If they had been in a movie, it would've made things a lot easier.

Movie characters seem to know what to do and when to do it. Chan had no idea.

He kept looking at the others, trying to ignore the dead Seungmin on the floor and how broken Hyunjin looked. It sounds easy, but for Chan it was the most difficult thing in the world.

Minho looked scared. He knew what would happen if JYP succeeded. He'd loose his new family and go to jail for a murder he never committed. Everyone would find him guilty - he had a reason why.

Woojin looked worried. His eyes drifted over to Hyunjin, then Seungmin, then Felix, Changbin and Lulu. There was no way they were getting out of this without a trauma.

Changbin had moved in front of Lulu to become his shield. If JYP were to shoot at them, at least Lulu would be safe.

Chan's eyes returned to the barrel of the gun. "Who will you shoot?"

JYP smirked, an expression Chan never wanted to see on his face ever again afterwards. "Why? So that you can protect him?"

He used his gun to scratch his chin. "You know what? I just had an amazing idea!! To prevent you from saving everyone, you'll simply have to die first!" With a swift movement the gun was pointed at Chan.

Then...

JYP stopped. Everything had gone silent, even Hyunjin's sobbing had died down.

They could all hear the sounds coming from the stairs. Voices.

Someone was coming.

JYP clicked his tongue in annoyance. "Why oh why are these idiots still in my company?", he mumbled.

"I swear I heard a gunshot!", Jackson exclaimed.

"Sorry to break it to you, hyung, we're not in an action movie," BamBam answered and they could hear Yugyeom laughing.

Help. Finally, help.

"What if Jackson is right?", Jinyoung thought aloud. "I mean, have you seen the condition Hyunjin was in? Additionally to the fact that he had been missing for two months!!"

"Thank you!!", Jackson yelled.

They were reaching the end of the stairs.

"Well, fuck it," JYP said. "If I can't take down all of you, I might as well kill one more, huh?"

And with that, he shot, the same second Got7 reached the end of the stairs.

BamBam watched with his eyes widened in shock, how his best friend lifted his hand to touch his chest, blood covering it when he removed it.

"CHRIS!!"

It was kind of like the scene in a Drama where the male lead is too slow and doesn't manage to save his lover, so she dies in his arms.

"Oops," JYP said, before Felix kicked the gun out of his hands, catapulting it away, close to the entrance, where a boy picked it up.

"DON'T LET HIM GET IT BACK!!", Felix yelled.

The boy didn't seem to understand the situation, but he pointed the gun at JYP. "Move and I'll shoot."

And then Felix recognised the boy...

Yejun was back, proving that he was on their side.

Only then Mark ripped out his cellphone to call an ambulance and JB managed to do the same, but called the police.

Stray Kids unfroze when their leader dropped to the floor, unconscious and bleeding.

"CHANNIE!!", Woojin was by his side in seconds, while BamBam couldn't move, he just watched how the puddle of blood grew bigger.

Felix broke down on the spot, the adrenaline had kept him from crying, but now the events of the day crushed down on him.

Changbin wrapped his arms around, keeping him on his feet while talking to him in a soft tone.

Hyunjin crawled towards Seungmin. Minho, who wasn't moving, only staring at the two possibly dead people on the floor, didn't have the strength to stop him, maybe he also didn't realise that Hyunjin was moving in the first place.

When the visual reached Seungmin, he put his head on the boy's chest to check his heart beat, then broke down in tears, before fully passing out.

Jisung helped Yejun out by staring holes into JYP, who started getting nervous. You could disguise the death of fourteen people by blaming one of the people still alive, especially if that person was being suspected by the only other person alive. But there were more and more people coming.

Sirens sounded in the distance. The Police and Ambulance were coming.

"It's over."

~♥~

The first words Chan uttered when he woke up were "Drop charges."

Chan woke up earlier than doctors expected. He woke up before they had gone to court with (against?) JYP. Stray Kids had decided to wait for him to awake anyways, because they wanted him to decide.

They hadn't expected him to want to drop charges. He didn't want to sue JYP. Instead, he wanted JYP to let all his artists go, with their names and albums and everything, and then retire. "Suing doesn't solve anything."

Only a few weeks later there was a huge auditioning, where groups auditioned in front of all the CEOs of different companies to maybe debut under their lable.

Seungmin woke up about a month after the incident, two days before Hyunjin's birthday.

Minho left Stray Kids, already before auditions officially started.

"I love you all," he had said, "but you don't seem to if you think that I would hurt anyone of you. I'm sorry, I'll find a new company, a new group, a new family. I'll start over."

Hello y'all.
This is the end, huh? Not really.
Y'all wanted another book, but I'm just gonna add a few extra chapters on how theuly deal with the aftereffects.
Thank you for reading.
