Jiseok's blood boiled as he read the note.
Tears started to sting his eyes. He quickly wiped one as soon as it fell. Nobody, not even himself, should see him in such a condition.
He shoved the paper inside a drawer and went to the kitchen.
He blankly stared at the cookies kept at the counter.
He picked up one of them and snapped it in half.
"Just like how I would snap his goddamn neck the next time I see him."
He smiled to himself.
"Did you like the cookies?" Jooyeon timidly asked, disturbing the eerie silence.
"No." Jiseok replied coldly and went to his room, slamming the door behind him.
"Well, that was weird." Jooyeon whispered to himself before eating some of the leftover cookies because, GOD, they tasted heavenly.
Jiseok sat in his room, staring at his reflection in the mirror.
"Look what you've done." He smirked.
The series of knocks interrupted him while he was planning his 5-step murder.
"Are you okay, Jiseok?"
"Yes." He answered almost immediately.
"Are you going to eat dinner?"
"No."
"Uhm... Fine then. There are still some cookies left in the fridge if you are in need of a midnight snack."
"Burn them..."
"What?"
"Nothing."
Jooyeon quietly went to his room, trying not to make a sound.
According to him, Jiseok had been acting a little weird that night.
-
He slid his hands along the nightstand, not willing to open his eyes.
"Damn, Jooyeon. Did you really forget to put water beside you while you sleep?"
Welp, he reluctantly woke up to get that 3 a.m. water. when he noticed the basement door slightly open.
Since he already woke up, he decided that it would not hurt that much to know what was happening in the basement since the last time he saw it was 4 days ago, when he initially got dragged into this one hell of a place.
He decided to just wait by the stairs since interfering with Jiseok's 'work' meant booking a reservation ticket to heaven.
"Gaon, what do you wan-"
Wait, this sounds familiar.
Is it...
Junhan?!
"Welcome Junnie. Long time, no see."
"What are you talking about? We just met this evening."
Chuckles were heard.
"You are so naive, my dear Junnie. I am talking about the future."
"What do you mean by that?"
"We are probably not going to be seeing each other for a very long time after this night."
A silence spread across the room.
"Aren't you going to say anything?"
"Well, what do you want me to say?"
"Maybe give an explanation or two about that little trick you pulled off today?"
"I am sorry..."
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, 'I AM SORRY'?"
"I loved, love, and will love Jooyeon till my last breath. And this fact cannot be changed by any force in the world. All I can say is that I am sorry."
"Well... you know what, Junhan?"
"What?"
"I am sorry."
Jooyeon held his breath and closed his eyes in anticipation as the silence engulfed the atmosphere once again.
And then he heard it.
The gunshot.

Hi lovelies!
If you have seen the conversation tab of my profile, you will know that I am kind of facing some health issues at the moment. I hope you all understand my current situation, because, needless to say, I AM tired A LOT.
So please forgive me for writing such an underwhelming chapter when this was supposed to be one of the most important chapters in this story. :P
Anyway, leave your feedback and criticism in the comments, because I am still a new writer.
Until next time...
Bye lovelies! <3
