In 20 minutes, Leo came to the location where Hyuk and Hongbin were there. It was in a big abandoned house, afar from the city.

Leo came with police and a medical team. Ken didn’t come along with them, because he had to take care of N, accompanying him.

Leo was shocked. Hyuk was sitting on the floor, and Hongbin was lying on Hyuk’s lap. Hongbin’s eyes were closed, and his stomach was bleeding. There were some blood on the floor. It proved that his bleeding was severe.

The medical team helped Hongbin quickly. They put him into an ambulance.

Leo asked Hyuk about what had happened.

“Hyuk, are you okay?” asked Leo

Hyuk only nodded. He was still crying. Then, Leo hugged him, his hair gently.

“it’s okay. He will be fine.” Said Leo

Then the police came and asked Hyuk about what was happening.

“can I go to the hospital first? I really want to know his condition.” Said Hyuk to the police

“I’m sorry, but you can go later. We have to know what causes this accident first.”

Hyuk thought for a moment. Then, he looked at Leo. Leo nodded, allowing him to explain the accident. Finally, Hyuk agreed.

 “okay, so there were four people who tied us with the rope. They forced us to sign a document. I don’t know what is the content of that document because they covered its contents, and they didn’t allow us to see that. They just forced us to sign that document. They said if we didn’t sign them, then they would shoot us with a gun. So, after they untied the rope on the part of our hands, we signed that document. After signing, they tied us again and they left. But, fortunately we could untie the rope. So, we decided to leave here. However, we saw a body armor in the corner. Then, in order to prevent something bad that might happen, so I wore it. Actually, I wanted Hongbin-hyung to wear it, but he didn’t want to wear and he even forced me to wear it. So, I wore that body armor, and I doubled it with a jacket like this. So, they wouldn’t know that I wore it.” Said Hyuk, taking off his jacket and showing the body armor that he wore. He was lucky because it was during the cold season, so he wore a thick jacket that could cover the body armor.

“okay, and then?” asked one of the police

“and then, after I wore the body armor and doubled it with a jacket, we decided to leave. But, they came all of a sudden. And they pointed their pistols to us. We were afraid, so we didn’t move. We just stood still. Then, there was a sound of police siren. Then, they suddenly looked at each other, giving a signal that they would shoot and kill us. Suddenly, they shot us on our chest and stomach numerous times. I tried to cover Hongbin from being shot, but he got shot. Then, we both lay on the floor, pretending to be dead. Then, we heard the police siren again. After that, they left us quickly. Unfortunately, he really got shot in the stomach.” Said Hyuk

“why did they shoot Hongbin on the stomach?”

“I don’t know either. That was weird. They didn’t even try to shoot our heads.” Said Hyuk

“okay, then. Thank you. Now, you can go to the hospital to visit your friend. I will ask for further information later.”

“thank you.” Said Hyuk and Leo. They bowed their heads and they went to the hospital by a taxi.

When Leo and Hyuk were on the way to hospital, Leo called Ken.

“hello.” Answered Ken on the phone

“hello, Ken. Is Hongbin already there?” asked Leo

“yeah. He is in the emergency room.”

“how is his condition?”

“I don’t know yet. The doctor is still examining him.” Said Ken

“okay, then how about Ravi?”

“Ravi? It’s the same as before. His condition isn’t getting better. He is still in the ICU.” Said Ken sadly

“it’s okay. He will get better. Don’t worry Ken.  And how about N?”

“he is sleeping. He needs to rest more.”

“okay, Hyuk and I are on the way to hospital. See you and thank you.” Said Leo. Then, he hung up the phone.

Hyuk looked at him.

“what happened to Ravi-hyung?” asked Hyuk

“Hyuk-ah.....”

“hyung, what happened?” asked Hyuk. He began to worry since he didn’t know anything.

“Jongwan-hyung poisoned Ravi  and now he is in severe condition. “

“what? And then?” asked Hyuk

Then, Leo explained everything.

“what? Why did Jongwan-hyung do that? I didn’t think that he would go that far.” said Hyuk

“yeah, he is a jerk.” Said Leo

“you’re right. It’s all because of him. At first, when you and Ken were out in the early morning, Jongwan came to the dorm. He said that there was an urgent schedule. So, we followed him. And yeah, he trapped us. He kidnapped us and we ended on the mountain. But, his friends, suddenly forced us to go to their car. We followed them, so we left N-hyung and Ravi-hyung on the bottom of the mountain. Then, we ended this way.” Said Hyuk

 “okay, by the way, your explanation to the police back there, was it true?” asked Leo

“of course.”

“then, it’s the same as the way Jongwan did to Ken and me”

“what do you mean?”

“Jongwan forced us to sign some documents too. Bill of sale, and illegal document”

“what? Bill of sale? Illegal documents? Illegal document about what?” asked Hyuk

“illegal insider trading.” Said Leo

“then, the document that Hongbin-hyung and I have signed is also an illegal document?”

“I don’t know. It could be an illegal document, and it could be a bill of sale. The way he did to us was pretty similar. Anyways, do you know who are Jongwan’s friends who shot Hongbin and forced you to sign the document?” asked Leo

“I don’t know. It was my first time seeing them.” Said Hyuk

“argh, it’s going to be hard.”

“everything is gonna be alright, hyung.”

“I know. But, how about Ravi? I can’t find Jongwan to ask the antidote. And my uncle hasn’t replied my email yet.”

“don’t worry. I think this hospital can handle this problem.” Said Hyuk

“yeah, I hope.” Said Leo.
