Chapter 24

*Mentions of rape and murder.*

Seungmin P.O.V

I was sore but I was happy to finally be leaving. Our flight was at 9 pm and we had many things to do before that. Our first stop was the safe house. We had some unfinished business there. Chan sat in the backseat with me while Elias drove us. He knew what the plan was. He hadn't liked it either. He wasn't fond of me getting my hands dirty but I had to finish what I started. Elias stayed in the car when we got there. Chan sighed as we walked in.

"The place is clean. What happened?" Chan shrugged at my question.

"I'm guessing it was the clean up crew. Elias is one to be discreet. Don't worry too much about it." I nodded.

"Chan, go ahead and back our things." He raised a brow.

"You don't want me to come?" I shook my head.

"No. This is something I want to do alone." He sighed.

"Your decision." I nodded and walked toward the basement. Jaejun smiled when he saw me.

"I suppose it's my time?" I nodded.

"You know, I hate you. You broke me. You raped me. You killed me. You Killed my father. You knew about Elias all that time. You didn't tell me anything. You're the prime reason why I can't make love to Chan without feeling disgusting. That ends here. That ends today. After I do this, all thoughts of you will disappear." He chuckled.

"Do you really think that's possible?" I smiled, flipping the switch again.

"I do. We're done. I once thought all of the things you did to me were because I deserved but I never did. You were just a pathetic loyal dog." He started pushing against his restraints. "It doesn't really matter. You guys will meet each other in hell."

"W-what do you mean?"

"Oh? You didn't know? He's dead. Chan shot him when he shot me. It's crazy how things happen, isn't it? You've become into nothingness. That's all I ever wanted." I picked up my trusty knife and walked toward him. "Tell me, you know to torture, where is the exact place where I have to shove this knife in between your ribcage for maximum pain?" He looked away. "Come on tell me." He sighed and grabbed my wrist. It had only taken me a moment to realize he had broken his restraints. My eyes widened. He lifted my wrist.

"Right here, Seungmin. This is the spot that will cause the most pain. It will puncture my heart and cause me to bleed internally." My eyes began to sting. "You're right, Seungmin. I'm just a loyal dog. I'm a shitty person. I hurt you more than I ever wanted to. All I wanted was validation and even after all those things I did, none ever came. I was just a pawn. You deserve everything. You are everything and there's something I need to tell you before you kill me." My hand holding the knife began to shake. The words came out of his mouth in a whisper. I felt so many emotions when the switch flipped again. I was angry. I was sad. I felt betrayed. I wasn't going to tell Elias for a long time if I ever did.

"Jaejun, thank you." He nodded. After that, he guided the knife into his chest with a hiss. I cried for a long time even after he stopped moving. He hadn't been the first person I killed but it hurt a hell of a lot more than the first time. When I finally calmed down, I went upstairs. Chan was sitting on the couch with his phone in hand. He stood up when he saw me.

"Baby, are you okay?" I nodded.

"Come on. We have a couple more things to do before we leave." He raised a brow before nodding.

"Let's go, then." He grabbed our bags and walked toward me. I kissed him for a long minute before turning away and walking to the door. Elias smiled when we got in the car.
