Soonyoung hissed, a scoff escaping as he walked back and forth, his eyes locked on the three men kneeling before him.

"So you're not going to tell me who the fuck sent you to steal my goods?" Soonyoung's voice was calmer than usual, too calm and Seungcheol and the rest of his staff noticed it.

He would blow up soon, like a storm.

The men who had their hands and feet tied stayed silent, their gazes dropped to the floor. Soonyoung smirked as he grabbed the gun from Seungcheol's hand and aimed at one of the men, pulling the trigger.

The shot rang out, hitting the man knelt between the other two straight in the forehead, making him fall backwards as blood started to rush out.

The other two began to shake and cry and beg and as Soonyoung pointed to the one on the right, he yelled, "It's Yoon Jeonghan! He's the one who sent us!"

His breaths were uneven and heavy as he begged for his life, his tears falling on the concrete floor. Soonyoung's smirk vanished as he turned to Wonwoo.

"Send Yoon Jeonghan a photo, of his three, dead minions." Soonyoung instructed before aiming at the remaining two, killing them instantly. Wonwoo took a photo as the three laid in a row, lifeless and unresponsive.

Soonyoung cracked his neck, still focused on Wonwoo. "Clean this place up and get my goods transported to our stock, safe and sound."

He demanded, his voice cold and crisp before he walked out of the container, moving back to his car with Seungcheol and his other bodyguards behind him.

This was what people meant when they called Soonyoung dangerous, wicked and mad. He didn't play with his property and he didn't expect anyone else to play with their's.

But people found it so fun to mess around with his and so he had to take out their's. That was what made him a savage, mad man. The fact that he didn't let anything and anyone go.

Once they crossed the line.

•••••••••••••

Jihoon watched as the movers brought in boxes full of his belongings while the maids and butlers helped store them in the right places.

Each box was labelled with the type of belongings and location so Jihoon had to do nothing except make sure everything was properly transported.

He watched as each box was brought in until there were no more boxes and the movers exited the premises. Just as he was about to close the door, a car arrived in front of the house and two men dressed in black hopped out.

Jihoon wasted no time to shut the door but one of their feet wedged in between the door and the frame, granting them access.

"We mean no harm sir! We were sent by Mr. Kwon." The one on the right who looked more foreign handed his ID to Jihoon who scanned it before realising it was true. They worked as bodyguards for Kwon Inc.

Jihoon sighed as he handed the ID back to the man. So Soonyoung actually meant it when he said he would bring bodyguards? But why? He didn't need them, he already had Jun... who wasn't here, actually, but he would be as soon as Jihoon called.

"Well, I'm not going anywhere today so you guys are dismissed." Jihoon ordered the men who quickly shook their heads surprising Jihoon whose face scrunched in confusion.

"You can't dismiss us sir, only Mr. Kwon can." The one on the left, who looked a bit older, spoke up. Jihoon scoffed, crossed his arms as he looked at the men before giving up.

"Whatever then, have fun just standing around." He told them before walking up the stairs to his room and he watched as they positioned themselves by the door.

Rolling his eyes, he turned around, going back down. "You know what, I want to visit my brothers." He informed the two men who nodded before opening the front door.

"We'll prepare the car and inform your husband Sir." They said simultaneously but while one relayed the message, the other went out of the house. Jihoon scoffed.

They really had to inform his husband? What was he? Some priceless artifact?

After a few minutes of waiting, the man who had relayed the message earlier came over to Jihoon. "Sorry Sir, Mr. Kwon says no movement for you today, unless you invite your brothers over." He informed Jihoon whose nose flared up in both annoyance and disbelief.

"What's your name?" He asked the man who let a cough out before replying, "I'm Hong Joshua sir, and he's Choi Vernon." He gestured to Vernon who had returned to his position by the door.

"Hong Joshua-ssi, could you kindly tell me why the hell I'm not allowed to go out of the house today?" Jihoon asked with a smile which anger seeped out of. His fists balling as he sat on the couch.

