Burn (Part 2 Of Caffeine)

Chapter 4

Seven hours. That's the amount of time it takes from Beijing to Qingdao. Our house in China was in Beijing since it was close to Kyus job. It's hard to believe how many times we actually have to move just for a job, it's like we're a military family. Kyu made it official that we were going to stay in America and visit Korea, China, and Japan. I guess that since his meetings and stuff usually take place in America, we have to stay there permanently. Not that it was a bad thing, Sun His' English would be better so that's good. The only thing bad about constantly going to different countries was schooling for my baby. Another thing that was sort of bad was that since I was near Qingdao, I could do my job and kill that Zi Tao kid.

"Minnie appa, bāngzhù!" Sun Hi yelled. I walked into the living room and gave her a quizzical look.

"I don't speak Chinese sorry." I replied back. She held a paper up and waved it at me.

"Help! I need help!" she yelled once again. I nodded and tried to help her. As I was about to help the phone rang. I ran to the phone and answered it.

"Cho Sungmin."

{You're in Beijing, you have seven hours. Go get that Zi Tao kid. It's either him or your child}

"O-okay. What do you want me to do?"

{You're the assassin. Figure it out yourself!}

So I'm an assassin now? Well that's just fantastic! I let out a loud sigh and Kyuhyun came running in the room.

"What's wrong?" he said out of breath. I looked at him and smiled, trying not to make it obvious some bad things are happening.

"Nothing." I shook my head. He came over and grabbed my hand.

"Don't lie, Lee Sungmin. There's something wrong. That's the expression you make when you hear the word 'murder,' what's going on?" I let out a silent sigh, I hated how well Kyuhyun knew me so well.

"There's these people who want me to kill someone or else Sun Hi will get hurt." I whispered to him. He gasped.

"Is it one person? Or is there more?" he asked quietly.

"I have the files..." I whispered. I went to go get it from my suitcase. I came back down and handed Kyu all of the files.

"There's so many. You can't do this alone..."

"Yes I can." I said back.

"I want to help you with this." I could tell he was about to beg. I thought for a moment before answering.

"You'd need training..." he smiled and hugged me tight.

"We should both do this, it's a lot of work you know. Well I assume."

"You have to work though, that's why I didn't want you to know. Just continue on with your SM building and I'll continue with my work." I said as I tried to escape the room.

"But I thought-" I left the house before I could hear the rest. I got into my car and tried to find the closest gun shop. I need to get this stupid job over with.

It was about midnight and I was in a tree outside that Zi Taos house. I was dressed in all black and had a pistol in my right hand. I waited until he was sleeping or walking around so I could get the right chance to shoot. I slowly climbed the tree to get a better view. I took my binoculars and looked through them. The kid was sleeping, he was tossing and turning. I felt sort of bad for the kid, but I have to do it. I put the silencer on the pistol and tried to reach the window that led to his room. Fortunately, it was unlocked. Stupid kid. I quietly stepped into the room, trying not to make a sound as I took steps closer to his bed. I aimed the gun at his head. I knew that pulling the trigger was one quick motion. I prepared myself. Then, I pulled it. I closed my eyes, hoping there were no bullets inside. I opened my eyes and saw blood oozing from his head. I escaped through the window and made and run to the car. I drove back to the house. There was something odd about that killing. I didn't feel guilty. It made me feel relieved, actually, I feel like I didn't give a shit about this guy. I could feel myself forming a smile on my face. I shouldn't be happy about what I just did but I couldn't help myself. The feeling of pulling the trigger and seeing the magic work. Even though I didn't see the murder happen, I could still imagine it.

I arrived at home and everyone was sleeping. I stripped everything I was wearing and put it into the oddly lit fire. I then ran up the stairs quietly to my room. I saw Kyu laying there in bed. I slowly for in the covers and kissed him. He opens his eyes slightly and I smiled at him, pulling him into a longer kiss.

"Why are you so happy?" he whispered.

"It's nothing..." I couldn't help myself from smiling. Was it wrong to smile after you just killed a person? I was hoping to not do that anymore, but I guess I know why I killed people in the first place. It felt good. It was like relieving my stress. I guess my new stress reliever was murder.
