Time || YeonGyu AU✔

chapter 4

          "Come on", Soobin said as he grabbed the boy and dragged him out of the room hastily, "We're going"

          Huening Kai gaped at him with an even more puzzled look now, his jaw slack open and his brows raised and curved as the male took him outside without any explanation and brought both of them over to the car, "Where?"

          "We need to see Park Jimin", he finally blew away his confusion a bit as he left the boy in the front passenger's seat and ran to the driver's one himself, "The scientist who cheated on his colleagues and stole the formulas"

          Huening Kai blinked several times as he tried to process the information, his hand gripping the door handle subconsciously, "You mean Yeonjun's father's friend?"

          Soobin didn't say anything more, he just nodded his head before pulling the door open and placing himself inside. Huening Kai didn't lose any second as well and sat in the car, his heart beating loudly as excitement sprouted under his chest. His hands reached for the seatbelt to attach it to the car while the other male started the engine and raced forward, wheels revolving under the vehicle at high speed in the process.

          They didn't say anything to Taehyun since the male seemed too exhausted and needed more rest, so it was just the two of them who visited Park Jimin that night.

          As it turned out after cheating on Namjoon and his scientists' group and stealing the formulas, because of the project's illegality and Namjoon's bad intentions, Jimin only stayed alive because Seokjin asked Namjoon not to harm him. He and Seokjin had been very close friends for a long period before that accident could happen and Seokjin couldn't watch his friend getting killed by someone he didn't even hold a hint of love for. Seokjin had been with Namjoon only because of his power and money while the latter was head over heels in love with him. He was literally the only person Namjoon ever loved, so he released Jimin and warned him not to stand in his way ever again or else he wouldn't hesitate to pull the trigger anymore.

           "Do you know where Namjoon could take Yeonjun?", Huening Kai asked him in a hopeful voice and Jimin could feel his muscles stiffening at once at the mentioned name, "Any possible ideas are important to us"

          Jimin flickered his gaze down to his hands in his lap as he fiddled with his fingers nervously. There were a few droplets of cold sweat visible on his forehead, and even his hands were sweaty too from a horrible anxiety. He didn't want to let them down, because Yeonjun was the son of his old friend, Jihoon and he would never be able to forgive himself if he let anything bad happen to him now, but on the other side, he got into much trouble in the past after he stole Yeonjun's formulas from Namjoon and his colleagues and brought them to Jihoon, who was the police officer and could investigate this case since Namjoon was a dangerous person and he would be even more powerful if he managed to create whatever he had always been dreaming of. He got almost killed because of those events in the past and if he helped Namjoon's enemies this time too, he wouldn't manage to survive him anymore.

          "If I say anything and Namjoon finds out about it, he will kill me this time", he spoke in a nervous manner as he returned his anxious eyes to the males in front of him.

          Soobin heaved a heavy breath through his nose, trying to suppress his anger back in his body, but he could feel how he was slowly losing his patience every time Jimin would say no to them or remain silent. He knew every minute was essential now for saving Yeonjun and he couldn't let anything happen to him.

           "Listen", he spoke in a forced calm voice as he tried to maintain his composure, "Namjoon may kill him anytime. You had a good relationship with his father and are you seriously leaving his son in danger now?"

          Jimin felt guilt washing over him at his words, but it wasn't easy to help them when his own life could be put at risk by revealing something so important.

           "Soobin hyung is right", Kai also tried to assure, knowing Soobin would explode soon if Jimin refused them again, "We will send the guards to you who will protect you, but you have to tell us the location now"

          They waited for him, and minutes passed like that, with the heavy tension flying through the air. The silence was unbearable and Soobin was trying his best to hold himself back from doing something terrible, but he still lost the last bits of his sanity in the end and growled beastly before leaping up from his seat and pulling the gun from his waistband.

           His fingers grasped the grip tightly as he stormed to the terrorized boy, whose wide eyes were watching him aiming his gun at his forehead, rushes of terror swimming in his harshly beating heart and abusing his chest with its every hit, "Speak or I'm gonna be the one who'll finish you off right here instead of that motherfucker Namjoon"

          "Hyung, stop", Kai yelled as he got on his feet hastily and attempted to drag him away from the shaking boy, but Soobin pushed him away immediately with a malicious growl. His Yeonjun was in danger and it wasn't time for being calm, he knew.

          "I'm counting to three. Either you say what I need before I'm done or I'm blowing your brains out. One!.."

          "Hyung, stop!", Huening Kai tried to stop him again, but vainly since Soobin kept piercing through the older's panicked eyes and they both could hear the sound of his teeth chattering in terror while his face had gone completely white.

          "Two!"

          "Okay!", Jimin yelled all of a sudden, causing the younger's hand to loosen around the grip, but his icy eyes didn't soften a bit, "I'll tell you"

          The black-haired male swallowed heavily as he lifted down his gun and straightened his body, his sharp eyes staring down sternly at the anxious male on the armchair. It brought unexplainable relief to Huening Kai, who was standing behind them, and he let out a deep sigh as he felt a heavy weight being lifted up from his shoulders, but on the other side, Jimin was still hesitating. He kept swallowing intensely, his mouth opening and shutting repeatedly as he couldn't bring himself to utter a word.

          "Hurry up", Soobin ordered sternly, but he looked much calmer now than before.

          Jimin bit his bottom lip as he gripped both handles of his armchair in a nervous manner, contracting his muscles and making himself as small as possible. "T-there's one place w-where he always used to take his hostages in the past. He probably has Yeonjun locked up in there"

          "Fine. Tell us the address"
