight against his body. The feeling of the cold metal that belonged to the weapon he held against the side of your head kept reminding you he was in total control of your life right now, it was in Jaehyun’s hands whether you would get to see another day or not. You weren’t willingly waiting for him to make a decision though and using as much strength as you could, you attempted reaching up only managing to grab his sleeves in order to try to release some of the pressure he was putting on your windpipe.

On the other side of the room, Jongho stood right in front of the both of you, his own gun aiming at Jaehyun. His pulse was incredibly steady considering the stressful situation you were in, however, judging by the distressed look on his face, you could tell he didn't have a clear aim. He would have already shot the other inmate down if that was the case.

"You need to go" You told Jongho, breaking the silence between the two of you, looking into his eyes while you tried to keep yourself calm in order to not stress him out even more. "More cops will come soon" His eyes went from your face to Jaehyun's smirk, his muscles tensing when his enemies’ smile got bigger.

"I won't get out of here without you" Jongho replied without hesitation, looking into Jaehyun's eyes coldly"And until this fucker is dead"

"You move and she's the one going down" Jaehyun brushed a few strands of your hair back with his gun, he was only messing around with Jongho’s mind, trying to stress him out so the possibilities of failing his shot would only grow.

"Jongho-"

"Shut up" He warned you, if he heard you telling him to get out of there without you one more time he would go insane "Jaehyun, you either let her go or I kill you" Jongho threatened, Jaehyun only pushed the gun harder against your head “I’m not messing around”

"Drop the gun and I'll let her go" You both knew that as soon as Jongho dropped the gun, Jaehyun wouldn’t hesitate to put a bullet between his eyebrows and then proceed to do God knows what to you. Although, to your surprise, Jongho seemed to be so desperate, so helpless that he decided to follow Jaehyuns instructions.

“Jongho?” You asked hesitant, voice shaky as your eyes scanned his movements.

“We have to listen to him, it’s not like we’re on advantage here Treasure” He said looking into your eyes, ignoring the way his heart squeezed tight as soon as he saw the tears that were gathering in yours.

“Right Treasure, he finally realized I'm the one in control” Jaehyun said, lips pressed against your ear as he forced you to look at Jongho. The sound of his precious nickname coming from his lips made you feel nauseous, uncomfortable and humiliated. It just sounded so wrong when it was said by somebody else “On your knees Choi” He instructed, still not putting his gun down.

“You’re going to regret this” You told him quietly, letting out a shaky breath, watching the love of your life kneel down in front of you.

“Are you sure about that?” Jaehyun asked jokingly, a smirked on his face “I think I won’t”

His words got silenced by the sound of a gunshot that surprised the three of you and before you could do something else, before you could even process what was going on, the entire room spinned under your feet.

“Let’s go!” San’s shout didn’t even let you process what had happened, you could only see the faint smoke blowing from his gun and felt the cold presence of a lifeless body laying behind you but before you could look at it and see a sight that would haunt you in your nightmares Jongho grabbed your hand and pulled you towards him, against his chest.

“Don’t look” He whispered against your ear, his breathing fast and uneven, he had been distressed about the situation, that was clear “Are you hurt? Can you walk?” He asked, only pulling away from you to scan your body, eyes briefly stopping on your neck where your skin was slightly reddening where Jaehyun’s arm had been, it wouldn’t leave a bruise but the sight angered him.

“Guys, we need to start running, the cops are here” San mumbled anxiously, glancing down the hall before Jongho nodded, intertwining your hands together before he started walking to the door where San was standing.

“The cops? What are the cops doing here?” He asked as San started walking down the hall, knowing Jongho and you would be following straight behind

“Wooyoung and I called them, we thought the surprise of them showing up here would give us a distraction and a chance to escape even though we knew there would be a risk of us getting caught up in the situation we are right now” As you explained and Jongho kept pulling you behind him, you couldn’t help but glance in the direction of all the bodies that were scattered around the hall. Some groaned in pain and tried to stand up, aware of the fate they would meet if the police officers got them. Some other bodies didn’t move and you were walking fast enough to not be able to see if their chest were moving up and down due to their breathing or if they weren’t breathing at all.

“I don’t know whether to think of you guys as the smartest people ever or as the biggest idiots in the world” San mumbled with a scoff, gun still in his hand as he talked with you, walking back to the room where the ring and most probably your exit was.

“Jongho! (Y/N)!” Mingi’s voice brought a small smile up to your lips, you were glad he was save and sound and your smile only widened when the guys came into view and all of them seemed to be unharmed. Seongwha was cuffed to the ring unconscious, finally quiet and without any of those nasty words he always had to say.

Except Wooyoung.

“Woo!”

Jongho gently let go of your hand when you called for the other male’s hand so you could approach him. He was sitting with his back against the ring, a big red stain on the side of his shirt where blood started to pool underneath him on the floor.

"W-What happened?" You instantly went to reach out to press down onto his wound, the bleeding wasn't too bad, he wasn't about to die but you just wanted to ease some of his pain.

Wooyoung smiled tensely, reaching out to stop your hands from landing on his wound, not wanting to stain your skin with his blood "Jaehyun and his damn knife" He mumbled, his grumpy tone making you giggle.

"We have to go" Yunho pointed out, the guys were already heading towards a nearby exit.

