Chapter Text

I slowly raise my dagger from where I am hiding against the bricked wall, I swing lifting my hand and let go 

The knife hits right on target, on the back off that bastards neck, he almost instantly falls to the ground like a puppet getting its strings cut, I slowly stock over to him ripping the dagger out of his neck hearing him gruggle on the blood leaking into his neck 

The guy scrambles away from me, moving around so he can see me, his eyes widening 

"No no no, J.one, i-i I didn't do anything" 

I scoff, "Seriously you think I believe you, I know everything you have done!!" 

The man scrambles further away, he bangs into the brick wall, his panic is setting in, now that he realises he has no where to go 

"Well looks like you have no where to go" "don't worry I'll be fast" I pout sinking into a mocking tone, I kneel down in front off him, taking his cheeks between my fingers, stretching his lips to make it look like he's smiling ," you'll be a good boy for me and be quiet won't you" I smile widely 

"J,one please have mercy I'm sorry!!" He begs 

I tap my finger against my chin, pretending to think, "umm let me think... no I don't think I will have mercy, just like you didn't give mercy to them poor girls" 

The man quickly starts praying to God for mercy and forgiveness 

I laugh manically, gripping on to my chest 

"You seriously think God is going to save your soul!!?" "He won't even look at it" "let alone bring you to heaven!!"

The man starts crying now

Ugh how pathetic, I quickly slice his throat, 

The man gasps, spluttering on his own blood, grasping onto his neck, he lays there twitching, bleeding out on the cobblestone alley

After he stops trembling I open his mouth and cuts off his tongue, 

I slowly open his hand and lay his tongue on it 

I stand up cleaning my bloody knife on his clothes

I quickly put the hood up off my brown cloak, keeping my head down as I walk down the street, I need to move quickly, master JYP said he has a new mission for me, hopefully it's not as boring as the other ones 

I quickly turn through one of the corner alleys, I colide with something solid, nearly tripping but a hand reaches out and catches me, I look up meeting dark brown eyes, the man smiles at me showing his dimples, his curly hair sticking out from under his deep blue ropes 

I smiles back at him, "thank you, sorry I wasn't looking were I was going" 

The man replies, "no no its fine" "I hope you have a good night" 

I smile back," you too, have a good night" 

We both quickly start walking again 

When han gets to jyps mansion 

I stand waiting outside jyp's office/lounge for one of his private soldiers to let me in 

As soon as I enter I get hit with the smell of wine and strong cologne 

I groan, covering my nose 

Jyp waves me over, "ohh my boy han!! Come over here!!"  He slurs his words, holding his hand out for me to take 

I slowly walk over to him taking his hand, sitting down beside him 

Jyp takes my cloak of leaving me just in a shorter white robe 

I cross my legs, while jyp rests his hands on one of my thighs 

I see one off the soldiers staring at me lustfully, I sink more into the seat, feeling sweat drip down the back of neck in nervousness. I turn my attention back to Jyp as he starts to speak

"Darling, you have been doing so well in all your missions, I'm so proud off you" 

"Thank you so much master jyp" I feel angry as I speak, this guy is a fucking creep just get to the point, I really can't deal with the pretty, wrapped up words today anymore 

"And sweetie I trust you that you know what your doing, so my new mission for you is I want you to get into the inner circle of the roman emperor, make friends with are ruthless, bastard of the emperor lee Minho and kill him" 

Jyp slowly strokes my cheek as he speaks, 

Wait what, he wants me to kill our emperor!!?

I look at him with wide eyes, I close and open my mouth trying think off what to say 

"Darling are you ok?" "Dont worry take all the time you need to speak" 

I look over at the soldiers who are smirking at me and jyp, there eyes feel like sharp pin pricks looking all over my body, I wrap my arms around my body, sinking more into jyps side, at least when I'm around him They can't hurt me 

Jyp scowls at the soldiers and they turn there backs and go back to guarding the area, he wraps his arm around my shoulder 

"What do you say darling?, will you do it for me?" 

I scoff internally, as if he's giving me I choice 

I put on my sweetest smile, 

I nod, "mhmm yeah of course master jyp" "I'll just need a little help getting contacts, like trying to be friends of friends of one of the members" 

Jyp smiles, stroking his hands up and down my thigh, "of course I already have a contact, she's a master of roman weaponry, she works for me, she's called Jeongyeon, she has infiltrated the roman inner core for 8 years and she's your senior by 7 years" 

I smile, "ok!!" "Thank you so much master"

Jyp replies with a creepy smile, "of course Darling, I just want to make thing easy for you" 

"Now! Go on! you can pack some clothes, say goodbye to some friends and then go and meet jeongyeon in the Square" he slaps my thigh and removes his arm from around my shoulders, pushing me up off the seat 

I stand up, hurriedly picking up my cloak, bowing to jyp, I quickly leave the mansion, trying to ignore the guards eyes on me 

I pull the robe down to try and cover more of my body as I walk along the street to me and Yongboks shared room.

I quickly walk to my side of the room lifting up a small, light, wooden chest. Bring all my clothes over to it and dumping them in. 

Yongbok looks at me in curiosity, raising his eyebrow, "where have the boss sent you??" 

I roll my eyes, to hide my inner dilemma, fuck I can't tell Yongbok about what I'm doing if this goes wrong he will be in danger if I tell him..

"I just have to go to some posh families country home to fit in with them for a while and then kill them all, I have no idea how long I will be gone" 

Yongbok looks at me sadly, "I'll miss you Hannie" he runs over and hugs me (not like he needed to run for long this room can just about fit us in it there is no room for running and it always smells like burning fire wood even though the owner doesn't let us burn anything to keep us warm) 

I hug him back, "I'll miss you too Bokkie"

"Be safe" he wraps his arms tighter around my waist, squeezing me 

I hug him back tighter, I kiss his cheek, as he drops his face onto my bare collar bone kissing the sharp edges of my bone, sucking onto my skin. 

"Hannie you should be careful, why aren't you wearing your cloak?" 

"Master Jyp took it off me when I gone to see him" we stand there hugging each other 

"Well make sure to put it back on" 

I nod, "I need to go Yongbok" 

"Ok I love you, bye hannie" Yongbok looks close to tears, but it's better if I leave now, while I won't chicken out off it, I try not to think about how, I'm going to be trying to kill Lee Minho the ruthless Emperor known to kill and torture people who even look at him "the wrong way" 

I pick up my chest, putting my cloak around my body, I walk out of our room, hearing Yongbok, lay back into bed, I can't focus on him, as much as I worry for him, I need to focus on my mission, I can't protect him from jyp as I'm away but as soon as I complete my mission, I can focus on helping Bokkie, maybe jyp will give us more money after the mission 

I put the hood over my head, walking through the dimly lit streets, waving in through the people walking around the the cold, damp cobblestone alleys 

I have been walking for around 27 minutes, when I see the fountain coming into view, then I see her, jeongyeon, she is wearing a black robe and she has short black hair 

Her eyes latch onto me and I feel I chill going through my body 

I have heard off her, all the rumours, she's brutal they say, if she looks at you and just thinks you don't have what it takes to be a master of weaponry or even just know how to fight, she sends you right back were you came from 

She tought nearly all the inner circles members how to fight and she even tought the emperor, but I remind myself, she's not judging or teaching me, she's doing jyp a favour, I don't know if she knows what it's about, but I'll find out soon 

I stop in front of her, watching as she looks me up and down 

She raises an eyebrow, "soo jyp wants me to train you??" 

