Chapter Text
Sitting at the dinner table were Mafia lord Hongjoong with his husband & two sons San and Jongho. San barely touched his plate while Jongho ate away at his. He looked over at his hyung and wanted to ask if he was feeling alright but didn't want to ruin the peaceful dinner. Hongjoong catches on and sets his silverware down which puts the table on alert. They all turn their attention to Hongjoong.
“Something wrong son?” He asked San.
“I'm sorry. I have a lot on my mind.” He apologized.
“Did someone spot you while you were on that assignment?” His gaze intimidated San from lying.
“Well…” He hesitated to answer. The mission was supposed to be a quick clean up in an alley but the person put up a struggle. When he took the guy out & hid the body however, he had a deep cut on his hand that he failed to recognize before leaving the alley.
“There’s this guy. He’s really nice and bandages my wounds whenever I'm on the way back from a mission. I'm thinking of introducing him to our family.” He shared his story with everyone. San was unable to eat so excused himself early from dinner. Jongho was surprised that their dad just gave a nod and returned to eating. When San was out of ear shot Hongjoong turned to Seonghwa. Before he could say anything Seonghwa laid his silverware down.
“Joong no. I can tell just by how you're looking that you are planning something.”
“We have to. I told San I wanted no witnesses.”
“But Hyung said-”
“Jongho stay out of this.” Hongjoong cuts him off. “Contact Mingi and tell him to do some intel on whoever this guy is. Then send Yunho out to find him.”
“We're not putting a hit on someone who was being a good Samaritan to our son.” Seonghwa protests.
“I'm not asking for him to be killed. We're inviting him into our home.” Jongho knew this was code for a kidnapping. Last time dad had said he was inviting someone, the said person came in with a bag over his head tied up. They tortured and interrogated him until they got the information they needed.
“As your Husband I need to inform you that this will only bring trouble to our gang. What if the parents find out we took their child? Then what?”
“I've got it handled. Give the call now Hwa.”
“Just because you're the head Alpha of this house doesn't mean I'll let you bring a stranger into our family’s safe haven. This conversation isn't over.” Hwa throws his handkerchief on the table before stepping out. Hongjoong stares at Jongho who is waiting for permission to leave. Hongjoong wipes his mouth before standing up from the table.
“Finish eating and go to your room. I've got work waiting for my return.”
“Yes, Father. I'm sorry for interfering.”
“It's ok Jongho, I know you care about your hyung but his careless mistake will put us in danger and I can't bear the idea of losing all of you.” He pats Jongho on the head before going upstairs to his and Hwa’s shared bedroom.
“Stupid!” San yelling at himself. Jongho walks in, seeing San throwing his pillow at the wall.
“Hyung, please don't be angry. It's not your fault.”
“Dad is going to hurt him. I just know he will! Wooyoung doesn't even know we're a mafia family!” San groaned as he slammed his back onto his mattress.
“Hyung, sneak out to warn him before dad sends his henchmen. After you left dinner dad plans to have him kidnapped and interrogated.”
“How? The henchmen are guarding the front entrance.”
“Follow me to the garden. There's a secret exit that I use whenever I want to hangout with friends.”
“I don't give a damn Joongie. I'm not going to stand by like some trophy wife.” Seonghwa was in the process of changing into his sleepwear after a quick shower.
“Baby I'm sorry you feel that way but-” His apology was cut off by a wet towel that Hwa used to dry his hair.
“No buts! I hate seeing you take on everything for this family and not asking me once for any assistance. We're supposed to be a team when we get married! I'm trying to help you dammit.” Seeing Hwa this angry put Joong back in his place. Not wanting to continue this argument, he gave a sigh in defeat.
“Fine you win. I’ll hold off on staging the kidnapping. I still want Mingi to look into this guy just in case he has connections.”
“Thank you. Now come to bed.” Hwa pulls Joong closer by his shirt tie.
“I got too much work.” Joong puts his hands around Hwa’s waist.
“It can wait. My need for cuddles can't.” Hwa pulled Joong on the bed and lay on top of him.
1 HOUR LATER
Jongho stood in the garden waiting for his brother to return. He walked around making sure no one would suspect that he was guarding the secret exit in their family's estate. His watch reads “10:58pm”, San should've been back by now. The drive into the city is relatively close to their estate.
“Show yourself!” Someone shouts as they're charging towards Jongho. He stands in place ready to fight.
“It's me! Jongho!” He shouts at Mingi who points his firearm.
“The hell are you doing out here?” he puts his pistol back into the hip holster.
“Came for some Fresh air. Dinner didn't end well.”
“Explains why Dad had me order Yunho to send out the Halateez unit after Mom went to bed.”
“Halateez?”
“Yeah, Dad said he went to San’s room and he wasn't in there. He told me to search the yard in case he was sneaking out.” Mingi Explained.
“Oh shit. Hyung is in trouble.” Jongho thought.
“You wouldn't happen to know why San is missing?” Mingi asked.
“Intel, report back! This is Captain Kim speaking.” Mingi’s ear monitor rang.
“I ran into Jongho in the garden. No sighting of San Hyung.”
“Don't worry, Yunho has already reported to me that they are in pursuit.”
Minutes ago after San snuck out, he got on his bike. He turned the ignition and sped down the hill of their estate. No time for brakes he kept the throttle down as he dodged through the city traffic. Only thing on his mind was to find Wooyoung before anything happened. As he made entrance to the familiar neighborhood, he slowed his motorcycle down to get a better view of the surroundings.
