I love my subscribers. Love you guys. but still, I love gyu more. LOL.

It was dark. Humid. Dirty. The air was too heavy and Dongwoo could feel some burning sensation from his throat to his head. Some part of his head is stinging heavily, but Dongwoo could not make which part is it, as his whole body was feeling like he is on fire. Hot with unwanted fever and sweating in cold fear. Dongwoo try opening his eyes, but futile. He could feel something warm is flowing on his face, and he could only guess it as his blood. Another attempt to open his eyes, and he succeed. Only to be greeted by a whimpering Woohyun, with their body tied on a metal chair, with Woohyun eyes was cover with some cloth and his mouth was tapped. Dongwoo could see that Woohyun is crying in fear, and some blood is staining his cloth. Dongwoo try to call Woohyun, but he just realizes that his mouth was tape too. Dongwoo wriggling a little before he tries jumping from the chair, wanting to move as closer as he could to Woohyun. But every single effort turns pointless.

As for Woohyun, once he registered his surrounding, he could sense that he is in the same warehouse from where he was kidnapped once with Yoon Ji before. Only the different is he is sitting in the chair where Yoon Ji was killed. By Joo Young. And he was freaking out.

“A-ah…Dongwoo-ya…. Be careful.. You could fall you know…” A small chuckled was heard. Woohyun cocked his head around, trying to locate the source of the creepy voice. Dongwoo stop moving. He turns his head to his side, only to be greeted by a smilling Joo Young in his all-black outfit.

“Great to see you again, Dongwoo-ya…” Joo Young hand touched Dongwoo’s cheek slowly, wiping off the bloods that keep streaming from his head. Dongwoo shake his head hastily, removing Joo Young’s rough hand off his face with a glare. Joo Young smile, showing his prominent teeth.

“You know….” He pulled out a dagger. Purposely showing it too Dongwoo’s face, making Dongwoo gasp in fear.

“This feels like dejavu…right Woohyun?” He brings a slow step forward to Woohyun, meaning to threaten the younger vocalist. Dongwoo keep shaking his head, frowning in fear. He keeps making sounds to stop Joo Young from going further to hurt Woohyun. A slow ringing sound suddenly appeared, making Joo Young raise his eyebrow in curiosity. Dongwoo look startled. He totally forgot about his phone in his sweater pocket, and is now ringing the special ringtone Dongwoo put on this caller. It Sunggyu. Joo Young chuckled.

“This is totally a dejavu. It’s your leader right? My lovely brother…” Joo Young rushed to Dongwoo side, bringing his hand roaming on Dongwoo jeans before moving to his sweater. Joo Young smile turn into a certain grin, and laughing in victory.

“Sunggyu-yah…” He laughs again. He could make a startled sound coming from Sunggyu’s end.

“How are you feeling? Is your stomach alright?” Joo Young walk around Dongwoo and Woohyun, before stopping right in front of Woohyun. Pointing the small dagger at Woohyun’s face and moving it slowly toward Woohyun’s jaw and neck, trying to leave some scar on it. Woohyun whimper turn out loud and now is shaking heavily. He was crying until the cloth that is covering his eyes was soaking, and he keep shaking his head, fearing of anything that he feels coming toward him. Joo Young smirk again.

“Oh…Sunggyu, you know what you should do right? This is so fun. A total dejavu. And again, choose.” The smirk turn flat, while Joo Young’s hand is stabbing Woohyun’s arm, mercilessly. Dongwoo eyes turn wide, while he effortlessly keep moving his hand, trying to lose the rope that is tying him and Woohyun is screaming in pain. Letting Sunggyu on the other side of the line huffing with anger and fear.

“I won’t kill them, unless you are here, and make your choice. This is just a warning. Be alone. No police. And I’ll kill all of you if you decide to be smart like what you did before by choosing Woohyun over Yoon Ji.” He ended the call. Joo Young is panting with anger built inside his mind, while his hand is grabbing the phone too tightly, making his white knuckled visible. He turn to look at Woohyun, who slowly look weaker every second and he scoffed while pulling out the dagger, and keep it inside his pocket again. Joo Young decide to wait until Sunggyu arrived.

His hand is shaking, and he is crying. Heavily in fear. Sunggyu could feel his rising heartbeat and the beeping machine beside him didn’t help either. He glance toward Hoya and Sungyeol who is sleeping on the sofa at the end of the room, and decide to stay calm before both of them awake by the sound of his rising heart machine. He knew, this time, he doesn’t have any choice. He needed, desperately to save both of his brothers, and he won’t make the same mistake as before. Sunggyu took a deep breath, filling his lungs with oxygen before releasing it slowly. He flinch when he feels like his stabbing wound turn tighter, but he could care less about his wound at the moment.

He slowly peeled off the blanket, and pushes his leg lowered to the cold floor while removing every unnecessary wired and cannals from his body. He was bedridden for almost 4 days, and it feels awkward to be standing on the floor, and start moving his leg. He stop, thinking whether should he change into a more appropriate cloth or…his eyes catches a long brown overcoat at the sofa nearby. It was Sungyeol's. He quickly nodded, before grabbing the coat, and wearing it with some determine expression. Nothing could stop his will right now. Nothing—Wait?! Where's Sungjong?! Sunggyu eyes turn into an alarmed expression. He totally forgot about Sungjong. Did he went to the toilet—

”Gyu hyung?! Where are you going?" A small soft voice collapsing his train of thoughts. Sunggyu turn his face toward Sungjong who abruptly appeared like a ghost from the door without any sound. Sunggyu close his eyes before releasing a breath. His mind went fuzzy thinking of any reason to lie to this maknae. But still, Sungjong is a lie detector.

"I wanted to catch some fresh air…" Sunggyu cursed mentally as his voice turn out a little trembled. He glanced at Sungjong frowning face.

"At 4 in the morning. Yeah, right. Let's get you to bed…" Sungjong walk slowly toward the leader, and pull his arm to follow him returning to his bed making Sunggyu flinched at the sudden contact and pull away from Sungjong.

"Just…I need to be out. Please Sungjong. Don't ask me anything…" No reason. He just need to tell Sungjong nothing, begged Sungjong until the younger released him. He could tell that Sungjong is still not convinced with his act, but he got nothing to tell Sungjong. He doesn't want to tell Sungjong that he is going out to save Dongwoo and Woohyun who's getting kidnapped by his long-lost enemy, Joo Young hyung.

"Why…?" Sungjong voice sound broken. He knew Sunggyu is hiding something from them again, and he is not willing to bear another consequences from Sunggyu's act. Sunggyu sighed.

"It's…just… it's complicated. Please, Sungjong. I need to be fast or else…"

"Or else?" Sungjong asked again, this time making another step nearing Sunggyu. Sunggyu realize that he almost slips the truth to Sungjong.

"Let me come with you…" This time his e