Oh looks like she just thinks she's teaching me 

I bitterly think, of course no one thinks I can fight, because of how I look, big, bright, innocent eyes, with chubby cheeks and a small waist, thin hairless thighs and legs 

"Dont you think you shouldn't judge people by appearances??" I say venomously 

She laughs, "of course not, I think you misunderstand, I was just trying to see what weapon would fit your physique" 

I laugh nervously, "oh yeah of course, sorry" 

"No no its fine I understand", she smiles at me 

Oh maybe she's nice, maybe the rumours were wrong 

We talk and walk together, all the way to the Palace, were I'm going to be doing my training, and hopefully "accidentally" dumping into the members of the inner core 

Jeongyeon leaves me off in my room, it is made of stone, and the bed has bear fur for its blanket and the pillow is stuffed with feathers, I groan, I'm so tired and it looks so comfortable, but I need to unpack or ill never do it, there is no windows but that's good, the room will hopefully stay warm then, but luckily there is a fire, and Jeongyeon said I can use it I just need to ask for a servant for help

I quickly unpack my clothes into the chest of drawers in the corner of the room, I better not get to comfortable, for this life style will not last for long and when I have to go back I don't know how smooth the transition will be 

I light a candle beside my bed hoping that it will stay burning the whole night 

I lay down on the bed, atleast I can indulge my self for tonight, if only 

I sigh, my muscles are aching, as I move around the bed, gripping onto the bear fur blanket, I slowly fall asleep, falling into a restless dream, 

I gasp awake, trying desperately to remember my dream, but it is as useless as trying to pick up sand in my hands, I watch as my memories fade away like sand dripping through the spaces in between my fingers 

One grain staying perfectly on my hand, a man, not much older than me maybe 23, 4 years older, he has sharp piercing cat eyes, with red, bitten, lips, he has a scary aura but somehow, he feels safe, like home 

Chapter Text

I slowly chew on the bread in my mouth, picking at the red things on my plate, 

I am sitting across from jeongyeon, she is looking curiously at me, "are you going to eat Jisung?" 

I look back up at Jeongyeon, "mhmm yeah, the breads nice", she smiles at me

She picks up the red fruit from her plate and takes the green bit off, eating the red part of it 

I slowly lift up my own fruit, eating a part of the red bit, 

Wow, it's delicious, it tastes fresh, juicy, bursting with flavour in my mouth, my eyes widen and Jeongyeon smile widens

"Have you ever had these?" 

I shake my head no 

"There called strawberry", "did jyp never give you any??" 

I shake my head again, "I didn't live with him" 

She hums, smiling, "ok, your Training will start today, I'll start with teaching you basic self defence and then move onto weapons" 

I groan, I'm going to have to pretend I can't fight, jyp couldn't have made it easier for me 

She smiles, "don't worry I'll go easy on you for the first day" 

I smile back at her, eating more of the bread, we go back to eating in silence 

A woman comes into the room, and walks over to Jeongyeon, quietly talking with her 

I pick up on some off there conversations 

Jeongyeon says, quietly, "mhm yes, yes, I can come to the meeting, .... the woman says, "I'll talk to Mina..... mhm, yes she can teach him, what does he need taught?" Jeongyeon says something but I don't catch it, but what this woman says Answers the question for me, "oh!! Poor thing, he can't read or write!!" 

The woman smiles at me, I smile back at her, looking her up and down, she has bunny teeth and big cute eyes

Jeongyeon starts talking now, and me and the woman both look over at her 

"Jisung, this is Nayeon, she's in the outer core" 

What? There's an outer core, I thought there was only an inner one??

I must look confused because, this new woman, Nayeon starts to speak up, "the outer core is known as "twice" it has me, Jeongyeon, Jihyo, Sana, Mina, Chaeyoung, Momo, Tzuyu and Dahuyn, me and Jihyo are the leaders" 

I nod hesitantly at her

Nayeon speaks again, "me and Jeongyeon, were talking about one of the girls teaching you how to read and write, as jyp seems to have told Jeongyeon, that you can't?" 

I silently curse Jyp, its his fault I can't! He never taught me and now on top of my mission I have to learn reading and writing 

I nod, "yeah I can't, but do I really need to learn?" 

Nayeon looks at me shocked, "why wouldn't you want to learn!??" 

Jeongyeon rolls her eyes at Nayeon dramatics, but then looks at me seriously, "jisung you do have to learn because if your going to be training with me you will need to know how to do them things" 

I nod again, the woman Nayeon smiling brightly at me, "Yes!!" She cheers, hugging Jeongyeon around her shoulders, I raise my eyebrows at that but I don't say anything 

Nayeon kisses Jeongyeon on the cheeks, Jeongyeon blushes, oh they're in a relationship!?? Aww that's kinda cute, 

Jeongyeon smiles at Nayeon and stands up, waving her hand at me, to single that I should stand up to, I quickly stand up, walking over to Jeongyeon, 

Jeongyeon smiles at Nayeon, "I'll bring Jisung to the meeting, but in the meantime, me and him needs to stand Training" she kisses Nayeon on the lips and Nayeon smiles kissing her back 

I smile, were I live, in the outer district of Rome, you don't see alot of lasting relationships and the only relationships you do see is one's between a young girl and a older man 

Nayeon pinches my checks, making me blush and hide my face underneath my hands 

Nayeon starts giggling, "of course you can bring him darling, he's just so cute!!" 

Jeongyeon smiles, "Nabong you need to go and help Seungmin do some work" Nayeon smiles, "bye J" she walks away, leaving the room 

Jeongyeon turns around to look over at me, "come ill show you the training room, but there might be some people there to" 

I nod, following after her 

When we get into the training room, I see a couple off people at the back off the room, two woman and two men, Jeongyeon shouts over too them, "RYUJIN, YEJI, HYUNJIN, CHANGBIN!!!" I flinch at the loud voices

I see the 4 people all look over at Jeongyeon, and then they slowly move there stares to me, I blush at all the eyes at me, turning around to face Jeongyeon 

"Come over here meet my new trainee!!" 

They all walk over to me and Jeongyeon, the taller man stares at me, flipping his long black hair, the shorter off the two, that even through his robes you can see the bulging muscles asks Jeongyeon, "what's his name?" Jeongyeon replies smiling, "he's called Han Jisung" 

The tall one narrows his eyes at me, one of the girls speak up, Wow she is beautiful, she has stunning cat eyes, "Hyunjinnie you're scaring him!!" She whines

Oh so he's Hyunjin, Hyunjin smiles to the girl and says, "I just thought he reminded me of someone" 

Jeongyeon laughs, "you wouldn't know him, he lived in the outer district" 

Hyunjin looks at me disgusted, "I hope he washed himself before coming here, poor people are so uncivilised" 

Ugh I roll my eyes, of course, he's a brat 

He raises his eyebrows, "oh so the little poor rat has an attitude!??" 

