yeosang finally found his way into the kitchen, he was thankful that no one had came in as he heads straight to the door, thinking that san may have already unlocked the doors but luck wasn't on his side as it still wouldn't budge
he aims the revolver he stole from yunho towards the lock when he hears someone coming, he thinks fast and aims the gun at the person, finding out that it was one of the servants, the woman raises her hands up
"don't you fucking dare open your mouth." yeosang warns and he turns to the lock of the door, doing his best to aim but as he pulls the trigger, nothing happened "just great." he mutters, checking it out and seeing that there were no bullets left he turns to the maid who smirked
"he's in here!"
yeosang went into panic mode, quickly grabing the ceramic teapot on the counter and bashed it over her head, not only burning her with the hot water but himself as well as it splashed all the way to his forearms, seeping through his shirt, he hisses but pulls through just as he looks up to check if the cameras were on, he sees the red light from it, thankful that san had gotten to the security room but his face fell flat when the doors were still locked, he throws the revolver on top of the sleeping maid's body as he stumbles out of the kitchen, he needs to find another way out before someone gets to him.
san was ecstatic, proud of himself when he finally cracked the codes and managed to turn on the cameras, now all he needed was to disarm the locks but his celebration was short lived when hongjoong and wooyoung came into the room, surprised to see him there
"what are you doing in here?" hongjoong asks despite knowing why his baby brother was there and he sees yeosang on the screen, scrambling out of the kitchen with one of the maids who was on the floor, incapacitated and it answers the question
"you've been helping him this whole time." hongjoong deadpans just as san takes hold of a fire extinguisher
"don't you dare," hongjoong warns but san just throws it into the monitors, completely shattering them
"that's my fucking husband, leave him alone." san growls but hongjoong grabs him by his neck, pinning him down on the the desk and slowly cutting off his air circulation
"hyung, no!" wooyoung pushes his older brother off the youngest, helping him as he tries to catch his breath
"hyung, you have to help me," san croaks out, clinging to wooyoung on the floor "he's everything to me, please." he pleads as wooyoung holds him
"frankly, we can't let you do that san." before they can react, hongjoong smashes a lamp into the back of his head, knocking him unconscious in wooyoung's hold "what the fuck hyung!"
"hongjoong," seonghwa says, tone full of disappointment as he watches his husband handcuff the poor boy into the bedposts
"we're trying to bring him back to us, to be a family again,"
seonghwa tries to talk some sense into him, it wasn't a surprise that san was close to seonghwa, everyone can see how different their bond was, hell, everyone knew that san loved seonghwa more than his brothers, apart from wooyoung who was his other half.
but their heart to heart came to a halt when mingi had come back up to tell them that everything has been unlocked, doors, windows, even the gates and that yeosang can get out of the property any minute now and they didn't have much of a choice as hongjoong ordered him to tell the others to guard the main doors.
they were searching the whole house, unknown to them that yeosang was outside, clinging to the walls as he contemplates whether or not he should try to climb down
"joong, we all knew he was going to pick out that card," he hears seonghwa's voice
"he doesn't have much of a choice hwa, tradition is tradition and we all know how much he grew disdain to that." he now hears hongjoong argue
"he's simply afraid of the truth, didn't you even think about that." yeosang furrows his eyebrows as he inches closer to the window and he closes his eyes after he saw that san was unconscious, hands tied to the bed post as his older brothers argued
"san just has to accept the truth, he's meant to lead the family in the next generation not run away from it." yeosang bit on the inside of his cheek, he can't believe the man he'd married had been this secretive, all he thought san just had a dysfunctional family, he was starting to feel unsure of he can still trust his so-called husband after this whole fiasco
"but he's hated this whole pact thing ever since he grew some sense."
pact?
yeosang just grew more curious "he's the only one who's seen yonghwan in that piano, joong, kim yonghwan had chosen him to lead the family." yeosang was starting to get the picture, slowly but surely and then the conversation stopped, yeosang peered through the edge of the roof
"it's now or never, twink." he whispers to himself as he jumps over the edge, he didn't care anymore, he felt pain surge throughout his body at the impact but he has to get up and keep running, he didn't want to end up dead at the ripe age of 24.
he runs through the garden where their wedding was just held, tripping on one of the chairs as he was still a bit dizzy from the fall, he bit his tongue as he felt the skin of his knee open up, he didn't even realize that he had a wound on his knee as the adrenaline coursed through him, he kept running, doing his best to get away from the mansion and trying to keep himself stable.
he sees the family's stable and he decided to hole up in there, surely no one would think he would ever get there, he opens the door and was hit by the smell of the animals which causes him to scrunch up his nose and cough a little at the strong odor, he had his hand up to his heart as he runs further inside only to collide with another person.
he groans, as he pulls himself up "junyoung?" he blinks a couple of times at the realization that it was only yunho's son "thank god," he stands up, full of relief as he approaches him for help
"i know this is all a bit scary but-" he freezes when the young boy holds a gun to him "i can't even trust the kids." yeosang thought before pulls at the trigger which causes yeosang to fly back into the stable's walls, leaving a decent sized wound on to his shoulder
but that wasn't his only injury, it only occurred to him a little late that his arm had gotten caught in one of the nails that were haphazardly unhinged which tore through his shirt, leaving a deep gash on his forearm but he had to bite back the scream he desperately want to release
he didn't want anyone to know where he is, he looks at junyoung who was astonished that the gun actually worked and with all his strength and pent up anger, he marches up to the little boy and punched him right in the eye, knocking him unconscious into a pile of hay
"little fucking piece of shit!"
