Mercy ~A Bang Chan FF~

~Chapter 15~

Changbin | Sunday Morning| 9:00 a.m.

I had asked all of Y/N's remaining family and friends if they knew where she was, but there was no luck. Everyone said they hadn't seen her in either days or months. Calling the police was not an option for me because I still didn't know the whole story yet. Plus, I didn't want to turn everything into one big story on the news. Now, that would be chaos.

It had been hard to sleep that night because of everything that was going on in my mind, but I just wanted my best friend back. I didn't know if she wanted to be more than friends, but it was too soon to tell. She knew that I liked her, but maybe she was looking for something else. 

Sighing, I decided to go for a walk outside. Maybe it would help me clear my head, I didn't know. Leaving the apartment, I stepped out into the cool, morning air. It was cloudy, now that the storm had stopped. People were able to be heard in the streets from every direction, except in the direction of the forest. I needed silence and peace of mind, so, I started walking in the direction of the forest. Who knows? I might even find Y/N.

Y/N

Wait, am I cheating on Changbin? Oh yeah, him and I were never together... Strange thoughts entered my mind as soon as I woke up. But my conscience immediately came back to me as soon as I opened my eyes, laying in Chan's arms. I smiled as my eyes closed again, not wanting to wake up from the dream. 

Thinking with my eyes closed, I questioned if me and Chan were moving too quickly. The more I thought about it, I didn't think him and I knew enough about each other. But I wasn't going to confront him about it, it would be too awkward. So, I stayed quiet. It probably wasn't the best thing to do, but I liked him and didn't want to ruin our relationship. Even though we weren't dating.

~~~ 

As we were having breakfast, we talked about our interests and he told me more about himself. It was nice to get to know him better, but he didn't tell me much about his work. Probably because he worked for the Mafia, which wasn't the best thing to talk about, 

"Actually, besides me, I have something else to tell you." He said, sitting down across from me. 

"I don't think you'll like it, but it's best to tell you than to keep it a secret." He sighed, smile fading. 

I looked at him, listening. What could he have to tell me? 

"What do you mean?" I asked, my smile fading as well. 

"I mean, it's about your father. He's not who you thought he was." He said, looking down, trying to face the facts. Though, I had no idea what the facts were. 

I looked at him with a confused expression, I knew that I wasn't going to like what I was about to hear, he didn't need to tell me that. 

"Your father worked with the Mafia, my boss specifically. They made a deal to help your father's company, but the deal failed and your father... he killed himself." Chan said slowly, I knew that this was hard for him as well. He was so ashamed even though he didn't need to be. 

It took me a moment to process what Chan was saying, then, it hit me and I broke. I covered my face with my sleeves and just cried. I wasn't going to be shameless and just let myself cry in front of Chan, I wasn't that broken. My father had lied to us after all, which made me wonder, had my mother known about my father and his lies? Had she been lying to me too? 

Chan came over to me and hugged me, he sat next to me and just hugged me as I cried. It felt good to cry after a while, even though I had just barely cried at my father's funeral. I regret that now. 

"What else do I not know?" I asked, wiping my tears. 

"I- I can't tell you anything else right now." He replied.

"But I want to know." I said, shedding another tear as I looked at him.

"It's not that I can't tell you, I don't want to tell you because I hate seeing you cry." He said, wiping my remaining tears. 

"Everything is just so messed up. Lee Know wants me to kill you and he's already getting impatient, and Changbin is looking for you." He said, laughing through the pain. 

"Wait, Changbin is looking for me?" I asked.

Chan nodded his head. 

I don't know why, but I smiled at that, laughing for a second. He laughed too, we both smiled as we shed our last remaining tears. But then, we were interrupted by a knock at the door.
