❝hey, has anyone seen taeyong and jaehyun?❞ sicheng questioned the moment he got down to the living room.
taeil shrugged as he was seated on the sofa, being five feet away from doyoung who's at the other end. ❝probably stayed at the bar.❞
sicheng sighed, actually getting worried even with them telling him that they are fine since they are together. making his way to the kitchen in hopes of getting his mind off from the two that haven't come home yet, a cry from one of the kids' greeted him.
rushing to renjun who's taking care of the triplets, sicheng carried taehyun up and rocked him softly to stop him from crying. ❝what's wrong with him?❞
renjun sighed, ❝he had a nightmare.❞
sicheng then hushed the baby down and decided to talk to him about it. ❝taehyun? was it that scary?❞
the baby nodded, earning worried looks from his brothers and renjun. ❝s-someone shot d-daddy..❞
just as sicheng opened his mouth to say something, a bright voice echoed inside the kitchen that caught everyone's attention. ❝good morning everyone!❞
looking up to that person, sicheng can't even put himself to be calm even after seeing that bright smile curved on his lover's lips. he knows it's just a nightmare but hearing it from one of the kids' worried sicheng more. ❝yuta.❞
the japanese then wrapped his arms around sicheng's waist and gave him a kiss on the forehead. ❝what is it my sicheng? what's with the sad face?❞
❝i'm worried about taeyong and jaehyun.❞
yuta only chuckled and went to fix sicheng's messed up hair. ❝they are at the bar sicheng, there is no need to worry.❞ yuta the put his attention to the crying baby sicheng is carrying. ❝aw, why is cool bean crying?❞
giving taehyun to yuta, sicheng sat into one of the chairs next to the kids and stared out of no where. he had a bad feeling about this, he didn't like it. ❝how about we check them out?❞
❝we can't disturb them sicheng.❞ yuta said as he spun around while raising taehyun up. ❝come on cool bean, let's turn that frown into a smile.❞
❝yuta hyung is right ge.❞ renjun said, rubbing circles behind his brother's back. ❝we might walk up into a very unholy sight.❞
❝i'm just worried.❞ sicheng said, burying his head down the table. ❝why are they not here yet?❞
❝maybe they just want some time alone together.❞
pushing the negative thoughts aside, sicheng nodded. ❝maybe that's it.❞
🔓
he was awake, he was conscious, he was sane, he was in his right mind, and the last time he remembered was he had a very good eyesight, but why can't he see? it was pitch black and he felt like something was wrapped around his eyes.
he was blindfolded.
❝taeyong!❞
taeyong's ears twitched as he heard a familiar voice. he didn't know if it's really what he's hearing or it's just a voice from his head. he tried to move but both his arms and legs were tight up very tight. he could then feel tears building up from his eyes but was only sucked up by the cloth that's preventing him to see. ❝jaehyun?❞
❝taeyong! wait for me, i'm going to save you!❞
❝jaehyun..❞ taeyong sniffed. he was scared, he felt cold, and his body ached for some reason. ❝help me..❞
jaehyun's heart broke as he saw the sight of taeyong being alone in a room, tied up in a chair, and he could hear him sobbing as he called out his names countless of times. but what can jaehyun too? he was at a separate room and not to mention that he, too, was tied up. just not being blindfolded unlike taeyong.
so he could clearly see who is there with him.
and he sure is not liking the sight.
❝what the fuck are you doing?❞ jaehyun said as he tried squirming from the ropes. ❝let him go!❞
❝let him go just like that?❞ the man chuckled. ❝i don't think so.❞
he was with a man that he called as father.
