Flashback

"You don't know who it is? Then which girl do we kidnap?"

"Let's just take them all, Yi Jung-"

End of flashback

"Stop the car!" Ji Hoo yelled as he recalled flashbacks from the incident earlier.

"Sir we need to get you to the hospital"

"No. I am fine, we need to go back to the maze. Quickly" the driver turned the car around, he glanced at the rearview mirror every few seconds confirming Ji Hoo was well. Ji Hoo was lost in thought as he tried to push through the flashbacks but nothing was clear, all he knew was that his friends were in big trouble. As soon as the car came to a halt near the maze, Ji Hoo rushed out.

"Yi Jung! Jan Di-ah! Jun Pyo-" Ji Hoo's eyes widened as he saw a trail of blood leading deeper into the maze, fear was written all over his face as he followed the path. With a throbbing head and fear overtaking every cell, Ji Hoo continued to follow suit till he passed a familiar bush with something white hanging on the end of a branch. Ji Hoo felt the white piece of cashmere and surely it was from his scarf, it must have ripped when-

Flashback

Ji Ho decided to follow his own path as Jan Di and Jun Pyo got into another one of their fights. He didn't know why he was being dragged in this, sure Jun Pyo and Yi Jung had their reasons to be here but him and Woo Bin being dragged along just seemed unfair. Recalling all the stupid things they have done for each other caused Ji Hoo's lips to curve upwards. Before any other thought, Ji Hoo heard voices and as the bickering got louder he began to follow where the argument was coming from.

"So now that we are here and everything is going as planned, which girl are we kidnapping?" Asked an unfamiliar guy, Ji Hoo couldn't see his face as the stranger's back was facing him.

"I don't know. He never gave me a name, but it is one of the two girls here with them now. The one with Woo Bin is his recent playmate. Just make sure she doesn't cause trouble for us " A girl replied, Ji Hoo attempted to see her face but his view was blocked by the guy in front of her.

"You don't know who it is? Then which girl do we kidnap?"

"Let's just take them both, Yi Jung needs to pay for ignoring me. He is only mine, and no one else can dare be near him!"

"I don't care about that, just make sure I get my payment as you promised. Oh and I make no promises on what I do with the girls. You should know that from my track history right, sweetie?" Ji Hoo witnessed the girl move back suddenly, only to lash her hands around the guy's neck.

"And I make no promises on what I will do to you if you mess this up" Letting go of his neck the guy coughed several times before he straightened himself and sent death glares the girl's way. Ji Hoo had to warn his friends, as he was about to walk away he stepped on a twig, causing a crackling sound to expose his presence.

"Well. Well. Playing detective are we?" Ji Hoo turned around to see the guy standing in front of him, carrying a smirk on his lips. "Who are you and why are you talking about my friends-" before Ji Hoo could finish his question he felt immense pain on the back of his head, turning around while holding his head he saw a girl standing in front of him with a rod and a smile never leaving her lips. He stumbled forward, reeling from the hit, swinging blindly. This girl was Min Ha, Yi Jung's previous girlfriend, and before Ji Hoo could make out anything else he tried regaining his balance as he held onto the bush near him before collapsing to the ground, and darkness consuming him completely.

End of Flashback

Recalling the incident, Ji Hoo's eyes widened. Continuing to follow the path of blood, Ji Hoo stood shocked as all the blood in his body abandoned him with what lay in front.

"Jun Pyo!" Ji Hoo sat next to Jun Pyo's unconscious body, blood pooling down from his stomach. Ji Hoo quickly removed his scarf and applied it to the wound, Jun Pyo had lost a lot of blood but he was still breathing. Ji Hoo elevated his friend's body and continued to apply pressure on the wound.

"Ji Hoo! What are you doing back here!" Ji Hoo looked up to Woo Bin who ran his way with backup running behind him left and right.

"Jun Pyo, he has been stabbed and lost a lot of blood. His arms are tied up too!" Ji Hoo jumbled through his words, unable to process all that was happening. Woo Bin walked to the opposite side of Ji Hoo and carefully lifted Jun Pyo's body to cut the zip tie. "Come on, we need to get him to a hospital, I brought an ambulance." Woo Bin's men all circled around Jun Pyo and picked him up, Ji Hoo ran along with them trying his best to stop the blood. Woo Bin glanced over his surroundings before running towards the ambulance.

"Get them both to the hospital ASAP!" Woo Bin ordered a few of his men.

"No! I am staying. We need to save Yi Jung and the girls. They are also in trouble" Ji Hoo argued. Woo Bin signaled the ambulance to leave as he ruffled his hair in frustration.

"What is going on here? Who is going after them?" Woo Bin questioned. He has been wanting to know who this bastard was that was hurting his friends.

"Min Ha"

"What? You mean the girl Yi Jung dated last month?"

"Yeah, she wants to get back at Yi Jung for dumping her by hurting the girl he likes. Jan Di and Ga Eul are in big trouble because she doesn't know which girl it is. So she kidnapped them both" Ji Hoo answered with a shaking tone. Woo Bin's eyes widened, only to later close as he took a deep breath. If only Yi Jung would have confessed his feelings to Ga Eul that night all this mess wouldn't have happened. He knows his best friend can put on a mask for everyone except him. The only reason he got involved with the crazy ex-girlfriend was to keep Ga Eul away. Once he saves his friends and teaches the girl a lesson, Yi Jung has a big punch coming towards him, Woo Bin thought to himself.

"Woo Bin, I am coming with you no matter what, after what happened to Jun Pyo I need to make sure I see all our friends safe and well. I just don't know how to find them, there is a bad reception here. I don't want it to be too late and-" Before Ji Hoo could finish his sentence a small smile that planted on Woo Bin's lips made him pause. Woo Bin pulled out his phone which displayed a map with a red dot pinpointing a location.

"You didn't think I would let Yi Jung go all by himself with the fear of Ga Eul getting hurt without putting a small tracker in his pocket?" Woo Bin raised an eyebrow as he continued "did you?"

"Let's go save our friends" Ji Hoo commented, straightening himself as they both ran towards the direction the tracker was pointing. Soon as they reach the area, Woo Bin signals his men to split up and surround the area as he and Ji Hoo continue to slowly walk closer towards the entrance.
