BANG

BANG

BANG

The gunshots echoed deafening in the confines of the mansion. Three guns were fired simultaneously.

"I am so mad at you Kim AiXun."

"You owe all of us apologies for being so reckless."

"You won't get away easily."

"You should've at least wore bulletproof vest."

"Kim AiXun, I'm going to pull off your ear."

"Ai, the least you could do is let us join in the fun."

"Told you we have your back, didn't ya?"

AiXun opened his eyes to see Bang Chan, Lee Know, HyunJin, ChangBin, Jisung, SeungMin and I.N surrounding him and YongBok, guns in their arms, aimed towards the underlings and his father. From afar, he sees his father clutching his hand in pain after being shot on the arm.

"You guys, what are you doing here?"

"Talk later. I'm mad at you." Lee Know grumbled.

Bang Chan grinned, eyes never leaving the enemy, "I told you we have your back, right?"

"Very pretty boyfriend you have there. No wonder you're hopelessly devoted to him." HyunJin teased.

YongBok who heard him, blushed, pulling himself away from the taller one, "who...who are they?"

"My fri---," AiXun corrected himself, smiling to YongBok, "my family and soon, they'll be your family too."

"Okay boys, you know the drill. Try to stall as much as possible until Raven Noona come." Bang Chan ordered. The seven of them begin attacking the underlings, defeating them one by one.

"I... I don't understand. Raven Noona?"

"Explanation later. You might want to give us a helping hand here. You're the strongest among us." Jisung called out.

Aixun nodded. He turned to YongBok, "just promise me, you won't get hurt okay?"

"Promise me you won't too." YongBok whispered.

The two joined in the fight.

It was minutes later when the underlings were seen dropping to the ground defeated and the number became smaller and smaller. Like a grand finale, AiXun approached his father who knelt on the ground, his mother by his side, crying at her injured husband. His siblings stood behind them helplessly.

"Just so you know, juvenile was actually a great place. I met with my real family and I'm so much happier with them. I lived through my life being taunted as a murderer even though I didn't kill anyone. I came home with my beloved grandparents dead on the ground in front of me. Now, please, tell me the truth. Who killed them?" AiXun stared down deadly to his 'family', "if you won't admit, it's okay. I might as well do what I was framed to do. Make it the truth shouldn't I? I should become a murderer." AiXun sighed, squatting in front of his father and grab the gun that was on the ground, a few feet away from him.

He felt all the frustrations that was kept within, boiled to the brim, overflowing from the bottle that he kept deep within. AiXun felt like crying but, instead he smiled, looking at his parents.

"because of you, I wish I didn't ex---," before he could finish his sentence, AiXun looked down to see a razor sharp knife in him.

His mother had stabbed him. He didn't feel anything, not until his mother pulled out the knife and the hormones and pain kicks in. AiXun sensed a burning, searing pain, cold sweats from adrenalin. He gasped softly, blinking his eyes in disbelieve. AiXun stood up as if he had never been stabbed. He turned around, staggering towards where YongBok was. Everything felt heavy. Everything felt so hot. Everything felt so hazy. Everything wasn't right.

"Hyung." AiXun watches as YongBok defeated a man, tossing him onto the floor. The older turned to him, looking into his eyes. "I love you."

With those words, AiXun staggered into YongBok's arm, his legs giving out on him. He could hear YongBok screaming his name, there were sirens and blinker that ignited the entire mansion. YongBok had fell to the ground, unable to withstand the younger weight. He grabbed onto AiXun shaking him vigorously. AiXun found it hard to breathe, every breath felt so exhausting. His consciousness seeping in and out of reality.

"Ai? AiXun, stay with me okay? Stay with me, love." YongBok pleaded. He caressed the younger cold face as tears streamed down his cheek. "I love you too Ai. So, stay with me okay? Stay with me."

"Sorry." AiXun mumbled.

"AIXUUNNNNNNNN!!!!!!" YongBok screamed at the top of his lungs.
