"Keep it." Seungmin gave Jaeun gave his handphone. "Incase they call."

Jaeun finally looked up at Seungmin, the vast sky above his head. It looked like a beautiful picture she could expect to see in a museum. She pushed her thoughts aside and nodded.

The four prince's turned around to leave and collect evidence when Jaeun finally blurted out.

"Be safe."

They smiled at her softly and took away the establishment.

.

"Should we hang out today?" Changbin suggested.

After they had reached Austrailia only once did they leave the hotel and it was for a little walk.

"Should we go to the beach?" Felix asked.

"I want to go and shop first, I want to bring something for Hyunjin from here." Jisung mumbled. "It would have been fun here with him. "

"Ah I should bring something for Jeongin too." Felix said .

"Then should we go to shop today and beach tomorrow?" Minho asked. "I really want to see the ocean here atleast now."

"Let's do that then. We can go to the beach tonight!" Jisung said excitedly .

The four them shopped at the local mall.

Changbin grinned at Felix when they noticed that Jisung and Minho had resolved their problems and were getting along really well.

"Minho, should I get this?" Jisung asked showing him a blue T shirt.

"No, that's ugly." Minho said after thinking a little. "Go for the grey one."

Jisung nodded enthusiastically before rushing in the dressing room.

"Felix try this!" Changbin handed him a jacket, pushing the younger to another stall.

"Thanks for making Jisung happy. "

"I hurted him first though." Minho giggled, patting Changbin's shoulder. "You really care for him, huh."

"Yes, he is like a brother to me."

"IS THIS BETTER MINHO HYUNG?" Jisung came out wearing the T shirt Minho chose for him.

"Yes! You look good, sung."

Jisung brought a few accessories for Hyunjin and Felix brought a whole bunch of hoodies for Jeongin. Changbin wondered what to get for Seungmin while Minho grabbed random clothes; all black for Chan.

"I AM SO HUNGRY!" Changbin yelled in the middle of the street, the rest of them facepalmed.

"YOU ARE ALWAYS HUNGRY!" Felix replied.

"It's okay ," Minho laughed. "Let's grab lunch and it's my treat!"

As the three young ones cheered , Minho looked at them lovingly. This was going to be one of his happiest moments in life.

They chatted about their lives, what kind of music made them happy and all sorts of mundane things as they munched away the burgers.

Jisung stole glances once in a while and he was happy that there was nothing awkward between them. Minho even shared his chocolate with Jisung earlier and let the younger one hug him. He believed that one day he would win him over.

Later, they decided to go to the Sydney point. It was the tallest tower in Sydney and provided with excellent view of the city. The boys looked around the massive city, everything was so breathtaking.

"Hyung, I can still have hopes about you, right?" Jisung chuckled, standing beside Minho.

"Ah yes." Minho laughed.

"Minho!" They both turned around at Changbin's panicked voice.

"What happened?" Felix asked once he saw Changbin's anxiety stricken face.

"They are here."

"What?" Jisung asked but Minho had already understood.

It was their luck that it took so long for the King's to figure out something was wrong and now they knew. Minho had expected that they would come for them.

"We need to leave immediately!" Minho pushed the elevator button to go down as Changbin yelled informing them that the people of the kings were already coming up through the other elevator.

Felix and Jisung looked at each other in horror. If they were to get stuck here to fight, they knew they wouldn't survive. They couldn't legally carry weapons there and that meant death in a confrontation.

The other elevator dinged signaling that those men were already here and their elevator was still a floor down.

"Sung and Lix stay behind." Changbin prompted as the men stepped out.

"GO INSIDE!" Minho shouted as their elevator doors opened , Changbin pushed them inside.

It felt like their ears were torn to shreds when the other party started an open fire. The bangs were so loud and a stinging pain instantly shot up in Felix's head, he dropped to his knees, covering his ears.

"Changbin go!" Minho said.

"But-"

"There needs to be someone here for to stop them from reaching the elevator." Minho said calmly.

"We aren't here for sacrifices!" Changbin held on to his hand, firmly when a bullet shot his left arm and he yelled out in pain.

"YOU KIDS NEVER FUCKING LISTEN!!" Minho pushed Changbin inside the elevator .

"Hyung-" Minho faced Jisung, the younger one's face was strained in tears.

"Jisung, I am sorry." Minho's eyes welled up.

Everything around them seemed to have quite down, a constant ringing took over Jisung's senses as series of bullets pierced through Minho's body.

He looked in horror as the boy he loved was dying each passing second.

The elevator door was closing inch by inch and Jisung could see the light leaving Minho's eyes simultaneously.

He screamed, cried , yelled but to no avail, Changbin held him back and he saw Minho for one last time.

He would never come back and even if Jisung keeps trying forever, he would never be able to hold Minho in his arms.

That last sorry hold so much weight, so much that it was crushing Jisung's heart.

He had blacked out , everything was a blur. He didn't remember Changbin and Felix holding his arm and making a run for their lives.

He didn't remember if they even took the things they brought with them.

He didn't remember the last time someone made him feel so many things like Minho did .

He didn't remember being so numb, so lost and so in pain, ever in his life.

Meeting Minho had brought so many firsts in his life but losing Minho to death...that wasn't the 'first' needed.

Minho knew that he wouldn't make it and yet he wasn't courageous enough to say it to Jisung.

That he had made his life a little bit better and that he was glad to know he made Jisung's day better and maybe he might have actually fallen a little bit for him.

He hoped his sorry would make Jisung feel all the love he would never be able to give him.

Even in his last moments, Minho smiled to death, he knew he had protected the people he promised Chan about and he knew his life was successful.

Minho loved to live and he died loving people he wanted to protect.
