Delinquents : The Thirteen Contenders

Chapter Five : Sudden Talk

Insomnia

That's one thing Chan is annoyed about. He wouldn't get enough rest because of the thoughts that would annoy him during night. He left his pills back at his place and he guesses that the group didn't know about his insomnia.

He sighs as he sat got off his bed. He opened the door as silence surrounds it. He plans on having a quick tour in the place or at least getting a small look since he is unfamiliar.

He was planning on stopping when sleep finally gets him or either he get caught. He wants to have fun so why not do some idiotic things? There is still a high possibility he'll die so why not take the risk?

As he opened his door, he walked through this large hallway that had figurines and statues that surrounds it.

When he got further, at the end of the hallway, it shows a pictures of them smiling. But the problem is that this picture they have, they are all covered in red. They wore red clothes and they had red tattoos in different parts of their body that were visible in the portrait.

Rather than feeling frighten, Chan just stares at the portrait with a blank expression. He felt nothing but envy. Not because of their position but because of their relationship.

He envy them because he never felt having a person like them. He wasn't the type of person to interact nor made friends because of his status.

He sighs at the portrait before going down the stairs beside the painting. The stairs was simple but elegant. The whole house was the definition of elegance honestly.

As he got down, he went to left that lead him to the kitchen. It was quiet since it he knew everyone went to sleep.

The kitchen seems to cost a lot honestly. People could doubt that killers live in this place because of the structure and surroundings.

"Wh-why are you awake?"

A male voice stuttering caught Chan's attention, As he turned around, his eyes widen in surprise.

Seungkwan. but the problem is it seems like he isn't at his state. His hands were full of blood and he seems to have a panic attack.

Seungkwan then breaks down unto tears as his breathing was quite irregular that before. Chan then ran at his side as he hugs him tightly.

He never really knew why he was helping a stranger when he can't even help himself. For some reason, These group of men reminds Chan of something he misses.

"Breathe, Everything's gonna be alright"

Chan whispers as he saw Seungkwan calming down bit by bit. Chan sighs in relief when he saw that his words are effective towards this man.

"I-I'm sorry you have to see me in this way"

He choked his words making Chan nod slowly. "Nah, it's fine. I understand"

Silence surrounds the room after that incident as he can Seungkwan's presence Inside the room.

"Are you trying to escape?"

Seungkwan asks making Chan's eyes widen in Surprise. Chan never knew why he didn't try to escape nor planned too.

"No, why?"

"People thinks we're cruel. I mean, we are but we aren't heartless. I'm angr- no Let's change it since angry sounds Childish. Let's say Inappropriate? I think I sound too formal, um-  frustrated? Yeah that's the word."

Chan chuckles softly at the man's rants as he just listened to him. Chan was honestly surprised that someone opened up towards him so fast. He guesses that people are heavy sleepers so that's why they didn't even notice him.

"Why are you, um, frustrated?"

Chan asks as Seungkwan smiled at him "Oh! You're interested! So it's like this." Before talking, Seungkwan dragged Chan upstairs to his bedroom as Seungkwan locked the door.

"So, since you're new, I guess I'll tell you my side of my story"

Seungkwan then took a deep breath as He smiled unto Chan before talking about his side.

  - - - - -

"You gained weight again huh?"

"He's gay right?"

"No one would love you anyways, look at yourself"

Seungkwan was 16 years old at that time. His family belonged to the low class part of the system that's why people are shit towards him.

He do wonder why life is unfair sometimes? The fact that he tried to smile everything off pains him. He tried to entertain others to forget the pain but sadly, the wound they made was larger that what's supposed.

Seungkwan sighs as he sat behind the school as he began eating his lunch alone. Seungkwan used to be popular and well known but one rumor ruined it all.

The rumor of him belonging to the low class part of the family. The problem was the rumor was true. People then began judging him day by day. Rumors began to increase well as his bruises.

"Oh, the poor one is here!" One shouted as seungkwan wasn't in the mood to fight. Seungkwan tried his best to control himself not until They began to break everything inside his bag. The then laugh while looking at the bracelet before breaking it.

Seungkwan stared at the bracelet with shock and tears falling down in his cheeks.

"Why are you crying?! It's just a cheap, ugly necklace!"

As he laughed Seungkwan then punched the man who broke the necklace. "How dare you! that was the only memory I had left with her!"

A necklace from his sister. The necklace was a gift to him before his sister passed due to lung cancer.

"Oh, what Are you gonna do? Cry?"

The Man laughed as Seungkwan was currently out of control. He's eyes landed at the bricks that was unused. He then picked up the bricks as he smiled at the man who seemed to froze.

"I'm not going to cry, but you should be ready since you're gonna die"

"Wai-"

Before the man could apologize, Seungkwan threw a brick unto the man's head making him groan in pain. He then grabbed the stick as he stabbed him directly unto his heart.

As the man who looks to be losing blood, he grabbed the garbage bag he was suppose to use in his apartment to wrap the guy's body around to make it seem like it's ordinary trash.

He stare around the place to checked if evidences was left and he was thankful there wasn't.

As he quickly threw the trash he began walking home wearing a new pair of clothing.

While he was walking, he was held by a group of men making him froze "The fuck!"

He shouted trying to get out of his grip "We saw what you did earlier" One whispered making him froze.

Seungkwan froze as he stopped fighting back "Don't tell anyone! I'll do anything!" Seungkwan begged as The man in front of him smirked "Join us"

Seungkwan froze at the man's straightforward actions as he finally realized how dumb he is that he just knew now why he was held.

Seungkwan thought they were just some gang trying to use what he did to rob him but he was wrong.

He sigh as He nodded slowly "Sure, I guess but make sure I won't regret it"

The group smirked at Seungkwan's Words as they knew they choose the right person.

"You won't, just trust us"