❝fuck you, really.❞ jaehyun spat, his eyes sending daggers to the man whom he is blood related with. ❝leave him alone.❞
❝you know jaehyun, you should thank me for letting you see him.❞ the man chuckled as he pointed at the flat screen that showed what's happening inside of taeyong's room. ❝it's better than actually not letting you see him suffer, right?❞
❝what?❞ jaehyun's eyes widened and went back to paying attention to what's shown on the flat screen. he started to feel his heart beating fast when he saw two buff guys coming inside of the room and walking closer to taeyong. ❝no, don't hurt him!❞
❝that would be boring.❞ the man said with a mocking out. ❝just a few hits here and there would be fine.❞
"jaehyun is that you?" taeyong's voice was shaking as his head turned at every side, not knowing where the footsteps are coming from. "jae—"
❝no!❞ jaehyun shouted, his blood boiling when he saw one of the guys punching taeyong on his stomach. ❝stop! make it stop! don't hurt him, stop.❞
❝my son, are you crying?❞ the man approached jaehyun and lifted his chin just to laugh at his state. ❝look at you, crying over that filthy man.❞
❝your son?❞ jaehyun snorted at that. his son? who on earth would make their son suffer like this? what kind of father does that? ❝and he is not filthy! don't talk about him like that!❞
❝losing his parents at a very young age and having to work in various of jobs to support himself.❞ the man began to read the information he got from taeyong. ❝is this the man you wanted to marry?❞
❝i love him.❞
❝disgusting.❞ the man then grabbed a fistful of jaehyun's hair and lifted his head up with force, earning a painful groan from the male. ❝a man and a man, you two are disgusting.❞
despite of the pain he is feeling right now, jaehyun still had the guts to scoff. ❝what are you then?❞ the man furrowed his brows when jaehyun talked back. ❝a despicable person who calls himself a father.❞
clicking his tongue, the man brought a gadget up and began to speak to it. ❝give him another punch.❞
"ah!"
jaehyun's eyes went to the screen and tried his best not to break down after seeing the guys taeyong. he needed to be strong, he can't let this man control him anymore.
he just hopes that taeyong is going to hang in there. he promise, he's going to save him after he gets away from his father.
❝i'm only doing this for your own good jaehyun.❞ the man said, tightening his gripped on to jaehyun's hair and making him wince. ❝if you just be a good boy and obey me—❞
❝this is my life, my body, and i make my own decisions.❞ the tied up male said, not letting the man finish what he wanted to say.
❝what a brave man.❞ he clapped his hand as he gave jaehyun a proud look. ❝did he teach you that?❞
jaehyun was then met a hard punch on the face, but he held his whine in. he bit his lower lip and gathered the courage to look at him again.
❝huh? did he teach you to disrespect me?❞ again, the man gave jaehyun another punch.
by now, he is already covered with bruises. but that isn't what jaehyun was worrying about, it's taeyong. he must have had it harder than him. he needed to escape and go save taeyong, but how?
❝you kept a lot from me jaehyun, you're such a disappointment.❞ he hissed in annoyance at jaehyun who still had that fighting look on his face. he knew him well and he knows that jaehyun is not backing down that easily. ❝i have an idea!❞
❝find my interest in that idea of yours.❞ jaehyun boldly said.
❝oh?❞ the man place a hand on the chair as he leaned closer to jaehyun who had bruises all of over his face. ❝if i say the triplets—❞
jaehyun spat, literally, his saliva and it hit straight to the man's face. ❝don't lay a finger on them or i'm really going to kill you!❞
disgust was shown on his face as he wiped the dirty water off his face but then chuckled in amusement after seeing that he got jaehyun's full attention. ❝kill me? how can you kill me when you are stuck in that chair.❞
jaehyun's eyes would often glance at the screen from time to time and furrowed his brows when he saw taeyong's hand always moving behind him. but his eyes quickly diverted towards the man when he saw him holding his phone.
❝i must say, you were quite smart for leaving your car at my building.❞ he then waved jaehyun's phone in the air. ❝but stupid enough to bring your phone.❞
❝what are you going to do?❞
❝am i not the grandfather?❞ the man gave him one sweet, innocent smile. ❝i want to meet my grandsons.❞
"i'm thirsty..."
their eyes went to the screen when they heard taeyong suddenly speak. jaehyun wondered why taeyong would want to drink water but when he squinted his eyes, he could see the older's wrists being free from the ropes. that's when jaehyun understood everything.
and it also made him smile internally, proud at the man he's going to marry in the future.
