[M] MOURN FOR VENDETTA | YEONBIN

MFV : 35

A FEW WEEKS LATER

Soobin giggled, clutching onto Yeonjun's shirt, cheeks pink, "A-And then?" Soobin asked.

"And then, I told the guy to 'eat my leg' and threw my gun at his face." Yeonjun said, and Soobin burst into the giggles, throwing his head back.

"T-That's so funny, you really s-shouldn't do missions drunk." Soobin said between his laughs, and Yeonjun snickered, seeing how mirthful Soobin looked, bringing his hands to his face from giggling too hard.

"I know. Jay beat my ass after that. I deserved it, though. And you know Rei, right? That doctor... he also beat my ass after knowing what I did."

"Yeah, he's a good guy. How'd you know him, anyway? He's... a foreigner, I can guess." Soobin asked slowly.

"Well, he's a personal doctor of the Mafia, but he resigned after just 2 years since there's no big missions and shit that requires him there. But, we really knew each other when I was abroad. California and Chicago."

True and also false. It's true that Rei has been part of the Mafia as a personal doctor, but he didn't resign for the reason Yeonjun said, but because the FBI promoted him as the head officer based on California.

Soobin smiled, leaning his head on Yeonjun's shoulder, "Hmm, tonight was fun." Soobin said, clutching onto Yeonjun's arm.

"Pizza. Disney. Two of the best things." Soobin giggled.

"Yeah? Just wanted to have a chill night." Yeonjun said, and Soobin looked up at him.

"Thank you." Soobin whispered, and Yeonjun trailed his hand on Soobin's face, "Not just for tonight, b-but... for everything. I've been all over the place the past few weeks, but you haven't lashed out at me o-or... had gotten mad."

"Why would I get mad? It wasn't your fault, Binnie. You were going through stuff, of course, I was going to help." Yeonjun said, and Soobin smiled.

The past few weeks has been... hectic, to say the least.

Soobin had been at Yeonjun's place the whole time, not agreeing to leave the house. The most he'd do was step out to the balcony only for, like, three minutes.

His appetite decreased drastically, which scared Yeonjun. He'd eat a slice of apple for breakfast, no lunch, and then maybe a little rice for dinner.

He kept insisting he was fine— and got mad at Yeonjun every time he tried feeding him food. He took long baths, and Yeonjun had to pretend he couldn't hear him crying in the washroom. He'd sit on his bed, staring at the wall for hours on end at times. He threw up a lot and always had a high temperature, got nightmares and flashbacks, which made him cry.

It hurt seeing Soobin like this. It really hurt. Yeonjun would tell Soobin he'd be fine, but himself wasn't. Seeing Soobin so weak was taking a toll on Yeonjun as well.

But, Yeonjun had to stay strong. For the both of them.

Now, considering what Yeonjun had done, Jay and Rei called him several times to lie low since what he had done in the warehouse was beyond Rei's control and said Rei couldn't cover him up anymore.
