STOLEN

thirty

❝you were being too stubborn.❞ renjun rolls his eyes at haechan.

❝i was brokenhearted!❞ haechan fusses and throws a pillow towards renjun. yangyang catches it and laughs. ❝i hate you!❞

❝hey, hey, chill now. alright?❞ johnny becomes the mediator. ❝we just need to talk this out.❞

haechan obeys and sits down beside ten which is a lot farther from me, by the way. when i got here, he was all over but right now, he's a little distant. i think he is really mad about this whole thing.

i actually had a big problem back home and it's related to my dad. i know they kicked me out and i hate them but you see, he's still my dad.

he contacted me thirty minutes before we were supposed to go to the airport and asked me if i can stay with him for a while. of course, i didn't agree.

but then he says he wants me to meet someone else and for heaven's sake, it was haechan's mom! my father was dating his mom and so i took that chance to 'supposedly' fight them.

i contacted the gang and told everyone about it however, johnny didn't want to tell haechan. i understand his point too.

haechan would want to meet his mom for the last time and we cannot risk it. haechan would probably not want to send his mom to prison, forgive her and take her in and we don't want that. his mom is a devil!

❝we already told you, right?❞ renjun tells haechan. ❝you should've listened to him or atleast to us. but you shut us out because of how much you hated mark.❞

❝i would've hated me too.❞ i uttered.

i promised him i will be with him all the time but i wasn't able to. i needed to do a bigger thing for us to be safe. and this is also something that the boss would love to see if he was alive: to see the other gang surrender in terror.

haechan's mom greeted me with a smile when i met them. i thought she already knows me since she's obsessed with the gang that i am in but no, she doesn't realize who i am. or maybe it's the hair and the dye but anyway, she really welcomed me.

my dad introduced her. i realized then that this is the woman my dad cheated on my mom with. i hated her even more.

❝she's not going here, is she?❞ haechan reluctantly said while looking straight into my eyes.

i shake my head.

what they didn't know was that behind the doors, my members are already waiting to attack. an hour later, jaemin, jaehyun and chenle went in to shower them bullets, including the other gang's members.

my dad managed to escape when the woman brought him with her but i got to stop them. i clanked my gun towards the vase beside them and yelled at them to stop.

haechan added, ❝did she die?❞

i remember my dad saying that he's dying, that's why he invited me there. my heart goes out to him but when i realized that they were distracting me for the woman to pull a gun, i immediately pulled the trigger and hit her.

❝i'm sorry.❞

he sighed, ❝it's okay. i haven't met her anyway.❞

he says that but then his tears are falling. this is what i'm afraid of.

❝get into your room.❞ johnny kisses his hair and lets him walk out of the living room.

my heart aches even more.

❝you did great, mark. thank you so much.❞ ten hyung hugged me and it was by far the most comforting thing.

i lost my dad, the only family that i know of, but i gained this. a family from a gang.
