Chapter 10: The Worst Ending of Fairy Tale

"All the things I did
Just so I could call you mine
The things you did
Well, I hope I was your favorite crime"

I was standing in the bar sipping my drink and watching Tankhun sing to Arm and Pol standing next to him. Porsche was talking to Yok, and I sat shakily on the couch, only counting the seconds to finally go back to house. I wanted to lock myself in room and sleep for the next two weeks but I couldn't do it. Always going out, having fun, pretending it's okay, I was already on the verge. I saw Porsche begin to walk towards me, so I panicked and headed for the bathroom. The vision of Vegas leaning over him drove me crazy, and I couldn't even ask what truly happened. Did my eyes deceived me? Does Kinn know what you were doing? Is Vegas comparing our touches? Our kisses? Was he happy that he didn't have to force himself to seduce me anymore?

I left the toilet wanting to wash my hands when I saw a familiar face in the reflection of the mirror. The face I prayed never to see again. The face of the only person on this planet who I willingly gave myself to.

"Pete," Vegas whispered, reaching out to me, and I quickly pulled away, hitting my back hard against the wall.

Immediately there were tears in my eyes, and I was afraid that he would come closer, touch me and feel how weak I was, how much control he still had over me. I panicked.

"I'm begging you, no, don't come, don't you dare," I repeated, and he stared at my huddled figure in pain.

"Let me just..." he began, but I couldn't let him charm and trick me again. Not anymore.

I quickly ran out of the bathroom and then I saw Tankhun in front of me, shouting at a stranger. Porsche tried to calm him down, but he grabbed his drink and poured it in the guy's face. I was the first to notice this person reaching for the pistol. The stranger was standing with his back to me and I immediately saw the gun hidden behind his shirt, but before I could react, Vegas left the bathroom and I made a mistake.

I should have lunged at the man right away, instead I took two steps to the side, not wanting to be closer to Vegas than necessary and at that time the opponent took out his pistol and fired. Tankhun's scream echoed around us, then two shots rang out next to me. It was Vegas who shot whoever attacked his cousin. Khun was lying on the ground in a pool of blood, and Porsche glared at me furiously.

"You must have seen he had a gun, Pete! What's with you!"

Then everything happened so fast. The ambulance took the master to the hospital, Vegas drove Porsche there too, and I was just left alone, looking at the dead body of the enemy.

I was shaking, keeping Tankhun's hand in mine and watching his chest rise and fall steadily. I couldn't believe how stupid I had acted, all because of my insane feelings. I should concentrate on my work, especially since I know how Khun can go crazy, but I was immersed in this suffering and the man I cared about got hurt. It was my fault only. Kinn entered the hospital room and stood beside me, patting me on the back comfortingly.

"Fortunately, nothing bad happened to him," he said, and only then did I breathe a sigh of relief. "But Pete, this situation is unacceptable."

I nodded, agreeing completely with him, and waited for my punishment.

"You can go home. Do it as soon as possible until Khun is not awake or he won't let you go after it, you know that," Kinn said instead, and I looked up at him with shocked eyes. "You're not yourself, and I don't want to risk any more. Go home, recover from the state you are in and remember that you can come back to us at any time. This is the only idea Ihave now."
