''Hey, I'll meet you at your place, okay?'' said Minhyuk and put his arm around his girlfriend's waist. She let out a giggle and I had to try hard not to roll my eyes. "Sure, hurry up, though, okay?", I looked at his girlfriend and then at him. He was smirking. Ever since he found that girl, he's been acting like he's the best. I can't blame him. While I was walking to my car and looking around, my phone rang and I saw that my mother was calling me. Why is she calling me now? I'm coming home soon. I put my phone away and got into my Mercedes. My baby. The seats were from black leather and it had 476 Ps. I proudly called it my baby. 

I looked in the rear-view mirror and recognized Shownu in the middle of a swarm of girls. I couldn't help laughing at the sight. Yes we are the most popular in our school, but among the three of us, Shownu was the one who got the most attention from girls. Not that I'm complaining, because it makes some things easier for me. While I kept thinking about stuff, I drove off and yawned. It's hard to be the son of a mafia boss because I know I'll have to take over the mafia one day. Hopefully this won't be in the near future as I honestly have no interest in it. Being feared by everyone? It doesn't sound bad but it's not something that is my dream.I would rather become a professional driver. Yeah, it might sound far-fetched at first, but when I had my first race I loved the adrenaline pumping through my veins. Sadly I lost.

My mother called me again. I sighed and put her on loudspeaker, "Yes mother?". She was sobbing and I raised an eyebrow, ''What's going on? What happened? Did something happened to Ha Rin?''. She said nothing at first and kept crying, then she started talking, "Your ... your father ... he ...", she sobbed again. ''What about him? Mother tell me! '', I was impatient, I therefore pressed on the gas pedal and my car accelerated, '' What happened? ''. I heard Ha Rin say that she should calm down and she started talking again, ''Your father ... he was attacked during a mission ... '', she sighed, '' He was shot ... . ''.  My father was shot? He will survive. It's not the first time. That's normal if you are a mafia boss and you have lots of enemies, '' He's fine, isn't he? You are worrying unnecessarily! He's going to survive that. '', I hardly believed my words myself, but I tried to be confident. Nothing happened to him.

She started to cry again, ''No...he...he...was seriously injured. He was taken to the hospital ...but it was too late...he...he died...''. I almost rammed a car when I heard this news. He is dead? Impossible. He is a man who is always fighting for his life and he has always made it so far. Something is wrong, my mother is wrong.''Mother don't lie to me! He certainly didn't die!'', The street in front of me became unrecognizable because tears came to my eyes. I quickly wiped them away. No, that is not correct. I hung up because I would be right home anyway. When I enter our house, Father is alive and well in front of me. My mother is only joking with me. I saw the house I know, can you call it a house? It was more of a villa. I drove into the garage and there was my crying sister Ha Rin. Oh no...she is never crying...

I got out of my car and immediately my sister came to me and hugged me. She was a lot smaller than me. She sobbed and said, ''Wonho-Oppa! Dad is dead! Tell me that's not true, please! '', She looked up at me, her eyes very red because of all the crying. I bit my lower lip and held back my tears. I can't cry in front of her, '' Let's go in first...''. We entered the house and went into the living room, where my father's men were fully dressed in black suits. My mother was sitting on the sofa with my aunt Hye Rin next to her. When I entered the living room, the men looked at me and bowed. Their facial expressions were sad, but nothing exceeded my mother's face. Her make-up was completely smeared and she was crying while my aunt tried to calm her down, she was crying too.

I looked away and swallowed. It can't be that he died. I cleared my throat and my mother looked up. The sight was unbearable but I showed no emotion. She got up and went to me, she was very weak. When she stood in front of me, she burst into tears and hugged me, ''Hoseok-ah...''.She rarely called me by my real name unless I did something wrong. '' Mother ... how did it happen? '', I bit my lip and hopes she is going to say nothing happened. '' I can't tell the story ... it should do Min Joon ... '', she released herself from the hug and went back to my aunt, who looked at me with an unreadable look. 

