Second P.O.V.
Right after that quick session Sangwoo decided that you'll make dinner a lot later, since it wore him out.
As you noted that you can go make the food while he sleeps he refused. Apparently he has to watch you so you don't slit your throat or something to try to escape.
So you were forced into the bed with him where he fell asleep within ten minutes.
For ten more you were just laying there, waiting for him to be deep asleep, and it wasn't futile.
Once you've picked up on a pattern of his breaths you slowly got out of his touch and stood up. Oh how you wanted to kick him.
You looked down on him for a solid minute before making your way quietly downstairs.
The teen must've noticed the note by now, so you're ready to open the door to the police when they arrive.
As you set your bare foot on the floorboards of the ground floor you suddenly remembered someone...
As much as you hate him, you wouldn't wish being taken as a live hostage by Sangwoo upon him.
You find the kindness in your heart to save him.
You silently made your way to the basement, pulled off the boxes on top of the hatch and opened it carefully. You made your way down the wooden stairs after closing the hatch so if Yoonbum starts complaining Oh won't hear it.
As you got into Bum's field of view he huddled into a corner of the room and looked petrified. As if you're death itself coming for him.
"Calm down, I'm here to get you out." You said with annoyance lacing your tongue. It's amazing how fast he can annoy you.
At that he relaxed for a second before putting his guard up again.
"Stay away from me!" He raised his voice to make you stop in your tracks, "IF YOU JUST AS LITTLE AS TOUCH ME ILL... ILL BITE YOUR FACE OFF!" he continued screaming.
Good thing that you closed that door.
"Look I just wanna help you. Sangwoo clearly doesn't love you, he only kept you alive since you resemble his mother... Come with me." You explained, but Yoonbum didn't take kindly to that.
He went from frightened to strict. As if you slapped his mother in front of him.
"You," he began with a lower tone, "how dare you say that. Sangwoo cares about me! Sangwoo loves me!! He's only trying to manipulate you into trusting him so he could get rid of you as soon as possible in order to be with me without anyone in the way!!!" He slowly raised his voice.
His hands were shaking, his pupils were dilated, he was almost fuming out the mouth.
Gross...
As you noticed that he was slowly trying to get up you backed away with your hands in the air in a defensive manner.
"Dude you're so weird... Well, you're gonna get dragged out either way so-"
The thought of being away from Oh seemed to really touch his heart in a painful way.
What happened to him... From the start he seemed at least bearable, but now... He's lost. Delusional. He needs just as much professional help as Oh does.
He looks worse too. He has huge bags under his eyes, he's scrawny - malnourished even - and his skin looks grayish.
Keeping him neglected, starving, bored and thirsty in this dark and dusty basement must have a huge toll on his mental health...
Before he was able to fully stand up and charge towards you, you backed away and swiftly made your way out of the basement without any harm immediately closing the hatch behind you.
You're gonna have to tell the police that there is an unstable man in the basement... They better use some protective dog gear when dealing with him.
All of the sudden the distant noise of sirens could be heard, which made you euphoric.
You ran to the door and tried to open it, but Sangwoo is too smart. The doors have an automatic lock.
At that discovery the euphoria was overhauled by anxiety. There also was tossing and turning heard from upstairs - Oh's bedroom.
The sirens got closer and then when they reached your street, they silenced. Probably because the house you're in doesn't seem like it has any activity inside and the street is also very dead.
You pressed your ear against the door and couldn't help but to smile.
Faint steps against a hard surface could be heard, then a creak of the front gate, then more steps and... A knock!
"Hello? This is the police, we're here because of a report involving kidnapping so-" before the young sounding officer got to finish you interrupted him.
"YES HELP ME, THE DOOR IS LOCKED." You had a hint of urgency in your voice as you whisper yelled loud enough so they could hear you.
The officer seemed to be taken aback for a second before crouching down to open the doggie door and peeking in.
You dropped to your knees to face him, your knees getting bruised in the process, but you couldn't feel any pain, the only thing that you could focus on is,
"Seungbae?!" Your eyes were wide as you faced the officer. He seemed way more surprised than you, tears wealing up in his eyes as he scanned your features.
"Y/N!" He yelled before immediately turning to the rest of the police squad, "GET THIS DOOR OPENED, NOW!" He yelled at them before standing up and backing away from the door.
You did so too, you're not stupid enough to interfere with their work and get hurt in the process.
