Jung Hwa was right, Jong Woo decided. He had a thick head.

When Jong Woo woke up, his head throbbing as expected, it was clear he wasn't meant to be conscious—yet.

Howled over the shoulder of one of his kidnappers like some sac, they were still in the process of moving him. He could hear their footsteps against the plaster and it was a bit chilly. They must be outside, walking across the town to god knows where.

Jong Woo didn't stir, it was better when they didn't know he was already awake.

Injuries? Just a headache nothing serious.

Attackers? At least 4 men, 5 if the injured counted.

Weapons? None.

Destination? Unknown.

"He would have died anyway, stop whining," ordered the man who was carrying Jong Woo.

"But..!"

"I said stop! You want to burden the leader with a cripple?" His voice was cold and unforgiving.

"No but..."

"Good. Then I will not mention your questionable behaviour tonight."

"I did not..."
