Prologue:
“Junsu?” Yoochun said in a concerned voice. Junsu kept his eyes shut and leaned against the cold wall behind him. “Yes?” he asked softly, his voice sounded broken and he still held his eyes shut, scared to see the fear in Yoochun’s eyes. “Look at me” Yoochun spoke softly and Junsu opened his eyes. The room was dark , only a single candle light tried to bright up the room. The room was cold but Junsu felt a warm presence next to him. Suddenly, he felt a warm arm around his shoulder and Junsu sighed softly, feeling secure in those arms. He looked up and felt tears streaming down his cheeks. “Are we ever going to get out of here?” Junsu asked softly with fear in his voice. He looked up to the older one when he didn’t answer. “Yoochun?”. Yoochun forced himself to smile and he nodded. “They will find us, trust me. The others and police are looking for us as I speak, Don’t worry, SuSu” Yoochun spoke the words with confidence in his voice, he had to, for Junsu’s sake. But deep down he too felt how Junsu’s state was right now. Cold, scared and alone. No not alone.. he had Junsu.
Chapter 1.
“Good job everyone!” The camera man bowed to the three boys and praised them for their good work. The others bowed too and thanked everyone for their hard work making this photo shoot. It had been a long tiring day. A interview in the morning, TV performance at midday and now the photo shoot for NII. JaeJoong and Yoochun were tired and their only goal for the night was sleep. Junsu on the other hand was energetic and didn’t stop his laughing, obviously annoying the two others. “Su , please we’re tired” Jae said while he rubbed his eyes as he pushed the door open to their dressing room. Junsu pouted his lips but kept his mouth shut. They changed quickly in to their own clothes and their manager knocked on the door. “The van is at the back of the studio, you will be escorted in 5 minutes , be ready” Junsu, who had been leaning against the door heard the footsteps fade away and he sighed. “So I can’t play video games toni-“ “NO!” Yoochun sighed when Junsu looked hurt. “Sorry , Su. But we are really tired and we need to get some sleep, tomorrow is going to be a long day again.” JaeJoong nodded his head behind Yoochun and held a hand on Junsu’s shoulder. “I promise we are going to play that stupid video game of yours when we have a free day.” Nodding his head, Junsu looked up at his Hyungs. “That’s a promise!”
The boys walked side by side, all of them had a gloom expression on their faces and held their shoulders low. But one thing cheered them up. In a few hours they would be sleeping and Yoochun smiled at the thought. The door closed behind them and they looked up, expecting to see the van in front of them , but there was no van. This was odd… JaeJoong looked around him and Junsu looked questionably at the security guards. The men said nothing but their attitude had changed and for the slightest of seconds they looked concerned. One of them even grabbed his phone and dialed a number. He spoke soft but urgently. “What’s going on?” Junsu asked quietly at JaeJoong. Yoochun who heard Junsu’s question stood next to him and he too looked around just like JaeJoong. “We better get inside the building and wait for the van there.” JaeJoong turned to walk to the door.
Just when Junsu and Yoochun wanted to follow the oldest example they heard the noise of a van. Junsu turned back around in relief and stepped towards the moving van. “Come Yoochun” he said. Yoochun nodded and walked behind Junsu. Jae, who had his hand on the door knob, looked behind him when he too had heard the van. He too stepped forward but was held back by a loud voice shouting. Jae looked up in shock. What is going on? The security guard , who had been on the Phone earlier shouted at Junsu and Yoochun to stop. “STOP!” “What’s going on?!” JaeJoong tried to shout over the security guard’s voice. The man ignored him and tried to beckon the boys back. “Mr. Kim, Mr. Park come back now!” and he ran forward. A second person grabbed Jae and dragged him to the door of the photo shoot building. “No, wait!” Jae shouted and tried to struggle himself free but with no avail. Junsu and Yoochun heard the noise behind them a second too late. The van stopped with screeching tires in front of the two. Yoochun’s eyes widened at the sight of the van in front of them and couldn’t grasp what was happening. He heard Junsu’s gasp when a strong pair of arms grabbed him and dragged him away from Junsu. Junsu screamed in a high voice when he too felt hands on his body and the next second they were being pushed inside the van. Their hands were bounded behind their backs before they realized it and a blindfold obscured their visions. “Yooch…!” Junsu tried to scream but failed when a gag was placed in his mouth and strong duck tape wrapped around his head to keep it in place .Tears filled the corners of his eyes from behind the blind fold as he let them fall in confusion.