I scoff at him 

The buff guy, looks over at Hyunjin sighing, "Jinnie stop, you're being insufferable" 

Hyunjin rolls his eyes, "shut up Changbin" 

Jeongyeon rolls her eyes, "Yeji get your brother under control" 

Yeji answers and sighs making a play of sounding over dramatic, "I know are family have tried everything we just can't stop Jinnie from acting like the little princess he is" the other girl which I'm amusing is ryujin? Leans onto Yeji, laughing at what she said 

Jeongyeon sighs, acting like a distressed mum,"children go on, now you two," she points at the boys, "need to get ready for the meeting, and I booked the training room just for me and Jisung so go on leave" 

The girls groan, and the boys start leaving saying bye to Jeongyeon and the girls quickly follow 

Jeongyeon then turns back around to me, "sorry for Hyunjin he's really bitchy at first but once he gets to know you he's really nice" 

I nod, saying bitterly "yeah, I can tell" she laughs sarcastically , "come on let's start" 

I quickly get into a defensive stand, she hits me with a punch to the stomach, and I have to force my relaxes to slow down, so she just hits me in the side, ah! fuck! She's a good puncher, I cough as the air is forced out off my lungs 

I see her going to swipe at my legs, I internally groan, I'm starting to think jyp just sent me here because he wanted me to get beat up 

I grip onto my side, trying to make her think she hurt me more than she actually did, one second I'm standing up, then the next I'm on the floor 

Jeongyeon stays standing with her hands on her hips waiting for me to Stand up 

I stand up and sheepishly smile at Jeongyeon, she pats my head, "its ok Jisung ill help you get better" 

I smile at her, "thanks Jeongyeon, can we try again?" 

"Yes, of course Jisungie" she smiles 

I kind of feel bad for lying to her, she's so nice, but I can't think like this my mission is the only important thing 

I get back into a fighting position and I kick at her stomach, focusing on lowering the power off my kick, Jeongyeon catches my leg, grabbing onto the back off my thighs and flips me over her shoulders, I tense, but then wrap my legs around her legs, twisting and kicking at her legs, she falls backwards but quickly changes are positions so she's on top off me, pinning me against the floor. 

I gasp in a breath, and Jeongyeon smiles at me, saying, "you did good Jisungie" "I want to bring you too the meeting, is that ok?" "To meet the rest off the girls and maybe some of the inner circle might be there" 

I nod, "yeah, will I meet Mina? Isn't she the person going to be teaching me writing and reading?" 

She nods, "Yes, come on let's go" she quickly stands up, pulling me up with her, I follow behind her, wiping the sweat off my brow, what why am I feeling nervous, I feel cold nervous sweat dripping down my back as my hands start to tremble, i grasp my hands into fists, trying to hide my trembling 

Jeongyeon opens the door to the meeting room, i see 8 people sitting down around a marble table, with 6 empty chairs 

Jeongyeon grabs hold of my hand, dragging me over to a chair beside her, I look down at my feet, feeling embarrassed with the attention on me, Jeongyeon taps my shoulder, "Jisung are you ok?" She whispers 

There she goes, caring about me, being to kind, I wince feeling guilty, "I'm fine" 

"Ok! I'll introduce you to the girls while we wait for Seungmin, I.n, Hyunjin and changbin to come" 

I nod, "ok, great" she points to the head of the table, "that is Jihyo, you already know who Nayeon is" she points to the members as she talks, "Sana, Momo, Mina she's the one going to teach you, Dahuyn, Chaeyoung and Tzuyu" 

I smile at them, saying hi to them, they all smile at me saying there own greetings 

The room all quiets down as the boys enter

Changbin and Hyunjin walk in first, hyunjin sits beside Chaeyoung and changbin sits beside Hyunjin, two boys that I don't recognise comes in one off them looks like a puppy and isn't smiling, looking very serious, he sits beside me, which I gulp at trying to hide how nervous I am, the other boy sits beside the puppy boy, he looks like a fox and looks nearly the opposite of what puppy boy looks like, smiling sweetly, showing of his dimples 

I feel sweat dripping down my back, 

Jihyo speaks up, "where's Chan,  Minho and felix?

Puppy boy speaks up, "Minho and Chan are working and Felix couldnt find time to get away from his work on his undercover mission" 

Changbin whines, acting over dramatic, "I miss Lixie so much!!!" He flops dramatically onto Hyunjin shoulder 

Nayeon smiles, "aww changbin don't worry your love will live on!!!" 

But I'm still stuck on the mention of Minho, the emperor, who I'm suppose to kill, these boys are part of the inner core...

And who is Felix??? I thought the inner core only had 6 members, I nervously gulp 

Wiping my sweatly hands on the ropes, crossing my legs 

I try too concentrate on what they are saying but it's hard when as the second I feel like death is approaching, like the grim reaper is lurking around every corner ready to strike me down as soon as I turn my back 

The anxiety blocking my throat, making me choke up 

I catch Hyunjin eyes seeing him staring at him, the anxiety, drops down to my stomach, as I try to ignore it, I wink at Hyunjin, smirking, pretending to be confident 

Hyunjin scowl deepens as he looks at me, but something seems to catch his attention as he looks at the boy beside me, Hyunjin seems to look nervous now, but spare a quick glance at puppy boy, seeing him giving Hyunjin a death stare, I feel anxiety fluttering around in the stomach even stronger now 

I quickly look away 

I hear the door open but im to scared to look at who it Is, I hear Jihyo say, "oh hi Lily, do you need anything?" 

I look over seeing a girl carrying two chairs, "no no I'm just bringing chairs over, Minho and chan will be here soon," 

Jihyo smiles, "good!!" 

Shit I didn't expect to meet Minho so soon, I nervously look around the room, seeing people's reactions, there all smiling, I hear the door open trying to brace my self, shit shit I can't do this, I feel sweat building up on the back of my neck, 

A chill goes down my spine, the room seems to visibly get colder I look up and meet eyes with the same sharp cat eyes off my dream 

Chapter Text

Shit I didn't expect to meet Minho so soon, I nervously look around the room, seeing people's reactions, they're all smiling, why are they smiling? Are they not nervous, the things I've heard from Jyps gang members and Jyp himself is that Minho is evil, ruthless, murderous and if you step toe out of line, he will kill and torture you, I hear the door open trying to brace my self, shit shit I can't do this, I feel sweat building up on the back of my neck,

A chill goes down my spine, the room seems to visibly get colder I look up and meet the same eyes as the ones of my dreams, how is that possible, how did I dream of him, his sharp cat, he's even more beautiful in person,

No I can't think like that hes a horrible person and my enemy, I need to kill him

Minho stands at the opposite head off the table, I hear everyone stand up and I quickly follow, standing up, they all start bowing, and I bow too, Minho finally sits down, everyone following suit

