They all sit in silence. There was really nothing more to say. Actually... they just didn't know what to say. Yet, Chris had an idea. He didn't want Seungmin to get involved with any of this.
But then he remembers what Felix said. "If we don't want anyone dying, they're in this now no matter what." And he was right. There was a loud boom, and it starts to thunder and rain heavily outside.
"We... must tell them..." Minho says. However, he knew that everyone would object to that idea.
"Why?" Jeongin asks.
"Think about it. Really think about it. If they do not know that they are in danger, then they are just sitting ducks. We could go to sleep, then the next day when we wake up, they could be kidnapped or worse, dead." Honestly, Minho was making a valid point. "Now. We can do it now. Go find our partners and tell them what is happening. That's how we keep them safe, not by keeping it from them."
Everyone agrees, they were hesitant, but it was the right thing to do. Everyone goes their separate ways to find their partners. Chris makes his way back home and finds Seungmin in the same spot on his computer. Seungmin turns around when he hears the door open and smiles. "Hey." He says. Then he turns back around, typing on his computer.
"You're still on that...?" Chris asks, and Seungmin nods. "Well... can you get off really quick? I have something to tell you." Seungmin notices the hesitation in Chris' voice, so he closes his computer and walks over to him.
"Is there something wrong?"
"I just need to talk to you." The two boys sits down on the bed, Seungmin waiting for Chris to start talking. It was dark outside, the large window casting a shadow inside of the room. "Did you watch the news that day...?"
"...What day?" But then Seungmin remembers. There was a day that the news channel got hacked, and on it was a video that showed 4 people in the dark. One of them got shot. "Yeah I was."
"Those people on there..." He pauses. His eyes dart all over the room like he was trying to find an exit. His breathing quickens and he clasps his hands tightly together.
"Hyung." Seungmin grabs Chris' hands. "...What's wrong?" He asks. There was a brief moment of silence before Chris speaks up again.
"I was one of them." He says. His eyes meet Seungmin's, and what he sees is just... blank. "...Seungmin?" Did he mess up? He didn't want to lose Seungmin, he didn't want anything bad to happen to him.
"...What?" Seungmin's voice is quiet and almost shaking.
"I'm a hired assassin. I take jobs from my boss to go take care of people that the police won't."
"Hyung..."
"That was me on the news..."
"Hyung."
"When we went to that restaurant, that was a decoy because one of my targets was there."
"Hyung."
"I had to move here because someone threatened to kill me, my team, and you and your friends-"
"CHRIS!" Seungmin's loud tone snaps him out of his rambling session. The brunette stands up and stands in front of the window. The rain was hitting the window heavily. The silence is terrifying to Chris yet he can't do anything but sit and wait for Seungmin to say something. Anything. "So that was you..."
"What?"
"At that college party. There was a guy that was making me uncomfortable. And then someone... someone grabbed me and pulled me away from him. They showed me a message that told me not to look up at them. They killed that guy. He was your target, right?"
