I love you
episode. 9
Although I was still in a daze, perhaps due to the effects of the sleeping pills, I could tell that I was at my uncle's house.
I ended up back where I had just barely escaped.
김준면
"Ugh..."
김무열
"Are you awake?"
When I regained consciousness and overcame my hazy state, my wrists were tied with cable ties.
김준면
"...release this right now."
김무열
"Junmyun has grown a lot. He used to be helpless against me-"
김준면
"I don't have to treat you like an uncle, do I?"
김무열
"Haa... It's been a while since I've made you so angry."
My uncle became serious and then started beating me.
puck-!
김준면
"Ugh!"
김무열
"You can never beat me."
Phew-!
김준면
"Ahh...!! "
김무열
"It's funny to see you in pain after such a long time-"
My uncle took pleasure in seeing me suffer.
It hurt, but I could actually bear this pain.
김준면
" ha.... "
김무열
"You can tolerate this?"
김준면
"...Let's do it one more time. Haha"
He looked at his uncle, smirked, and rebelled, telling him to try again.
김무열
"Ha... Our Junmyeon has become more resilient, he even knows how to rebel-"
김준면
"I knew I would meet you someday."
김무열
"Can this really be endured?"
My uncle dragged me to the pool.
The smell of disinfectant in the pool started to sting my nose and it was so unpleasant.
김무열
"It's been a while, hasn't it?"
김준면
" ........ "
The truth is, I was still afraid of water. The mere thought of it made me feel suffocated.
김준면
" ha... "
The sound of him gasping for breath reached his uncle, and upon hearing it, he began to laugh hysterically.
김무열
"Are you still afraid of water?"
김준면
" ....... "
김무열
"It's been a while since I've been here, so shouldn't I taste the water?"
김준면
"Don't, please..."
Ignoring the warnings, I started to soak my face in water.
The painful water torture began again.
Phew-!
김준면
"Ouch! Kehek-!"
김무열
"As expected, you are in my hands."
김준면
" ha..... "
Phew-!
김준면
"Keuk...! Phew..."
I repeated this process of soaking and taking it out dozens of times.
김준면
" ha.... "
김무열
"No one is coming to save you? Hahaha"
Luckily, just in time, my cell phone started ringing from inside my uncle's clothes.
김무열
"Let's see who called-?"
My uncle took out my phone and pressed the answer button, and I heard Lee Min-hyeok's voice on the phone.
이민혁
'Hey, Kim Junmyeon, where are you?'
김준면
" ....Minhyuk, haa..."
이민혁
'Hey, why does your voice sound like that?'
My uncle grabbed my head again and dipped it into the water.
Phew-!
김준면
"Ugh! Kehek-! Huh..."
이민혁
'Kim Moo-yeol... this crazy bastard...'
김무열
"What harsh words."
이민혁
'I won't leave you alone.'
김무열
"Come here sometime. Hahaha I'll take really good care of Junmyeon-"
Thump-
My uncle quickly hung up the phone and started kicking me.
puck-!
김무열
"It's a tearful friendship, isn't it? You have friends, too-"
김준면
"Don't talk nonsense. I'm better than people like you-"
Finally, after speaking, I lost consciousness.
I don't know how many hours had passed since I collapsed, but when I came to, I was in a room I had never seen before.
My uncle was lying next to me and looking at me.
김무열
"Are you awake?"
김준면
" ...What on earth is the reason for this?"
김무열
"I told you, I'm going to make you my doll."
I finally realized it. My uncle was just trying to use me like a puppet.
It was a plan to somehow control me so that only my uncle and I would be left.
김무열
"You get it now? Hahaha"
김준면
"...was it all... planned from the beginning?"
김무열
"Right, so it'll be easier to bring you over."
김준면
" ....you are crazy."
My uncle started patting my head, and I hated the feeling of his hands patting my head.
김무열
"You should be my doll."
The next day-)
One of the staff members brought me some food and told me to eat it, but I didn't even want to eat the food my uncle made.
The food started to get colder and colder.
After a while, I heard the door open and my uncle came into the room.
김무열
"You didn't eat?"
김준면
"Do you think you would eat it?"
김무열
"I put so much thought into making this for you, but you're not going to eat it?"
My uncle scooped up some rice and started forcing it into my mouth.
김준면
"Woof!"
Because I forced myself to eat, I had no choice but to spit out the rice.
