Mountain Soul PART 1-2 (1/1)
PART 1-2 After lunch, he was back in his cell with his creepy cellmate. Lens was for now laying on his bunk with a book in hand, but Minwoo could not relax completely when locked up in the same room with this man. It was like if he was letting his guard down this guy would jump at his throat, which he could not let happen. Therefore, he was wary of every little noise around him. Such behavior left his body stiff in apprehension in case he needed to react quickly. A couple hours passed like this, with Lens reading silently and Minwoo trying to stay still on his bed without showing his anxiety. He was maybe a bit too stiff laying on his bunk, but it was the best he could do. It was not like the other man was minding him anyway, but one was never too careful.It was only around three pm (from what his biological clock was saying) that the doors were once again opened for some free time in the yard. Waiting for Lens to move first, he sat up on his bed with his legs crossed until his cellie was jumping down his bunk, putting away his book at its place before walking passed Minwoo out of the cell. He followed the man soon after, and like previously, waited in line between his cellmate and the muscled Asian guy on his right. It was cool outside, and the blue-grey prison suit he was wearing was enough to keep him warm. With his hands in his pockets, he followed to the yard and walked around it to observe. He was careful to stay away from the different groups claiming different part of the yard, and after five minutes or so he stopped near a fence to watch some basketball match. Standing too much out near the fence, he decided to resume his walk around the yard to make time pass. He always loved to be outside, but such freedom suddenly felt too fake for his liking. He was used to go wherever he wanted, whenever he wanted and with whoever he wanted. But here, he was limited to this small portion of yard he could not even explore fully. He would have liked to work out, but a group of men had already claimed the spot, and he was not sure he would be welcomed. Looking around for the other new inmates, he spotted the same kid than previously at lunch and was not surprised to see him with some guy's arm around his shoulders. The gesture looked possessive, and the way the inmate was behaving, it felt like he was showing off his new acquisition to his friends. Disgusting. Ignoring the scene, he spotted two other newcomers and was glad to not be the only one having no purpose in the yard. He could have sigh at the fact, but he was sure soon enough he would get his marks and blend in the crowd. He was observing the watchtower where a guard was looking out when he heard someone shout something he did not really understand. Turning his head around, he just had time to see a basket ball coming at him full speed before punching it away out of reflex. Adrenaline pumped through his veins as he watched the ball hit some inmate's back strongly. Fuck.He knew at this second he was in for some troubles, and cursing whoever had kicked this ball towards him, he just had time to get a glance at the basketball court before the tall, tanned man he had hit with the ball whipped around with daggers in his eyes. Fuck. Thinking he did not want any trouble on his first day. It came running at him like a fucking ex wanting to kick his balls for cheating on her with her cousin. "Who's the son of a bitch who dared to hit me in the back ?" Shouted the enraged man, and standing his ground, Minwoo felt many eyes turn on him (as if he was the only one at fault). The inmate's gaze fell on him and became a mix of anger, disbelieve and amusement. Gritting his teeth, the man stepped in his direction with his pals in tail. Four against one, how many chances did he have to win ? For any other man the answer would have been none, but Minwoo was not anyone, and even if it would not be an easy fight, he knew he had his chances. If he was playing it smart and fast. "You messed with the wrong guy, shorty." Started the tall man, and stretching his arm out to grab Minwoo's collar, he pulled him closer with a grin to which the shorter man answered with a smirk before head butting him in the nose and breaking it. Moving swiftly and quickly, Minwoo kicked the guy's friend in the balls before punching the other one in the throat. The man chocked and was no threat to him anymore. Wasting no time, he found himself face to face with the fourth friend ready for him. He was taller and bulkier than him, but it had never prevented him to win a fight before. Hearing the tanned man yell curses and threats behind him, Minwoo knew he should attack before he was back in the confrontation, but as he was about to lung forward, arms wrapped around him and squeezed him strongly from behind. "You mother fucking bitch…" Said the enraged tanned man in his back with blood spurting out of his mouth at each word. Grimacing, Minwoo knew he was not strong enough to get the man off, and with the other one coming at him, he knew he had to act and fast if he did not want to lose. Planting his feet in the ground, he bent forward as much as possible