Kai's POV

That night I couldn't sleep pondering my options. I had to do what I knew felt right in order to protect Kyung Mi. I didn't want to lose her, but it was the only way to protect her from me. . . from our past. My heart shattered of the idea of hurting her. It was never my intention of doing so, but she couldn't know the real me. The kid who was broken because of her father because of what my mom did to her mother. Kyung Mi would hate me forever for this as I hate myself for causing her so much pain.

I waited at the gate as I told her to meet me here. My heart ached with regret as I seen her figure walk pass me. Confused I grabbed onto her wrist stopping her in her tracks. "Let go of me Kai!" She shouted anger burning in her eyes. I looked at her confused. What had I done? "What, why are you mad at me?" I asked as she pulled me along as we ran behind the school.

Kyung Mi stopped abruptly crossing her arms. "Were you ever going to tell me or were you going to pull me along?" She asked confusing me even more. "What are you talking about?" I asked. "Were you ever going to tell me that your parents were the ones who killed my mother? Or were you going to leave that part out and leave me in the dark?" My heart ached as I seen tears in her eyes.

"How did you find out? And yes I was going to tell you today". I bit back the tears that burned my eyes. She looked down wiping her eyes. "My brother found the papers last night by accident when they fell from my dads office. He knew I was dating someone by the name of Kai and the photo matched yours. I secretly read the information and found out that your mother killed my mother. Do you know how hard it was growing up without a mother? Or that the guy I like is the murder's son. And you just decided to leave out this important information!" Kyung Mi shouted poking my chest with anger. I grabbed onto her hand as I didn't want her to hurt herself.

"Yes, I know what it's like to live without a mom and dad. My parents were murdered too. We were both the same age when we lost our parents. That night in the woods I had to save you from those people. I couldn't lose you like I lost my parents. I sympathize with you over the loss of our parents. I knew who you were from the moment I met you. My feelings for you were real because you're different than everyone else. You see me for me and not for the monster that people see. I was going to tell you everything because I didn't want you to get mixed into my world. I never meant to hurt you. Or for any of this to of happened. I'm so sorry Kyung Mi". I could feel my heart tearing.

Kyung Mi wiped her eyes before looking up at me. "It's a little late for sorries Kai. It can't bring back my mom or the childhood that was taken from me. I trusted you and you threw that trust away. It looks like you just lost me. Goodbye Kim Kai". Kyung Mi shoulder bumped me as I watched her walk away. My heart shattered as I just lost the woman I loved.

I took my phone out dialing Chanyeol's number.

"Hello?" Chanyeol's cheerful voice broke through the speaker. "Hey, Chanyeol can you cover for me the rest of the day? I can't face school right now?" I prayed that he would say yes. "Yes, I'll cover for you. But you need to be back in school on Monday ". "Alright thanks". I hung up sneaking out of the school gates.

. . .

I sat at the Han River watching people come and go. I deserved every word Kyung Mi said to me. I deserved everything she thought of me. All she'll see me as is the murder's son. A traitor. There was no one to blame but myself.  My heart felt like it was into a million pieces as I hurt the girl that I just realized I loved. It felt like someone threw my heart on the floor and stumped on it. Without Kyung Mi I felt incomplete.

I closed my eyes concentrating on trying to find those lost memories. My life depended on those memories. If I couldn't find them then it was game over for me. I lost the girl I liked so what did I have to lose. I ignored my buzzing phone as day turned into night. I wasn't in the mood to interact.

The more I tried concentrating the more severe pain in my head occurred. Every time I would try the pain worsened with every second. I could see the black spots dance in my vision as my vision became darker. Before I know it my world turned black as I could feel the ground rush up to meet me.

Chanyeol's POV

"Are any of you getting anything from Kai?" I asked pacing back and forth. The room was silent as they checked their phones. "No, we haven't heard anything. You don't think they kidnapped him do you?" Sehun asked breaking the silence. "No, they wouldn't kidnap him. We would have heard something besides he isn't going to touch him. I'll go search for him. Who's coming with me and who is staying in case he arrives?" Lay asked as he looked around the room.

"I'll go with you Lay, he's my brother. Suho you come with Lay and I. D.O you're in charge of keeping an eye on Kai in case he comes home. Sehun you stay with D.O. Come on let's go".

It's been an hour into the search and there was no sign of him. In the years I known Kai he wasn't the type to run away unless something serious happened. "Wait, guys I might know where he's at. When we were little Kai would run away to the Han River whenever something bad happened. This morning he made me cover for him in school. Something bad must of happened before school. We need to find him the temperature is dropping".

Once we got to the Han River not many people were there. I remembered a particular place he would go to. "Follow me". I said as we ran faster. "There's a figure up ahead. It looks like our school uniform". Suho said as he ran ahead.

My heart dropped to my stomach as I seen the figure lying against the tree.

"Kai". I whispered running towards him.
