Jonghyun hung up his phone and felt relieved. Sure, be pissed at her for going out in the first place, but do that later. She was okay. Why the fuck should he really care though, still not convinced her dying would be terrible. And then he felt guilty again. Fuck this bond thing, they should break it. She’s smart, she could find a way.
He was standing in an alley where he had gone to the side to answer the phone. Usually it’s a good idea to do that, so it’s harder to be surprised in an alley while you’re on the phone. But he was in deep thought, planning a way out of this mess when someone hit him in the back of the head then grabbed his arm from behind and twisted it back, nearly dislocating his shoulder. Jonghyun cried out in a daze when his arm forced him to spin around to face what he assumed was Taemin. Yeah, fucking Taemin.
Another hand pulled on Jonghyun’s other arm and held it from moving, it must be Taeil. Jonghyun smirked, “Out on the prowl, I see.” He grunted when Taeil tightened his arm behind him, “But I’m busy so can we do this another time?”
Taemin looked like he was considering, “How about no? You have something that belongs to a friend of mine. I want it back.”
“You have friends? I thought you just had your pet vampire.” Jonghyun tried to back away as Taemin put his knife up to him, but Taeil pushed back on him. “So I don’t think I care about your friend but what am I supposed to have exactly?”
“A laptop.” Taemin looked at him seriously but he was confused and on the verge of pissed right the fuck off when Jonghyun suddenly burst into laughter, despite Taeil’s attempts at wrangling him by pulling up on his arm. “Taeil, hurt him.”
His laughing turned into a yell when Taeil gave a swift pull and his shoulder went out of socket. Jonghyun cringed as he said, “What did Sayu go crying to you or something?”
“So you do have it. Where is it, I want it back for her.”
“Or what, you’ll hurt me more? Go ahead.” Taeil’s hand moved to grab his injured shoulder and squeezed, making him cry out again.
Taemin tilted his head, “What? I mean, okay, but I still want the computer.”
He laughed lightly, “What did Sayu tell you? That I took her computer? That was it?” Jonghyun couldn’t help but chuckle, even though his shoulder kept getting squeeze, the pain was getting pretty easy to withstand. “She didn’t tell you ‘cause she doesn’t trust you.” He laughed a little more but the pain didn’t increase. Yes, they were confused, keep driving it home. “Yeah I had her fucking computer, ‘cause I was looking for a lead on the person trying to kill her.”
Taemin glanced at Taeil, as if asking what the fuck, and then shoved his knife towards Jonghyun’s neck, slicing a little into the skin. “Who’s trying to kill her and why the hell do you care.”
“Hah so she doesn’t trust you enough to tell you about that, but I know. I bet that makes you feel like shit. Doesn’t it.” Jonghyun egged him on, he could feel Sayu’s worry building the more pain he felt and it amused him in the circumstance.
“You know because it’s your fault, isn’t it?” Taemin glared at him and moved the knife lower to Jonghyun’s side. “I finally get a chance to kill you, don’t I? You made it so easy. I’ll just find out from her later.” He pushed the blade in and Taeil let Jonghyun fall forward and try to catch himself with his one good arm.
He still laughed, which was getting odd looks from both of them now he could see Taeil. They looked confused and his phone rang. He reached for it, but Taemin grabbed it first, looking at it. “Answer it for me, will ya’?” Jonghyun winced as he pushed himself to stand. He was in no position to run now, but in a second that wouldn’t matter.
Taemin flipped the phone open and answered on speaker, “Hello, who is this?”
There was nothing for a few seconds and Taemin glanced at Jonghyun, but then a small, tired voice spoke. “Is… this… I mean, this is Sayu. You’re…Taemin, right? Please, stop hurting him.”
Jonghyun laughed a little at the quizzical looks on both their faces, so he let them know. “We’re bonded, guys. Fuck you, too.”