I sit down, wiping my sweaty palms on my robe, Minho starts speaking, it's not what I expected, I thought his voice would be raspy, rough but it's not like that at all, his voice is smooth and fresh, maybe even calming, I almost relax but then I remember appearances are deceiving, I would know that all to well 

I focus back into what he is saying, "I'm so sorry me and Chan was late to the meeting, we have been swapped with work, trying to deal with the gang activities rising" 

Momo groans, "Ugh tell me about it" she rolls her eyes 

I see out off the corner off my eye, someone smiling, I look over at them, shit, that's the guy I banged into in the street, Minho said he's called Chan, if he recognises me everything is fucked 

I see Minho handing Chan a stack of paper with words on them, Minho speaks up again, "Chan is going to be handing you all information papers with the stats on the rise on gang activity and what individual "people" are factoring most to this activity, and what gang they are apart of" oh so this is why I need to learn how to read, I roll my eyes, slouching more in my seat 

I feel the paper drop onto the table, I look down at the table, squinting my eyes at the paper, I try to look for words I can recognise 

Gang, oh that's just great, I already fucking knew what it was about 

Division 1? That's Jyps code name of his gang, my eyes widen, they don't know Jyp is a gang leader, that explains why Jeongyeon helped him, she doesn't know who he really is 

Then I see it my code name J.one, I grit my teeth, feeling my hands start to tremble, I quickly hide my hands under the table, the inner and outer core is looking for me, the only good thing is it is obvious they don't know what I look like, so focus on that, pushing my anxiety down, leaving me feeling nothing 

I hear Mina speak up, "Minho, I think it would be better if you read the information out as Han Jisung, the new apprentice Jeongyeon was telling you about can't read yet, I haven't been able to teach him yet as he just came last night" 

I feel Minhos gaze land on me, he nods, humming, "Yes of course" 

I look back down at the peice of paper, my cheeks feeling unusually hot, I feel like butterflies are fluttering in my stomach it feels weird I hate this feeling , I don't know what's happening to me

Minho starts to speak now, " The gang activity have gone up by 73 thief's last year, to 112 this year, the main number off Thief's are coming from the ATTRAKT gang as they are a newer one, but we have luckly got one of our men infiltrating the gang and hes slowly picking off the members, the gang should be taken care off in the next month or so" 

I feel dread pick at my stomach,  he better not try to destroy my gang, I grit my teeth, trying to hide my disdain for him, 

Minho starts speaking again, " my next point is about Division 1", I perk up hearing Minho talk about Jyps gang, but a lump in my throat grows, feeling panic grip me, "we still unfortunately don't know who the leader is, but what we do know is a couple off the names off important members in the gang, Jackson Wang, BamBam, Young K, Wonpil, HyunA and the newest member showing up alot is one called J.one, which I'm amusing is a code name" 

I bite my lip gripping the peice of paper tighter 

Chan speaks up saying, " I know Jackson and BamBam, they aren't actually loyal to Division 1, they work for Jay B,"  Wait Jackson and BamBam are traitorsp!! I feel sweat drip down my back, if they don't already they will know my identity soon

Jihyo nods, humming, "oh yeah Sana knows them too", I look over at Sana seeing her smile, it feels like a punch to the stomach at what have just happened, I thought they were my friends and now here they go, they are going to betray me sooner or later 

Seungmin speaks up, "wait Chan, I read on a bit and saw all the crimes that J.one has comitted, but seeing as Jackson and BamBam are undercover in Division 1 doesn't that mean they would know their real identity?" 

Oh shit no no no this is an ambush, they just let me in here to kill me 

Chan rubs his temples and Minho sighs 

"I asked them what their name were but they wouldn't tell me claiming they were friends with them and wanted to protect them, the only thing they would tell me was that they were a man" 

Hyunjin speaks up with his whiny, judgmental voice, I nearly roll my eyes, if I wasn't one second away from having a panic attack, "why would they protect him!!!, he's a murder and a thief!!" 

How am I a bad person!! I only kill horrible people, they torture innocent people!!, just like jyp said they don't care about people's lives only if they come out on top

Chan, rolls his eyes, "I don't know, BamBam just told me that he doesn't want to put him in danger and that J.one isn't a bad person, he's the victim" 

What? Why does BamBam say im the victim, oh yeah, he all ways found the way Jyp would touch me weird, well yes, I guess I am the victim in that situation 

Hyunjin looks outraged, "HOW!! He can't be the victim!! He kills people!!" 

Changbin looks pissed off, fuck I didn't know people would be fighting so much, I hate loud voices 

Changbin when speaks up, "look Hyunjin I know your dealing with some problems but you don't understand anything about coming from the streets!! You don't understand what it's like so you can't blame J one for the things he has done" 

Minho sighs, and changbin shuts up, "ok thank you so much Changbin and Hyunjin for showing Han Jisung how much we get along," he says sarcastically, I flinch at the sound off my name on Minho tongue, I look over at Minho, my eyes tracing over the sharp edges of his face, I avoid Eye contact with him, but it is nearly impossible, I soon as I look him in the eyes, I feel butterflies in my stomach, what is this feeling again, Minho quickly loses eye contact with me focusing on I.n as he speaks 

I.n speaks up, smiling, showing of his dimples, eyes turning into crescents, "Can we just move on?, is there anything else we need to discuss Minho?" 

Minho smiles at I.n, " no I think we're done for today, thank you I.nna" 

Aww, I think that's pretty cute, so minhos nice to I,n, maybe I could use that against him, even though I.n seems nice everyone in the council are bad people, Hyunjin just proves my point, he has no empathy for other people 

Minho stands up, Chan following suit with him, Minho says, "thank you everyone for coming today, and listening so well, Hyunjin I want you in my office after this" he fits hyunjin with a death stare and I see Hyunjin visibly gulp, 

Jihyo stands up, "thank you Minho for having us" 

Minho focuses on Jihyo and his death stare turns into a bright smile, "no problem Jihyo" he quickly bows to her and so does Chan

His mood are giving me whiplash with how quickly they change, at least with jyp I knew when he was going to be angry which equaled hurting me or happy which then he tried to protect me and smother me with "kindness" 

Jihyo bows back, Chan leaving the room first and Minho trailing behind him, I don't know how to feel, I feel sad watching Minho leave but why?? I Don't understand 

After the meeting, Han Is with Mina learning how to read and write 

I sit down across from Mina as she tries to get me to remember what letters make up sounds, like, f makes a ffff sound and all off those types of things, I think it's going well as she has been encouraging me the whole time, she even teaches me a bit about writing and helps me write out all the letters 

But I think she can tell my dozing off because her tone off voice have started to quiet down, sounding like she's almost trying to lull me to sleep, I rest head on the open palm of my hand, my eyes feeling heavy, fluttering the more she speaks, 

I'm just going to rest my eyes for a second, I slowly close my eyes, I distantly hear the door open and the sound off a new person walking in but I'm too tired to care 

I distantly hear voices of people whispering buy I only catch something, through the heavy fog over my brain, 

"Mina, I'm going to bring him to bed, is that ok, do you think he's doing ok with learning reading writing?"

...

