👑👑👑Pinned down the soft mattres Jaemin replied agressively to Mark's kisses as his arms are around Mark's neck and he let himself be hovered by the male submissively, already spreading his legs for Mark and the older male is also already as he situated between it."Take this off now" Jaemin whisper to Mark and try to lift the hem of Mark's shirt and of course the other would comply. Mark lean up cutting their make up session to strip infront of Jaemin, as the pink-haired guy bite his lips as he enjoy himself watching this sensual scene."Ah, my love you look so amazing" Jaemin complimented with a big smile with giggles, and he let his bare hands trail to Mark's chest down to Mark's abdomen where placed the chiseled and well toned abs. Amazing.Mark then caresses Jaemin cheeks down to his chin that make the other purr like a kitty and as if it was a signal Jaemin remove the big sweater which again is owned by Mark. He was fond of wearing Mark's clothes most of the time and the good thing is Mark let him wear it, he was cute in Mark's clothes so why would Mark say no.Mark then dive in and give pepper kisses on to Jaemin's neck. " Don't leave mark's on my neck, love, people on the airport might see it. Paparazzi will crowd the moment I got down the plane".Jaemin reminded the male that and Mark again followed, even though he dominate he takes Jaemin's request as big commands he need to follow. Playing with Jaemin's chest with his tongue which could bring his little kitty on heaven for a moment, while he skillfully pull down Jaemin's boxer which is the only piece of cover on Jaemin's lower half.Mark lean up seeing that he had left evident teeth marks around Jaemin pink nipples and smile because of it, he flick his arm and look at his wristwatch to check up on the time."We only have thirty minutes before we arrive in Korea so let's make you cum faster" Mark said as he get on to business and applying a generous amout of lube on his fingers to be able to prepare Jaemin, "But I want you to feel good too" Jaemin then said with such sweet tone reaching Mark with his arms and pulling the man to go close to him so he could give kisses too."Let's finish together then, okay" Mark then said as he positioned himself and Jaemin nodded, biting his lips feeling his own hole twitch as he felt the tip circling around his rim until it finally enters. Both gasp as both became one again sharimg heat eith each other and loving the sensation of euphoria, Mark started slow minding Jaemin's condition while the other is just hugging him and moaning in every thrust."That's so good, love" Jaemin sang as his mouth is open ajar, some drool coming out from the side, he feel like he was floating in cloud 9. Mark grab his chin for them to make-out and Jaemin is more than glad to kiss back passionately . With quite rough thrust from Mark the two ended and got their climax a few minutes before the plane's landing."You sure you won't be going to Korea yet?" Jaemin asked, as the pink-haired guy is the only one going out of their personal plane. And Mark nodded."I still have businesses to attend in China, don't worry we will see each the day after tomorrow" Mark said as an assurance and kissed Jaemin's forehead to seal that promise as he help the young male dress up.
" Make sure to come fast okay" Jaemin said and Mark nodded as a response again."Now look fine and astonishing when you go down. Like the pretty Nana you are" Mark said patting Jaemin's chin as he adore the male so much, the pink hair indeed fit Jaemin so well. He didn't know why but Jaemin just asked to bleach his hair to pink one day and now Mark have no regrets. Jaemin look fluffy and seductive at the same time. Having a loose, silk made button-down shirt, hair down and fuzzy on purpose with cool sunglasses to pair.It was expected that a crowd of reporters will go and rampage Jaemin when the male go out, since he is actually famous, being the youngest CEO/ president, and the youngest Billionaire in record. Legally.Yet Jaemin was more than just a billionaire when his bank account are all counted.Mark didn't go down anymore, because there was no reason to. Jaemin was an independent person now, he had changed . He became an expert handling press and much more experience in talking or communicating as the Jaemin before was rather timid and act on violence silently which was extremely creepy and dangerous but now. Nonetheless, A bold and confident Jaemin is far more dangerous.Jaemin went out and flashes of cameras started and some reporter had started to jammed up on the suppose walk way of Jaemin. People started to notice such commotion and look out to see who could it be.Well it was none other than Lee Jaemin.👑👑👑"And it is confirm the youngest ever billionaire, that lead many conglomerate in South Korea had finally land to his hometown! Looking so astonishing. The Na had been powerful even in the history of politics as all the president in the republic of Korea won after being sponsored by Na in campaigning! Many have thought that the Na will be a political dynasty as well but none of the Na's chosen heir had been involving theirselves in politics and here he comes the none other Lee---"Haechan quickly turned off the T.V. When he heard Jeno's motorbike on a near range. He picked up his phone and act that he was busy on his phone when the other enter their new apartment."How was your new part-time job, Jen?" Haechan asked the moment Jeno came in with his stern facial expression again, putting down his helmet on a rack before answering. " It was fine. Bearable" Jeno timidly answered and go upstairs to his room not really planning to have a long conversation with Haechan right now.Haechan sigh as he almost got caught watching a report about the people they were suppose to avoid, it was such a drag. He put down his phone and lean on the sofa where he sat for along time nowJeno indeed change, he wasn't the cheerful and optimistic Lee Jeno, Haechan had befriended before. It was true that Haechan hadn't completely move on, he had thought of Mark from time to time but he had finally healed while Jeno was still suffering.The boy was always blank away from everybody and always stays in his room just laying on his bed. He wonder how Jeno's bond toward Jaemin develop but it seem so strong that made Jeno act this way, it seem so selfish but Haechan have that nature already as Jeno's reaction toward Jaemin is so indifferent towards his reaction to anybody else."He must've love him too much and too real, it hurted him so much" Haechan whispered, putting that on his mind as a theory on why is Jeno acting such way, though it was rather a fact. Haechan had healed, moved on even though some system inside of him still yearns for the past to somehow repeat if it mean the moment where Mark and him love each other but the overall him wanted to walk more forward. Well he was getting successful in the drama club and he actually joined theater in their university they attend.Yes, they have moved back to Busan and study at the university in Busan. They have to leave the place where all memories had been planted to completely heal and move on. Well that is for Haechan though Haechan thought it could help Jeno too."Should I really risk this" Haechan said hesitating his self made plan ever sinve year ago. Yet again, he was hesitant if it is a good idea to finally move back to Seoul again.His plan to make Jeno meet Jaemin again, and now Jaemin is in Seoul to study in the university. Jeno is the only missing puzzle piece left in Haechan's plan .He need to help his best friend to go back, he misses Jeno."I'll help you Jeno, just stay put" Haechan whispered and then pick up his phone to contact someone.👑👑👑"You two finally got to Korea huh" Renjun clicked his tongue as finally Chenle arrive from his plane. "Well, Jaemin went home so I have to go too, isn't right?" Chenle said pulling Daegal's leash. Yet the puppy doesn't want to walk so Chenle groan and have no choice but to carry the still tiny dog.There are three more guys behind Chenle which are bodyguards who are also carrying Chenle's luggages. "I thought you would go home as a Qian" Renjun said teasingly and Chenle glared at Renjun while Kun only snickered as well."We still have a few months before that" Kun rather answered. "Hays, Hyung just ignore him, he is just bitter he is still single" Chenle said and getting out of the departure area."Well I was reserved to be someone earlier than you" Renjun said as he answer Chenle's some how sarcasm. Chenle raise his left brows looking at Renjun up and down."I know what you're trying to do Huang Renjun" Chenle said hidden inside those look are actually death glares that Kun didn't even notice as he was busy waiting for their car."Really? Zhong Chenle".
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Jaemin entered the chaotic room filled with old man arguing about stuff that they seem very concerned of. Although, their attention got caught by Jaemin's presence in his bright red tuxedo, casually owning the floor as he walk authoratively to his seat. On the very front and the center of all the people in the long glass-like table.Eyes are darted on to Jaemin while the young male playfully lick his also red lollipop. His figure alone indeed show stubbornness, as the rule inside this court-like meeting is to wear a formal black suit. Nonetheless, Jaemin was as bright as the blood with his suit and his slick and pushed-back pink hair as a compliment.They follow Jaemin by looking at him, observing every action Jaemin take, every step he take. Judging everything that is Jaemin, and the boy knew everything about this backstabbing rumors and words. That was the whole reason of his rebellious behaviour, how satisfying it would be to see these old man faces, crumpled while looking at him.That made him joyous, as he reveal a smug smirk getting in his seat and look at every each one of them, meeting with an eye-contact. With his sarcasm of a smile he can see the discontent of the people around him, and that made him contented of his attitude, because their faces mean that he succeed."Good morning gentleman, we can all have a seat now" Jaemin said, with his voice raised up and so people in this room obey him. Well all of them wanted to start this, and talk all about this week discussion.As everyone sat down with etiquette, Jaemin just lay back, and sit like any teenager or in adolescent would do, And when one representative was about to open his mouth, ready and is already standing up, he was interrupted by Jaemin who was busy putting up his feet on top of the table rather than starting the meeting and try to atleast listen. The man, from the Yamizen clan was too stunned that he didn't even know when should he start speaking...He paused even though he didn't even get a chance to talk and look at their apparently new leader, Na Hyunmin only son, Na Jaemin.Jaemin look up to the man waiting for a cue to speak and so Jaemin push up his sunglasses first, up his head, and signal the man to finally begin. "Continue" Jaemin said, making the rest of the crowd sigh in disbelief.Chenle was also there but he rather would not react. As somehow he understood Jaemin's action even though it is starting to become too much, he know Jaemin wasn't a push over, he would always love to push someone in so much extent; that is Na Jaemin.It was a good thing he lead the place or he will be quickly exiled in this place, "I would like to address the plan of continuing the attempt asassination to the Park, the attack four years ago was brutal that we lost our comrade so we shouldn't let this slide... And to emphasize many of our branch company may be at stake because it may be targeted by Park if he still walk in this earth" Mr. Yamizen stated, yet glancing at Jaemin checking if the young male was paying attention which Jaemin didn't, he was busy shaking his shoes on top of the table while looking at his nails. Seem really disinterested even though Mr. Yamizen sounded so serious."M...Mr. Na" Mr. Yamizen called out Jaemin and Jaemin eyes gone and avert to the man, that moment of time Mr. Yamizen saw such proof that Jaemin is HyunMin's son as his stare and glances holded such aura that can make people flinch, though he would deny about being intimidated by it..."It had been four years, as you said, haven't you move on yet. We have destroyed every branch that are helping Park to reach further in the black market and Black rose" Jaemin answered and seem that some or many disagree about his statement. Mrs. Nakamoto then speak up, "Not because you didn't feel the damage young Mr. Na , it doesn't mean it didn't affected us too" Mrs. Nakamoto said as if pointing that Jaemin was a spoiled son who only know how to be rich and enjoy life with the access to everything he demands, and shortened to be stupid and naive about the world and pain.When they didn't know how much Jaemin had suffer just because he was the son of the imfamous Na.Jaemin rather scoffed at the woman's statement and pull of his feet away from the table and finally sat down properly, intrigued to Mrs. Nakamoto's accusations. "Us?" Jaemin again asked looking at Mrs. Nakamoto with a raise brow." I would like to re-word your statement because that doesn't make sense. The people who had suffer from this attack, as a matter of fact, was just the Zhong, the Na and Lee, even the Suh from white rose had been affected because of Na's partnership to them. And you are saying us? Where even are you all when my father and Mr. Zhong's father got Assassinated?" Jaemin said which no one seem to have a counter attack about and with the mention of the Zhong and the Park in one conversation just made Chenle gulp and froze on his seat. However the rest was quiet too, they didn't do anything to go on action to protect the detal specimen Na's protected, not even their finger move for it. The one who spilled blood was Mark, the rejected leader of this organization. As they thought they can control HyuMin son as the rumor said that his son is only a promiscuous young lad and naive of his priority in Black Rose, they thought that they can control him not like Mark who was over-powering them, but they thought wrong since choosing this resulted something more worst."Tsk, such non-sensible kid. I knew you would just trash around this hall, accepting you to be seated there was a big mistake. You never know how this world work, nor care for the losses of your comrade, in this world, life is in the same balance as money. And we protect it by this alliance but all you do is create diversion from your childish opinion" Mr. Kim said, as he sound so disappointed looking at Jaemin and his appearance as he just wanted to gnaw. The man was the oldest in the whole court-meeting. And was well respected because he is one of the riches in the society, and one of the gruesome as well.Many knew that even though Black rose appoint leader on their alliance, Mr. Kim still have almost half of the control. Once HyunMin Na biggest enemy and now Na Jaemin's biggest enemy."Such felon, who don't even respect the sanctuary of black rose like you shouldn't be the leader, and shouldn't exist in this room. Go be fuck outside as a prostitute since it's in your blood already, your father is a biggest shame and disappointment and your crazy-whore of a mother, I wouldn't be surprise of your future action anymore" The man finishes the sentence with such pride to see Jaemin frozen reaction, although he cross the boundary when Jaemin's mother and father got involved.Chenle worries of this atmosphere, he had been an audience of Mr. Hyun as the lead on the alliance, and indeed meetings like this get heated in many bad ways but Mr. Hyun seem to master the word temper and professionalism but Jaemin haven't yet. He saw fire inside Jaemin darkened orbs when he turn to the old man who was situated on the farthest part of the table, sitting at the middle of the other side corner as Jaemin and him counter-part each other.Jaemin got up and stand on the table and walk his way to the old man, when he got to the old man who was relaxed holding his cane, without and resistance left in his body he pulled the pistol resting in his back pocket.Many got alarmed as the elder of the group is now being pointed by a gun by their own leader. "Na Jaemin stop that!" Mr. Huang warned Jaemin's action, " Let him Huang, let him boast even though everyone in this room know he can't shoot a gun, he tremble like a coward, all he know is to fuck around, professionally that's the whole purpose of his existance, to fuck and get pregnant so he won't be more of a disappointment to the Na clan".Rather than being offended more and feel ashamed to all the throw of disgraceness about him, Jaemin just laughed, almost hysterically.Mr. Kim wasn't looking at him ignoring the gun on his head and so Jaemin adjusted and he lowered him self, squatting down on the old man's level, and agressively pulled the Mr. Kim face, grabbing him by the chin.Jaemin was an evident creepy smile was rather the less expected reaction Mr. Kim have thought, Jaemin tilted his head looking eye-to-eye with Mr. Kim."Do you hate me that much? Why? Is it because I didn't agree be fuck by you? I'm sorry to break your precious heart, but I don't eat soggy dicks" Jaemin said, saying all those nasty things with his monotonous smile. Jaemin then look at the pistol he is pointing at the man's forehead, this also made Mr. Kim look at the gun pointed at his head. One click and he is a goner yet everyone knew Jaemin's weak skills in shooting, he got the lowest score of it when their kids are being trained for guns."Maybe I do get shaky holding a gun cuz' it heavy so I don't use this when I kill..." Jaemin then look again at the old man's eyes, " So I use blades".Jaemin throw away the pistol he was holding and swiftly, and professionally flicked his wrist that revealed a pocket knife, eventually sharp that it jusy touches the neck of Mr. Kim and it started to lightly bleed. Well that made Mr. Kim gulp accidentally."You disrespectful kid!"."Should I let you see your wife on hell now? You can discuss your affairs with kids with her" Jaemin said and Mr. Kim gritted his teeth, he was frozen from his seat as the knife is indeed poking his neck now. " Can't wait to tell you about this but you know, I killed my daddy! He was left alive on the assassination, and for him to not be one of the suspect. I killed him, so keep your head up and be careful because I have info and facts about this whole assassination ", those was rather a whisper to Mr. Kim by Jaemin that wasn't audible to other that made other people worried how Mr. Kim widened his eyes, and horror in his blurry eyes were visible.Jaemin pull away the pocket knife and that made Mr.Kim quick to cover his bleeding neck and some other official clan representative started to go close to him to assist him, well they side Mr. Kim for some obvious reasons.Jaemin got out of the table and was ready to leave the hall but Mr. Huang covered his way. Jaemin look up to the old man unamused."You should know how to act with your elders Jaemin, you shouldn't act so carelessly, HyunMin didn't raise to teach you everything you need to be here for nothing!" Mr. Huang said and Jaemin only rolled his eyes and that offended the other older. "Na Jaemin!" Mr. Huang demanded and Jaemin just frowned at the man."What do you want me to do? Apologize to that dickhead?" Jaemin retorted raising his eyebrows, his attitude is sure inevitable. "Yes of course!"And by that Jaemin look offended and scoff. " Over my rich, hot, dead body", Jaemin retorted and rolling his eyes again and walk out of that messed up room.👑 👑 👑Jeno woke up by the alarm, it was 10 P.M. Time for his part time work.Yes it was a late work, since he actually work as a bartender in one club near to the place they move in. He got up and prepare himself to go out for work and just wash his face a little and brush his teeth again. He then go out of his room expecting for Haechan to be asleep now but as he got down to the living room he saw Haechan busy doing some project and seem like the other saw him. " Oh, out for work?" Haechan asked and Jeno just timidly nod and Haechan smile only with that response.Jeno can see some of the band-aid around Haechan fingers, cause of the bridge made up by popsickle stick as for his project. The boy was taking architecture while Jeno was in the engineering department. " Don't hurt yourself so much" Jeno then said and that caught Haechan off-guard, as Jeno seem to be often quiet about many things ever since Seoul happened to them, ever since the music club.Jeno gone to the art of hiding his emotion just like everybody in the club. Jeno became stern for the four years that had passed. "Thank you" Haechan said with a delight and Jeno finally decided to go on to his work. He put on his white longsleeve shirt uniform and start working as the bartender assistant, the noise from the dance floor had seem to taken away Jeno's hearing after working here for two weeks because now he mastered muffling that annoying blast of pop music in his system, he take simple order of liquor and cocktail. Got flirted by guys and girls multiple times but they were rather ignore by Jeno as he doesn't find anyone attractive. His standard in appearance seem to peak up high the moment he saw a specific person and he can't find any shine to anyone, anymore.That show how affected Jeno still is until now. Believing Jaemin is not dead but at the same time not being sure of it. Nope, Jeno didn't watch anything in T.V. so he doesn't have any idea of Jaemin, kr his system avoid it no matter what happen. He badly wanted to cope up and finally forget it but he always feel lonely, and lost. He felt like something is missing that made him unmotivated in the everyday and he wanted it to change. Though people indeed can be stamp in you, and somehow you don't have a choice but to remember him and get bitter time to time.Jeno gone stern, and he notices his own changes too. Yet he doesn't felt anything and his heart aches from time to time when he is thinking of memories that seem impossible to be repeated.In this club, he had saw multiple people kissing, fucking in the private room. Some personal scene like a wife finding out his husband cheated on her. Everyone seem curious seeing those scene but Jeno had enough of it. Many hit on Jeno, even tried to get him inside one V.I.P. room but Jeno had a legal right to refuse and have the strength to refuse it.He started his shift by 11 and end by 5 in the morning. By that time he will go home and from time to time he will buy some bread for breakfast. Like today, he stopped by to the bakery he usually buy bread and smell the bakery starting to cook some peach pie, and so Jeno ordered himself some of it thinking Haechan would also like to eat some since it smell really nice, without noticing the scent just reminded him by someone.As soon as he got his bread, he pause caughting someone oddly familliar, and that person seem to see the same as he stop his feet and froze. It was Renjun.It only been three years since Renjun and him last met, and that is when they finally graduated from the academy. Jeno wasn't sure if he should approach Renjun or act like he didn't saw him at all and just ride his motorbike to go home but Renjun seem convince that they met and approach him. "Jeno? Woah this is the first time we ever see each other again" Renjun sound like he was really so surprised, as now he can see Jeno grew taller more than him, and his height didn't even move."..Yeah it's been awhile" Jeno said awkwardly not really knowing how to start conversation with Renjun anymore. They seem close, a little back then though Jeno find it awkward with him now and also Haechan had always say involving theirselves with these people is extremely dangerous, it's dead-threatening.Renjun was about to say something but he was cut by the phone ringing he lifted it and Jeno got a quick glance of the caller. 'Lee Min Hyung'."I gotta go now, see you whenever we can" Renjun said, seem to be in a hurry and that made Jeno frown that thd other walk pass through him. Now Jeno wonder what Mark need to Renjun.Mark."Fuck, I shouldn't be thinking about them" Jeno said groaning and patting his forehead as if scolding himself. He go on and ride his motorbike trying to brush of everything that happened earlier and so he brush it of his system. He should not include his ife to them as warned by his friend. Even though he still think of Jaemin every hour of the day and get depressed by everything. Crying out of nowhere when he remember the scene of Jaemin being hit by a car, and every small memory he had about the male, he also think of his friend. He can see Haechan slowly coping the situation, finally moving on from Mark and Jeno should be happy that he won't see his best friend being hurt.So to the best he can, he will avoide everything related to Mark and that include Jaemin, as Jaemin was Mark's real belongings.He got home carrying the bread and was about to check if Haechan was already asleep though as soon as he enter the house and saw the living room, he saw Haechan sleeping while sitting next to his unfinished project with a very uncomfortable position for sleeping. And Jeno sigh.Haechan can really be so careless from time to time and that is why Jeno have to stay with Haechan till today or Haechan will literally get sick everyday because of his carelessness. Well Jeno is relieved of the fact that Haechan had finally turn down his alcohol consumption and only drink occasionally compare to before he literally try to drown himself. Everyone indeed sound to be healing. But is missing something big in their heart.When Jeno was about to cover Haechan with a blanket, Haechan suddenly whispered "Mark", and that made Jeno realize Haechan isn't fully healed yet. He was still suffering internally. The same as him.Nonetheless, Jeno kneel down and cover the male with the blanket and Haechan seem to wake up and lift his head and turn to Jeno. "Oh, Jeno, you're home" Haechan said, groggily, not really fully awake and conscious.Though he paused when Jeno successfully wrapped him up with the blanket and added more warmth when Jeno then hug him and the comforting puppy then lay his head on Haechan's shoulder."Jeno, is there something wrong?" Haechan asked and Jeno, nonetheless, shook his head.👑 👑 👑"Welcome home!" Jaemin chirped as he welcome Mark in their bedroom, and Mark look at the other with a smile. "Oh, are you studying?" Mark asked and Jaemin nodded and then signaled Mark to come to the bed by patting the empty corner next to him. Mark first took off his blazer and give it to the waiting made and the made automatically left after getting Mark's blazer."Why? You wanna make love?" Mark asked as he loosened up his necktie and Jaemin only giggle, smiling as if he didn't trashtalk and threatened an old man with a knife this morning."No silly, later, I'll ask for your blood for my assignment now" Jaemin said and signaling Mark to come faster and so the older nodded and go and approach Jaemin. Mark then sat down on their satin, and seamless silk rose bed.Jaemin then pushed the older to lay down on their bed and situated himself on top of Mark. He get the equipment he need to get Mark's blood sample, " Are you going to be like this to your future patients Mr. Lee?" Mark asked as he hold on to Jaemin's waist, as Jaemin was sitting jusy above his groin. Jaemin only smile and when he got the blood he lean down and kissed Mark's forehead."If that means that I could get what I want" Jaemin answered nonetheless, and pull away, he stood up and place his school stuff on the table near the bed.After it, all they did was a short cuddle session as payment for Mark's blood. Jaemin lay down while he lean his back on the elevated pillows while Mark lay his head on top of Jaemin's chest and hugging him, arms around Jaemin's thin waist, practically above Jaemin."So, what did you do today?" Jaemin asked while playing with Mark's black hair strands, " Mr. Moon is at it again asking me to play him the music I played when I was six... I wouldn't know that of course" Mark said as he rant his days. "And so, what did you do?" Jaemin asked, " Well I cheated my way, manipulating them that I played thatpiece before" Mark then answered.Jaemin then chuckles lowly and lift Mark head making the older face him, Jaemin smile brightly. "Look at you" Jaemin said as he flutter his eyes."Mark, I indeed invented you".

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Jeno finally got dismissed from class, which is a good thing because he almost fall asleep in class because he didn't get a proper at least five hours of sleep because he had to overtime on his part-time job.He hangs his bag on his left shoulder and goes on out of the university.He ignore people around him, he wasn't that social but he wasn't this secluded from the world, and his days seem to always repeat themselves, home, then school, then the club to work. There was no really in between, he was invited to a couple of drinking parties or any usual college peeps party to celebrate random stuff like passing 50% of the exam and more.Haechan even try to drag him to some group dinner with Haechan's members in the theater club but Jeno always declines. Jeno doesn't actually like being surrounded by people, maybe he just doesn't feel like socializing further.'What is even wrong with me'He mumble to himself because it was as if he was walking on the darkest lane of the world and he was surrounded by light. This was college, all are legal enough to party in the club until the morning and not get caught because of curfew, smart C are replaced with cocktails and are legal enough to get in jail...But all those things that seem so wild and fun, Jeno had experienced it beforehand. It faded in his system and only left bitterness in him. He had sex, drink alcohol, stay in the street for the whole night, and got into the bar even though he was just 16. It seems that he was already gotten the limelight of a late adolescent and he doesn't find the courage to keep on. Since, again, it only left him empty, all those kinds of happiness last for just a short while.He finally got to the parking area and ride his motorbike ready to go home.He went to a drive-thru first to buy some McDonald's for their dinner, he and Haechan never learn the master of cooking. Well, they can make simple things but they can't eat instant ramen and fried egg every single day.So he bought their fast food dinner and go went home. Jeno parked his motorbike on the reserved parking area and go up to the second floor with the food, they were on the second floor of this apartment complex."I'm home!" Jeno announced, removed his shoes, and properly place them on the shoe rack. The lights were on but the place was quiet, so Jeno wonder if Haechan was home."Haech" Jeno called slowly walking towards the other room and checking the knob and it wasn't locked so he try to intrude since Haechan always does that to him at every random time. Jeno opened the door halfway through and bam!Haechan just actually finished showering and is trying to fit his big shirt in him. Although his body was exposed and thankfully he was already wearing a boxer. Jeno froze having to sew the male exposed like this for the first time in forever; well the sleeping accident almost 4 years ago, Haechan's melanin skin ran through every inch of his body and it was smooth, his flat stomach and thin wai-."...Fuck" Jeno reddened like those fresh tomatoes and panicked to get out of the room when his and Haechan eyes met and both widen when they realize everything that is happening.Jeno close the door immediately and sigh, fuck that will make things so awkward!Jeno just scolded himself, and was groaning erasing that memory, and hitting his head in the process until he heard the door click revealing Haechan fully dressed now. "erm..w-welcome home...is that our dinner?" Haechan asked as he notice the McDonald's plastic bag Jeno is carrying now and Jeno silently sigh and nodded. Trying to act as if nothing happen, that was the best option to avoid making things super worst and awkward.They both quietly eat the meal with a television playing on the side, Haechan caught some small glances from Jeno and is really annoyed by the atmosphere, Jeno j-just...he just saw him almost naked, it wasn't a big deal! They were friends since primary school and things shouldn't be acting weirdly."S-so you will go to work early today?" Haechan try starting a conversation because the silence just created a weird tension between the two of them, though as he speak Jeno seem surprised he spoke and pop his head up to look at Haechan, obviously his face look a little flustered but Haechan just wants to brush it off. Again it wasn't a big deal."Y-yeah, my boss said we will have a many V.I.P. coming tonight and we are currently understaffed, so I gotta work double" Jeno said, or more like explained with some stuttering in between. "Well, he said I can get a bonus when those customers like the drink I serve" Jeno then added and Haechan only nodded about it whilst listening."You? How was your project?" Jeno then asked, keeping the conversation. "Well, I'm halfway through it, so it's fine we still have a month or at least before it's due," Haechan said, " Well I can help you a little sometimes," Jeno said and Haechan immediately shook his head."You're a busy man, working part-time, while I only sell things online you have a proper part-time" Haechan said, concerned because Jeno doesn't even get a decent sleep because his part-time schedule contradicts his classes.They talk more about the usual school and about Jeno's aunt asking them to visit the ricefield when they were free, they finish dinner subtly forgetting about what had happened earlier and that was a good thing. Jeno goes on and takes a shower and has a quick hour nap and then prepares on going to work, again seeing Haechan busy with his school works.Jeno wasn't that packed up, he got to finish his project and project plates every night and he only draws most of the time or just does it in school. Haechan and him are taking scholarships so keeping a grade is a must, Jeno only has a part-time but Haechan have a whole active theater club so Haechan is busy with many things. He also is a light of a party and socializing; finally, the old Haechan came back after healing. He was always invited and he seem to not say no because sometimes he will get paid when he sings to one birthday party so he liked that side-line kicks.Jeno finally went to his work, and to this part of the town, it was so much lively when the moon comes up the flashy LED light, and the booming music. The business was starting. He went in and got in his uniform to start as he was told he is the one of the one serving that V.I.P.He was not really interested in why they got a big room area, and why they were in a specific blue suit like all of them wear a blue suit.They were old, that description is what Jeno could confirm since the lighting in this room was kinda dim. The table where the guest is seated surrounds the circular stage, apparently, that stage is covered fully by a red mesh curtain for the added excitement, and to Jeno's knowledge, that stage has a pole placed on it. They seem to have a personal performance here.So Jeno wonders who will be the performer. Well to all of Jeno's knowledge there are only four entertainers in this club and those girls are already in their position on the first floor when they are now on the third floor of this building."Hey, don't just stand there, serve the cocktails" One of his superiors whisper-shout at his ear when he was literally frozen in one corner because he wasn't sure of this situation. This was kind of odd.He also realize only the new recruit was here, they all seem to mindlessly serve the cocktail to every guest, but indeed something was wrong.When he approaches one guest to offer a drink, he freaking receives a spank from one old man, Jeno's eyes widen while the old man only laughs and continues groping his butt."U-uh sir, --Please your hand" Jeno hesitantly put down the drink supposedly, the old man rather ignore him and started to make him sit on the man's lap and Jeno panicked and look at some guys at the same table and only look at him with such lust, that made Jeno panicked.Jeno can't let himself be treated like this so he moves away, more aggressively and that must've and definitely offended the old man who looks at Jeno with a frown. "Sir, I'm sorry but this isn't right, not even our entertainer is allowed to be touched by guest" Jeno retorted angrily and when he look at the other of his workmate, they were already being man-handled by the old guest. Jeno's eyes have gone shaky but it seems that the old man doesn't like people hindering what he want so with Jeno looking concerningly at one of his co-worker being pinned on a table, he receives a rather hard punch from the guy that makes him fall on the ground.The old man seems not satisfied yet and stood up to kick Jeno in the stomach while shouting incoherency. Jeno wanted to fight back but his head got stepped on by the old man which made him have a headache and it made him dizzy."Mr. Hiruzen, the main performance will start, we should watch it," One guy from the same table said as if he didn't see Jeno being abruptly stepped on and beaten."Fuck" Jeno cursed as the voice announcer about the performer seem like an incoherent echo ringing in his ears, he didn't even understand.All he knows is the song had started. And the show will begin.