The rest of the force seemed a bit hesitant at first but obliged eventually.
You could hear the steps coming back to the door and with one simple swoop they broke the code on the door, which surprisingly made the lock give out.
Seungbae swung the door open and immediately tackled you in a hug. It wasn't aggressive enough to push you to the ground but still strong enough to steal your breath for a few seconds.
After a solid minute Seungbae backed away, showing you his rare smile, which made your heart soften.
You already feel like you're back home...
Seungbae scanned your form and couldn't help but to notice your missing tooth, a few new scars and bruises littering your body which was skinnier and more dull than he remebered. Your smile also looked a little empty. You overall seem worn out...
An officer behind you seemed shocked that they actually found you and as he came up to you, putting his hand on your shoulder you turned to him but suddenly heard liquid dripping onto the wooden floorboards.
You looked and Seungbae again, noticing that,
Sangwoo had driven a knife into his side.
He acted fast though, pulling out a pepper spray out of his pocket and spraying the fuck out of his eyes. Oh let go of the knife, leaving it in Seungbae, clutching his eyes while he groaned in pain.
Soon enough the second officer pulled out a taser and didn't spare a single second before using it on Sangwoo.
As the shocks ran through Oh his eyes were glaring a hole through you. His eyes piercing yours as his body convulsed and spasmed until he fell to the ground, unable to control his body.
The unnamed officer ran up to him, putting handcuffs on him as soon as possible and dragging him to the car with the help of a third unnamed officer who you've totally seen before but can't really remember him.
When you noted that Sangwoo is secured in the vehicle unable to harm anyone, you turned to Seungbae.
He held up his walkie-talkie mumbling 10-14, 10-72 and 10-65, requesting an ambulance, before turning to you with a little pained smile.
He walked up to you, one of his arms swinging around your should as he spoke with a sigh, "alright, are you okay Y/n? Is there anyone else in this house?" He asked with a bit breathless voice. He's clearly struggling to keep his composure up with the newly acquired wound. The car with Sangwoo already drove off, leaving you two and a third team of officers at the scene waiting for an ambulance.
"I'm fine right now... Will you be okay though?" You asked and he nodded in order to push away any of your worries.
"There is another person actually. He is uncooperative in the basement, I suggest the other officers drag him out."
"What's his status?" He asked as he looked towards one of the police cars, signaling with his hand for the force to come inside.
"Alive, delusional, malnourished, possibly hurt." You listed, eyeing Seungbae's wound.
It's better that you don't pull the knife out...
"What's up, oh! Well isn't that Y/n! The whole station was worried sick about you." One of the officers spoke enthusiastically as if you haven't been kidnapped.
But his smile vanished once his eyes fell upon the knife in Seungbae's side. As he was about to address it, the hurt male spoke.
"He says that there is an another male in the basement. Might be dangerous so I suggest you both take care of him." He pat your shoulder, "show them where the basement is, I'll just stand here if anything, okay?"
You have him a nod before leading them towards the hatch that leads to the basement. You pulled away the boxes and with ease opened the cover.
"He's down there... He hates me so I'd prefer to stay up here." You stepped away from the entrance to let the officers take care of it.
"No problem Y/n, keep an eye on Seungbae for us, 'kay? We'll deal with this brat." The enthusiastic officer reassured you before gently ruffling your hair and going in with his partner following.
You watched as Seungbae sat down on the floor, clearly losing energy by the second. He's a very brave man though, even in hopeless situations he can power through anything that comes his way.
Sometimes you're jealous of his determination, sometimes you put effort into being like him, sometimes-
"LET GO OF ME YOU PIGS!" sudden yells interrupted your thoughts. Seungbae quickly glanced at you with wide eyes and you just shrugged in return.
"SANGWOO," he yelled as if Sangwoo would come to shake the 'bad guys' off of him, but nobody came, "SANGWOO THEYRE TRYING TO HURT ME!"
You saw as they dragged him up the stairs and with quite a bit of resistence from the scrawny male they even managed to bring him all the way to their police vehicle and throw him into the backseat. They deserve a raise for that.
"Wow..." You heard the hurt male sigh, "poor dude has brain damage." He chuckled.
You returned him a sincere smile as you made your way towards him, sitting beside him as you watched yet another police car drive off, leaving you two alone still waiting for the ambulance.
