The Beauty & The Gangster

---- Ohm ----

We were so happy Nanon!

All the meals we shared together, every morning when I saw your cute sleeping face, every little annoying requests you made to change the household, the bunny costumes for my men, the dishes you cooked with Aunt Ying, the pots you planted in my terrace garden, the selfies you kept on clicking, your smile, your dimples, your scent, your warmth, your touch... I miss you.

Why did you leave so easily? Was my love not enough for you? Will you not ask me to explain what I do? Do you still think of me as Satan? The pain in my chest that I am feeling since the time you left, why is it not subsiding? Will you ever love me? Will you ever be with me again?

If I could ask one thing from god today, I will selfishly ask him to bind you to me. Some way... Anyway... Be it a miracle... Be it anything. Will god listen to me for once in this lifetime?

I fell in love for the first time Ohm. I had already fallen for you. No matter what I say. But is it wrong if I don't want you to be a Satan anymore? It is not possibl,e right?

Then what else can I say? I have all the more reason now for leaving your dark world. The instant I saw the scan monitor in Dr. Yim's clinic, I realized the tiny dot that miraculously became a part of my body, is my child. Our child. I gave it a thought. A lot of thought actually. But I wish to be a parent. I cannot discard the only connection left between you and me.

But I want my baby to be safe. I want him to be a good person. Is it selfish of me if I don't bring him to your world? I might not be thinking about your right to know about your child right now. But I cannot let him be a monster. Even if I love you, I don't wish him to become a Satan like you. I am sorry Ohm, but I have no choice. I need to leave...

The screams subsided when I stopped pushing the rod into the knee of the injured man lying on the floor below.

I pulled up the rod and threw it aside making an echo of clanking sound across the empty basement. The bleeding leg was now confirmed to be broken. But the guy kept looking at me with his red blood-coated eyes. As if pleading for me to reconsider what I am doing.

"It's been five years Dan. When are you planning to stop?" I asked pulling his hair now.

"I... I told you to be mine. I would never work with Knight if you chose to stay with me." He said almost on the verge of crying.

I pushed his head aside and got up. "So you are saying that you torture people, involve yourself in illegal trafficking and support Knight just to win my attention? Ha!" I scoffed wiping the blood from my forehead.

"You know I love you." He said trying to pull me holding my pants. But his injured body was not strong enough.

"You tried to harm the only person I love. I would have gone soft on you for the friendship we once shared. But you shouldn't have laid hands on Nanon."

"That waiter! Huh! I never knew that after bringing you on top from the ruins where I picked you, you would still look down at garbage in appreciation." He smirked to my utter annoyance.

I glared at him for a while before pulling a chair and sitting in front of him. "I'll tell you something. The reason why you could never win my heart was this shitty mouth of yours. If you even had one percent of humanity, I would have maybe given you an opportunity."