Min Joon was the underboss for my dad and as well his best friend. They knew each other since they went to school together and my father trusted him. I looked at him and put my head to one side, "Let's go to another room", I looked at my mother and she nodded. I automatically went to my father's office and I closed my eyes. Damn it hurts. Min Joon followed me and sighed, ''Mr. Lee ... I've tried everything ... '' I interrupted him, "You never formally addressed my father, so don't do it to me either." He nodded and sat down on the chair in front of me. 

He put his face in his hands and swallowed. I am sorry for him, because after all he knew my father longer than I did. I gave him time until he started speaking, ''We were on a mission ... it was not actually planned that we would use weapons, but unfortunately it has escalated. Your father wanted to come because he wanted to talk to the underboss from the mafia "Godspeed". I wanted to talk him out of it ... but he insisted. I wish I would have succeeded ... Anyway, we drove to the meeting point and everything was fine until 10 men from Godspeed came and surrounded us. There were only three of us since we thought there was nothing important going on... such a mistake. I tried to get your father in the car as soon as possible, but they started shooting. I was hit in the back and Chul Moo on the arm twice. But your father ... was ... hit in the chest ... '', he stopped with the story and quickly wiped a tear from his face. I tried not to visualize it, but it was impossible, which is why I started to cry a little bit.

'' We got him in the car. He still spoke to us and said that he would take revenge on Godspeed and destroy the mafia ... We came to the hospital and brought him in immediately. At first he was fine and he was still talking to us, but suddenly he couldn't breathe and ... '', Min Joon bit his lip, '' He said ... that he is sorry that he has to leave the mafia to you so early ... he also said that you should take care of your mother and sister and never make the mistakes he made ... then he ... died ''. I closed my eyes. Even in his last few minutes he thought about fighting against them ... I'm proud to call him father. I looked at Min Joon and sighed, ''How should I lead the Mafia? I'm too unexperienced! My father did it a lot better! ''. I shook my head. Why did it have to happen?

He looked at me and in his eyes reflected empathy, ''Hoseok-ah... I am going to help you through this hard time... just like I helped you father. Believe me I know how to do this''. I looked at him, ''Why don't you do it then? Why do I have to do it? I don't even want to be a Mafia Boss. I'll always have to live in fear, don't I?'', I looked at the picture of our family on my fathers desk. This is the worst day in my life...

He stood up and went to the window and looked outside, ''That's not how it works Hoseok... you are his only son and you are the heir to the Black Bullets''. It was the first time, since we started to speak, that the name of the Mafia was mentioned. Since I was a little child, I heard that Name and never knew the meaning to it. And now I am going to lead this Mafia. ''But can't you lead it for some time until I finish school and stuff?'', I saw the back of Min Joon tensed. ''Until you finish school I am going to take care of the mafia, but the moment you turn 18 and finish you education, you are going to be a fulltime leader. I know it sounds scary but I believe in you and you are going to do a great job''.

My phone started to vibrate and I looked at it. Minhyuk called me. I completely forgot about him. I looked at Min Joon and he nodded, that's why I answered the call, ''Yes?''. ''Wonho-hyung? Why are there so many cars in front of your house?'', Minhyuk sounded worried and I shook my head. ''Minhyuk-ah... I don't think it is a good idea that you come to me right now... my family is mourning...you know... my father he... died''. Minhyuk breathed in the air loudly, ''Ey...man if you need someone to talk to, me and Shownu are always there for you. My Condolences...'' Even though I wasn't in the mood to smile, these words made me smile, ''Thank you''. I ended the call and looked at Min Joon, ''People need such friends in their lives''. I nodded. That's true.

Godspeed. What an ugly name for a Mafia. I began to squeeze my phone until my knuckles were seen. I am going to destroy that Mafia. For my father. And whoever is going to stop me from doing this, is going to get killed.

I guess this Prologue is a little short but I think it gave you enough information for now.  This is my second story and I hope you like this small chapter already. I'm going to try to write longer ones in the future and if there are some grammatical errors then I am really sorry but English isn't my first language. However, I hope you have a nice day in these hard times! Stay healthy!
