the acrid and metallic taste of blood pools heavily atop the taste buds of jace's tongue. it weighs and leaks behind the firm press of stiff and sticky duct tape, covering the full length of his mouth. it is for this reason only, that the long ride to the unknown location remains almost entirely silent. despite the laborious fight he had already put up outside of his home, an insolent spark of defiance remains. thus, the way that his nostrils flare as he ever so secretively attempts to catch the hatch of the harsh metal cuffs in a stray pointed piece of the van's seat release tab from the trunk. the endeavor doesn't last long; he's soon caught by one of his initial captors — it results in the taut grip of his hair — the repeated force of his head against the cheap material that constructs the hollow back of the vehicle. ouch. the hint of a remaining spark fizzles out slowly. it is dampened quickly by the slow drip of his first few tears, which roll thickly over the silver slab of tape sealed to his lips. perhaps, too tired to keep up, he fades into a deep haze of disassociation, eyes glazing over with tears over mumblings of keeping him alive and being careful. it should be none of his concern, but it proves itself a poor sign. it means only one thing. it paints his worst nightmare true. he is the bait. so his love must be the ransom. god fucking damn it, he thinks. don't. don't come for me. be angry with me. a different wish from that of the one he held before, just before the other's departure. the hour that stretches on does not pay his mind any further answers.
instead it opens the door to more darkness. all strength having been soaked up by his previous fight, he is ashamed by his own subservience; his tail is between his legs as he follows, silently blind folded, down what feels like a never ending path. the chair is cold, the ropes rough, and the handcuffs sting, each device a thorn of its own to his already bleeding body. enter : light. while relieved to see, to breathe, to speak, the groan that escapes him is not merely one of relief, but simultaneous discomfort, the blood from his brutalization leaking from his nostrils – and at last his open mouth. the bout of relief is of course short lived, interrupted by a presence that is both shocking and absurd. jeongmin squints, pained by the harsh light emitted by the bulb, too hot and close to his face. but just past the glare does he make out the entirely pristine attire, down to the very detail of the jewels. until at last, does he meet a gaze that most certainly should read kind, unfortunately translates amusement, and much to jace's dismay feels recognizable. and handsome. his own dark eyes narrow further, flitting to and fro at first to register the stranger's expression, and immediately after his surroundings. though he is immediately met with the environment covered in nothing but dark shadows and a large door that did not spell out an easy escape. well, shit. he's in it for good, tears continuously streaming despite the flare of resentment which boils beneath his prickling skin as the other speaks — questions him and what feels like his intelligence.
as the shine of the light wears away, it is that velvety red that he recognizes most. paired with an intonation that is all too gleeful for the predicament, it finally strikes him. the art show that he had done long ago. well, well, well…are there not fallen angels with feathers on every hidden path which leads to seoul ? it was a face he had once seen before, though muddled in his sloppy memory. it proves enough. jeongmin wishes that he could react. but with one eye swollen nearly shut, and the energy siphoned by his injuries, there is little left remaining on his expression besides apathy. by chance, there is a glimmer of what seems to be resounding agitation — disgust — resentment. of course he knows why he is here. but why ever, would he acknowledge that ? to even speak, requires a deep heave. ❝ you're either really into obscene art, ❞ jace's voice is not his own, sounding out deep yet shattered, the notion a callback to the fact that he remembers minjun's face in the very least, ❝ or you're way too invested in the idea of selling six billion won worth of coke. ❞ sarcasm seeps into the concrete beneath the soles of their feet, spewed straight from the tone of his words. while he is aware that it is no small feat, both experience and the discerning rake of his eyes down the other's opulent extravagance allow him to enforce his insight that six billion won, to his captor, must be mere chump change. annoyed even by the other's grandiosity, the raven cannot help but destroy the display of his own intellect. ❝ which is fucking dumb. ❞ the other's hungry gaze, his games are not lost on jace. long ago he became perhaps too well equipped on dealing with those who hold the appetite of this sort. how he should accordingly proceed, is yet to be revealed.

