20. Threats

Switch Rivals

It's been months since Tony's (actually Jaeduck's) accident. He still hasn't woke up and Tony was starting to get more worried by the second.

"Wake up. Wake up." (Tony)

"Chanting "Wake up" is not going to help." (Heejun)

"Still, it's been months and the reverse potion only works if both of us are conscious." (Tony)

"I know what you mean but the only thing now is to be patient." (Woohyuk)

Tony sighed and looked at the unconscious Jaeduck. The others were also worried about him.

 

Meanwhile, on Sechskies side...

"Where is he?" (Jiwon)

"I'm not telling." (Suwon)

"And why not?" (Jiwon)

"It's his hiatus and I promised him." (Suwon)

"Hyung. Being mad isn't helping." (Jiyong)

"Suwon. We realized what we were doing. Even Jiwon hyung." (Jaijin)

"And we want to apologize." (Sunghoon)

"Well that's gonna have to wait." (Suwon)

Suwon left them and went to the hospital to check on Jaeduck. The others decided to follow him. The followed him to a hospital but were stopped by one of the attendents.

"I'm sorry. This hallway is restricted except for a few."

"But our friend went in there." (Jaijin)

"He's one of the people who have permission. And you do not."

"Can you tell us who's the patient he's visiting?" (Jiwon)

"That, I can't tell either." 

"What is up with people these days?" (Sunghoon)

"Restricted areas? Suwon went in it. Could it be Jaeduck?" (Jiyong)

"I don't think so. The news said that Jaeduck carried Tony An." (Jaijin)

 

Tony was in the hospital room for days and still nothing happened.

"Mister Kim. I think you should go home."

"Not until he wakes up." (Tony)

"I know you're sad but we can assure you that he's alive." 

"Then, I'll come back tomorrow. Thank you, doctor." (Tony)

He went home and saw the merchant reading a maganize.

"So, how is he?" (Merchant)

"He's still unconscious but is still kicking." (Tony)

"That's nice to know." (Merchant)

The merchant looked at Tony as he was looking at a picture of him and Jaeduck together on vacation.

"You miss him, don't you?" (Merchant)

"Yes. All the time." Then, Tony gets a phone call. "Hello?"

"Hyung!" (Suwon)

"Suwon? What is it?" (Tony)

"The others..." (Suwon)

"The others what?" (Tony)

"Their threating me to tell them everything!" (Suwon)

"What?! Where are you?!" (Tony)

"In waiting room 267 in the company building." (Suwon)

"I'm coming! This has gone too far." (Tony)

"I'm coming with you." (Merchant)

"No. It's too dangerous." (Tony)

"I'm the reason for all this. I should be responsible." (Merchant)

"Okay. If you know what you're doing." (Tony)

 

They rushed to the DSP building and ran to room 267 to see Suwon tied up in the chair with his mouth taped.

"Okay. This is really bad." (Tony)

They freed Suwon and he cried.

"Hey... Don't cry." (Tony)

"I... was so scared." (Suwon)

"You did well. I'm proud of you." (Tony)

"Well, well. Look you showed up." (Jiwon)

"Eun Jiwon. Don't you think you took this a little too far?" (Tony)

"Watch your mouth, Kim. And call me hyung." (Jiwon)

"How can I if you are even treating Suwon like this?" (Tony)

(And also, in reality, we're the same age.) Tony said in his mind.

"Jiwon hyung. Really! We shouldn't do this." (Jaijin)

"You too, Jaijin? What should I do as a leader to get you to do what you're supposed to do?" (Jiwon)

"How about you give us some freedom to let us say our opinions?!" Tony yelled at him.

They others, except Suwon and the Merchant, were surprised that "Jaeduck" had to confidence to yell at them.

"You've been treating me like trash and now you're being nice to me?! What good does that bring?!" (Tony)

"Nevermind that. Who's that guy?" (Sunghoon)

"I'm the merchant responsible for their first accident." 

"So, you're the one who sold the death posion?" (Jiyong)

"Luckily, it wasn't the death posion, so no." (Merchant)

"So what was it?!" (Jiwon)

Tony, Suwon and the merchant hesitated for a good while. They looked at each other and feels like they should know the truth.

"It was a switch posion." (Merchant)

"Switch posion?!"

"Like switching places?" (Jaijin)

"Yes. Which means the Jaeduck that has been with you for the past year wasn't really Jaeduck." (Merchant)

"So... who's this right now?" (Jaijin)

The person who was supposed to be Jaeduck took a deep breath in and out until saying, "Tony. Tony An."

"WHAT?!"