It seemed like everything went in slow motion. JaeJoong looked with a blank expression on his features as the van drove off at full speed. The security guards hands had left him long before but he hadn’t realized it. What was happening? Was this a joke? A very bad joke from Junsu and Yoochun? Was this one of those prank tv shows? “Very FUNNY!” JaeJoong shouted at the place where the van had drove off. The security guards turned around with a look of sympathy on their faces. “Whatever joke this is, this is NOT funny!” JaeJoong screamed. “Junsu, Yoochun!” he ran forward but the security stopped him. “Mr. Kim, get a grip on yourself!” one of them said in a low , steady voice. When the men felt that JaeJoong had stopped struggling they let him go and JaeJoong’s knees went weak as he fell down on the ground. He tried not to cry. In all these years, even during TVXQ when they were with five of them he had never cried where people could see him. He had always been the one who had put on a poker face. But the situation had him confused and he felt tears on his cheeks.
“JUNSU! YOOCHUN!” he shouted through the street, calling his friends but they didn’t answer. “Please..! this isn’t funny anymore! Come back!” One of the security men lowered himself to JaeJoong’s eye level and held his hand out. JaeJoong looked up with tears in his eyes and accepted the hand. “We’ve already called the police , they are here shortly, you better get inside before you catch a cold.” The man said with concern in his voice and with a bit resistance, JaeJoong followed him.
A hand forced Jae inside the dressing room and the door was shut closed behind him. “Wait!” he shouted and slammed his fist against the door. “Let me out!” Just when Jae wanted to slam on the door again it opened up and his manager stepped inside. Sweat covered his forehead as one drop slides down over his temple and in to his neck. He looked very concerned. “Mr. Kim , you better sit down” he said but Jae shook his head stubbornly and crossed his arms over each other. “No, what is this? Where are Junsu and Yoochun? What is this for a sick joke?” Jae paced back and forth through the room. A look of disbelieve on his features. Why was this happening? What was happening? “Mr. Kim , you should better stay here , it’s safer. In a few minutes a private escort will bring you to your apartment” “I DON’T want to go to my apartment!” Jae shouted with anger in his voice as he looked at his manager. “JAEJOONG, please!” he tried to reason but JaeJoong couldn’t hear him. “Where are Junsu and Yoochun?” Jae went with his hand through his hair , and for once , he didn’t care if it lost its model. He wanted to open his mouth again but quickly shut it closed when someone knocked on the door. The manager turned around with saying anything to Jae and asked with an cold voice. “Who is there?” An unknown voice answered and the manager opened the door of the dressing room. Slowly, Jae stepped backwards, thinking the worst. After what had happened to his friends he couldn’t relax. What if they came back when they found out that they hadn’t grabbed him!
Jae noticed that the man who walked inside was from the police and he sighed in relief. Maybe things were going to be alright… “Mr. Kim?” Jae looked up at the police officer who had bowed lowly in front of him. “Eh, sorry” Jae began and looked questionably at the man.
“Mr. Kim if you will follow me, my team and i will bring you in safety. “ Jae wanted to refuse but on that point he realized it was pointless. No, he had to wait and hope that the police will find Yoochun and Junsu. Jae nodded his head and followed the police officer with his head hang low. He had to control his emotions, he didn’t to cry in front of everyone else again. When Jae wanted to step inside the vehicle outside his anger overwhelmed him. What kind of insane , sick person would do something like this? “Mr. Kim?” asked one of the officers who stood next to him. The man looked around with caution , expecting the worse. Jae decided not to let him wait any longer and stepped inside the car. He grabbed his phone out of his pocket and looked at it. The thought to call Yunho and Changmin when he was alone came in his mind. He would call them , his old friends weren’t suppose to hear this news on the TV.
Junsu and Yoochun where both pushed against the floor and their pockets where searched. Yoochun felt how his mobile left his pocket and heard how it was dropped on the floor and stamped on it. Junsu too felt how they emptied his pockets and grabbed his phone. This time Yoochun didn’t hear that the phone was being destroyed but saw how one of the kidnappers placed it in his own pocket.
Yoochun wriggled uneasy on the ground, trying to get his bounds loose but to no avail . Raiden, one of the kidnappers looked angry and walked towards the struggling man at his feet and he kicked Yoochun in his side. “Lay still!” He barked while he held his voice changer closer to his mouth. Yoochun groaned in pain but kept quiet. Raiden turned around with a grin and looked at his , in lack of other words “Friends”. He heard Junsu sob and he looked at him for a split second without sympathy. They had those stupid JYJ members…Raiden’s thought’s cut off when he saw that his “friends” hadn’t grabbed that idiot of a JaeJoong. But he had stood close by the security at that time, it would have been suicide to try and catch him too… Raiden moved back and forward in the small van. Hyun , who was driving the van made a sharp turn and both Yoochun and Junsu were smacked against the wall. Even Raiden lost his balance but he managed not to fall. In his anger he kicked Junsu in his side with his foot, and he loved how the man was groaning in pain at his feet.
