Don'T Being Domesticated
Threats

"Oh I can't contact the three, how is this?!".

The car is running again but at above average speed. The situation is precarious, Jackson Wang and his henchmen have known where Ryujin's hideout is all along and they have surrounded and searched Heeseung's house, which even the owner of the house does not know.

"The car they drive has Ryu's GPS". Kai said too casually.

"Then?!". Ryujin still raised the intonation of his voice, panicking.

"I can track him".

Ryujin still put on his angry face staring at Kai who was driving full concentration on the road. Kai noticed it, snorting.

"You forgot I'm an expert in this field, huh?". Saying a little offended.

"No Kai, not that".

"Then?".

"We need to be quick, at headquarters, not just you're smart about this, Kai".

.......

.......

.......

"Report! There's nothing here, Mr. Wang".

Jackson nodded. After deploying his subordinates to check every corner of the room that he thought was small, the result was that they still did not find the whereabouts of Ryujin or his friends.

One of his other men approached.

"Master, Minho wants to talk to you". His subordinate was bent over sticking out his hand which carried a flat object, a cell phone.

"Is there anything you got Minho?". Ask Jackson directly after taking over the phone.

"We got them..".

".. But I don't think Ryujin is there, sir. I've sent some of our members and they're right in front of an old friend of detective Kim's, I'll be right around".

"Good work, keep an eye on them Minho quickly tell jiga there is development".

"Good Sir".

Call disconnected.

"Find and bring here anyone who's ever been in contact with Ryujin!". Absolute command.

Some subordinates ran and jumped into their respective vehicles, immediately carrying out the orders of the superior. And it won't come back if it hasn't got what it wants, or if it doesn't end.

.......

.......

.......

Returning to the place where the car that Kai was driving was still speeding, the distance between them and the destination was very far they took at most an hour.

"Why are they gonna be okay?".

"They're good, Ryu. If Mr. Wang's army were there, they wouldn't dare to advance if you weren't there".

"It's because of me, they got in trouble". Ryujin looked down inside.

"Hey this is not your fault, they did this because they love you Ryu".

Kai clasped Ryujin's fist in the lap of his thigh, calming.

Ryujin glanced at the tablet in front of him that showed the map and the location they were going to, almost there. But.. eh? Why turn? Up ahead they should just stay straight and arrive.

"Kai? What the hell are you doing?! We're going the wrong way!". Ryujin called out in panic.

"No Ryu, we're not going the wrong way".

"Where is this?! We're walking further and further away from them!".

"We can't get there Ryu".

"Why?!".

"Minho-nim is there! They're after you! I can't let you get arrested!".

"But what about Lia and the others? They're my friends!".

Ryujin will rashly open the car door knob next to him that is speeding, but can not because Kai quickly pressed the automatic door lock button tightly.

"What's this?! Kai open the door!". Not directed by Kai.

"I SAID OPEN THE PIN-".

"YOU SHUT UP AND OBEY!". Kai unconsciously interrupted Ryujin's words with an intonation that was no less high, making Ryujin speechless to hear.

"Being willing to sacrifice my friends. I'd better turn myself in".

"Stop talking to Ryujin. I know you're worried, but please worry about yourself..".

".. they'll be fine".

Silent. Both of them were silent, only the roar of the car engine became the only sound among the awkwardness.

Kai let out a small sigh, Ryujin was still on the side. He thought Ryujin might feel that what he said was right and that his rash actions just now were not a thing to do under these circumstances.

But wrong, just now Kai relaxes his shoulder muscles. Just as the road is long, Ryujin tries to take the wheel brutally. Of course it makes Kai shocked and will quickly take over the wheel.

"Let go! What are you doing!".

Panicked, because Ryujin instead of taking off even further tightened his grip on the steering wheel and in one stroke he slammed the steering wheel to the side of the road.

CITTTTS

BRAKKS

Before knowing what they hit, Kai first loses his consciousness. His head hit the stir creating his temples to spit out fresh blood.

Ryujin was similarly stupefied, but quickly the wound closed back. He looked at Kai beside his unconscious, no, he was sorry.

Ryujin picked up a broken piece of car glass in front of him, then swiped the sharp surface on his left arm, to bleed from it.

"sorry".