❝let him drink.❞ jaehyun raised his head at his father.
the man cooed. ❝that's so sweet of you to care for him, disgustingly sweet.❞ he giggled but nonetheless, he called the guys that are looking out for taeyong. ❝get him water.❞
with jaehyun's eyes fixed on the screen to watch taeyong's every move, his atte attention was slapped back to the man when he felt him kicking the chair he was tied on. ❝what?❞
❝come on jaehyun,❞ the man crouched down in front of him. ❝leave him, leave your family, and i'll let him go.❞
❝and what, sell my self to you so that you can control me again?❞ jaehyun looked away. ❝no thanks.❞
gritting his teeth and with his fist clenched, the man gave jaehyun another punch on the face. this time, it caused for jaehyun to bleed in his lower lip. ❝i did not raise you to be like this.❞
❝you never raised me right.❞ looking straight to him, jaehyun said.
❝you really are testing my patience.❞
glancing back to the screen, jaehyun was holding back that urge to visibly be proud at taeyong who has successfully untied the ropes on his hands and now removed the blindfold he is is wearing. the next thing he did was untie the ropes on his legs and he needs to do it fast because the guys are on their way to his room.
❝what are you looking at?❞
jaehyun then panicked when his father turned his head around and is trying to find away to catch his attention fast. ❝dad!❞
fortunately, that immediately made the man turn back to him. ❝what is it my son?❞
he was trying his best not to gag at the man calling him his son. ❝would you promise to let him go and leave my family alone if i give myself to you?❞
hearing that coming from jaehyun made the man grow excited. not really knowing what jaehyun's plan is neither was he even suspecting him. ❝i'm not really fond of promises but for you my son? i will promise.❞
jaehyun's jaw then dropped when he saw taeyong fighting with the buff guys. they were ten times bigger than taeyong yet taeyong was winning the fight, and not to mention that there are two of them meanwhile taeyong is the only one fighting there. jaehyun just thanked the gods above that his father was made as someone talkative. his voice was also loud that the painful groans coming out from the guys couldn't be heard. taeyong is unbelievably doing well in fighting them, making jaehyun sweat.
jaehyun gulped, remind him not to mess with taeyong ever again.
seeing that taeyong had finally come out of the room after dealing with two of his father's men, jaehyun now wondered how taeyong will find him. jaehyun clearly had no idea where on earth they are and how many rooms are there in this building. he can't just let taeyong open random rooms, what if there are his father's men there?
❝dad..❞ he can't help but really be disgusted of the word whenever he say it. but for the sake of his father not finding out about taeyong escaping and possibly calling og back up, he needed to do it. ❝can i do something before i leave my family?❞
the man stood up properly and crossed his arms across his chest. ❝what is it?❞ he needed to get this business done. he was getting impatient of jaehyun dallying things. if he still doesn't give up the next minute then he'll do the worst until jaehyun gives up.
and he surely knows that the triplets can make jaehyun give up.
❝can i confess something to taeyong?❞ jaehyun started to plead, making sure that his father would fall for his puppy eyes. ❝it's really important.❞
❝i won't allow you to go to his room.❞ the man was about to turn around to check taeyong's state but jaehyun quickly stopped him when he raised his voice.
❝it's fine! i'll just shout it here!❞ jaehyun said it so fast, his heart racing as his father almost found out about taeyong escaping the room.
❝do it fast.❞
taking a deep breath, ❝taeyong, i love you so much please don't get mad if i tell you that i was the one who painted yoon's nails pink and not yuta!❞ jaehyun shouted at the top of his lungs that you could see the veins on his neck.
the man furrowed his brows at the random information he had just heard but that wasn't what jaehyun was amused looking at, it was someone who got inside the room with a gun pointing at his father. the man widened his eyes in surprise and took steps back away from jaehyun when taeyong started to walk closer to them, the gun still pointing at him.
even in a serious situation, jaehyun just can't stay serious. ❝damn wifey, you look hot.❞
taeyong kicked the chair and gave jaehyun a look. ❝can you not?❞
❝you think you can get away with this?❞ the man chuckled, his hands raised up as taeyong was pointing a gun at him.
