Doyoung was scared.

No, he was terrified.

He was terrified of the man living with him, walking around downstairs.

Any moment, he could stomp upstairs, disregard the corpse laying in the middle of the hallway, burst open the door, and take Doyoung out within seconds.

He wanted to die, though. He'd rather die than live with the constant anxiety caused by his father or live with the guilt of not being able to save his mother.

He wanted to live anywhere but here.

He was curled up against the wall under his blankets, shivering, listening to various sounds and trying to calm himself down, but his plan backfired.

He could hear Mr. Kim shouting, and it just scared him more. Why was he shouting?? Did Doyoung do something to anger him? If he really did, he was sure he's not going to live by tomorrow.

A loud crash.

Footsteps were coming from right outside his door.

Oh god.

This is it.

He gripped the sheet over his head with all his might as the door opened.

"Doyoung?"

Thank god.

Doyoung cautiously lowered the warm blanket and cane face to face with Johnny.

That cheater.

But he'd take a cheater over a murderer any day.

"How have you been?" Johnny said with his familiar sickening smile.

He had a few fresh bruises on his face, but acted like they weren't ever there.

How has he been?

Didn't Johnny see all that blood when he came in? The corpse outside? The corpse of Doyoung's dead mother? How has he been??

Doyoung was baffled. How can someone just disregard something like that?

Johnny was just trying to help, right?

He just wanted to help Doyoung get his mind off of it, right?

Of course, that must be it.

"Alright, I g-guess."

Johnny let out a soft chuckle "Lying now, are we? That's not good."

Doyoung shrunk into himself "I'm so-sorry."

The taller shook his head with a smile before walking over to the bunny's desk.

"You know why I'm here, right?" he asked as he looked around for something.

Doyoung nodded although he doubted his boyfriend saw it. At that moment, the latter found what he was looking for, as he whispered a silent "Got it." and lifted his hand with something shiny in between his long fingers.

Doyoung immediately recognized it.

Johnny walked back towards him, making Doyoung press himself up against the wall.

"Let's get straight to it. First one, let's go."

Not again.

"Johnny will always be my first choice."

"Wow, good job! You remembered it, even without stuttering. I'm proud." Johnny grinned "Alright, next."

"Jaehyun is dangerous."
