Encounter

Gardenia

Con't from the last chapter 


"Hyung, it's me"

Dongwan took the phone away from his ear to check the number again. 

"Jun Jin? Is that really you Jinnie? Are you okay? Are you hurt?" Dongwan rambled as Hyesung tried to hear the younger man on the other side

"Dongwan give me the phone" Hyesung tried to forcefully take the phone away, but Dongwan walked away to the other side of the room. 

"Hyung, I'm okay, I'm not hurt, but mom... she's gone. I need you to help me take care of her funeral with my aunt, can you do that for me?" Junjin tried to hide the sadness in his voice. 

"Of course, I will make sure she gets sent off well. Don't worry too much about things here, I'll keep you updated just don't ignore my calls. Oh and Andy-"

Junjin cut him off, "I heard the surgery went well, please don't tell him that we are in contact, please Hyung, protect him for me okay? I don't know when I'll be able to come back, if they find out his importance to me he'll be in danger, I can't let that happen again"

Dongwan nodded, "I understand, but Jinnie? What's your plan now?" DOngwan knew there was no way he was going back to law school. 

"I'll become a business graduate here, I'll try to find a way back to Seoul, I'll do whatever it takes." 

Dongwan knew that there was no going back for him now, whatever path Jun Jin decided to take will lead him to danger. 

"I trust you okay, if you get into trouble over there you let me know right away okay? 

Jun Jin took a deep breath, "Thank you, Hyung" 

Dongwan managed a smile, "No problem."

Seoul metropolitan police station - Present 

Minwoo was going over files that he found in the database about gang activities that went down at Vita Bar the past few years, Minwoo was trying to dig up some information about the new boss and how he was related to Uncle six and the Ragon clan. Eric suddenly slammed a stack of files in front of him and heaved a sigh.

"Here is all the files Hojin dug up on the Ragon clan, most of the files are borrowed from the police database in Japan, go over them and familiarize yourself with the players in the game, this case isn't as simple as it seems" Eric wrinkled his eyebrows. 

Minwoo opened the oldest file first that was dated back to 2002, there was a picture of the docks, he recognized the area but he suddenly couldn't recall a distant memory. 

Andy was in his office finishing up some paperwork for an assault case that was passed down to him, he looked at the gruesome photos that were attached and a chill shot down his spine, he kept on thinking about what the stranger said in the convenience store, "He's sending the boys to Vita Bar tonight, who the does that Jun Jin guy thinks he is?" 

Andy took a sip from his mug, It's probably someone with the same name, The Jun Jin he knew was long gone.

Hojin came into his office to drop off more materials, Andy halted him at the door, "Hojin, can you call the police station and give them a tip, tell them there will be a gang fight at Vita Bar tonight." 

Hojin nodded, "Sure, is there anything else you would like me to do?"

Andy paused to go through his mental to-do list, "Can you call Lawyer Shin and ask him to process my divorce papers as quickly as possible?" 

Hojin gave him a smirk, "Of course, sir" 

Hyesung took a sip out of the iced coffee Dongwan had already ordered for him, "What are we going to do about Jun Jin? I checked with immigration and he landed In Seoul about 2 months ago, has he called you back?"

Dongwan rubbed the side of his face, "I've been trying to call him, but he's not picking up, he always calls me back, but now he's not, from the information I gathered he is already rallying up men, it's sooner or later before he gets his revenge, and it's sooner or later he'll run into Andy, Seoul is a small city, Andy will know." 

"Distract him, pass down all your cases to him and tell him your overworked or something, he's not one to turn down cases" Hyesung suggested. 

"That will only solve our issue momentarily, what if Jun Jin causes trouble? What if Jun Jin gets prosecuted and the case gets sent directly to Andy? What if that happens and Andy found out we lied to him all this time and that we knew where Jun Jin was and what he was doing?" Dongwan wiped the cold sweat that was forming on his forehead. 

"We can only hope for the best" Hyesung chugged down his coffee.