here is how these things go. with precision , command . in the clutch of blood - stained palms . in the echo of a prior atonement , yet to be reached , yet to be granted . jace's words almost cut him lovingly . they almost caress him . bitter confessions . the elder almost wants to speak --- but lips stay sealed . his protests , considered unworthy --- it's taste too close to the plea , he colors his prayer with . the younger doesn't understand , doesn't see . but tony neither claims the right of setting him straight --- what had it all been worth , truly ? if all his presence evolved into , remained woven into the world , that tried to bury its claws into his legs anew ? his mind , littered with unknown , faceless , nameless threats --- he knows far too well , in this war --- it came in waves . knocking one down , drowning them again and again . he dares not to raise his gaze . wants to hide that starless sky , born into his eyes . dull --- dripping in thick ink , a soft frown weaving itself across the elder's features . he shakes his head , barely --- trying to swallow his concern . oblivious , as jace was --- it could cost them much more than merely a shared dinner meal . more than the mutual shove of separating their burdens so intricately --- the phantom echo of guilt yet to be lived . for once , jeongmin rejected , to be thrown back into havoc and war , to be pushed and torn by the current . who was tony to deny him such ? he turns on his heel , wordlessly leaves without glancing at the other's face --- firm , determined to leave the younger his peace . inside --- brooding . his mind shifting itself , to forget , to erase --- deviate his focus onto catching whoever hid themselves behind the witnessed assault . to step back into the beast's den , revive a demon he wished to eternally have sealed away -- how naive , he thinks . to be convinced , to truly believe . . . controlling a man's fate lied in his power . he disappears into this maze of an underworld — . . .
merely a handful of days pass --- sleepless nights for the elder . time , a thick molasse with no beginning nor an ending . full ashtrays , heavy exhales . another set of concerns , pressing and urging him to return to jace and scoop him up on the spot . but the male simply cannot bring himself to go back , let alone face the other after such a short timeframe anew . empty handed , with promises and words that were hard to believe , leaving his lips --- even for tony himself . his reflection , reminds him --- each time he believes to have forgotten .
jace's reflection however --- on the screen of his phone , black -- merely illuminated by the stark light of the hallway , outside of his apartment . bouncing off --- blurry lines , no beginning , no end . if only he had tilted his phone slightly lower , if only he had thrown a glance over his weary shoulder --- " errand boy . we need you to be good and come with us . " , the small group of men cast a shadow , stretching into a mountain range . drown jace entirely , trap him between his locked door and their bodies . a determined shake of his head , declining any invitation almost too eagerly --- as the thread snaps in the fragment of half a second . bare fists , brute force --- until the younger's protests and efforts to escape turn into pants , coughs -- with a ringing in his ears , from the repeated collision with the door frame of his very own apartment . it is too precise , the timing too convenient to be anything but a revisit from the same group , having come for tony . jace is handled like a sack of potatoes , thrown and handled with little care , blindfolded , cuffed --- kept silent , in what feels like an endlessly stretching drive in the back of a van . by the time , he is hauled into a chair --- dusk breaks . footsteps echo , in this large hall . occasional mutters , the click of something mechanic . until the estimated group of people quicken their pace of walking --- closer to the corner in which jace remains planted .
the blindfold is torn off with no prior warning , painfully pulling at the strands of his disheveled hair . a naked lightbulb tears at his vision . bruised lips , dried blood around his nose , the side of his head --- sticky and cold . the first thing , his strained eyes must lay themselves on --- is the towering presence of a tall stature , clad in velvet --- jeweled gold , catching in the cold illumination . red - maned , widened hues --- a warm smile , as if offering a welcome . " little sapphire ! still with us ! you look awful . . ah , just awful . " , a shake of his well kept hair . the male's tone resembles a song , a melody bouncing between the beat , following the rhythm of complete silence , than any usual tact . the male figure remains standing , so close that his legs almost brush the younger's --- the straight posture of an arrow , a flickering glimmer unburying itself within hues , as they drink the tied up figure --- with an infernally starved curiosity , a hunger poorly satisfied . amusement drips from a countenance , inhabited by sharp features , a long shape to frame it --- slender fingers holding onto his burning cigarette . " any idea , why you have ended up here ? " , heart - shaped lips pout with an accompanied frown , theatrically absurd , " you are in college , are you not you ? " , the male slightly bends , legs kept straight --- leaning closer into the other's personal space with no regard for its concept at all , " do you think you are smart enough , to figure this one out ? " , eyebrows raise --- in an excitement , solidifying itself in his intense gaze . rotten , widened eyes --- his quieter , intimate tone dripping with a temptation , a lust utterly unholy --- and absolutely shameless .