👑 👑 👑(For the best experience listen to a piece of sexy slow music, example: Down on Me, Saturday drip)
Hands felt cold holding this mental pole bare hands, in this thin and reveal dress. Jaemin took a deep breathe.He was wearing a lengthy silk gown embellished with small golden rhinestone, it sparkle in this darkness.His dress may length down his feet but its slit was invisible as the dress has slits on both sides and that whole side is slit and open that's why his skin is practically exposed more the side of his chest were showing and his legs are being well flexed. The dress just all come together with small ribbon string just above his waist and even the side of his butt was revealing. It was such a promiscuous dress. He also has golden string going over his head and such luscious earrings.It was a good thing he was also wearing a golden mask so those assholes won't recognize him, he was in position barefoot but have accessories around his ankle like gold bangles and have metallic gold choker around his neck while the thin string of the dressing rest on his shoulder.He first heard the commotion but he didn't need to move and look at what was happening behind these mesh red curtains. With just a few more seconds a voice came announcing the performance was about to start and the neon lights who are crazily moving in the room stop and got replaced by red lights to set the mode as the curtain slowly reveal him. Jaemin hold tightly to the bole bar with his eyes close, the music started with a small slow dub-step and when the spotlight flash about him, he opened his eyes and started to rock his body.He goes down, kneels down, and then on all fours and feels the beat of the music backing him up as he wiggles those cheeks slowly, he trail down his hands on his dress down to his revealed legs and brush it sensually making eye contact to the people around him. He put his hand up, feeling his neck and mouth ajar for added feelings. He rocks his body to the beat slowly twerking his hips while the beat drops down.He slowly holds onto the pole playing with it first swaying his body and turning and swirling with the help of the pole to see everybody in this room."27"They were twenty-seven people here along with the servant who seem to be being partied on top of the table. Though Jaemin was greedy and he want all attention to be on him. When he lifted his leg his whole thigh was revealed and he started to pole dance, making sure everyone was looking at him, and drooling for him.Those nasty eyes darting every part of his body, that was what he wanted. "Yes, I'm here look at me" Jaemin whispers in his head making sure to make eye contact with every viewer he has. He started dancing sensually and had some small interactions with his watchers, when he was on the floor his hand even got a kiss from one man who is all crinkled up.And it pulled him, and whisper to him " I can give you a bed full of money if you go down on me" The old man say and Jaemin rather snickered."What more could you offer?" Jaemin said pulling away, with a smile and leaving the guy's eye contact with a wink, and continue on dancing. He finally got everyone thirsting for him and that made him smile, he couldn't even hide it as his lips raise when he saw how their eyes try and imagine eating him inside their trash dirty minds. He slowly stands up, stressfully slowly flexing his perfect body proportion, thin waist, wide smooth hips, and petite structure. A body that seems so easy to destroy.He stood up with such proud eyes yet the show wasn't even starting and the music was still playing, everyone was lusting and waiting for more and so Jaemin crawl his hand on his thigh as may be a way of teasing, though behind the dress, clinging on the golden ring wrapped around bought of Jaemin's thigh was a revolver clinging. And it all happens in a flash. Jaemin pulled his revolver and started shooting, the bull's eye every single person in this room, counting how many he have shot and calculating the number of bullets he still has.Some who are in late reaction started to get their gun was still dropped dead on the floor, having to be late to dodge Jaemin's bullet as well. Jaemin professionally killed every single man, bodyguard, and servant alive just a minute ago. With that, he views his artwork of dead people and blows a thin smoke coming from his revolver's mouth.And Jeno, he saw it all. He was about to move up when the performance was dancing but there was one thing that stop him."He looks like Jaemin" His mind registered as soon as his eyes met the performer's lips. Saw his whole body stop, even though his head feel like cracking up he stare at the man. While the performer was dancing all he stare at is the performer's lips."Is it really Jaemin?" Jeno could only question himself and then he heard a sound of a gun and made him go down from the ground where he was already is, and when his corner is getting shoot at the old man who grope and beat him fall down on him, dead and eyes open showing a surprise expression and a wounded forehead, exactly on the middle.Jeno panicked and stayed being covered by a dead body which was a good strategy as he might get counted as dead by this maniac who was just dancing earlier and now have killed almost everyone from this room.And chills crawl down on Jeno's whole body when the man took off his mask, he was Jaemin.Jeno's whole body felt like malfunctioning and panicking and his head can't even register a proper response about this revelation, his feelings are fucked up and mixed but one thing is confirmed, his heart was beating like it was running. Yet all was just in a split second and the man left the room and some more guys in black suits came in and they seem like the cleaning crew of this mass murder. And so to not get caught Jeno crawled to the ground and was fortunate enough that the room was dark. He got to the exit with a fast-beating heart, he doesn't know if it was because he saw someone that look like Jaemin, or Jaemin indeed himself. Or was he nervous he just witness the whole scene of a murder with his two eyes and he was too supposedly should be dead right now? But thinking all that he then run out from that floor and hide from the dancing crowd on the first floor. He was panicking, anxious like he did something really bad and as if he was a criminal.He quickly left with his motorbike, "What the fuck did just happen!"On the other hand, Jaemin got out of that room now filled with dead people, and go to backstage. "Thank you, Mr. Yin, for letting me borrow your club for this" Jaemin said, still on the dress but luckily his assistant immediately covered him with a white blanket.The owner of the club nodded only with a smile, " Why should I decline, I sacrifice only a few of my people when the Na literally gives me a new life, this is nothing Mr. Na" Mr. Yin said with such delight and Jaemin nodded. Jaemin then checked his gun one last time and notice one bullet left inside of it. He was about to mention it but a call from afar rather caught his attention."Master!" One woman in a black suit comes running into the hall and approaches Jaemin, The boy turns to the servant who was catching his breath but nonetheless reaches out his hand and reveals Jaemin's bracelet.The swan bracelet."This was found on the stage where you performed, it may have fallen down," The woman said and Jaemin to his bracelet, and now thinking of it maybe this was taken off when he was aggressively got pulled by the old man earlier. Annoying."Thank you," Jaemin said and only give the woman a small smile. "Oh, my that bracelet must be very important to you Mr. Na" Mr.Yin mentioned and Jaemin just chuckled lowly."It is, the most precious thing I own"
👑 👑 👑
"B-but I lost it!", a little Jaemin cried pointing his wrist to Minhyung, they were currently inside Jaemin's room, and Minhyung sighed. "Maybe we have lost it inside the rose maze in the backyard earlier," Minhyung said, it was the only place to suspect since they play there earlier to find some red roses on bushes of white roses."But how about our promises it's broken now" Jaemin cried more, really putting down himself as his entire fault for losing such a precious thing. "No, it won't be the promises will still be with us" Minhyung try to convince the latter but Jaemin shook his head and continue on crying."But you said, the swan is the sign of our ownership a-and you said it is the seal so our wishes and promises will not break, I ruined it, I'm so bad" Jaemin continue on and sob wiping his eyes countless times and that just made Minhyung heartache and tremble so he scoops up Jaemin with his arms and wrapped the male around his embrace."Don't worry Nana, our promises are sealed because I'm always here with you, I'm enough as a sign and proof that everything will be okay. I will never leave you, I love you".Minhyung continues on hugging Jaemin and comforting him and wait until Jaemin finally had fallen asleep.Jaemin woke up with puffy eyes and such awareness, he stood up quickly and go out to the backyard as his maids started to sprint toward him panicking about why is he going outside the moment he woke up. He diligently finds the bracelet and does not let the maid help him. He wants to find his bracelet all by himself since he believes he was the one who lost it. And after half of the day finding his bracelet he finally found it. Next to a withering rose.Yet he ignore the dead rose and was more than happy to find his bracelet.He runs to the house to ask for the maid to call Minhyung so he can tell him that he finally found the bracelet but his maid announces him a report that sinks down his heart to the bottom."The Lee household said, Mr. Lee Minhyung hadn't been home since yesterday, and all his contact are untraceable".
👑Jaemin gasped and pull up from his bed waking up from a nightmare that bothers his heart and mind, his heartbeat was going crazy, it was because of fear and nostalgia. He dreamt of him again. And he is holding tears on the brim of his eyes again.Nonetheless, Mark must have felt his movement and turned to him and hugged the male who was sitting down. "You okay Nana?" Mark asked with a deep, groggy voice. Jaemin sigh and try to contain the sudden surge of emotion in his system and only nodded, yet Mark knew Jaemin for the long years they have been together in one bed, he knew what was happening.He then pulled down Jaemin to lay down again and make Jaemin face him and wipe the tears that finally fall from Jaemin eyes, "Don't cry, looks at you, your so pretty" Mark said and kissed Jaemin's forehead and embraces Jaemin inside his arm. "It's okay, I'm here".

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Jeno head was filled so many question, he was flabbergasted, at the same time his mind is filled with confusion that by over-thinking and trying to comprehend everything that had happen earlier he started to cry because of the over-flowing emotion that was all mixed up.He don't know if he was happy, sad, scared or whatever. It just clash and one and he feel so messed up that his visiom feeo blurry while he was driving his motorbike. The speed increases as he carry more thoughts in his head and he was quite lucky no police saw him over-speeding in the highway. He went home, his hands were even trembling and is weak that's why he cannot twist the knob of their door and just fall on the ground on his knees crying.His head kept on calling the boy's name, "Jaemin", this made feel exhilarated and happy but why does he shivers and feel like crying. His knees were down bruising it up on the rough cemented ground and head lean on the door ylthat he can't even open. His hand form a fist because of the frustration he was feeling and it feel so suffocating. He didn't even bother thinking about the other event that happen earlier, even almost twenty men got killed including his co-worker his mind is still fixated to one person. He was so scared, but was s Happy as he can confirm a fact.Jaemin is alive.He was realpy devoted on seeing Jaemin again, too devoted that he was now on the floor crying because of. He was actually breaking down with one in mind, he wanna meet Jaemin again, it sound selfish to say considering his best friend Haechan past relationship towards Jaemin but Jeno just wanted to finally be close to Jaemin again. How badly he miss the male was so obvious as he wouldn't be like this, timid and cold because of Na Jaemin.As the door of their apartment opened Haechan panicked seeing Jeno crying on the floor and quickly crouch down to know why Jeno was crying."Jen! Why are you crying? Did something happen?!" Haechan asked and it was obvious on how his voice panics seeing Jeno's puffy face, he cupped the male's puppy cheeks and lifted it to face him and asked again, "Why is there something wrong?"It sound so sympathetic, that it made Jeno cry even more seeing Haechan as he knows what he want could affect and hurt his best friend tremendously. So Jeno hesitated to say what he want and choose to be quiet instead of spilling something about and are related to Mark Lee. He know it will offend and hurt Haechan tremendously. Haechan, on the other hand, automatically put Jeno in his arms as the boy continue to cry, and this made Haechan also pout and be at the edge of crying on Jeno's state right now."Come on, Jen, you can tell me" Haechan said convincing the other that he is hugging while Jeno only sniffles as he was hesitant, should he really answer this, and Haechan figures Jeno's hesitancy as Haechan knew Jeno a little bit better than other. "Please Jeno, tell me don't make me worry about you too" Haechan then said and Jeno stopped on sniffling."I-I saw Jaemin in the club I-I work at".Jeno started to whimper again in Haechan's arm and Haechan froze. He knew it, he knew this day would come and the two will cross path. As soon as he saw Jaemin going home in the news being a new person, he fear and suspected this would happen and what broke him more as Jeno is really hurt, and the boy haven't move on. He caresses Jeno and tries to fight the urge of crying as well. "Don't cry Jeno" Haechan can only form those word and rather stop his next sentence since his voice already turn shaky seeing Jeno's state.Why do you love him so much? I hate it that you react like this, cry like this because of himHaechan embrace tighten and Jeno finally lean his head on his best friend chest. Haechan pause and look down at Jeno, even gulping, he doesn't know if this was the best decision. Yes, by this decision he might get hurt and be pulled in the past again but Jeno, his best friend was dragged to this world and met Jaemin because of his own selfishness, so the least he could do is make this sacrifice."You wanna go back to Seoul, Jen?" Haechan asked, with his soft voice avoiding to shake and shiver yet when Jeno look up to see Haechan Jeno realizes what he have triggered, all along it wasn't just him who was also trying to cage himself and just accept everything that had been placed."B-But you might s-see Ma--""Shhh, it's okay. I'm fine--I'm okay now -r-right, let's try it, let's try and get your story again?" Haechan said and Jeno shook his head, he just break down by the over-whelming feeling he got seeing Jaemin after so many years but that doesn't mean they will try their past mistake again. "No-No, you will suffer then. I-I can't do that to you" Jeno said as he insist and declined, yet Haechan just gave him a thin smile while shaking his head.He put his palm cupping Jeno's soaked with tears cheeks and look at Jeno eye to eye."I'm stronger than ever, I need you to heal and be love because you deserve it. Trust me a little too Jeno" Haechan said yet with his last sentence he started to weeping as well, he quickly try to wipe his tears and try to chuckle it off but Jeno didn't see it any good. Two friends concern of each other's feelings."Trust me Jeno, I don't love Mark... like before anymore". Haechan said and Jeno return the action of cupping Haechan's left cheek, caressing it as a tear fall down. " How can I believe that if your crying like this" Jeno then answered and he notice how Haechan keep in his upcoming tears that tore him more. "You're not strong enough, we both are, we still shake and cry, we can't face them if we still feel the same way while they don't"."How could I know I'm not strong enough if I don't try testing it" Haechan yet insisted and Jeno sigh, in between his tears also falling and dripping down his chin."Haechan" Jeno sigh in disbelief." We will go to Seoul, I will show Mark that I'm strong even though he break me and you will prove to Jaemin that your love is more than he imagine!" Haechan rather encourages now holding Jeno's both hand, of course pleasing Jeno as Haechan knew who is Jeno's weakness, it was the person at fault on Jeno's tears right now. Na Jaemin. Or Lee Jaemin rather.👑 👑 👑Jaemin woke up by the alarm, he reach out his hand to stop it and slowly groan feeling the cold side of the bed. Mark was already gone and had started his day...Though Jaemin can still feel remnant of Mark's embrace on his body, it was warm and comforting, ind3ed something that could calm him down. Jaemin stood up from his or their bed with a bothered mind. It has been a while since he dream about the specific past events. It was good that he got to remember this again yet he feel like crying every time this past-like; memory collecting, dreams are about a certain person. Lee Minhyung.The male, he is someone so big that initially affected Jaemin's current personality and likes, the presence of Lee Minhyung in his dream was so warm as if he had seriously and deeply cherish and love Lee Minhyung. It sometimes frustrates Jaemin as to why he feel all bubbly and shaky thinking of the man, yet one thing that he could confirm, he did love and trust Minhyung so much.Also when he thinks about Lee Minhyung being missing and still being out of reach, there was this some kind of pit in his heart that is aching and boiling.Yet those thought of Lee Minhyung was shaken' off by Jaemin as he go take a bath first before eating breakfast, remember what he forget is good but reminiscing for all it's drama is time consuming, he was someone else right now, he wasn't Na Jaemin, He kept reminding he is Lee Jaemin, a person everyone should fear and the strongest, even though behind the smug person is a boy crying every night because of his dream. As he got out of bed he immediately got handed over a phone by one of his maid."Yes, I will see you later", it was a known caller, a new member of a new family.He washes his face averting his thought to something different. As soon as Jaemin finally came back to the white mansion he felt like the air became more thin and colder than he remember, it was so empty, dark and quiet. There is not even any spark of happiness. Even the maids were frowning.He prepare himself to go to the university where he wass transferred only a week ago, he will only have a few short class for today and he won't be attending the afternoon since he is needed for a meeting in Black Rose. The bidding meeting.The responsibility he was carrying is indeed so heavy and choking. Though as if he had a choice, and since he rather had no choice as he was the descendant and heir to be place in such high role, he just make sure to keep his sanity and rule that dark world. He only go for a casual cardigan for today, of course owned by Mark. As he always like wearing Mark clothes and his husband allowed him to wear it. After preparimg his stuff he went down and made his breakfast, and then after eating breakfast he go straight to his cars and drive to the university.He just visited the council club and the music club, yet because of last night activities other members are still not there. It was like a swift of time when he is in the university as he only pass the blood smear test assigment he have; it was the one day he asked Mark for some blood. He attend a couple of hour of lesson and then went ahead to his other businesses.As he go to the HQ, he wasn't required to drive since there will be someone who will pick him up to go there. A high class security of Black Rose. That includes the organization's assigned assasin, hitman, agents and etc.On the way he change his clothes to something, elegantly formal; as it is also botheringly being required to wear formal attire while they do illegal stuff, he don't even know why. After hours of drive, finally getting in the underground venue of the HQ that is in the middle of nowhere he finally saw some people communicating with one another, maybe conversing about the 'goods' they will buy today and what is the most famous one, or just casual gossiping and spreading rumors. Like what they do most and best.Jaemin got only greeted by some 'branch family' and some head of the organization as well that somehow Jaemin despises. Jaemin started to try and find Mark yet the boy was out of sight, well Jaemin thought that Mark would be here since he woke up without Mark next to him. That small fact oddly hurt Jaemin yet he brushes that off immediately, ignoring it.He didn't realize how he unconsciously started to care more.One butler then went out of the bidding room announcing that the activity will start, " Respectful guest, the products are all set. This signals that you may now enter and go to your respetful seat as the biddding will start momentarily".The butler announces and everyone except from Jaemin was indeed excited. He had been in the bidding room before and he despise it, he hates it with every bone he have, but one good memory indeed stuck in his head that make the bidding roon less traumatizingMost of the time products in cargo heist are meant to be bid, some are rare expensive jewelry; may be brand new or a jewelry worn by queens and princesses, and some are humans, slaves.It was something that a kid Jaemin feared how certain young girls and boys tremble as they were placed in the glass-made cage, hearing million raise to billions, and also clearly see their unfortunate state as they are now being stuck in this world. Although, there was one person that Jaemin could remember, a product of the imfamous 'White Room'.It was Ayunnah. The first ever and last purchase of HyunMin Na in the bidding, as he never intend to buy slaves in his whole life, but it twist when his son requested him to save the girl.Jaemin sat uncomfortably on the given chair next to some other people who joined. The chair is given with some buttons in the arm part of it, an extension part of the leather armchair. Buttons of numbers, that can be an equivalent to the price they can pay and will pay for the bid. The light shuts down as the bidding procedure commenced. It was expected that jewelries are first and then the some kind of main event, the trained slaves. Jaemin flinch seeing the first girl cry and literally tremble seeing and realizing the place she was. She was only 13, and she was both for only fifteen million. Literally her life is more than just a couple of million cash. This was as if a torture for Jaemin to see each product slave cry and some just stare blank with the trauma visible in their glass-like eyes.The bidding for slaves continue and bidders gets more active as the slaves get physically pleasing, or gets prettier as it last. "Ah, tan skin, why not purchase this for your husband Mr. Lee he seem to have a thing for it" One old man sarcastically laugh, seeing the boy inside the cylinder-like cage, and whipped his eyes to the new leader of Black Rose.Jaemin's jaw clenched, trying to remain his figure and stop himself from lashing off, " I think my husband is already satisfied with me, he don't need a sex slave".The man rather chuckle and retorted," I am not quite sure when you, yourself knew you weren't enough Mr. Na since ever since then you were not alone, and till today he always get visit from the head's son and daughters, well what can we do your husband is one active young man and it's tradition!".Jaemin gritted his teeth and his hand turned to fist whilst trembling in angry."fuck" Jaemin whisper to himself, as he decided to remain quiet or else his patience will get cut short and he might blow up, yet the old man along with his amigos laugh at his own sarcasm and it makes Jaemin look so little in this world where he should be someone big and fearsome.Finally the bidding ended and everyone go on to their own personal quarters to test the thing they have purchased while Jaemin went out empty hand hearing whisper when he walk pass by."He is just like his father, such incompetent"."I bet he already got cut in their family genes, he should go now and be a branch instead of acting ignorant"."He will definitely get killed like his father".Rather than facing those people Jaemin just walk on the straight path and aim to go to the head's office to relax himself with peace yet the demons doesn't want that, unfortunately."Ah, Jaemin you're here! I thought you will be apphrensive to go here, but it seem you are getting tougher". Renjun greeted, as he want to sound it like some compliment but Jaemin know all too well that was his voice of sarcasm."You too Mr. Huang, didn't expect you to be here since you are still less...relevant".Renjun paused and rather got offended, while Jaemin just raise his left lip, smirking. "You know, I have prepared a beautiful gift for you since your birthday is near, like the old days" Jaemin then said, oh, we such a fake smile and Renjun just went along with his character of smiling as well when they both know they want to pull each other's hair. "Wow, you really are so kind and beautiful in the heart Jaemin" Renjun replied witn those flattering voice that Jaemin can't help but frown on how Renjun tuned it."Oh wait look at the time! I should go, your husband is waiting for me" Renjun then said, with those smile that even his eyes smile and it just full of sarcasm. It was a great final words so Renjun decided to walk pass through Jaemin finishing their conversation but the moment he walk pass through the male, Jaemin immediately grab his wrist and turn to him, Renjun rather frown on the creepy smile Jaemin hold."The Gift, I can show you know, I'll borrow you from my husband for a minute" Jaemin said, with a rather calm voice. Renjun arch his brows low as he was confused. Yet nothing could harm him. If it is only a death threat kind of gift he wouldn't even be surprise.Though Jaemin didn't brought him to the private office that is used by Mr. Na HyunMin that is now owned by Jaemin, he was rather brought to the second hall meeting room. Used for announcement and etc. As they open the door, head of the family are already there and even his father yet Mr. Huang only turn to him and then turn away again."Why are involving me to this meeting?" Renjun asked and Jaemin rather smile, " Just wait, you will love this, you might die yourself" Jaemin said, the one being sarcastic right now and Renjun was rather frowning and had no other choice but to seat down. This meeting room have an aisle in the middle and row of chairs on both side and a small elevated part infront that could be consider a stage. Jaemin approach the front and face every body with his thin smile as his eyes wander checking if everyone is here. Well Family representative of the Zhong is busy with some mission right now but is already informed by this announcement so ot is already fine."Good day My Co-rose, comrade, and family" yuck! Jaemin would wish to vokit declarinf that but he rather continue the show, " We had been through so many hurdle for the passed years, and with those hurdle we left a couple of our love one's our comrade, that is Mr. Zhong and my humble father Mr. Na HyunMin" Jaemin go on.Renjun listen attentively, it was rather rare for him to seat in to the head's meeting since his father is still existing he cannot foster the place yet."Yet in every pathway, in every stop, in every phase, we would meet different people and associate with them. Without realizing they are our future family" Jaemin said with such dashing smile, "A bigger we became the stronger that we need to be, the more shield and sword we need to make, And we have now we have a new pillar for the future of Black Rose, Head Rose welcome the Liu representative".Renjun froze, Liu"Around of applause for Mr. Liu Yangyang!"Renjun eyes widen, immediately whipped his head to the door and so the one and only Liu Yangyang, his whole system fell like strucking down, breaking down, crashing to pieces and he was immediately in his edge of tears seeing the male walk to the middle aisle going to the front. His eyes wary and look at his father with a telling eyes and his father just ignore him, seem to be telling him everything was his fault.Yangyang went infront and hug Jaemin as the two exchange a formal kiss on the cheek as a greeting, and Yangyang turn around with a big smile to the crowd, but rather than meeting Yangyang eyes, he met Jaemin.Those evil eyes, those smile. Renjun's jaw gritted and clenches in anger.👑 👑 👑Renjun slam the door open that made Mark flinches in surprise and sigh seeing Renjun." You should've atleast knock" Mark said, as he just got in the Huang's main mansion after an errand, or some kind of bank heist by Mr. Huang. "Did you know that Jaemin is connecting Yangyang to all of this!?" Renjun said, yet his voice were shaky though it was obvious that his tone was angry and he was shaking in anger.Mark paused, and that is when Renjun got the answer. "So you knew! Why didn't you stop him! You promise me to never include or associate with the Liu! I have been suffering stopping myself from looking at them! But you just let Jaemin slide it like that!" Renjun angrilty said and Mark sigh massaging his forehead feeling his cold temperature fingers. As he was practically cleaning his hands earlier, it has some red stains."You know Jaemin is out of my control anymore" Mark said yet Renjun didn't take that as a reason.."That's the whole reason why you are here! To control him, Your fucking Lee Minhyung!" Renjun shouted and yet that got in Mark's nerves. "I told you he already knew I wasn't! Ever since the start he knew! I'm not Lee fucking Minhyung!""Listen, Lee, if not because of me and my father you are already may be dead by now after being sold as a fucking slave" Renjun said, with such threatening voice walking and approaching Mark, Renjun anger's was something strong and something destructive and... Manipulative."You are no different from me, we are just the same" Mark said as his height hovers the other male, yet Renjun didn't even flinch and just glare at Mark with fire in his eyes. "Yes, and that's why I am act how I am told, because I have a fucking gratitude to them, so you better act one too because you aren't here so you could fuck everyone" Renjun and argued."So act Like Lee Minhyung, because you are that person now, and do your job correctly" Renjun said pushing and hitting Mark's chest and leaving the room.Mark's tears fall down, as his whole life was disregarded just like that, because he was indebted by them, for this life.For this life.Mark's aggressively throw away all the stuff infront of him, creating a chaos in the room out of anger, even bruising his palm and made it bleed, slowly dripping on the ground.People started using him for their own convinience, like he was just some tool. That he even don't know who he really is. His personality was forcely taken away from him, everything that could make Mark be Mark, was erased as he was forced to be someone else in order to escape a place he didn't even choose t be in.Should he be thankful of this life? This life carry nothing but misery and sin. Mark crumpled right there and fall down on his knees crying, as loud as he can since no one can here him yet. Letting all this out, because it hurt so much keeping it in. What did he do to deserve this.Mark was so tired, distressed and everything."Fuck you, Lee Minhyung".