Mina replies, "Yes yes Jeongyeon hes doing good, hes a quick learner, you worry to much, Nayeon is infecting you", she laughs quietly 

...

I hear distantly in Jeongyeon tone that shes smiling, "ok ok thank you so much Mina for your help" 

...

I don't hear anything after that slipping more into the dark confines, that is my mind, getting trapped in memory after memory, everytime I try to escape getting pushed into a new one by a demon off my past

Chapter Text

I don't hear anything after that slipping more into the dark confines, that is my mind, getting trapped in memory after memory, everytime I try to escape getting pushed into a new one by a demon off my past........

I open my eyes to a dark room, looking around, I feel the cold breeze washing over my body, what? A breeze? There's no windows in my room?, I sit up quickly, I feel my stomach turn as I see my surroundings 

Oh no, I'm back here, this is a nightmare, the thin blanket covering my naked body rolls down around my thighs 

I feel phantom feelings of hands over my body, gripping onto my thighs and around my waist, I move my hands to feel around my neck, I press on my skin, feeling the past bruises there 

My stomach turning again at the memory off what happened for me to get them, 

The door swings open, banging against the wall, leaving a mark that will never go away, two off Jyps personal guards walk in, the big, buff, bulky one is the one that done this to me, I try to remember that this isn't real, it's just a dream, it's just a dream, but I can't stop my body from automatically reacting, I move my back as close as I can to the side off the bed and curl up into a tight ball, 

The bulky one slowly walks up to me, Wait I know him? I remember him, "Hannie, baby", he slowly smiles, oh I know who he is now, my hands start to tremble, "Hey, hey, baby, don't worry", he fakes sympathy, he quickly grabs my hands, taking hold off them, I gasp quietly 

No no this can't be real, I know its a dream, I don't want to be back with him!

I look up at him with big eyes, my eyes quickly watering, it's a dream, its a dream, but it feels so real, like I am back there, 11, being manipulated by Choi Eun-ae, 

He takes hold off my chin, I blink tears rolling down my cheek, he rubs the tears off my cheek, kissing them as he wipes them off, 

I whimper, unable to stop myself, he kisses all over my face, "shhh, shh Hannie, I'm sorry for hurting you, I promise I'll be better" 

I can't stop myself from nodding my head, I don't know why I'm doing everything I done this same night in the past, it's like I'm in my body but I don't have control off what I do or say, if I could actually speak.

More tears fall down my face, and I can't stop myself from tucking my head into Choi Eun-ae chest, my shoulders trembling from how hard I am crying, Choi Eun-ae wraps his arms around my bare waist bringing me closer to him, I feel like I'm trapped 

He wraps his arms tighter around me, squeezing my bones tight together, I groan at the feeling, the air getting hit out off my lungs, he strokes my hair with his hand, putting his other hand around the back off my neck, I squeeze my eyes shut, feeling excess tears drop down my cheeks, 

Choi Eun-ae wraps his arms around the back off my thighs, lifting me up onto his lap, I breathe heavily through my noise, putting my lips close to his ear, to try and get the courage to speak to him, I tremble in his hold , Eun-ae strokes the nape off my neck, "Hannie speak up, sweetie" he grips tighter onto my hair, pulling on it sharply, I gasp at the sharp pain, I quickly wet my lips, I whisper quietly, my voice breaking half my through, no no no don't talk to him!! Run away!, "E-eun-ae, who is the ma-man you came in w-with", Eun-ae laughs sharply, bitterly, I flinch up, finally trying to get off him, Eun-ae pulls my hair tighter, dragging my head up to look at him, I whimper at the feeling and the look on Eun-ae face, the dark, knowing look. 

I scream inside my head, move!! Get up! 

Eun-ae smirks, sickenly at me, and looks over at the guy in the room, Eun-ae waves his hand up, signalling for the guy to come over, 

The guy slowly walks over and smiles at me, 

Eun-ae speaks, "Hannie this is Kang Gunen, he's a friend off mine" 

I nod, why aren't I running!!? 

Tears roll down my cheek, Eun-ae grasps onto my cheeks, holding them between his hands, the man Gunen strokes my hair, I flinch at his touch but then Eun-ae squeezes my cheeks in warning, making him try to relax and sink into Gunen hand stroking my hair 

Eun-ae lifts me up by my thighs, dropping me onto Gunen lap, Gunen wraps his hands around my waist, I squeeze my eyes shut trying to ignore the hands on me 

I hear Gunen speak, "Hannie don't be scared ill be slow", 

Eww I forgot how disgusting he was 

Gunen lays me down, crawling on top off me, I start silently crying again, feeling Gunen touch my thighs 

I gasp awake, tears rolling down my face even harder now, I whimper, gasping, trying to slow down my breathing, I can't, I can't breathe!! I gasp in sharp breaths, feeling panic wash over me, I feel nausea entering my stomach, making saliva pool in my mouth, I quickly stand up still hyperventilating, I stumble out of my room, putting my hand over my mouth to try and stop throwing up 

I walk up the steep narrow stone steps, stumbling down the hallway to the bathroom in the east section off the palace, I gag, quickly falling down in front off the toilet, I throw up in the toilet bowl, I rest my head on the toilet seat but then my stomach starts to turn again and I gag and throw up, I dry heave into the toilet the only thing coming out is this white stickly goo from my stomach, I silently cry, my shoulders moving up and down, 

I never want to relive that again, I had nearly forgot about Eun-ae and Gunen, I don't know were they are, or even if they're still alive, I only remember Eun-ae age from back then, he was 33 if I remember correctly, so he would be 41 now

I hear echoing footsteps from behind me, I flinch, turning my head to see Hyunjin walking up to me, he has a sad, sympathetic look on his face at the smell off my throw up and the tear tracks on my face.

But then he seems to wake up and he puts back on his persona, his face turns into disgust, I curl up tighter into a ball, wiping the tears off my eyelashes 

"Ewww Jisung, can your stomach not handle one day of real food??!, what did you eat in the streets??" 

I stand up on trembling legs, and flush the toilet, "leave me alone Hyunjin!" "I can't deal with you!!" 

I try to walk past Hyunjin but he grabs onto my arm, tightening his hold on me, I try to break out of his hold but he doesn't let me go, "let go off me!!!", he looks worried for me, for a second he studies my face, but then his face turns back to normal, turning in disgust, and he pushes me against the wall 

I cry out as my back hits the wall, my fight reflexes kicking in without even thinking about how I'm not supposed to be able to beat a member of the inner core 

I quickly buck my knee up to hit in-between Hyunjin legs, he let's go off me crying out in pain, I quickly grab onto his shoulders pushing him against the wall, I get up close into Hyunjins face, I spit out, "don't fucking touch me again you ferret" Hyunjin looks at me with wide eyes, looking shocked, finally I've done something to shut that asshole up, I hear footsteps coming, so I push Hyunjins shoulders one more time and then walk away 

I hear Hyunjin walking the other way, shit I shouldn't have done that, he better not tell anyone about this 

I wrap my arms around my body, I still feel Eun-ae and Gunen hands all over me, I walk over to the lounge room, there's no point trying to go back to sleep, I'll just have another nightmare, I pick up one off the furry blankets in the corner off the room and curl up in one off the white triclinium (it's like a sofa) (the link is a picture off one)https://images.app.goo.gl/jp2WUmaCvm3cyXy16

I wrap the blanket around me, resting my head on my knees, closing my eyes, my eyes sting from how much I've cried, I stroke my hands over the soft blanket in a therapeutic motion, I hear someone walking in but I don't look up, slowly falling asleep.