Joshua gulped, turning to Vernon for help but the man just pretended he didn't see his colleague. "Well Sir, he says there are potential threats." He replied causing Jihoon to laugh but it quickly faded into fury.

"This makes no sense, why the hell did he assign bodyguards to me then?" He shook his head, getting up from the couch as Joshua followed behind him. "Where are you going Sir?"

"To my room! What? Am I not allowed access into there either? Are there bombs in my freaking bathtub?!" Jihoon yelled, silencing them before he stormed up the stairs to his room.

If there was one thing he hated, it was being restricted, being held down and yes, that was exactly what he had been enduring since the day he was born but somehow, having someone who wasn't his father or mother do that to him, was a lot more infuriating.

As the door to his room slammed shut, Joshua and Vernon looked at each other, having a full on conversation with their eyes.

"He better promote us." Joshua folded his arms as he walked over to Vernon who nodded, "My exact thought."

••••••••••••••

Soonyoung twisted his gun with his fingers as he waited in the car while Wonwoo got more information from the guy who handled the port and all the shipments that came through out.

His rage encapsulated his body and gave off an irritable aura so everyone around him knew to tread carefully. It was always Yoon Jeonghan. That slimy, sneaky snake always had to do something, out of nowhere and ruin Soonyoung's day and the worst part of it all...

He always knew how to escape.

He was so hard to find and so hard to catch. He was undoubtedly Soonyoung's biggest rival. Kwon Inc had always been the lone one out of all the big businesses in Korea so the company had no allies but plenty of rivals.

Soonyoung didn't like any of his fellow CEOs including Mr. Lee but when he saw Jihoon, and an opportunity arose, he knew he had to make a deal with him.

Out of all his competitors, Yoon Jeonghan was definitely the worst of them all. He was like a little mouse who could get away with anything at any time and that was what irked Soonyoung the most.

Soonyoung spotted Wonwoo jogging towards the car and rolled down his windows as Wonwoo reached it. "What did he say?" Soonyoung questioned, agitated and demanding.

Wonwoo passed his ipad and played a video. Soonyoung watched as the slender figure who he recognised as Yoon Jeonghan snuck unto the ship with his men and attacked the goods, stealing some of them.

"How many weapons and ammunition did they steal?" Soonyoung asked but Wonwoo gestured to the video. Soonyoung spotted a figure climb unto the ship and shoot some of the men including Jeonghan who fell straight down into the sea.

Then he watched as the tall, muscular man ran off with just one grenade. "Who is that? Who helped us?" Soonyoung asked Wonwoo who rewound the video, zooming in on the tan figure with long hair that lightly covered his face.

"Kim Mingyu, the son of Kim Joonhyung." Wonwoo replied and Soonyoung looked at Wonwoo in astonishment, a bit taken aback.

"Kim Taehyung's brother?" He clarified and Wonwoo nodded. Soonyoung crossed his legs as he rubbed his chin before turning to Wonwoo. "Find out everything about him... and make sure Yoon Jeonghan is really dead." He ordered and Wonwoo nodded in response, "Yes Sir."

"Sir, your husband's refusing to eat or come out of his room." Seungcheol leaned in, informing Soonyoung as he received the message from Joshua. Soonyoung's eyebrows raised in surprise as he looked at Seungcheol before turning back to Wonwoo.

"You're dismissed. Let's go home."

As the car left the port, Soonyoung couldn't help but wonder why Mingyu would help them and what benefit he got from doing it. He must've been sent by someone and the fact that he only took one grenade?

Something was suspicious and Soonyoung was going to find out what. Maybe it was all an orchestrated plan to make Soonyoung think Jeonghan was dead, when in reality, he wasn't.

Nevertheless, he didn't fall for such schemes, he was smarter and faster than that.

But for now, he had to go and convince his darling husband to have dinner. Maybe he was pissed off about Soonyoung's orders? Regardless, it had to be done for Jihoon's safety.

Anyone that messed with Jihoon would regret it with every part of their body, soul and mind.

Soonyoung would make sure of that.