Actually it breaks my heart seeing this Mark's side being unfold to everyone as well, everyone can be weak, behind those stern cold action was just a boy who wanted justice on why he deserve pain.Anyway, Lee Minhyung, Mark's twin is mentioned here that means Minhyung's flashback. Why is he not here and what kind of person he is.So please anticipate that♡Thie is hyunBea I hope you enjoy the chapter!♡
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
A month before Lee Minhyung's Disappearance●●●●
Jaemin hold the gun shakily, tears brimming on his eyes as he try to see his supposed target. Heart was racing for no reason and his sweat pour down from his forehead down his cheeks."I can't do it" He defeatedly sigh and fall down on his knees hopeless. Why was he this weak when everyone around him weren't. Was he really meant to be here, or his soul was just lost.Minhyung sigh and got in the shooting area to pick up the crying boy, "Is it still bothering you?" Minhyung said as he crouch down and level his face to Jaemin, The little one continue to wipe his tears yet didn't fail to let go of the gun he was practicing on. "I-I just feel like I was hearing it again... It scares me Min Hyung" Jaemin said as he cry and Minhyung understood him quite well, as he slowly scoot and approached Jaemin to embrace and calm the younger.Trauma, indeed can leave such huge crack and dents in a person's life. Jaemin was a Na, in an everyday basis someone would always plan to threatened his life, and that did happen dreadfully at his fifth birthday, all of his maid died just to cover him, shield their body for him, the blood and how scream because of torture, the shot of the gun and the bullet going through their head. Ever since that accident, Jaemin would always have tantrums, and PTSD symptoms when seeing a gun.This was when Ayunnah was place to Jaemin after five butler and maid died for his sake.Minhyung put Jaemin in his arms and was the one to wipe the male's tears as he look over Jaemin, simply kissed the boy's forehead and gave him a healing smile. "I'll cover your ears while you shoot, okay?" Minhyung said with such soft tone and Jaemin just look up at the older with glassy eyes, and in just a few seconds he was convince and nodded.Minhyung position the gun on Jaemin's trembling hand and hold it, "Aim for the target, breathe", he pull up Jaemin to the proper stance position and guide Jaemin's hand as it stretches to the target. Minhyung's lean forward making his face only next to Jaemin as he guide the younger to shoot, when Jaemin was properly place and ready to shoot l, Minhyung kissed the top of Jaemin's head and cover his ears even though there is already a device for it on Jaemin's ears, Minhyungs hand holding him gave him a little strength.He finally click the trigger, his hands that hold the gun tremble as the bullet shoot out hitting the target. It may not be perfect but it was still in the circumference of the target. A 7-point score.Jaemin pause and look at on what he had hit and continue on until he was finally near for the bull's eye. His heart feel like crumpling every time he shoot, and hearing a gun shot feel like he could here again how the people around him whimper and cry in pain just to protect him.Finally, when they were done for that training Minhyung knew all Jaemin wanted to do right now is sleep and rest, since even though his ears were covered his tears still streamed down his chin."There is no hope of me winning against the other kids, I will put my family in shame" the little Jaemin say as he now sat down at his bed, as they went straight to his bedroom. Minhyung then cupped both of Jaemin's cheeks and lift it to face him who was standing. "Don't say that, if they target you I'll make sure you survive longer than the other for tomorrow" Minhyung said, tying another promise as Jaemin purrs on his hand."Can you stay here tonight Min hyung?" Jaemin said, the boy is obviously finding warmth, this house was cold ever since built. The hallways are always empty and quiet. This house only went loud that specific day of the maid massacre, those culprit who intended to kill HyunMin's only son, but abruptly failed as HyunMin was indeed a strong enemy.Before they got to lay their hands to his son, they were already are down."As you wish" Mark said leaning down and kissing Jaemin's plump lips, and the suppose quick comforting peck end lavishing each other's lips since Jaemin kisses back. Jaemin being pushed down slowly on his bed as he hug Mark; arm' wrap around the older's neck. He let himself be hovered by his supposed fianće. Mark's hand stay still caressing Jaemin's cheek as he tilt his head deepening their kiss and slowly also involving their tongue.It dances on each other's mouth, as Jaemin's was admittedly submissive but that just make the kiss soft and also deep. Their nose brushes as Minhyung pull back first getting in some air and then pepper Jaemin with small kisses around his face to make equal attention on every part of Jaemin's face. While Jaemin only hug him tightly and giggled when he start to play on the little one's ear, lightly nibbling on the edges of the ear and kissing it. When Minhyung stop, his eyes got fixated to Jaemin big round eyes, and everything just pause as if commanded.Jaemin also pauses, seem to be drowning on Minhyung's stares."I love you Hyung" Jaemin, he was always the first one to say this. As he make sure to declare that he love Minhyung everyday.Minhyung then smiled and kisses his forehead."I"His nose bridge"Love"The very tip of his nose"You"Then his lips again"Too".The two continue their kissing and cuddling session until both of them fell asleep without realizing they haven't been eating dinner so they woke up early in the morning for breakfast. Jaemin was the one who volunteered to cook breakfast for Minhyung and he made pancakes that are sweetly shaped as hearts. Even though today was a serious day Minhyung let Jaemin be all cheerful as it will only break Jaemin down even worse pressuring him more to the world he is surrounding of.Both take a bath and again share kisses and do more stuff, They also dot on Minhyung's fifteenth birthday next month so Jaemin was very excited about it. Though of course his birthday will come first.But he is indeed more excited of Minhyung's birthday rather than his own.👑 👑 👑As it was noted that, that very day isn't a very positive one to end Minhyung made sure to hold onto Jaemin's hands on the opening party. HyunMin was out of the sight, doing some adult business in the other floor while his mother Ms. Bea don't really correlate herself inside the Black Rose society. So it was only hik and Jaemin..Minhyung was knowledgeable of many things, like how the Kim were the one of the mastermind of the Na Mansion attempted massacre. He know and studied every family representative ad he knew from the start dark money are held by demon kind of human and he was write. Knowledge of the situation practically save Minhyung to be enslaved by this prideful people, he isn't working nor teaming on anyone. In the first place he was just there because he was the official future partner of the Black Rose heir.And being including in the highest peak of this society was not a good thing, people will get you down or either if you seem to be someone useful, they will use that person for their own advantage; Mark."Oh! I saw Hansol hyung, I'll say hi to him" Jaemin chirped and let go of Minhyung's hand and then ran to the other older guy. Minhyung only sigh seeing his cousin looking at him with a knowing smirk.If only they weren't in the same family Minhyung had destroyed him too."Mr. Lee" A familliar voice call out and Minhyung turn to his right and saw Mr. Huang, smiling, suspiciously. "Mr. Huang, Good Day" Minhyung replied formally, also try to be a little casual with his small posture.Minhyung then notice a kid, maybe not a real kid, someone that could be the same age of Jaemin, that kid pop out behind Mr. Huang and look at him with those droopy-eyes. Minhyung notices how the other try to tend and make himself timidly and innocent by his appearance by such eyes that show he can be clueless at the same time Minhyung don't trust anyone in this room but Jaemin and later on get his eyes off the male and look back to the old man he was talking too."Oh, this is my son Renjun, he is almot same as your age" Mr. Huang then said and introduce the kid next to him which made Minhyung avert his eyes again to the kid and their eyes met, yet rather than greeting the kid like a normal thing after an introduction, Minhyung stood there, look at the boy for exact two second and continue his walk to go to Jaemin completely ignoring the two.And of course Renjun got offended by the Minhyung's action, looking so defeat when Minhyung look so disinterested when he saw him."Nana, Let's prepare the shooting ceremony will start" Minhyung said escorting, or more like pushing Jaemin away from Hansol and pulling the younger to a private quarters in this party hall. "Is there a problem hyung?" Jaemin asked and Minhyung only shook his head smile, " Nope, It was only announce we should prepare because there is only an hour before the ceremony" Minhyung then reasoned outThey indeed prepare change into their attire for the event, a known event for each kid of the Black Rose, specially their inheritors. A shooting ceremony.It is a ceremony where all of the kids will be given a gun, not a real one, and try to fight and eliminate each other inside the given field, it is somehow training and also show who could be the dominant heir of the future Black Rose. As of that day, no one can beat HyunMin Na sword and gun skills as the man was born to spill blood of anyone he desires to end.And it gives strange wonder on who will be the next one in line.Minhyung oath to be next to Jaemin in the shooting arena, or the battlefield, even though they weren't holding actually gun as the gun bullet will be only hurt because of the hit, but not deadly and also doesn't explode or blow like how pistol be when they are triggered, which is a thing that can bring Jaemin in panic and submissive and rather self destructive tantrums.This gun may not trigger Jaemin by the sound but if he get pointed directly he might react the same thing so he tried his best to be station near Jaemin when they get out. Though they weren't.The game started, and Minhyung entered realizing he was put to the different corner of the map intentionally to be away from Jaemin. Minhyung immediately flick the handle to prepare to shoot, as he intent to score and at the same time get to Jaemin's destination.It was a dark room with different obstacle and crooked place of walls enough to crouch down for a person to hide. The position of each obstacle were simultaneous making up some kind of maze. Yet Minhyung had study the location early as this fighting arena is visible from the above, since in the higher part of this arena are window glasses where the spectator watch in full view what was going to happen.It was dark and there will be scattered night-vision glasses in the area and that is what Minhyung aim to find along the way. They say no man are perfect and it is true since Minhyung is afraid of the dark, the void of darkness that somehow pull him to overthink of every situation, darkness just made him alone and it scared him along with personal experiece, yet Minhyung try to tolerate the dimness of the arena luckily there is a small light from above that can illuminate his vision a little,He started to get in his shooting stance being cautious, It was a little quiet since shooting small paint bullets doesn't really make sound.And to what coincidence Minhyujg run over Hansol and the both pause realizing each other, "Well, well it seems like you let go of Jaemin when difficult times occur" Hansol rather spoked and that pisses Minhyung of.And before Hansol could add more word he felt a flick on his forehead and the small pain ball popping and the paint slowly drip down his nose bridge, "You better shut your mouth if you don't intent to say something decent" Minhyung said, of course he is offended on how Hansol put that into words, and he knew he shouldn't be affected by it.Not long some people started to shoot his way, Minhyung have very sharp hearing, as he heard the footstep approach, but suddenly he heard something he shouldn't be hearing nor and specially Jaemin.A gunshot. A loud one."Who the hell is using a real gun?!" Minhyumg started to panic and start flickering his wrist grabbing the second gun from.the gun maybe lect by one player and startef to aim seriously in this darkness.He didn't let any more second pass by and run to find Jaemin, the gunshot blow again and Minhyung sprinted look at every corner to see where Jaemin will be.And then another loud bang."Fuck!" Minhyung cusses as he can't find Jaemin but as it was the third blow he pass by a whimpering noise and finally saw Jaemin in such broken state, crumpled on the corner as his hands weren't even holding the gun since it is now placed on the ground, while Jaemin's hands were on his hair grabbing a fistful and pulling it as he cry; a way of Jaemin to stay in his normal sanity.Minhyung quickly kneel down and wrapped the younger in his arm to comfort him and when Jaemin realizes it was Minhyung he burst into tears and grip on Minhyung's shirt instead of his hair."H-hyung...I-I scared" Jaemin say, shaking and hands that are trying to grip tightly are also trembling.Seeing Jaemin break down infront of him like this, he knew everything was on purpose, the real sounds of a gun, they intend to use it to someone and Minhyung did not make that happen.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
⚜"This must not go for long, our plan dominating the board members will result failure" One board member exclaimed and each and everyone of them agree."That Lee kid, didn't you see how he almost killed clean all the kids inside the arena?! Luckily Renjun dodged as a spy!" one member retorted. All are bothered, because of this one kid they are troubling yet they hate taking that fact in and just deny it. The infiltration of the stems of the higher ups are being delayed because of this strong and smart kid.Lee Minhyung was no joke, a prodigy of all the things. Guns, brains and business strategies. All fit to be next in line to lead the organization yet of course no one like that. Most of the member doesn't approve of this fact and high possibility as they view it unfair.A newbie line in the society will lead them?! Lee Minhyung only got an access to this reign and throne because of the Na, The Na who have been ruling this organization as if it is hierarchical and bloodline base, well what can they do if their family is natured strong and capable to dominate. Maybe that's why they are blessed to bare a child even though their male, it is for them to be at least be submissive in some way.And again, Lee is no joke. As if he also inherited the blood of a Na on how skillful he was, and this only left the board into wonders who was Lee Minhyung's teacher.To reveal, it is none other but HyunMin Na." It's just a kid, you claim yourself as ruthless mafias yet you fear a mere kid who's height is only half of your own?!" Mr. Kim rather exclaimed stopping the bickering of the board who were anxious, which practically pissed Mr. Kim as they all sound so chidish with this kind of topic. "Then... Should we kill the kid?" One suggested and Mr. Kim clicked his tongue."Killing him with no proper plan and getaway, are you wishing for Hyunmin to kill you this instant. You know he is that desperate to fertile his son with a dominant type of blood" Mr. Kim then added, as a matter-of-fact, that everyone knew."Then what should we do?! We should not wait more that kid will now destroy us next. He knows everything!""Don't fret, I have a plan in mind" Mr. Huang then butts in the conversation as he was only calm watching the commotion earlier, even though he is also on the same table as them. His eyes glistened in the dark, obvious that his evil plans have the high accuracy to succeed. And the rest of the board trust Huang as he is the only one who is barely under HyunMin control and influence, he is the black sheep of the black sheep.Mr. Kim rather look intently to Mr.Huang and the male only smirk at the old man. The dark aura spreading was obvious, Mr. Huang is known to be dirty in games, fuck sportsmanship or loyalty, a smart gamer know what he can cheat."We will not kill the target, rather base my plan in the saying, if you can't beat your enemy be an ally instead" Mr. Huang then said, it was not crypted and the meaning was obvious yet there are still things they need to consider."And how could we make him our alley, when he is head over-heels with that limpy weak thot"."Well, the easiest way is to do it by force and so WE. WILL. DO. IT. BY. FORCE".The other member of this secret meeting went ajar, as they thought Huang was only kidding when he is dead serious of everything that he said."And this operation, we will call it operation 'Mark'" Huang then smile with such devilish curve.⚜⚜⚜Minhyung ate his fourth cube of chopped watermelon for tonight's dinner. Jaemin cooked some beef steak and Minhyung was in his wonders on how his supposedly fiance knows how to cook such fancy meal at the age of fourteen."Did you enjoy your meal, Minnie hyung" Jaemin chirped with such huge smile in his face, of course he is happy to see Minhyung enjoying what he had prepared for the older."Tomorrow lets find the rose I saw back in the garden" Minhyung then said, they were both happy, peaceful. Even though in the back of Minhyung's head he knew what is the circumstances of his action in the shooting ceremony could lead."So what do you want to do after dinner?" Minhyung asked to the attentive male just adjacent to his seat. Jaemin's head pop up, with a tint of pink on his cheeks, shrugging a little. "Maybe we could just cuddle since we already studied earlier" Jaemin said with such cute and shy voice and that made Minhyung giggle."Sure, whatever my Nana likes".Minhyung then said as he caresses Jaemin's left cheek, with such modesty Jaemin admire Minhyung well as he fixed the table they have used, pick up the plates and help the maid clean the dishes. Ending up the two of them having a bonding while doing dishes, it was left a secret though since Mr. HyunMin doesn't wanna here his son wash his own plates infront of his made.Those maid will either get fired or get executed if the older male is in a bad mood.After it they went to Jaemin's chamber while holding hands as Jaemin cheerfully talk about how is it like being in nineth grade, while Minhyung only listen to him with a smile on his face.They first go take a bath before going in their sleeping wear. It was a bit sensual but they were teens, hormones.Minhyun take off Jaemin's clothes painfully slow, yet he only look and admire the younger. They both seen it before in Minhyung's fifteenth birthday (their first time :>), and it has been a year, now the boy's birthday is only two weeks away this. There is a plan party for it of course as Mr. Hyunmin and Ms. Bea look forward quite too much the possibility on making their children marry as soon as Jaemin reached eighteen.They dip their body on some lukewarm bubble bath, and Minhyung help scrubbing Jaemin's body. Later on they just chill in the tub for a little more sinking on the feeling while Jaemin lean over Minhyung as the older pepper kisses on his nape."What did you do in Busan last night?" Jaemin then asked and Minhyung only lean his chin before answer. "Nothing much, just assisted mother and actually the boy I was always talking about gave me a small box of cookies when I was leaving" Minhyung then said."Really? Why? and where is the cookie?" Jaemin asked that many, out of curiosity, without realizing this boy will be included in his future where everything falls down in a chaotic manner. Someone he hated but protects.Minhyung shrugs, " The cookie, I gave them away, your food is the only thing I am willing to eat" Minhyungbanswer smoothly.He lean more to Jaemin and only tighten his embrace to Jaemin as now the younger felt Minhyung's chest pressing on his back, " I actually admire how cheerful he is, I bet he also ray as a sunshine to someone, just like how you became my brightest star" Minhyung then said with a smile."I heard that boy is staying there since he only got his grandpa as a family which is our employee, so I kinda think maybe I can help them educationally, he seems like a hard working person" Minhyung then pointed out, and Jaemin only focuses on the Minhyung instead, as he doesn't usually pick interest to some random people, only those that are eye-catching, well.he never saw and actually socialize with the person Minhyung is saying.Nope, he wasn't jealous, since Minhyung always reassures him with his loyalty and Jaemin loves this older so much he would love to trust everything he was saying. He then turn to Minhyung and the two met eyes, in one smile Minhyung smile back to him and lean over to kiss his forehead..."I love you" Minhyung then said after the small peck on the forehead."I love you too" Jaemin answered back, to watch it, it is kinda awkward seeing a fifteen years old promising his love to his fourteen years old fiance. Nonetheless when they knew how they feel for each other, maybe these people could understand that was one of the genuine promises.After taking a bath, Minhyung take care everything for Jaemin. He is also the one who picked the pink pajamas Jaemin is now wearing. He also dry Jaemin's hair with an hair dryer while both hang on the same tune...After a few they settle on the bed with Mark as a big spoon for Jaemin, cuddling him with his arms to make Jaemin be more warm and comfy. They immersed themselves being together even though it has been long since they met, the tingles were still there so everything seems right. Jaemin think's that Minhyung is the prince every princess have in those story books. A handsome, trustworthy prince."You're not asleep yet?" Minhyung asked rather when he felt Jaemin moving a little inside his arms. And Jaemin shakes his head confirming he isn't sleeping yet. "Why? Is there anything bothering you?" Minhyung asked.And another shake of the head.Jaemin then turn his body to face Minhyung, in this dim room since only lamp wall were open it is still kinda dim. The lamp on the side isn't a high percent illumination but the the area is still visible. Minhyung need that as he got a trauma, a bad trauma of the dark.Darkness can make him panic, short of breath, and shivering. He can be so scared that he will cry non-stop.Their eyes still spark and got contact with each other and every time they look at each other, the world kinda pause as it seems that every movement is detailed and slow."I wanna feel it again" Jaemin then said yet Minhyung only frown."What is?" Minhyung asked, and Jaemin was having a haldfhearted decision, and having a hard time literally deciding if he should asked or not because he feel embarassed."That thing you did the other day in the car" Jaemin shyly continued and then slowly bringing up his finger, pointing at his chest, "You...when you kiss this part" Jaemin continue on seeing how Minhyung started to look confuse. Yet after realizing it he chuckle lowly making Jaemin more embarrased."Did it felt good?" Minhyung asked.And of course, Jaemin nodded timidly, averting his gaze away from Minhyung shy on what he did and just asked. He was about to scoot away when Minhyung nonetheless grab his small waist. Minhyung then slowly lift Jaemin's upper clothes making the hem be stretched up to Jaemin's collar.He pull off the cover and met with Jaemin's bare and thin chest.Jaemin looks away immediately when they made eye-contact, and rather bite his lips and tilt his head on the side. This was such a cute reaction for Minhyung. Cute and seductuveAnd Jaemin deserve a little more than a cuddle.He pulls down his head and slowly kiss the pink buds, gave pepper kisses around Jaemin's nipple before he use his tongue. Once he lick the tip of the younger's nipple he heard an audible whine from the younger which is a good response and a sign that Jaemin likes.Well Jaemin loves it.He continue on giving service to Jaemin, sucking his chest until some parts turn to light red to blue-ish marks with light teeth marks. Of course the lewd sound of Jaemin made Minhyung hard. He was a teen nearly a sixteen years-old his hormones react to sexual activity quite rapidly.So after making Jaemin fall asleep after nibbling with his chest, he get off himself in the bathroom and took one more shower. He took of his necklace before going to shower and wears it back after. It was the swan pendant necklace he paired with Jaemin. It serves as their engagement ring. Something both of them cherish.A call then vibrated at the night table which he quickly picks up, avoiding waking up the younger who finally fell asleep. A call from someone."It is confirmed. We have retrived his personal files from the white room".So he was attempted to be publicly sell in the white room. Minhyung matter as the person on the other line continue it's report.The white room is the place where bidding slaves are stored and sorted what they will be, the regular or premium type, and then the finale special, it was the last step before they are showcase to the hundreds of member of Black Rose. Each other opposing organization have the same method, and secret private people have their own collector or retriever of slaves.Usually kidnapped kids, runaways, abandoned children and street beggars.If those who are in the frontline in this business found a kid or someone young, they will check it physical, if its beautiful or handsome even though the person have mental disorders, they will ship it to the white rooms.And if they aren't, they will be rather a beggar for syndicates or lowly prostitute in the red light district."I think the source does not know of your face, boss. Only your name is well known and feared. Maybe they didn't know that, that boy was your t-""I will visit back the main mansion tomorrow night, further report will be held personally. We cannot afford a phone third party" Minhyung then said and the spy of his agreed and immediately end the call.This made Minhyung sigh, looking up the sky through the window pane."Mother, what have you done. This was a wrong step" Minhyung said with another sigh and then turning his head to the little boy who is peacefully sleeping. Well at least one thing is not wrong in this situation.Minhyung knows that he is being used, used and will be disposed soon after Jaemin get's finally fertile. Mr. HyunMin, he was an overprotective father and the Na, they are manipulative and people who can survive even when solo.Minhyung was about to rebel yet how could he when he had fallen. He knew Jaemin didn't do anything, he was also an innocent instrument to rise the intergrity of the Na after HyunMin Na failed getting fertile.Nas nature tend to be alone. No one in Jaemin's family had a partner, they only have kids and throw their partners who helped them making the baby. That's how they were. The purify the ancestry, and the heirs as Na only.But Jaemin. Jaemin wanted a family with Minhyung. Jaemin kept on telling the older how he wish to have a big family since he view it as something so bliss after living in a cage in the mansion with only his father as a family.So Minhyung wanted to save Jaemin from this. And Minhyung also wanted to save his new found brother.⚜⚜⚜They failed finding the flower and Minhyung have to leave, Jaemin's was sad and a little depressed tonight since he lost his bracelet.Yet Minhyung promises that both will find it tomorrow together so Jaemin calmed a little bit.When Jaemin fell asleep he gave Jaemin a peck on his forehead while whispering:"I love you".He smile seeing Jaemin smile in his sleep as well after the kiss, Minhyung then pull the cover for Jaemin and then fix the bangs that is pointing at Jaemin's eyes, he tuck them on the back of younger's ear and close the lamp next to them which left with one lamp on the corner of the room being and the bright moon that meets Jaemin's window.Minhyung a person who cannot handle the dark but Jaemin was the strongest inside the shadows of darkness, they were perfect.Minhyung didn't know why it felt, heavy?His heart seems heavy, and his skin feels a little cold as he exit the Na mansion only Jaemin lives with his maids and guard."Take care Minhyunggie" Ayunnah then said, Jaemin's official first butler and guard. The girl is usually cold, and would only raise her brows to other people but he treat Minhyung fairly good since the girl knew Minhyung is harmless when it comes to his real master. Na Jaemin, yet dangerous to the people opposing the Na, so maybe that is why they were closed. (As a matter of factly Ayunnah is only twenty this time)Minhyung also help Ayunnah finding her two sisters.Nana and Luna."I'll comeback by tomorrow lunch, noona" Minhyung then said and take of with the ferarri as his driver arrived.The girl only smile at him and he wave goodbye finally entering the car. He quietly entered and adjusted where he wanted to seat because there was so many option. He opted to look over his phone as well since he was passing some important files to a computer.".... Sir, where are we going?" the driver said and Minhyung popped his head surprised. "What?"He realize that the driver had started driving since earlier and the road was rather unfamilliar and uncivilize. He saw no one, not even an infrastructure when he live in the city on the penthouse. Minhyung look up and saw the unfamlliar guy who continue on to ask him whilst driving.Minhyung immediately pulled a pistol under his seat, where the secret compartment is placed and immediately shoot the guy, bull's eye.Yet even before he can go closer to the driver's area, a white car started beaming bright white light up ahead, and terribly in such a fast speed heading over Minhyung's car direction.And that was the last thing he saw. Bright light.The cars collided since it wasn't only one but two more on both side follow after the first hit. Guns then showered the window of the ferarri."Good work Renjun" Mr. Huang then greeted gettingbout of a car who followed just watching the scene while Renjun get out of the white Porsche car."F-father...is he already d-dead?" Renjun panicked as their people started to raid the ambushed ferarri car."Why? I thought you want him dead after he rejected you" Mr. Huang have that mocking voice as he also chuckle yet Renjun was only focused on the raid, and his eyes widen when he finally saw a body being carried by his people."Sir! He is out!" One reported and Mr. Huang only nodded."W-what do we do now?!? What if the Na found out?!" Renjun then panicked more getting that report as his eyes still watch how Minhyung's body is being drag to one bag."This is when operation Mark starts" Mr. Huang said after huffing a handful of smoke from his cigar. Renjun gulps as he watch his father, his adoptive father being devilish.Operation Mark. The start.A young boy, thin and fairly have some muscle and lean inside his skin got harshly pushed inside Huang's office. His white shirt was all dirty and unclean and his shorts weren't the best either.Renjun stood behind his father shock to meet this boy for the first time."T-this...This is M-Minhyung?" Renjun panicked pointing at the clueless boy infront of them."I took you in for weeks, feed you and perhaps...clean you enough, You owe me now kid" Mr. Huang then said, cooly leaning at his table as Renjun still panics on who was infront of them.Mark. "This is Mark, Lee Minhyung's twin" Mr. Huang announced and Renjun only froze as he wasn't able to comprehend that. "G-Good sir"."Na-ah, Do not stutter. A Lee Minhyung is a strong-willed boy. A perfect kid, he doesn't stutter" Mr. Huang said clicking his tongue..Mark's innocent eyes only wonder his eyes on this big room, he had know nothing that much and maybe because of several overdose of drug use he even forgot how he got in this hell hole.Yet Mark was fed here, shown mercy by this people in a place where mercy is consider as miracle. He did owe this people, well that is how he was brainwashed as he was yet unknowledged about this rough world."Sir... What do you wish me to do" He answer rather trying to act tough. Well that is what the guard say, the things that he should say."Yes, that's more I like it. Amazing yoi are just like a whole DNA copy of Lee Minhyung, the voice and everything I don't see no difference"."umm.. Good sir... What exactly do you want me to do?"Mark asked confuse, lost of course." I want you to be Lee Minhyung and assassinate Na Jaemin and Na HyumMin".⚜⚜⚜Car echoing as it sets fire to the ground on how fast it is. Mark can hear it all. The screeching of the wheels in the rough cememted floor were rather loud. And also the engine rings in their ear.They are now being followed by the troupes of Na HyunMin. And of course there is no longer escape, he will now do his job as per gratitude for the Huang since they took him in."Ayunnah, she is one strong woman. And the person who will retrieve you, he is the strongest defense and attack the Na have, she definitely be the one who will get you""Na's are ruthless people, when someone hurt them in a certain way, they will hurt that person five more times worst. They are manipulative and murderers--- well except to one"."That one person is Lee Minhyung' fiance a male, the weakest Na"."A boy?" Mark asked, as he find that sort of stuff weird since he is only new to this world. "Yes, and you will kill him first to completely eliminate HyunMin Na, start with the easiest target"."Wear this necklace, it's their couple stuff, where it to make it more legit that you are Lee Minhyung"."But what does Lee Minhyung like, being a person or a student?" Mark asked, and now Huang is noticing a Lee blood from Mark, from this many question it is a Lee thing to reassure they are doing the rigjt thing, and it is much as possible that's its should be perfect all."Smart, and loyal, he is also strong in pistol, you've train violin and guns right?" Mr. Huang then asked and Maek only nodded. "Those are essential because it is Lee Minhyung specialty"."and he is the human shield of the heir of the Na's".that is what Mr. Huang said to Mark as the old man teaches Mark the people he will encounter today. These people seems scary on how Mr. Huang describe them and they really sound like powerful people."Those are hecking ugly people" Renjun mutteredly bitterly yet Mark caught that, "How could you say?" Mark asked.And Renjun only sigh, " Of course their bad people, and Mafia isn't about attractiveness it's about money. I'm just saying I'm a little more prettier than the heir of the Na" Renjun then said."What does he looks like?" Mark asked."Woah, seems like you're agreeing too fast on actually making lovers with a man" Renjun clicked his tongue, "That is what Mr. Huang said, I'm just following orders" Mark then replied and Renjun shrugs, "Well, we'll know what you are"."...but for real, what does that...Na.. Looks like" Mark asked curiously. "Disgusting" Renjun answered and seem bitter quite again about this topic and walk away.Mark stood there inside the truck where they scheme on faking the kidnapping transaction from an anonymous kidnappers. Alone in this truck, dark, just standing being held by one guard of this truck. A sacrificial lamb which that guy didn't even know he was meant to die. Mark didn't move as there is no point moving around inside the dark.Also the car was moving so he will only fail walking straightly.Yet his heart indeed was beating so fast. For whole two weeks, he was thought to do piano, to memorize books and stuff. To be a certified Lee Minhyung. They say it was his brother, yet Mark was confused how come his brother got here, why was he rich while Mark is in the lowest part of the wheel.He was afraid about all this, yet he have such heavy gratitude towards the Huang for saving him from being sexually harassed and out of starvation.He doesn't know if he can be the best copy of Lee Minhyung as he try to act as if, Mr. Huang even let him watch some secretly taken video of Minhyung mannerism when he is in HQ and in their pharmaceutical company.Just a few moments more, they felt a bump and the truck moving a bit throwing Mark to the other side."Shoot an ambush!" the guard who was with him groaned not expecting this.It was all starting now, he is now someone else and he is trying to process now. He wasn't Mark anymore since that name was only named to him in the white room where he came from.He is now Lee Minhyung.The ride then became bumpy, and it stop as it seems like it hit something hard. The screeching of the car was audible and it was surrounding him.And in just nanosecond the door of the back of the truck open, striking a bright ligjt making Mark shut his eyes and rub it to only feel how someone fell down on his side. He opened his eyes and met the guard's corpse laying, having a bull's eye on his forehead.This shaken Minhyung, in the darkness, how could he shoot in the dark that perfectly.He was expecting a girl holding a gun with a fierce face, but rather he saw a boy who seem younger than him, holding a gun.A boy. Na Jaemin?⚜⚜⚜"No, you're not Minhyung".

