"please help me!! open the door please!!"

Beomgyu shouted from inside. His throat was hurting now but still no one responded. He sat down on the floor, hugging his knees.

"I think we should give him some food..."

An elderly maid said while looking at one of the bodyguards.

"boss told us not to do anything"

"what if he dies because of starving ? he hasn't eaten any-"

"shut up old lady or you're gonna be the boss' next target"

He said coldly.

Beomgyu only had water to survive. It had been a whole day but Jeonghwan didn't come back home. He suddenly heard the front door opening and stood up in hopes of getting out.

The door unlocked and he saw Jeonghwan. He entered inside and closed the door.

"p-please let me go I- I won't do anything-"

"call Kang Taehyun and tell him you're sick"

"w-what ?"

"are you deaf? I said call Kang Taehyun and tell him you're sick"

"I'm not gonna do that Jeonghwan !! let me out of this room!! You can't do this-"

Jeonghwan held Beomgyu's face harshly and gritted his teeth.

"you know what happens if you don't"

Beomgyu struggled to breathe and choked on his tears.

"call him or else"

"I- I will..."

Jeonghwan gave him his phone. Beomgyu opened it with shaking hands. He called Taehyun and put the phone near his ear.

"speaker!"

Beomgyu hesitated but he had no other choice. He put it on speaker. Taehyun picked up the call immediately making Jeonghwan scoff.

"hyung?? are you alright?? where are you?? You didn't pick up any of my calls-"

"I- I'm fine Taehyun..."

Jeonghwan glared at Beomgyu. Beomgyu gulped, trying his best to keep his sobs and crying noises inside.

"hyung what happened-"

"I'm just sick... it's... it's a really bad cold so-"

"do you want me to get you something??"

"n-no... I'm fine... I have everything here..."

"oh...okay-"

"I'll hang up now... b-bye"

"bye hyung..."

Beomgyu hoped Taehyun wouldn't hang up. He wanted to hear his voice again. But Jeonghwan cut it and took the phone away from him. He stepped back a little and Beomgyu pushed him, running out of the room.

Jeonghwan was stronger than him and he knew it but he wanted to get out of here. He didn't realise his ankle was still hurt and fell on the floor. He crawled towards the front door as fast as he could but Jeonghwan grabbed his foot from behind, making him fall onto his chest.

"aa- it hurts!"

Beomgyu cried louder as Jeonghwan was holding his sprained ankle. His vision blurred and he felt suffocated as he saw the front door slowly disappearing from his sight. Jeonghwan dragged him with both his feet, back inside the room.