When I wake up I am laying down, with the blanket wrapped around me, I slowly open my eyes rubbing them, and looking over to see who is in the the room with me, I hear quiet whispering between, two people, I squint my eyes trying to see who they are, Minho and Seungmin are quietly talking, holding pieces off paper, I yawn, sitting up.

Minho looks up at from what he is reading and smiles at me, I quickly look down, getting that feeling in my stomach again and I feel my cheeks get hot again, 

Seungmin and Minho start talking again, looking like their going over the papers in there hands, 

I hear Seungmin talking, "J.one has gone MIA, he hasn't done any crimes in 2 days and the last time he gone more than a day without doing one crime was when he wiped out the whole Marchetti clan" 

Oh they're talking about me again,  they're not even right I didn't kill all off them I had to bring the children and the wife off the leader to Jyp, I scoff inside my head

I curl up into a ball, I hear new people walk in I look up seeing Hyunjin, Changbin and Chaeryeong walk in, I narrow my eyes at Hyunjin. 

Hyunjin avoids Eye contact with me looking nervous, he quickly walks over to Seungmin, curling up beside him, and hugging him, hyunjin kisses Seungmin cheeks and I faintly see Seungmin blush, kissing him back

Changbin walks over to minho, saying something but I can't catch what he says, Changbin and Chaeryeong then walks over to me and my heart drops thinking they know my real identity but they just walk over to sit beside me, after that Ryujin, yeji, Jeongyeon, Nayeon walk in, is this a meeting I didn't know about? They never asked me to leave so I assume it's fine for me too be here.

Nayeon walks over to me sitting at the other side off me from Changbin and Jeongyeon follows suit, the rest off the girls walk over and sit on a different seat, they all start talking and I turn round to Nayeon asking what is happening, she replies, "Chan and Jeongin are meeting with some foreign ambassador and is going to bring him here, I think he's from Florence or something", I whisper to her, "do I need to be here?" She nods, "Yes!! Off course you need to be here it's good for training and also people will see Jeongyeon new trainee",

I sigh, earning me a glare from Jeongyeon, I smile innocently at her, trying to do my best doe eyes, 

I hear Changbin and Chaeryeong bickering playfully, I almost think I could get used to these people, but another side off me thinks how lonely I am, I wish I could have what they have but I have Yongbok, atleast I know him. no I need to get this mission finished quickly and get back to Yongbok, I'm worried about him 

the door swings open a second later to reveal Chan and Jeongin, followed by 

 Eun-ae!? Oh no please he better not recognise me!

Chapter Text

the door swings open a second later to reveal Chan and Jeongin, followed by 

 Eun-ae!? Oh no, I feel dread enter my stomach, I am sure my face pales 5 shades, I try to stand up too leave but then I remember, I can't know him, i shouldn't even know him, It might make them suspicious off me, he won't even recognise me, I've changed a lot since being 11 

I slouch in my seat, focusing back to listening to Minho, I see him stand up walking in front off Eun-ae, Eun-ae bows to Minho, and I smirk at that, at least Eun-ae respects someone. It's a small victory for me, seeing Eun-ae lower in status than someone else, well of course Minho is the emperor 

Minho speaks, sounding relieved?, what? Why is he relieved??, "thank you Eun-ae for coming, we could use your help getting control off Division 1" 

Of course, seriously is Division 1 that bad!??? Jyp is a good leader, he only hurts people who deserves it 

"Of course Minho, me and Florence would love to commit are services to you and Rome" 

Oh? So he's the ambassador of Florence? Was he the ambassador when I was with him?? 

I still feel nervousness pick at my stomach but i comfort myself in saying he hasn't noticed me yet 

I look around the room seeing Jeongin and Chan sit in a corner together, Chan looks sad? What? Why is he sad, i see Jeongin looking over at Chan worriedly and then Chan seems to finally notice Jeongin worried anxious filled stares Chans expression almost immediately changes to angry or even annoyed, Chan says something angrily at Jeongin trying to brush off Jeongin concern, like that wouldn't make him more nervous 

Eun-ae and Minho sit back down again, reading over the papers together, Eun-ae eyes widen as he reads over the papers, he speaks up, "this J.one person, he should be young because hes definitely new the last time I was in Rome there was no J,one at the 1 Division gang" 

Minho hums, "Yes that's what I was thinking too" 

Eun-ae asks, "do you know his name?" 

Minho shakes his head, no, "all we can assume is that one off his names begin with J" Eun-ae hums, looking up across the room, I am frozen in place, my face turning even paler, if that is possible, Eun-ae finally notices me, and he smirks, looking me up and down, I feel sick to my stomach, I frown, 

I bite my lips, trying to stop myself from showing the angry, distasteful expression on my face, I see Hyunjin look curiously at me and Eun-ae, I look down at my lap, fiddling with my fingers in my lap 

I hear Minho speak too Eun-ae, "do you know Han Jisung??" He sounds confused 

Well if he didn't know who I was, he definitely does now

I hear the smirk in Eun-ae tone of voice, "oh yes I know Hannie well", I feel sick to my stomach, my hands start to tremble and the temperature in the room feels all off a sudden 10x colder 

I see Changbin look at my hands from his place beside me, he quickly puts his arm around my shoulder, I try to stop myself from flinching, I quickly put my head on Changbins shoulder, feeling sweat drip down my temple, I see Eun-ae scowling at me and Changbin

The rest off the inner core looks at us shocked but Hyunjin and Seungmin just look proud? Who are they proud off? Changbin? Wait is Changbin protecting me? Minho has a unreadable expression on his face

Eun-ae wets his lips with his tongue, looking back at the peices off paper and then he says, "it would be my honour to help you Minho, I think we should focus on finding J.one first" 

He looks over at me, smiling, I shiver in Changbins hold, shit I think he knows I'm J.one, he was always so smart, that's probably why he's got away with hurting me and so many other teenagers for so many years

Changbin tightens his grip around me glaring at Eun-ae, why are these people protecting me? I only just met them. They're making me miss Yongbok more than I already was, I need to kill Minho soon, even though I dont hate him, I still need to, I look over at Chan and Jeongin, they are still fighting about something, Chan has his arms wrapped around his torso, looking like a little kid getting scolded by his parent, and Jeongin he looks pissed, rightfully so by how Chan is acting, I narrow my eyes at them, what are they fighting about??