Eric pulled on his jacket, "Listen up, we just received a tip that there will be heavy gang activity taking place at Vita Bar tonight, with the passing of Uncle six and the knew leader rising into power we must make sure to prosecute them all, there will be casualties, so prepare yourselves, we depart in an hour, I want every single one of them in cuffs, understood?"

The team replied in unison, "Yes, sir"

Minwoo grabbed his coat from his locker and buckled his gun holster, it had been a long time since he was able to bring his gun with him, he felt this surge of adrenaline and was determined to cuff up every single gang member tonight. 

The organized crime department that was lead by Eric waited for a block away in a van, they waited for the show to start and shortly Jun Jin and his men entered the bar. About five minutes later a black BMW pulls up to the valet and a gentleman in a suit enters the bar, Eric and Minwoo recognized him, It was Prosecutor Lee.

Minwoo pulled out his phone and called Prosecutor Kim, "Dongwan? We are out for an arrest right now, but we just saw Andy enter Vita bar can you call him and tell him to get the hell out of there? The people from the south end are about to flip this place over!" 

Dongwan was at home chopping some fruits when he got a distress call from Minwoo, he immediately tried to call Andy, but it went straight to voicemail and he began to panic. Dongwan threw the fruit knife into the sink and dialled for Hyesung, it didn't take long for him to answer the call, 

"What is it? Make it quick, I'm on a date right now" Hyesung whispered loudly over the phone. 

"I'm so sorry to ruin the mood, I can't reach Andy, he's headed into Jun Jins bar right now, Minwoo and Eric are in the middle of an operation. I... I don't know what to do" Dongwan ran his fingers through his hair. 

"Calm down, I'm at the Italian restaurant on 4th and Main, I can get here in 5 minutes, are you at home? Can you meet me there?" Hyesung asked.

"I'm- I'm at home, I can get there in 10 minutes if I speed up a little, but what's your plan? We can't just walk in there and pull Andy out of there right?"

Hyesung inhaled, "What's your grand plan than genius?

Dongwan looked at the fruit knife sitting in his sink, he took a moment to remember all the action movies he's watch, he always admired how cool gangsters were in Hong Kong movies, he took a deep breath, "I'll see you there in 10 minutes"

Hyesung was quick to respond, "Great, I'll meet you in the parking lot"

Dongwan placed his phone back into his pocket, he ran into his room and changed into an all-black attire, he was about to head out when he paused for a moment and looked at the fruit knife that was in the sink, "I'm just going to pull Andy out of there, but it's a bar known for heavy gang activities, I should bring something to defend myself..." He said to himself. He took the knife from the sink and gave it a rinse under the tap, he then placed it inside his pocket. 

Eric and the team were still on the lookout, everything looked quite peaceful for the time being, but suddenly a van pulled up and a large group of men went into the building. Eric told his team to get ready, Minwoo tripled check that he had his handgun and extra handcuffs.

At the same time, Hyesung was waiting for Dongwan at the parking lot after he got the call, he immediately left his date, Dongwan approached him and he almost punched him as he didn't recognize the man in black. 

"What the hell are you wearing?" Hyesung asked raising his voice.

"Shhh, we don't want to draw attention to ourselves. You're a lawyer and I'm a prosecutor. If they find out that we were here we might get our licence revoked!" Dongwan pulled his baseball cap down lower to hide his eyes.

"What? Lawyers can't go to bars?" Hyesung scoffed. He headed into the bar and Hyesung followed. 

Minwoo received a text message, [We are inside now, looking for Andy]

"Eric, Prosecutor Kim and Lawyer Jung are inside as well," Minwoo reported.

