Delinquents : The Thirteen Contenders

Chapter Thirty Two : Arguments and Misunderstandings

"You should get home, the others might get worried. It's almost morning."

Mingyu said as Chan raises his eyebrows towards him. "How about you?"

"I have somewhere to go first, I'll see you at home okay?"

Mingyu reassured as he pats Chan's shoulder. Chan smiles as he stood up before looking at Mingyu's eyes.

"Stay alive."

"I could say the same."

Both chuckles as Chan walks away, back to their place. Chan walks as he wonders how will his life be if he wasn't taken. He would be lying if he didn't have fun, yet he feels like a burden towards them, especially to Jeonghan and Minghao.

He took a deep sigh, as he just accepted the fact they hate him. He understood they didn't like him but they shouldn't cross the line upon judging him for what they just saw.

He never judged them yet he's being looked up as an abuser by them. He wants to leave for their peace of mind, he guesses this was his reason of wanting to leave, he decided that if he won't be accepted then he'll leave, he doesn't like forcing things.

But overall, he forgives them. Even if they never apologized, he forgives them. He treats them as his brother even if he knew they would never look at him the same way.

Chan sighs as he walks towards the door, opening it slowly to be creep out by the dark light. He enters the place as he felt his neck being strangled.

"L-let go!"

Chan shouted as he tried fighting back, he kicked the man in the stomach as he tried to find the lights.

"Shit!"

Chan shouted once more, he felt a knife on his knee as he opened the light. His eyes widen as he saw Jeonghan and Minghao, standing with a smile.

He gulps as he freezes. He didn't want to fight them yet he didn't expect that it was them that's why he accidentally kicked one of them.

"You tried escaping huh?! I knew it, you never liked us!"

Minghao shouted as he held unto Chan's body. Chan groan in pain as he tries to speak.

"Wh-what! No! I didn't escape I swear!"

"Really now? Why were your clothes filled with blood? You killed Mingyu, Didn't you?"

Jeonghan asks as he starts cutting through Chan's skin. Chan would fight but he chose not too, he felt like he didn't have the right as he wasn't the longest in the group.

"Why would I kill him?!"

"Then where is he?!"

"I don't know!"

"Liar!"

Jeonghan shouted as he stabs Chan's leg. Chan groans as he felt a hand on his neck. His vision was getting blurry as he felt all weak.

"I hope you die, Lee Chan."

Minghao shouted as he let's go of Chan's neck. Chan then smiles at the two before nodding slowly.

"Kill me, please."

The two froze at Chan's request as they expected him to beg for his life. They watched as Chan weakly hands his knife to Minghao, smiling at him.

"kill me, I don't want to feel this pain anymore."

This was Chan's last words before passing out. Before Minghao and Jeonghan could move, they heard Seungkwan entering the room shouting, as the rest began to enter one by one.

"What did you do?!"

Mingyu shouted as he ran towards Chan to check his pulse. The two widen seeing Mingyu's figure as thdy earned a glare from him.

The room was in chaos as Seungkwan was crying, Vernon was conforting him. Mingyu trying to stop his bleeding as Soonyoung was trying to help Mingyu. Jeonghan and Minghao then watches with the other's at the scene as they were worried.

"You're dead when Jihoon and Seungcheol comes back."

Seokmin said as him and Jun laughed at their idiotic actions. They then earned a glare from the two making the two silent.

Chaos was in the room as Mingyu, Jeonghan, and Minghao began arguing. Mingyu was crying as his anger was out of his control.

The door suddenly opened as the group froze knowing who it was. They didn't know what to do as they can hear footsteps coming towards them.

"Who did this?"

Jihoon asked calmly, he pointed at Chan's body who was filled with blood, bruises and cuts.

Mingyu then looks at Minghao and Jeonghan before looking back at Jihoon. He then got the signal as he threw the glass vase towards the two.

"How could you attack him?!"

"We thought he was escaping, and he came home with blood so we assumed he killed Mingyu."

Jeonghan responded as Jihoon threw another glass vase towards them. The group could see anger in his expression as no one dare to get involve.

"Stop using nonsense to tolerate your hate! If Chan dies I'm going to kill you!"

Jihoon shouted as Soonyoung held him back, trying to calm him down. The door then opened as that's when the atmosphere became more intense.

"Se-seuungcheol"

Jeonghan muttered as Seungcheol stares at the groups state. He then walks closer to Chan, checking his state before eyeing on Mingyu.

"I heard everything, don't give me your stupid reason so that your hate would be valid." Seungcheol deep voice rang unto their ears as they stayed silent, not wanting his anger to get anymore worse.

"Mingyu, kindly take care of Chan, go to his room afterwards, come to my office. Seungkwan, Vernon, you'll be watching over him. The rest, come with me."

Seungcheol demands as he leads the way towards his office. Jihoon then follows the three as he sat beside Chan, sighing at the events.

"I wished life was easy for him."

Jihoon muttered making Seungkwan and Vernon nod. "Yeah, he's a kid yet he felt this type of things."

"Where were you two?"

"We were assigned to distribute some drugs, you?"

"I was looking for something and I came home seeing him bleeding."

Jihoon sighs as he felt like he was the worst brother he could have been. The day he found out Chan was his brother made him feel joy yet his joy of Chan staying here is Chan's misery.

He wanted to cry, he wanted to apologize to Chan for everything. He just hated himself for not being there for Chan.

If only he could change places, he did but sadly, life is too cruel, only thing he has to do as for now is to try.

To try letting Chan experience the happiness he deserve.

A knock on the door was heard as Soonyoung entered with a smile.
"Seungcheol's waiting for you, let's visut him later."

Soonyoung said as Jihoon nodded, looking at Chan's state before walking to the door.

"Take care of him for me."

He stares at the three before walking towards Seungcheol's office, hoping for the meeting to end quickly.