The blood-splitting wound he squeezed and quickly thrust into the wound at Kai's temple, before it closed on its own.

One

Two

Three

And the next few drops of blood about his best friend's wound, mixed with Kai's pure blood until the wound he made himself was covered again.

Ryujin looked at Kai for a moment who was still closing his eyes. He muttered 'sorry' several times, pressing the key on the previously locked door.

Open the door, walk out. This car hit a big tree on the side of the road, because of the action that slammed the steering suddenly. The front of the car was badly damaged and emitted a puff of smoke, but Ryujin was sure it would not explode.

Ryujin looked right and left, the place was deserted, there was no vehicle passing, Ryujin found a public phone immediately approached him.

"Hello we're 911, did something happen?".

"Yes, car accident on the road-***".

"Well what's in there is another victim".

"It's an emergency, just come!".

"Alright lady, stay on the call-in".

Tutt

Ryujin put the phone back in place, then quickly turned around from the moment the car left. He had to meet his friends, make sure they were safe.

TOK TOK TOK

To his lima - Seokjin, Sunoo, Lia, Beomgyu and Heeseung turned their gazes at the door, staring horror in that direction.

"You're hiding". Tell Seokjin to the teenagers there.

He stepped on the kitchen table, picked up one of the big kitchen knives there. Grasping it tightly, brandishing it forward there.

Hands ready to open the door knob with trembling. And...

Ckekk

Almost the sharp knife body scratches a little nose of someone in front there. Seokjin was glued for a moment.

"Yujin!". Lia exclaimed running into a hug

"Let down dad's knife". Said the child, stuttering Seokjin lowered his knife.

"You're good, right? No one was hurt? Oho! What'sthis?! You bleeding?!". Lia's attack was hysterical.

"Diminish your voice. Comeing! Better get in". Seokjin mediates walking in first.

Ryujin is not stupid. He knew this house because in front of there parked a car that he knew belonged to one of Jackson's subordinates at headquarters, Minho. After walking far enough away from the point of the accident, Ryujin finally decided to enter this house through the backyard, and luckily there was a door there.

And he was greeted with a sharp gun pointed at him. Ryujin was not afraid, the one who held the knife was the one who was afraid. Judging from the way he grasped his knife trembling.

"What's really going on?". Lia leads Ryujin to sit on a sofa. Sunoo deftly takes the p3k box, handing it to Lia.

"Car accident".

"He. There, unconscious".

Lia widened her eyes. "Calm down, he's fine".

"Your-".

"The blood is still there, but there are no wounds at all". Heeseung's words were cut off by Seokjin, he walked over.

Wiping blood unharmed over Ryujin.

"You dripped your blood on your friend's wound?".

Although hesitant because Ryujin honestly did not know who the person who was crouching in front of him was, he still nodded.

"Is it okay to just let it go?". Lia asked worriedly.

"He's fine, he's gonna wake up soon". Seokjin answered like divination.

But that's not what they should be thinking about right now. Jackson with his idea is starting to move forward strategizing across the place.

...~...

"Are we going to keep quiet like this?". They're careless.

Ryujin was silent and lowered his head where he was sitting.

"Ryu if you have a plan, say it. We'll be ready to help".

"No".

"Huh, what? Whyyyy?". Beomgyu continued to urge.

"You're helping too much".

"Hey, we've come this far because we care and want to protect you". Heeseung crouched down, trying to stare at Ryujin's bent face behind the covering of his gravel.

"Hey son".

Seokjin was prying, making Ryujin puff up. Ryujin had learned of a man in front of her from Lia's previous explanation.

"Listen to what your friends say, they went all the way to see me just because of you. I don't know what makes them so, but the reason, probably the same as the reason I want to help you".

"Also, at least you're lucky to still have that immune blood, stop glum-faced and move. They won't just shut up, we don't know what they're up to".

True, they nodded in approval to Seokjin's words as the oldest there, although there were some parts that they did not understand. With the exception of Ryujin, he still feels guilty about everything.

.......

.......

.......

But on the other side, or where Minho and some of Jackson's subordinates are now getting something that makes them show their faces after a very long wait.

Minho was just checking some street CCTV at some point around the place, and he found a man walking with a ruffled frown with a slightly bloody forehead.