김무열
"Anyway, there's no day I like."
So today, after being beaten by my uncle for a long time, I was finally able to fall asleep.
It's already been three days since I came to my uncle's house.
His health began to deteriorate rapidly, perhaps because he had been subjected to water torture, food torture, and other forms of torture.
My uncle came again and started greeting me as if nothing had happened, and it was truly horrible.
김무열
" did you sleep well? "
김준면
" ....... "
김무열
"You look pretty when you can't move like this."
김준면
"Phew, have you ever thought that I was just taking it?"
I finally cut the cable tie that was digging into my flesh by pulling my arm all the way back.
Bang-!
As soon as I broke free, I kicked my uncle with all my might.
puck-!
김무열
"Ugh-!"
김준면
" ha... "
I had a headache and was dizzy, so I had a hard time standing properly, but I somehow managed to fight my uncle.
김무열
"It looks like our Junmyeon has gained a lot of strength over the years?"
김준면
"But he's a vice boss after all... how could he be weak?"
puck-!
김준면
(Coughing up blood) "Ugh-!"
As expected, my uncle had become stronger than before, and the fight was not easy.
김무열
"But you can't do it for me, Junmyeon."
puck-!
He attacked, gathering all the strength he had, but his uncle easily dodged the attack.
And then he took advantage of that gap and pushed me against the wall and started strangling me.
김준면
"Ugh-!"
김무열
"Why do you rebel when it's going to end up like this?"
김준면
"Ahh...! Haa..."
I started hearing noises outside, and I felt relieved that the kids had finally come to save me.
김무열
"I really need to take care of this before your friends come."
김준면
"Shut up... ugh!"
여환웅
"Junmyun hyung!!"
I heard Hwanung's voice calling me from afar, and just as I was starting to lose consciousness, my uncle began to let go of my hand.
My uncle threw me far away, and I hit the opposite wall with a thud.
김준면
"Ugh..! Cough-!"
여환웅
"Brother, are you okay?"
김준면
" are you okay- "
Hwanung's point of view-)
김무열
"It was fun for a while, but now there's a troublemaker. What kind of kid is he?"
여환웅
"I guess you don't remember me."
I started to get angry at Kim Moo-yeol for not remembering me.
You gave us terrible memories, so why don't you remember?
I lowered one side of the face chain I was wearing and showed my face to Kim Moo-yeol.
김무열
"Oh, it's Hwanung. Our Seoho's lover? Haha"
여환웅
"You dare to mention Seoho-hyung's name?"
It was creepy to hear Seo Ho-hyung's name mentioned so casually and referred to as "us."
김무열
"I miss our Seoho so much... He's my second doll."
여환웅
"Shut up!!"
김무열
"The kids must be here by now. How could you not see the kids you cherish so much being ruined..-"
여환웅
"What? What the hell are you up to!!"
At that time, I got a call from Geon-hee, and I answered it right away because I felt uneasy.
이건희
'Hwanung...'
여환웅
"Why, what's going on?"
이건희
'Me, Gunhak hyung, and Sion are okay...'
여환웅
"Is Seoho-hyung okay too...?"
이건희
' ......... '
When Seoho asked if he was okay, Geonhee started to remain silent, and his heart started to beat faster, worried that something might have happened.
여환웅
"Hey, Lee Kun-hee, why aren't you answering!!"
이건희
'Seohohyung disappeared...'
여환웅
"What did you do instead of protecting your older brother!!"
이건희
' Sorry... The moment we all burst in, we were all looking for you, but you were already gone and nowhere to be seen... '
여환웅
"Let the kids go and find Seoho hyung right now. If they can't find him, tell them I'll kill them all."
이건희
'I'll contact you when I find it.'
I got angry at Geon-hee for no reason and hung up the phone.
Kim Moo-yeol was laughing as if he found this situation amusing.
김무열
"Oh, this is so funny. Hahahaha"
I lost my mind at Kim Moo-yeol's reaction and rushed at him with the intention of killing him.
puck-!
Phew-!
김무열
"Ugh..."
thud-!
Kim Moo-yeol was sent flying into the opposite wall, and upon hitting the wall, he was seen vomiting blood.
김무열
"Coo-!"
He began to beat Kim Mu-yeol mercilessly, not caring if he was bleeding.
Phew-!
Pfft-!
