If I gave my best why he is gone?

When Chan and Changbin reached the shop, it was already too late. Hyunjin was on the floor, blood all over him and there was no trace of Jeongin. Panic went in Chan and Changbin when they saw Hyunjin. Changbin went towards him checking if he was still alive, Chan staying grounded to the floor not daring to breathe.

"He is alive. And his pulse is steady, he is going to make it." Changbin said with relief.

Chan was also happy for that but he needed to see where was Jeongin now. Meantime Changbin placed Hyunjin on one of the couches in the shop and went for the computer. Chan searched everywhere but to no avail. He only found the boy's phone.

"Come see this." Changbin said.

The security cameras footage. Changbin brought the video back to when Hyunjin and Jeongin were alone in the shop this morning. Suddenly Hyunjin looks through the windows, panic on his face. Then he turns towards Jeongin saying something to the boy, making him go under the counter. Soon a few men enter the shop. Chan knows them damn well. Men from the Familia. Soon one by one they jump at Hyunjin, the boy fighting back. Chan never saw him like that, but he knew why he was fighting. For who he was fighting. And then they saw the men part.

"Oh my God. Fucking shit." Changbin whispers.

They see Minho looks around the shop, and then approach the counter where Jeongin was. They see Hyunjin lunches himself on Minho but being stopped by some men.

"The boy is braver than me, I can give him that." Changbin says.

Minho drags Jeongin towards the door, but someone says something to him and he stops, giving the boy to be held by someone. Minho approaches Hyunjin, grabbing him by the throat, saying something. Hyunjin is not fighting back, but he reaches his hand towards Jeongin who was crying, screaming and trashing in the man's hold. This was so painful to watch. Then Minho starts to look around until he makes eye contact with the camera. Smirking at it. And then he releases Hyunjin's body to fell to the floor, leaving with Jeongin.

"What are we going to do?" Changbin asked.

Chan is silent for a few seconds, clenching his jaw.

"First we need to bring Hyunjin home, then we will make sure that the Don won't get out of this alive." Chan says.

It's been a few days now, no trace of Jeongin, and Hyunjin hasn't weaken up still. Chan was losing slowly his mind. He hasn't slept for days, thinking how to responded to the blow.

"Hyunjin!" Changbin jumped from his spot.

The boy stood at the doorway, tears on his eyes while he looked at Chan. Chan stood up when he sees the boy, slowly approaching him. He never saw him cry. This hurts so much.

"I am so sorry. He is gone because I couldn't stop them." He cried.

"Shh. It's not your fault, you gave your best." Chan says.

He reaches towards the boy, pulling him into an embrace. The boy hugging him back.

"If I gave my best why he is gone?" Hyunjin cried more.

"We will get him back, I promise." Chan told him.

Hyunjin and Changbin's hope was near zero, since they knew Minho was the one to get him.

"He hit me personally, so I will hit back the same way." Chan said.

"And what do you plan?" Changbin asked.

"The don will marry his oldest daughter to a future Don from another Familia." Chan says.

"And?" Changbin ushers when Chan doesn't continue.

"I will make sure that there wouldn't be a bloody sheet in the morning." Chan says.

"And how do you plan on doing it? The girl knows you, she wouldn't give up her virginity to you." Changbin says.

"But she doesn't know me, right? I'll do it." Hyunjin says.

"Are you sane? We can't let you do this. We kept you out from this for so long Hyunjin." Changbin told him.

"Chan is right. Taking Jeongin is personal, so I'll do anything to bring him back." Hyunjin says.

"Chan what will you says?" Changbin asks.

"That Hyunjin has a few more days to get himself in shape, because he is pretty ugly now with all those bruises on his face. The wedding will be hold in Sunday, you have time until Friday." Chan says.

"I will not fail you this time." Hyunjin says leaving to room, needing some more time to rest.

"You never did boy." Chan says most to himself.

They all were determined to bring Jeongin back in one peace and alive. They left the Don with no weapons, now they were going to stop the truce with another Familia which will lead to his men losing trust in the Don. His last days were nearing. He will pay dearly for taking Jeongin from him.

Jeongin was curled into a ball on a bed in a single room with no windows. Minho was in the other corner of the room, reading something. The whole room smelled of bleach. Apparently, this was Minho's torture room. Jeongin just looked into nothing, his mind repeating Hyunjin's last moment over and over again.

Soon the door opened and, in the room, entered a middle-aged man, by his looks Jeongin assumed that he was older than Chan. The man looked at Jeongin with a smirk on his face.

"Is that him, Chan's mistress? I never thought he would be into boys, but damn he is pretty." The man says.

He licks his lips going closer to the bed, making Jeongin to go as far away as possible, but the walls caging him in the end. Then Minho stood up from his spot, going to the man.

"You know how I work. I don't care if you are the Don. If you want me to do my work, you are not touching this boy until I am done with him." Minho deadpans.

"Well then. Make sure that the boy would be alive when you are done with him, so I could play some more." The Don says.

With that he leaves the room, leaving them alone again. Minho takes his seat again, while Jeongin curls again on the bed crying.
