An eye for an eye

-Felix, I'm so sorry! Jisung yelled from behind the locked door of his bedroom where his best friend was hiding. I couldn't tell you the truth. I know I should've.

-Why didn't you? Felix yelled.

-Because...because I was scared to lose my friend. At that time I was alone and... you were the only glimpse of hope I could hold on to. I was afraid that you would abandon me too. I'm sorry...

Felix cracked the door open and saw the pitiful expression on Jisung's face.

-I love you, Felix! What was between me and Changbin ended the moment he saw you. I let him go because I saw how he looked at you. And yes, I was jealous on how beautifully your relationship evolved, but... I was so happy at the same time. Because the most important people in my life found their happiness in each other. I don't ask you to forgive me right away. But let me explain what happened. Please...

Felix opened the door and walked in the other room without saying anything more.

Jisung followed him and found Minho on the couch bleeding.

-What happened?

-His injury opened, Jeongin answered.

-Is he...

-He's a doctor, don't worry! Hyunjin replied.

-He's been shot recently.

-I know. I treated him, Jisung kneeled down in front of the couch.

-You did an impressive job, but he got careless. I have to sew it back.

Jisung nodded and made room for Jeongin to do his job.

-Is your friend going to be okay? Daehyun asked with tears in his eyes.

Jisung picked him up and whiped them gently.

-He'll be fine. He's a survivor. Why Don't you go and show Channie hyung your collection of train toys?

-Okay, the kid ran to hug his new uncle.

Jisung's smile dropped as he turned to Minho. He kneeled again and whispered.

-Who are those guys, Minho? I want the truth.

-Told you, I don't- Ah! he squirmed in pain as Jisung pushed on his arm with his thumb.

-Enough with the lies. Tell. Me.

-You're still a little psycho that enjoys torture, I see, Minho smirked. God, I missed my princess- Ahhhh! Okay, okay! he took a deep breath. Remember Baekhyeon?

-No... You did not.

-I did, love.

-We had a deal! Jisung got up and started yelling.

Everyone turned their heads towards them.

-You promised you wouldn't do it!

-Yeah well... the deal was off since...

-Since I wasn't there to stop you, Jisung completed the sentence. You dumbed me so you can kill him?

-Of course not! It was just an opportunity I couldn't miss.

-Minho, you killed a man for a couple of bucks!

-Couple of millions.

-Minho, you promised me! Who's after you now? His wife?

-His son.

-We're against a child? Jisung furrowed his eyebrows.

-He was a child when we were still partners, princess. Now he's a vengeful teenager who wants my head on his desk.

-I would be more than happy to give it to him. You put us all in danger! You put Daehyun in danger! Get out. Get out of my house!

-Jisung, he's injured, Changbin came from behind. You can't leave me outside to be target for them.

-Why not?

-Because that's not you anymore. You changed. Please, Jisung... For Daehyun. What example are you giving him? He looks up to you.

-One week. Like we've talked. And if you stay here, you help me protect the people I love. Understood?

Minho tilted his head in agreement.

Flashback

-You're really into that book, aren't you? Changbin stepped into the room without a shirt on.

Jisung was lying in bed, half naked as well, holding up a thick book.

-It's fascinating. And it keeps me busy when you're gone.

-What is it about?

-A guy seeking revenge for his parents' death.

-So Batman? Spiderman?

-That was his uncle, moron, Jisung chuckled. I really hope he gets the killer.

-A bit violent aren't we? he took a seat on the edge of the bed and brushed gently the bangs off Jisung's sweaty forehead.

-He gets what he deserves. An eye for an eye, right?

-What if he has a family? What if he had a reason?

-Doesn't matter. You pay for what you take. No one offers you for free.

-If you were that guy who lost his parents, would you kill him?

-Yes. With no hesitation. If someone were to take something I love away from me, then yes. I would seek that guy and make sure he gets what he deserves. Maybe not my parents though. They are the last things I wanna think about. If they were to take a friend I care deeply about or someone I truly love.

Changbin watched Jisung finally opening a bit about himself. Up until them Jisung was a mystery entirely. He would rarely slip off something about his past.

-Fortunately I have no such thing as a loved one, Jisung shrugged it off.

-I need to get ready for work, Changbin snapped back to reality.

-Have fun! Jisung waved.

-Aren't you going to work too?

-Yeah... About that...

-What? Changbin stopped before dragging his shirt all the way down his abdomen.

-They fired me.

-What? Why?

-Because I left my job when I helped you with the accident.

-It was an accident in front of their coffee shop! Someone could've died. You did what anyone would've.

-They don't see it like that. It's fine. I'll figure it out.

-What if... Changbin crouched down in front of the bed and took Jisung's hand in his own. What if you come work for me?

-No... No, no, no!

-Why not? Changbin asked you thought Jisung would be more excited about the ideea.

-I am not sleeping with my boss. That's a line I won't cross. I've slept with an authority before and it didn't end up well. I'm not making the same mistake.

-Okay. But if you change your mind...

-I won't. Thank you anyway! he pecked his lips and returned to his book.