The driver, Hyun, looked in his behind mirror and looked at Raiden. He expected the worse when he had made the turn. But, they were almost there. If only Raiden controlled his anger for a few minutes.
Song stood up from the back of the van with an ice cold smile on her face. She grabbed a piece of cloth from her back pocket and poured a watery substance over it. She walked towards Junsu who tried to get away when he heard footsteps coming closer. He groaned softly in fear and when Yoochun heard his voice he tried to struggle out of the bonds again. This only lead to another kick in his side from Raiden, harder this time. Raiden looked lovingly at his girlfriend and felt proud. Song pressed the cloth against Junsu’s nose and for a moment he struggled. Junsu tried to gasp for air but coughed when he smelled the substance. Slowly he lost his consciousness and Song stood up with a grin on her features. She then did the same ritual with Yoochun and soon both the singers had fallen unconscious.
Everyone looked at the peaceful looking boys in the middle of the van and they looked at each other meaningful. They got them.
Junsu opened his eyes and tried to move. But he failed because his hands and feet were tied up again.
He opened his eyes wide in shock as he looked around at his surroundings.
He was laying in a dark room. The window next to him was darkened and only a single candle light provided the room with light. “Yoochun?” he asked quietly. How did he end up in this room? And where were JaeJoong and Yoochun? “JaeJoong?” he tried his other friends name. Hoping he would answer. Where was he? And why was he tied up. Was this some kind of sick joke? Junsu tried to push his body up from the Floor but he froze when heard a sudden noise. Junsu heard chuckling but he didn’t know where the sound was coming from. “W-Who’s there” Another chuckle was heard and this time he didn’t ask. His head hurt, not to mention his whole body. Slowly, flashes of memory came back in his mind. Yoochun and he were pushed in a van.. pain… the screaming voices of the security guards.
Junsu eyes widened impossibly wide as he thought about it. What was going to happen to him? And where was Yoochun? Another chuckle made him jump and he wondered who’s it was. It didn’t sound like Yoochun’s. This voice was higher. “Junsu” the voice sounded much different than the chuckles. It sounded surreal. “Junsu Junsu Junsu…” Junsu looked up at the figure as it came from the shadows. He guessed the figure was female, judging by the posture but the voice didn’t sound right. The female said his name again and Junsu knew what was so out of place. She …or he.. he wasn’t sure anymore, was using a voice changer. Junsu tried to say something but he was only catching flies with his mouth open for he was too scared to say anything. Slowly he closed his mouth and the woman looked down at the big shot celebrity with disgust. “Pathetic” she murmered and walked closer to Junsu who tried to get swallowed by the floor. Anything to get away. “Just pathetic” she said again and without another word she turned around and walked away.
Junsu released his breath that he didn’t know he had been holding.
It looked like time stood still but Junsu still felt restless as each minute passed. Fear possessed his body and the candle wax became smaller and smaller. He blinked his eyes, not wanting to let the tears drop. He didn’t want to show weakness, what if the kidnappers were watching him at this moment? He closed his eyes while taking a deep, broken breath and fell in a light sleep.
Junsu’s eyes snapped open like a deer caught in the car lights when he heard the door was being pushed open. He tried to look around but couldn’t see a thing, the candle had been put out. His heart thumped in his chest as he prayed the kidnappers wouldn’t see him in the dark either. If they couldn’t find him they would leave him alone. His prayers were unheard as one of them shuffled towards him and , even though he heard the voice changer , he heard it was one of the males. Junsu’s body shivered, not from cold but from fear. The footsteps became louder and Junsu jumped slightly when a match was lighted and he could see his attacker placing another candle on the table , putting it on. But at this point he wasn’t looking at the candle, he was looking at the man beside it. “Y-yoo” Junsu stared at Yoochun but the male next to him started to move and his attention was brought back to him. The male wore a clowns mask, cold eyes looked at him from through the holes.
Junsu was happy when he could lean his shoulder against Yoochun He looked up at him but he quickly looked to the ground when the male talked again. “How cute” he said, in a obvious mock way as he walked to the two boys. Junsu tried to get closer to Yoochun but he was being stopped by his handcuffs. “Yoochun, untie Junsu” The male said and threw a knife in his direction. It landed in front of him and for a split second, Yoochun’s eyes shined. “Don’t do anything stupid” the other male said with a grin and grabbed a gun from the front of his jeans. “Or I’m going to shoot his pretty little brains out” The man smiled when Yoochun nodded his head and moved to cut the robes off. Junsu tried not to move, tried not to breath as he felt the barrel of the gun against his forehead. Sweat drops slided down from his forehead down his temple. He jerked slightly when the kidnapper bend down, the barrel pushing harder against his forehead and grabbed the knife from the ground. The knife disappeared in his pocket.