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
𝓝𝓸𝔀 𝓟𝓵𝓪𝔂𝓲𝓷𝓰┌── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──┐𝓕𝓾𝓻 𝓔𝓵𝓲𝓼𝓮└── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──┘0:00 ───|────── 0:00"p-please don't leave me here mom!""mom!"Minhyung cried as he was in the middle of the darkness. His fear. As he always distinguished unlikely figure inside the darkness because of the trauma.What even did this ten years old kid did to deserve a punish where all the horrors in his head is intentionally provoked to threatened and scare him. How come he deserve to be closed in this dark place for how many hours and even days?He was left here every time he failed to be "perfect". One single failed note and his mother will drag him here to do it in the darkness. He can't even figure if his violin is thrown near him.He was just a crying mess while he is on his knees and palm crying in this dark room. It was as if his eyes were closed."Mother! P-please"He cried more, disclose in this darkness void he was lacking protection when he feel like he needed it the most, as he was scared to death. His hands were trembling as it pats the cold floor to blindly find his violin."Play that in tune or stay there Lee Minhyung you choose".He had practice this song for days, in the point that the tip of his fingers are already bruised up from practice, so how could he not satisfy his mother with his performance and brought to his fear consequence; being stuck in this dark room.A room with no lights or anything. Specially made for him to be disciplined.Finally, he found the pair of his violin, yet his fear over-power his strenght to play the violin. He will mess up with his trembling hands. And his mother will put him here longer.He hates it, he wanna stop trembling yet flashback of the horrifying things that had happen to him in the darkness was inevitable. Specially that dark night, when it was pouring rain outside. His own father attempted to murder him as he was the unwanted child.It was dark yet as the thunder came, a quick light flash and he saw what had been making his sleep uncomfortable.He saw how that man hovered over his young self and raise the bread knife aiming for his chest. He was so scared that after this darkness, reveals people who wanted to kill him. So many people wanted to end his life and he grew up being aware of it, since he is always being assasinated at night.He survive the blade yet the scar that left inside Minhyung's brain was still fresh. It was killing him inside instead. A younfg boy would never understand why people come after his life.He will just cry, and will just shiver till their death."Mother please" he called, whilst crying.No reply was heard as his mother probbably left him, as if he wasn't a worthy child. Then why was he even born? Why?When he was about to call for help, he paused as a music of the piano rang in his ears. A known melody.Fur Elise. A sign of Love born in tragic and pain."Nana"Minhyung whispered, he knows its Jaemin as it was Jaemin's favorite song. The boy grew to know that their love wasn't pure like how other pieces symbolize love as joy. They were forced to love each other in this dark world, so it is Love born in tragic. It was meaningful for the both of them.The tune of the piano playing the music were rather delivered heavily, he might be pushing the keys to roughly. Waiting for Minhyung's answer.Minhyung slowly start to stand up with his shaky legs, pull his violin up and close his eyes, even though he would still see the same darkness, he just immersed himself to Jaemin's music. He stood up straight, trying, while tracking where Jaemin was in the music, he slowly put his chin on the chinrest, bring up the stick and brush it's hair slowly to the strings. And he played.⚜⚜⚜Minhyung; Mark slowly open his eyes and saw the white ceiling. A white ceiling more on trigger his fears yet he felt like he was more in danger.He pull up from where he was laying down, immediately sitting up, as he realize that he was on a bed.A circular and huge, white bed.He look up after observing where he was and saw a small boy, no, maybe just a little smaller than him. The boy turn around and Mark flinch meeting eyes with this kid. His eyes, were so dark as if no reflection of light had hit its glassy orbs."Oh, you're finally awake Min hyung" The boy cheered, only with his voice while his action was still calm. He seem to be quite demure of himself. He was wearing a white pants and a hint of pink dress shirt, all button up. A boy who came from golds and leisure. Even his skin was smooth white, it was noticeable with his clothes his lightness pops out.The boy's eyes were stern and siren, he wasn't that gloomy. He just came out intimidating for Mark.Mark didn't speak, he don't know what words are right. His mission. Was to be Lee Minhyung and kill HyunMin Na and its son. And Mark theorize that this boy infront of him was the son.'I thought he look...disguting?'Mark had his thought for himself, yet he notice the boy was approaching. So he became aware crawling backwards, having no idea what does a Lee Minhyung should do."Are you fine Min hyung? Do you find it hard to speak?" The boy asked and Mark panicked as the boy is now inches away from him.Mark still refuses to speak yet he answered by shaking his head. The boy tilt his head a little while looking straightly to Mark."Is it true? Have you lost your memories, that's what the doctor said earlier" Jaemin said furrowing his brows, it was a great deal for Mark and this is really what they are planning to board in the Na's house, safely without Mark being suspicious of his unkindly behaviour that could be dislike to Lee Minhyung.With him pretending to be Lee Minhyung who had lost his memories. He tries to hold it as his very principile, he need to be somebody else and he should never show himself; that is what Mr. Huang instructed him to think.So Mark nodded and play along yet the boy's action made Mark froze as this boy who was just infront of him is now hugging him, clinging on his neck. He wasn't fond on this kind of skinship, he kind of despise it after encountering people in the white room, they touch him for the same intention, could that be this boy is the same as those filthy people."My poor Min hyung" Jaemin purr whilst hugging Mark, brushing his forehead on Mark's neck as if he was a cat. "Have you also forgotten about me" The boy sang."I'm sorry"That was Mark's answer, yet the boy pull out his head from laying, as their head are now only a few inches apart.Mark's eyes got lock with those round eyes, while the boy smile."I'm Na Jaemin, Hyung, but you always call me Nana as an endearment" Jaemin introduces himself with a bright smile. Mark only froze, they were too close from each other! His mind was panicking."I-I...I..." he can't even find a word to answer, and then Jaemin let go of him ending the embrace. "Hyung, you'll get better soon don't worry" Jaemin rather smile. And Mark...felt like something was off, but also something so warm."Look hyung! I found my bracelet, we matched! You are wearing a swan pendant necklace while mine is a bracelet. We are... Special to each other that's why we match" Jaemin showed, his undeniable flawless wrist surrounded by the thin golden chains and the swan Jaemin is pointing.Jaemin then look up to Mark and when they met eyes, Jaemin smile and lean and kiss Mark on the cheeks."Hyung.. Do you think you can still recover...your past memories? I will pray for it to recover fast" Jaemin asked and as if the time froze Mark couldn't even speak infront of the Na Jaemin, how could he kill this angel, and innocent looking creature.Jaemin was far from Renjun's description, he was jumpy, clingy, and always smile a lot. He has divine smooth skin, his face was attractive in a way that many people can be hooked.How can he be dangerous, when he wad this beautiful and frail.Jaemin was cheerful as he hold his hand touring Mark in the big white mansion to help him somehow "recover" from his memory lost, he was all smile while informing every maid of the mansion about Mark or Minhyung's condition of having memory lost that is why he is conflicted.Mark was shooked, flabbergasted, with the serving of meal when only two kids will eat. And the Na son even told him that he had cooked half of it and personally sliced the watermelon.And Mark didn't know such delicious fruit existed until now, even almost ate the whole watermelon itself as he can't control it.Mark figure out the house, and he is still secretly being tutored by either Renjun and Mr. Huang about the Na and Lee Minhyung's relationship. Maybe how the Huang interpreted the Lee Minhyung.Mark practiced the violin song Minhyung usually perform in gatherings. Minhyung's small manners and way of speaking, Minhyung's skills in shooting yet that is what Mark struggled the most.He wasn't that great as Huang could tell, he had watch how Lee Minhyung shoot seamlessly fifteen people in total of seven second.Mark, was slowly copying Lee Minhyung until he became the Lee Minhyung himself. Yes, he have thoughts about it, as Lee Minhyung was literally his brother but he was less thinking of how things had happened, he wanted revenge first, he understood quite enough that they are at fault of his suffering, something he doesn't deserve.And Mr. Huang advices him that by killing the Na he will succeed that revenge as they were the people who destroyed their family. That was the idea imprinted on Mark's head."One wrong move, Jaemin may spare you but HyunMin will never think twice on shooting you with his gun"A friendly reminder of Mr. Huang, "it has already been a week, there is no strange movement of Mr. Na, seems like he is doing just fine father, you should not hurry the process or else it'll fail".They were in the office, Mr. Huang, Renjun, and Mark.It has been really a week, and if Mark was asked what was the most memorable part of that one week.It was one night,specifically a sunday night, Jaemin asked his Minhyung hyung if he could sleep next to him. Since Mark was given a seperate room, inside this white mansion as if him and Jaemin were already living together, Even his so called mother haven't visited this place yet. No one. For the whole week. Maybe they are secluding Minhyung (Mark) (the author started becoming confuse)On the side note, yes, Mark wanted to see his mother. If Minhyung was his real twin brother then he is so close on meeting his real mother. He had so many question to asked. Like, why did he get thrown away? Why was he a slave of syndicates the moment he open his eyes to the world.Back to the story of that night, as expected it wasn't just any normal night. Mark was informed about that, in this young age of him being fifteen and Jaemin being fourteen. Lee Minhyung and Na Jaemin had already shared each other's body. Bonded. And committed.He hadn't dominate any kiss. In the white room he wasn't kissed, he was only touched inappropriately. He saw how it was done, but he wasn't confident on doing it; without even knowing he'll be an expert to it in a couple of years.Jaemin lay down above Mark, making him a human cushion, he let him be as Jaemin wasn't that heavy and the boy was warm. Jaemin was rubbing his cheeks near Mark's collarbones and the next thing that happened is Jaemin leaning down to meet Mark's lips. Mark imagine how he saw it when he was in the white room. How they tilt their heads and move their lips, there might be also tongue included.So the supposed innocent small peck of Jaemin became one steamy make out session with Mark pushing Jaemin's head to kiss him more deeper, he didn't know kissing could feel this good.And he wasn't surprise when Jaemin is also wasn't so sloppy in his movement, he had been kissing Minhyung, Mark could bet. The kiss got longer, deeper, with tongues that slide and slipping in trying to explore each other's mouth while being aroused..Mark was rather astonished with Jaemin's waist, it was so small when his hips were wide and creates a sensual curve. It was so satisfying to be filled with his hand.Mark didn't even realize they elevated on touching each other's torso while their clothes are still on. And they end their kissing session when Mark realize what he was suppose to be doing, he is now kissing the person he will kill any day soon. They don't intend to prolong this and they must act quick before Mark could be suspicious, while their is more chance they must cheat their way and end this. Mark was already given a loaded gun on his bed drawer.Mark hovered Jaemin, and as Mark peaked over whilst kissing again,he saw Jaemin's eyes were shut close, devouring the feeling of pleasure of their kisses and how Mark's rough hands brush over his skin. Mark quickly sneak his hands out of Jaemin, and swiftly opening tge drawer, as silent as possible, picking the gun slowly lifting it"You can kill the Na Jaemin first, and enrage HyunMin Na. Hyunmin will lose his mind when his only precious kid die and that makes him have an opening and be easily killed"Those were the words Mr. Huang told him. While yet Jaemin pulled him more while the younger wrap his arms around Mark's neck, this made the hand that was carrying the gun froze as Mark got distracted of how much Jaemin was a good kisser.A few while, Jaemin bit Mark's lower lip and cut their kissing session, both pause and Mark took that as his chance, if he shoot Jaemin in the head right now, bull's eye, guaranteed the kid under him will die this instance. He will just escape, since the pistol had a silencer attached to it.Yet what was stopping him? It was Jaemin's stare, as the boy only focus on looking at Mark's eyes as if the boy had fallen into the deep pit of love."I love you, hyung".That was the last string, Mark didn't realize he had let go of the gun and was now only invested to Jaemin. How could a boy this age be so alluring, and seductive. Was this even allowed.Mark shrug it off, pushing the drawer where the gun was and saving Jaemin more nights, as he also immerse himself in kissing Jaemin.Mr. Huang didn't specify any date of deadline he only said if Mark get a good chance.Maybe he could lie a little, maybe he should enjoy his brother's life for a few hours.Thats what he did, he continue kissing Jaemin as their position switch with Jaemin now sitting on his lap, now the one hovering him again. He finally get access on touching Jaemin's chest as he slowly squished it whilst playing his tongue inside Jaemin's mouth.Jaemin then lift his head, so now Mark was sucking on his flawless neck, nibbling and trying to give some small bites on it.Jaemin was near Mark's ears as he can feel Jaemin's hot breath tingling his sensitive ears, and also Jaemin lewd breathing seem to be amplified."Hyung" Jaemin whimper when Mark rough palm brushes on his nipples. "Mark hyung".Mark paused... What did Jaemin said."what did you say?" Mark heart then started to race in danger. Was he caught?! But how he was doing and copying Minhyung so convincingly!"...I'm..I'm not..that...I'm Minhyung, Nana"."No, You're not Minhyung" as if Jaemin toned change, he usually have a dweet and uplift voice, so how could it sound threatening and deep like this. Jaemin lift his body up straddling Mark, withour Mark realizing Jaemin's hands are actually wrap around his neck.There it was those dark eyes Jaemin have, it wad like lazing fire on Mark when it stares at him. He was caught."You have guts pretending to be someone you are not in this kind of place" Jaemin threatened, slowly, teasingly which made Mark terrified overthinking over what will be Jaemin's next step. Well it was Jaemin getting his gun inside his drawer and him being pointed at by the gun he was suppose to use to Jaemin, it just got reverse."Please...don't kill"."wow begging after getting caught, your too easy how did you becane a spy""I-I'm sorry...""So you are Mark" Jaemin spoke and Mark just nodded, now being submissive to the person above him because he had no choice left, even if he lies it seems no use Jaemin know who he was, he wasn't Lee Minhyung, he was Mark. He failed his mission that quick, this was the end of his life, and he will never get his wished revenge."Please don't kill me Nana" Mark plead, as the mouth of the gun, where the bullets get out is now flat land on his forehead, in one click, he was dead. Look how the event had turn. "I-I was just told to be the one replacing M-Minhyung because they say we-we look alike"."I'll spare you".Mark froze"Since you indeed bare the face of the person I love" Jaemin whisper and caresses Mark's left cheek."Let's make a deal. I will keep your secret to prevent you dying. In exchange, you should love me like how Minhyung does".Mark has no choice, he was cornered and given only one choice. He was powerless to a Na Jaemin, so he was left answering with a nod.Jaemin was quick to get that, it was enough to seal the deal. He let go of Mark, and get out of the bed leaving the poor boy in his room. Yet when Jaemin was about to live Mark's one question was needed to be asked and answered."How did you know, I wasn't him".Jaemin turn to the boy, who he saw someone that he barely know, but have the same face as the person he cherished the most. " first, Minhyungs habits, even though a person lost his memories their habits and mannerism are still intact. Only the scenario of their past are usually erased. He always take off the necklace when sleeping because he gets itchy and light rashes on his neck with the necklace even though it was pure gold, he doesn't stand straight, he is lay back in the house, in shooting the first thing he aims is the heart before the the head. So the circulation of blood will get cut so the person can still feel the pain before he shoot the head"."second, He consume up to four cubes of watermelon by manner. He doesn't count it by memory, and third he hate all the song he performed, and he never look at the crowd. Third, it was obvious the day we caught you, you were secluded in a dark place, Minhyung already have a fair experience of memory lost that is kept secret. It was his past that he rejects to remember but keeps coming out when he is surrounded by the darkness, he either scream and cry, or get paralyzed and have concussions. Final, no doctor had checked you up confirming your memory lost but you went along with the ride, as if having memory lost is your favor".Mark froze. Jaemin indeed knew every detail of Lee Minhyung every flinch every glances, that's why he get caught. He thought this marriage was forced, something non-consensual. How come this boy know every single detail of one man in such a young age he had grew to be a stalker?! Or was Jaemin just so inlove that he wanted to know everything about Lee Minhyung."If you're trying to be him but act like that, you will only fail. Come to the Music club library once you enrolled for 10th grade, I'll teach you how to be Lee Minhyung". And in exchange you'll be faithful to serve me like how you did to the Huang.A weak person is nothing but a mere tool in their society, and Mark had became one of it. A supposed disposable tool.Mark had known of that. He was conflicted if he should tell it to Mr. Huang that he was caught. He was nervous that Mr. Huang might kill him here instead if he do that. He was scared."Are you listening Mark?" Renjun called, and Mark flinched. He just notice Mr. Huang had left. And had already given him a deadline. It was in four months, at Minhyung and Jaemin planned open engagement anniversary. It was because Mr. Huang is still gathering proof of HyunMin unsuccesful birth. Mr. Huang need a little time.Mr. Huang need to find first who is Jaemin's biological mother. Since HyunMin failed to gave birth himself which is a huge disgrace to the Na bloodline. It was a big thing for him to ascend as the leader of Black rose soon.So Mark figure, he had only a few months left to live.He was giving in. He believed he will be killed any day soon and as if he was finding for something more, he had no goal but to get revenge to the people who inflicted him pain since he was young, he was now a bit useless anyway as Jaemin already knew of his true identity. Even though Jaemin act sweet to him. Even though they finally got to sleep together. He know Jaemin will also throw him away.They were all using him, and it was tiring Mark. Jaemin was over-powering than Mr. Huang, yet people fear Mark more for believing he was the ruthless Lee Minhyung.He was just counting his days, he doesn't care anymore. He just wanted to die instead of being used like this.He was, not until he met someone."Wait! I baked you cookies!" One boy ran over to Mark and even bumping on him. A boy with such pretty melanin skin. His eyes glistened, with a bright smile he gave Mark a cute bag whicg contains cookies in it.Mark froze, "Who are you?""What?! You have forgotten about me! I am the kid who got stuck with you in the medicine fridge-thingy!" the boy exaggerated his expression and hands gesture. But Mark finds it adorable.The boy only look at him and then sigh, realizing Mark still doesn't get it. "Haechan, Donghyuck whatever! Remember it now?!"Mark only chuckles, "Maybe" he actually don't but, how adorable to tease this boy. "Mr. Lee we should get going"."Oh, you could wait for me in the car" Mark said, he decided to have a longer conversation with this interesting kid, "Oh yeah, should I call you Minhyung hyung too...what Min..hyung..hyung?..."Mark again giggle, "Yah, you sound so happy while I struggle" Haechan deadpanned."No, no it's honestly cute, but you can call me Mark instead"."Oh...okay...Mark"."Nice to see you again, Donghyuck".⚜⚜⚜"Why did you even agree to be Minhyung in the first place?" Jaemin asked with a shaky Mark, they were practicing to shoot gun since Mr. HyunMin will arrive and have some shooting bonding in the house. It was crucial for Mark to not get obvious so Jaemin was helping him.He was keeping his word, helping Mark how to be Lee Minhyung. He started to dress differently, he followed every detail of what Jaemin say. Even the manner in the dinning table.Mark was a perfectionist, it was something positive about him in the way that he try to perfect himself to be somebody else. It was like Jaemin was building a new Lee Minhyung out of Mark."For Revenge" Jaemin followed his question. "If you wanted revenge you should be stronger"."Why are you even helping me" Mark groans, his arms arms feel so sore after shooting the bullets, it somehow vibrates on his hands and hurts. "When you will throw me away soon enough and stop my goal"."No, I won't stop you" Jaemin then answered that somehow made Mark whipped his head up, and look up to the standing boy. "... Then why, are u having fun just holding the line of one person's life"."kinda, it makes me feel powerful" Jaemin answered, it was what Mark expected. "But yeah, I will let you do your revenge, I'll even help you"."If you kill them, then I will have freedom. That was mine and Minhyung's plan, we wanted to runaway and live peacefully instead. But you came and replace his place without permission".Mark only look down, he know he had ruined Jaemin life. Though it was already done."You? Mark hyung" Jaemin also crouch down to level his head with Mark, " Do you wanna runaway with me after your revenge?"."Well if I'm still alive till then" Mark answered with hus dark humor, Jaemin only smile. "Don't worry, I might be this decesive, but I'm loyal as long as you are" Jaemin said smirking, and then standing up loading his gun and getting his bull's eye.Loyalty.
[continuation of TMCS 1 chapter 50 (final scene)]
"Welcome home, love".Mark paused, as he saw the scene uncover infront of him those naked body laying on the floor. They weren't even budging when they are getting carried, it was as if they were now lifeless.Camera stands are being assembled back, and maids cleaning the area leaving only two person on the bed. Jaemin with his cigarette while Haechan had passed out laying on Jaemin's thigh, cover with blue and purple-ish marks.Mark heart was crushing apart seeing Haechan in his current state seeing other naked men exiting this room. What have you done! What have you done!Mark was angry, enraged, yet frozen in his spot as he cannot and he don't want to process everything that had happen here. He refuses yet the though and imagination of negative thinking flush over his head, that tears started to hover his eyes as it slowly turn glassy watching Jaemin slowly getting up from the bed, as Ayunnah gave him his night robe and slowly approach Mark. His eyes goes to Jaemin, and Haechan vice versa. He was so worried of Haechan, and he was so angry at Jaemin.Jaemin stand just inches away from him, smiling smugly, tilting his head to the side wuth his sarcastic gaze. "You seem speechless my love?""what did you do him! How dare YOU DO THIS TO HIM!"Even with that echoing shout, Jaemin didn't even flinch, he was still stern.He walked and approach Mark slowly leaning closer to Mark's ear. "Don't you know who I am?"."You should have killed me when you had your chance".Jaemin left with those as his final words, Mark ran to the bed to get Haechan but he was rather stop by Ayunnah. He was ready to throw hands yet, he was unarmed while Ayunnah do, and the rest of the maid inside this room have their own pistol. The other maid took Haechan away leaving Mark in despair.
⚜⚜⚜
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
⚜⚜⚜"Jeno are you ready?" Haechan was about to open the knob of Jeno's room but the other seems to be too excited he opened it as soon as he heard Haechan already done preparing.Haechan notice how jumpy and excited Jeno was, disregarding the fact even though they will comeback to Seoul, there is still a small possibility they could reach Jaemin. As the man's schedules are filled and unknown according to Chenle.Chenle was the one who helped them finally settling down in Seoul once again, with a condo waiting for them already as Chenle also agree."I think he needs Jeno" Chenle said before seeing on his latte, Haechan's brows furrowed in confusion."Why"."Jaemin is undergoing memory recovery after the car accident, he probbably don't remember half of his life. He only remember the past where you and Jeno aren't even involve yet. If he was crazy then, he is crazier today he is filled with hatred because he only remember the past, somehow he got tamed when Jeno started to exist around, that's why he got guts saving you back then against his father" Chenle explained and Haechan only listen.Haechan had good feelings toward Jaemin nowadays, the hard feelings of bitterness about their quarrel of the failed poly relationship had far been dissolved, it wasn't supposed to be a big deal. Or maybe both of them had finally matured after what happened.Finally learned from their mistakes.Also Jaemin had saved Haechan several times, he cared for the male as he is inform of some of his hardship as a Na."How could Jeno help him, in what way?" Haechan asked and Chenle shrugged, " I don't know too, but back then when Jeno is still with us,he look more light and happier so I'd come to those conclusion" Chenle said. "Jaemin, getting back to his real sanity could refrain himself acting reckless, his life at risk because many are after it"."The situation isn't good this days, maybe because he got older, we focused on our goal that's why we turn to stranger all of a sudden" Chenle said, laughing in disbelief and Haechan know who the chinese was pertaining; prolly the other chinese boy he used to be bestfriend with."He will destroy Jaemin. And I know that if he get the information of Jeno's whereabouts, he will find him and use him out of his father's order" Chenle said clicking his tongue out of the building anger inside of him. "Don't worry Jeno is only easily persuade if Jaemin will be the one to talk, since Jaemin is special to Jeno"."then you're special too, for making Jeno agree on going to Seoul, he see you as someone special"."No it's impossible"."Haechannie" Jeno was all bright, it was obvious that he is looking forward about it.How can Haechan have a space in Jeno's heart as someone special when that place is already filled with a certain man?If he believe in Chenle's word, he will only get his hopes up.Haechan didn't inform Jeno about Chenle helping them. Jeno wouldn't agree to that, since Jeno is quite sensitive about the club member considering also Jeno was close to Chenle specifically; their relationship before are better left unmention."Have you packed up the last bag?" Haechan raised both of his brows with a bright smile. He won't spoil on or ruin Jeno's happiness, when he wanted to heal Jeno stayed, when Haechan was healing himself Jeno was there so he never felt left out, he never felt that no one actually likes him, or nobody wants him, Jeno was with him in his hardest times. So it is mandatory for him to stay with Jeno this time, accompany him until he could finally cope, if meeting Jaemin is a healing for Jeno, then he will support Jeno for it.Jeno even help Haechan with his things, their stuff are being moved by a moving truck already and the one that is left is some of their clothes. They will ride Jeno's motorbike and they are only bringing two backpacks so fair enough. In all honesty Haechan haven't ride Jeno's bike before. This will be his first time...So when he rode behind Jeno, he realized he need to hold onto Jeno that made him anxious, "I'll help you with your helmet, Haechannie" Jeno said putting his extra helmet on Haechan's head. Haechan froze as Jeno assist him and as always Jeno smell so sweet, and familliar.Why does he smell like peaches? Like how Mark's car--Haechan, don't remind yourself that again!He scold himself immediately and focus as Jeno ride too, Haechan's finger pulls away, hesitant on holding on to Jeno but at the same time scared that he might fall off if he don't.Though his cheeks rushes pink pigments when Jeno reach for his hands and place it on his waist. "Hold on, this is not a car, theres no seatbelt, you might fall"."O-okay, I-I know that" Haechan shyly said covering his face behind Jeno's back and looking away instead. The whole drive, he unconsciously travel his hands to Jeno's waist until he realize that his arms are already wrapped around Jeno's waist and both of his hands had met infront already tangled together. It was like he is embracing Jeno.Well Jeno was his bestfriend so this can be acceptable right? Then why do Haechan feel something tingles inside of him. The whole time his heart was beating so hard, he hope Jeno didn't feel that.Those thoughts made him look over some incidents of both of them kissing so he unintentionally grip Jeno, "Are you nervous Haech? You won't fall you're holding onto me, don't worry".But I feel like I am going to fall if I continue holding and embracing you.They arrive to the address Haechan instructed to Jeno, and Jeno was quite skeptical since the area is surrounded with high expensive looking buildings."Are you sure we are coming to the right place? Rent here must be expensive" Jeno even muttered while riding between the street of Seoul. Seoul, so many wonders, many expect that this is the home of the riches and gold, yet indeed some corners of this city contain undistinguished "land intruders" or depressed areas.Jeno stood there infront of the high building, "H-Haechan how come we can afford here?? You said it's your f-friend's?""Just come and trust me, he give it to us cheap no worries" Haechan lied, this was actually free for them to use though Chenle still own this as his property, he just have many spare condo to provide his friends. "Did you bargain too much?! Thats abuse!""No~ don't worry he suggested the price because he saw I was desperate" Haechan giggled as he pull Jeno to the elevator. Haechan then gave Jeno a duplicate card key for their unit and their stuff had finally settled no work to do, just arrange their own personal rooms.Jeno was still hesitant, he wasn't sure this was right...Though slowly he ease down when they got in. Back in Seoul.Jeno peak down the busy street as he wondet the possibility of his dreams. Would he really be able to get Jaemin, or see him again? Because he wish to those million of stars that he would."Jeno, wanna have dinner out?" Haechan asked popping inside his room since the door was already open, Jeno wanted to heal for Haechan to not be troubled anymore; his best friend had risk his own heart going back here, he was so lucky to have Haechan.Maybe that's how Haechan felt when he was also going to Seoul to meet his love; different circumstances but the feelings and situation are the same.Jeno agreed to eat out, even have a few drink. Nostalgia started to get in, them legally getting their soju order while eating at the lake side, with some fresh grilled clams. Jeno look up to Haechan who continue to enjoy his alcohol just like before when they were still a minor for drinking."Why are you staring at me" Haechan snorted noticing how Jeno started staring at him when he drunk his third cup.Jeno rather shook his head. "Nothing I just remember we... I mean, you also drink in our first day in Seoul" Jeno said smiling, yet the smile fade when Haechan's reaction was different from what he expected. "Well.. At least now I'm drinking to celebrate" because then, I was drinking to hide my suffering."Thank you for sticking with me Haech" Jeno then said comforting the other male unconsciously put his hand above Haechab's resting hand on top of the table. Haechan rather notice that, blushed and pulled it away."Y-you did the same before, even though I was so stupid then. I-I'm just doing this because...I think this can make you..go back to your happy self" Haechan said averting his eyes away and Jeno only show Haechan a warm smile. "Thank you, so so much".They cheer the soju and drink, maybe because Haechan was already used drinking alcohol since he was fifteen, he can hold his tolerance long than Jeno. He was the on bringing a drunk Jeno, a drunk Jeno is adorable.All red even the tip of, and so quiet while staring at nowhere. Haechan have to drag him to the taxi he hailed.Inside the taxi, Jeno started to hum along the radio playing soft music. And what startle Haechan's heart is when Jeno put his head to Haechan's shoulder and suit himself there. Sleeping while laying on Haechan's shoulder.Haechan just froze in his position and his heartbeat was all over the place. Was he nervous, was he getting conscious.But why?He lay down Jeno to the boy's bed but only stumble on top of the other which made Jeno giggle wrapping Haechan with his arms, "Thank you Haechannie"Jeno said that with a drunken deep voice and a chuckle, making Haechan extremely blushing trying to pull his body from Jeno...because they were in such weird position."Jen, I'm heavy~""No~~~ you're extremely huggable" Jeno then said with a big grin, "Aish, you are drunk, saying nonesense" Haechan sigh. Convincing himself to never take what Jeno is saying now as something real."But you are~~, That's why I liked you before".Before.Haechan paused and look at Jeno, his smile while pushing his hopes down finally crush down. Jeno had liked him before, he knew, but he didn't took attention of it because he had Mark.Though now he realized what he lose from the start.Before.And not now, because he was replaced by Jaemin. Jaemin again.Haechan finally pushed himself away from Jeno and fixing his messy shirt. He tuck Jeno under the cover before he leave him. Closing the door after making sure Jeno finally fallen asleep.Haechab got out of Jeno's room and almost jump seeing Chenle, "I don't look like a ghost bro".Haechan's hand land on his chest, who wouldn't be surprise, Chenle was just standing there quiet as if intending to surprise him."Jeno is such a baby" Chenle clicked his tongue as they made through the l8ving room, and Haechan fetching some tea for Chenle. "Heis just not in his best shape" Haechan said with a sigh."I'm still not sure of the plan of meeting Jaemin, it might break him more" Haechan said, with much concern as he sat down on the sofa infront of Chenle.Whilst also giving the cup tea."We never know, I already arrange yours and Jeno's transfer, without Mark noticing it of course. Jaemin don't remember the both of you so seeing your name, he won't make a fuss" Chenle said, before taking a sip. "If you are that worried we can prepare Jeno".Haechab frown in that suggestion, " I have a birthday party tomorrow, you two should come" Chenle said, yet with a knowing smirk."Did you get Jeno back here to get in his pants" Haechan frowned, nonetheless Chenle rose his brows. " why between the two of us, I have a valid sexual relatiosnhip with Jeno".Haechan paused. Chenle saw the guy's reaction and laugh, "You act like you like Jeno".Chenle said those words and realize he caught the bull's eye. "Fuck you like him?!"."W-what are you saying...n-no of course not"Haechan quickly denied but Chenle already got his answers by how Haechan act and stutter, he was obvious. "Well you're fucked up" Chenle said, again crushing in Haechan's heart."you again like a person who is inlove with Jaemin"Their conversation about Haechan's feeling didn't go long as Haechan changed it quickly which Chenle already accept, he don't intend to bully Haechan too much for tonight, maybe he can continue tomorrow. They started to talk about what they have to do, and some restriction like making sure Mark will never know Haechan and Jeno is here, never let Jeno be around Renjun.And never reveal that Chenle helped them.Chenle explained it all to Haechan, seemingly Haechab could understood of the situation after dating Mark for two years, in that past, day by day Haechan realize how Mark's world revolve.A inside war, in the organization they are in and now that they are adult and already a capable heir. The competition to win the greatest power is inevitable."I'm so tired of trying to act strong" Chenle sigh, rubbing the bridge of his nose, just then Haechan realize. "Wait...you're engage?" Haechan asked surprised.Thinking it was Jisung, "Yeah, like I said, this is like a race of building the highest empire. I hate it, but I have no choice".⚜⚜⚜"are you going to Chenle's birthday party tomorrow?" Jaemin asked, in his vanity doing his skin care routine. Mark just came in their room putting his coat down to one of the sofa. Turning his head to Jaemin and see how fair his husband is.Mark then walk and approach Jaemin, and the younger felt his presence so he turn around and only meet Mark's lips locking to him. Yet the bitter taste of alcohol made Jaemin push Mark away."You drank again!" Jaemin argued, as Mark had been so alcoholic. Since the day he woke up to the said coma. He never remember Mark having problem with his continuous drinking habit in the memories he recollected so far though how come he had been constantly drowning himself with vodka and beer."though I kiss you too even though your lips were bitter before" Mark said, with a pout in his drunken state. Jaemin frown, "But I don't drink"."Do you really love me" Mark asked and Jaemin look at Mark, the older stand there, waiting for the answer. Desperately."You should lay down on the bed now hyung" Jaemin rather refuse to answer. He lay down Mark, who is now randomly sobbing."I'm sorry hyuck".Jaemin look down this miserable man, he is saying that name again. Having his delusional thoughts."Hyung please stop drinking, it's bad for you" Jaemin concerningly said. A marriage with no feelings attached. That's what they agreed.Only bonding together as their revenge serve the same purpose and method.But how could Jaemin just let Mark axt like this, as if he was broken hearted. As if he feel so miserable.Why do you feel so sad?Mark then reach out for Jaemin's hand, cuddling his arms and kissing the back of Jaemin's hand. Mark was drunk.Jaemin kept on repeating it. Jaemin sat on the bed while watching Mark slowly close his eyes, and finally fallen asleep.Habitually, Jaemin caresses Mark's flushed cheeks and tuck the excess bangs behind Mark's ear that covered the older's eyes. Jaemin rolled the back of his finger to feel Mark's eyebrows, it was exceptionally perfect.His closed eyes, are surrounded by small wrinkle hence the stress he had to deal in a daily, and Mark's moist lips a few minute after attempting to kiss Jaemin."Am I falling for the wrong Lee Minhyung?"NoI can't.Jaemin only remember bit pieces of Minhyung, yet every time he remember the male his eyes just water up and tears started to fall down. He felt so emotional.A hint that Minhyung was really someone he truly love.Yet his heart hurt in a wrong way. Something was missing in his memory, he knew because he didn't even remember the days of his final years in high school. Was that the day he fell and accepted Mark? Was that a missing piece his mind reject to remember?Why?What happened in those years that are empty in his mind?He feel so conflicted not remembering everything because he himself can't understand why he felt like crying.Even that one day, when Mark and him went in the hospital. He bump with a kid and got so emtional that day as he even vomitted.Does he have ill perspectives with children?His head is full of question of the past but he is forced to keep on climbing forward. It was so hard.Specially with Mark acting like this. Having so many vices, drinking, smoking, having an affair with other people.It just left Jaemin broken to pieces, but at the same time conflicted as the Jaemin now does not want any commitment as he try to focus of his worth. A revenge.Jaemin bite his lips bitterly and pull his arms out of Mark's embrace and stood up. He went straight out of their room, with a hidden appointment."Dada Nana you're here!"A young kid cheer and hug Jaemin, Jaemin scoot down to catch the little girl and embraces her. "She became really fond of you now"."Of course, I'm Eleven's Dada Nana".⚜⚜⚜"Haech, we just drank yesterday why are you taking me in a club again today" Jeno asked, while he is being dragged by Haechan.Haechan only told Jeno to dress nicely because they will go out, to all places here in Seoul why a club when Jeno have a trauma here; his past part-time job."Yeah we are drinking again to celebrate someone's birthday" Haechan chirped."Whose birthday ?" Jeno asked confusedly."Me" A beautiful Chenle in his silk black shirt, two button open. Welcome them ij the beverage counter. Jeno pause, mentally shocked and frozen seeing Zhong Chenle infront of him. Memory of the music club started to flash in, even the things he just wanted to forget."Welcome back Jeno" Chenle welcome with a bright smile.Jeno indeed came back to Seoul, and his sole purpose in this such sin city, is to face everything that is pulling him down.And getting what he suppose to own.
⚜A.N.⚜Damn why this chapter made me sad...