Jongho came up to you, resting one of his arms on your shoulders, squeezing them gently as he looked down at Wooyoung "You're not coming? You need medical assistance" You pointed out, feeling uneasy but way more comfortable because for once, Jongho was beside you and not behind bars.

"Im staying" Wooyoung said with a small smile, looking at the two of you "I'll tell the cops I had been working undercover on my own to destroy this illegal betting thing…That I arrested Seonghwa by my own in all this chaos… The wound Jaehyun left on me would only make this all believable" He explained quietly "And it will earn you guys some time before they noticed Jongho is gone"

"Wooyoung" Jongho crouched down in front of him, still besides you, refusing to move further away from your body but still wanting to be at the same eye level than him "I'm sorry for all the times I called you motherfucker" His words brought a chuckle out of both males' lips and pulled yours into a smile. It was nice seeing them being nice to each other, it was a shame they were saying goodbye though.

"Deserved all of them" Wooyoung said waving him off "I'm sorry I couldn't be of much help, that I had to treat you the way I did"

Jongho shrugged "You saved us, didn't you? That's all that matters"

"Jongho" Mingi's tone was warning, the sirens were getting louder.

Jongho stood up and reached out for your hand, intertwining your fingers together, squeezing your hand gently telling you your time was almost over.

"Thanks for everything Wooyoung" You mumbled, tearing up. You didn't want to leave him behind like this, not when he was injured but he was right, it would buy you and Jongho some time and without his help you probably wouldn't go that far. "We owe you a big one"

"Just invite me to the wedding, can't miss the chance of seeing you in a white dress" His flirty comment, like the ones he used to tell you back in your high school days, only made the tears roll down your cheeks as you chuckled, nodding at his proposition.

"You'll be the one to walk me down the aisle" You told him, looking into his eyes, the quiet promise laying there in the open between the two of you.

"I'll be there" Wooyoung said quietly, accepting your invitation and right there, without any promises, without any swearings, you knew Wooyoung would attend the day Jongho and you decided to celebrate the wedding no matter where you were or what the situation was.

"You better be" Jongho said with a smile, squeezing your hand again "We're heading South, we'll contact you when we get new phones and inform you about the plans"

Wooyoung nodded, you felt how Jongho started pulling on your hand, you needed to get out if there now "I swear I saw your car heading North" Wooyoung lied smirking, waving the two of you off with his hand "Come on, come on, it's not like Im dying, we'll see each other again" He said watching the two of you take a step back and away from him, already heading to the door.

Before Jongho and you joined the guys, he stopped in front of Seongwha who could only produced muffled sounds thanks to the piece of clothing someone had put straight into his mouth. Without thinking much, Jongho kicked his stomach as hard as he could, ignoring the way the older male groaned on the floor.

"Hope you rot in jail you piece of shit" He told him, staring straight into his eyes

"LET'S GO! THEY'RE HERE!"

San's shout got you all alarmed and running, heading outside hand in hand with Jongho. You honestly couldn't believe he was finally out and away from jail, running besides you as he held onto your hand tight. By the expression on his face he wasn't entirely recovered, yet he was using the last bit of strength in his body to pull you towards the exit with him.

None of you exchanged another word as you ran outside, your eyes landed on Wooyoung’s car and you didn’t even tell the guys anything before they started running towards it as well. Mingi pulled one of the back doors open.

“In you go guys! Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go!” He screamed louder, as you ran towards the car.

“Wooyoung left the keys in here!” San screamed as he took the spot on the driver seat

“Such a fucking hero” Yunho mumbled, getting on the back seats.You couldn’t help but smile a little at his words, appreciating how Wooyoung had turned right into a friendly person from them when he used to be the guy they hated the most.

The passenger seat was taken by Hongjoong while Mingi took the middle seat on the back seats, Jongho was quick to get inside and looked at you, patting his thighs “Let’s get out of here” He told you, euphoric smile shining on his face so bright that you almost forgot the amount of pain he was possibly in right now.

Without hesitation, you climbed inside the car as well, closing the door behind you and San didn’t even waited for you to accommodate yourself in Jongho’s lap before he sped up and started driving down the road as fast as he could, missing a couple of police officers that had came out to check the perimeter by a few seconds.

“WE DID IT! WE FUCKING DID IT GUYS!”

You laughed at San’s words, turning your head to look Jongho straight in his eyes, still not believing he was right there underneath you, with both of his arms around your body to keep you safe and sound against his body. Jongho seemed to be in a similar trance, because the chuckle that escaped his lips seemed to be as confused as yours, his brain barely processing the bunch of emotions that were going right through his brain at that moment.

“You did it” He whispered, his hand weakly tugging you in closer to him, holding the urge to kiss you just so he wouldn’t have to stand all the complaining and whining the guys would all do if the two of you suddenly started kissing.

“We did it” You corrected him, pulling him closer to your body so you could engulf Jongho in a hug that you’ve been meaning to give him all this time, resting your head against his as you left as much kisses on his cheek as you could “We got you out safe and sound, I can’t believe it” You whispered smiling, holding onto him tight.

“Let’s not celebrate this yet” Hongjoong mumbled, looking back at the two of you “We’ll spend a night at a motel I looked up where I don’t think the police will look just yet and talk about how will our plan proceed, not only you broke out of jail but every single police department is looking for us right now”

“This is not over then?” You asked glancing at him, still not letting go of Jongho completely.

“Not until we make it out of the country” Jongho said softly from behind you, his thumb trailing circles on your waist “We need to get out of Korea”