And then he grabbed Kim Moo-yeol by the collar and asked where Seo Ho-hyung was.
여환웅
"What did you do to my brother? What did you do to my brother!!"
김무열
"Why should I tell you that, it's not funny. Haha- lol"
여환웅
"If you touch even one hair on my brother's head, I won't let you go."
이서호
"Oww...!!"
I heard Seoho-hyung's voice from afar, so I looked to the side and saw Seoho-hyung running towards me, calling my name.
여환웅
"Brother, don't come any closer."
김무열
"Haha ...
Kim Moo-yeol made a gesture, and the members of the organization came in and started to capture Seo Ho-hyung.
이서호
"Let go of it! Let go of it!"
여환웅
"Get away from me. Get away before I kill you all!"
이서호
"Oww, ugh!"
여환웅
"You dare touch Seoho hyung?"
He lost his mind at the sight of them messing with Seo Ho-hyung and Kim Mu-yeol smiling and saying it was good, and started beating Kim Mu-yeol without mercy.
puck-!
puck-!
김무열
"Ugh!"
여환웅
"I will kill you with my own hands."
Seungcheol's point of view-)
I was worried about Junmyeon, who hadn't been contacted for hours and hadn't returned, so I went to look for him when I got a call from Minhyuk.
최승철
" hello. "
이민혁
'Get ready now, Choi Seung-cheol!'
최승철
"What happened to Kim Junmyeon?"
이민혁
'Kim Junmyeon was just dragged away by that bastard Kim Muyeol.'
최승철
"Haa... I'll get ready and go soon."
When Junmyeon heard that Kim Moo-yeol had dragged him away, he got so angry that he started to bang his fist on the wall as soon as he hung up the phone.
이석민
"Boss, why are you doing this?"
최승철
"Everyone, arm yourself."
이석민
"Has something happened to you, Boss?"
최승철
"Uh, I have to go save Kim Junmyeon now."
After I finished preparing, I contacted Hyojin and Seungjun and told them that Junmyeon was in danger.
Hyojin and Seungjun immediately answered that they understood, and so they all arrived at Kim Moo-yeol's house.
최승철
"Are you here-"
김효진
" huh "
이승준
"Hwanung is in there right now, so let's go quickly. Geonhak said he'll be there soon too-"
구교환
"Everyone, don't think about anything else and just focus on saving Junmyeon."
As soon as I entered the house, I was not in the living room, but in the basement, and saw a long, endless hallway.
이민혁
"The house is unnecessarily large."
At the end of the hallway, Kim Mu-yeol's subordinates appeared, and they began to come towards us.
조직원들
"What the heck, these kids?"
이민혁
"Ha, there are so many."
김효진
"I tried to quit my job and take a break, but they wouldn't leave me alone...-"
Just as they were preparing to fight, a man who looked like a leader stepped forward in front of the group.
백찬규
"Guys, this is not the place for you-"
구교환
"Chan-gyu, are you still working for that bastard Kim Mu-yeol?"
백찬규
"Who is this? Isn't this our old exchange?"
A man named Baek Chan-gyu seemed to know the director.
구교환
"I'll deal with him, you guys take care of the rest."
이수혁
"I will do that."
Leaving the director behind, we began to fight against the members of the organization.
백찬규
"Now we've met as enemies-"
구교환
"I didn't know we'd meet as enemies, phew..."
백찬규
"I won't let you down. Do you understand?"
구교환
"I don't see you as Chan-gyu either."
puck-!
puck-
이수혁
" ha... "
김효진
"It won't end even if I process it.... Phew-"
이건희
" brother! "
이승준
"You're here-? Haa..-"
이건희
"Sorry I'm late, hyung-"
puck-!
Fortunately, things seemed to be getting easier thanks to Geonhak, Geonhee, and Sion.
Now that it wasn't working, he took out a knife and started attacking us.
시온
" brother!! "
Geonhak simply blocked the knife with his hand, and blood began to drip down.
김건학
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
시온
"What if I recklessly block it with my hand...!!"
김건학
"Son Dong-ju, get out of here!!"
시온
" ...!! "
김건학
"Don't worry about your brother, just focus on saving Seoho and Hwanung."
puck-!
Phew-!
이건희
"Haa... They're making a movie."
Fortunately, I dealt with the many members of the organization and walked towards their leader.
