Chapter 12: hurricane

Ran: "Is she?.."

Sanzu rose a brow at Ran before pushing a few strands of hair from your face. Blood was dripping slowly from your forehead while Sanzu was carrying you bridal style, the sinister smile never leaving his face.

Sanzu: "Dead? "

Ran: "Yeah"

Sanzu: "No.. not yet at least."

Ran: "Wait, just.. wait."

Sanzu: stop worrying about your wounded little bird, she's only getting what she fucking deserves.. No one messes with the king and lives to tell the tale.
And if you know what's good for you you'll stay away from this, keep your head down and thank boss for sparing you. You got lucky Haitani.

Ran was at a loss of words. He was so sure that if it were for Mikey to ever find out about this affair, both of you would suffer the consequences but for some reason.. it was only you paying the price.

Rindou came from behind and put a hand over Ran's shoulder, patting it in an attempt to comfort him as Sanzu was taking you away, leaving a trail of blood behind him.

Rindou: "There's gonna be others"

Ran simply nodded, trying his best to keep himself composed.

When you finally opened your eyes everything hurt. You were sitting on the concrete floor, your hands and legs tied, with a throbbing headache caused by the commotion from before.

The room was cold and empty, with no furniture inside, just you and a dim white light so you figured this must've been the room they use for "disposal".

You deserved it, you, as the ones that previously visited this room, were a traitor.

It didn't exactly came as a surprise that you ended up in this kind of situation.

You laughed to yourself.

You had a whole future awaiting for you before Mikey. You could've been a doctor, but you gave all that up for what? A loveless marriage that also served as your death certificate.

But if you would've chosen a different path.. what about Ran? Would've the two of you still meet each other?  Probably not.

.. such weird thoughts for a person that is awaiting her execution.

The door cracked open mid thoughts and you froze.

You didn't even need to look, you knew it was him. The air suddenly felt heavier as his voice filled the quiet room.

He got closer and nudged you a bit so you would look up at him.

Mikey: "So.. Haitani Ran huh?"

Y/n: "Just get it over it, will you?"

Mikey: "What, no sorry? No begging?"

You laughed

Y/n: "Even if I was sorry, which I'm not, would it really change the ending?"

Mikey: "You never know.. Why did you do it y/n?"

Y/n: "Spare me the fucking dramatics Mikey, you know why. I got tired of being married to a fucking ghost and needed a human connection. Nothing more, nothing less. I was lonely.. and he was there."

Miney: "You never said anything"

Y/n: "You never asked! You saw how miserable I was, you're not blind.. you just didn't care."

Mikey: "Do you love him?"

Y/n: "Does it matter?"

Mikey: "It might. I will not ask for a third time y/n. DO. YOU. LOVE. HIM."
