Chapter 17~Kim Hyuna (2/2)
So many thoughts run through your head as you speed into town. It doesn’t take you long to find the first club. The one that Guk had come to in search of you. The one that you ran into Hara at. He had rescued you that night. That’s where you would start.
It doesn’t take long to find someone to buy you a drink. After you ditch them, you make your way around the club. You’re not looking for trouble. You avoid peoples’ eyes, stay away from the crowded areas and dark hallways, and don’t talk to anyone. You look for him. Scan the crowd. But he’s nowhere in sight. You get annoyed and leave quickly.
What’s with him? He shows up in your house out of nowhere. Then stays with you for no reason. And then disappears without a trace? Sure, you had yelled at him and told him to leave, but if he really cared about you, wouldn’t he come back and try to make things right? Wouldn’t he want to try to talk it out? UGH. Of course, now when you’re ready to listen you can’t find him!
You go to the second club on the other side of town. The one Yong Guk had taken you to in order to get over JunHyung. The one where he saved you from a complete stranger after you had drunk too much. The one where you decided that he meant a lot more to you than you ever thought possible. The one that you dubbed him your Night Warrior.You search the club for him but also for someone to buy you a drink. That should bring Guk to you. Drinking alone in a club. Surely he’d come to your rescue then.You catch eyes with a tall guy in a black suit. His hair is dyed silver and styled up into a crazy Mohawk type look. His eyes are strong and his smile is alluring. He’s with a younger boy with brown hair and a similar suit. This one seems to be more around your age. They’re both attractive except that the taller one’s nose seems to be slightly crooked. You decide they’re good enough to buy you a drink. They’re already staring at you and smiling.You smile back and walk up to them.“Buy me a drink?” you ask as innocently as you can.“Sure.” The tall one says in a deep voice with a smile. He sounds slightly familiar.He turns around to the bar and orders some type of drink. You turn to the younger on and he smiles.“Come here a lot?” he asks.“Hm, I’ve been here once before.” You answer loudly over the blaring music.This club is a lot jumpier than the last. More people, louder music, darker lights.The tall guy turns back around and hands you a drink.“You here alone?” he asks.You shrug.
“I’m waiting for…a friend.” You answer, looking around the club. “He should be here somewhere…”
The two look at each other and you take a sip of your drink. Tastes funny. Must be some fancy drink. The guy must have strange taste or like his drinks strong. You wince at the flavor.“You don’t like it?” he asks.“No, it’s good! Thank you!” you start to turn to leave.“Well if you don’t like it I’ll get you something else.” The man continues.“No, no, I like it just fine.”
“I don’t believe you.” You smiles in good fun.You turn back. “Really? How would I convince you?” you ask.“Contest?” the younger one asks.You look at him. “What kind of contest?”“Just to see who can down theirs fastest.” He shrugs.“I don’t drink like that.” You smile.“Okay, then at least hang here with us and let it settle on your stomach. You’ll get used to the drink.” The tall one says.
“I don’t know…” you reply. You look around the club. Where’s BYG? Perhaps if he saw you drinking with these strangers, he’d come to your rescue. You smile at your own plan and turn back to them. They’re studying your face, waiting for you to continue. “Okay.” You smile.They both cheer for you and you three clink glasses before drinking.After a while, the club seems louder. The room seems darker. You seem funnier. The boys seem more attractive.
You’re laughing and they’re laughing. About what? You don’t really know but that’s what’s so hilarious…right? Eh.
“Come on let’s go.” The tall one says as he pushes away from the bar.The younger one is still laughing as he gets up to follow. You become in the middle of them, following the tall one through the club as the younger one has his hands on your shoulder from behind.“Where are we going?” you ask loudly.“Outside for some air.” The younger one says loudly.
The room is spinning. The colors of the lights are blending. You feel dizzy.“I don’t feel so good.” You say.“You’ll feel better outside.” The tall one looks at you over his shoulder with a smile. A strange smile. You look back at him uncertainly.Once outside you three stand along the curb of the road. They’re pacing and you’re swaying. They’re waiting for something… or someone. You shrug it off.“I think I’m going to head home.” You say as you turn to walk back towards wherever you parked your car.“Just wait with us a little longer.” The tall one says as he grabs a hold of your wrist.“I don’t feel good.” You slur as you speak.“Just wait.” He says more demandingly as he yanks you back to him.“Hey!” you screech and yank your wrist free.“I said I’m leaving!” you pout and spin fast to leave, but this makes the whole world spin faster. You stay still for a moment waiting for it to stop.You hear the sound of a vehicle of some sort drive up and you turn to see a large black van stop by the curb. You raise your eyebrows but turn to continue on. The younger boy slides in front of you, blocking your way.“Hey…” you mumble as you try to walk past him. His arms encircle you and they become like iron bars. “Hey, I need to get through…” you slur again.Then you feel the tall one take a hold of your shoulders and spin you around. Fast. The world is falling again! Before you know it, you’re thrown over his shoulder.“HEY!” you shout. You scream as loud as you can but the younger one comes up and covers your mouth. You screech and kick but the tall one doesn’t even seem to notice.He grunts as he shoves you into the back of the van. You yell at him and try to push him away as he climbs in. The younger boy shuts the doors behind you and gets into the passenger seat. Another man is at the driver’s seat. He has a shaved Mohawk as well. You don’t like Mohawks anymore.
Your heart is racing inside of your chest. The big man comes towards you and you scramble to the other side of the van. You two do a sort of dance until you’re by the back doors. You reach up to open them but you can’t seem to tell your hands where the handle is. Two handles. Four handles. Four HANDS!! What is this?!
You yell and cry for help as you bang on the door. The tall man tries to pull your hands behind your back.“Just go!” he grunts to the people up front.You feel the van start to move. The tall man forces you onto your stomach, your face into the floor by the door. Your breathing is strong and fast.Guk comes to your mind. Your Night Warrior. Where is he?
“Yong Guk!” you cry out. “Guk! BYG!”You can practically hear him yelling for you. “Hyuna!” he would shout. “Stop!” Your eyes blink but darkness starts to crowd your vision. Then the darkness engulfs your sight completely and it’s dark.
