Dead bloody bodies were found lying on the floor of the cold warehouse. Some were struggling to keep themselves alive. Pain were written on the survivors faces. Only two were standing up, fighting the pain.
"Why are you doing this? Do you want to hurt us even more? We sacrificed ourselves for you. We covered all the evidence of your murders. Now you want to betray us? When will all our actions be enough for you?" A voice hollered. A brown-haired boy stared icyly at the blond-haired boy in front of him. The eyeliner around his eyes made him look creepier. The blond-haired boy smirked at him. "Never! The group that I am in now understands me better, and more! They are like me, and I don't need to be told what to do. I can be myself among them!"
The EXO members were shocked by Kris's words. The member whom they cared for such a long time actually said that to them. They treated him like family since their childhood days. The 12 of them were like brothers, even though they weren't related. The laughter and joy they shared to the sad and angry moments, they were always as one, inseparable. They were famous in the schools all of them went together, kingkas to be exact. They loved shipping the members with the girls they had crushes on, one of the many memorable moments they shared. When some got into fights, the others got pissed off and didn't want to talk to them for days. It never lasted for more than a week, one of the few angry moments they shared. When one got heartbroken, the remaining 11 would rush up to him to confort him, lending him their shoulders to rest, one of the few conforting moments they shared. Their families didn't have to worry when EXO were together. The gang also felt safe. This was how strong their friendship was. The friendship that lasted for many years.
Then, one day, Kris, Chen, Tao and Kai were on their way back to their dorm when they saw a gang fight in the alley. Kris was amazed by how strong and powerful the leading gang was. His eyes sparkled at the sight. Kai saw it and snapped his fingers in front of Kris's eyes. Kris immediately woke up and followed them back. From that day onwards, he would secretly go out to see that powerful gang. After a few visits, one of the gang members spotted him. He asked if Kris wanted to join them and he joined willingly without sparring a thought for the rest of EXO. He would follow them to fights with the other gangs and go back to the dorm with bruises. Suho and Kyungsoo would ask him what happened when they patch up his wounds but he would not answer them. They found out when they secretly followed Kris. Their hearts broke seeing their friend betraying them for the gang he amired.
"So you want to follow them don't you? You didn't tell us about your decision and left us like that. You kept us in the dark. That shows you don't trust us.Go then, we don't need a betrayer like you!" Suho had bellowed that night. Tao, Kris's closest friend among EXO, felt hurt the most. Kris would confide in him and tell him all his secrets. EXO tried their best to hold back their tears but failed to do. The tears kept flowing down. That day was the worst day ever.
Baekhyun picked up the gun that was on the cold, hard floor. The gun was kicked to his side during the fight. That was the only weapon closest to him. Kris was unarmed and the only way to prevent himself from getting hurt was to stop Baekhyun from shooting. He charged towards Baekhyun with all his energy. Baekhyun saw and lifted the gun, pulling the trigger. A ear-piercing shot echoed the walls of the abandoned warehouse. Kris closed his eyes when the bullet came charging towards him. The bullet went straight to his chest, he gruntted as the pain was too strong for him to bare. He hit hard on the floor arms and legs spread out. Blood started to flow out of his chest. Baekhyun watched in horror. His eyes widened and he dropped the gun. He could not believe he actually did it. He just caused his friend to slow death.
The other EXO members got up, those who had injured legs limped towards Kris. Tao was the first to reach his friend. He rested Kris on his arm and kept shaking Kris, hoping that he was alive. Kris slowly opened his eyes and looked at his surroundings. His true friends were all around him with worrying eyes. He put on a small smile. "I...I am sorry for everything that I have caused. I let you you all down. I broke our promise. I promised to stay with all of you forever, to be one. I did not think of EXO when I joined them. I...I wanted to be as strong as them so badly. Forgive me..." He spoke. Sadness and regrets were spoken through his words. "Thank you for taking care of me all these years... Take care of my family for me. Tell them I let them down. I realised one thing and I am sure of it, you all are the people that I can't bare to leave apart from my family. Remember me... I will see all of you again in the stars or sky, or in our next lives..." Just like that, his soul dissapeared from the earth. No one could save him from the brink of death. Chanyeol walked to the nearest pillar and kicked and banged his hands on it. His knuckles nearly bled if it wasn't for Xiumin who stopped him. They cried and cried, their hearts were broken and they thought it would never heal again...
Goodbye Galaxy... Goodbye Duizhang.... Goodbye Kris...
3 Years Later...
The photo of the 12 of them hung on the wall. Every year during Kris's death anniversary, they would look at the videos and photos of their good times. They would laugh and cry. They knew in their hearts that Kris was always with them....
Hi readers! I hope you enjoyed this fanfic. I know that most or all of you are sad over the news of EXO's Kris. But always remember this, he wouldn't want to see us cry. We have to be strong no matter what happens in the future. Don't turn our backs and walk away from EXO, even if it isn't EXO anymore. Hwaiting!
