Ch 2 Six months before confinement...
A tall figure wearing a half-buttoned shirt with jeans exited out of the side door of the bar and began to smoke a cigarette. The smoke travelled up and disappeared into thin air. The alleyway was very narrow and dark but there were small lightbulbs hanging on the side of the walls which made the way visible. The old broken lights flickered on, and off which really made the place feel heavy and spooky.
Junho was taking a break from her work because one of the customers finally let go of her. She was the top bartender at the bar because of her good figure and charismatic personality. Most of her customers were female. None of the female customers had realized that she was in fact a female. It was not their fault though since Junho had rough features. She had broad shoulders, small chest but large pecs. Moreover, she was taller than some of the male models who visited their store often. She was 181cm in height and had thick waist with an 8 pack. She had a sharp handsome face with thick eyebrows and baggy dark eye circles which gave off a dark aura. She had short hair that was set up nicely with gel. She just didn't have a pen*s (didn't have something dangling at her groin). She could be the opposite of what you would call pretty. She considered her features to be a gift and was very proud of it since a lot of rich girls were fond of her.
As she was finishing up her cigarette, loud noise was quickly approaching her from the far end of the alleyway. There were several footsteps coming toward her and it sounded as if someone was being chased. She was not fond of trouble, and they looked pretty dangerous, so she made up her mind to get back inside. But as she reached for the doorknob, she realized that it was locked. Someone must've accidently locked it without realizing that she was out... She tried her best to use her strength to open it, even if she had to break it because whatever was coming towards her sounded like a hassle. As she was struggling with the door, group of men stopped near her, to catch their breath, including the one who was being chased.
--------------------
Lyn had just finished his business with the other underground organization but when he was leaving the hotel building, he was attacked by a group of men hunting for his life....
Lyn was running out of breath and could not continue running anymore. Although he had an amazing stamina, getting chased around by group of men in different corners of the street had taken a toll in him. Just when he was thinking of needing some help, he spots a tough looking young man at the dark alleyway. He thought that he was the perfect opportunity to buy him some time and gain some breather.
--------------------------
They all stared at the tall figure with their hands on their knees, with their lungs on fire. While they were gasping for breath, Junho took it as a chance and continued to fight with the door, hoping that someone would listen to her cry from the inside. She banged and rotated the knob like her life depended on it. The group of men began to snicker at the individual pulling on the door for his life which lightened up the mood a bit. "Just give up on the door, if you don't interfere, we'll ignore you..." said one of the men who were one of the chasers. Gangsters these days are quite reasonable than what they sound like in dramas huh thought Junho. "We'll I didn't see anything, and I am actually not here right now, so you can resume whatever you were doing~." I could feel the red suit guy who was chased by the gangsters look at me with an unbelievable eye, but I did not even give a glance to him. I just casually crouched beside the wall and closed my eyes, then rotated my body to face the wall. I camouflaged myself like one of the broken stools in the alleyway and stayed silent. "You look ridiculous like tha...." the group of men were attacked before they could finish their line. The red suit guy must have taken this diversion to initiate the attack. I could hear all sorts of broken abandoned objects thrown to the gangsters. I could hear them yelling and cursing at one another. This guy must be a Doraemon (cat that has a pouch with infinite stuff) descendent cause I hear endless stuff thrown at them. Just when I thought that things got silent and everything was over, I was suddenly pulled up by my collar and lifted to a standing position facing the gangsters. I felt like I was almost chocked to death. The red suit guy took a broken bottle and put it up to my neck. "Are you crazy? What are you taking me as a hostage for? U think that'll work?" immediately after I said that his face got closer to mine and he blew into my right ear which made me shiver and said, "1 million dollars."
"ha... Deal," I quickly replied without a moment of hesitation. The guy who took me hostage was amused by my quick answer and confidence and instantly let go me of when he heard my answer. The gangsters didn't know what to do when the red suit took hostage of me because his actions to take hostage of a random bartender in front of five gangsters made no sense. Its not like they would care about my life. The deal was done, and I slowly approached them with a big smile. They let their guard down and just giggled at me because of my cowardly behavior from before. Junho's lip's was also hanging off her ears and could not stop drooling at the site of these 5 men. Each one of their heads looked like 200 000 dollars to her. She dug up a few precious coins from her pockets while sobbing and flicked them towards the lightbulbs hanging off the walls on the alleyway and everything turned dark.
The guy in the red suit was not able to witness anything that was happening, but he could hear each man howling in pain and falling to the floor one by one. He knew that everything was finished when he finally saw the light from the door that creaked open. "you opened the door?" he said in calm voice.
"ha...ahahah so you were waiting for my price?" Junho just looked at him like he was delusional. Well that guy is overthinking... It obviously opened cause someone opened it from the inside... Did he already forget the struggle I had with this damn door... So he thinks that it was an act... He can think what he wants I guess... thought Junho as she rolled her eyes.
