The strangest dream entered my mind as I slept. Lee Know was stuffing tissues in my mouth forcefully, but I woke up before anything worse could happen to me. The sound of rain woke me up. Or was it hail? It was either rain or hail mixed with thunder and sudden flashes of lightning. It was scary whatever it was. But it was louder than usual, as if I was right next to it. 

I opened my eyes to see what was the matter and I noticed that I was in a car, my head leaning on Chan's shoulder. We were in Felix's car! Chan was sitting next to the window, and I was in the seat next to him. Next to me was Changbin, then Hyunjin next to Changbin.

I turned to Chan, questioning what was going on because it was the middle of the night and we had just appeared in the car. Was the Mafia after us again? It was all so confusing to me, especially because I had just woken up.

Chan turned to me and smiled. 

"Why are we in the car?" I whispered for some reason. I was just so used to the silence and didn't want to break it. There was already enough noise coming from outside.

Chan's smile faded.

"The Mafia is after us again, trying to avenge Lee Know. I didn't even know they were in the Mafia, they were so well undercover." He said.

"Who was it?" I asked, no clue on who was undercover or if I even knew them

"Seungmin and Jeongin, you know? Jeongin from your apartment building?" He replied.

Wait, what? Jeongin was always smiling and happy to greet everyone. I knew him personally! And his boyfriend, Seungmin, was always so happy when he was around Jeongin. How could they be Mafias? 

"What? They're Mafias?" I was even more confused now.

"Turns out. One of them texted me, then came to our door while you were asleep. They had the rest of the Mafia with them and tried to fight us, but Felix and Han came and helped us take care of them. They were after you an me" He replied, whispering back. 

"That's right." Felix said, nodding his head as he continued driving in the storm.

"Are we going to be okay?" I asked, suddenly wondering if the Mafia were behind us.

"Yes, we're fine. We lost them about thirty minutes ago, but we're continuing the rest of the plan to escape." He replied, calming me down. 

I lost tension at his words. I was going to have to trust him now if we were going to continue with the plan: Run away to Japan where the Mafia can't find them, get new lives, new identities. That was the part of the plan that I knew, but I didn't know if there was more. But here wasn't any going back. The Mafia was after us again, and I wasn't planning on trying to put Chan and I through any of that. 

As I laid my head back on Chan's shoulder, I thought about all the things the Mafia had done to us and our lives. Lee Know lit me on fire, tortured myself and friends, made me believe I wasn't someone worth loving, poisoned me... Wait, he poisoned me! I opened my eyes, finally remembering that I had been poisoned by Lee Know. The effects had already started to wear off though. Thankfully... So it was nothing to worry about.

Falling back asleep, I couldn't help but find the rain soothing as it relaxed a little bit and the storm died down. Finally, peace. I was asleep in no time, being able to have peace of mind for once. No more Lee Know. No more Mafia.