“Stand up” the man snapped and the two stood up. Junsu grabbed Yoochun’s hand and he felt the other giving it a small squeeze. The door opened up again and Yoochun thought it could be their chance to run away if it wasn’t for the gun that was pointing directly at Junsu’s heart. They watched as one of the other kidnappers walked in with a stool in his hands. It was placed in the middle of the room. “SIT!” the leader of the gang snapped and repointed the gun at Junsu. Yoochun felt that Junsu was going to break if anything else happened. “Let me do it” he offered. Yoochun looked directly in to the barrel of the gun and for a second he could swear he saw a hint of panic in the other ones eyes through the mask. “As you wish” The man said and grabbed Yoochun’s collar and dropped him on the stool. The second man grabbed a digital cam recorder and switched it on. This was going to be priceless… “Junsu” the other man said and junsu jumped at the mention of his name. “Hit Yoochun as hard as you can in his face” Junsu’s eyes widened in shock. “W-What?” he stuttered. “NOW!” the man screamed as he pointed the gun to Yoochun. Junsu noticed he had no choise. He walked towards his best friend, tears streaming down his cheeks. His hand made a fist and he raised it in the air. “It’s ok” he heard Yoochun whisper to him. Junsu slapped Yoochun across his face. His fist touched his jaw. Yoochun looked calmly back, thankful that he had been hit. He had the feeling junsu couldn’t take it if he was the one doing the hitting. The kidnapper with the camera laughed as he walked to the front, filming Yoochun in close up. They were going to be rich. “AGAIN!” the leader snapped to Junsu and he hit Yoochun hard enough to make him fall off the stool but not so hard to leave damage. “Get up” . Yoochun struggled to get up and noticed that blood was sticking to his face. “Now, beg in to the camera , you’re friend Jaejoong will be getting this message.” The camera man made sure to film both Yoochun and Junsu. “Jae…” Yoochun was the on to speak, voice just over a whisper. “Please..help us” The man with the gun walked in to the picture. His clown mask giving him
Anonymity. “If you want to see your friends again, i want to see some money!” he said as he press the gun against Yoochun’s temple. “Tomorrow night at 7pm you will receive a phone call. If you don’t pick it up , they die. If you notify the police, they die. “ The camera was switched off and the two men walked away. Not giving the two broken men a look. Soon, the film would be send to Jae and they would be rich!
Steam filled the bathroom. Jaejoong stood under the shower with his eyes closed. He let the water rinse his back as he thought about what had happened. Everything went so fast. His best friends had been kidnapped and there had been nothing he could do. Jaejoong gulped down his saliva and breathed brokenly. He wanted his friends back, he wanted to hear them laughing, he wanted to chase after Junsu through the house when he had put on the water tap downstairs , making the shower go extremely cold or hot. Jaejoong sighed and started to wash his hair. The water rinsed the shampoo off his head as he made circulation movements with his hands. He grabbed the body lotion and smeared it on his body. He grabbed the shower head and started to rinse the lotion off too. He sighed again as he placed the head back and turned off the shower. He opened the curtains and jaejoong stepped out of the shower with a shiver. The walls were moistures from the heat and he grabbed a towel that hang close by. Drying his hair with the small towel, Jaejoong wrapped it around his head and proceeded to dry his body. He grabbed another towel from the drawer below the sink and as he stood up he looked at himself in the mirror. He always had pale skin but now it looked ghostly. The dark rings under his eyes giving him the impression he hadn’t slept in days. Jaejoong looked away from his reflection and continued drying himself up. When he was done he grabbed his boxer and placed it on.
Opening the door of the bathroom, Jaejoong stepped in to the hall way and went to his room. He passed Junsu’s room and he couldn’t help but look inside. Every time he walked passed one of the other boy’s rooms he had to check. He had that weird feeling in his stomach that they would pop up in their rooms all of the sudden and all would be well. Of course, this wasn’t a fairytale. His friends wouldn’t just pop up and he closed the door with a pang in his heart. He stepped in to his own room and opened up his closet. He grabbed one of his pajamas and placed it on. He sighed at the warmth and proceeded to go down the stairs.
Entering the kitchen, Jaejoong opened the refrigerator and grabbed the bottle of milk. He heard a movement from outside and he looked up to see through the tiny kitchen window. It was dark and he looked at the back of one of the security’s heads. The noise had been when the security man had sneezed. Ever since he had gotten back to his house, Jaejoong found himself surrounded by security. Their manager obviously didn’t want anything to happen to Jaejoong either so he was being held prisoner in his own house with the security guards watching him 24/7.
