Identity

“If you know the enemy and you know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle."
-Sun Tzu, Art of War


"Choi Soobin? Choi Soobin is the real heir?"

Choi Yeonjun's shoulder falls when he heard it. "What the hell are you talking about?" Yeonjun asked while glaring at the woman.

"You must be Choi Yeonjun... R-right, I'm really sorry—"

Don Mariano cuts her off. "Why don't you tell them the truth?"

"I-I can't—"

"In order to protect and hide the Choi heir, we exchanged you and Soobin," Mr. Choi walks in his casual unfazed face. "You're year older than my kid but we don't have any choice already. We send Soobin away together with your parents so they will never come back then we faked your death and made Mr. Yoon take care of you and eventually put you on the orphanage. Coincedentally, I never know Soobin and you are going to be friend."

Yeonjun gripped the gun and his tears started to pour out. "T-then, when I thought all this time it was you who killed Soobin's parents in front of him— t-they are actually mine? Y-you— how dare you play with our lives!? You motherfuckers!?" Yeonjun shouted in anger.

"S-Soobin lived in pain witnessing his believed parents died and you all kept the truth? You are all really are a bunch of demons," Yeonjun added. "I hope you all rot in hell!"

"Is it really confirmed? Choi Soobin is dead?" Don Mariano asked.

"Even he knows the truth he still chose death. Even if he knows that he can still turn the tables, he still chose to kill himself because you all doesn't fucking treat him as a human!" Yeonjun raved.

"No! No! M-my son! My poor little Soobin!" Mrs. Choi cried. "You said it's to protect him! You said you're going to protect! But why!?" she blames her husband.

"Take your wife away," Don Mariano ordered his son and they all heard how the woman resists and cried about what he heard.

She waited for decades for her son to comeback only to hear he's already dead.

"D-did you do all of these because of me?" Hueningkai asked the old man.

"Of course because I want you to be the heir. I want you to rule the world! Hueningkai, you are the only one suited in this throne so claim it, mightly!" Don Mariano laughs in joy.

"H-how am I supposed to that after hearing all of those? You killed so much people and then—"

"Do you think you have any rights to disobey me, Hueningkai?"

Huenngkai flinched and looked away. That's when Yeonjun say, "What if I kill Hueningkai, who will be your heir?"

"Hueningkai, kill him."

Hueningkai froze in a second when he heard it. "N-no, Yeonjun hyung doesn't have anything to do with this."

"You dare to defy my orders?" Don Mariano asked in a serious note.

Huenungkai pulled the gun behind him and pointed at Yeonjun. "Go, please. Just go, hyung," he begged to Yeonjun.

Yeonjun who couldn't find any single reason to live just stood in there and gave up on everything. It was a hella right for him and he just wanted to rest.

"Kill me."

"Yeonjun hyung!" Hueningkai shouted.

"Spades! Ace of Spades doesn't just mean death."

Yeonjun paused for a second. "What the fuck are you talking about?"

"Stop with the nonsense and shoot him!" the old man ordered.

"P-please just run away from here. I'm sorry for everything I have done b-but please. This is the least I can do for you, go. Run!"

Choi Yeonjun without any proper reason runs away and Hueningkai followed him and stop while tears are falling from his eyes. He aim the gun at Yeonjun who's running. His hands are shaking and he pulled the trigger while his eyes are close.

"I now declare Hueningkai as the Spade mafia heir! The Spades Organization will now rise again."

Yeonjun managed to dodge that shot and he managed to went inside his car but that's when thing started to even become more complicated. There are several cars following him and shooting bullets on him while he's driving.

"Fuck this life! When the fuck will this end! I'm so fucking tired already!"

Despite of all the pain, truth, and lies he heard tonight, for some reason he still wanted to live. A tiny part of him wanted to live more.

The rain stopped pouring and he saw some fireworks at the sky together with its distant sounds. It's already New Year. It's New Year and he's in a fucked up situation.

"Goddamnit!" he cursed and pressed on the accelerator even more still trying not get killed by those shots.

But unfortunately, his tires got them instead and his car started moving abnormally. "Oh fuck!" he yelled when he's about to hit a huge tree.

Yeonjun's car crashed and he felt his head stings but he didn't mind it and went outside before the mafia's men kill him. He started running off the woods but he heard several gunshot.

He cursed again and started running even faster in the dark woods but he's getting dizzier. He started to hear noises in his head and the pain in his head is getting more painful.

He phase went slower and out of nowhere he received a gunshot from his back that made him kiss the ground. Eventhough he's in real pain right now he still tried to stand up and walk.

"Fuck, I want to die but I don't want to die yet either."

Another gunshot was heard but good thing it didn't reach him. He gets passed on those woods but he stop and just released a sigh when he saw he's on a cliff.

The next thing he saw is the mafias in his back with their gun. Yeonjun step closer at the edge where the strong current of water is flowing.

When Choi Soobin said they are going to face the same death as they share the same fate, it must be really true.

"Fine Soobin, let's believe that stupid red string of fate and let's meet again."

Choi Yeonjun who just knows his real identity decided to end his life by jumping from the cliff. He felt the cold water embraced him and then slowly closed his eyes.

Both felt the cold water as the last thing. Both fell and dive deep with the red string in their fingers as a connection. With blood gets mixed with the water, they both feel the numbness. Slowly, they closed their eyes. Slowly, the water gets its way in them. Just like spades that symbolizes bad luck and death, both releases their last breath.



The Spade serial killer case is now closed.