I look straight ahead feeling someone's eyes on me, I look straight into Minhos eyes, seeing him look curious for a second but then his expression changes back to one off indifference and expressionless. I feel butterflies bubble in my stomach and feel the top off my cheeks get red, I look over at Seungmin and Hyunjin, seeing Hyunjin sitting on Seungmin lap, looking all in love, in their own little world, staring into eachothers eyes, Wait are they dating?? I see Eun-ae looking lustfully at Hyunjin, licking his lips and then turning around and winking at me

No no!! I'm not letting it be my fault he hurts anyone else, even though Hyunjin is a dick, no one deserves to go through what me and countless other people gone through, I won't let this be another thing that's my fault, just like all them other children that was my fault just like Eun-ae told me, I shiver at the thought, I quickly stand up, changbin goes to grab me but then he stops halfway through, I don't know why but I think he thinks better of it seeing as he could most likely feel me flinching against him.

I walk over to Eun-ae, feeling Hyunjin, Chan and Minhos eyes follow my movement, I growl out my words, "Eun-ae! We need to talk", I glare at him, he spreads his legs wide in front off me, smirking, he laughs at me, "of course we can talk Hannie", he stands up, slowly following me out off the room 

We walk down a couple of corridors, I quickly corner him against the wall, pushing my fingers against his chest, crowding him against the wall

"What are you doing here!!" 

He laughs, smirking at me, looking to smug for his own good, "I'm so sorry Hannie if my job is interfering in your mission" he says sarcastically , laughing again 

I look at him angry, "and don't fucking think about touching Hyunjin!!" 

"Ohh are you jealous Hannie?, don't worry I'll give you all my attention and I never thought you would stand up for a pretty boy, you were always a jealous, needy little thing", 

"Yeah because I would fucking get food if you thought I liked you!!" My face goes red from shutting and anger

I look at him in disgust, looking him up and down, he laughs, "oh you really have changed Hannie, from the malnourished little boy I picked up homeless on the streets", 

"I love how your just bursting with anger darling" 

I scowl at him, "and you have more fucking wrinkles" 

"Oh feisty, I love it, maybe you'll finally start fighting back" 

"I never fought back because I was malnourished and didn't have any energy because you kept me that way so I couldn't fight back dipshit" 

"Oh yeah I guess I forgot about that" he smirks at me 

He pushes against my fingers on his chest 

"Soo how did you become J.one, my cute little Hannie" 

I scowl, "after you disappeared, I gone back onto the streets and HyunA found me and invited me into the gang" I roll my eyes 

Eun-ae quickly wraps both my wrists in a bruising tight hold 

I try to break my hands free but he tightens the hold making me wince

"Aww did you miss me" I look at him in disgust, " eww no old man",

He uses the advantage to change are positions pushing me against the wall, I groan as my head bangs against the wall, I push my legs up, hitting Eun-ae in the groin but he punches my stomach, making me dry heave, and groan quietly, i try to push against Eun-ae but he grabs hold off my hair, crashing my head against the wall,  I wrap my hands around his neck, squeezing on his windpipe, I try to bite one off his arms but he bangs my head against the wall harder over and over again, I start to feel lightheaded, my vision going blurry, I feel something warm and runny roll down my back, my head starts to feel heavy as my eyes droop down, my muscles going lax, the only thing keeping me up is Eun-ae's hand on my hair, his other hand moves to dig into the back off my head, I scream, crying out in pain, my muscles tightening and loosening in shock, I spasm in his hold eventually going lax again, feeling even more tired 

One second I am standing up and the next I hear a bang off someone falling to the ground and I collapse to the ground, my legs feeling to numb and weak to hold me up, my head hitting my chest, drooping down, i slowly start breathing in and out, tears starting to pool in my eyes, I see muscular legs come into my vision, and the next second Minho is dropping down coming into my vision 

I whimper out in pain, Minho quietly speaks to me, "Jisung, I'm going to wrap a peice off cloth around your head to slow the bleeding and then ill help you too the infirmary, Is that ok?" 

I groan, nodding my head, sharp pain travelling through my spine, I whimper, tears filling my eye, I see guards dragging Eun-ae away as I turn my head to look at were the sound is coming from, I hear him screaming distantly, groaning from the pain traveling down my spine

Minho grabs onto my chin, turning my head back so I'm facing him, he almost looks. Jealous? "Baby I need words" 

I whimper, I don't know what's happening my emotions are all over to place, butterflies fluttering in my stomach and heat travelling all over my body, is this anxiety? But why do I feel so safe 

I quickly remember I need to speak, "yeah, it's fine, all good" I groan again, I'm starting to feel lightheaded, feeling more warm liquid pouring down my back, 

Minho smiles at me, "turn around baby" 

Tears roll down my cheek, I quickly turn around, I feel Minho wrap a peice of fabric around my head, more tears spill down my cheeks, my lips wobble as I suck in sharp breaths 

"Jisung baby, I'm sorry if I hurt you"

I suck in another breath before saying, "no Minho I'm fine, it didn't hurt" 

"Ok baby I'm going to stand you up on your feet now" 

Minho lifts me up by my waist, I quickly feel lightheaded falling into minhos side, Minho wraps his arm around my waist, I blush feeling heat pool into my stomach as he leads me to the infirmary 

My head keeps on dropping down to Minho arm, Minho tightens his hold around me, "Baby stay awake", I open my eyes wider, grabbing onto Minho tighter as my legs wobble 

"jisung are you ok?" 

I clear my throat, "mhm I'm fine, just feeling lightheaded", Minho opens the door, calling for someone, but my head is ringing so loud I can't hear anything past it, I look up at Minho and seeing the look off panic on his face before everything turns black 

Chapter Text

I look up at Minho, seeing the look off panic on his face before everything fades into black,

I feel my body turn weightless, my legs falling out from under me and then I can't feel anything after that.

...

One second all I see is darkness and then the next everything is fading back into colours,

I feel warm first, that's the first thing my body recognises and then the next thing is the thick warm strong thighs underneath my lap, I feel light and safe, I don't feel any pain in my head, has it healed already? 

I don't feel nervous, which is a shock because I don't know who this person I'm sitting on is, I look over my shoulder, feeling sluggish, I tiredly see someone with soft chocolate brown Hair, I can't make out their facial features, it's like a blurred mark is covering this man's face, but I still don't feel anxiety bubbling in my stomach, what I do feel is contempment settling over my chest and heat pooling in my lower stomach 

The unknown man, grabs my chin, moving his fingers over my cheeks, I feel heat rising in my cheeks, breathing through my nose, the man speaks up, "you're so cute Jisungie, baby" I think he's smiling but I can't tell through the blurr covering his face

I still can't tell who he is, I don't recognise him from my past, maybe I'm going to meet him soon?

I smile, my cheeks bunching up, I rest my head on his strong shoulder, feeling his hand travel from my cheeks to my waist, he stands up and for a second andll I think he's going to drop me but then, he moves his hands from my waist to my butt, and I giggle putting my face into his neck, I feel the vibrations off laughter against my chest, feeling heat travel up my neck to my face,

He walks around the room carrying me with him, I kiss him on the lips, him kissing me back, he sneaks his hand up my shirt, squeezing my side making me giggle 

He walks me into a room full off people I count them., 6 people, but the 6th person catches my eye, he's the only one that doesn't have a blurr covering his face, 

Yongbok??

...