He placed the milk in the refrigerator and closed the door. He moved towards the living room, thinking it would be better to watch the tv. He set down on the couch and pressed the TV on. He zapped through the channels, nothing interested him. His heart skipped a beat however when he saw himself on the TV. It was an interview and he , Junsu and Yoochun were laughing happily. Jaejoong watched transfixed at the screen. Giving a small laugh when he heard Junsu’s Eun kyang kyang laugh. Sleep overwhelmed him as his eyes fell close every few seconds. Soon he fell in a deep sleep and the remote control fell out of his loose hand and on to the carpet.
He didn’t know how long he had been sleeping. Birds were chirping outside and Jaejoong groaned when a ray of sunlight hit his face. He wanted to turn around but upon doing so he fell on the ground. He pushed his body up with a groan and remembered that he had fallen asleep on the couch. The man stretched his body and yawned. He wondered what the time was. But first he needed something to eat. He pushed himself off of the ground with his hands supporting the table. He was about to stand up when his legs gave out and he fell again. Jaejoong looked with wide eyes at a thick envelope that laid on the table. He was sure that hadn’t been there when he came in yesterday. With shaking hands, Jaejoong grabbed the envelope and sat down on the couch. He opened it slowly, scared that it could be a letter bomb. He grabbed a video tape out of the envelope and he frowned. Surely this was another video from a crazy fan, saying how much she loved them and that she demanded to get married with one of them. Jaejoong stood up from the couch and walked to the CVR recorder. He placed the video in it and pressed play when he sat back down on the couch.
Jaejoong yelled at the sight of the screen. Two boys were being filmed , one was beating the other. Tears streamed down his cheeks when he saw instantly that those two boys were his friends. He was too shocked to hear what was being said and his vision became blurry with his tears. He heard something that had to do with 7pm but he hadn’t been sure. White noise made him jump and he fell back on the couch. This wasn’t happening. He thought as he sobbed in his hands. Why would anyone do such a thing? Jaejoong grabbed all of his courage and pressed the play button again. Like the first time his heart felt like it was being stomped on but this time he needed to focus on the kidnappers. “Tomorrow night at 7pm you will receive a phone call. If you don’t pick it up , they die. If you notify the police, they die. “ Jaejoong stared at the screen with the white noise again. He quickly looked at his watch and read it was 11 am in the morning. He grabbed his phone and looked in his contact list. At the bottom was a name he hadn’t called in such a long time. The kidnappers never said he couldn’t call anyone besides the police right? He took a deep breath and pressed the call button.
He waited a few beeps and his throat went dry when he heard a familiar voice that he loved so much on the other side of the phone. “Hello?”

But the situation had him confused and he felt tears on his cheeks.
“JUNSU! YOOCHUN!” he shouted through the street, calling his friends but they didn’t answer. “Please..! this isn’t funny anymore! Come back!” One of the security men lowered himself to JaeJoong’s eye level and held his hand out. JaeJoong looked up with tears in his eyes and accepted the hand. “We’ve already called the police , they are here shortly, you better get inside before you catch a cold.” The man said with concern in his voice and with a bit resistance, JaeJoong followed him.
A hand forced Jae inside the dressing room and the door was shut closed behind him. “Wait!” he shouted and slammed his fist against the door. “Let me out!” Just when Jae wanted to slam on the door again it opened up and his manager stepped inside. Sweat covered his forehead as one drop slides down over his temple and in to his neck. He looked very concerned. “Mr. Kim , you better sit down” he said but Jae shook his head stubbornly and crossed his arms over each other. “No, what is this? Where are Junsu and Yoochun? What is this for a sick joke?” Jae paced back and forth through the room. A look of disbelieve on his features. Why was this happening? What was happening? “Mr. Kim , you should better stay here , it’s safer. In a few minutes a private escort will bring you to your apartment” “I DON’T want to go to my apartment!” Jae shouted with anger in his voice as he looked at his manager. “JAEJOONG, please!” he tried to reason but JaeJoong couldn’t hear him. “Where are Junsu and Yoochun?” Jae went with his hand through his hair , and for once , he didn’t care if it lost its model. He wanted to open his mouth again but quickly shut it closed when someone knocked on the door. The manager turned around with saying anything to Jae and asked with an cold voice. “Who is there?” An unknown voice answered and the manager opened the door of the dressing room. Slowly, Jae stepped backwards, thinking the worst. After what had happened to his friends he couldn’t relax. What if they came back when they found out that they hadn’t grabbed him!
Jae noticed that the man who walked inside was from the police and he sighed in relief. Maybe things were going to be alright… “Mr. Kim?” Jae looked up at the police officer who had bowed lowly in front of him. “Eh, sorry” Jae began and looked questionably at the man.
