Chapter 9: And when I saw you under the moonlight. . .

7:20AM
Johnny barges into Chanyeol's office. 

Chanyeol, who is doing paperwork, looks up and smiles. "Johnny, what are you doing here?" He asks.  

Johnny flashes a smirk. "I've decided I'll kill Taeyong soon." He says. 

Chanyeol freezes, dropping his pen. 

"Maybe I'll spare him, maybe not. . . How do you know Taeyong again?" Johnny teases, circling around Chanyeol's desk.  "I already told you, I used to work with him." Chanyeol sighs. 

Johnny nods, mentally taking note. 

Knock knock

"Come in."

 The woman with short black hair with bangs in a suit with a skirt enters the office. 

"Oh, Ms Nam."

"I brought your favorite cup of coffee." Ms Nam says. She puts down the tray on Chanyeol's desk. "Thank you. You can return to your work." Chanyeol says. Ms Nam bows before leaving. 

"So besides that. What brings you here early in the morning? Need a cover up? Your office is available." 

Johnny scoffs as sits down in front of his desk. "Please drop the good older cousin act." He says. Chanyeol sits back, "Act? I'm trying my best to be good to you despite your hatred for me." 

"Stop trying." 

Chanyeol rolls his eyes as he sits back in his chair, "I don't know what you want me to do." He sighs. 

"I want you dead." Johnny says. 

Chanyeol looks Johnny in the eye, maintaining his smile. "Would you like some coffee?" He asks. "No but I should leave." Johnny gets up. He turns to leave. 

"I hope your daughter is written in your will or maybe I'll just kill her too."

Taeyong walks into the kitchen. He opens the fridge and thinks thoroughly. "Don't even think of it." Taeyong turns around only to see Jaehyun. "I just wanted toast." He murmurs, looking down at the floor. 

"Tell me, Taeyong. You only have a few months left. What have you done in the time that I've given you?" Jaehyun asks, cornering Taeyong. 

"I'm still working on some things." Taeyong says as he tries to push Jaehyun away. 

Jaehyun grabs his arm. "What do you mean working on some things?! Do not waste time! Time is not to be wasted!" He yells. Jaehyun slams Taeyong against the fridge. 

"Get your hands off of me!" Taeyong demands, earning himself a slap. 

"No! You listen to me, Taeyong. If you don't hurry it up. . . " Jaehyun leans in, "I'll forget that you're one of my best and fucking kill you-" Jaehyun groans, falling to the ground, holding his balls as Taeyong had just kicked his balls. 

"I really don't have time for you anymore. Like you said, time is not to be wasted." 

Taeyong walks out of the kitchen and hurries upstairs. He enters his room to see Haechan asleep on his bed.

He enters the bathroom, "What's Haechan doing here?" Yuta, who's in the shower, "I don't know. He just came in last night and said he wanted to sleep here." He yells over the running water. Yuta gets out of the shower, all naked and wet.
