'On position?'-the voice echoed through the ear-piece Hyunjin was wearing and he could only roll his eyes,
'Don't make it sound like we're some mafia-yes by the way, I'm on my position.'-he replied quietly, as he took a swift turn towards the bar counter, walking through the crowd of messy drunkards, whilst holding onto a tray and his face covered with a mask,
'Didn't think you'd have it in yourself to be a barman.'- a mocking voice reached his ears and it made him squint his eyes, trying to keep the profanity at the tip of the tongue on the bay,
'Told ya, he'd suit the role of one of the finest people visiting the club- a dancer or someone rich.'-Changbin's sweet voice echoed next and Hyunjin for once, forgot of his temper, before shaking his head and mixing up the concoction he was supposed to,
'Minho hyung, Changbin hyung, can you please both shut up-it's difficult to act when you're speaking in the mics continuously.'-Jeongin spoke, his voice strained and quiet over the loud music blaring through the speakers,
'Guys- oh...'
...
BANG.
'YOU-AHH-'
Uh, not so sorry man. You smell awful.'
...
'Did I just hear Minho hyung murder someone?'-Jeongin spoke seconds later, and it was only when they heard Jisung's voice, strained and probably retching, did the said male spoke,
'Nothing much knocked out their guy who was making it difficult to get to the cameras.'
'Minho, do you see anything?'-Chan interrupted before either of them could remark,
'Hmm, I'm looking through them- alright there's a reservation for room 530 throughout the night, the rest have been booked over hour basis, and there's this part completely empty- hold up I see them-
There's the guy- the lean one I told you about, he's sitting on the second floor, which is- Come to think of it, it's empty. Chan hyung, I think it's the one. Take positions, you all. I'll let you know when the other man enters. Ji, focus on the man whilst I push aside the body.'
'Okay everyone, Seungmin, I.N- I need you both to start dancing and mix up with the crowd, take it slow, and roam around, Jisung will tell you the position of the guards and when you gotta do your work. Hyunjin, get ready with the drinks and add the tablets accordingly. Changbin is with me, Minho, let us know when it's the right time.'
Neither of them spoke, only small hums reaching their ears and Hyunjin was quick to look up from his place behind the bar, at the man who was sitting on the empty couch, manspreading whilst checking his phone,
Hyunjin quickened his pace, pouring in the shots in the glasses before taking out the pouch from his pocket,
Adding a tablet each to every glass, he stirred the contents, making sure the remnants had dissolved leaving behind a slight fizz and a couple of bubbles.
He was about to head over to the man and his bodyguards who were standing around him except he stopped in his steps, suddenly turning over and around and sliding the tray underneath the counter, before picking up a random glass and beginning to wipe it.
He heard it, ofcourse, the footsteps reaching up the floor.
Over him, the camera glinted the red dot, focused on the man sitting and he was sure both Jisung and Minho were watching everything.
He slowly shifted closer to the railing, the edge from where he could clearly make out the blurred figures of Jeongin and Seungmin, moving through the crowd, drinks in hands, and from the corner of his eye, he could make out the shadows looming nearby the washroom area,
He knew it was Chan and Changbin waiting out to carry what they were supposed to.
...
'They in, Seungmin and I.N, NOW-'-Jisung's voice reached in through the earpiece, and with bated breath, Hyunjin watched as both the said boys walked over to the people climbing up the stairs,
He missed the ones in the lead, except he saw as Seungmin twirled the omega around, Jeongin knowingly stumbling over his feet and against the two men dressed in black,
He hoped they got them right, as the guards continued to fuss around except he watched them walk over to the washroom area once Jeongin and Seungmin bowed and walked away,
For once, both the males looked up right into his eyes and gave him a thumbs up and he sighed in relief,
Still looming beside the railing, he picked up the ice-beater, continuing to crush the ice knowing he had to do something to look occupied, and only a few minutes later he caught on the sight of two males, covered head to toe and black-just what the bodyguards were wearing, and looking around with their faces covered half with their hair, and purposely looking down and away.