“Mr. Kim if you will follow me, my team and i will bring you in safety. “ Jae wanted to refuse but on that point he realized it was pointless. No, he had to wait and hope that the police will find Yoochun and Junsu. Jae nodded his head and followed the police officer with his head hang low. He had to control his emotions, he didn’t to cry in front of everyone else again. When Jae wanted to step inside the vehicle outside his anger overwhelmed him. What kind of insane , sick person would do something like this? “Mr. Kim?” asked one of the officers who stood next to him. The man looked around with caution , expecting the worse. Jae decided not to let him wait any longer and stepped inside the car. He grabbed his phone out of his pocket and looked at it. The thought to call Yunho and Changmin when he was alone came in his mind. He would call them , his old friends weren’t suppose to hear this news on the TV.
Junsu and Yoochun where both pushed against the floor and their pockets where searched. Yoochun felt how his mobile left his pocket and heard how it was dropped on the floor and stamped on it. Junsu too felt how they emptied his pockets and grabbed his phone. This time Yoochun didn’t hear that the phone was being destroyed but saw how one of the kidnappers placed it in his own pocket.
Yoochun wriggled uneasy on the ground, trying to get his bounds loose but to no avail . Raiden, one of the kidnappers looked angry and walked towards the struggling man at his feet and he kicked Yoochun in his side. “Lay still!” He barked while he held his voice changer closer to his mouth. Yoochun groaned in pain but kept quiet. Raiden turned around with a grin and looked at his , in lack of other words “Friends”. He heard Junsu sob and he looked at him for a split second without sympathy. They had those stupid JYJ members…Raiden’s thought’s cut off when he saw that his “friends” hadn’t grabbed that idiot of a JaeJoong. But he had stood close by the security at that time, it would have been suicide to try and catch him too… Raiden moved back and forward in the small van. Hyun , who was driving the van made a sharp turn and both Yoochun and Junsu were smacked against the wall. Even Raiden lost his balance but he managed not to fall. In his anger he kicked Junsu in his side with his foot, and he loved how the man was groaning in pain at his feet.
The driver, Hyun, looked in his behind mirror and looked at Raiden. He expected the worse when he had made the turn. But, they were almost there. If only Raiden controlled his anger for a few minutes.
Song stood up from the back of the van with an ice cold smile on her face. She grabbed a piece of cloth from her back pocket and poured a watery substance over it. She walked towards Junsu who tried to get away when he heard footsteps coming closer. He groaned softly in fear and when Yoochun heard his voice he tried to struggle out of the bonds again. This only lead to another kick in his side from Raiden, harder this time. Raiden looked lovingly at his girlfriend and felt proud. Song pressed the cloth against Junsu’s nose and for a moment he struggled. Junsu tried to gasp for air but coughed when he smelled the substance. Slowly he lost his consciousness and Song stood up with a grin on her features. She then did the same ritual with Yoochun and soon both the singers had fallen unconscious.
Everyone looked at the peaceful looking boys in the middle of the van and they looked at each other meaningful. They got them.
Junsu opened his eyes and tried to move. But he failed because his hands and feet were tied up again.
He opened his eyes wide in shock as he looked around at his surroundings.
He was laying in a dark room. The window next to him was darkened and only a single candle light provided the room with light. “Yoochun?” he asked quietly. How did he end up in this room? And where were JaeJoong and Yoochun? “JaeJoong?” he tried his other friends name. Hoping he would answer. Where was he? And why was he tied up. Was this some kind of sick joke? Junsu tried to push his body up from the Floor but he froze when heard a sudden noise. Junsu heard chuckling but he didn’t know where the sound was coming from. “W-Who’s there” Another chuckle was heard and this time he didn’t ask. His head hurt, not to mention his whole body. Slowly, flashes of memory came back in his mind. Yoochun and he were pushed in a van.. pain… the screaming voices of the security guards.
Junsu eyes widened impossibly wide as he thought about it. What was going to happen to him? And where was Yoochun? Another chuckle made him jump and he wondered who’s it was. It didn’t sound like Yoochun’s. This voice was higher. “Junsu” the voice sounded much different than the chuckles. It sounded surreal. “Junsu Junsu Junsu…” Junsu looked up at the figure as it came from the shadows. He guessed the figure was female, judging by the posture but the voice didn’t sound right. The female said his name again and Junsu knew what was so out of place. She …or he.. he wasn’t sure anymore, was using a voice changer. Junsu tried to say something but he was only catching flies with his mouth open for he was too scared to say anything. Slowly he closed his mouth and the woman looked down at the big shot celebrity with disgust. “Pathetic” she murmered and walked closer to Junsu who tried to get swallowed by the floor. Anything to get away. “Just pathetic” she said again and without another word she turned around and walked away.
