Perfectly Fake

5.

Phoenix helped Xan on his feet as their father and older siblings greeted them with a family hug. Abele congratulated both boys, giving that he'd been aside for most part. Jungkook joined Phoenix by his side, jumping onto his back not caring if the boy had been through shit the last hour or so. "¡Oye!"

Xan secretly watched their interact, suddenly feeling upset yet tried not to show it. Rowan, knowing her brother, pulled him close but not daring to speak about the matter. It wasn't her business. She just wanted both to work things out.

During the training session, Speedy requested that all unattended maids etc. to set an all out, extravagant dinner. Everyone, somehow, found themselves lost in conversation as they entered the dining room. Seokjin, Rowan, and Phoenix dramatically gasped while the others looked at them weirdly as if they never saw a table filled with the most delicious food from basically all over the world. They each sat down in their reserved seats and was served respectively. The delicious meals looked very high classed, their father always wanting the best.

"so how was the training boys?" Speedy asked his boys, well two out of three, looked at their dad and in unison said, "Tiring." which causes everyone to laugh/chuckle, "Well, at least you boys did better than your brother and sister." Rowan and Abele gasped at, audibly offended.

"hey!" — "dad." Speedy laughs. The man pause for a moment, taking in the sight of his family smiling, laughing and being together as it was their last days. He trusted into his children. However, warns them that the business itself is deadly. He'd seen respected families torn, some by him, divided by to greed, power and blood.

Speedy blinked. And dinner finally came to an end. All the boys, plus rowan, made their way to the rooms.

When Xan entered his room, he changed out of his clothes and into a pair of sweats and a tank. He lied on his bed and stared at the ceiling, remembering his fight with Jimin earlier on in the day. He wanted to share this moment with him, just as his siblings did with their best friends. He didn't like the feeling that his best friend didn't support him or what he did. He was heartbroken. His eyes were starting to tear up and with a single breath he took, he broke down. Tears rolled down his face as he struggled to breathe, he tried to keep his sobs down, he didn't want anyone to hear. He held his hands up to his face as he rolled to his side, his eyes were shut tightly his breaths raggedy and body shaking, he felt alone. His own best friend made him feel alone. For what felt like hours, Xan cries died down. He inhaled a deep breath and fell asleep. Dreaming about what it would be like to be normal.

In the dark room, basement. A mans' sacked, tied to a chair and released muffle cries. He owe everything to him-even his soul. Speedy walked into the light, a glint in his eyes along with a reflection of sliver. The tied up man, now depending on hearing, had detected the slow footsteps and struggled. "times up." he mocked, placing the cold muzzle against his head and 'POW' pulling the trigger.