'We're ready.'-one of them spoke quietly and Hyunjin heard it through the earpiece,
Changbin and Chan, having taken the position of the guards, he watched them climb up the stairs and the former looked up for once, merging in with the bodyguard looks because of both of theirs build,
He nodded tentatively to both before turning over and glancing at the camera,
'Caught on anything? Jisung? Minho?'
Hyunjin frowned before turning around,
His eyes went over to the place where the man had been sitting and that was when he saw them,
He had been so busy staring down, he completely forgot to see the male who had entered before, and who was being followed by the guards,
The man sat there in front of the previously manspreading one, and beside him was-
It was Felix.
Hyunjin could recognize the blob of blond locks anywhere, with them reaching down to the shoulders of the omega, he knew- he was sure it was Felix but-
Why wasn't he moving or reacting?
'What the fuck is going on?'-Minho's voice echoed through the earpiece Hyunjin watched Chan and Changbin arrive and both of them haltered in their steps, considering they were directly facing Felix whilst the male's back was facing Hyunjin,
Hyunjin watched Changbin grit his teeth, Chan clenched his fists but both of them continued to stand there along with the other bodyguards,
Since it was silent here as compared to the first floor, Hyunjin for once strained his ears trying to listen,
His own earpiece was covered by his hair, something he was glad for considering seconds later he heard himself being called for,
'Hey you-come here! Serve the drinks!' -the man from previously spoke, and Hyunjin had to grit his teeth to hold back the profanity at the tip of his tongue as he nodded,
'Coming right up, sir.'
He continued to put in cubes in the previously prepared drinks, before taking out the pouch once more and deliberately adding another pill each to of them.
Fuck you all.
Holding onto the first tray, he made his way over to the males, for once catching on their words,
'Is the money there? All set?'
'You think I'll lie? I'm a businessman and I speak in business. The deal's as mentioned, yeah?'
'I'll have to check the money.'
The men silenced once Hyunjin reached down to settle their drinks in front of them,
In doing so, he caught a closer look at Felix's face and he nearly dropped the glass he was holding,
The boy- he looked anything but alive-
Hyunjin gulped lightly, handing out the drink to the man with a scar who sat beside Felix and he recognized it as his scum of a father,
He stood back up, eyes intently gazing at Felix who looked completely out of it, slightly parted lips, unfocused merely gazing eyes, there was a cut on his left cheek, not to mention, a sunken look on his face, and yet despite everything, he seemed to be completely dazed.
He didn't even look into Hyunjin's eyes once the beta leaned down to try and offer him a drink,
'This shit won't have anything.'-Felix's 'father' grumbled, gulping down his glass before he spoke,
'I'll have to count the money.'
'No money counting allowed before I get to check the boy.'
'What do you mean check? It was the simple deal, you get the boy, I get the money.'
'Now now- Mr. Lee, will I have to remind you that I'll be taking the boy for my personal- benefits? I need to know if he's worth the money you're paying, what if he's used or well defective?'
Hyunjin had to grip the plate for he couldn't control the anger surging through his veins at the statement.
'Get me another, and them-'-the man who had spoken previously ordered, mentioning the bodyguards standing on the sidelines.
Hyunjin nodded, taking a step back before he glanced at Chan and Changbin, whilst the former was looking at Felix with a certain emotion in his eyes, Changbin had looked away,
'Now speak it-I get to have a taste of the boy and you get all the money.'
'I don't trust you, I'll send two of my guards with you, more than a check and I'm sending off the deal to the other bidder. People have been lining up for him. '
The man smirked, raising up his hands as he gulped down the remaining of his wine,
He stood up,
'Come on boy.'
Hyunjin was quick to glance at Chan, who was looking rather taken aback as well,
Their original plans had been to drown the men in drinks, and should they find Felix, they were going to take him away silently, except it seemed the original won't work-
'Alright guys, listen to me. We heard everything, and Hyunjin, you're supposed to speak next. The man will ask you where the room is, and tell him, does he needs a room-say you'll have to call the manager; he'll tell you he's got one booked but you'll say there's an issue with the booked one, and that you were told of his presence. You take out your phone, act like you're talking to the manager and I'll come. I've got the keys, and Chan hyung and Changbin, I need you both to follow the man and you'll know what to do. Hyunjin, during that time, you'll serve the rest of the guards the drinks, make sure to add just enough pills that they're poisoned, and even if they die, I mean, I don't really care at this point.'
