"d-do you think t-they are going t-to... to k-kill me...?" chenle asked, his eyes widening as more tears welled up into them when he realised the gravity of his words.

jisung and him were still inside the aquarium's bathrooms, jisung peeking through the opening of the door to see if he could find other dark danger members.

"chenle, calm down. no one is going to get killed." jisung spoke, pulling the younger against his side to hug him and help him calm down.

chenle cried in jisung's chest once again, gripping on the younger's shirt tightly.

"i'll call my godfather. he'll pick us up. we'll escape quickly, and i'll find a way to disguise you or something, okay?" jisung placed his chin on top of chenle's head, feeling him nodding slowly.

the mafia leader pulled his phone out and composed his godfather's number, waiting for him to pick up for a few seconds.

"jisung, i thought it was your day from everything mafia related." heesun said as soon as he picked up. jisung made sure the volume was low enough so that chenle couldn't overhear anything heesun was saying.

"we're at the aquarium with chenle, and we were wondering if you could come pick us up." jisung spoke calmly.

"the aquarium?" heesun laughed. "you took a break from mafia activities to go to the aquarium? and did you just ask me to be your taxi?!" he gasped.

"yeah, there were lots of beautiful fish. oh! and we even saw octopuses. blue and dangerous ones."jisung articulated clearly, hoping his godfather would understand the message.

"octopuses? jisung, are you drunk, why are you- wait! are you trying to tell me there are members of dark danger around?!" he asked seriously.

"exactly!" jisung smiled. "at the aquarium."

"okay, so, i'm guessing chenle is around and that's why you're sounding so not like yourself. i'm taking the car right now, i'll be there in 10minutes maximum."

"great." jisung breathed out a sigh. "we'll wait for you."

"call me back if anything happens. i have heavy artillery in my boot."

"sure, see you."

jisung hung up, placing his phone back in his pocket and facing chenle.

"my godfather will be there soon. for now, we need to get out of here without getting seen, okay? you absolutely need to stay calm and not make a noise. if someone suspicious ever comes around, just bury your face into my chest as if you were hugging me, and i'll make sure to hide you the best i could, okay?"

chenle gulped, another tear leaving his eye as he nodded.

"we'll head out now, alright?"

jisung turned around again, placing his hand on the door handle and applying pressure on it to open the door. however, before he could open the door fully, chenle slid between him and the door, looking up at jisung.

"w-what if w-we don't m-make it...?" chenle asked, new tears falling from his eyes. "t-they're a-a m-mafia..."

"we will make it, chenle." jisung assured, cupping the boy's cheeks and using his thumbs to wipe his tears away. "they probably are still far, thinking that the other man is still spying on us."

"w-where is he?" chenle asked, realising that he hadn't asked how jisung had gotten rid of him.

"i... i locked him somewhere. he won't be able to escape." he informed, flashes of him drowning the man coming back to his mind.