Junsu released his breath that he didn’t know he had been holding.
It looked like time stood still but Junsu still felt restless as each minute passed. Fear possessed his body and the candle wax became smaller and smaller. He blinked his eyes, not wanting to let the tears drop. He didn’t want to show weakness, what if the kidnappers were watching him at this moment? He closed his eyes while taking a deep, broken breath and fell in a light sleep.
Junsu’s eyes snapped open like a deer caught in the car lights when he heard the door was being pushed open. He tried to look around but couldn’t see a thing, the candle had been put out. His heart thumped in his chest as he prayed the kidnappers wouldn’t see him in the dark either. If they couldn’t find him they would leave him alone. His prayers were unheard as one of them shuffled towards him and , even though he heard the voice changer , he heard it was one of the males. Junsu’s body shivered, not from cold but from fear. The footsteps became louder and Junsu jumped slightly when a match was lighted and he could see his attacker placing another candle on the table , putting it on. But at this point he wasn’t looking at the candle, he was looking at the man beside it. “Y-yoo” Junsu stared at Yoochun but the male next to him started to move and his attention was brought back to him. The male wore a clowns mask, cold eyes looked at him from through the holes.
Junsu was happy when he could lean his shoulder against Yoochun He looked up at him but he quickly looked to the ground when the male talked again. “How cute” he said, in a obvious mock way as he walked to the two boys. Junsu tried to get closer to Yoochun but he was being stopped by his handcuffs. “Yoochun, untie Junsu” The male said and threw a knife in his direction. It landed in front of him and for a split second, Yoochun’s eyes shined. “Don’t do anything stupid” the other male said with a grin and grabbed a gun from the front of his jeans. “Or I’m going to shoot his pretty little brains out” The man smiled when Yoochun nodded his head and moved to cut the robes off. Junsu tried not to move, tried not to breath as he felt the barrel of the gun against his forehead. Sweat drops slided down from his forehead down his temple. He jerked slightly when the kidnapper bend down, the barrel pushing harder against his forehead and grabbed the knife from the ground. The knife disappeared in his pocket.
“Stand up” the man snapped and the two stood up. Junsu grabbed Yoochun’s hand and he felt the other giving it a small squeeze. The door opened up again and Yoochun thought it could be their chance to run away if it wasn’t for the gun that was pointing directly at Junsu’s heart. They watched as one of the other kidnappers walked in with a stool in his hands. It was placed in the middle of the room. “SIT!” the leader of the gang snapped and repointed the gun at Junsu. Yoochun felt that Junsu was going to break if anything else happened. “Let me do it” he offered. Yoochun looked directly in to the barrel of the gun and for a second he could swear he saw a hint of panic in the other ones eyes through the mask. “As you wish” The man said and grabbed Yoochun’s collar and dropped him on the stool. The second man grabbed a digital cam recorder and switched it on. This was going to be priceless… “Junsu” the other man said and junsu jumped at the mention of his name. “Hit Yoochun as hard as you can in his face” Junsu’s eyes widened in shock. “W-What?” he stuttered. “NOW!” the man screamed as he pointed the gun to Yoochun. Junsu noticed he had no choise. He walked towards his best friend, tears streaming down his cheeks. His hand made a fist and he raised it in the air. “It’s ok” he heard Yoochun whisper to him. Junsu slapped Yoochun across his face. His fist touched his jaw. Yoochun looked calmly back, thankful that he had been hit. He had the feeling junsu couldn’t take it if he was the one doing the hitting. The kidnapper with the camera laughed as he walked to the front, filming Yoochun in close up. They were going to be rich. “AGAIN!” the leader snapped to Junsu and he hit Yoochun hard enough to make him fall off the stool but not so hard to leave damage. “Get up” . Yoochun struggled to get up and noticed that blood was sticking to his face. “Now, beg in to the camera , you’re friend Jaejoong will be getting this message.” The camera man made sure to film both Yoochun and Junsu. “Jae…” Yoochun was the on to speak, voice just over a whisper. “Please..help us” The man with the gun walked in to the picture. His clown mask giving him
Anonymity. “If you want to see your friends again, i want to see some money!” he said as he press the gun against Yoochun’s temple. “Tomorrow night at 7pm you will receive a phone call. If you don’t pick it up , they die. If you notify the police, they die. “ The camera was switched off and the two men walked away. Not giving the two broken men a look. Soon, the film would be send to Jae and they would be rich!
