45. lucas and jungwoo [angstish?]

"I shot him." The boy clarified, as he put the gun on the table. When he walked over to the sink to wash his hands, he got stopped by a question.

"Are you sure he is dead?" Jungwoo took a few steps back to the table where his boss was sitting, he grabbed the dagger he always carried with him, from his hiding spot in his boot and slamed it on the table, causing a sharp sound to resonate against the walls.

The knife was covered in blood. Jungwoo walked back over to the sink to wash the blood of one of his rivals, of his hands.

"Positive." 

-

"And then I slaughtered the zombies and saved the world." Lucas shoved a spoon full of rice in his mouth after he finished telling the sensational dream he had had last night.

"Oh my god, I had the exact same dream!" Jungwoo exclaimed as he sat down, putting his tray full of food on the table.

Lucas smiled in surprise. "Really?!" 

"Of course I didn't." Jungwoo rolled his eyes and he started eating.

Although Lucas told everything in detail, no one at their table really listened to him. Everyone was busy stuffing themselves with food before they had to get back to studying.

He wasn't too bothered by it, he didn't mind silence nor a lack of response.

"Guys, come on! I fought zombies! Aren't you proud of me?" Lucas said with some food still in his mouth since he wasn't patient enough to wait until he swallowed everything.

"Zombies do not exist, Lucas. Don't act silly." Jungwoo said after he had cleared his throat. Because in contrast to the Chinese male, Jungwoo did have manners.

"Wikipedia says otherwise." Lucas sulked. Jungwoo's phone lit up, Lucas couldn't contain his curiousity and leaned over to take a good look at the screen. 

Someone was calling him.

Jungwoo immediately dropped his utensils. "They are doing what?!" The boy whisper shouted after he answered the call. 

"I'm on my way there." Jungwoo ended the call and thought of the quickest way out of the building. He didn't bother throwing his left over food away, took his bag and strode away.

Back at the table nobody really caught the short conversation. Nobody but Lucas, who was utterly confused.

Who was doing what?
Who was he talking to?
Where was he going?

"Guys, do you know where Jungwoo is going?" Lucas looked at everyone at the table but no one was giving the response he was hoping for.

"I don't know." Mark said before taking a bite of his burger, wiping the sauce of the corner of his mouth with his thumb after.

"No idea." Donghyuck said while stealing a fry from his neighbour and some barbecue sauce from Mark.

"Maybe someting to do with... Actually I don't know either." Jaehyun said, taking a sip from his coke before passing it on to Johnny who was sitting beside him, currently trying to stop Donghyuck from stealing his food.

Lucas got up from his seat, picked up his bag from the ground and ran after the other boy without any other words.

He now stood outside and turned his head from left to right, searching for Jungwoo. He caught a glimpse of him when he turned around the corner.

Lucas got to his bike, put on his helmet and went after him as quick as he could. He made sure to keep a far distance between them.

He saw Jungwoo enter a building and exit a few minutes after. Jungwoo looked around, Lucas was no sure why he acted so suspicious. Then he saw Jungwoo walk into an alley.

Before he could lose him out of his sight, Lucas sped to him. He parked his bike and walked to where he last saw Jungwoo. When he entered the small alleyway, he didn't expect Jungwoo to be right around the corner. 

Lucas bumped into something, Jungwoo to be exact. The other boy got startled and dropped the object in his hands. 

It came in contact with the ground, a terrible loud sound echoing through the narrow alley. Jungwoo slowly turned around, trying to keep his cool. When he saw Lucas standing behind him, he almost lost it. 

"Lucas, what are you doing here?!" Jungwoo whispered, his eyes almost glowing red from anger. Jungwoo didn't wait for an answer and turned back to search for his gun.

Yes, he was holding a gun. 

He got called by his boss, his gang was under attack by their rivals. They had to take them down as soon as possible.

It was dark in the alley, there was no way Jungwoo could find the gun before they were being attacked or shot, he already heard the gunshots from far away. He just hoped Taeyong would last a few more minutes.

"Juyeon, take him down!" Jungwoo heard footsteps approach, he took Lucas wrist and pulled them out of the alley.

"I have plan." Lucas now ran in front of Jungwoo and pulled him to his bike, when they both were settled down Lucas sped away.

But he didn't know where to.

They kept riding and rolling.

- 

"Lucas," Jungwoo said when he felt a warmth behind him and smelled a weird scent. "Lucas stop the motorcycle."

They stood still on a bridge, no other cars or bikes around them. 

"What's wrong, Jungwoo?" Lucas turned around, but Jungwoo was already getting of the vehicle.

"Lucas, get off the bike." Jungwoo requested calmly, taking a deep breath.

"What no!" Lucas yelled, why would he?

"Lucas, get off!" Jungwoo ordered, his voice dripping with panick and anger. He grabbed Lucas' arm and pulled his from the bike, he grabbed the handles and pushed it in the water beneath them.

Jungwoo caught his breath and looked at Lucas.

"So, what was plan?" 

"Well, someone, thought it would be a great idea to throw my plan off this brigde!" Lucas threw his hands in the air, putting them in his hair in frustration.

"It was on fire!" Jungwoo screamed. He took a deep breath in attempt to calm himself down. "I don't know if I should thank you for saving me from Juyeon or if I want to drown you like I did with your bike." 

Lucas looked over the edge, his bike nowhere to be seen, but he already knew where it was, at the bottom of the river.

"Can I-" 

"You don't get to decide anything." Jungwoo snapped sternly before grabbing his bag and running into the forest which was connected to the right side of the road. 

Leaving Lucas all alone, without a bike, in the middle of nowhere.
