DEPUTY - woosan

Tears dropped down San's cheeks as he caressed and admired the purple delicate flower, younger San slowly faded away too but San was too immersed with the flower to notice. The image was
heart-shatteringly beautiful, in the otherwise empty, cold, deserted and dead place - a now beautiful purple rose stood and shone in the exact place Wooyoung once stood.

This came from Wooyoung, and he was being true to his words.

He was healing San.

1 day earlier..

Mingi watched as San pulled Wooyoung away, he gasped for air but felt like no matter how much he inhaled it didn't get any easier breathing. He had an arm wrapped around his waist and adding pressure to the stab wounds.
Hyunjin watched Mingi with wary eyes, now suddenly feeling a slight bit awkward.

" You okay bro? " Hyunjin asks, slightly kneeling down to talk to Mingi, he wondered if he should call for any of the Diablos members but he wasn't sure.

He heard the door to the club swing open, out came Jongho who was chatting up a lady. Jongho looked over and saw Mingi on the ground and Hyunjin standing over him, if you didn't know the context you'd believe Hyunjin was the one responsible.. but Jongho knew that San was the one who did this.

Jongho bid the female goodbye, taking her hand and kissing the top of it like the gentleman he is before walking over to Hyunjin.
" This is San's doing.. am I right? " Jongho spoke, lighting up a cigarette and taking a drag, feeling the smoke fill his lungs. Hyunjin frowned.

" Yeah. " Hyunjin replied, Mingi groaned and lifted his hand to look at the bloody stab wound. He moaned in pain and looked up at the two men standing there looking at him like he was some kind of entertainment show to them.

" Are you g-guys really gonna j-just stand and w-watch me b-bleed out? " Mingi croaks, and Hyunjin snickers. Jongho gave Hyunjin a small look before bending down to help Mingi stand up.

Jongho was neither good or bad guy, he's like in-between the two titles. He's not part of a gang which justifies him helping Mingi out in a moment of weakness because Mingi is technically not his enemy. Jongho helped him stand, holding Mingi's arm over his shoulder and letting Mingi lean on him.

" Why did San stab you? " Jongho asks, being a curious little bird.

Mingi stayed silent before sighing.
" 2 gang rivals liking the same guy could never end well.. " Mingi spoke, shaking his head in disbelief.

Jongho seemed a bit in shock at what Mingi said, Jongho had known San for all his life basically and he had never once seen San ever falling in love with someone. Hell he wasn't even sure if San knew the concept of falling in love with someone as San had already made it clear that he found the idea of sticking to one person for the rest of someone's life ridiculous.

Jongho was sure that he himself would sometime settle down maybe in his 30s or 40s, he'd find himself someone special and marry them, maybe have kids someday if they both agreed to.
He was sure that he'd invite San to his wedding, maybe have him be his best man, but he'd never imagine San bringing along a date.
Whenever Jongho pictured his future, San was always alone. San was a lone wolf afterall, someone who was deemed better off on their own.
