Chapter 57
Ten stares off into the distance. He's never been emotional. He's never allowed himself but something about leaving the country without hearing from anyone made him a bit emotional.
Not a single person would even know he's gone. No one would come look for him. The thought of that made him feel some sort of way but he brushes it off.
"The boat is arriving in 5 minutes," Hyunjin announces, pulling Ten out of his train of thoughts. "It'll take you to Vietnam. I have people over who'll help you. From there you can take the plane to L.A." he explains to Ten.
Ten looks over at the endless sea.
"Have you ever traveled out of Korea?" Hyunjin asks, sitting down on a tree stump.
"Lived in Thailand when I was five. Stayed there for 5 years. I only went 2 years ago but that was for a mission." Ten tells him.
"That's cool." Hyunjin hums. Ten shrugs it off though. He sighs upon realizing he's here casually talking to Hyunjin. He's become so pathetic, he thinks.
Ten stops, hearing something in the grass. He turns around only for two men to jump at him.
"What the fuck!" Hyunjin shouts, panicked before he's punched across the face. Ten yelps as a needle is forced into his neck.
He turns his head to see Hyunjin being thrown into the water. "Shit. . ." His mind is feels foggy as his vision blurs and soon, everything goes black.

Karina comes in with the phone and her laptop. Taeyong closes the door behind her out of caution. They couldn't have this out of all things be heard and leaked.
They could not afford that.
"What?" Karina asks, noticing the look of absolute horror on Johnny's face as he held the letter. She looks at Taeyong, hoping for an answer but he looks just as equally disturbed, as if he found out something gut wrenching.
Taeyong takes the paper from Johnny and hands it to Karina.
Karina takes a deep breath, preparing herself. It reads: Dear, Nakyung
My son seems to have grown wings. He now challenges me. It's no doubt he has found out the nature of his mother's death. He doesn't understand that I killed her for him. I did it for his own good. I did it so he could reach his full potential. An ungrateful brat he is. Park Chanyeol and Lee Taeyong have poisoned his mind and have turned my own flesh and blood against me. My son has a monster sleeping in him. His rage. I saw it in him. I see it in his eyes, even more now as he's been closer and closer to the truth. That monster in him will awaken and will kill me. This will make my boy, John, a disgrace to the legacy of NCT. It will taint its image and do irreversible damage so I want you to end it all with honor. After my death, you will end NCT, end my son and our comrades' children. I know they won't forgive you as they do not understand but it will all be worth it in the end. End our legacy in an honorable way and take it all for your keeping. Remember that I love you, Nakyung. Do this for me. Kill them.
From your love, Arthur
With a shaking hand, she covers her mouth as she gasps.
