Minho's POV
It's been hard to do our job with Jisung and Felix here. In the beginning, it was easy, mostly because we kept them confined in their rooms at night. Now they were allowed to roam freely around the house, except in the basement... they had no idea about this place.

I would keep it a secret forever if I could but I knew that would never be the case. I knew this part of our job would be shared with the two brothers any day now and I would be lying if I said that conversation didn't keep me up some nights.

When I looked into Jisung's eyes part of me felt like he wouldn't care about all the horrible things I do. There's this innocence in him that I can't quite describe. He's been through a lot and he had to grow up and mature at a young age, I think finally he's been allowing himself to just act his age and experience things. In this sense, it was this life.

I knew Jisung was fully allowing himself to submerge into this world and I didn't like it. Not one bit.

We were shot at and he tried to brush it off. Smile and joke about it but I can't have him do that. I don't want him to be reckless like that, I want him to feel everything. To talk to me and not blow it off like this was normal. It wasn't normal and once you start to feel that way... you're in too deep.

I walked down the stairs to the basement, it was harder to leave Jisung alone in bed tonight. I wanted to cling to him a bit longer but I also needed answers.

Taking the last step, I turn and my eyes look over the familiar yet unfamiliar male who sat there. His head hung low as the drugs wore off, he'd be up any moment now.

"Felix was asking questions" I looked to Hyunjin who looked towards the drugged male.

"Felix is still up?" I ask, crossing my arms, "You should've stayed with him until he fell asleep"

Hyunjin looks to me now, brows furrowed "His brother was shot at, you think he will be able to sleep soundly tonight?"

I held his hard gaze for a second longer "What did you tell him?"

"That we were going to find out who ordered the hit" Hyunjin shook his head lightly "He doesn't know about this guy"

Loud groaning makes us look towards the guy who sat on the chair. When I left Jisung in the car earlier, I called the others while I checked to see if the guys in the car were dead. One was and the other—the one from the store was alive... barely but Hyunjin kept him from dying. We needed answers before we allowed him to die. I told Jisung they were both dead because soon they would be.

Chan walks to me as the guy starts questioning where he is. Jeongin and Seungmin poked fun at him for a moment but I didn't pay any attention to the two as Chan talked to me "It doesn't look like he aimed for Jisung specifically, Changbin looked at the bullet holes and they were mostly aimed at you"

Inhale and nod slowly, "So you don't think this is the work of the person who tried to kill him?"

Chan shook his head lightly "I don't feel like it is" Relief washed over me. Someone wanting to kill me wasn't something unfamiliar to me. Still, we were not sure if the person who tried to kill Jisung was there for him or if he just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. This news puts me at ease and tells me there is a chance that there isn't someone out there actively trying to hurt Jisung.

I step to the guy who is now shaking his head in horror, recognizing me immediately. "Good, you know me," I said to the male, "Now you can tell me all about who sent you to shoot at me. I'm assuming whoever it was wanted me dead and wouldn't like the news that I'm only left with a small graze?"
