41 Taken

Short after the whole situation, Nick called back. 'I have found Mike. He is not to far away from where you are. There are 10 other cabins spread throughout the forest. I'll send you his exact location.' Daehyun hurried out of the cabin and followed the navigation. 'Within 30 minutes. If I don't call back. Call the forester.' Daehyun end the call and began to run. He is almost there. The snow fell on his face and melted instantly. His whole body was on fire and even the snow did not cool him down.

He saw the cabin and speed up his pace. Almost there. Without a warning he kicked in the door. The door swung open and came back, but Daehyun kicked it again. What he saw made his blood boil. Inside, Mijoo was laying in bed eyes closed. She had iv drop attached on her left arm. On the other side. Mike was sitting and looking at Mijoo. He did not take the effort to look up at Daehyun who came in like a mad man. And so the mad man began to walk to them. If eyes could kill someone, it was his eyes. Daehyun felt a sharp pain in his neck and fell on the cold floor. Tim was standing behind with a baseball bat in his hands. He looked terrified and began to shake. Dropped the bat on the floor before he took several steps backwards until his back touched the wooden wall. He froze on spot.

Daehyun tried to get up but Mike took the bat, with the tip he pressed Daehyun back to the floor. Mike is taller than Daehyun and well build. But he looks like one of those who pump up their muscles with chemicals and nothing else. Brown short cut hair and an invisible scar on the left side of his neck. A long one, looks like a mark left with a nail.

'Hello there. You must be Daehyun, am I right?' with sarcasm in his voice. The edge of his lip curled up. 'I am being nice here and wanted to let you see Mijoo for the last time before we go. I'm sure that by now you know what I did. And what will happen to Mijoo.' Mike squat and talked in a treating voice. That did not bother Daehyun. He wants Mijoo back. 'Let's skip the cliché stuff. Stop here and I'll let you leave. But if you take her. Know that I won't stop until you bleed to death.'

Mike laughed and swung the bat at Daehyun hitting his back before he could regain his strength and stand up. Daehyun lost his sight and passed out. Mike dropped the bat and walked to Mijoo. He pulled the iv drop and covered the wound with a band-aid. 'Get the rope out of the trunk, make sure you tie him tightly. I have a feeling that he will get up any moment.' Tim listened and did what Mike told him to do. 'Come out once you are done.' With that said. Mike left the cabin with Mijoo in his arms.

Tim came back with the rope. He quickly and awkwardly tied both hands as tight as he could. Next his feet. Tim wrapped the rope around Daehyun's ankle two times. Daehyun let out a groan. He slowly opened his eyes and saw Tim tying him down. 'You are second on the list. I'm going to rip off your throat.' Tim ignored him. He was afraid. Did not dare to look Daehyun in the eyes. Once finished, Tim took off. Daehyun let out a scream.

'That's the sound of a wolf that has lost his partner.' Said Mike and took the seat next Mijoo. After a while, Tim came out the cabin, took the steer and drove off.

After 30 minutes the forester came in with Melis. They saw Daehyun tied down on the cold floor. Daehyun did not lose his anger and with that mindset he almost had the rope untied. Melis came running and helped him. 'Mijoo?' Daehyun eyed Melis in disbelief. 'I need to get her back! He took him.' Melis tried to stop her brother from going crazy. 'Stop. You can't barge in like this again. Nick called me. He said that they followed us with the car to get Mijoo. They'll probably know when you go after them. Calm down for now.'

Daehyun shut his eyes for a moment before he spoke. 'Alright.'

They left the cabin and went back to theirs. The siblings loaded their car and left the forest. Daehyun dropped Melis off at her house and left for his own house. Once he came back, he phoned Nick. 'Where are they right now?'

'According to the phone location. They are at Mike. Tim too. What do you think?' Asked Nick to Daehyun. 'I bet that dumbass is trying to brainwash Mijoo into believing they are going out or even married. For now I'll have to think of a reason why that loser is so attached to Mijoo.'

'If you need anything just let me know, I'll keep you updated every hour or so.' Nick has been friends with Daehyun for almost a decade the five of them together with Joshua, Aron and Lee. Once every month they'd come together for a drink or some outdoor activities.

'Can you inform the other guys about this whole mess. We haven't seen each other for a while, it'll be a great activity for them too.' Nick nodded his head over the phone and Daehyun could visualize him do so and disconnected the phone.

Daehyun leaned back and searched for answers in his head. He closed his eyes and thought for a long while. What did Mijoo do to Mike that he got so attractive towards her? Her character, her body, her voice, her sweetness, her smile. Daehyun got aroused imagining Mijoo looking at him smiling soft and tender. Daehyun shook his head. Not the perfect time to be like this. He needs to find that Mike and make him give the answers. These thoughts will eat him alive if he keeps going on. For now he has to rest and think whether he should go to work tomorrow or stay home.

The next day Daehyun decided to go out. Staying at home doing nothing is useless. He got out of bed and looked into his phone. Joshua, Aron and Lee texted him. They had tons of questions thrown at Daehyun.

Joshua works as a professional photographer. He likes to travel all the time, he needs to do that for his profession. Aron owns a game store in a busy street. He earns a lot of money. Lee, Nick and Daehyun have the same profession. They work for a company as the IT-guy.
