208 Warning Bells (2/2)

All of a sudden, Hyuk's cellmates started pulling him to the side, exclaiming and panicking, as if they had encountered something dangerous.

”The f*c—” Hyuk glowered at them in annoyance, but then—

”—!”

He caught sight of a person whom he swore to destroy the next time he met him.

There he was, Ji Yeong Gi, sitting smugly among a group of tough-looking inmates. It seemed like he was finally released from solitary confinement. He was smiling with his usual harmless grin while exchanging words with his group.

”Ji! Yeong! Gi!” Hyuk seethed, grinding his teeth.

”Woah, no, calm down, Lee Hyuk!” His cellmates immediately grabbed him, holding him back from storming towards the other young man and beating the sh*t out of him.

The guards and the CCTVs were all actively eyeing them, and it would not bode well for any of them if Hyuk instigated a fight in the courtyard. For one thing, the little bit of free time they could spend outside would be cut short, and they might all get punished for infighting.

”Let go!” Hyuk tried to shake them off, but the strengths of the three people were too much for him to take out on his own. They held onto him tightly to make sure that he wouldn't cause any accidents.

”The guards are everywhere; do you want to get in trouble again?!” Lee Moon Deok hissed. He squeezed the young man's arm tightly to get his attention. ”Are you sure you want to do that? What about your sister? Didn't you promise her something?”

Hyuk's muscle tensed at the mention of his sister. He glared angrily at the older inmate before turning away, clicking his tongue. ”Get off me, you f*ckin' sh*theads,” Hyuk said instead.

After finally confirming that the young man would not go berserk, the three inmates finally loosened their holds.

The four kept to themselves at a corner of the courtyard, careful to maintain a good distance from Ji Yeong Gi and his group.

Thirty minutes later, their free time ended, and everyone was ushered back into their cells.

”Hey.”

While they were walking down the corridor towards the cells, Ji Yeong Gi and his group of cellmates caught up to them.

The distance between them were barely several meters away. Ji Yeong Gi immediately arrived close enough to speak to the group.

Since there were guards close by, no one moved suspiciously. Hyuk could neither raise his hands nor start a fight since there was too many people looking at him warily, afraid that he might throw his fists around again.

”I heard your sister got famous?” Ji Yeong Gi smirked as he passed by the group. ”Be careful~” he said, his face carrying an expression as if he was saying it out of concern.

Hyuk frowned. It was not in Ji Yeong Gi's nature to warn others of any kind of danger. If anything, he'd be by the side, applauding as all hell broke loose.

”You might never know, right, Lee Hyuk?” He laughed after seeing Hyuk's confused face. ”Standing out so much makes her an easy target, don't you think?”

An ominous feeling struck Hyuk's heart.

”You... what have you done, you b*stard?” Hyuk narrowed his eyes at the other man, his veins popping. He clenched his fists tightly, looking as if he was ready to kill a b*tch.

Ji Yeong Gi's smile deepened. His eyes curved with mirth.

”Watch out, Lee Hyuk. It would be a shame if... your sister ends up getting kidnapped or something. Right?”