Eric groaned, "You've got to be ing kidding me, we told them to tell Prosecutor Lee to get out, not come pick him up"

Hyesung and Dongwan entered the club and was greeted by the bouncers and waitresses, Hyesung was astounded, he had never entered a club before in his life, Dongwan on the other hand felt like he was in the college days all over again. The boys looked around to see if they could find Andy, a lady walked up to them and gestured for them to have a seat by the bar, "Is there anything I can get started for you gentlemen", Hyesung looked at Dongwan, not knowing how to answer, Dongwan pulled his hood down and took a glance at the menu, "I'll have a rum and coke, he'll take a long island iced tea" She smiled and left with their order. 

"Did you really order me an iced tea? I'm not 12" Hyesung got all rattled up, Dongwan couldn't help but chuckle, "You idiot." They turned their barstools around to have a better look around the room, no sign of Andy anywhere, "Hyesung you stay here, I'm going to go look around" Hyesung pulled him back "Where do you think you're going, there are gangsters everywhere, what if they catch you snooping around?"

Dongwan patted the front of his hoodie pocket where he placed the fruit knife, "I came prepared"

Dongwan snooped around the karaoke rooms and checked the bathrooms, Andy was seriously not there, had Minwoo given him false information? 

Andy entered the bar and was greeted by the bouncers, "Let's cut this short I'm looking for Junjin" The bouncer gives him a smirk and escorts him to a private room where he was told to wait, Junjin was busy dealing with some of his "Stock" that just came in. When Andy was waiting he tried to convince himself that there was no way that this guy is his Junjin, there was no way, he recalled watching his best friend get on the yacht, he remembered Dongwan telling him that the boat sunk and no survivors were found, there was no way that this man is his best friend. 

After a while of waiting he could suddenly hear the ruckus outside, it sounded like there was a group of people that just entered and it didn't seem like they were here to have a good time. 

Junjin was on the rooftop, he was looking through the new shipment that just came in, "Everything looks good here, keep it well hidden, I heard the cops are planning something nearby, keep your eyes and ears on the lookout, I don't need to be on the front of every magazine cover tomorrow morning." 

His men gave him a bow and took the goods away, "Sir, you have a guest waiting for you downstairs, he's dressed professionally, the shoes tell me he's most likely a lawyer or prosecutor, I didn't get a name, but he was about 175cm average build, pretty pale for a man." 

Junjin immediate knew that the man he was referring to was Andy, he was conflicted, a part of him wanted to run downstairs right now and confront him, but a part of him also knew that it was a terrible idea. Junjin took his phone out and dialled Dongwan, "Dongwan Hyung, Andy is in the private waiting room at my place right now, do you mind coming to pick him up?" Wait, what do you mean you're already here? What are you doing here? Who else did you bring?" Junjin held his phone away from his ear as Dongwan was shouting at the other end of the phone, "Well, take Hyesung Hyung with you and get Andy the hell out of here."

The waiter brought the drinks over to Hyesung who was sitting at the table alone, he turned around due to the ruckus from the bar entrance, about a dozen men dressed in all black had just entered the bar, this did not look good at all. 

After the call with Junjin, Dongwan rushed to where Andy was, 

"Hyung what are you doing here?" Andy looked at him with widened eyes.

"No I should be asking that question, what the hell are you doing here?!"

"I wanted to check something, I needed to see something for myself. I think Junjin he's-"

"Explain to me later Andy, 's about to go down outside and 3 men of that swore allegiance to law and justice doesn't need to be seen in the middle of all this, come on let's go Hyesung is waiting for us outside"

Dongwan dragged Andy out of the room, "Wait Hyung, just a few more minutes I swear I'll leave with you after I meet this guy, please Hyung" Andy sounded desperate but Dongwan could care less at this moment as he saw strange men with weapons approaching the bar where Hyesung was. 

One of the men slammed his baseball bat of the glass table, "We don't want to hurt those who are not involved, get the out of here while you can" he announced. Everyone in the club was grabbing their belongings and ran out as fast as they could. Dongwan ran over to Hyesung assuming that Andy would follow, but instead, he went the other way down the lobby, Hyesung was seen shielding the waitress from the men that were smashing things left and right.