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
"Are you okay? You seem...occupied". Mark asked, the newly wed were eating their breakfast on the vast side of the beach, they went on a honeymoon in Hawaii and will travel to France tomorrow as their theme in their honeymoon is sweet traveling.Jaemin was rather occupied, playing with his food as he swirl his fork to the sunny-side up."Nana".Jaemin head pop up finally as Mark called for him for the nth time, "Hmm?""Is there any problem?" Mark asked again, Jaemin look down, and then sigh. "It's nothing...I'm just troubled by my dream"."What is it?" Mark seem anticipating Jaemin's answer though Jaemin hesitated to tell. He wasn't quite sure how to explain it so though he can figure some details about that dream he have."I dreamt of a faceless man... Looking at me... We sat down under a tree, and I cried in my dream because I got scared. My heart then started aching...and it hurted" Jaemin confusedly say, trying to explain it even though he is so conflicted."It hurts...I said his name but I couldn't remember"..·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·."You seem so strucked seeing me" Chenle giggle after seeing Jeno's shocked reaction, his eyes were round as ever and Haechan just look at Jeno be stiff around Chenle."Come on don't tensed up, it's not like we never knew each other" Chenlesaid, yet as a matter of fact, they only know each other's body secrets not personal stuff. Chenle gave Jeno a glass of alcoholic beverage and Jeno hesitantly take the glass as he look at Haechan first. Haechan look at him in exchange and response with a nod, saying Jeno should take the glass."It's my birthday so drink request is on me tonight"Chenle said winking as the three of them go on and have a drink."H-how did you know we are here?" Jeno asked confusedly, and as mention Haechan and Chenle hold the truth as a secret. Though Jeno was waiting for a reply, so Chenle look down, swirl his fingertip on to the lips of his shot glass and smirk."Well, you know I have my ways".Well this is the person who said illegal things aren't so illegal if done in secret, what more does Jeno expect. Jeno only sigh, he had met Chenle with such chances; that's what he think.Now he wonder if he also can see Jaemin by chance and destiny's will.On the other hand, Haechan was quiet in the corner when Chenle continue on flirting with Jeno, with obviously Kun next to him."How could you take it seeing him openly cheat?" Haechan whisper to Kun and the older take a gulp of his drink before answering. "He isn't cheating, we are just engage by paper not with our feelings, we live in that kind of world" Kun answered and Haechan pause.That was a stupid question.He didn't need to ask when he had experience this in the first place. With Mark, he thought he was cheating, Jaemin made him feel he did yet Mark insist that they weren't. Though each are compatible with each other but when mix with the three of them involve in one relationship it ended up messy.Was it the lack of understanding that they are supposed to be in a poly relationship.Though Haechan quickly shake off the though as his sub-consciousness realize he began thinking about Mark and Jaemin again. Now he worries how he will act now that. He wanted to be strong, he wanted Mark to see that he is dependant. Haechan could stand alone, he wasn't weak."Wanna do it like the old days?" Chenle popped out the question to the dumb-founded male and Haechan watch how Jeno got easily persuade."...but, we aren't"."We could"."But Jisung"."He is far gone, that's why I need you".Haechan knew from the start that Chenle will only use Jeno for his pleasure and account to enjoy himself. The chinese boy is too heart broken wanting to have sex to forget the sadness; just like Jaemin before.STOP THINKING ABOUT THEN HAECHAN!He kept reminding himself, while bitterly watching how Jeno pull up his hand to hold Chenle's and they flee. Something crash down in Haechan's heart that very moment as he stare at Jeno's back walking away from him.He stare down his empty glass, and bitterly bite his lower lips. "Another drink here please!".Four shot of vodka, Haechan finally felt a little tipsy, no wonder the beat of the music feel so light as if he wanted to dance so he went in. Eyes in the crowd lavish the bronze skin male as he walk in the dance floor.Shirt loose almost revealing his smooth shoulder, unsheveled hair going anywhere and bounce as Haechan dance. In only a second someone already started to grinned behind him, he wanted to be wild. This is Seoul anyway.He was alone anyway.Why he feel miserable all of a sudden, heart churning, it feel so heavy as he dance on this pop beat under the crazy lights above their head. Surround by hazy people. Why does he feel like someone is looking at him.His eyes were fixated on the silver ball that rotate around the open ceiling yet he turn his eyes and met with another pair. Everything seems to slow down.Mark.Light flashing purple to blue, this made his eye sight blurry yet the atmosphere is intoxicating.Haechan stayed his eyes and stared at Mark as he dance, feeling how some random guy gripped on his waist pulling him against their body and make their body rock and grind each other; whilst fluttering his eyes towards Mark. Playing with his swaying body that play the same rhythm as the music. Without leaving Mark's eyes alone.He don't know what he was doing, people covering and revealing Mark from his eyes as they dance infront of him. Mark was just sitting on the stool of the beverage counter.Haechan sink in more, and was now in the middle of drunk dancing people, feeling random touches on his butt, his waist, one man even cup his cheeks and brush Haechan's lips with his thumb. Haechan was emitting such sexiness in the middle of the dance floor.He turn again to Mark's current direction and actually saw the older male getting inbetween the crowd, walking straight to him with those stares that usually intimidate Haechan, but a drunk Haechan came stiff and exchange the same stare, that made Mark glare at him.The older stood tall infront of him making the people dancing around Haechan go away and leave the boy, scared of Mark's presence."What are you doing here?"Mark said those word with such intimidating and deep voice.Haechan stood up tall as well turning his body to Mark, both stand and look at each other. Mark was waiting for a reply, an explaination but Haechan rather observe him from head to toe and walk away, going pass through Mark as if they were strangers.Haechan turned his back living the male with his question in the middle of the dancefloor."Die in curiosity motherfucker".⚜⚜⚜Jeno got pushed by Chenle on a random bed on this club, he was fuzzy on his head and as if Chenle know that well as he whisper things and laugh when Jeno don't reply, obviously he knows why.Jeno lay down on his back and he felt Chenle sat on top of him, so the male automatically hold on to Chenle's waist as the chinese's weight is landing on his crotch real bad.He hadn't been doing it for years, not even masturbating. So having a hard on was like a new feeling to him that made him uncomfortable. "Hey Jen, wanna do something fun"Chenle started to suggest what he keep on his mind. "What about, I top" Chenle said cheerfully. Jeno pause, and then frown."What?"."You want to meet Jaemin again right, one of the fastest way to meet him is to be Mark's lap dog".Well its a good thing Jeno didn't even understand half of it or else he will be totally offended. "Hey, L--Lele, I think this isn't right" Jeno then said when Chenle is happily unzipping his pants."How come?"."It just.. I feel like we are strangers again..."Chenle then pause and look at Jeno analyzing the male. Jeno's eyes are covered by his arms while he was breathing heavily. The chinese boy realize what he was trying to provoke and fall out above Jeno. "I'm sorry, I was just carried away"Chenle said whispering, as he lay his head on top of Jeno's exposed chest. He hears the older's running beats, it must be because of the drug Chenle had put, now he feel really guilty."I just thought that... I could use you a little to ease myself. I just realize how selfish that was" Chenle said, reflecting as he sigh. Jeno wasn't the one who is the drunkened dude, he still have his sanity yet he can feel the effect of the drug Chenle mention since he feel inside his body. His head was ringing earlier but now it settles down a little as he try to be sober already.Jeno then hug the Chinese male who started to sob on top of him and situated Chenle next to him instead.Arms wrap around the Chinese's petite waist as he try to comfort the other, Jeno know it was better to be left untold or he will make Chenle cry more.Jeno still feel weird though and also he realizes just now how this room is surrounded by mirrors, the walls are made of mirror that Jeno can see his reflection on each side.Chenle continue to sob and Jeno felt like he wronged Chenle, Jeno knew Chenle isn't much of a bad guy, he could be a mischief or a menace at times but he will always be a good friend.Jeno was spooning Chenle at the moment, as the Chinese's back brushes on his chest. He cup and caresses Chenle's cheeks and turn the boy to face him and started to kiss him.He can feel and even taste some tears that had fallen from Chenle's eyes yet he didn't bother as the Chenle reply with his kisses to slowly and completely turning his body to face Jeno.Of course that kiss escalated, Jeno even forgot what he said early. He might have felt pity when Chenle cried.He was now hovering Chenle both are naked as each other undresses themselves while in a steamy make out session. "I already prep so you can enter".As if planned, Chenle spread his legs and show how wet he was, lube dripping down his hole so he can excite Jeno even more. Chenle wasn't even ordered , he automatically flipped himself in all fours, knees and hands down while he lift his butt for Jeno to hold and use."Hurry".Jeno wasn't sure, as narrated, he had never done this for years and his dick had felt like rotting for all those years if it is reacting like this now, as it twitches when it's distance between the hole got shorter.Jeno entered and was not very good in his pace, he was still hesitant, yet Chenle gave good responses that made him move faster as requested.What was he doing, he is repeating it again. He shouldn't be doing this. But he kept on going when the pleasure over flow his system, holding on Chenle's waist it feels ecstatic even though everything is so wrong.They used condoms, and used a box of it and another until each other got enough. Jeno falling down the bed next to a sweaty Chenle."Thank you" Chenle whisper catching his breath.Chenle turned and look at Jeno who was only staring at their vague reflection on the mirror ahead them. "What happen Lele?""I'm marrying someone I don't love" Chenle answer so quick, without any hesitation. "Jisung is probably the killer of half of our people. I don't know what to do anymore" Chenle said. Remembering it again. Why can't he forget itI wish I can forget it all like Jaemin"Then what am I doing here? Why did you brought me in Seoul?" Jeno said, finally understanding all the scheme Haechan and Chenle did. Chenle's eyes got twice big and look away to Jeno."H-how..."Jeno sigh and cover his eyes with his arms again, " I will only get more destroy more here" Jeno said, more like a whisper."but you are the only person who can build him again".⚜⚜⚜Eleven embraces and snuggle herself onto Jaemin's arm as Jaemin tighten his embrace a little more."Where is Mark?"Yangyang is sat on the sofa just nect to Jaemin, the other can only sigh."He left for Chenle's birthday" Jaemin said, "He will probably drown himself with alcohol there"."He keep mentioning Hyuck... I have no idea who he is. None in the office have a name Hyuck, even in the club he visited frequently. Though even when he is drunk he is still the person he is finding".Jaemin eyes wander on the ground as Eleven settle down on his lap, finally napping as Jaemin habitually brush the kid's hair with his finger when he is thinking. Reminiscing, reflecting."Why do I always tend to cry when I see eleven and other kids? Why do I feel like I'm finding a faceless person? It is only making my head hurt" Jaemin sigh, "Well it's a good thing I'm here you really need a therapist"."Yeah, but I can't even reveal it to Mark, I must introduce you as a new member so they won't kill you but many will pursue you and use you instead" Jaemin can only sigh again because of their situation as hundred of eyes watches over him like he was some kind of prey."Mark can also kill you if he knew. I can feel that he was trying to hide something in those memories of mine, like a betrayal, yet that's impossible hence his behaviour nowadays" Jaemin conflicted, bite his lower lips."You are an exchange student on the year that I have forgotten the most, why can't you just tell me?" Jaemin desperately said, as he keep repeating this request every session he and Yangyang have."I can't, I need you to remember it because, hearing it to someone will only conflict on your real perspective. You should be the one who remember it so you can understand how you felt those days, If I'm the one who will tell you the interpretation of your feelings will differ and you will never remember the truth" Yangyang advices and Jaemin only breath in defeat once again. He wonder what happen in those years, how come this was the future, what was the cause of his coma?Why? He had so many question in his head. So many.He wanted to cry."Oh, one thing, our wedding anniversary is near, I hope he remember it at least". Jaemin said looking down, Yangyang sigh, Jaemin is getting more worst in his anxiety, depression. He wasn't doing well, since the start.It was the end of the session since Yangyang have to take Eleven to her grandmother today, so they ended it here, at least he had let Jaemin express the surface of his twisted feelings.Yangyang go on to his day after a three hour session with Jaemin, picking Eleven and carrying her inside the car and left the Lee residence, leaving Jaemin once again in this white big space alone.He feel so lonely, that it feel so cold in even the he put on the heater. Jaemin just went to his and Mark's shared bedroom. It was colder here.Jaemin sat down the edge of the bed, with tears brimming his eyes as he feel so conflicted. How many more do he have to do to gain his memory back? It hurts so much but he was in pain with empty reason, he is so confused.Staring at the box that Yangyang gave him, it contains his belongings five years ago. The empty perfume that still hold the scent of peach, books that have bookmark's and highlight. And a necklace that have a 'J' pendant on it.Nothing flashes in his head, that made Jaemin eyes finally break down to tears, yet he quickly wipe containing himself. All of his memories were the one when he was still a kid, he only remember Lee Minhyung, his deceased father, and Mark who's motive was to kill him.Pain, everyone is feeling pain. And maybe the cure for it is to be hurt more and be numb."Seoul University" Jeno narrated reading the banner on the upper part of the pillar entrance of the university. "You said Chenle reserved our slot here?" Jeno asked and Haechan nodded, also in awe of how big and luxurious this university was.Just like how they reacted in Xavier, their alma mater.Jeno tugged the handle of his backpack nervously, gulping. "You have clear skin today, did you had fun hooking up the other day" Haechan teased, even though he was so bittet about it inside. Jeno blushed and shook his head."N-no, it was a one time thing" Jeno excused and Haechan scoffed, "Maybe that's what you promise as well five years ago but still hooked up a couple of times" Haechan said, and got shocked he spoke that way.Jeno lay his head low and sigh, "I'm sorry, I don't even know why I did it" Jeno said. It was no time being sad so Haechan panicked. He don't need no emo Jeno right now in their first day of school. "No-- I'm sorry...I'm the one who dragged you here before and even now...it's my fault so he are quits now okay" Haechan try lifting Jeno up.Jeno did show a small smile, maybe to reassure his friend, "Yeah, could we forgot about it?" I don't want us to be hurt again. Haechan nodded and smile back and unconsciously giving his hand to hold.He got surprised and was about to withdraw his hands but Jeno rather caught it and hold hands with him.They walk with hand holding one another, inside the hall were student flock and some eyes started to dart their hands."I-Isn't this PDA?""Well we are friends".Ouch.Haechan rather pulled out his hands and chuckle awkwardly, "Let's just walk side by side, they might get mistaken" Haechan insist, half-heartedly.Though because of the amount of crowd suddenly moving on the side, they were also pushed to the locker corner. To whom are they making way with, as they started gossiping, whispering. Making such commotion.Why does this feel so familliar.Jeno then turn his head on the entranve where eyes of the crowd are also darted and there he was.Jaemin.Lee Jaemin.And Jeno got chills not only because he was now in such short distance to the person who he had love so much, but also the fact that Jaemin's hair were pink.It wasn't such a big of a deal with anyone, but it was in Jeno.As he always dream of Jaemin, on the same place with his pink lock.How did the time tick so slowly, as Jeno trail his eyes to the boy, in his marhsmallow color cardigan that is loose, pink hair down, and circle specs on his eyes. Jeno's heart can't even function as properly skipping beats abnormally.Jeno felt chills, such nostalgic on how he met Jaemin for the first time, the very time he was captivated.Bones feeling weak when his and Jaemin met, like everything turn blur and making Jeno flinch. That eye contact stayed painfully slow and Jaemin was the also the one who ended that continuing his walk with his spacious pathway, as student make way to this man like he was an actual king."T-that's Jaemin" Jeno pointed out, looking like someone who consumed drug just now. Haechan had this pang in his heart yet he was still happy for Jeno finally having a glimpse to the person he love.While he, he don't know,he just feel bitter all through out. He don't know, last time when he first saw Mark again he felt giddy, yet his heart didn't lie.It was beating like spelling the word love, he thought he moved on, he wanted to move on but it seems that it was so easy to be determined to move on but he never really actually moved on.Haechan know them coming back here will make a huge mess, even more damaging than five years ago.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
╚════.✾. ═╝( A year ago)Jaemin look down at the white roses, all patch around his hold beautifully. His Bouquet, in this simplicity, it made him smile.He look out on the tinted window of the limousine he was in and saw their guests for Na Jaemin and Lee "Minhyung's" wedding. Jaemin just recovered from the hospital bed, a year or so to be exact that's why he have no exact idea of his marriage to somebody. Who was not Minhyung at all.That whole year he questioned who he was as his memories were stucked in the past. Then slowly after he remembered bit pieces of Minhyung. And he knows this person he was marrying is not Minhyung, it was somebody else but look exactly like him.The veil, cling on his shoulder. Maybe the bouquet was the only thing he looked forward today."Mr. Na, you may go out now" The butler said as he opened the door, for Jaemin to go out now as everybody was inside of the big wedding hall, waiting for him to walk on the aisle.somehow Jaemin felt nervous, nervous of everything, the event, the people, and his own groom. He hadn't memorize everyone in that crowd of people inside. He had little to few memories as the only memories remained are morely about Minhyung, no one and nothing more, it was all deleted.Jaemin got out of the car, sighing, while his heartbeat was rising it's speed. Maid and butler fix Jaemin's train of veil and Jaemin felt like he was being treated like a doll.He gulps hearing the piano music, changing its tune to welcome the groom, which is Na Jaemin. The door opened and everyone was waiting for him he felt as if the moment he stepped on this black aisle carpwt, ridiculous expectation, rules and control will be given to him. His only companion as he step inside this hall was this white roses around his hand. Eyes were shaky, nervous that everyone was looking at him.He feel like melting. Pressured."breathe Jaemin, this will end quickly" he mumbled to himself, head low, and eyes are closed taking another step forward. Slowly, he walk in this aisle the same slow pace of the music."You will be a Lee Jaemin, because that will make you stronger"He remember those words, the word spoken by Mark a night before this actual wedding. Stronger, because he live in the most dangerous part of the world. Everyone was his enemy."Do you even love me?" , "No I shouldn't".Why does those words echo inside his brain again and again, "Stop" he whisper garnering nothing but painful memories. This person he is marrying tried to kill him, tried to assasinate him, till today he continously using him.It was so painful, but he hold on, he'll love me, not now but soon.Then a tear fell down Jaemin's cheeks as he look up and saw Mark waiting for him infront of the altar."You will love me Mark, right?" Jaemin whispered. "Or will I just wait for your love, forever".One more step, he was closer. Does Lee fit me?And Jaemin never get an answer from his question, flowers are radiant and white around, it looks peaceful, harmonic. Mark bring out his hand for Jaemin to hold, as people behind them watch them intently. A marriage with a purpose but does not contain the purest love. They were just standing in this altar to use each other for their own advantages..That's why it was so easy breaking it now, and it keeps breaking later on to dust and ashes.⚜⚜⚜" the longer I drink, the better it taste" Jaemin commented, staring at the bronze colored liqour in his glass while Haechan only wander his eyes to Jaemin. Still can't believe he was sitting with him this close. Compare to before that Jaemin might have shoot him dead when he go near Jaemin's vicinity.He was also scared, that what if one day Jaemin found out who he was and what his role in Jaemin's life before his memory lost."Why... Are you staring at...me" Jaemin gulp the whole shot of champagne in one go, before noticing the stares that can create a blazing hole on Jaemin. Haechan then flutter his eyes, embarrased that he was caught staring."N-nothing"."Toast?" Jaemin then raise his glass refilled once again by the bartender. Haechan was suppose to leave his second drink untouch yet consider getting along with Jaemin. Well it was only them. It felt awkward and the tension made Haechan flinch every time Jaemin move.Around them are people who are having fun. Moaning. Having the best hour of their night. While the two of the indulge on their own personal pain. One is guilty of everything he had done to the person infront of him.While the other felt like he was mourning, confuse of his world, his feelings. As the people around him keep on betraying him. Including Mark who they didn't notice also exist in this hall.The two were immerse in their open conversation, as they share their second toast of drink. "This champagne is...strong" Haechan mentioned, four glasses in and he was already feel shaky, and he felt like his vision blurr as he try to focus."Actually tomorrow I'll be celebrating something. With someone, and what's funny is I prepared that gift a year ago" Jaemin spoke, pouring random stuff, chuckling bitterlyHis throat feel like it was on fire, up until his heart. Like he was having a heart burn. He can only see Jaemin talking, leaning down the open counter of this liqour area. Then the boy smiles that caught Haechan attention the most."You really have a pretty smile" Haechan slip his thought, and accidentally saying it. His eyes widen as he gasp and Jaemin chuckle. "Really?"As if flirting, Haechan was just being honest since before Jaemin's smile was rarely to be seen. Specially by Haechan, before when he was around Jaemin is always frowning and in the worst mood.But now Haechan is closely seeing Jaemin jolly under the influence of alcohol. Oh, the tension it was building up again with such strange dynamic, the crazy dancing light with the pop music that seemingly goes mute, Haechan and Jaemin turn to make their own world as of that second.Jaemin then pulled the stool Haechan was sitting, making Haechan froze and stiff, they were just inches apart. Lips are feeling each other's warm breath.And when Haechan felt Jaemin was moving closer his eyes automatically closed. Submitting, and he don't know why.Haechan felt shiver run down his body when Jaemin's lip land on his, they were kissing, like actually kissing. Hands play their role as Jaemin scoot Haechan closer to him, Haechan bringing his hands caressing Jaemin's cheek while the other grip on Jaemin's arm that is clinging on his waist.Lips moved, insync, oddly for Jaemin while familliar to Haechan as they have kissed before. When Mark can't tend Jaemin when Chenle test some drugs on him. That is when Haechan kissed Jaemin for the first time.Both of them, they indulge on the kissing as their lower lip sink on each other's lips. Slow-paced lip lock change to a much more agressive as Jaemin licked the lower lip of the other and bite it, pulling it a little before Haechan pull Jaemin closed, fighting with their tongue as an act of dominance. Too immerse of the heat they are creating, Haechan forgot he was kissing the guy he had broke.Closer, their body were drew closer, now Haechan cupped Jaemin's both side of Jaemin's cheek to deepened the kiss.It was in the daze of the moment. Though the heat was undeniable. Both know that this could escalate to something more, "Fuck" Jaemin whispered under the kiss.Now Jaemin was waiting for more. Sex? Jaemin and Mark had never done it after they got to Korea. That added more to Jaemin's insecurities, while rumors spread that Mark was spending his night with other people.Jaemin was about to pull Haechan so they can go to Jaemin's private room in the club room. But Jaemin and Haechan's intertwined hands was caught by Mark, and quickly pull them apart."Mark?" Jaemin confusedly look up to the older. Not expecting Mark to show up here as he barely go to club since he was busy. Haechan was taken aback as well, then his eyes met Mark who was frowning catching them making out, kissing passionately."I'll take you home" Mark said, grabbing Jaemin on the wrist and pulled him. "W-wait Haechan..." Jaemin insist and turn to his new found "friend"."He seems drunk too, lets drop him off somewhere for him to rest, he doesn't seem to want to join them" Jaemin said, making Mark groan seeing how Jaemin intertwines his fingers with Haechan. They just met today, eventually, yet both got drew closer because of the kiss.Haechan was indeed tipsy, that's why he didn't hesitated to kiss back. If he was in his straightest mind, he would have pushed Jaemin scared.Mark hesitated but was left with no choice and bring Haechan with them.The familliar peaches smell, Haechan was inside Mark's car once again. As Mark carried him to the back as his knees finally fail. The champagne was too strong for Haechan who was just a soju drinker.The lights from the window seems blurry and he feel a little motion sickness. Eyes avert to what is infront of him. And from the front mirror he saw how Jaemin was also slowly dozing off in the drive. The only difference is Mark was holding onto Jaemin's hand, and Haechan was alone at the back.Haechan was booked to a hotel by Mark, Jaemin was left in the car and Mark have to guide Haechan up to the room. He doesn't want Mark to know he was awake so he pretended to be asleep. Scared of what could happen.But he heard the door click and closed.He was left alone, laying on the spacious bed.Jaemin slowly turn his head to Mark, with half-lidded eyes. Mark was stern while Jaemin's heart beat so fast, he wanted them to stop afraid that Mark might hear his heart beating do fast for him. When in the first place this marriage was only filled with condition and rules, limitation, and pure absence of love."Can you stand up?" Mark asked, as they returned to their house, Jaemin gave him a subtle nod and stood up by himself, even he feel his entire world is spinning to circle and ovals. Maids welcome them despite so late of night, and Mark was the one infront walking not seeing how Jaemin trip on his ownself and onky notice it when maids panicked to help Jaemin up.Mark quickly turn to Jaemin, " I'll carry him" He said and Jaemin's heart leap with much enjoyment. Jaemin wrap his arms around Mark's neck as he was being carried and his head lean on Mark, unconsciously smiling as Mark's light yet fragrant perfume is strongest near his neck.They entered the master bedroom where they share the bed, and Mark gently placed Jaemin on his side of the bed.Eyes met but Mark turn his eyes away, making Jaemin raise smiling lips fall down. Eyes flutter, waiting for Mark to join him in their bed. "You rest Nana" Mark said and left the room. Leaving Jaemin sobbing.Mark can't, after seeing the two kiss he can't. He feel so mixed, he don't know what's Haechan's motive on going back to Seoul and now approaching Jaemin.He don't want another war. One day, Jaemin will force himself to everything and he will hate Haechan more if that happen. He got in his car again and drive as fast as he could. Going back to the motel.He barged inside, with a frown and saw no one on the bed."I knew you would comeback, bringing me to a motel, are you expecting me waiting for you all naked and stripped down" Haechan spoke, as he was in the balcony, now entering the warm room. "What did I told you Lee Haechan! I said don't ever go back here, and I saw you kissing my husband" Mark shouted in much anger yet Haechan never flinch, never closed his eyes. He stood there infront of Mark."Why are you jealous? So what if I'm kissing your husband? Are you angry someone else is kissing him!? It hurts right! You should have consider that when you made the both of us hold onto you! You have no right to be hurt when you hurted me first!"Mark was about to throw hands, aiming to punch Haechan out of anger when his own eyes pooled with tears."What are you waiting for, come on punch! Mark Lee""Don't be so full of yourself Donghyuck" Mark threatened, by those voice Haechan indeed flinch, with those glare, Haechan shiver. "I will hurt and kill everyone who gets in my way" Mark said towering the younger, Haechan didn't even realize he hd hit the end of the room, back landing on the wall.Eyes to eyes. Haechan tremble yet he have to be strong. How can be strong when he alwayz feel weak around Mark.Hands turn to a fistful, Haechan... Don't be scared."And why would I be scared, You can't hurt me" Haechan answered, retaining and avoiding to stutter, eyes never left Mark. "And how can you be so sure of that" Mark answered aggressively, and also closely as their face were getting near and near each other."You can never hurt me, I know you still love me, and you can never even put a bruise on my skin".Mark then agressively pinned his arm locking Haechan on that wall, "Is that so? Then why don't strip yourself, so I can fuck you and hurt you. That's what I do to people I like".Haechan shivers, fingers flinching. Heart was beating so fast he doesn't want to be stuck here, he wanted to go.But why, why does his heart is now churning for Mark, making him frustrated and he started bursting to tears. "Let go of me"."I said let go of m--"Chin is pulled, and lips kissed Mark's, Haechan tried to fight back but his shoulder were lock by Mark's hard grasp. He want to go, run away.Yet to how many times he convince himself his knees weaken, and his heart keep on going back to Mark every goddamn time. He was Martyr, he wanted to be strong, but he was weak to reject his first love.Haechan's head go blank as those kisses were reminscent of the dreams he usually have after Mark went away. He moved on, he tried, but he was falling again.Arms cling to Mark as the kisses weren't as slow and agressive as before, but now was sloppy as Mark lift Haechan, grabbing on his butt and Haechan putting his legs around Mark's waist, his back still pinned on the wall.Slowly feeling how his own tent grows as well as Mark, feeling the hard thing brushing on the crease of his butt.Thrown in bed, Mark's eyes were half-lidded as he take off his shirt and Haechan just watch him and immerse himself. He was lost of reasoning. He want Mark, he loves Mark.He may have infatuated Jeno, for his loyalty and consideration, but he couldn't deny Mark. Throw him apple and eggs, he don't care, his mind was drowning from the pleasure, the affection and warmth when Mark started to touch him again..Making him cry more to feel Mark again was something he had only thrown to the star. "I fucking hate you" Haechan cried, as both are now completely naked, "I-I fucking hate you!" Haechan cried yet reply and kissed back when Mark kissed him."I'm sorry".Mark whisper as Haechan hug him instead of pushing him away, "I hate you, b-but I love you so much! I hate it!" Haechan cried and Mark kissed away the tears that are falling on Haechan's cheek. Haechan sob but still tightly hugging Mark, not letting him go and Mark let him be as they share each other's body heat.Their eyes then meet, and Haechan pause his world seeing all the happiness he got when he was with Mark. Having hope that it could be back, that they could restart. So many things ran in Haechan's mind but to erase it is Mark's kisses. Mark nibble on Haechan's lower as he hovered the male, positioning in between Haechan's leg.Hand brush to Mark's shoulder down to his veiny arms. "I'll go in" Mark said and Haechan bite his lips and subtly nod. Nothing was wrong or right. He don't know anymore. He thought Jeno was the only one who is broken. He just realise he was in pieces too."Hmph" Haechan gasp, having something inside him was foreign. Only his fingers got in there and Mark was a big package. Mark slowly move his hips and Haechan replied with moans, closing his eyes and tears bursting on his eyes. Mark kisses his eyes again and intertwined his hands with Haechan on the side, and continue on his face. Vanilla sex, with dark history and background."I love you"..."I...me too".⚜⚜⚜Jaemin stood in there room, alone staring at the bouquet that is restored by resin glass. The only beautiful thing in this marriage is those white perfect petals of his wedding flowers. Anniversaries, what do couples do in their anniversary, eat dinner, make love the whole day, spend it on the park, have amusement park dates."Young master you're bleeding!" The maid rush as his wrist were the victim of his anger again. Maid get the first aid kid and cure multiple cuts on Jaemin's wrist. "You know miss Ayunnah will get mad at us if you continue cutting yourself.Jaemin was just quiet, staring at nothingness and the maid felt sorry to his boss, suffering deep inside. "Young master, promise me you will never end up like Mrs. Nana" the maid whisper who had been there ever since Nana, Jaemin's mother.Jaemin was suffering something alike. Yet different. Nana and him were both neglected by love, Nana was full of fears that she pushes everyone, and do not trust anyone. While Jaemin is lost inside his blank memories, wanting to gain the reason on why Mark doesn't love him,And how did the Jaemin before survive this loneliness, because today Jaemin feel so ruined and weak.A butler then quietly came inside the room. "I have confirmed, young master's husband had return to the motel"."W-wait young master! I'm still healing your cuts" The maid panicked when Jaemin stood up with a stern face, "I recommend not going there young master"."I'm not scandalous Ayunnah" Ayunnah was the female butler that followed Mark if he really go back to the motel. "So he rather choose a stanger than me. What can I do? Nothing, we are married with papers, no feelings attached on those scripted vows" Jaemin said, refusing his tears to fall down.Jaemin continue to walk but was stop by Ayunnah, holding onto his wrist. Yet Jaemin pulled it away. "I just need some air, I'm feel like I'm drowning, suffocated".⚜⚜⚜Five years wasn't that long, thats why the pool never changes. Jeno stood there on the edge of the pool seeing his shaking reflection on the still water.Lights were dim, and the clear part od the ceiling show the small spark of stars above the sky along with the cresent moon. It was cold and shivering to the skin. The pool filled with nostalgia and memories. This is where Jeno and Jaemin first interact and the final time they interact before the incident.Remember how Jaemin pushed him inside this pool, making him smile, their first kiss.Jeno felt like drowning that day when Jaemin pulled him deeper in this blue yet clear liquid but drowning wasn't so bad when he was drowning kissing Jaemin.Thoughts running, fingers caressing his lips as he chuckle lowly reminiscing the past.He didn't know that this pool in their former hidghschool is accessible in the outside. Maybe that's how Jaemin get inside the pool without entering the front gate.He didn't went along with Chenle and sneak out in the back door, he went somewhere else, here, he rather be here than join the craze. Music club wasn't something ordinary, and it was so obvious. It was crooked, unreasonable, and sometimes disgusting and uncomfortable but that is where he found the love of his life.His actual love that up until now he hadn't move on yet. Heart clench that Jaemin seems to not recognize him anymore, had he change so much for Jaemin to forget him? Or destiny was just cruel enough to make him suffer."Who are you and why are you here?"A familliar voice the shoke Jeno's heart, slowly he turn his head and met the angel of his life. His Na Jaemin.