❝just shut up.❞ he snapped at the man and using his other hand to untie jaehyun, taeyong groaned in annoyance when jaehyun kept on whispering compliments to him. ❝you too, shut up.❞
finally free from the ropes, jaehyun streched his body and threw his arms on taeyong's shoulders. ❝hey mr. jung, meet the man i'm going to marry.❞
❝jaehyun you—❞
with taeyong dragging jaehyun with him, they made a run for it before they get cornered there. by now, his father's men might already be running up towards them. jaehyun held taeyong's hand very tight as they ran down the stairs and looked from side to side to see if there is anybody there.
jaehyun stopped his tracks when he saw taeyong throwing the gun. ❝what the heck taeyong we need it!❞
taeyong clicked his tongue and grab jaehyun's arm before he goes running to get the gun and continued to run while dragging him along. ❝it's empty.❞
❝what?!❞ jaehyun's jaw dropped, not believing what he just heard from taeyong. ❝you really are one dynamite guy.❞
❝stop with the compliments will you?❞ it not like taeyong didn't appreciate it, it's just that jaehyun is not being serious right now. ❝i called the police and they are already on their way here.❞
❝dang it, i left my phone with my father.❞
❝what is even in there?❞ taeyong peeked at a corner and saw men running towards their way. turning jaehyun around, they continued running to a different direction.
❝pictures of you.❞
❝goodness jung jaehyun! that's not important right now.❞ taeyong said as he messed up his hair out of frustration. ❝and i need an explanation.❞
nodding like an obedient boy he is, ❝yes wifey.❞ jaehyun said.
the two then flinched when they heard gunshots echoing inside the building. the two looked at each other with wide eyes. jaehyun didn't know taeyong was scared of gunshots, he just found out when he saw him trembling on his knees. unbelievable, he had the courage to hold a gun yet he's afraid of gunshots.
❝just cover your ears, i'm here don't worry.❞ jaehyun picked him up as the continued to run at every clear corner they could go.
they didn't even know it's going to be this tiring, it was like going through a maze.
❝i heard the police. taeyong they are here.❞ jaehyun wrapped his arms around the shaking male's body and placed a kiss on top of his head. ❝we are going to be fine. i'm here, okay? you're not alone.❞
taeyong blinked the tears away as he ran along with jaehyun as he placed his hands down, dealing the gunshots he was hearing. he didn't even realize the ring slipping off his finger. only then when he heard a metal drop on the ground, he stopped to see what it was. jaehyun too looked back but a familiar figure was standing by the corner and that's when they really need to get away there.
❝taeyong let's go!❞
taeyong reached out his hand when jaehyun held his arm tight, not wanting for him to get away. ❝the ring jaehyun!❞
❝leave it there!❞ jaehyun could feel every part of his body not cooperating when he saw his father pulling out a gun and pointing it at taeyong.
the ring isn't even important right now, it's taeyong who's being targeted.
unlike taeyong's gun a while ago, it's not empty.
❝taeyong move!❞
the moment he took the ring from the ground, taeyong felt himself being engulfed in s tight hug by jaehyun and in the next second, a gunshot rang through his ears.
❝jaehyun?❞
the next moment, he could then see the police coming towards their way and shooting the man that's behind the gunshot that aimed at their direction. taeyong didn't want to think about it, he wanted to stay positive like jaehyun who always make jokes in serious situations, but jaehyun's tight embrace loosened up and caused for him to panic.
the police came to them, asking so many questions but taeyong's eyes and attention was all on jaehyun who fell to the ground. he followed after, kneeling next to him and shaking his body.
it must be a joke. he chuckled, ❝jaehyun it's not funny.❞
but jaehyun isn't moving.
❝hey, if you hold your breath for too long you'll really die.❞ taeyong started to shake his body aggressively, hoping that jaehyun would just scare him and tell him that it was just a joke. but blood starting to pool out from his back made taeyong freeze from his spot. ❝j-jaehyun?❞
he's playing around, taeyong knows that he's playing around.
he hopes that he's playing around.
it's a joke. it isn't real. it has to be a joke. or even better, just a nightmare. taeyong is going to wake up with jaehyun and the triplets sleeping peacefully. yes, it's just a dream.
but why isn't he waking up? why is jaehyun not waking up?
❝jaehyun, wake up..❞
❝call the ambulance!❞
the police were already scattering around the building to check and some stayed behind to keep taeyong and jaehyun's body company. some even tried to prevent the blood from coming out and two of them tried to calm taeyong down who looked like he had just lost his soul.
❝wake up jung fucking jaehyun! i still have to get mad at you for painting yoon's nails pink!❞ he cried out, hoping, wishing, and praying that jaehyun would laugh.
but he received no response from him.