Yeah, that's the target they're looking for. Ryujin. He seemed to walk and a little run glanced at his left right, but did not interpret the CCTV hanging sweet up there.

He walked deeper and deeper into a small alley, until the body escaped the sight of CCTV that Minho was monitoring. He glanced at the two bullied passengers and the steering wheel bench alternately, then nodded together.

Picking up his phone, intending to inform the boss. One, two, ti- , lifted up. A heavy voice greeted across there, as usual asking to the point.

"He's here, sir. We are ready to be given orders".

"Good. but let it go". The new Minho will protest with what his boss said.

"I have another way, a better way". Pause for a moment. "Can you trace a communication device that can relay my message to Ryujin inside there, Minho?".

"Sure Mr".

"Good, send it to me quickly. And come back, your job is done.". And that call ended too.

Minho deftly grabbed his ipad, fiddled with something there to get what he was looking for he immediately sent it to the superior.

"Done.we're back!". The driver nodded, and the black car sped away from psychologist Kim's residence.

...~...

Ringgones

Everyone look over.

Ringggs

Everyone look at each other.

Ringgones

"Should I lift up?".

"Don't! Stay there Beomgyu!". Lia reigning.

"It could be a trap".

Ringgones

Ringggs

"What if this is another call?".

"Never believe anything uncertain". Lia said horror.

Ringgggp

"What should we do?". Sunoo was seen to be nervous hearing the ringtone of his own home phone.

"Don't pick them up they'll know our location!".

"If this is the case, they've known from the beginning that we're here! They know Ryujin is here!". Also true.

The sound of ringing still roaring loudly filled the desolate room. Ryujin bowed, clenching his hands. Then rise suddenly.

Definitely step closer to where the house phone depends. Of course his movements were read by everyone, Ryujin would answer the call.

"Stop Ryujin!". Lia's orders were not given at all by the master.

He even further eroded the distance between them with the existence of the ringing object. His hand was stretched out, but was quickly blocked by another, larger hand.

"Rul". Sissy voice.

Ryujin stalled, aware of his actions. He looked at his blocked hands.

"It's enough to get here. You don't have to interfere, it's my business with her... I'll pick it up and go, let me go and solve my own problems".

"What the fuck are you saying, huh?! You doubt our existence here for you? Jeez Ryujin.. You know you're still immune to making you this stubborn? Really so?!". Beomgyu grunted until the veins on his neck appeared.

"What's? No, I never doubted you guys. It's just that I don't want any casualties because of me anymore-".

"It's not just for you, for uncle and aunt Kim!".

Not selfish, but Ryujin thought he was too much trouble for the people around him. Though they were just looking for him, if he turned himself in, all the problems might be solved, right?.

Heeseung looked silently at Ryujin. He was quiet again, again. Heeseung exhaled a small breath, flipping his body towards the people there.

"I'll try to lift it up, whatever the consequences I'm willing to accept".

Ryujin. Glaring his eyes at Heeseung, the young man simply shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

"I agree. I will also accept the consequences". Lia.

"I'm coming". Beomgyu grunting.

Sunoo, also his father nodded after Heeseung stared at. He grabbed the handle, raising the volume of the phone to be heard by everyone.

"For so long". The first greeting they hear.

"Uh, are you a pizza daliveri? sorry but we're not ordering-".

"What are you talking about, Lee Heeseung?". That awkward smile turned wry, he knew my name too?

At least he tried to trick.

Completely silent after.

"Don't be too afraid.You know, we can talk well, yes you should not be called like this anyway but you like hide and seek ya".

Banalities. They know, shut up, they're all just quietly listening.

"Hello? Is this still connected? Oh, my God, you're so tense HAHA". The sound of crisp laughter sounded.

"Alright, to explain then listen carefully". Silent, then BUGH, The sound of a punch at something sounded faint but could be heard

ARGGH

Followed by the powerful moans of someone - Heeseung was familiar with his voice.

"What are you doing fucking! He's spewing blood!". Following again the hysterical cry of a woman who is also familiar to the listener.

"Taehyun's".

"Yuna".

Heeseung and Lia muttered simultaneously. Heeseung's jaws hardened, they tried to hold his two friends.

"You hear? I know you guys aren't stupid to recognize your friend's voice, right? You guys must know what kind of situation this is".

Once again Ryujin stiffened where he stood.