A.N.I cried, because I am an emotional bitch and I was just asked by my dominant for divorce so yeah, I am fine~
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
"Do I know you?" Jaemin stood, distant to Jeno. Did you really haveforgotten about me.Jaemin with a frown as he saw nothing but a stranger hindering his safe zone, Jeno turned around completely pockets with with his hands and eyes meet Jaemin. "Jeno Lee" Jeno said, introducing himself. Have him surprise that he never really introduce him to Jaemin back then.Jaemin knew him first, even before he was set to go to Seoul. Jaemin's eyes tell that he had known Jeno's background yet the Jaemin infront of him now look so clueless. "What happen to you Jaemin" Jeno asked himself."Then you may leave, this is a private institution" Jaemin said, with such tough in his voice, yet failed to prolong as his voice crack mid-way, making Jaemin embarassed. "I am not an outsider, I actually am fond of this place" Jeno then confessed making Jaemin pause. Wondering if Jeno is one of the swimmer utilizing this pool then realize. "Wait...aren't you the new recruit in the club" Jaemin said, pin-pointing it as he never really payed so much attention, since Chenle keep insisting him to sleep with the new members, he avoided them.But now he is face-to-face with that "new" recruit."I was waiting for you to recognize me" Jeno smile outside, yet crash down inside confirming that Jaemin indeed doesn't recognize him anymore. Had he forgotten about Jeno? Was it because of his accident.Jaemin then hesitated forgetting the whole reason why he went here in the pool area of his former highschool ground. Yet something was odd, something was so odd.Jaemin then look back again, to someone he consider as a stranger, Jeno turn his head, nervous of the eye contact and sink himself looking at the still pool water. Jaemin calm down, as he observe that this man seems to be no harm so he tense down, yet still towering his senses.Jaemin thought that they will just be minding their own business, as Jaemin approaxh the other end of the water, he already thrown the thought of reasons his car and feet dragged him here. He always go here when he cry, alone in this cold atmosphere and then now, someone was here.He look down to his reflection, ruined, seeing his wrist with a bandage around it. He look so miserable he hated it so much. A tear even pour down, landing on the still water, making it shake. Jeno was on the other end and saw how Jaemin started to fall down his knees and continue to sob so he quickly ran to the other."Are you okay?" Jeno asked panickedly as he try to assist Jaemin but Jaemin's hand pushes him away. "Don't touch me, I barely know you" Jaemin utter between does sobs.To all those nights four years ago, where they touch, kissed and made love. Talk under the stars and moon, while being surrounded by flowers, their secret rendezvous. Jeno know every physical secrets have and same goes for Jaemin.Yet, now they go back to zero.Strangers to strangers."I'm at least a friend" Jeno then said bitterly, deperate the comfort the crying boy, he didn't have to ask why and who made him like this. As Jeno know Jaemin always cry because of Mark and his reckless action."come on, its too humid and cold here, I'll take you home" Jeno said, as far as he know Haechan told him Jaemin was living on the same house he did before, but now the house is under the name of Mark and Jaemin since they were already married now."Yah! I said stop, we don't know each other!" Jaemin said, defensive."Nana, please"."H-how..how did you know that" Jaemin then pause, and look at Jeno with wonder in his eyes. The Jaemin right now is vulnerable. In need of affection because after waking up from the white room, he was neglected of all of it.And on how Jeno called him with such concern, filled in those nickname Jaemin shiver. Looking up to Jeno wondering the answer.Jeno bite his lips. Skeptical to bare the truth he doesn't to push everything, specially right now, Jaemin doesn't seem to be in his best self. "Let's just say, I know you well" Jeno said and Jaemin frowned on such blurred answer.Jeno pick up his handkerchief and kneel down to level Jaemin and wipe the tears pouring down on Jaemin's eyes. Jaemin froze, as he let that happen. There was little to no one who cared for him in his dark world. While this guy infront of him show him such sympathy."I'll take you home" Jeno said, and as if a casting spell Jaemin followed him, Jeno hold his arm to guide him to stand up, yet Jaemin quickly brush the hold away from his body. Keeping distance, and Jeno keep it, and just accept it."I have my own car, you can go" Jaemin said. And Jeno nervously scratch his nape. "I actually don't have a car"."Huh? Then how did you get here?" Jaemin asked, disbelief and confused how this guy got here when the university is blocks away from here. "You said you will take me home and you are the one who doesn't have a car" Jaemin said clicking his tongue."Well commuting is an option" Jeno said, as an excuse. "Ah, whatevere, get in my car I'll take you home"."Then can I drive?" Jeno then propose, "Do you even have a license?" Jaemin retorted arms crossed amused to the guy he almost go warm for."I do, You can't drive, You drunk" Jeno reasoned, "How'd you know? Where you there?" Jaemin sassed, he was crying a minute ago. Well that is what you called mood-swings."No, I smelled you" Jeno answered, and that made Jaemin scoffed and rolled his eyes, "Are you a dog or something"."Maybe, but I can assure I am not a bad guy" Jeno said and Jaemin could only sigh, diabelief and just give in. He doesn't know what this guy's motive of acting this way but now their set up is Jeno is driving and he was next to him."You can go down when you see the nearest train station" Jaemin said, without even looking at Jeno. Looking at the window instead, distracting his eyes with the streetlights, some are white, some looks like orange. The sky was dark as navy blue, there is not much star to be seen and the moon was barely full."Why were you crying earlier" Jeno asked, to start a conversation despite knowing the answer already. "It's none of your business you are just my mere co-club member" Jaemin said."Hm.. Yeah, but could we consider ourselves as club member when we aren't even there and right here as of now" Jeno said, peeking at Jaemin unchanging reaction.Jaemin rather lowered his head, thoughts scrambled in his head, "I am angry" Jaemin said, meddling with his finger, pinching one with his own finger. A bad habit indeed. " wanna let the angry out?" Jeno then asked and Jaemin raise his brows then look at Jeno."What do you mean?" Jaemin asked, " Well, keeping all the anger inside and quietly crying over it will only destroy you more and more, you should let it out, your heart might explode" Jeno said, looking at Jaemin on his side eye, the confuse male only look at him with such pure confusion and making Jeno smile, man-handling the wheel going to a different direction. "Hey! YAH! Where are you taking us?!" Jaemin panicked as they enter a different road."Trust me a lil".Jaemin wad panicking nonetheless in the whole drive, as he was having wild thoughts that he just let a kidnapper drive his car! He wad a mad man, yet he doesn't wanna crash and die with this guy, he still want to live!His eyes were panicking as he turn left to write, none of the area was familliar to him while Jeno went oustside and go somewhere. "Fuck i should call 911" Jaemin panicked fishing up his phone and well sucks the suck, his phone shuts down the the bestest of time."Fuck, Fuck!" Jaemin panicked when Jeno got in the car with a sack of something, "Yah, why are you putting a dirty sack on my car! You will get it dirty!" Jaemin said, "It's clean, shh, its already midnight, don't be scandalous" Jeno said and coming in again on the driver's seat."Where the hell are you taking me?!" Jaemin grumbled and Jeno just drive until they enter the opening of forest and Jaemin's heart started to pump so hard nervous. Was this the end of him, after trusting someone."Turn the fucking car around!" Jaemim shouted and then so Jeno stopped the car making Jaemin jaw dropped and turn to his surrounding. "Come out" Jeno said and Jaemin shook his head."come on, I'm helping you here" Jeno said pulling the sack on the back, cackling as if glasses are inside of it. Curiously Jaemin just stare at Jeno, he can't start the car without the key and he doesn't have any device to manually start the car.Though as he saw, Jeno waited for him, only leaning on a fence. So Jaemin went out, careful of himself. The moon and the front light of the car were the only source of light in this place, though there are distant streetlights."What is that" Jaemin asked, as after the fence is a distant abadoned wall, seem to be an unfinished building. "A wall" Jeno answered."What are we even doing her-- huh why do you have a plate?" Jaemin asked confuse and look at Jeno finding a proper answer. "Throw it" Jeno said."Huh?""You are angry right? Release it by throwing this" Jeno said pointing at the plate. "Why?" Jaemin asked."Aish, no further theoretical explaination just throw it so you would know" Jeno said, and letting Jaemin's gaze to the stranded wall filled with random vandalism. Jaemin look down on the glass plate, take a deep breathe and then look up to the wall.Throwing it will all force, the glass shattered to pieces as a satisfying noise crackle on their ears. Jaemin was in awe, hands then tremble as he gulps."Feels good right?" Jeno said, admiring Jaemin on this limited light. "More?" Jeno hand over another plate, which are the one inside the sack Jeno was dragging earlier. He was holding his own plate."Gimme that" Jaemin rather chose the other plate Jeno is holding, the one having a strawberry design. "I hate this" Jaemin said because Mark make him taste strawberry testing a memory lost Jaemin and Jaemin puked that day. So he hated strawberries just like the Jaemin before.Plates are pressured and smashed on the wall as Jaemin throw it with his angered and it felt good, Jeno was right, whoever he is in Jaemin's mind.The grass next to the wall flooded with shattered glass that may be dangerous to walk over. They throw it and release their anger, specially Jaemin until one plate is left.Jaemin's tears cover his eyes, glassy and blurry, hands are trembling.Why does he keep fooling himselfWhy is he keep on hangingWhy can't Mark choose himWhy not him, why not them.Jaemin understand. Everything will put them down if anyone know that one is cherished by the other, they were fighting so many people, against so many powerful monster around them.But, does that have to mean that Mark will go farther away from him, avoid kissing him, avoid seeing him. Will they only be a married couple in a paper, and will thoroughly use each other.Jaemin broke down, as tears started to fall down, and Jeno watch him cry gripping on the final plate. Jaemin was so broken, so much broken than before.Jaemin doesn't remember him, Jaemin is someone else. A stranger to Jeno.So Jeno put on the limitation, Jaemin is too broken, he doesn't want him to be overwhelmed. Jeno sensitively tapped Jaemin's shoulder."Thirsty?" Jeno offered a peach juice in a box. So Jaemin let himself be occupied by this moment today, leaning on the front of the car, distance are given, both sip on their drink Jaemin wondering how come this guy next to him know that he likes peaches. Along with some potato chips, stayed on the night there was nothing to be seen in the sky are stars are fogged."Do you always go here to throw plates?" Jaemin asked, this was such a rajdom event. Yet Jeno shrugged, "Chenle thrown a plate earlier cuz he got pissed, so I thought of that as an idea and a gist" Jeno said laughing.There are just small exchange of conversation, Jeno let Jaemin be quiet until they finally decide to go home."You rest when you go home.. Mr. Lee" Jeno said, even saluting as a goodbye as Jaemin drop him off the nearest train station. Jaemin wondered his bubbly feelings, around people specially inside black rose, he felt every stranger skeptical, someone he shouldn't go along to but why does this dude who offered him to throw plates on a random wall feel so light for him.He wonder, why?It was already morning, Jaemin felt restless but he couldn't sleep, anger was still there yet he looks surprisingly calm.Getting inside their room again, this cold and empty room that doesn't even hold any memory worth happenings.Everything is painful, everything is limited and plain.Jaemin was attracted to the clear framed bouquet. It was Jaemin's anniversary gift for this year but it was better off gone. It was a flower stored it's beauty by incaging itself by resin, shaped to a rectangular one. Jaemin hold onto it with both of his hands.A click of a knob, what a coincidence."N-Nana" Mark opened the door and Jaemin's back face him. Distance, that was the only thing present between them and Jaemin feel so much emotion, overwhelming, and painful. As if those unknown memories affect his owj heart without his brain realizing it.He doesn't want to lose control, he want to do everything they want so he could fit in this world they say he belonged to, but it was all too heavy now to obey and be so stupid...Jaemin look down again on the restored flowers on his hand and Mark look for any answer in Jaemin's body language. "I though this anniversary will be different from my nightmares, but it was something I am more afraid of".Gripping on the pointy edges Jaemin's palm started to bleed, flow and crawling as it drip on the ground, while his tears slide down his cheeks."When you're angry, release it""When you are angry at something throw it away, hiding it in your hurt will only hurt more" those were Jeno's word last night, a guy Jaemin "barely" know.Mark panicked seeing the trickling blood on the carpet and tried to stop Jaemin but the male raise the resin box and throw it across the room, on the wall against their bed. It was a loud bang as the glass-like resin scattered on their bed along with the petals of the roses and fatal stems.Mark freeze, hand's raise on the air, too late to amend everything. Jaemin turn to Mark as they met eyes, Jaemin was in pain.I'm sorry..I'm so sorryPlease forgive me."The bed are filled with broken resin, I suggest we should not sleep together for the meantime. Well it's not like we are an actual couple right? So why bother" Jaemin said, walking away and going pass through Mark who was left inside their room broken and guilty of everything.Everything was messed up, how can this ever be end to a smile?⚜⚜⚜The university began, everyone need to be back on track on their study. Jaemin drown himself on studying, band-aids surrounding his hands and palm as he try doing his laboratory subject."You seem distracted Nana" Chenle mentioned, between class. "It's nothing" Jaemin said. He actually doesnt know, but deep inside he feel like he wad boiling in anger despite so many hours had passed, it was as if someone is telling him to break free, and do something. Wild.He then stare at the scapel he was holding, stained with blood from the frog their are doing some dissection procedure, curiously seeing the frog's open body, with it's heart constantly beating.Lunch came, some of Jaemin's blockmates immediately went to the bathroom to puke after that dissection lesson while Jaemin doesn't seem so affected. Same as Chenle, maybe they have strong stomach.They got to the cafeteria while Chenle gladly show Jaemin what he had cook, het Jaemin's eyes wondered in the hall and catch a glimpse of someone. That dude who ordered him to throw plates when he is angry or stressed.He was with someone familliar yet before Jaemin could figure who that familliar guy was, He catches Jeno staring back wt him, he was caught looking at their table, so Jaemin's eyes widen and quickly looks away, and down back to Chenle. Since kun finally got there with the others; Ten and then Taeyong as well."You will be going tonight?" Ten asked Jaemin as they started eating and Jaemin only gave a subtle nod, "They will probbably talk racheting words about me if I don't" Jaemin said, as everyone agreeing. Since Chenle will come to represent his Clan as well.Another meeting another auction, another night that he need to act tough, and act as the "Na Jaemin" brat they are at least respecting not to kill yet.Yet he expected this, this old dudes degrading him specially Mr. Kim in his never ending disappointment agenda, he wasn't even a Na and only a close business partner. Mr. Huang was also there that means Renjun was there with Mark. Fuck."You look displeased Mr. Na" one Japanese member called out when they finally got called for the initiate the auction party. "Might be in his dry days, too lonely in the night? Why not pick a boy here?" One then added, while Renjun watches him over up close as he was incharge of their bidding process, and Zhong's decline the invite as they bought enough diamond stacks on last week's bidding.In short, Jaemin was alone in this fight.Everyone is squeezing him, making him a fool in every second that had passed by. "How was China little Huang, I heard Mr. Na's husband went with you".Jaemin stayed strong, but he wanted to cry so bad. Renjun side-eye him and then smile. "Yes, I was with him for a week" Renjun answered making other elderly laugh while looking at Jaemin.Despite Jaemin sitting on the surperiors chair, having the trillion of dollars button as he had dozen. He was still belittle like this. He lowered his head, biting his lips.By law accords in black rose, the bidding starts in five hundred thousand dollars, that is for jewelries, gems and diamonds start in a million. While one slave or man/woman starts in ten million.It was just a tiny penny for everyone, and the highest bid win the price, that was the purpose of why they are here, not to bully Jaemin. "As I have predicted, you look so blooming nowadays, Mark really know how to water his flower" one said, "Yes, I was his favorit--""Start the bidding" Jaemin interrupted the conversation that irritated him which made everybody laugh and smile in success. They triggered the weak Na once again.ThrowThrowSmashAnd disintegrated them all.As the red curtain opened to reveal the first item, everyone was still examining it's worth as the emcee announce it's background and Jaemin already pressed his button, not even trying to finish any description of the jewelry."Y-yes Mr. Na 1 billion dollars...are you sure?" The emcee was shocked as well, and whisper started."I knew it, he is dumb about this stuff"."Bidding a billion for a mere grams of diamond, idiot"."He is exactly useless"."He is an obvious imbecile, puppet"."No" Jaemin answered, and look at Renjun who had such mocking face. "I will buy everything in worth of 1 billion dollars each, I will buy every jewelry, artifacts, and slave one billion each-- no I will buy those slaves hmm three billion dollars to signify a "third party" each".Everyone turn quiet, look at Jaemin more shocked. Even the emcee was left speechless. "A-all total eight sla-slaves? Sir?" The emcee try to correct."Yes" Jaemin answered"U-um...I will calculate it then--- everything with the stated price is a total of 50 billion" The emcee announced, and everyone look at Jaemin with much surprise and panicked when Jaemin finally press the gold button, an automatic button that will deposit the requested amount, no limits."Everything is sold! For Mr. Na, therefore the bidding had concluded" The emcee announce with everything just stunned and in the state of shock as Jaemin casually walk out of the room, showing who is the boss in this world."What did you say?!" Mark panicked as Renjun rushed to get Mark on the upper floor of the facility, "why did he do that?!" Mark asked confused, "How the fuck would I know?!""He brought all the things he bought including the slave in your office, and no one can get in, you have to barge in there Jaemin is going mental!" Renjun warned so Mark quickly went down the underground floor, everyone was creating commotion as Jaemin started to become unusual. "No one is getting out in that room yet, even the butler" one said."What the hell is wrong with your husband" Mr. Huang stand next to Mark, as they were all standing infront of the steel two-way door that only Mark and Jaemin can enter. "I knew this kid would be no good, he have no manners, reckless and--"The old mans stopped when Mark started to glare at him, " One more word about my husband and I will kill every single family member you have, pedo" Mark threatened which made the old man backs away.Mark attempted to enter, Renjun and other guards behind him.The door is face recognition that is why only two can access this room. The door slowly opened welcoming countless of corpse, guards, first maids and butlers along with the slaves wearing nothing.It flooded the entire room while Jaemin wipe the dripping blood on the katana Hansol gave him years back ago with the white handkerchief he receive from someone; someone that looks like him(?)His gaze then met Mark who was shocked as Mark try to walk and approach Jaemin yet as soon as he step on the supposed white carpet, turned dark red. It was soaked with blood that oozes on Mark's shoes making him back away."Is there a problem? Love?" let's pretend marry right? So love is allowed?
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
"Those action, are they alike to the Jaemin before" Jaemin asked as Yangyang scribble on his paper. Gulping. As photos of the crime Jaemin had comitted sprawled on the table. Eleven slaves down, blood pooled the floor and their faces are undistinguished. "I read in different mafia books that one is brutal, don't you think it's a fitting description"."Yes, but one doesn't kill out of pleasure or rage, it is always about business" Yangyang said, Jaemin raise his brows. Ever since that day holding that sword displayed on the Na's office, Jaemin felt indifferent, it was like his heart kept on accelerating. Soon enough he will definitely catch his own breathe."This is business matters, in terms of showing, and making sense of the hierarchical terms of Black rose, they seem to forgot it" Jaemin said, playing with his glass of wine.With the odd feeling, he also find the taste of wine, acceptable. Weirdly since he find those bitter on his first taste when he woke up. "It seems that you are slowly adapting Jaemin's common habbit and manners" Yangyang said and Jaemin tilt his head with that statement."How come"."Crossed legs, slowly rocking it as you answer something you are unsure of"
Yangyang said and Jaemin notice his own behavioural changes this passed few weeks. Leaving afar from Mark as of the moment because of the rage builf by each other after that slave massacre."It's just making my head hurt, just tell me my memories, I hate doing this sessions whilst feeling like a fool not knowing my own action" Jaemin said, leaning his back on the soft leather sofa, massaging the bridge of his nose frustrated."I...I don't feel like, I'm the one fitting to say it. I'm not belong to your own personal space to know you best" Yangyang said, with Jaemin groaning. "I can't ask Mark, but he is the only one that I know who knows well that Jaemin before" Jaemin groan, Yangyang shrugged."Think hard, that's it for now, I have to pick Eleven from primary school" Yangyang said, tugging his suit to come neat and stood up. "If ever you retain your memories, I suggest you to calm down and don't, never act on your impulses" Yangyang advices, and Jaemin didn't answer back a cue for Yangyang to leave.They were in the Na's rest house where it was isolated by nothing but red roses around the white house, a design Hyunmin Na likes, yet this house carry red roses while the main house hold white pure roses.Jaemin carry the glass of wine between his fingers, making his way to the balcony where the row of roses are perfectly viewed. Nothing but red.Those red, blood dripping on their mouth, one even cried with blood trailing his cheeks, the ruffled white carpet slowly consuming the pigment of the blood pooled by those people.Those thought and visionary made Jaemin gulp, they kept on running inside his head. The cries, the pleading of different voices, the shrieks of pain as he slowly plant his sword deeper on that naked woman's chest.Someone who can help him answer the question in his head. If not Mark, if not his father...who?⚜⚜⚜Jaemin park his car to a house quite familliar to him. No maids, no guard. Not even a gate, it was an open house in the middle of trees, welcoming the lost ones that had never been found.It was nothing but a quite atmosphere, as renaissance painting lined up the opening hallway. Jaemin visioned this house as something else. Gulping as he finally hear a familliar humming. The stairs goes spiral that made something alike an illusion. The stillness and peace was not helping. Windows are open for the afternoon sun to peek while the red tinted curtains are placed accordingly for one reason. For it not to be stained by red blood.He went up, lost as it seems, yet the humming came close."A visitor"She called, and Jaemin froze as he was about to open the two-way door. "Bold enough to enter my house. Will this be my son-in-law" She called."Yes mother" Jaemin answered, as Bea insisted for him to call him that. She was also there when Jaemin woke uo after his long coma. A woman who never display herself in public, never associate herself to the organization and live alone in thid palace like mansion."Come in son" Bea then said, and Jaemin obeyed opening the door seeing the woman on a spacious bathtub, wonder why her bathe water was red. Well red petals scattered, and also two different individuals float on the water, the woman was in her relax state.No wrinkle, and still have the reflexes of one tiger. Holding her cigar, naked under that ruby like water."My heart warms so much that you visited me, you should have said so I could clean up some stuff" She said with a soft yet menace of a smile. Wait for me at the library room next to this, I shall get ready to welcome you" The woman said as she slowly stand up making Jaemin panic and turn around avoiding to see her Mother-in-law's naked body.He wasn't interested of any boobs or anythinh but he was being respectful. "How flustered, you saw my naked body before, I am your mother I usually bathe with you when you are young" Bea said yet Jaemin kept his back facing the woman who slowly wore her robe." I'll meet you at the library then" Jaemin said and went out quickly, feelimg a bit embarassed.Jaemin did and sigh, The library was cozy enough to keep him warm until his mother in law come. The whole reason of why this house have no maids was because she killed them all, Bea was like those famous fighting fishes that doesn't like to be with someone around them most of the time.She had no bodyguards because she doesn't need one, she was the ruthless type. A weird woman who build a famous pharmaceutical to hide her dirty deeds of experimentation among humans."Did you wait long?" Ms. Bea came with a small platter of sliced peaches and black tea. "No... I'm alright" Jaemin replied while the woman sat down infront of him, with only the coffee table between them."This is one disadvantage of having no maid, you have to get it on your own. Well I also can consider this as an exercise, I'm getting old year by year despite the lack of wrinkles" Bea said getting her own cup of tea."So what brings you here my darling? I bet something important" she said sipping on her tea, " I also heard the havoc you made last week, I'm nothing but proud" Bea said, smiling, putting down her tea, legs crossed, hands posture flex her diamond rings."It is about my memory lost that I have been retrieving"."Hmm"."I have been in several session and it has been a year, but I still have few to none of my memories on specific years, like none not even a blur" Jaemin said, he was bothered. He had no other people to talk to but her, he had gone down to her last resort. "I want to know who am I as I slowly grow up, because it is bothering me the most, all that I remember are the stuff when I was young but I know for sure I had change this passed few years." Jaemin added."But you can clearly remember my son" Bea said, and Jaemin nodded. "But I can't when it comes to Mark--""Mark is not my son" Bea quickly declined and Jaemin froze yet frown. "B-but he is also your biological son" Jaemin said. Ms. Bea look away."I may be the one who birthed him, but I was never his mother. My only son is Minhyung, I still have a small tolerance over him, he may look like my son but I can kill him with one bullet" Bea said, "The only last resort and reason I am not killing him is because I don't want to break my son-in-law's heart" She added."That bastard, you loved him so much even back then, so I restrained as this is no longer my business, I long have no connect to the Na, I just maintain the role as your mother in law, You were stupid but smart enough" she clicked her tongue, "That's you before"."Since Minhyung disappeared I disassociated myself to black rose; they were a bunch of goons of a guys an elegant woman doesn't belong there. Also there is no reason for me to associate, Mark is not my successor, you are since Minhyung is practically obsessed with you, Mark..."Ms. Bea clicked her tongue, " that guy is a stranger to my blades, if I ever see him, I will not hesitate to kill him"."As for your memories, you were very secretive then ever since you lose trust at everybody after Minhyung's disappearance so I have no tracks of your exact behaviours and story" Ms. Bea said."Everything when I was in highschool was nothing but a blur of black, I was finding Hansol last year but I found him dead the year that I have recollection" Jaemin stated his concern. "You killed him Jaemin" Ms. Bea was straight forward. Jaemin gasp as he widen his eyes."The Jaemin behaviour let his craziness break his head. Maybe you lost light because you lost the person you love..""I did love before, It was painful to be replaced, so I killed him with the witch he was meeting behind close doors" Bea said, smilinh remembering gruesome events on her younger years. Fetching the tea again. "You know, We had similarities" Ms. Bea realized."Mark was never contente of you, it is already an old tale. Maybe he got his shitty father's genes, it works that way" Ms. Bea said, " but you are not so loyal yourself, back then Hyunmin was enraged when Mark destroyed you but you destroyed Mark then, with the double of pain" Bea said."I ...cheated too?" Jaemin got confuse. So the reason Mark doesn't want him to remember the past is because of Jaemin rebellious personality back then. " I don't care about your feelings towards now, but one thing is for sure, you weakened yourself the day you woke up and thought Mark was your loving partner, but now you saw the world you live in, you feel that affection isnt enough of a weapon in a crucial love" Bea advices."Don't worry as a token of gift, if ever you finally straighten up your head, and let go of that puppet, I'll kill him as you dispose him, he had no power in your world he is nothing but a worthless weapon that failed it's entire purpose" those were the woman's final words before standing up. "Eat this, appreciate since I baked it, I will go to my respective business for today, you may wonder at Minhyung's room if you want" Ms. Bea said before leaving the library and Jaemin can only sigh.Dumbfounded by all of this information. He was filled by nothing but more question of his original personality."I want to go home" Jaemin whisper to himself, as he was in pieces, and he couldn't figure to reassemble everything again. He is now regretting falling for Mark (UwU book promotion.anyway) the moment he woke up, His mother-in-law was right. He thought was someone who loves him truly. Though everything that Mark show is coldness and unbelongingness.He goes warm when their body collide, he kisses Jaemin like he was melting, he hugs and sink himself on Jaemin's warmth, but Mark lack the affirmation the loyalty and the symbol of faithfulness.He keep repeating that their arrangement right now was nothing but mere business that is favorable for each other's status, that the string to them must be visible but will never be attached.But he says I love youBut he goes home for meBut he ...Jaemin covering his weeping face, conflicted of his own feelings. Why does this heart so stubborn. How did the Na Jaemin before endure all this and love Mark in ways Jaemin now couldn't even understand.People keep saying he was loving Marl then, a love that is equal. Like if Mark stab him on the heart, he stabbed back.The house was nothing but empty he found no use to enter Minhyung's room so he went down and went inside his car, aiming to go homeWithout realizing eyes is watching over him, on Minhyung's window."Too bad you can't meet him today too""We have so much time, let him realize his sad past before we break him down more".⚜⚜⚜"Nana" Mark froze as Jaemin enter their shared house, Jaemin wasn't expecting Mark to be home at this time as well.As he enter the house exhausted with his own thoughts, his name got called and eyes widen when Mark was just infront of him. Jaemin quickly looked away as he realize his and Mark's eyes immersed on each other. "Did you finally got to cool down" Mark asked, he had this worried tone that always throw Jaemin off more. Adding to his never ending confusion."I just went home to rest at my bedroo--" Jaemin jump as he flinch, feeling how quickly Mark approached him tangle her fingers around Jaemin's. Jaemin panicked anx try to pull his hands away."I'm sorry Nana" Mark said, head low.if ever you finally straighten up your head, and let go of that puppet, I'll kill him as you dispose him.The warning that Jaemin remained cautious of. Jaemin look at Mark showing a vulnerable state, "she will kill him...If I give up on him" He whisper to himself. He wanted to let go, he wanted to push Mark the edge away from him but he can never forgive himself, and maybe can't accept if Mark dies.Jaemin loves Mark. Maybe more than how the Jaemin before loves Mark.As he always have the urge to accept Mark, a martyr."I'm sorry, I know everything is hard" Mark stated, "Why are you saying sorry. You..aren't the one who killed those slaves. Thats the problem right now right" Jaemin tried to remain his rock of a heart."But those action of your, I may be one of the reason you acted like that. I am not the greatest of a person, everyone wanted to end me so I need to keep myself as a steel" Mark confesses holding onto Jaemin's hand. The trembles were felt by Jaemin."You're only using me" Jaemin whisper, as a tear fall down his left eye. Mark look up and saw Jaemin's broken state, trying his best to remain strong and not stuttering. Unfortunately those words were unaudible for Mark."Please bare with me Jaemin, I know you had enough, please I need you" Mark said and Jaemin cried more, "But I love you".And, need and love are two different things."I promise, everything will be better in the future, trust me okay" Mark said, caressing Jaemin cheeks that is soaked with tears. The future, will there be any future for them.You keep on playing with my heartYou are at it again, making me a foolBecause you know I love you.And I get weak against your touches and voiceYou make me hopeful in this darkness.Jaemin look up to Mark, eyes contact each other. Mark had those glassy eyes as well. With the second click of the second on the nearby clock, Mark and Jaemin lips locked together.Jaemin was feeling but nothing, just the continous pain yet Mark warms, and kisses cover the lies Jaemin had known.As he slowly goes with the wave because it was Mark. How, how could I stab you back that can hurt you more?Jaemin's hand intertwined around Mark's neck as Mark slowly lift him up from the ground. Elevating the kisses, involving the tongue swirling on both of their mouth. Jaemin gasp as he got pinned on the wall by Mark as they continue to kiss while Jaemin simultaneously rub her lower part against Mark creating a frustrating friction."Let's continue on our bed" Mark said, cutting the kisses as he also pepper Jaemin with small ones around his forehead, nose and cheeks. Jaemin can only agree as he was already consumed on the haze and pleasure.Nothing can beat the physical affection felt when it is done by someone you love. Yet Jaemin thoughts keep on and on, as they went up to the stairs with Mark carrying Jaemin all the way to their room that had been abadoned for a week.Mark was gentle, as he placed Jaemin on their bed with much care, still giving small kisses now however on Jaemin's neck. Mark undress Jaemin, button by button as he travel his lips down brushing it on Jaemin's chest.Jaemin could only catch her own breathe.Jaemin tuck the hem of Mark's shirt and Mark understood the signal so he lean up, and seductively took of his white shirt infront of Jaemin. The younger watch that unfold in awe, as his legs spread and Mark was place in between it ready to devour him. Jaemin always wonder, was he never enough that Mark still seek pleasure to other people."You look so beautiful Nana" Mark compliment. Did he say this to the other too?Jaemin wanted to be drunk by pleasure right now as he never wanted to remember all the pain, just for a moment, let him forget everything.So Jaemin pulled Mark for another kiss as they slowly turn to completely naked bodies. Jaemin bite his lower lip as he grips on the sheets of the bedcover while Mark prepare him.Two fingers in and he was already releasing moans, eyes shut close absorbing all the pleasure he was feeling. "A--hmgh"The third finger entered, sliding smoothly as Mark is professional in sort of things. Mark watch Jaemin's pleasured face as his own half-lidded eyes feel excited and frustrated. He wanted to put it in quickly yet he doesn't want to hurt Jaemin. Mark pull his fingers and position his dick on the rim of Jaemin's hole. Slowly leaning down to Jaemin's face, Mark kisses Jaemin's flushed cheeks and made his lips against Jaemin's ear."I love you"Jaemin wanted to cry, to go against it yet he cries more as he gasp when Mark entered his tip after saying those word making Jaemin speechless. Mark also gasp, and groan as he slowly put it all, inches by inches. His own arm trembling supporting his body as he hovered Jaemin.The heat of Jaemin's inside made Mark shiver, as he can only curse the feeling of euphoria he is undergoing. "Fuck love your so tight".Stop calling me love"Should we create someone now?" Mark then said, out of daze and everything. It was like a drug. And Jaemin was not down, he can never a accept to have a child with Mark.Because he fear that child will get just get hurt as well."n-not now" Jaemim then say, stuttering as he was also trying to endure Mark's massive size. Coming out that his voice sound breathless. "I-I'm not..ready"Mark then kiss Jaemin lips, with a bitter smile. "Okay Nana" Mark then pulled out and fetch a condom. As Jaemin only watch him do so. They made love, a countless of time until both had enough that means when both finally faintedMark woke up with Jaemin in his arms, a pang of pain surround him. Guilty.He watch Jaemin's features presented to him in this morning dew. Jaemin smile of his own warmth and Mark couldn't be hurt so much more. "I'm sorry Nana, I can't show you that I love you now, but I will...when I became brave enough".Mark whisper, and planted a kiss on Jaemin's forehead, hugged Jaemin more as he sinks in for more sleep. As Jaemin was Mark's rest, as he was sleepless this entire week, worried for Jaemin.He is scared that Jaemin will give up on him. Like how other peoples do.⚜⚜⚜"Nana, I was supriesed the moment I woke up you weren't there anymore" Mark said, as the second he open his eyes the boy he was embracing dissapear from his arms to the point he panicked, and fortunately meet Jaemin busy cooking for their lunch."I was making meal for us" Jaemin timidly answer and Mark nodded clueless of the initial motive. Jaemon prepared their meal on the table and both of them have a nice meal."I want you to attend today's club meeting" Jaemin then said, Mark bestowed that honor to Jaemin when the other started his college life as well. Mark was taking his pre-law then. "Why is there something important you would like to discuss"."Not at all...I just want to apologize of what I did, it causes problem from the organization and since heirs of Black rose resides on our club, I'd like them to pass through my apologize to their parents" Jaemin said, "You don't need to do that"."But if I don't I would feel even more guilty" Jaemin said with a sigh, and Mark find it odd for Jaemin to do such, yet this Jaemin had a different heart, a foreign heart that is still developing inside this pure evil side of the world."Okay, I'll be there as your support"."Thank you Minhyung".A pang shot inside Mark's heart as he gulp and lower his head. He wasn't Minhyung, he hated to be call Minhyung, but as if he had any choice, the things in the past already imprinted his destiny. He will be cage inside Minhyung's identity till he die.The meeting was held the afternoon, Haechan wasn't sure if he should attend since Jaemin said it was only for senior members. Jeno was even sad that they weren't included.Yet if he wasn't included. Why did Jaemin ask for his number earlier. Now having him get a text to proceed to a certain place. He gulps reading the mere location, and the sign that it was Jaemin."Where are you going hyuck?" Jeno asked, that Haechan flinched. "I want to get some fresh air" Haechan said."Don't say you'll drink alone again" Jeno click his tongue and Haechan quickly shook his head. "No...I'll be at the roof top. You know I saw Mark in the welcoming party"..Haechan confesses "Haechan"."No its okay, I want to be alone...this time".Haechan immediately leave, leaving Jeno in their apartment. Mark was a critical damage to Haechan indeed but he wasn't so weak anymore. After all the pain he had endured, he learn that pain can turn numb when its more painful. Until he couldn't feel anything anymore..Yet this escaping from Jeno felt like Deja Vu in some sort.Earlier"I come here infront and arrange this meeting for me to apologize about the things I have cause to everyone" Jaemin infront. All of the eldest children involve in the organization are well behave sitted, quietly listening, including chenle and the elder generation like the ex-leader of the club Taeyong, and also the last successor after him, Mark."I will remain hold the gratitude of my seniors that take care of me while I recover to my sickness because I am a new me" Jaemin said, "I feel like I was reborn again, bearing this soft heartened soul, I view you all superior as I am new"."Too new for this world that sometimes I cannot bear it".Mark watches Jaemin do his monologue at a far back, "He is obviously faking his smile" Renjun clicked his tongue, "Well at least he is trying" Chenle retorted."He wasn't too shameless like the person I am facing now" Chenle said, with a mocking voice, looking at Renjun with a menace smirk. Renjun rolled his eyes as the attitude of the younger indeed is existential. "You aren't welcome here, yet bold of you to visit when you know yourself is univited, maybe your face thickened after receiving so many slap by your pedoic father" Chenle said crossing his arms and Kun beside him frown, and shook his shoulder to stop fighting.Renjun was about to answer back but Mark also stop him, better prevent it before it create under fire inside this club auditorium.Mark was focus on Jaemin speech so he didn't utter any word and just grip on Renjun's arm yet attention is still to the angel infront. Renjun just clicked his tongue and ignored the other that is pissing him off."That is why I suggest as to convince everyone for my sincere apology I will like to be blessed" Jaemin chirped, and everyone got confuse. "I want to held a welcoming ceremony for the new me".Mark got alarmed by it, the blessing ceremony is different to a typical welcome ceremony. It usually held for a new outsider recruit, it can be they join because they are capable, or one of the original member had a devoted lover that decide to join in the club. That person will be "blessed" in a way that he will be receiving everyone, except his lover.Something Haechan had undergo before he move to Seoul with Jeno. Something that Mark hated. His very own nightmare.⚜⚜⚜"This...is the Na residence...why...did Jaemin make me go here?" Haechan frown, as he stand infront the main door. A maid then approach him a familliar one, it was not a maid but someone more close to Jaemin."Mr. Na is waiting for you with the others, please enter his personal room".
