Crypto's POV

I'm about half an hour away from Y/N's house and she's still on the phone, crying and whispering to Min.

The Syndicate has taken it too far, now. How could anyone threaten to hurt a child? I don't even think Revenant is capable of being so evil.

I zone out the rest of the drive, not even realizing I'm at Y/N's house until she taps on the window. I jump out of my thoughts and quickly get out.

She's looking around frantically as if she's looking for something or someone. "I can't keep him with me. It's not safe. You need to keep him with you. Please. They won't hurt him if all the other Legends are around." Her words are broken up by sobs every now and then. I take Min from her as she opens the passenger's door and puts a bag on the seat. "I'll be back. Let me get the baby seat."

Before she can leave I grab her wrist. "Y/N, what's going on?" I try to sound as calm as possible in hopes that she might calm down, too.

"They found me. They'll kill Min if they find him with me. I can't let that happen. Please, don't waste any more time." She pulls her wrist out of my grip and paces over to a car in the driveway, unlocking it and taking out a baby car seat.

Y/N opens the back passenger's door and starts putting the seat in. Her hands are shaking, making it hard for her to strap the seat in. "Tae, promise me you'll protect him with your life. And if they decide to keep me alive, don't come for me."

I open my mouth to protest, but she holds her hand up. "Promise me, Tae Joon Park." She takes Min from me and puts him in the seat.

There's nothing I can do but promise. She won't have any of it, and I don't want to stress her up more than she already is.

"I promise."

Y/N lightly closes the door when Min is strapped in. She steps towards me and wraps her arms around my neck, crashing her lips onto mine.

I place my hands on her waist and pull her closer. This kiss isn't one I enjoy. It's filled with sorrow and misery. It's a promise of loss.

She pulls away after a moment and holds my face in her hands, resting my forehead on hers. "I love you more than life itself, but please don't do anything you'll regret. Don't put Min in danger." Y/N whispers and I just nod, tears now running freely down my face.

Y/N pulls away and looks through the window at Min. "You should go. Now."

"I love you, Y/N." I say before walking to the car and getting in. Y/N nods and crosses her arms over her stomach. "Just go. The longer you stay, the harder it is to move on." She turns around and walks back to the house.

"Y/N–"

"Just go!" She snaps and walks into the house, slamming the door behind her. With a deep sigh, I close the door and start up the car. It feels wrong to leave her behind.

****

The drive felt like it would never end, but we eventually made it to the dorms. I drag myself through the doors into the common room with Min's bag slung over my shoulder and him in my arms. He's sleeping peacefully on my shoulder.
