Fated Mistake

I'm by your side

Hi guys, this chapter will be all about Kaisoo. Chanbaek shippers, don't worry. The next chapters will be full of Chanbaek fluffs.

Jongin signaled that the chauffeur could leave. The man got out of the car but Jongin didn't move. His head is about to explode. As if there were a Heavy Metal concert taken place in his head. Perhaps he has drunk more than he assumed, furthermore the lack of sleep was clearly not helpful. After a short time, he went through the garage which led to the living room and found Kyungsoo sleeping on the couch. When was the last time that someone was home when he got back? He couldn't remember.

Kyungsoo must have fallen asleep immediately after Jongin left because the TV was still on. The boy hadn't even changed the channel. Jongin wondered how this tenuous person could bring someone like Mr. Hong to talk. His eyes scanned Kyungsoo from head to toe as if he were discovering something new, something very exciting. Just then, the scene from earlier played again in his memory. He blushed. He blamed the alcohol for the "pretty face". What are the odds that Kyungsoo didn't notice that?

Yet how was he going to explain what he said this morning? At that time, he definitely had no alcohol in his blood.

"If you failed, I can do anything I want to you." Jongin felt a sudden shame. That sounded like a quote from a bad version of Fifty Shades of Grey.

And what would he have done if he won? What the hell did he expect? Jongin told himself he only wanted to play with Kyungsoo. He only wanted to scare his "husband" a bit.

He wanted to bring Kyungsoo to bed, but he feared the thought of having Kyungsoo in his arm. What if he'd like it? Hours earlier, when they stood so close to each other, he did not hate the feeling. In the end, he covered Kyungsoo with a blanket and went to his room.

Kyungsoo knew he was dreaming. That dream again. Despite all the efforts, he couldn't wake up. All he could was watching as if he were caught in a movie. He saw the kidnapper pointed the gun at his face, or rather, at the face of his nine years old version. The small boy shut his eyes, therefore he could still hear the shot and seconds after he heard the voices of several adults. The police stormed the hut, but it was too late. Someone was shot.

Everything Kyungsoo saw was now covered in red as if someone had painted the room. Yet it was the blood that splashed in his eyes. Later, in the hospital, the doctor told him that it wasn't his own blood. It turned out it was the female kidnapper who was shot. He was too young to understand what happened. Many years later, the detective, who was also a friend of his father, told him she had embraced him as her partner had pulled the trigger. Kyungsoo couldn't remember what happened after the first shot, but he was told that the male kidnapper had been shot by the police.

Until now he still wondered why she was willing to die for him. Why would a criminal do such a thing? At some point, his mother told him, it might be the motherly instinct that made her protect a child. The kidnapper was a mother a long time ago. However, she lost the child, even before it was born. She probably did not know that her partner never wanted to release Kyungsoo. Whatever the reason was, Kyungsoo would never know. He'd never have the possibility to ask her or to thank her. The only thing he knew for sure was that he owed his life to her.

Perhaps, she was the reason why he wanted to study psychology. He hoped one day he'd understand why people did what they did; why a woman was willing to die for someone else's child.

Kyungsoo opened his eyes as a voice in his head woke him up. A voice which was clearly to hear as if someone was whispering into his ear.

"He was willing to die for her."