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Haechan was anxious, well who wouldn't be when Haechan kept feeling something bad is going to happen. The hall was quiet as they walk on the straight line, walking and following the maid who escorted him outside.Why, why was he in this house again."You may enter this room" The maid said, looking down, no one is giving any contact to him, all of them are head low waiting for something. What were they doing. Then Haechan's heart races.Did...Did Jaemin remember who he was?! Haechan walks backward when he realizes it and shivers ran down his spine. Was his presence gives Jaemin a big impact to remember the past that the most are trying to bury. But this is what Chenle wanted. For ....what exactly."Mr. Na is waiting for you, you may enter" the maid repeated but Haechan wasn't so sure anymore if he should follow that orders blinded so he hesitated. "I-I change my m--""Oh, you're here! I have been waiting for you" Jaemin suddenly opened the door himself, hair loose down and wet, wearing a loose pink robe that reveal an amount of his shoulder and collarbones. Haechan gone speechless and move more backwards afraid of Jaemin's next move. "Come, everyone is waiting for us" Jaemin signaled Haechan."Us?""Yeah, come, don't worry it will be fun" Jaemin chirped, as if he was genuinely all giggly. Haechan knew Jaemin, or shall we say, the old Jaemin who can get a grammy award in terms of acting.The way he act can cover what lingers in his thought. Those who are great in manipulating, the most dangerous people.Jaemin hold onto Haechan's wrist and the other panic as he was hold lock and got pulled inside. "Na--Jaemin...wh-where"All panic was sub-side a little as they enter another hall area. It was nothing but a hall, though there was a table where a wine bottle and glass filled with cranberries was placed. Haechan watch how Jaemin walked to the table and pour two of the wine glass, even seductively bite the berries looking at Haechan, making Haechan gulp."Cheers?" Jaemin said, offering the other wine glass to Haechan with Haechan srill being wary and hesitant. "Why..are we drinking"."You know I hate alcohol, but this helps loose myself up" Jaemin said, in one chug, clear the wine in the glass and pick up the left berries inside the glass. Haechan slowly place the glaas against his lips and felt the coldness of the liquid, until it land on his tongue and touches his bitter and sweet senses.He almost choke himself when two berries went along inside."You know...this berries...aren't that so ordinary" Jaemin said looking at the one remaining berries. Haechan widen his eyes."I-is it poisonous!" Haechan panicked as Jaemin didn'r respond quickly, Haechan was about to make himself puke the berries when Jaemin laugh hysterical."You are so over the top, its not poisonous, silly you, also why would I poison you" Jaemin said, with those smug smile Haechan shiver on ever pierce of Jaemin's eyes. "It's not like you have done something wrong right, I don't have any reason to poison you, right?" Jaemin jerked his head on the side still bearing the smile.And that is when Haechan finally felt the effect. His heart rises, his skin felt like it was burning and his head started to feel hazy. He felt how Jaemin go to closer. Knees felt weak, breath felt loss."It wasn't poison, its something wilder"Jaemin whispered that to Haechan's ears making Haechan tremble more. Jaemin then lift his head to face him. "Should we continue where we left off in that welcome party?"Without waiting for Haechan to reply Jaemin placed his lips on Haechan's and the aphrodisiac had been working its magic as Haechan felt needy, one last string was holding his sanity, not too long and he will lose control.He replied on Jaemin's kiss more hungrily, deeper until they loose breath. It was like a switch was turned to Haechan as this room turn so hot and dark.Their lip-locked was ended by Jaemin with Haechan confuse because he wanted some more. Jaemin only giggled and intertwined their fingers together."Come with me, they are waiting for us" Jaemin repeated, "Who is us?""Us" Jaemin said opening another door, which is a golden one, in color. There he was presented by multiple men, naked kissing each other in a wide circular bed and now their attention was with the two of them who just entered.The room was fulled with mirror-like walls and a big chandelier on top, there was nothing more in the room but the wide bed and the falling white curtain that appeals the beauty of the sensual scenery.Wait..this..seem ..familliar."Mark..Mark I don't know if I can do this" He plead, "But that's the tradition a new unrelated member should be blessed by all members" one senior member warned."Could you skip this to him hyung" Mark said, pulling Haechan behind, "Huh, who are you to decide..when you aren't Minhyung"."I..I" Haechan was about to oppose but he met Jaemin lips once again, until he was pushed in the bed with his daze self, and because of the drug he consumed fermented inside those cranberries. He was weak to push four different guys, holding his legs and arm so he can be in place no matter what. slowly stripping him while Jaemin's robe himself slip down revealing his body."Could you bless me too Haechan".[Earlier]Mark stood in the dark studio, just staring at the transparent glass, "Deja vu?"Renjun entered the room, with Mark not replying to any of his tease. This room was like a small theater one, yet instead of a big screen to play a movie, this theater room purpose is to watch a live porn. Black leather chair placed and a bar of alcohol dominant the wall, of course infrot was a big glass that seem to be a mirror from the other side, but wasn't in their side."It hasn't been starting and you are all boiled up, you also look like that when Haechan was also placed there" Renjun said, then laugh. "If you find this as a joke then leave before I completely lost my restraint" Mark said, jaw gritted in anger, yet Renjun insisted to stay.The show seems interesting. "Are.you afraid that Jaemin will replace you one day?" Renjun asked, "When you aren't even Minh--""I said ENOUGH!" Mark shouted in anger making Renjun flinched. Mark eyes were dark and dry, as he got back on staring the neat circular bed.A few more minutes Chenle came inside as well and even scoff seeing Renjun, and made sure he seat far apart Mark and Renjun. "Oh, it's starting".Senior members crowd the bed as the list goes on. Taeyong, Jaehyun, Johnny, Sungchan, Yuta, Hendery and Kun was there. The Senior who hold position on the music club, and the final highschool president of the club Sungchan.Others are also inside with Mark, they would like to be in lowkey because Mark aura right now is blazing in fire."You should go there too ten" Jungwoo said and Ten chuckled, "Jaemin is too fragile for too many provider, and look there is literally seven of them there" Ten said, "And worry about Mark not me" Ten whisper looking at the front as Mark break his third glass of gin,And the queen came in carried by Jaehyun. Placed on the bed, what familliar, Jaemin was wearing Mark's cardigan as the only piece of clothing.Placed down the bed with Taeyong as the one kissing Jaemin first and Johnny taking the buttons one by one. Mark's eyes focuses on Jaemin's face. Afraid to see the male to feel pleasure from someone else.Yuta and Kun shared Jaemin's nipple, making Jaemin escape noise in between Taeyong and his kiss. Other started to masterbate watching Jaemin shiver under them, all vulnerable, legs so white and smooth as no bruises were placed. No ownership, and Mark regretted that.Jaehyun goes down, and started to lick Jaemin after putting an amount of lube on his tongue making Jaemin gasp, feeling the coldness of the lube and the friction of Jaehyun's tongue licking the rim of his hole. Arms and hands capsulated by Taeyong as if he was in handcuffs. His chest was covered by lovebites and teeth marks."Hmm" he sang making Taeyong smile and caresses Jaemin's cheeks ending the kiss admiring Jaemin's pleasured face, red as his eyes shuts close. One finger got inserted by Jaehyun, but who gives mercy for a whore.Well, none of them. As Johnny inserted his finger too. "Let's make you busy"They manhandled Jaemin's body. Now knees down and in all fours. Three fingers, namely own by Johnny, Jaehyun and Sungchan prepped Jaemin's whole, while Jaemin is busy simultaneously put two dick inside his mouth own by Taeyonng and Yuta. Well Kun and Hendery gone to their own business and made out.All are having fun, while Mark broke down watching everything that is happening. "No condoms are allowed".Mark turn to Renjun confuse, "What?""Have you forgot the rule of blessing?""But Jaemin can" Mark stumble on his own word, "Jaemin know that, its like he is aiming to get pregnant by one of this man.Mark was about to stand up but Chenle caught him in place, "No intruder in the blessing too Mark"."Are you fucking crazy Jaemin could get pregnant by one of them" Mark growled at Chenle, but Chenle face him unfazed of his anger. "I bet everyone inside, in that room know that, and also know your temper, so don't worry".Jaemin hugged Taeyong since he was blindfold by Taeyong himself while the second dick which is Hendery's enter inside Jaemin, they started to fuck him, "Lift your head Nana" Jaemin reminded of that voice, it was Jaehyun so he open his mouth wide and receive it also in his mouth.Two dicks fucking his hole, and one dick fucking his mouth. Chains locked his neck as he was treated as a meal, a bitch as he was red in every inch of his body, sweet scream and his noise echoed to the room where spectators are sitted.He need to make everyone cum. "Angh-Ahh, hyung" Jaemin moaned as the one entering him now was Kun kissing Johnny, he was held captive.Everyone used him, hold him until his arms are bruise with their hold. Fucked him with the intent of making him bleed. And the real challenge came. Three big guys, tries to enter him making Jaemin cry, quiet literally crying as his blindfold had already been torn to such extreme and the tears in his eyes escape down his cheeks.Renjun saw how Mark hand turn to a fist holding onto the leather chair, wincing on what he was watching. It was like he was about to cry himself.Jaehyun and Johnny thrusted inside, deep inside making Jaemin fall with his weakened arms, yet Kun lifted his head, he isn't suppose to rest his lips as well.Sungchan was the third guy attempting to enter, as he gasp his ownself when the tip got in, but it seems like it was just the tip of Jaemin will literally because of multiple penetration.So he just pump his own dick, mouth ajar alike the two next to him fucking Jaemin merciless, hot breath escape his lips. As his tip tingle on the hotnesss shared to him. Until the three of them cum outside Jaemin, filling Jaemin's back with cum dripping around his body, with a hint of blood trickling on Sungchan's release, until everyone fed Jaemin, fuck him side ways, riding them, and made Jaemin open his mouth as everyone circle around him, pump their on dick waiting for their release as they moan to pleasure, with Jaemin in the middle, kneeling for them, waiting for them to release, Taeyong pulled Jaemin's hair for the boy to look up and receive his semen which Jaemin happily welcome in his mouth, and the rest also shower Jaemin with their own.In was two rounds, "It's not finish yet" Chenle said, putting more on his glass, "Why are you joining too?" Xiaojun asked, which was next to him.Chenle shooked his head with a smile, "I'm too lazy to top, I like receiving it" Chenle cleared and one "unwelcomed" chinese boy seem.to eavesdropped as he scoff and rolled his eyes.Mark watch how the seven male wrap the weak Jaemin in a pink robe, seeing the visible droplet of red blood on the bed, Jaemin was placed on each other arms, as the boy receive kisses to each one. Mark at that moment want to lose control but everyone in this room made him realize he had no right to stop it.Then again he wasn't Minhyung, Haechan before wasn't this extreme. Only four members was there while Jaemin requested more men. Mark was a little relieved no one attempted to release inside Jaemin. With that he was a little thankful yet he was still in rage. This world, this society is disgusting.Something worst than hell."Where is he going, after three dick he can still walk decently" Renjun confusedly watch Jaemin kiss all of the seven and stood up out of the room.Mark was confused as well, maybe it was really finished, he was praying it to be finish even though he know the god wouldn't even answer his plead. Seems like he was forgiven.Five minutes passed and that is when Mark concluded it was done, as the seven started to get heated up without Jaemin, "I'm leaving to escort Jaemin" Mark said standing up, "Wait I said it isn't finish yet" Chenle said.Well he organized the thing done in this blessing ceremony so Mark was confused on what more do they have to do. Jaemin already received everyone what more is there left--"There's an eight person"."Fuck is that.." Taeil rang, seeing the new guy enter the room. Renjun frown himself, "Thats Donghyuck".Mark eyes widen when Jaemin kissed Haechan with a smile and everything sinks down in him, No..I-I need to stop this.Before he can leave Chenle locked him again, "no intruder, remember" Chenle said with a smirk and Mark was in rage, he pulled Chenle on the collar."YOU PLANNED THIS DIDN'T YOU! You're the one who take him here again! I TOLD YOU NEVER MEDDLE WITH MY BUSINESS ZHONG CHENLE!" Mark shouted, eyes bloodshot, as the anger rush in his blood pinning chenle against the wall without noticing the scene uncover behind that glass wall."I don't know what you're talking about Mark, but it isn't my fault" Chenle denied. "Hey Mark stop that" Ten try to stop their commotion but goes back when he saw how angry Mark was, he was close on breaking Chenle's neck."I erased Haechan in Jaemin's memory, he would never approach Haechan by default" Mark said in rage, "B-but what if he does" Chenle said, well having the hard time to speak since Mark's hold is too tight."I never made him approach Haechan, nor push Haechan to him, Jaemin approach Haechan blind about the truth, and Your stupid ex-bitch approach back--hm-ugh-- maybe getting revenge from your past shitty action".Mark was too guilty to choke Chenle to death, well the chinese boy know how to play his words. They were a businessman for a reason, The chinese boy got thrown away and Mark watch in horrid how Haechan made out with Jaemin, both are now naked, as Jaemin settle down on top of Jaemin.Jaemin was smiling, he was smiling in the kiss while Haechan cling on Jaemin to deepened the kiss. Mark's heart clench in so many reason."Jaemin..Ahh..Jaemin" Haechan called when he felt a hand started to pump his own dick hard. "Fuck me Haechan" Jaemin whisper, as if he was pleading, Haechan's whole body shiver as his hands was placed on both of Jaemin's waist. "Let's make something".Another whisper, eyes half-lidded and up, watching Jaemin position himself on top of Haechan, holding his hardening cock in position. Haechan moan feeling his tip to circle around Jaemin's swollen hole, "Jaemin".He don't know why but some people around him, just watch the two of them, just masterbating. Until Haechan attention got fully blocked as both Jaemin and him gasped when Jaemin sink down his dick.He was inside..He was inside freaking Lee Jaemin."Hmgh-Ah, Jaemin-ah" Haechan moan as Jaemin move his hips up and bounces, "Haech-"Both call their names, they weren't fucking, it sounded like they were making love, "Ki-kiss" Haechan requested and Jaemin do so and go down, still riding Haechan.As of the moment Mark was nearly on the edge of fainting, heart sinking as everyone in that room intently watch Jaemin, all read, and much more pleasured. Haechan seem to get the momentum of the room as he kissed and finally sat up, Jaemin cling and hug him, tears falling down Jaemin's cheeks. Everybody in the bed started to move."Long time no see Haech" Taeyong greeted with a smile, he felt welcome yet everything feels wrong. Jaemin was put down in missionary with Haechan hovering him, Haechan can't even process that he was fucking Jaemin, he topped, Jaemin was pleading for him, moaning below him, being recessive biting his lower lips as he shamelessly moan. Haechan then felt the shiver when a person started to kiss his back."Hmgh""I'm cumming" Haechan whisper breathless, "D-don't pull it out" Jaemin cries holding Haechan in place and Haechan restraining his whole being to not cum when Yuta lean on his back, making Haechan go in deeper inside Jaemin's inside, which reply Jaemin moaning loud and gripping on Haechan's arm."Cum inside" Yuta whisper on Haechan's ears and all his reasoning was gone after drowning in those drug berries. And did cum inside Jaemin, "Hmggh" Jaemin shut his eyes tightly hugging Haechan, as Haechan was also led tp cloud nine almost falling on top of Jaemin. Haechan pull out and saw the white fluid pulsates out of Jaemin's whole. Jaemin notice Haechan staring on his whole slowly dripping Haechan's semen."You can fill me in, I want more" Jaemin said while slowly turning his body into all fours again, "Do me till I drop"."Make them stop! Make them stop!" Mark was now creating a havoc the moment Haechan cummed inside Jaemin, Renjun watch in horror how Mark flipped two big leather sofa upside down, Xiaojun tried to stop him but was pushed away but with Jungwoo's one punch blow Mark falls down the ground, unconscious."The fuck bitch did you kill him?!" Ten retorted, as everyone seems to panic"Fuck no! That dude is made of steel he is just asleep".Renjun watch how Mark got unconscious on the ground and was lifted by butlers inside the room, he saw how watery Mark's eyes was. Now Mark knew how it feels like to slowly lose sanity because of love.⚜⚜⚜Jaemin lean in the sauna, breathing slowly after one hella of a day. His body was all sore, and his bones feel like it had all broken up. Body filled with bruises that he can't even remember who's who, from his ankle up to the nook of his chin. Bites and hickies surround them and none of that were Mark.A maid help him brush his body since he felt too weak, walking became difficult after another two rounds with Haechan being included. Remembering that Haechan, he look down and caresses his belly, that sure is a lil' swollen.Two rounds of cum filled this place."do you want snacks after you bathe?" The maid asked, and Jaemin just shook his head, "I feel...kinda full, I just want some rest"."Yes Master" The maid understood, two maids went inside as well helping Jaemin to go in his room, wearing a comfy white robe made of silk, his skin that are bruised is now smelled like red and white roses."Lee Jaemin" Mark barged inside Jaemin's personal bedroom, since that day when Jaemin throw the resin bouquet on that room, Jaemin never visited it. He hated Mark much more."how rude of you to trouble your resting husband" Jaemin spoke, as if he was a victim, slowly sitting down his we made bed. Mark didn't even listen, and went straight to Jaemin as Jaemin watch the older smoke in anger. "Drink this" Mark said throwing a plate of pills."What for"."what for?" Mark scoffs, he hate that Jaemin kept on joking around, "You fucking let a random guy fuck and release inside you, are you that needy?! You--""And You fuck that random guy Lee Mark!" Jaemin shouted back, pain, that as if he was the one at fault of everything. "I know it Mark, so its okay if your the one fucking whoever you want while I'm restricted! I don't own you and you don't Fucking own me ! So what if I'm pregnant!""I will kill that child before it was born and the two person who made it" Mark growled, it was obvious. Jaemin loves Mark, no matter how much anger, he still fell speechless when Mark hover his voice that only left him to cry."I am a stranger in this society, I may not have any authority to fucking stop anything, but theres more horrid thing I can do and most of them isaren't aware yet. So don't dare me Lee Jaemin"."Drink that pill""DRINK IT!"Jaemin flinch as his tears fall down his cheeks once again, hands trembling as he gets the pill.He get the glass of water serve to him, and look at Mark with glaring yet weak eyes putting the pill in his tongue then gulping it with the help of water. "I don't want this to happen again"."Were you angry because when we try to made love, I reject having a baby?""Yes"Well that was straightforward."Why, you don't even love me, this marriage is nothing but paper, I need a person to love, I feel miserable bearing this life, I hate you, I don't trust you but I need someone, I want to trust someone"."If theres anyone you need to trust, I'm the only one you can trust" Mark said, yet Jaemin look away, "how could I trust an impostor that tried to kill me"."please leave, I don't want to talk to you again".And Mark did without a final reply, with Jaemin watching him disappear in the room, slamming the door shut. Then make himself gagged, and puke the pill on the glass of water he drink earlier. He was never an obedient kid, and that's what he remember well.On the other hand,Haechan jump out, wakinng up remember past even yet realized he was now sleeping on his own bed. Head a bit dizzy and all circle. He look at his alarm clock and saw it was quarter to nine, luckily it was monday and he only have afternoon classes at this days."Haechan finally awake?" Jeno called outside the door, and Haechan's heart became more nervous. He visited Jaemin yesterday per the male's request, and...fuck him with several different men. Oddly familliar the room was something so known to him that he barely remember what was it about."Haechan?""Yes! Yes, coming, wait" Haechan called out to shut the boy outside, he sigh, this was messed up they move in Seoul for Jeno to move on from Jaemin and Jeno could be finally free, or be capture again with love, that is far by means getting Haechan be dragged fucking Jaemin behind his bestfriend's back."h-haechan more--""Fuck, don't remember that" Haechan whisper to himself as he groan, hitting his own head. He wash his face to cool off. Well he wish that helps."I made some breakfast" Jeno chirped when he only placed a box of cereal, an empty bowl, and milk on the counter table, well much appreciated by Haechan. "thanks" Haechan said quietly, not wanting to act suspicious, but sometimes his own face anf body behaviour can't lie, he look oddly suspicious and Jeno could notice that."Why are you so flustered so early in the morning""harder please"Haechan cough as an excuse and hide his panicking facial expression, "I-it's nothing, nothing at all"."Hmm..but where did you go last night, you came home like before an hour of the sunrise" Jeno asked, Haechan panicked more, "I-it's really nothing, Ch-chenle just wanted me to do stuff"."Aish, are you playing some kinky role play with him now,is that why you are so flustered?" Jeno asked and Haechan was about to shook his head but realize that might actually a great excuse. "N-not t-that much like that" Haechan buy that excused and goes with the flow.Jeno sigh, "People here are really wild, just say no when he asked you again to do it" Jeno said and Haechan just nodded, well nice save for him he guess. Yet even though he passed the suspicion towards Jeno, his own mind isn't giving him any rest, he even masterbated under the shower with the scene last night in his head, release calling Jaemin's neck, then punch the tiled wall and hurt his finger.Was he that pent up, "Geez, I hate myself" Haechan whisper as Jeno and him is now on their way to the University. "Haechan focus, you like Jeno, you like Jeno, You like Je""Who like me?" Jeno asked as they already got in the university and Jeno was just waiting for Haechan to go down the motorbike so he can park it. "N-no one" Haechan panicked and jump out of the bike.Up until class he was occupied that science to him was even more boring because his mind was all about that pink hair person moaning in his ears."Hey, its dismissal! Let's grab some snacks" Jeno shook the guy, staring at the wall, creating some kind of hole in the other side of the room. "Okay, okay".Haechan sigh, what should he do to cleanse his mind, well maybe a good food.And also what a luck, why at all times and place, Jaemin have to be there with Chenle, wearing some pink alike his pink robe. "Oh shit, oh shit" Haechan panicked and quickly hide behind Jeno's back making the other wonder why Haechan is acting such way.Well he notice Jaemin, Jeno find him so beautiful indeed yet he thought that Chenle was the reason why Haechan was hiding.Clueless Jeno."I didn't know, gangbang can make you blooming" Chenle said, the third joke about that blessing ceremony today."I'm surprise that you got to school" Chenle said, "Well I rested after, that's why I can't miss class in midterms" Jaemin said eating his sandwhich, well he said he was starving right now so Chenle happily tag along."Mark didn't blast on you" Chenle asked, and Jaemin look at the boy who currently have a small band-aid on his cheeks, "Well I can see that he blasted on you" Jaemin reverse the question, "I can handle him, he can't hurt me"."Thats funny because he was your assasin when you were a kid" Chenle said, snorting. Jaemin was also confuse of that.Mark's entire mission was nothing but kill him and his father. Though until now he didn't succeed any. Jaemin's father was killed by him, himself. While Mark was the one who protected Hyunmin back then.He was inside the opposing team's lair, he was their strongest weapon. He is skilled by none other but the Na HyunMin.What is he waiting before he finally decided killing Jaemin. Mark hadn't harm Jaemin physically, it was always his emotional state when Mark distanced himself to him step by step until now that they were farther apart.Jaemin want Mark to attempt and kill him, so he can have a reason to fight back. Even though Jaemin provoked him, he never raises his hand and only give threat.Jaemin have to know Mark's motive.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Hums of melody, that is what Jaemin heard, like someone was playing a soft piano music as a lullaby. Eyes flatter and he was welcomed inside the vast of dandelion, surrounding him with the sun illuminating above, covered with cotton-like clouds, like paradise, like a dream or a cut scene in a fantasy.It was as if a jumpy beat of rhythm Jaemin tried to follow it, a sound that sang to make a child go for a slumber.Jaemin frown as he stood up, he realize he was barefooted. The rough soil wasn't hard to the skin, and his body damped by thin sparkles of dandelion. The place seems familliar, yet again unfamilliar.His heart feels like it is being consumed or cloaked inside a thick blanket, wrapped around an arms.Jaemin turn his head, from left to right, only dandelions was meant to be see. Then a cry. A cry echoed on Jaemin's ear as the melody of a xylophone keeps playing, doing its best to make the child stop crying. Nonetheless Jaemin followed it, as if snow came from the ground, he ran and hit small fluffy ball that burst to the air as it fly to the sky, some are bearing tearful wishes, while others are left with empty desires.There he saw an elevated ground, where a big tree was placed highly, again, everything feels so familliar, yet he feel like he was lost. Curiousity ran to Jaemin's spirit as he took his few courage to climb that small uphill, to the vigorous tree, that seems to flourish so high and strong...."Mark"A person, whose back is facing Jaemin was what Jaemin saw, and his first instinct to call was Mark, he was familliar of his husband body proportion, no doubt this was Mark. And it was, but"Oh, Nana, I already got to stop him from crying" Mark said, as he turn around with seem to be a newborn child around his hand, "Am I great?" Mark chirped with such happiness in his eyes, while Jaemin stood their confuse.Why does his heart suddenly felt so badly hurt? Whu is it churning at the same time breaking apart.Jaemin's eyes widen, looking at Mark then the person in his arms, quietly sleeping, in comfort and affection. "Isn't he so pretty? He look exactly like you" Mark chirped again, as he became so positive in this illusion."No! No! You're not Mark! You can't fool me! He never smile at me like that! You are not Mark---"Seems like he shouted too loudly, it unfortunately woken up the angel inside Mark's arm which made the older panic and started to lull thd angel back to sleep, humming the familliar tune. Jaemin's tears started to form on his eyes, hands that turn to fist started to tremble by the view itself, how Mark try his best carrying the crying baby, making himself the swing of the baby as it seems like there was no available stroller for the baby to comfortably sleep.Why was he crying?Why is he so sad?All question blurred in his head, that he started to lose his strenght on his legs and fail, falling down the ground which made Mark panic approaching him, "A-are you alright?""Stop right there!""Shh, our angel will cry again, you wouldn't want that right?""what are you saying Mark!" Jemin shout, as teaes continue to fall down his cheeks, filled with confusion and fear, as if a stick is being stab through his heart. It was so painful."Stop! Stop smiling! Stop your lullaby! Stop!" Jaemin panicked, ears covered by his own hands and to much frustration he bent down, squishing himself in his own bubble, wishing to not be colonize by this feeling of sudden and unknown guilt and sadness."Nana""Stop it Mark! Stop""Stop""Master are you alright!" His hands are captured and stayed put, as his eyes flutter, with obvious tears dried upon his chin and cheeks. It was all a dream.Just a dream."fuck" he pulled his hands out of the concern maid's hold, brush his hair up, sighing, "That dream again" he mumble, as this wasn't his first encounter about that dream, yet even though it keep repeating several time, he always forget it when he is already inside the illusion of his head, and make belief of the scene unfolding infront of him."Should we prepare your breakfast for you?" the maid move back, as she notice that their master doesn't like unnecessary touches. " no, I insist to make it myself" Jaemin said, still massaging his forehead as it aches after trying to figure every detail of the dream.Jaemin stood up from the bed and as he got out of the room, what welcome him was Mark waiting for him to come out. A shiver ran down Jaemin's skin, reminiscent of the dream just earlier, he feel so hurt seeing Mark, he also felt afraid, he was unsure of this boiling feelings."Nana" Mark called, as his voice seems desperate, yet Jaemin did his best to ignore Mark. "Nana please talk to me, just this second, please...I just wanted to say I'm sorry" Mark said, holding onto Jaemin's left wrist to stop him from going away. Jaemin turn to Mark and it was obvious, this man infront of him haven't slept for days, always busy with stuff."I'm sorry Jaemin...that I shouted and said all those thing to you last night, I don't intend to hurt you, and threat you..maybe...it was all out of frustration and..pride..I'm sorry"."what was done is done, you can never take it back Mark" Jaemin cleared he wanted to act strong, yet deep inside od him, he felt Mark's sincerity. Jaemin though Mark will be enrage for the whole week or worst a year, but just a few hours had passed and he was apologizing. How come many people are scared of this person when he looks so weak infront of Jaemin.Mark heard Jaemin's response and look down, disappointment was something obvious with his reaction, "I'm sorry".Jaemin then felt guilty, no matter what hate he grew towards Mark, it was nothing but confusion. "For now on, don't ever go close to, you want us to be married by paper and thats it, theres no longer use for us to interact, for the betterment of the both of us" Jaemin said.Mark didn't answer, he hesitated, well it sounded like Jaemin had made up his mind to be completely distanced to him, it was...bitter. It hurted.Mark was planning to reconcile today, believing a proper conversation can lead to well endings, but this is seem to be the ending no matter what. Mark's hand that was about to hold Jaemin's hand turn back frightened the moment the other spoke with much coldness...So this is what it felt like, being hurt emotionally.Jaemin, in his point of view, find the silence between them taunting so he hurriedly walk pass Mark, ignoring the left emotion he felt. If he ever get pregnant by anyone with that ceremony, it was his concrete chance to ran away from all of this, from Mark, from the organization, and live a simple life instead.As they create distance, Jaemin walking away and Mark frozen from his position, in this spacious house, it never felt so cold.