Everyone deserves a second chance

Chan looked Jeongin in the eyes, the boy wasn't scared, regardless of the gun aimed at his head. The Don's hand was trembling horrible from fear. Chan didn't dare move, not wanting to risk Jeongin's head.

"You know, revenge is a dish best served cold?" Minho says behind the Don.

"This won't bring her back." Chan says.

"I know, but it will give me the peace I need." Minho says.

At this moment he grabs the gun and pushes Jeongin towards Chan, and knocks the Don to the ground.

"Lock the door." Minho demands.

Chan pushes the door to close, the echo of the lock heard throughout the empty hall.

"Please come back." Jeongin whispered before the door close, but Minho heard him and smiled at him.

He turned around towards the Don, a smile on his face.

"Do you even remember her?" He asked.

The man on the ground just looked at him with pure fear painted on his face.

"Ofcourse, you don't. But I do. I remember her every fucking day."

Minho was looking at Chan. Why he was here, why he joined? This was his path now. Chan has no place in it anymore so he cut all ties. Never again talking to the other. But news travel and fast. While Minho tried to stay unnoticed, Chan was gaining power. In a short time, he had become the Don's right hand. Although they were no longer in contact, he could not allow anything bad to happen to Chan. He knew that at this point the Don was scared of Chan so he gave him the false hope that he could protect him from Chan. Minho always kept him under his eye, knowing his every move. But Chan never hides his plans from Minho, he still believed in him despite not talking anymore. They still had the same goal.

But Chan made a mistake. He fell in love. Minho knew it even before Chan did. He saw the way he looked at this boy. The same way he looked at Sungie. So, one day when Chan was not around Minho went into the shop wanting to meet this special boy. He sat at the bar looking at this bubbly and adorable boy. Minho never imagined that this would be Chan's choice, but when the boy looked at him with a bright smile he knew why.

"What will you order?" Jeongin asked him.

"Coffee." Minho simply said.

He felt this warm feeling he always had when Sungie smiled at him. It was like a ray of sunshine was trying to find its way through the clouds. He felt a stray tear on his cheek while still looking at the boy.

"Here." Jeongin beamed.

Next to the cup was a candy. Minho looked at Jeongin, archin one brow.

"You look like you need some sweet right now." He smiled.

"Yeah, I sure do." Minho laughed.

He continued to come to the shop but stayed hidden, not wanting Chan to see him. The more he looked at them the more he knew that Chan found his happiness. But in the world, they lived it was hard to keep it. So, Minho was giving his best to keep it hidden. Every time he went to see them, he makes sure no one was following him, but the found any way. And the worst par was that Minho didn't had time to warm Chan so, he offered the Don that he would be the one to take Jeongin. The Don happily agreeing. When he reached the shop, they already were beathing the boy's guardian. And did the boy put up a fight, he could give him that. Minho finds Jeongin quickly, the poor boy was so scared. He gently placed his hand on the boy's cheek whipping the tears. He saw the phone in his hands and took it. Jeongin managed to send a text to Chan, but he would be late. He took him towards the exit when one of the men say that they were ordered to kill Hyunjin. Minho wouldn't let that happen. He knew that Chan loved the boy, otherwise after he kissed Jeongin, he wouldn't be alive at this point. But he knew since he didn't include him in his plans.

"I'll do it myself." Minho said.

He grabbed Hyunjin by the throat and squeezed. He warmed him not to fight and the boy obeyed. Minho knew what he was doing soon the boy would be unconscious. He didn't deserve to die. After he was done, he looked for a camera and soon found it. He knew that Chan would see the video so he sends him a message and smiled. He was sure that Chan would get it. Minho was still on his side.

From all the commotion and emotions Jeongin passed out during the ride. When he woke up, he was in a room alone with Minho and God was he scared when he saw him. He backed away when he saw that the man reached him, but managed only to hit the wall. Out of fear he could not find his voice to cry out.

"Its all right flower." Minho tried to calm him down but to no avail.

"You...you killed him." Jeongin cried out.

"He is all right flower, I promise you." He assured him.

"I saw you... I saw him..." Jeongin couldn't even finish what he wanted to say.

"I know flower, I know." Minho hugged the boy.

"Why am I here?" Jeongin whispered.

"Because you are the only one at this point who could put Chan in place." Minho answered.

"What do you mean?" Again, a whisper.

"I am sorry that I'll be the one telling you, but you caught the eye of a sinful man. Chan is a part of the mafia. A powerful man and you are his only weak point." Minho told him.

"Are you going to kill me?" Jeongin asked.

Minho sat next to the boy on the bed, stroking his hair.

"No flower. I will make sure you would get out alive of here." Minho said kissing the boy's head.

It's been a few days now and to Jeongin's luck he still hasn't met the Don, but he found out that Minho is sleep talking.
"Who is Sungie?" Jeongin asked.

And Minho told him the story. Who was Sungie, who was Chan to him. Everything. It was strange, since Chan was the only one to know his story. But for the first time Minho felt light when he told his story. God, he missed Chan so much.

"When Chan succeeds, do you plan quitting this job?" Jeongin asked.

"I can't just quit it flower. I am a horrible man who did horrible things to people." Minho said sadly.

"But everyone deserves a second chance." Jeongin says.

Minho haven't thought about that. But looking at the boy... Did the destiny send him the boy? Was he his second chance? He anted to have children with Sungie and looking at Jeongin he was wondering if he had a son would it be like the boy? Ofcourse he would look like Jeongin. He represented Sungie so much.

The encounter with the Don wasn't nice. Jeongin was shaking from what the man implied. God, this was disgusting.

"I will not let him touch you flower." Minho said.
