Baekhyun's POV

It has been raining, and I have been staring at my glass window, watching the as the water falls for God knows how long. I am sitting on my couch na katapat ng malaking glass window, I'm on my pent house unit anyway.

 All I can feel right now is malamig, it's a bit dim dahil nakapatay ang mga ilaw sa kwarto ko except sa isang lamp shade na dim lang ang ilaw.

In my right hand is a lighter that I have been fiddling on kanina pa. On the other hand is a hunting knife where I have been running my thumb on the safe side. Ramdam ko na din ang lamig ng metal blade, and the thick liquid on it.

Tinaas ko ang hunting knife on my eye level, kasabay non ang mabagal na pagtulo ng dugo sa dulo nito. There's a lot of blood in this knife, and I am loving the color of it. Kahit yung handle nito ay may bakas ng mga dugo.

I heard the door open, pero hindi ako lumingon. I just waited for that person to speak up.

"What the hell is this, Baek?"

It's Junmyeon Kim, my Dad's right hand.

Dahan dahan akong tumayo mula sa pagkakaupo ko sa couch. I turned to him with a cold glare. Nakita ko kung papano medyo nanlaki ang mga mata nya when he saw me. Maybe it's the blood splashes all over me, on my suit, a few on my face, maybe even in my gray hair. Even with that, mabilis nyang naibalik ang composure nya.

"Clean this mess up, will you?" I tell him.

Inside my room are 2 dead bodies, blood all over the floor, on my couch, on my bed, on my wall. Hell, it's a bloodbath in my room.

Umiling na lang si Junmyeon before pulling out his phone from his pocket.

"Clean yourself up, will you?" He tells me.

Junmyeon walked away from my door, and headed to my living room. There I heard him on the phone telling whoever it is to come in my unit to clean this mess I just made.

I headed to my bathroom, and cleaned myself up, these bloods are annoying me now anyway. I opened up the shower, not really minding na malamig ang tubig. It felt relaxing as the water run down all over my body. Kita ko din on how the blood mixed with water as it swirls down the drain. I took a deep breath before looking up, letting the water from the shower hit my face for a few seconds.

After taking a shower, and fixing myself up, I headed to the living room kung san nakita ko si Junmyeon na nakaupo, obviously waiting for me. He looked at me, at nanatili lang akong nakatayo across him.

"Ano nanaman ba ito, Baek?" He asked before pinching the bridge of his nose sabay iling.

"They won't talk." I answered. "They followed me, so I ---"

"That's not the point, Baek." Kalmadong putol saken ni Junmyeon.

"Then what is?" Tanong ko.

"I told you to stay low." Junmyeon looked at me. "Hindi pa natin alam kung sinong humahabol sayo."

"What, you want me to hide?" Tanong ko muli. 

"We already talked about this!" Napatayo na si Junmyeon upon saying this. "Why won't you listen?"

I clenched my fist, pero sinubukan ko pa din na kumalma. So I took a deep breath hoping na sana magrelax ang katawan ko.

"I lost my Mother, just in case you forgot." Sagot ko, and I saw how his expression shifted. "While my Dad is fighting for his life, and I can't even visit him."

Nagtinginan lang kami, I know that he is waiting for what I have to say.

"Then, you want me to stay low?" I added.

"Baek, you, and I both know that your Dad was the one who requested for you to lay low." Junmyeon tells me, more like reminded me.

Hindi ako nakasagot kasi what Junmyeon said is right. Before my Dad fell into a coma because of the ambush, he told us to stay low. Kung ako lang naman, I can do that, wala namang problema sana. But then, that same ambush took my Mom away from us.

Before the ambush, my Dad already told me that something bad might happen soon. Ganun na nga ang nangyari. After non, he talked to me, and Junmyeon to lay out a plan for my safety dahil ang tingin nila ay hindi lang isang pamilya ang kumakalaban samin. 

Well, it's illegal society after all, the dangerous side of business, of course magulo, delikado. Our lives are always on the line, hindi mo alam kung bukas ba ay sisikatan ka pa ng araw or hindi na.

"We will push through with the plan that your Dad made." Junmyeon says, taking me back to my senses.

He handed me an envelope na kinuha ko naman. I opened it to see a few papers, and ID cards.

"Na-ready ko na yung condo unit mo sa BGC. I also falsified a few documents, and a few IDs that you can use. Naka-set up na din ang bank accounts mo don under the name na ginamit sa mga IDs."

I closed the envelope before looking at Junmyeon again who just looked at me as well.

"Gano ba katagal tong magiging set up?" I asked.

"Hanggang sa mahanap lang natin kung sino talaga ang pinaka-kaaway nyo." Sagot nya sakin. "Reminder lang Baek, parang awa mo na, wag kang pupunta sa hospital. We believe na it might be infiltrated already, I have Chanyeol checking it already."

"Si Yeol?" Tanong ko, and tumango naman si Junmyeon.

"Bakit kay Yeol mo pa pinagawa?" Tanong ko ulit. "Alam mo namang may pamilya na yon, baka madamay pa sina Ji, at ang inaanak ko."

"Unlike you, Chanyeol knows how to work low key." Junmyeon answered. "He agreed naman, sya din ang isa sa doctor ng mga Dad mo na may access sa Restricted Floor."

"Please, make sure na safe sina Ji, and Hyunjin." I tell him. "Make sure na may mga nagbabantay sakanila kahit from afar lang."

"Chanyeol already has that covered, Baek." Junmyeon tells me. "You don't have to worry too much, mas mag-alala ka para sa sarili mo."

I was about to say something nung mag-ring ang doorbell ng unit ko.

"They're here." Sabi ni Junmyeon before turning his back on me to open the door.

Pumasok sa unit ko ang mga tauhan namin na madalas naglilinis ng mga dead bodies.

"Please make sure to clean everything, make sure that the place is spotless." Utos ni Junmyeon na tinanguan naman ng mga tao.

"Let's go, Baek." Tawag nya sakin.

I grabbed the duffle bag from the couch, before following Junmyeon who already left my unit.