⚜⚜⚜"Something in mind?" You have been spacing out since lunch time, Chenle asked as it was finally dismissal. Jaemin had been in his thought the whole day, like everything seems so exhausting do."Nothing just stuff" Jaemin said, "You have another meetingbwith those rotten folks right?" Chenle reminded and Jaemin could only sigh once again. "I'd love you to stop reminding me about it" Jaemin said. Another meeting, rumors fled that the Park had attacked one warehouse of one family. Seemingly, it was something that will provoke a wsr once again.To Chenle, he knows this will never do good. The past fight, years ago so many horrible things happen, friendship ended, life was taken away, and love was betrayed."I want you to fight" Chenle said, looking up at the indigo sky, slowly, as the empty parking lot was at its most silence. Jaemin look at Chenle, "I want you to help me find who killed my father" so I can end my hate toward my love, Jisung.Jaemin hold onto Chenle's arm and smile warmly, " I promise, everthing will be fine, and we will escape this entanglement together" Jaemin promised, as his hands fall down to Chenle's hand as their fingers intertwined and Chenle felt reassured.On the way to the headquarters, nothing was in Jaemin's head anymore. His argument with Mark still affect his rather kept and quiet mood. Yet he wanted to push it away before facing the predicament that destroyed him so much. He was prepared a new suit, as he was in his office right now, the place where he massacred multiple slave in one katana, their plead was something so remiscent, as his every movement he can hear their whimper. He felt much more heavy.He feel like he was alone on his own fight, he can't dragged Chenle in his own chaos as it can ruined Chenle's situatoon more. So he was alone. The door open for Jaemin, as the elder seem to never welcome him. The plastic, backstabber people.He wanted to escape as soon as possible. He sat down and their eyes never left him, as if every action were calculated, he feel nervous.As he knows this people will crash him down again, his well-being, pride and all. That is what they all are great at, destroying a person. No wonder their so all high-and-mighthy.But Jaemin fought, try to be strong no matter what, because I doesn't want to get used of this abuse."Well I never expect you have time to visit, I thought the reason you held your unruly fornication was to have reason to skip, you aren't even concerned" Mr. Kim started, that old man has a hobby to humiliate Hyunmin's child; since this old man can't humiliate Hyunmin himself.Childish, but does he care, no, what all he care is to make sure to announce his hierachial position in that meeting table, that even the head of the roses is lingering upon his fingers."Is that how you greet good evenings?" to much everyone's surprise, the queen came, with her loose red dreas, cleavage purposely revealed and slit of his dress expose her full legs and thigh. Bea came with rather a smug smirk blowing the smoke fashinably, as the cigar between her finger symbolizes her vices.Everyone frown, well surprise that this woman appear, as she spoke that he doesn't like to correlate herself in this organization. "Ms. Bea, its a surprise that you visited"."Surprise, really~" with such flirty sarcasm, the woman lean to Mr. Huang whi furst greeted her, hands spread the table with his proud face, tilting her head on the side, "is that really the case" Ms. Bea retorted, the smile never left his lips as she was never faze or amused which rather change Huang's facial reaction, from his fake smile, to a stern one.He got triggered, everyone notice and knew. "Also, this is a formal meeting Ms. Bea, wearing revealing clothes--"Bea was about to seat when she got that remark, "well, at least mine is lean and real, alike your wife" sarcasm filled words shot Mr. Huang's whole entire pride one by one. Snicker echoed in the room which made Mr. Huang frown in anger, while Bea smile and face him with proud smile. He even notice how Jaemin tried his best not to laugh on the talkbacks.Mr. Huang try to fix his composure, which was a real challenge."Don't mind me, I will stay here as a feast that everyone could eye-ravish, continue your meeting" Ms. Bea instructed, winking at Mr. Kim which the old men was rather suprised, and even gulp.Stuttering to form a word, Bea's affect was indeed a big impact. So when Bea and Jaemin's eyes met in the middle of that meeting, smile arises on each other's lips.To conclude and summarize the meeting, it was about Mrs. Huang warehouse of merchandise and products from north america. How wonder that is much to be concern.allegedly, the one who is being pin-point as suspect is the Park' alliance. Not like Ms. Bea was listening as she was busy admiring his newly made nails."Ah, well done everybody, brain storming how you will hide your products and prostitute is splendid! How you ever thought about what if your kid and wife gets killed instead" Bea dead-panned everybody, she was really a tresspasser there and nobidy know why each other is tolerating the lady. Maybe they were aware what this woman can do.The reason why this woman lives alone, not by choice. Well everyone who guarded and became a maid in her house was never been found."You shouldn't do that in there mother" Jaemin said, as they walk out of the corridor and Jaemin skipping the bidding session because he gain trauma over that, "It was nothing but a harmless words, their too old to be a hot-tempered snotty kids" The woman said, they walk side by side, and Jaemin felt relieved that at least, he got a companion, " You know a fabrication if you experience it" Ms. Bea stated.And jaemin look up confuse."Zhen and Hyumin was also brought, because of the alleged meeting about the attack, but how did it end? Both of them dead" Bea said, clicking her tongue and Jaemin's eyes widen as he realizes those hint...It will be an ambush...to kill him too?"Oh, look who the fucking devil brought infront me" Bea said, eyes staring lazily at Mark, and behind him was Renjun who is twice as surprise as Jaemin."Mark" Renjun mumble gripping on Mark's shoulder, while Mark look at Bea's eyes, having that staring competition. Being tough as Renjun hide behind him.Bea couldn't.This motherfucker kill my sonA small knife was reveal hiding inside her twisted belt around his waist. Hands are already placed on its handle yet Jaemin's hand immediately hold onto her and stop her, ms. Bea look at Jaemin as the boy shook his head. The woman sigh and consider this Mark's lucky day.Jaemin hold onto his mother-in-law and him passed by Mark and Renjun, it was a tensed atmosphere, as Mark knew that his own mother never loves him, from the day he was born, he was thrown away...Jaemin took Ms. Bea home since he worry the woman might get ambush and kill after pissing of some people inside the meeting hall yet unfortunately they didn't. Also he was too occupied to notice there was someone following, since his thought was away thinking about how Renjun lean on Mark to protect him, and how Mark kept responsible on that position.Jealousy.Can sometimes kill a person, but Ms. Bea took care of that stranger following them when they got home.On the other hand, Renjun and Mark landed on one given lounge hall, Renjun closed the door, despite the whole room being made by transparent glass, well it can go blur by command for privacy. "That woman is crazy! she is literally gonna kill you even damn well your his biological son" Renjun cannot deny his nervousness towards that woman, because indeed that woman is vicious.She even got away when she killed her own husband infront of her family. Money can do magic if you have enough."Shut it Renjun" Mark, is sensitive however in that topic, brushing his hair up, massaging his forehead. "What is she doing here" Mark became frustrated."the Park and the Lee pharmaceutical have were friends before didn't you know, it only ended with Mr. Hyunmin Na arranging.. Your--""His not my brother, even his mother doesn't accept me" Mark retorted, he is alone, he had no single family around him. Inside of this Black Rose, he was just a mere instrument. Depression struck him once again that his eyes turn watery, "Ag.."" your head is hurting again ? Are you okay" Renjun then worries when Mark pushes him back, I'm alright...it's just lack of sleep... I'll rest" Mark retorted and kept distance to Renjun sitting down to one provided couch, resting his tensed muscle. He tried closing his eyes yet the pain in his head was inevitable."I need to rest" he breathe, "But how?".⚜⚜⚜Jaemin landed on one club he visits with Chenle, he still feel troubled, of everything."Fuck" Jaemin groan, and push the unfinished alcohol shot-glass. He change into his casual wear, in a white shirt and pair of jeans. "Lonely?" A random stranger sat next to him all of a sudden, and Jaemin examine the guy with lazy, half-lidded eyes. He nodded nonchalantly. "Hmm, should I mend on your loneliness".And just like that Jaemin get a hook-up, this guy seem cheap, he was only brought in the club's shabby bathroom, pulled him to one of the stole, he wasn't drunk by the champagne, he was drunk by sadness.Kisses were rough, aggressive and hands move so fast. Yet something felt wrong.His stomach grumble and felt like puking so he push out the dude away, "Fuck! Shit your disgusting!""be thankful I didn't puke in your mouth!""bitch, I'm outta here"was seven and half shot of champagne made this? Maybe? Jaemin wasn't sure as he hazily stare at the man leave him in the bathroom, his throat still felt the bitter after taste of the vomit. Jaemin started to cry when the male leave, tears falling and he started to regret his life decisions. He gargled on the sink because his tongue taste shit everywhere, and walk on the street aimlessly, with no direction, all ruined.He even forgot that he have a car.On the street, people started to look at him weirdly, he doesn't care.He started to hum some song he heard in one store, i hate you, I love you.Why does he remember words that he say so lovingly, infront of Mark's face.Why he kept dreaming of Mark holding a child, their child, why does he always cry over a white pot with dying roses.Was all those just crypted dreams or oddly crafted memories.He don't know he was confuse. The cement ground oddly also turn to small trimmed grasses, nature whipped it scent, Jaemin look up and realize where he was, something familliar yet unfamilliar.The darkness consumed most of the opening of this forest park, yet he notice some illumination in the near right, and a drunk Jaemin followed it. Eyes then met, well as if Jeno was melting after crying and praying, maybe God was generous and gave Jeno his wish. That is to see Jaemin again, up close.Jeno knows that Jaemin is recovering from his lost memories, Jeno wanted Jaemin to remember how Jeno loves him so much, but that moment will oy crash Jaemin. Trauma shen he found out all the riduculous thing that happen, and when he was in the middle of life and death when Mark's car hit him.Almost taking his life, and unfortunately taking someone so precious away from existence."He is pregnant?""Yes, the doctor wanted to disclose this to everybody specially Mr. Na's fiance"."Its okay, I know how to protect Jaemin""Thank you Chenle, I trust him to you for the time being""Yes, Ayunnah"Jeno was just eavesdropping, he wanted to make sure if Jaemin survive or not in the accident. Though of that fact, Jeno seems to not take the accident lightly.What if. That child was his and Jaemin.His heart broke more, and until now he couldn't move on.He thought Jaemin died with his unborn baby, but he was alive, and now was standing right infront of him, messed up from confusion. Please stay strong Nana. You will need it."what, you again, here again?! Why are you always here?" Jaemin was confuss, well he was in his drunken state and Jeno always wonder why they kept meeting while Jaemin is drunk, "Well I'm here and I think you can't do anything" Jeno said."You got a problem?" Jeno asked and Jaemin just stare at Jeno, pouting, "What's your name again?""Hmm...didn't I say it last time...I'm Jeno" Jeno said with a smile, at least now they met i a quite wholesome way, Jeno.Jaemin pause and his eyes started staring at Jeno intently, why ia that name sound so familliarx was it because we met in the meeting club weeks ago?" So are you coming here or nah? I got snacks here if hou want" Jeno then said, as the boy who came first fixed a small picnic for himself not really expecting anyone to come visit him, it was already midnight, many are asleep, most store are closed, the moon is also at the middle shining brightly with it's star.Jaemin hesitated at first yet still consider because he saw Jeno was eating some potato chips. He sat on Jeno's picnic linen yet make sure the two of them have distance, in Jaemin's believe they were strangers, while Jeno already memorize Jaemin erogenous zones, moles and entire body."Hmm I didn't bring any plates today so just shout it out, I got my earphones with me" Jeno said, being very supportive, maybe thats the only thing he can do right now. "It's okay, I just actually want some fresh air" Jaemin said."Hmm suit yourself""Hey""Yes...Jaemin".Jaemin look at Jeno with yet serious eyes, "do you ever love someone that it hurt so much?" Jaemin asked and Jeno paused because of the sudden question, "Oh, no forget it, I'm talking nonesens--""I actually have""Huh? Really? Who"It's you Nana"someone so similar to you"⚜⚜⚜Mark rest his head on his and Jaemin's shared bedroom, which was abandoned since they argued, Jaemin's scent of peaches left by his perfume still stick on their covers. Mark needs comfort tonight, but no one was there as he stare miserably at the door giving sweet prayers to the god, he know he wasn't a good guy most of his life, but atleast answer his pleads.Just this time.When he is running out of time."I miss you Nana" Mark whisper looking at his and Jaemin's wedding picture, the wedding was all for show yes, it was needed for Mark to continue his revenge, yet the feelings inside the marriage was strong.If only, he was more relevant, if only he had the power to stand up for Jaemin without being laughed at, he would have.But he failed, he was afraid that one day, if Jaemin betrayed him like the others he will fall down the dark depths, he is scared. So he wanted to stay away."If only I was brave enough, when I knew my feelings for you, I would have love you so much".
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Jeno sat on that bewilderness, until sunrise he was frozen as he let a certain someone borrow his shoulder. Jaemin smelled like booze and alcohol, laying on Jeno's shoulder, sleeping soundly.It was pretty uncomfy for the other, yet this was one of his rare opportunity to be with Jaemin. He also notice dried tesrs and how puffy Jaemin's eyes were, he had been crying so much.And Jeno isn't surprise if it's Mark's fault.Jeno lay the side of his head to Jaemin's, looking at the sky that slowly turn bright, covered by the tree yet the sky was also wonderful on how the brightness mixed in with the dark.Jeno wanted to stay on that moment, the cold breeze of morning and Jaemin's warm body. His stable breathing and his light snores, he was left no guard on Jeno's side."--AHHH!".Yet Jaemin got conscious and realize where he was and what was he doing, "The fuck!" Jaemin groan, opening his eyes that wide and shouting that loud made his head hurt; may also be the effect of the alcohol."You okay? You passed out so I stayed, I can't pull you to a hotel I have no car" Jeno said, while Jaemin rub his aching head, "So, you should have just left me inside my car"."I shouldn't leave a drunkyard alike you in some random woods" Jeno retorted and Jaemin click his tongue, seeing this stranger; or club member, first thing in the morning. "I'm leaving" Jaemin tried standing up, yet the hangover is still there so as soon as he stood up he felt like the whole world circled around and shaking.Jeno quickly stood up and catch the stumbling guy, "You sure you look like you can't even drive, give me your keys I'll get you some hangover soup" Jeno said, and in all honesty, Jaemin would admit he need that soup like right now."O-okay" Jaemin said giving up, he wouldn't want to hit someone when he drive, "But I will come with you I don't want to be left here" Jaemin added.And so that ended them eating on some soup place, Jeno even gave his jacket to Jaemin because the guy was extremely getting cold from the air-condition inside the restaurant.Jeno join for some tofu soup for breakfast. Quietly eating Jaemin look at Jeno with a weird experession."hm? What is it? Oh...am I a messy eater?" Jeno asked, and Jaemin was just stern and dead-panned staring at Jeno.Jeno waited for the response, "I was just wondering, why we always end up meeting each other despite not knowing each other" Jaemin retorted with much confusion. Jeno sigh, he thought that Jaemin knew him, and was about to say if he was pretending not to know Jaemin."Maybe--" Jeno look down on his bowl, playing on a tofu slice, "We are destined to be together""Ew, mr. I am a married man" Jaemin retorted, and was actually frowning now while Jeno chuckles, "I think that doesn't how it works for people like you" Jeno then said making Jaemin look at him with fascination."What...do you mean?"."I know your organization, If I didn't do you think I can get in the Music club?" Jeno said, well at first, in his first entrance in the club it was because Haechan have connection with Mark, and now he entered with Chenle."Y-you know...I thought it was top secret" Jaemin was even surprise of this, Jeno could only smile, Jaemin being cute infront of him was rare."So I'm no much of a stranger now?"."I still don't trust you, and I much don't trust you if you know Black Rose, you look like you know more" Jaemin said glaring his eyes, while squinting it nesrly close and Jeni chuckles, "I was just saying, could I finally be friends with you?"Yes slowly, like how it should be, bitter meeting on their first meeting must be erase, now they gain a new memory of first met, a decent one."I'll think about it" Jaemin said, looking down, why does Jaemin felt the fluttering feeling when the guy infront of him smile with his eyes."Well then, I'll see you at the university" Jeno said before waving goodbye, Jaemin took him in tge nearest subway station since the boy have no car he Believe, yet Jaemin swear he saw Jeno riding a motorbike before. Maybe he didn't bring it today.👑👑👑"Where is Mark?" Mrs. Huang asked maybe used seeing Mark with them while breakfast. Renjun sigh, "He had been canceling my calls since last night"."Seems like Ryu's little machine is now malfunctioning" Mrs. Huang sarcastically said, "If dad wouldn't succeed eliminating the Na production and business, we will be near eating dust...step-mother" Renjun gritted his jaw. Not having it well when he was all alone with his step mother in the table."I have my own money brat, between the two of us your the lonely parasite and slave, my husband gave you mercy while he marry me to expand our business connection" Mrs. Huang said, biting on her meal.The glaring war didn't end inside the Huang residence that Renjun was so pissed off and immediately left the house. He went to the music club room, maybe to find someone to destroy sanctuary, itching for something.Yet by surprise, someone he despise as well was quietly playing the piano."Well, well isn't the uninvited bitch husband sucker" Jaemin spoke, his good mood disappeared when Renjun showed up with even fazed on his present, not even batting him a look."and isn't this our lonely soldier, sucks when you are just here alone" Renjun said tilting his head of, walking to approach to Jaemin, while Jaemin stood up and and eyes fired up as he look up to Renjun."Degrading you doesn't affect you anymore you fucking horny weirdo" Jaemin growl, "Says the one who wanted to be fuck by five people at once" Renjun retorted sarcastically.The arguement didn't end well, there was choking involve with Jaemin's hand grip around Renjun's neck. "Did you have fun fucking Liu Yangyang too huh? You fucking bitch if someone is cheating between you and Mark, its you" Renjun said making Jaemin even angrier throwing Renjun on the floor."you have no proof of your accusation"And Renjun scoffs, "you want proof?" Renjun rather catch his breathe, "Just wait Na Jaemin, when you realize how worst of a person you are".Jaemin walk out immediately not having it, as those word dissolve in his thoughts, Renjun groun arms was a bit bruise after falling on the groan."Renjun what are you doing here?" Mark entered after a few hours when Renjun was patching up some bruise on his arms, "Your fucking husband happen" Renjun said and Mark's eyes widen when he saw the hand prints visible on Renjun's neck."You sure that guy knocked out his head? Why does he know he got a strong grip, fuck" Renjun said, infuriated about Jaemin, "I told you don't approach him, Jaemin is unable to control now"."And its because of you, you have one job, when you still consider Jaemin as a piece of your revenge you should have killed him, if Mr. Huang dies, we are done for and his fucking wife had eyes on us too" Renjun retorted, making Mark realize their position."I don't need to follow everything he want, it was my revenge--""But you should, because I wanted to live, I don't want to miserably be just an adopted slave by everyone, I wanted to be respected too, I'm not a bitch, and I am tired of being labeled like that"."I understand you Renjun, but...I can't kill him"."I promise, I will get us free from this burden" Mark said, hopeful that Renjun would understand, "By that time we are probbably corpses".Renjun stood up and walk away leaving Mark restless of all of his decision, when will he sleep, a sleep where he doesn't have to think of anything. At that moment Mark just wanted to cry, like cry hard because it was all so heavy.👑👑👑As for Renjun, if Mark don't go get action to weaken Jaemin and kill himx then he will."Why did you suddenly called for me?" Chenle asked, as they were now in the Headquarters of Black rose, "Jeno, send him here" Renjun was determined, Chenle then smirk and laughed, "I see, you are getting desperate" Chenle said and clicking his tongue."The purpose of you dragging Jeno back here is for Jaemin to completely remember what happened five years ago, so I am just helping you"."But Mr. Huang, our goals are different, so unfortunately I. Will have to decline, if you are fighting for your family line, which practically is your fake family, well I am protecting my real family" Chenle said, light swaying his glass of wine."We were so close back then" Chenle whisper, "We were the greatest of friends, us three, we even support Jaemin to find true love with Jeno, but you ended up picking the wrong side" Chenle said."And why is that? It was because your too soft heartened to a certain Park Jisung, that you blindly love him even though he infiltrated the organization targeting us specially"Renjun argued back,"Its not my lost you were the weakest pillars of Black rose" Chenle retorted, "Remember, your father die in that war between the Park--""I'm not dumb, I know it was you, hence, I want you to pay for his life, not now though, just a warning that you should enjoy your life when you still have it" Chenle said, standing firm on his position, Renjun gritted his teeth, while Chenle remained unfazed."The war hasn't end Renjun, because I am still alive, I have the rights to revenge over the unfair death of my father"."Indeed Mr. Zhong, war isn't ending yet" Mr. Huang appeared, unannounced, "So be careful who you threatened" Mr. Huang left those words, and Chenle only took a sip of his wine making the son and father leave the room.Hands started to trembling, Chenle sigh, he almost had it, he quickly wipe the pooling tears inside of his eyes, and heart pumping so loudly in nervousness. "I should call Haechan".On the other hand, Haechan was busy making the perfect breakfast for Jeno, and almost flinched when Jeno arrived."Jen! Your not in your room? Huh where have you been so early" Haechan said worried, "I just went for a jog and--" Jeno's eyes avert to the table, professionally prepared by Haechan."Oh really, you must be hungry here I made breakfast" Haechan panickedly said and Jeno was about to say he already did have breakfast with a certain someone yet he doesn't want Haechan's effort to go to waste, "Okay, thanks Haech" Jeno chirped.Well, he really need a jog after this meal, and a bathroom too. Haechan was all smile while Jeno ate the food he cooked well, he appreciate how Jeno complemented each of the dishes he made. "You gonna go to the club later tonight, I heard the club president will perform something" Haechan said, and by that he meant Jaemin.Haechan became very welcoming, he end up admitting to himself, of his growing feelings.Was it? Or was it just him to avoid growing back his obsessive love towards Mark. "Yeah sure" Jeno said and Haechan smiled, "Well let's prepare for class now.Haechan went back to his room to see missed call from Chenle with much frown, he wanted to call back but Jeno called him on outside since they were running late. Maybe later after class.The usual, listening to lesson and trying to comprehend everthing at the same time. The usual suffering in academics, club agenda started and Haechan and Jeno went in, and because Haechan is now well acquainted with some, after that...blessing ceremony.He was passed on cocktail mix drinks multiple times, because it was a good night, as they sat relaxed listening to Jaemin playing the piano, what sad piano.Jaemin played it with a stern face, in a dim room where sofa are scattered and members settle on. Jeno and Haechan sat together with Chenle at the other side of the sofa.Jaemin plays the piano, softly as if its a gentle being. Mellow and all gloomy that is what it sound like. He was afraid to look up and see the audience faces, reaction. Even though he doesn't look face towards Renjun insult, it honestly plunge his heart realizing it.One by one he counted his comrade.Chenle was there, but he can never sacrifice his life for Jaemin, he had a family and position to protect, Mark was already a broken machine that by guilt blindly follows those people he owned, no one.Ayunnah was there, but, where is the people he should consider family.I have her, It was enoughConvincing yourself ain't so much of an answer to the question you want, some are left unanswered.So who? Was he really the lonely soldier. Among this crowd no one was his comrade. He ended the song, feeling weak, he wanted to go home immediately.Everyone seems so busy, everyone was not so focus about him, does he have to feel relief by it.A friend, what if he was a horrible friend to his new found person. What if Renjun's word were true. That he was the worst person, someone that should not be forgive, a murder, a cheater and all kinds. Was it all true?"Hah" Jaemin took a deep breathe leaving the club room unannounced, going on the way to his car, all this gloom all this sadness made him tired, drowsy. "I should go home" he mumbled, he turn his head back to the club room, he was really alone.Slowly and slowly he realize it as everyone is preoccupied to each other, with a never-ending war of diversion. Each group settle on each room, not wanting to see some other people they despise...But what about himWhat about Jaemin?He stood there in the empty hall, alone, before finally going home.Walking on the empty hallway of his house, he felt exhausted, sighing as he slowly made his way to the stairs, yet all of a sudden he felt something was odd, that the room was too quiet, body aches as someone kicked him down to the floor, the dizziness severe.Yet he still try to get up, he was ambush, "Sir!" it was ayunnah's voice, running to Jaemin yet multiple strangers in black surround them, Ayunnah picked up her pistol, alone trying to protect Jaemin from five or six guys, with her fracture arm."Are you okay"."Y-yeah, I have a tazer gun with me"It was difficult, no human is a shield, the fight will never end with no blood spilling, all in their proper stance surrounding Jaemin, heart thumping so loud, he was only good in guns, not in actual up close combats. It was way different from a far target, they were meters apart.In one room.They have to dodge the bullet, Jaemin and Ayunnah is outnumbered compare to the attacker so there is no smarter move but to run away instead of engaging to full on combat, Ayunnah's hand grip on Jaemin's arm. Glaring at the intruder, until they did the first move.Jaemin was always Ayunnah's main priority, one hit, yet multiple of them were moving so quickly that it was hard to aim. Some have belt and line extending up to the roof, it was as if they were ninja flying around, assasins paid to kill someone."Run, Jaemin, I said run" Ayunnah shouted when she got hit once on her arms. Jaemin shook his head, he can't lose Ayunnah too, she was the only person Jaemin had. "Give me your gun!" Jaemin shouted ,infuriated, as they both hide behind the wall to avoid the bullet, "I can't do that, I can't let you save me, I serve you""Bullshit! We will both die if you don't!" Jaemin shouted making the woman froze, Jaemin was desperate, tears flowing down his cheeks, "please, trust me" Jaemin said.Ayunnah hesitated, as the pistol only have a few bullets left, "Hide while you aim, I will distract them" Ayunnah said, "No what if they hit you" I am sure you are their target, sir, let's do this together" Ayunnah reassures, and Jaemin was afraid, terribly afraid, yet he have to trust Ayunnah.So Ayunnah took a deep breath, and prepare herself to run.Jaemin click the pistol to ready it, and also took a deep breathe.Ayunnah run and as expected everyone got out of their hiding place it was Jaemin's time to move in an interval of a few second. One.Two.Three.Ayunnah got to the other pillar to hide, catching her breathe and Jaemin got relieved, yet as Ayunnah turned her head to Jaemin, his eyes widen and reach out in the air, Jaemin flinch as he just notices that there was a presence behind him almost shooting him but luckily he was faster to move.Yet one thud, scarred all of Jaemin's nerves. Gun positioned as he called for Ayunnah, who is now down on the ground bleeding. One shoot again, Jaemin run to Ayunnah as the last assasin drop to it's own blood."Ayunnah" Jaemin cried with his hands trembing as soon as he touches Ayunnah, blood speared all over his palms, "No! No! Ayunnah, I'll take you to the hospital" Jaemin was panicking as blood soaked all over his school uniform trying to lift and help the woman stood up."Ah-it was just my-my soldier sir, d--""Shut it, you have lost so much blood you will die at this rate, please don't die on me" Jaemin said, struggling to walk Ayunnah with his own frail hands, standing upx ayunnah walk with a limp, guided by Jaemin.The younger was crying, and Ayunnah felt bad of Jaemin's situation, "I can't die yet, I still need to protect you" Ayunnah said, caressing Jaemin's cheeks, disregading the fact that it was all covered by blood making Jaemin cry more."You two are one strong bone" A stranger voice, an oddly familliar one, Jaemin look up and saw one last guy, in a black suit, with a mask covering his face, a blood rose colored mask with streaks of black.Holding a gun on his hand, positioning it, pointing at Jaemin, Jaemin pause, as his mind process who's voice it was while Ayunnah pulled Jaemin in her embrace, whispering, "I'm sorry".A loud bang echoed the room, as Ayunnah slowly go down, with her failed knees, and a hit in the middle of her chest. Blood started to come out from his mouth, and eyes are bloodshot as she was also crying.Jaemin watch her fall down, catching his final breathe, "No! No! Wake up Ayunnah!" Jaemin kneel down panicking ae Ayunnah slowly close her eyes, he look up to find the assasin but the stranger disappear like a bubble that dispersed.Jaemin stood up yet a hand stopped him, "D-don't Jaemin, it's dangerous" Ayunnah said, coughing her own blood. Tears falling down her cheeks."No no I can't let you die like this" Jaemin cried loudly, "Ayunnah""Ayunnah! You promise me you still have to protect me wake up!""Ayunnah" Jaemin cried loudly, grabbing the woman's clothes soaked with her own blood, waking the woman that had close her eyes, "Wake up, please don't die on me" Jaemin cried bringing Ayunnah to him and hugging the woman whose body turn lifeless, he was now hugging a corpse."Ayunnah" Jaemin cries calling the name of his final family, he lost it, he was now indeed a lonely soldier."Nana, Nana what happened" Mark finally got in, eyes widen by the seen, Jaemin turn to his final resort and reach out for Mark, "Help me please, I don't want her to die" Jaemin cried grabbing the end of Mark's shirt with his bloody hands. "Please" Jaemin plead as he sob.Mark obliged immediately and carry Ayunnah, "Lets go we can't let her lose all of her blood" Mark said as Jaemin run to him to the car, yet the hospital was so far that unfortunately, for the second time, with no saving.Ayunnah had passed.Mark watch how Jaemin kneel down and grief over Ayunnah's corpse, crying with so much guilt in his voice when saying sorry, holding onto Ayunnah's cold fingers as he ask forgiveness for not saving her...Mark watch it all, he doesn't know what proper thing to do, how shpuld he comfort somebody that is grieving when he can't even comfort his own self. He just stayed there as a presence of companion to Jaemin.As some officer reported, it was a obvious assasination on how four guys on black, face are covered came from the roof and attacked Jaemin Ayunnah, and Mark may have an idea who was the one at fault.👑👑👑In a restaurant in the middle of the city, Mark was escorted by multiple guards as he enter one certain chinese restaurant, "He will be in the usual private quarters".Mark nodded agreeing and walk his way on the familliar hallway, with graphic flowers from china, and nature scenery paintings along the wall, the sound kept by each room, he wonder how obvious this restaurant to have a syndicate owner.The door opened by two hostess from the restaurant, welcoming Mark inside the room, there is a low table. The person he had been secretly meeting.He sat down as they were face to face, and between them are boutiful amount of food, how interesting, alike it was a fiest."Using a mercedes benz makes it too obvious a big time is visiting this place" Mark said, as his glass of wine is being filled, "I only own expensive cars what should I do" the guy answered with much smile."Finish pissing the Huang?" Mark asked and the other nodded, "I had news from your mother, seems like something sketchy"."I know, but first, did you get Mrs. Huang's logbook?"