"Andy went that way, let's go!" Dongwan shouted, Hyesung looked at the waitress to make sure she was okay, she thanked him and ran out of the bar with one of the men that worked at the bar. 

Hyesung followed Dongwan to chase down Andy. 

Eric and Minwoo waited for the signal for all hell to break loose, they heard a few screams and immediately saw people running out of the bar. 

Eric opened the door and yelled, "Action!" 

They ran into the Bar and saw that Uncle six' men and Junjins men are already going at it, "Seoul metropolitan police, put your weapons down!" Minwoo shouted, but there was no sign of stopping and both parties were attacking them. 

Andy was checking the bathrooms, he heard the screaming and yelling, but he didn't care, he just needed once glance of Junjin that was all he needed, he made his way to the VIP lounge before he opened the door he sensed that there was someone behind him and as he was about to turn around he felt this sudden throbbing pain at the back of his head, someone had assaulted him with an ashtray, Andy fell to his side, he watched as the man dropped the ashtray on the floor, he slowly looked up to catch a glance at his attacker, but his world suddenly turned black. Junjin placed a handkerchief on the back of Andys head, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..." he saw Dongwan down the hall and signalled him over, "Hyung over here!" It had been over 10 years since he heard Junjins voice in person, "Hyung!" The sound of their friend's voice sent shivers down Dongwan and Hyesungs spine. 

Hyesung sprinted down the hall with Dongwan behind him, he took a glance at Andy and looked back at Junjin, Junjin smiled at him, it had been so long, his Hyung was right in front of him now, Junjin was about to say something when Hyesungs fist was met with his jaw, "You ing ! Did you do this to him? Is this what you do now?! You go around killing your friends or your own nasty benefits!?" Dongwan pulled him aside and gestured for him to calm down. He knelt down and checked on the wound, it wasn't all that bad, Junjin had used enough strength just to knock him out, he gestured Junjin to help put andy on his shoulder. "It's good seeing you again Jin-ah, pick up my calls okay? Don't make me come down here myself. Here take this, in case they come for you" Dongwan smiled at Junjin and handed him the kitchen knife that was big enough to barely slice an apple. Hyesung held his fists, "Did he see you?" Junjin didn't dare look him in the eyes, "No, he didn't" Hyesung turned around and headed towards the exit, Junjin watched as the three men he considered family walked away, "I missed you guys" he said as he looked at the fruit knife that was in his hand.

Eric had just apprehended the 5th thug of the night, he looks over and notices Minwoo fighting 2 guys by himself, he shouts over, "Are you good!?!"

Minwoo flips the guy over the table and cuffs him up, "Yeah, I'm good!?" 

Minwoo noticed Dongwan and Hyesung, he saw someone was passed out on Dongwans shoulders, he ran over to them, "Is prosecutor Lee okay? Ambulances are on their way"

"He'll be fine, we can handle ourselves here, thank you for your services and good job on a successful operation, seems like you have everything under control" Hyesung gave him a pat on the shoulder. Eric walked over, "Don't praise him too much or he'll get spoiled. It was all thanks to Pro Lees tip" 

Hyesung and Dongwan smiled, "Well, we better get going before the media gets here."

Eric halted them before the exit, "By any chance have you seen the bar owner? We'd like to bring him back for questioning"

Hyesung and Dongwan looked at each other and replied in unison, "Nope."

Chapter 5: I thought that I had missed a chapter because my Internet has been failing too much, thanks that it was not. For a moment I thought that Junjin and Andy were to meet, I didn’t expect Jin do something like that just for Andy can't see him. Now I wait how Andy will react, and what Dongwan and Hyesung will tell him. Although I would like Jin and Andy to meet, I think is very soon. I just hope Junjin gets out of the bar okay and he doesn't get caught, I'm not sure if he's a bad boy or good boy, only time will tell. I hope you and your loved ones are well, take care.

I like the "flashback" scenes as it gave depth to the character, the format is also easy on the eyes, I look forward to knowing more about Jindys past and Dongwans role as matchmaker