Steam filled the bathroom. Jaejoong stood under the shower with his eyes closed. He let the water rinse his back as he thought about what had happened. Everything went so fast. His best friends had been kidnapped and there had been nothing he could do. Jaejoong gulped down his saliva and breathed brokenly. He wanted his friends back, he wanted to hear them laughing, he wanted to chase after Junsu through the house when he had put on the water tap downstairs , making the shower go extremely cold or hot. Jaejoong sighed and started to wash his hair. The water rinsed the shampoo off his head as he made circulation movements with his hands. He grabbed the body lotion and smeared it on his body. He grabbed the shower head and started to rinse the lotion off too. He sighed again as he placed the head back and turned off the shower. He opened the curtains and jaejoong stepped out of the shower with a shiver. The walls were moistures from the heat and he grabbed a towel that hang close by. Drying his hair with the small towel, Jaejoong wrapped it around his head and proceeded to dry his body. He grabbed another towel from the drawer below the sink and as he stood up he looked at himself in the mirror. He always had pale skin but now it looked ghostly. The dark rings under his eyes giving him the impression he hadn’t slept in days. Jaejoong looked away from his reflection and continued drying himself up. When he was done he grabbed his boxer and placed it on.
Opening the door of the bathroom, Jaejoong stepped in to the hall way and went to his room. He passed Junsu’s room and he couldn’t help but look inside. Every time he walked passed one of the other boy’s rooms he had to check. He had that weird feeling in his stomach that they would pop up in their rooms all of the sudden and all would be well. Of course, this wasn’t a fairytale. His friends wouldn’t just pop up and he closed the door with a pang in his heart. He stepped in to his own room and opened up his closet. He grabbed one of his pajamas and placed it on. He sighed at the warmth and proceeded to go down the stairs.
Entering the kitchen, Jaejoong opened the refrigerator and grabbed the bottle of milk. He heard a movement from outside and he looked up to see through the tiny kitchen window. It was dark and he looked at the back of one of the security’s heads. The noise had been when the security man had sneezed. Ever since he had gotten back to his house, Jaejoong found himself surrounded by security. Their manager obviously didn’t want anything to happen to Jaejoong either so he was being held prisoner in his own house with the security guards watching him 24/7.
He placed the milk in the refrigerator and closed the door. He moved towards the living room, thinking it would be better to watch the tv. He set down on the couch and pressed the TV on. He zapped through the channels, nothing interested him. His heart skipped a beat however when he saw himself on the TV. It was an interview and he , Junsu and Yoochun were laughing happily. Jaejoong watched transfixed at the screen. Giving a small laugh when he heard Junsu’s Eun kyang kyang laugh. Sleep overwhelmed him as his eyes fell close every few seconds. Soon he fell in a deep sleep and the remote control fell out of his loose hand and on to the carpet.
He didn’t know how long he had been sleeping. Birds were chirping outside and Jaejoong groaned when a ray of sunlight hit his face. He wanted to turn around but upon doing so he fell on the ground. He pushed his body up with a groan and remembered that he had fallen asleep on the couch. The man stretched his body and yawned. He wondered what the time was. But first he needed something to eat. He pushed himself off of the ground with his hands supporting the table. He was about to stand up when his legs gave out and he fell again. Jaejoong looked with wide eyes at a thick envelope that laid on the table. He was sure that hadn’t been there when he came in yesterday. With shaking hands, Jaejoong grabbed the envelope and sat down on the couch. He opened it slowly, scared that it could be a letter bomb. He grabbed a video tape out of the envelope and he frowned. Surely this was another video from a crazy fan, saying how much she loved them and that she demanded to get married with one of them. Jaejoong stood up from the couch and walked to the CVR recorder. He placed the video in it and pressed play when he sat back down on the couch.
Jaejoong yelled at the sight of the screen. Two boys were being filmed , one was beating the other. Tears streamed down his cheeks when he saw instantly that those two boys were his friends. He was too shocked to hear what was being said and his vision became blurry with his tears. He heard something that had to do with 7pm but he hadn’t been sure. White noise made him jump and he fell back on the couch. This wasn’t happening. He thought as he sobbed in his hands. Why would anyone do such a thing? Jaejoong grabbed all of his courage and pressed the play button again. Like the first time his heart felt like it was being stomped on but this time he needed to focus on the kidnappers. “Tomorrow night at 7pm you will receive a phone call. If you don’t pick it up , they die. If you notify the police, they die. “ Jaejoong stared at the screen with the white noise again. He quickly looked at his watch and read it was 11 am in the morning. He grabbed his phone and looked in his contact list. At the bottom was a name he hadn’t called in such a long time. The kidnappers never said he couldn’t call anyone besides the police right? He took a deep breath and pressed the call button.
He waited a few beeps and his throat went dry when he heard a familiar voice that he loved so much on the other side of the phone. “Hello?”
