Mutants (yoonseok) DISCONTINUED

chapter 15

It's been about a two months since Mr.Kim got that threatening note. He didn't think much of it until he started getting them more. Threatening to hurt his wife and his son. He couldn't tell the police because it's obviously somebody in his department. He decided to look into Yoongi's case even more. He didn't want this person to hurt the rest of his family, so he's planning on taking the fall for it.

He's not afraid to die. His job could get him killed any day. He was just afraid of leaving his wife and Namjoon alone. Namjoon lost one of his best friends. Even though Yoongi only went missing, he could still be dead. But Mr.Kim is prepared in case something happens to him. He's left videos and notes for Namjoon to be able to finish looking for Yoongi if he can't.

Mr.Kim looks up to see Namjoon grabbing his keys and about to head out the door. "Where are you going?" He asks. Namjoon looks surprised from not noticing him. "Oh I was just gonna go to the convenience store. I want gum and snacks." Mr.Kim frowned. "It's pretty late and you know you're in the in danger age group. I'll get it for you."

He grabbed the keys from Namjoon's hand and started walking out the door. "When can I start going out alone again?" He heard Namjoon shout. "When we solve the problem of why everyone's going missing. Now bye love you see you when I get back." Namjoon just groans and waves, then shuts the door.

Mr.Kim hums to a song on the radio,and is tapping his fingers to the beat on the steering wheel. Not many people are driving. Since it was summer it was light out even when it was night. But it was late enough for it to be pretty dark.

He gets there and locks the car, before going inside. He looks at his phone to see what he wanted. There was nobody else at the convenience store except for the person at the counter. Which was some woman in her thirties that looked pretty bored and about to fall asleep.

When he got Namjoon's things, he started to walk to the counter. As he put his things on it, somebody came through the door. He looked at them and they had a mask over their face with a pistol in their hand. Mr.Kims eyes widened and he tried to get away but it was too late. He was too close to them and there was no time. He felt the sharp pain in his chest right at his heart. He stared at the man as he fell to the ground.

The man drove away and Mr.Kim looked up to the ceiling. "Oh my god!" the lady shouted crouching down beside him. She was crying and looked like she was close to having a panic attack. He could faintly hear her calling 911 but everything was starting to sound muffled.

Am I dying? He asked himself.

It was a weird feeling, the feeling of your own blood flowing out of your body. Feeling just a puddle of warmth around you. "Hey stay with me sir please!" She shouted. But it sounded like a whisper to Mr.Kim. He was trying, trying so hard to make it. He had to live for his wife, for Namjoon. But he knows it's pointless. His eyes are so heavy and he's choking on his own blood. He chooses to let his eyes close, and let go.

——————————————————————

   Namjoon was trying to finish a book report that was due the next day. His dad has been gone for almost an hour. Shouldn't it just take 20 minutes at most? Namjoon chose to text him.

Namjoon:
Hey when are you getting home?
dad?
answer
dadddddd
okay whatever see you soon

   Namjoon ended up just giving up. He had work to do so he couldn't just keep texting him. He was getting a little annoyed but just chose to forget about it. A couple more minutes passed by before he heard his mom calling him downstairs in a panicked voice.

   He walked downstairs confused and saw a police man standing at the door. He stood next to his mom and stared at the police officer questioningly. Then he started talking.

   "I have been asked to inform you that Mr.Kim has been reported dead at the convenience store a couple blocks away. He was found shot in the heart and there was one witness. We assume it was a robbery but we will look into it more. On the behalf of the secretary of defense, I extend to you and your family my deepest sympathy in your great loss."

   Namjoon stood there frozen. He couldn't be serious. This was all some sick joke right? Somehow this just wasn't real. He was just alive! His dad was just talking to him, perfectly fine and breathing. And now he's just gone?

   Namjoon looked over to his mom, trying to find a sign that this just wasn't true. But he was proved wrong as he saw the tears rolling down her cheeks. "He's-he's dead?" She asked. "Yes ma'am." The officer replied. The officer said his goodbyes and left. Namjoon released a breath he didn't even know he was holding.

   Namjoon felt frozen and still like he was in a dream of some sort. He just couldn't wrap his head around it.

   My dads dead?

   "M-mom?"  Namjoon stuttered out. Why'd his voice sound so different? It sounded so broken and scared. It's never sounded like that before. His mom turned around and her eyes were red and tears were falling out of them fast. Her lip was trembling and she just pulled him into a hug. Her head was on top of his, and he could hear her sobs.

   "It's gonna be okay Joonie, I promise." She whispered. Namjoon didn't believe her though, how would she know that? Silent tears fell out of his eyes. He was shaking in his mother's hold and she held him tighter. What do they do now?