The leader was seen barely holding on, while the old manager was fine.
백찬규
"Cough-! Haa..."
최승철
"Aren't you bored?"
I was so angry that I thought this kid had also played a part in hurting Junmyeon, so I kicked him hard.
Phew-!!
dump-)
Luckily, the kid hit my foot and fell down helplessly.
최승철
"Let's go quickly."
Hwanung's point of view-)
At this time, Junmyeon's friends, Geonhak, Geonhee, and Si-on arrived.
이건희
"Hwanung, you too come to your senses and stop now."
Geonhee and Sion told me to stop, but I couldn't stop when I thought of Seohohyung.
여환웅
"Let go, I'm definitely going to kill him."
시온
"Hyung, you know Seoho hyung won't like this either..."
I stopped thinking that Seoho might hate me if I did this.
여환웅
"Haa... huh..."
Seoho also came to my side and started hugging me.
여환웅
"Brother... I'm sorry..."
이서호
"What are you sorry for... Ow, I'm okay... Let's stop, okay?"
여환웅
"Ugh..."
이서호
"And... I came here alone, thinking only of you. After all these unknown people suddenly barged in, all I could think about was whether you were okay, whether you were hurt... That's why I came here alone..."
여환웅
"Why did you do that... when you knew full well that you could get hurt...!"
이서호
"Even if I get hurt, I have to protect you... You are my lover and a member of our team."
김건학
"Do you know how shocked we were? We were worried we'd been kidnapped or something..."
이서호
"Sorry... I won't do that again... haha"
Junmyeon's point of view-)
As soon as Soo-hyuk and the manager saw me, they ran over to me, followed by Seung-cheol, Min-hyuk, Hyo-jin, and Seung-jun.
이민혁
"Kim Junmyeon, are you okay?"
김준면
"Yeah, it's okay... gulp-!"
When I coughed, I vomited bright red blood, and my hands were covered in blood.
최승철
"Hey, what's so great about this!!"
김준면
"I told you it's okay..."
I dragged my aching body to my uncle, and saw him lying there in a daze.
김준면
"Hold my hand."
Actually, I hated my uncle to the point of death, but I reached out to him because he was my only family member.
김무열
"Why did I reach out my hand?"
Simchon stood up, taking my outstretched hand.
김준면
"Just because you reached out doesn't mean I forgave you, uncle."
김무열
".....Yeah, never forgive me."
김준면
"Because we're family, because he's my only uncle..."
김무열
"Take care..."
The uncle said, "Take care," and was taken away by the detectives.
이수혁
"It's okay, you did well-"
김준면
" yes... "
Just as I was about to leave with Seokmin's help, Hwanwoong walked towards me with his lover and team members.
환웅
"Brother, are you okay?"
김준면
"Yeah, it's okay. Thanks for today-"
환웅
"I just did what I had to do, there's no need to thank me."
이서호
"I told you to speak nicely."
환웅
"I made it pretty enough...?! "
김준면
" Phew- "
이서호
"I'm sorry... haha"
김준면
"It's okay, thank you all for today."
이서호
"If you don't mind... would you like to meet up for a meal sometime?"
김준면
" great. "
Seungcheol's point of view-)
Just as they were about to make plans to meet again and go their separate ways, Junmyeon suddenly collapsed.
Soon, I heard the sound of someone falling next to me, so I turned my head and saw Hwanung's lover lying there.
환웅
"Seoho hyung!!"
최승철
"Haa, Kim Junmyeon, seriously... I told you not to hold back..."
이수혁
"I'll call Hyo-seop, so let's go to the same hospital as Seo-ho."
환웅
"Is that okay...?"
이수혁
"What's not possible?"
환웅
" thank you.. "
The older brother quickly called Hyo-seop, and fortunately, the call was connected for a short while before a voice was heard.
안효섭
' hello. '
이수혁
"Hyo-seop, are you very busy?"
안효섭
'No, I'm fine. Is something wrong?'
이수혁
"Junmyun collapsed. His injuries are pretty serious...-"
안효섭
'I'll be preparing for surgery. Come quickly-'
이수혁
"There's one more person going besides Junmyeon. Seoho also has an injury- Can I ask you a favor?"
안효섭
'Yes, it's okay.'
이수혁
" thank you. "
안효섭
'We've already determined your location, so we've just sent two ambulances there. I think you can just come by ambulance.'
