Chapter 3

Kun had taken Doyoung home, using the excuse that Doyoung didn't feel well

When Kun and Doyoung had arrived at Doyoung's apartment he tried to talk to Doyoung

But Doyoung said he didn't want to talk about it

After Kun left Doyoung at his house, still not feeling totally comfortable leaving the boy alone, Doyoung sat down on the floor and tried to decide what he was gonna do next

He knew good and well that he should get a job, probably move into a smaller place, because without his parents he would now have to support himself

Doyoung stood up and walked over to his father's laptop, opening it up, it didn't have a password so there was no difficulty getting in

He started surfing the internet, looking for a job, any job

He had been searching for a good while, before remembering the shooting

He paused.... Something seemed off about it

When he talked to the police they brushed it off as just a shooting, Doyoung didn't believe that

Everything was to suspicious

Why would they just shoot his parents, there were literally thousands of people there, why wouldn't you shoot more

Doyoung than decided that since the police wouldn't do anything, he would do it himself

Doyoung grabbed his school backpack, dumped out everything inside, stuffed in a few materials he figured he might need, and walked out the door

•

Doyoung stepped onto the roof of the apartment building, approaching the side rails, looking down onto the area where he had been standing, just 4 days ago

Doyoung was on this roof because he remembered seeing the flash of a gun coming from up here

(A/N this is not the same apartment building that he lives in btw)

As Doyoung looked down towards the ground he started to sweat a little

The wind whipping all around him, making him sway, if he just.... Took a few steps, his pain would end

His pain could end and he could see his family again

But alas

Doyoung remembered that at school, if you die by suicide, they call it the cowards way out

He didn't want to die and be labeled as a coward

No, he would much rather die taking down his parents murderer

Than he saw something, in the corner on the floor, beside the wall, it was a bullet shell

Doyoung bent down and picked it up, sliding it into his pocket

He was gonna find his parents murderer, if it was the last thing he did

He was gonna find them, than he was gonna kill them