Hyunjin who was supposed to be making his way over to the counter, halted when he heard himself being called,
Biting his lip, he took a breath before turning over,
'Get me the keys to the room.'
'I'm afraid I'll have to call the manager for that sir, the previously booked room has some issues. I was told of your presence, and also told to tell you to wait for the manager since I don't have the keys with me to the other ones.'
'Call him then.'-the man grumbled and Hyunjin was quick to pull out his phone, act like he was finding the number, and then he continued to talk as if the manager was literally speaking from the other side,
While they waited for Minho to arrive, the man had crouched in front of Felix and was holding his face in his hands, moving his finger over the cut decorating the omega's cheek,
'A fine omega indeed you are, shall I bath you in luxury, I'm sure you'll make the best slave I've ever had.'-he spoke and Hyunjin could only hurry back to the counter, murmuring quietly thanks to the music, for Chan and Changbin to stay put for a while for they looked ready to pounce.
He got the drinks he had laid out for the guards,
He walked over to them one by one, offering them the glasses and as soon as he arrived in front of Chan and Changbin, he saw the way they were holding back. Both of them.
Footsteps reached their ears, alerting them of Minho's presence,
'Minho managed the real manager, don't worry.'-Jisung's voice echoed through the earpiece,
'You the manager? Get the keys to the room I booked.'
'That one is under some work since the previous couple did rather- I have even a better one for you, I'll lead the way, sir.' -Minho spoke with a sickening smile that left Hyunjin breathing out shakily,
He knew it was anything but a smile, the meaning it had hidden behind it- dreadful.
'My men will follow you.'-Felix's father spoke, motioning his hands towards Chan and Changbin it seemed the pills were beginning to work for he didn't really show any change in expression upon seeing their faces,
Either he was a fool to not know the faces of his bodyguards or simply under the influence of the sleeping pills Hyunjin had added to the drink,
'So will mine, just so I'm sure yours don't try to do anything behind my back.'
'Alright, please follow me.'-Minho spoke, paying attention on himself and Hyunjin watched the man pull Felix to stand up, the boy slowly moving in his spot as if not having control of his body and that's when Hyunjin realized it-
Felix was drugged.
He watched as the omega was pulled to his feet, forced to follow the man who now had his hands around his waist, and Chan and Changbin were quick to go behind, another two men of the man following as well.
Hyunjin sighed before he glared at the now half-drunk father of the boy,
He was quick to fetch the bottle, ready to get him more drunk if possible only to beat the shit out of him, shall he get the chance.
Chan had only one thought in his mind as he followed the man who was holding onto Felix in rather a harsh grip,
Murder. Blood. Killing-
The boy was stumbling every now and then, unaware of his surroundings, and his condition-
Nevertheless, despite everything all Chan wanted to do was strangle the man with his own hands and hurt him till he pleads for death to come-
It seemed similar thoughts were going through Changbin's head because considering the way he kept on breathing heavily, it was the rage he was carrying.
Minho led them to the corridor right behind the bar counter, red lights covering the place making it eery and very much irritating, and Chan knew they were supposed to go with the mood except he felt anything but anger.
As they took the first turn, he watched Minho take out a pair of keys from his pocket, slowly unlocking the door,
He moved aside, the man was quick to make his way inside and Chan watched him push Felix back to the mattress, watching as the boy's body bounced atop the sheets before he lay still,
He watched the man get rid of his coat before turning around,
'Alright, stand guard yeah? I'll be quick.'-he smirked before he laughed and the door was shut in front of them,
Minho glanced at him and so did Changbin, and Chan closed his eyes, forcing them open seconds later,
'Now.'
It happened in a blur, with both Minho and Changbin taking charge of the two bodyguards that had followed them, surprising them enough that they weren't able to react on time.
Chan picked up the keys, slowly sliding them in the lock, and heard music play louder seconds later which only made him thank Jisung internally,
The camera still glinted in their direction, right above them in the corridor and he gave a thumbs up to the boy who was watching them from the other side,
As Minho strangled the guard in a chokehold, whilst pushing him against the wall with a pretty sinister smirk on his face, Changbin made sure to silence the other once before taking him down with fury-filled punches.
