Chapter 6

Doyoung's POV:

Doyoung walked back into his parents bedroom looking once more in the safe and saw a pistol in the safe

Why didn't I notice you before

He questioned himself

Grabbing the pistol he removed the magazine, seeing that it was fully loaded, with two cases of amo sitting beside it in the safe

Doyoung knew the basics of a gun, he knew how to load and shoot one, but it had been several years since he had shot a gun

He wasn't even that good back then, but if he had to kill someone he would

And he had to kill someone

Knock knock knock

Doyoung jumped slightly at the knocking on his door, he hid the gun behind his back and walked over to the front door, and looked through the peep hole

Ok good it's just Kun

He sighed from relief, calming his heart down and opening the door

"Hey Kun"

"Hey Doyoung, whatcha up to?"

Kun said trying to see around Doyoung

Doyoung moved and blocked his view

"Nothin much, why are you here?"

"Oh... Just for fun, can I come in?"

Doyoung paused

"Uh sure"

He opened the door as Kun walked in looking around

"Sorry about the mess, I was doing some research."

He apologized closing the door behind Kun

As the older male looked around Doyoung's house, looking at all the paperwork sitting in the middle of the dining room

"Ah... Yeah.... What's the research for"

Kun continued to push, trying to get an answer from the younger

Doyoung raised an eyebrow

Something isn't right

"Uh this and that."

Doyoung hid the gun behind his back as Kun turned around

"You found out anything about your parents deaths yet?"

"Uhm...."

I never told him about their deaths

"How do you know about their deaths, I never told you."

Doyoung questioned, he had always been very straightforward, usually if he thought it, he would say it, a habit that would get him into trouble a lot, but oh well

Doyoung could see sweat forming on Kun's forehead

"Uh- I- I don't know, I heard it- uhm- around I guess."

"Yeahhh suure, and you usually stutter that much in a normal TRUTHFUL sentence."

"Doyoung i-"

"No Kun"

Doyoung said pulling the gun out from behind his back

Kun's eyes widened as Doyoung pointed the gun at his forehead

"You wouldn't"

I wouldn't

"I would"

Kun stepped back

"You know something, don't you Kun"

"I- i don't know what you're talking about"

Kun said raising his hands in defense

"You know something about their deaths, about... Nct, don't you."

"I-"

"FUCKING TELL ME RIGHT NOW KUN!"

Doyoung yelled stepping forward to Kun, Kun stepping back, his back hitting a wall, as Doyoung's gun pressing against Kun's forehead

Kun closed his eyes, And turned his head away from Doyoung's face that was right in front of his own

There were several moments of silence

Doyoung felt Kun's shaky breath against his face

He looks so scared, what sort of friend am I? I'm sorry Kun, I have to do this, they were my parents, you would do the same

Doyoung tried not to start crying, he had to act brave, he needed Kun to tell him what he knew

"Kun please, tell me what you know."

Doyoung whispered, pleading with the older male

Kun slowly turned his head, looking Doyoung straight in the eyes

"Nct, a mafia group, they've been hunting your family because they left the mafia world when you were born, they knew to much, and now they wanna kill you, Doyoung you have to leave, you have to run, change your name, move, go to America or something, I don't know, anywhere but here, I can't see you die, Doyoung I can't lose you, go ahead, shoot me, but please, don't... Don't die, you're like my brother, you're my best friend, please, run Doyoung, run."

Kun and Doyoung started tearing up

"Kun i- I can't, I have to take revenge, I need you to tell me where they are, I need to let my parents rest in peace and this is the only way."

"No no no no no, Doyoung you can't, you can't kill them, you'll die, Doyoung you'll die."

"Not unless I kill them first-"

"DOYOUNG YOU CAN'T BE SO PRIDEFUL, EVENTUALLY YOURE GONNA HAVE TO LET GO OF YOUR PARENTS, THEY'RE DEAD DOYOUNG, PLEASE JUST LEAVE"

Kun cried, banging his fists against Doyoung's chest, trying to push him away

"No Kun, they're my parents, I have to, please tell me where nct is, I need to do this, please Kun, if I die, than I die, everyone is going to die eventually, I already feel dead enough, there's no point in me being alive, I need to do this for my parents."

Doyoung spoke, his own voice breaking, as tears spilled down his face

Kun sunk to the floor, Doyoung following him, crouching in front of him, the gun placed on the floor, Doyoung placed his hands on both of Kun's arms

"Kun please."

Doyoung whispered
