EMBERS • HAECHAN (Not Finished Yet)

Chapter 62

"Sorry to disturb you, but we haven't found him yet."

I immediately recognized the newcomer by his body and features, watching the annoyed expression that was lingering on  Seungkwan's face.
When I had last seen him, his hair had still been a light shade of brown, but now that I met him again, his dark eyes peeked out from underneath his snow-white strands.

Although the well-known SVT member tried to look as threatening as possible, his dark aura was practically smothered and destroyed by Wonwoo's own.
The deadly gaze the taller boy gave him was enough for him to tell, what kinds of storm was about to come at him.

"Are you fucking serious? Are you motherfuckers too dumb to do anything on your own?" Wonwoo shouted at him out of nowhere, his chest rising and falling furiously.

Only now did I realize that I hadn't even seen Jeno until now. Normally he couldn't be seen without the other boys which had led me to believe he was actually there.

Letting my eyes wander around the entire room, there was not a single sign of him anywhere near so SVT was clearly talking about him. He must have somehow managed not to get away from them.

"Mingyu and Jun have already checked most of it, but there's no sign of him."

"Keep searching! The exits are locked, he can't go anywhere without us noticing!"

"Understood."

Without hesitation, the gang member disappeared again, leaving the seven of us with Wonwoo alone.

Mingyu and Jun... that means there were only four of them? If so, the chance of getting out of here would be greater, though difficult.
Apart from me, the other guys were tied up harder and couldn't really do anything, not to forget that I wasn't allowed to endanger my own identity.
It won't be too easy to come up with a plan in this short amount of time.

Inconspicuously, I let my bound hands slowly wander up my own skirt, keeping my eyes fixed on Wonwoo to make sure he wasn't looking in my direction.
As I did so, the back of my hands moved over the thin fabric until they hit a small bump on my thigh shortly afterwards, making me inhale with instant relief.

The blade I had luckily attached to my leg this morning, had thankfully remained undiscovered under my clothing.
Now that I knew I had a weapon, even if only a small one, I just had to figure out when and how to use it.

Theoretically I could free myself first, although I didn't necessarily need the knife for that, since anyone could easily tear the cable ties apart themselves.

So... freeing myself was not the problem... but attacking SVT was.
And by that I don't mean that because I have to fight them or anything. The problem was that by attacking SVT I could reveal my own identity in front of everyone else...

If I slide the knife towards Mark instead? He could free himself and try to take on the guy... No, that's not an option either.
They would ask me why the hell I was carrying a knife with me, which would make me suspicious as well.

'Damn it, Sunghee! How do we get out of here?'

The question kept buzzing around in my head, but eventually it kept coming back to Jeno. I was not allowed to risk my secret, so I had to hope that the older boy would somehow appear and help us out of our miserable situation.

"Where were we," Wonwoo tore me out of my thoughts before goose bumps spread all over my body by simply hearing his rough and provocative voice.

"Oh yeah. We have some questions for you and since you are already sitting so nicely in front of me, wouldn't it be a shame not to take advantage of this opportunity?"

Another icy shiver went down my spine while I watched him wander in front of us with a smug and amused expression, clearly enjoying the current position he was in.
His condescending manner elicited every bit of hatred in me and caused an unstoppable energy to rush through my nerves. Diabolically grinning, the ravenette enemy looked in my direction again, my heart immediately starting to accelerate.

"Let's play a game, shall we?" he continued chat, his hand gradually moving to the inside of his jacket before raising a postol in the air a few seconds later.
Shortly afterwards he turned his back on me again to pay attention to the boys who were still sitting at the heaters on my opposite side of the room.

"I'm going to ask you a few questions and the person I'm holding my gun at has to answers me, got that?"

None of us made any sound to assure him and instead I could observe everyone's expression becoming more serious and alert.
Even Mark and Chenle, who were tied to other pillars right next to me, seemed as if they were eying their prey, silently waiting until they could finally tear him into shreds like some starving animal.

Not giving a damn about it though, a small chuckle left Wonwoo's lips, the grin on his face growing even wider than before.

"Let's start playing then."