He himself turned to the door, kicking it open and watching as the man, who had been hovering over Felix turned to face him,
'I'm not over yet- THE FUCK-'
Chan was quick to advance, his already furious stare being more aggravated once he saw the shirt that lay torn apart on the bed, Felix's eyes closed, the boy probably unconscious,
He continued to strangle the man, choking him down before pulling him up by his neck and throwing his fist forward,
He heard a crack but it only made him seethe more, thoughts of what would have happened had Minho not been lucky enough to overhear in the afternoon-
The what-ifs played the role of oil to the fire, leaving him in a state of frenzy, and before he knew it, all he was doing was throwing down hits, hearing repetitive cracks,
For once, Chan didn't know what was happening around him except the memory of seeing this man's hands over Felix-
It seemed like hours passed and yet Chan didn't care, he was ready to throw another hit except he felt himself being held by someone,
'Hyung- stop it! You're going to kill him-'
It was Changbin, and even though the male was holding onto Chan with his utmost strength, it was ever so difficult as Chan managed to throw a kick this once,
'He's not moving hyung- you don't want to paint your hands with someone's blood, especially of a scum like him. Leave him, Jisung has called the cops. Check Felix-he needs you.'
The last words seemed to snap him out of his frenzy state and he stared down at his hands, covered in blood, and then at the man, who lay motionless, face completely hard to recognize now that he was a mess of blood and torn skin, teeth broken, nose barely seeming like a nose except a bunch of broken bones and torn up muscles.
He let Changbin leave him, only to pull at the sheets and wipe off his hands before his gaze landed on Felix,
He reached out to the boy, halting a few seconds before he glanced at the bathroom opposite,
He hurried to wash his hands, making sure to use an ample amount of soap not wanting to touch the pure boy with hands covered in a scum's blood,
He was still enraged, except the sight of Felix managed to calm him down,
He reached out to the boy, shaky hands tapping at his cheek, trying to get him to wake up except Felix's didn't budge.
Chan checked his pulse, clearly there. It seemed the boy was under the influence of drugs and unconscious.
He was about to pick him up when the door was thrown open once more and Jisung merged, immediately taking off the hoodie he wore, leaving himself in a shirt, he handed it to Chan who was quick to throw it over Felix's head, making him wear it before picking up the boy bridal style.
'I've called the cops, they're out arresting the bastard of a father.'
Chan remained quiet, glancing at the boy in his arms, he didn't wish to know what Felix must have been through the past three days and quietly made his way out,
Minho was there, wiping off his hands, which clearly, held a trace of blood.
He glanced at Chan with a menacing smirk which vanished as soon as he saw Felix- he clearly snapped out and then shifted to a side, later following him from behind, along with a huffing Changbin and worried Jisung.
Out in the main area, the cops had already arrested all the bodyguards, all of whom were half dazed, the effect of pills Hyunjin put in their drinks.
As Chan looked at the man, who was supposed to be the father of the boy he held in his arms, with a contented sigh he saw him bleeding through his nose, not to mention the black eye he had,
His gaze drifted to Hyunjin who simply passed a small smile before rushing forward to glance at Felix,
'Oh you poor thing.'-he whispered, caressing the unconscious boy's face before shifting aside,
'Seungmin's ready with the car, Jeongin's there, I told them to remain behind. Go ahead.'-Hyunjin motioned,
'You all?'
'We'll remain here, someone has to speak of everything, and us four will do the work.'
Chan nodded, carefully walking down the stairs, he saw Seungmin, who had been waiting by the stairs,
The rest remained up, being interrogated by the cops but Chan couldn't care less as he walked outside the bar, with Seungmin hot on his heels and found Jeongin leaning beside the car, ready to rush forward except he silenced once he saw the fellow omega in Chan's arms.
He opened the door to the backseat, the alpha passing him a tired smile which he returned greatly, before taking a seat in the passenger's.
'City hospital?'
Chan shook his head,
'Bin's apartment.'
Letting Felix's head lean onto his chest, as he held the boy tight in his arms, he hummed a broken tune he faintly remembered, his grip tightening ever-so-slightly, not wanting to ever let go.