“Thanks for helping me clean up Yeosang.” Wooyoung locked up his family's small clinic behind his friend.
“No problem, it's pretty late. Do you want me to walk with ya?”
“Your apartment is in the opposite direction though.”
“It's safer if we walk together at night. Plus I don't mind taking the long way home.” Yeosang puts his arm in front of Wooyoung as soon as San pulls up. Wooyoung gets behind him in case the stranger tries to attack.
“Thank god I found you.” San puts the parking brake on his bike before removing his helmet.
“Sannie! How's your arm doing?” Wooyoung’s eyes lit up.
“What are you wanting my friend for?” Yeosang interrogates San.
“Wooyoung needs to get outta here. I came to rescue him before my dad's henchmen arrive.” San hands the helmet to Wooyoung.
“Henchmen? What are you talking about?”
“I'll explain later but for now get on.”
“Hold up! I'm not letting you run off with him! You're just a stranger!”
“It's ok Yeosang. He's the friendly alpha I told you about.”
“I swear, didn't your parents teach you stranger danger?” Their argument gets interrupted when a black car pulls up to their location. Without hesitation, San pulls Wooyoung onto the bike. Wooyoung buckles the helmet on before wrapping his arms tight around San’s waist. Wooyoung looks back at his friend that is fighting off the gang before he's pinned down.
“Who are those guys!?” Wooyoung shouting his question.
“The Black Pirates’s special unit. My father hires them whenever he needs to seek out a special target of interest.” San Answers while whipping into an empty street to gain acceleration.
“Why are they after me? I haven't done anything!” San doesn't answer him but focuses on speeding up to distance the car that is chasing them. The car pulls up beside them and rows the passenger window down.
“Pull over right now San or we will use any means necessary!” Yunho pokes his head out.
“Fuck off!” San makes a right turn taking them downtown. High speed down a hill while avoiding cars, the Yunho tries to snipe at the bike. Wooyoung squeezes San out of absolute fear.
“Get ready to jump, Woo! I'm gonna make a dive!” San takes them straight down the wooden dock that is by the lake. When they reach the edge of the dock, they dive into the water leaving the bike on land. The car’s brakes screech as Yunho’s team is forced to make a sudden halt. Yunho is the first out the car and sprints to the end of the dock. He waves his flashlight at the water checking for their shadow. Yunho takes his walkie talkie out his side belt.
“Shit! Captain this is Golden Retriever. San & the Target has escaped in the water. Permission to pursue them on boat.” He reported.
“That won't be necessary. They'll have to come up for air at some point. Keep a lookout.” Hongjoong commands.
“Roger. Stakeout the perimeter, Captain’s orders!” Yunho returns to his crew.
“Hyung! Let me out!” Jongho was escorted to the basement with a few guards and Mingi.
“I'm sorry Jongho, father told me to do this.” Mingi apologized from behind the iron bars.
“I wasn't going to sneak out if that's what he thinks!”
“Make sure he's not hiding anything in his pockets.” Mingi orders the guard before going upstairs. The guard takes away Jongho’s phone and wrist watch before locking the cell back. 30 minutes later two henchmen come downstairs struggling to hold on to an angered San.
“Get in there!” San is violently pushed to the ground as another guard sits on his back to tie his restraints. When he is fully restrained, the guard runs out and locks the cell door. San flips over on his back and thrashes around.
“Hyung!” Jongho runs over to the glass wall to check his brother's condition. He had a small cut on his lip, a bruise on the side of his right cheek and some dried blood on his chin. His clothes were soaked from being in the water.
“They took him! They took him!” San repeats while foaming out his mouth. He was almost in a feral alpha state which worried Jongho.
“Calm down Hyung!” Jongho beat on the glass barrier between him and San’s cell.
“Where are you taking me?” Wooyoung asked one of the henchmen, but got no response. Wooyoung stumbled into a dark shed that was in the garden. Inside Yeosang laid on the ground with tape on his mouth and was shackled to the wall by his hands and feet. Wooyoung crawled over to his blindfolded friend. Yeosang whimpers when he senses his friend is close by.
“Yeosang it's me! Wooyoung! My hands are tied right now but I'll try to find a way to get us both outta here.” Woo whispers while scooting across the small shed.
Hongjoong was walking downstairs to join up with Yunho in the interrogation. Before he could make it to the last step, a bullet zipped past him and hit the rail. He looks up at Seonghwa pointing his sniper’s barrel at him.
“ I have no time for a lover's quarrel.”
“You went behind my back and now my babies are in distress! You will back off right now!” He hissed as he gave another warning shot that knocked Hongjoong’s hat off.
“What will shooting me accomplish anything? Get your Omega instincts in check now.” Hongjoong commands Hwa to submit to him.
“I refuse to submit until the San and Jongho are ok!” Hwa’s mating bite proceeds to singe the side of his neck. Even through the pain he makes his way closer, stepping slowly down the stairs with his barrel still pointed at his Alpha.
“If you don't submit this instant Seonghwa.”
“Go to hell Ah!” The mark started to burn even hotter.
“Will you submit If I tell you that San is already getting too attached to that Omega and is currently on the verge of a feral state? That's why I'm trying to sever them before it's too late.”
“Stop… lying…” The stair rail was what held Hwa up from him falling down. When he makes it to the bottom step Hongjoong pulls him into a hug. The mark finally stopped burning and Hongjoong kissed it.
“It's ok, my shining star. I know you love our children so much but he has to be separated so he doesn't run the risk of officially mating with that filth. An Omega like that has no place in this family.”
