Opulent

"why would you possibly think this is a good idea?" Jae is exhilarated and I don't think my excuse is good enough so I won't say it

"I don't know jae, maybe because I like being around him" I retorted

"You can't just get something because "you like it" jae said back.
"But aren't you tired, jae, of pretending that you don't know anything even if you do. How long will you keep hiding-"

"I am not hiding myself, I am hiding him because you know how dangerous it is. Once the truth spills out, you can't go back" jae said in a grave tone

"It's painful, you know to not know enough. It's almost suffocating"

"I know, I think I do."

But do you ever really know, jae? Or do you just feel sorry? Because you know we can't win. The only way to victory is through the risk we're not willing to take. But I want to take that risk now

"Okay, then what about this? How about we leave?

"What? You think they'll let us"

"Yeah, I think it will work just fine. We'll be fine"

"just be careful. Don't get yourself killed, I don't want to lose you. I am gonna go outside to buy some groceries. Don't forget to take your medicine. Okay?

"Okay, okay. I'll be fine"

What am I even convincing anyone of ? I can say that things will be fine with us but they just can't be and it gets harder for me to accept that. Every new day, I look at the sun, the gray sky and I always believe that for so many other people, this sky is blue and the sunlight is showing them the start of a better day and how I am so much different from them.

I can never be fine and if I brought taeil hyung in this mess, he will also see the world from my eyes and he'll despise it, I know. I wish I didn't want this but I can't back up now. And I'll make this work for us, I really want to. I have been like this for too long. And now I will change things no matter what it costs me.

Taeil
I think something is wrong and it's gonna get worse and I won't even be able to stop it. I think doyoung is not okay, he hides too much and it's not just him, everyone is hiding something and I just want to help but I don't know how.

The exam season was here and I was anxious. I just wanted to get better grades than before, I always want to do that, get better. And I also had to go to the party tonight so I wanted to study a lot before. I went to the library, but then I realized I had forgotten my book in the class so I just left my coffee on the table and went back to the class to get my book. I had learned some pages and took only enough sips of the coffee and then I blacked out, I couldn't find the light. I was scared, I couldn't open my eyes

Doyoung
I walked through the fields that day with so much courage that I actually felt stupid. Should I be doing this? People mostly don't just give you things if you ask for them and what if he knows that I was meeting with taeil hyung? The attacks have actually decreased and it all seems suspicious now. I just want a way out of this and me and jae can start a new life.

But honestly I am scared, more scared than I have ever been, of everything he's capable of. What if he does something to taeil hyung? No, no I will save him, I will save everything. And we will be so much happier. But I don't know how to do it? How to end this?

I kept rethinking my choices and I think this was the right option for me. I walked towards the metal door of the old building, I guess this is where people come when they have nowhere else to go, and they would do anything to survive because that's what jae and I did. Not proud of it but who is ever satisfied with the truth anyway, right?

"Dongyoung, I have been expecting you, come." I heard mister Steve chuckle as I walked in the room, he was standing near the window, holding a glass of wine. His chair was turned towards the wall.

"Why, is there something important?" I asked nervously

"Well, depends on your definition of important" he states out, still looking at the scenery outside

"I actually have something to say too, it is important"

"Oh, well then let's start with you"

"Um so I was thinking about leaving, me and jae"

"Hmm, you must have thought about that, right? Discussed everything before making such a big decision" he sounded a little mad

"Yes, I have made this choice after alot of thinking"

"Have you considered the consequences of your actions on your new friend, hmm?"

"What do you mean, sir? Which friend?

"Oh come on now don't act like you don't know what I am talking about"

"I don't, sir" this is just a foolish response.

"Oh, this guy here wouldn't like that, now would he?" He turned the chair around roughly, revealing taeil hyung sitting on the chair, unconscious. His hair were disheveled, his hands were tied by a rope and there was a duct tape on his mouth. He was tied to the chair, all helpless and sad. I wanted to go to him, untie him and take him away with me.

Away from all these bad people, who just won't stop hurting him. But before I could take a step, mister Steve put a gun against his head.

"Now, what do you think?" He smirked, a malicious smile

"You wouldn't kill him, you can't. You need him"

"You're right, I wouldn't but you can't take him from here either. What did you think? You'll betray me and get away with it?"

"Why can't you just leave him alone? He doesn't know where the documents are. In fact he doesn't even know they exist."

"He must know, he is the only way"

"And what do you want from me?"

"Well you are the one connection we have with taeil and you are a useful asset, you can get him to open up, you know spill the secrets"

"Fine, leave him, let him go. I'll stay"

"Oh, no no I can't do that. I don't trust you"

"Yeah well I didn't either"

I knew this was gonna end bad and so a safety gun wouldn't have been a bad thing. I take out my gun and shoot it at mister Steve's arm, enough for him to throw the gun. I take his gun and hit him in the head with it. He falls down. I run towards taeil hyung quickly, untie him quickly and pick him up. It saddens me to see him like this, he must have felt so alone, I want to be there for him in times like this. I will have to tell him the truth now.

*Sherly out*
