Shattered ||Huang Renjun

Suyeon

"Ren- wow shit gotta bleach my eyes"

The voice of Haechan startled me, my senses were so engrossed in Renjun and the soulmate bond that i failed to hear the approaching footsteps.

"suyeon what are you doing here?"

Hearing Jeno's voice cursing under my breath i pushed renjun away standing up. The feeling of being seen with the same person who hated me to his core and that too while hugging him was suffocating. I wanted to hide myself away.

"let's go first"

As my words were still stuck in my throat Renjun spoke up not wanting to draw more attention than they already had with this soulmate thing going on.
Jeno was a man of few words especially with me. The uneasiness between us seemed to be growing as time passed. Making me believe that one day eventually this will lead us apart.

"where are we going"

Sitting in the mini van which was parked just at the entrance. Jaemin who was sitting next me gave a soft smile. After dad passed away Jaemin gave me the comfort which jeno was supposed to give me, the care my brother should've given.
 
"Our base"

Fist bumping the older male a smile curved up my lips. It was small yet a warmth spread across my chest. His sunshine aura  in contrast to the fading colors of the world seemed like hope. The suffocation i felt around my own brother disappeared when jaemin patted my back lightly.

"Damn... cool base"

Getting of the van i stared at the grey building which stood tall. It seemed like a house which would envelope you as a whole if somebody wrongly tried to enter. The black gate was antique and almost felt like an entrance to a mansion. The gardens around the main building were lush green making me wonder how beautiful they would seem in the spring sunlight.
Only if i lived to see next spring, how mesmerizing the flowers would bloom for the autumn had made them wither into lifeless petals leaving harsh winter.

The barb wires all over along with cctv cameras. The security was tol notch which gave off it was more than just a rich Mansion.
Passing the surveillance the group entered inside. The long dimly lit hallways incontrast to the room they walked into made me shiver.
It all felt like deja vu walking in this warm golden hued living room.

"stay behind me for a bit"

Renjun whispered pushing me behind him so i was hidden. Peaking over his shoulder i caught the sight of a pair of angry eyes boring into the men standing before him. The dominance he radiated showed he was the boss.
Sharp eyes, slick black hair. Rings decorating his veiny hands. He was handsome to the point one could proudly say he was a greed god.

"2 times..... two fucking times you guys failed! if you all continue this we are gonna stop all of this"

His deep growls resonated the hall and suddenly i was thankful Renjun was guarding me. Mark stepped forward wanting to explain.

"it was my fault-"

mark's words were cut off by renjun who cleared his throat

"It was me, it won't happen again"

Suddenly conscious of Renjun's feeling the odd warmth, a sense of responsibility bloomed. He couldn't stand their leader taking the blame for his mistakes.

"I trust you all, you are well aware of the reasons. I don't want to see anyone of you get hurt"

Heaeing him made me realize how jeno was in safe hands. His aura seemed to be scary but it felt more as a comfort of mother, when fatherly figures scold you for your mistakes.

"Rest for now. You guys tried it's fine, Renjun follow me"

Gulping harshly my hands instinctively gripped onto his black leather jacket. Nails scrapping against the fine surface creating a screeching noise. Turning his head towards mine he looked down.

"Go with your brother"

His voice audible to us two only yet the idea of him not being near me made me feel bare, exposed to world for he had been covering me all along. Eyes filled with worry and desperation i wanted him to stay. Even if it was or a little while.

"oh and why-"

Their leader caught a glance towards me raising his brows questionably wanting answers as my presence was something he wasn't aware of too occupied. His were cut off jeno who hurridly replied

"she is my sister"

With his strong gaze he took a few towards us making me hide behind Renjun even more. His jaw flexed as he examined me with the stern look. Until he hummed.

"Lee Taeyong, nice to meet you"

His deep voice in contrast to the smile he gave me. Something about the way his lips curved up felt like home, a place she hadn't been in years. The dark aura he had disappeared with his now toothy smile extending his hand out he waited.

"suyeon"

My voice barely came out as I nervously shook his hand. This all felt so like deja vu. It almost felt i am reliving this yet this was the first time i was meeting him— right?.

"i assume you all will explain everything later"

He patted Renjun's back pulling him along towards the dimly lit hallway across the couch. Jaemin held my hand making me look up at him. He signalled me to follow him. Without questioning further i decided to wait for Renjun to explain everything since my brother was incapable of even looking at me more than 10 minutes.

"this is renjun's room feel free to use anything he is your soulmate after all"

The room was oddly chilly a wave of goosebumps over me made me uncomfortable standing at the door. The walls were painted light grey, the area itself wasn't much decorated and kept simple. The room screamed Renjun.
The black and grey curtains covering the huge window seemed so familiar.
Even though there was not a speck of color it didn't look bland, it felt like a hug after a bad day, autumn when it ends.

Renjun

"I don't want to involve my father into this"

Standing infront of the leader anyone would be intimidated his existence itself was enough to make sure you don't go astray but asking my dad wo clear our mistakes was something i wasn't willing to do.

"you need to have zero records under our name so it is either him or we are gonna have to steal the file it's up to you"

Taeyong leaned against the table sitting slightly. Arms crossed as he sighed knowing the two extreme options. He was right— he always is. We didn't have much of a choice it was either my ego or police hunting after us.

"i'll think about it"

With a defeated sigh i took a step back wanting to end the conversation as soon as i could. This office suffocated me.

"and the girl"

My steps halted upon hearing about suyeon. I thought jeno would explain everything but he is least interested in well being of her sister even though he risked his own life to take care of her. Their twisted relation was something i wouldn't pry into.

"what is she to you?"

His question made my body go numb, what is she to me? It has been few days since I've known her yet she angers to my core. There was something about her presence that was so sad and agonizing that i can't even think— where she stands in my life.

"my soulmate"

Taeyong nodded with a small smile he always found it cute when anyone of us found their soulmate. With a hand on my shoulder he gave a supportive look which he ensured to make sure we all knew that at the end of the day He was going to be there for us— that as a leader, as a friend he would guide us.

"I'm glad, take good care of her. You deserve this happiness Renjun"

Oddly enough his words made my stomach drop. Did I? Like what he said did i actually deserve this kind of life? This bond to become one with a person for the rest of my life.
Did i deserve her?
