Chapter 63:

“The Sacrifice”

IN AN ABANDONED WAREHOUSE…

All four walks out of their vehicles and stares at the abandoned building they drove their car inside the building with the huge entrance, Yi Jeong shrugs as he and Jun Pyo exchange worry looks at each other.

Woo Bin suddenly turns to them and gives of a sullen look

“Whatever happens, you make sure she is safe…”-Woo Bin says as he brush his hair with one of hands

“What are you saying?”-Jun Pyo says eyeing suspiciously

“You promise to keep her safe… you promise to me”-Woo Bin says again as he stares at the three intently

All three reluctantly nods at him and on cue three black cars drove inside the warehouse coming from the back entrance of the warehouse, the cars stopped at a distance facing our direction… some 4 guys got out in each car, mostly hooded outfits with a dark expression on their faces. What caught the F4’s eyes is a guy wearing his hood up, head low and hands on the hoodie’s pockets.

“So you came”-The hooded guy speaks up walks a couple of steps forward while his minions stand at the back, his voice echoes inside the warehouse giving out an eerie sound

“Where is she?!”-Jun Pyo shouts as he makes fists with hands on each of his sides, Woo Bin raises his hand to stop Jun Pyo, and he relaxed

“Where’s my little sister?”-Woo Bin speaks up passively

“Hmm… before that, you couldn’t possibly think that I’ll give her back to you without any exchange right?”-Says the hooded guy with his visible smirk

“What do you want? Money? How much?”-Yi Jeong speaks out instead of Woo Bin; he walks a couple of steps forward

“That’s far enough, Mr. So Yi Jeong…”-Says the hooded guy

“You really think I’m doing this because of money!?”-The hooded guy shouts at them in frustration

“Yi Jeong-ah back up”-Woo Bin says quietly at Yi Jeong, and the young master obliged

“I want you to experience what you did to my brother… every pain he felt, his suffering…”-Says the hooded guy

“Like literally… you will stand and do nothing, if your friends somehow interfere… well, Ms. Song Hae Jin will not be able to see her oppas again”-Says the hooded guy chuckling

“Mworago? Bicheoseo!!”-Jun Pyo lunges forward but his arm was grabbed by Ji Hoo

“You heard him, a small mistake here…Hae Jin’s life depend on it”-Says Ji Hoo as he firmly holds Jun Pyo’s arm

“Yoon Ji Hoo, let me go”-Jun Pyo says gritting his teeth in between his words

“This is crazy… we can take them now…here”-Yi Jeong suggests as he makes fists

“No…”-Woo Bin says quietly

“Too risky… we have not seen Hae Jin yet… you guys promised to keep her safe, until then... you will not intervene”-Woo Bin says as he steps forward and the other three gives off scattered gasps

“Fine! Show her to us”-Woo Bin says with his low-loud voice… at the hooded guy

“Okay… get the girl”-Says the hooded guy in agreement and orders one of the guys behind him….

MEANWHILE…

Hae Jin’s POV

My heart beats loudly, my breathing’s rugged and my head is spinning… I can barely breathe from the trunk of this car, dark and I can barely move… my hands tied from the back and eyes blindfolded, my mouth gagged…what’s going to happen to me? Please GOD keep me safe and the others please…

 I felt the car stopped after almost 20 minutes of driving, I hear scattered voices, but muffled conversations only… I can’t make them out but---

“BICHEOSEO?!” – I heard a loud voice outside and I could’ve sworn that was Jun Pyo-Oppa’s voice… the situation dawned on me and I felt dreadful… suddenly fear struck me. A couple of moments the door of the trunk opens, I felt it shift…

I wiggled and squirmed then suddenly strong hands grabbed me to get out of the car, as I clumsily get off the trunk, I winced as my feet touches the cold ground… the person that’s holding me leds me to a short walk and stops

“Hae Jin-ah!”-Yi Jeong-Oppa’s voice calls out and I know… I know they are all here

“Here, let me help you with that”-A familiar menacing voice spoke out and takes off the blindfold from my eyes, I blinked a couple of times to adjust my vision. Then he takes off the gagged, after that I winced at the slight stinging pain traces from the cloth that used to gag me… I look around and I saw them, there across us, a distance between… my eyes lingered from my brother to Jun Pyo-Oppa and Yi Jeong-Oppa and my eyes couldn’t help gather its tears as my stare holds and stops at him… Yoon Ji Hoo…

Ji Hoo-Oppa shifts from where he stands and moves a step forward, so as the others...

“Ah! Not so fast”-The hooded guy pulls me abruptly so he stands behind me, my back to his chest, his one hand holding my arm, while the other holds my chin… as he his head to the side.

The others stopped their walk… then I saw it, Woo Bin-Oppa’s expression… his face giving off soft impressions.

“Now… when I count to three you walk and I let her walk…”-The hooded guy says, and Woo Bin-Oppa nods. I don’t understand what’s happening… the hooded guy loosens the rope and I felt free... I rub my wrists, rope marks are visible now.