before head butting the guy in the mouth. Teeth scratched his skull, but it was nothing compared to the damages done to his adversary. The arms were still around him, and out of reflex the tanned man hauled him up sharply. Waiting for such opportunity, Minwoo kicked out just as the other, bulkier man was coming at him and hit him in the chin. A cry of pain was heard, then insults and death threats followed, before the man in his back loosened his grip on him enough to let him an occasion to elbow him in the ribs. Freeing himself, Minwoo did not take any rest and lunged at the man he had kicked in the chin before he could recover. In a swift movement, he jumped on the inmate's back with his arm around his throat. Trapping him in a headlock, he did not let go until the guy was out on the ground. Fire shots were heard after that, and seeing the bullet hit the ground at his feet, Minwoo immediately went down on the ground with the other inmates. Putting his hands on the back of his head, he heard yells and footsteps hurry towards them. Soon after, there was guards yanking him up before handcuffing his hands in his back. He did not resist and did not look away from the warders or inmates looking at him. He did not show any kind of emotion either as he was dragged away then inside the prison. He refused to answer to the guards' questions too, and when he was shoved in confinement and the barred door was shut after him, he did not say or do anything. "Give me your hands !" Ordered one of the warder, and backing against the door to put his hands through the slot, he let his arms fall along his side once free from the handcuffs. He was about to walk to the bed when a hand grabbed his brown hair and painfully pulled his head against the bars. "You better behave yourself, boy." Hissed the guard at his ear, and gritting his teeth, Minwoo tried to move, but the grip only tighten in his hair. Waiting for a reaction, the warder eventually released him when he got nothing, and growling in frustration, he walked out of the cell and slammed shut the heavy metallic door before clacking the lock in. Minwoo watched it and flared his nostrils through which he breathed hard in contained rage. He was not one to let anyone step on him, and this guard was lucky these bars were between them. Or he would have kicked him in the balls. Glaring for a spreading moment at the locked door on the other side of the bars, he managed to calm down enough to think about something else than murdering the man.Taking deep breathes, he sat on the mattress put on a concrete surface and closed his eyes. It was never easy for him to keep a perfect control over his emotions, and mostly his anger, and after the fight in the yard and this asshole's act a minute ago, he was ready to tear anyone's head off. His fists were itching and his body screaming at him for some action, but he was in confinement. It was torturously frustrating and unnerving. Laying down in a huff of annoyance, he pressed his forearms on his eyes in a new attempt to calm down. Losing it would do nothing to help him, but he would give anything for an opportunity to punch someone -or something- He just needed to hit something to release his frustration, but there was nothing. Fuck.Fuck it !Fuck it all !He realized he was punching the mattress only when the dull pain started appeasing him. Therefore, he kept hitting it increasingly strongly until any trace of anger and frustration had vanished. His hand was aching when he finally stopped, but it was a welcomed pain managing to calm him down. Sighing, he stared at the ceiling above him and stayed like this for hours. Time ticked by, but every minutes were the same for him. He only knew time had passed when his biological clock let him know he was hungry, which meant diner had arrived. He was not sure if they would feed him so soon after ending in confinement, and when time flew by and no one brought him anything, he guessed he would not have diner tonight. He did not care much, but it was still a reason for him to get frustrated. Not because he was too hungry, but because someone else was depriving him from a right he always had. No one had never prevented him to eat when he wanted, or go where he wanted, but now he was in prison, all this was not in his control anymore. He had not realized it that strongly until there, and forcing himself to not think about it, he sat up and went to the sink to drink some water. Getting all worked up now about something he knew would happen once in prison would be stupid, and splashing some cold water on his face, he sighed and relaxed slightly.Thinking he had planned to keep a low profile on his first days. He could have laugh, if he was not so damned annoyed about it. If he was finding who was the asshole throwing this ball at him, he swore he would make him pay dearly for it. The bastard was lucky he had no idea who he actually was. Here's chapter two. I was bored, so I updated xDI realized the chapters are quite short, but later on some will be longer, and around 14~15 there'll be more length (in my opinion ^^)So yeah, I hope you liked this chapter and are enjoying this story so far.