“Walk”-The hooded guy says

“You don’t need to do this… you think your little brother would want this?”-I said trying to convince him out on to whatever he is planning.

“Walk, Ms. Hae Jin… my fight’s not with you… go, before I change my mind”-He replies turning his head to the side avoiding my sight

“Jebal…”- I said once more

“I said Walk!”-He shouts, voice raise… I was taken aback; I walk backwards couple of steps then walks straight slowly… not minding the cold concrete and scattered rubbles that graze my feet…

Woo Bin-Oppa walks slowly forward, meeting my every step… our eyes lock at each other, a couple of steps his eyes full of gladness and nods in assurance at me, a small smile of thankfulness creeps on his mouth…

As we meet mid-way I stop but he didn’t he kept walking forward, I look back at him and then it hit me… I walk slowly forward towards the others; it couldn’t be that… he… Oppa’s not…

Before I could react to anything, Jun Pyo-Oppa’s pulls be into a tight hug… burying his head to my neck.

“Hae Jin-ah, gwenchana? Are you hurt anywhere?”-Jun Pyo-Oppa asks as he pulls away from me and checks my arms for any wound, then shakes my head… assuring him.

“Here, it’s cold.”-Yi Jeong-Oppa takes off his suit and drapes it to y shoulders

“Wait… Woo Bin-Oppa”-I said then turns to look at my brother, there just standing

“Go!”-The hooded guy shouts and the guys at the back standing behind him walks toward to Oppa… and then my fear became real. Damn it.

“So Yi Jeong! Gu Jun Pyo! Yoon Ji Hoo! You guys promised! Do not interfere Araso!?”-Woo Bin-Oppa shouts referring to them… then

“Araso!”-Yi Jeong-Oppa says in clenched teeth

“I know…”-Says Jun Pyo-Oppa

“I promise”-Ji Hoo says

Then when I was about to ask, one of the men of the hooded guy punches Woo Bin-Oppa so hard that the fell back, I gasp in surprise and claps both my hands to my mouth to stop it from shouting

I fell back and Ji Hoo-Oppa’s hand catches me from behind, he tried to take me away but I didn’t budge, was it shock? Fear? I don’t know.

Another blow came from one of the men hits Woo Bin-Oppa’s stomach then the onslaught didn’t stop

“Stop… stop… jebal!”-I shout as I clasp my hands to my mouth

“Don’t look Hae Jin-ah…”-says Woo Bin-Oppa as he stares at me, then another blow he falls to the ground, kneeling

“Yoon Ji Hoo!”-Woo Bin-Oppa shouts at Ji Hoo-Oppa and instinctively Ji Hoo-Oppa pulls me to face him, and I went wide-eyed… my  brain must still be processing the situation coz my head hurts.

“Look at me… only me, Araso?”-Ji Hoo-Oppa says as he hold my head in place; forcing me stare at him, I can hear a body thudding to the ground, the grunting… the blows that those men are throwing at my brother, even if I don’t see. I can hear every single thing…

I raise my hands putting them to my ears trying to suppress the noise but instantly failed.

I bite my lip clenching my teeth, my eyes glistening… tears continue to flow, as I let my knee fall to the ground and Ji Hoo-Oppa was on timing to catch the rest of my weight to his arms…

Ji Hoo-Oppa pulls me to his arms, holding me in place… I buried my head to his chest, didn’t care drowning his shirt with my tears... I grip his shirt, as he buries his head to the side of my neck… and then I fell to consciousness… I -out…

5 hours after…

Hae Jin’s POV

My head hurts my cheeks now dry. My hands twitching forcing them to move, my legs now recovered from its lifeless state earlier. Then I realized something and suddenly pushed myself to sit then I look around…

“Hospital?”-I said to myself

“Oh! Hae Jin-ah!”-Ga Eul-unnie shriek as she opens the door from the inside and walks in followed by Yi Jeong-Oppa

“What happened?”-I said asking

“You must not exert too much effort, Hae Jin-ah... you have to rest okay?”-Says Yi Jeong-Oppa putting his hand to my head then I brushed it off

“Where’s Woo Bin-Oppa hmm?”-I said then no one answered, my fear pushed my get off the bed and leave the room

“Hae Jin-ah, stop! You just woke up!”-Ga Eul-unnie calls out but I’m already walking corridor by corridor then i follow the emergency sign…

then I saw Jun Pyo-Oppa with Jan Di-unnie’s head to his shoulders. Jae Kyung-unnie crying while Ji Hoo-Oppa rubs her back to calm her down…

I walk slowly toward them and my eyes suddenly give off tears, my heart sunk as I assume the worst

“Where is he?”-I said to them and all looks up, Ji Hoo-Oppa stands up and walks to me

“Hae Jin-ah…”-He said

“I said where’s my brother?!”-I said now shouting….

Then the doors to the emergency room opens and a doctor came out and take of his mask.