I gasp awake, my head feeling unusually heavy, my eyes fluttering open, I take in my surroundings, seeing the furr blanket around my body, lose cloth night clothes on my body 

My eyes are heavy feeling sore because of how tired I am, I try to move to sit up but my arms are too weak to hold myself up and I fall back down to the bed, I look around the room seeing Minho sitting on a stool beside my bed, he smiles when I finally notice him, "how are you feeling Jisungie?"

I swallow, trying to moisten my dry throat speaking up, " I feel fine just tired", I look at him through hooded eyes, "what did you give me? For the pain", my head feels more heavy by the second, my head feeling foggy, "the healer gave you poppies, henbane seeds and mandrake", I look at him humming, I feel confused, my head starting to ache as I try to consontrate on what he's saying, I gulp again, my throat feeling dry again, "what are those?" My voice sounds weak as I yawn, feeling my limbs turn weaker, I move my hand to reach out for Minhos hand, I'm tired, I don't know what I'm doing, I'm not getting attached to Minho, I'm just getting him to trust me so I can kill him, i hum, yes I'm going to kill him, Minho softly smiles at me, grabbing onto my hand and holding it between both off his hands, "Poppies to make the pain in your nerves go away it also limits movement, henbane induces sleep. Mandrake takes away pain" 

Wait didn't Eun-ae used to give me Henbane? So that's what it did 

I hum, feeling my consciousness slip away, I hear Minho saying, "sleep well Jisungie" 

I grab tighter onto Minhos hand before falling asleep, 

...

Chan POV 

I am sitting down In my office, the fire slowly burning, filling the room with a cozy, smokey wood smell, making the room warm, the room is full off reds, browns and beige, I quickly go back to studying the peices of paper on Division 1, I look at all the information we have on the special members in the gang , I finally got Jackson to tell me more information about J.one but he was very tight lipped about it, J.one is 19, 5'6, he got recruited at 12 by HyunA and started missions at 16, the fire have started to calm down, the fire turning smaller

I look at all the members off the gang that joined around J.ones time, 

Gun Heong 

Win Tunyu 

Jii Minji 

Ganh Jisun 

Seo Eun 

Woo Hen 

Beak Ahn 

Goo Wenji 

There's not a lot off clues but I can assume the first clue is the ones that have g in there names 

Gun Heong 

Ganh Jisun

Goo Wenji 

I look up Gun Heong first trying to find my paper on him, i finally find it, scanning my eyes through the paper, it says he's 45, well I can rule him out 

I quickly put his papers away, looking for Ganh Jisuns papers next, I shuffle around the desk, finding a single peice off paper about him, all it says is, that they're a boy, is 12, 5'4 but I look at the date seeing that it hasn't been updated in 7 years, this is J.one, but it's a dead end they're nothing else about this boy 

I quickly move onto other gangs quickly getting lost in my work, I don't even notice when the fire completely burns out, the outside turns dark and cold, the window letting in a cold breeze making me shiver and finally break out off my trance, 

I didn't realise how tired I was until a yawn rips out off me, I rub my eyes going back into my work, the room has been getting colder the more I sit here, shivering, blowing my hot breath onto my hands trying to heat them up, I quickly get back to my work, looking over the documents on the different countries me and Minho have explored over the years, an hour later, I hear the door open, and I look up seeing jeongin enter, and then his face turns into shock, "Chan! It's freezing in here!!" 

I nod, "I needed to finish work, Innie" 

He nods, I can see through his facade that he's trying to hide his anger behind a calm smile, "ok, come on Channie let's go to bed" 

I look at my desk, going to speak, saying "I still have som-" jeongin grabs onto my hand dragging me up, "no Channie!, we're going to bed!" I fall into Jeongin, I go to argue against leaving but then I see Jeongins expression, shit he looks livid and I think better off it quietly following him, holding his hand, to ourp bedroom, 

He quickly lays in bed, I go to follow him in a trance but then he laughs saying "Channie remember you need to change into more comfortable clothes" I nod, quickly grabbing my bed clothes, and stripping changing into them, I then slip into bed with Innie, wrapping my arms around him, he moves closer to me wrapping his arms around my waist, Jeongin then looks up at me, giving me the biggest puppy eyes, knowing I would never be angry at him, he whispers to me, "I'm sorry Channie for getting angry, I just don't like seeing you over work yourself" 

I smile, slowly any negative emotions I had disappearing instantly, shit Changbin is right, I'm really just head over heels for Innie

"No you were right Innie, shouldn't be working so late into the night"

I feel Innie smile against me and he kisses my cheek, "ok night Channie" 

I close my eyes feeling peaceful just being beside Jeongin, I quickly fall asleep, knowing I'm going to have the best night's sleep in months

...

POV Hyunjin 

I am wrapped around Seungmin in the living room, resting my head on his neck, Minnie kisses me on the neck, I feel his hot breath fan over me making me giggle, I whine, "Minnie stop teasing me!!" I feel Minnie laugh into my neck, sucking a spot into it, I feel heat rising up my cheekbones, making me wrap my hands tighter around his shoulders 

I hear someone walk into the room, groaning as they see me and Seungmin cuddled together, "HYUNJINNIE, MINNIE WHY DIDNT YOU INVITE ME", he fake whines, I hear Seungmin laugh deeply against my neck, shivering in his hold, "of course you can join Changbinnie", he smirks against my neck, I smiles, turning around to face Changbin, a give a fake shocked expression "aren't you saving yourself for Felix!!?" I gasp loudly, being over dramatic 

Changbin gasps too, "of course I am!!!" 

I laugh, tucking myself back into Seungmins neck, Seungmin strokes the back off my neck, Seungmin asks, "what were you doing Binnie", he groans, raising his head to the roof, "I was interrogating Eun-ae", 

Wait? What??, I quickly turn around, looking at Changbin shocked, "what why??!" 

Changbin looks nervous, rubbing the back off his neck, "Eun-ae attacked Han, we're trying to figure out why, but he's not talking" 

"Minnie, Binnie I need to tell you something"

Seungmin and Changbin quickly look at me, giving me all their attention, "yesterday I saw Han throwing up and I gone over to him maybe acting a bit bitchy" I feel nervous admitting that but they just nod waiting for me to finish my story, "then he threatened me and pushed me against a wall, I don't think he's who he says he is, I don't know I just have a feeling" 

Seungmin nods, "ok I'll tell Channie, what you think Jinnie cause normally your right" 

Changbin, nod, humming, "Eun-ae is supposed to know Han so ill try to get information about Han out off him" 

I smile feeling relieved, "thank you so much guys" 

Changbin smiles, walking away

I go back to hugging Seungmin feeling him stroke my sides and kiss my hair, I feel happy here, just sitting in Seungmins arms 

...

Changbin POV

I walk down the dimly lit cellor, playing the new information inside my head, I need to ask Eun-ae about Han

I walk down stopping outside a door, quickly opening it, seeing Eun-ae tied to a metal chair, candles all throughout the room, the lingering smell off blood and decay, I pick up a small, sharp dagger, quickly walking over, I put on a fake smile, "hi Eun-ae how are you?" Blood is still drying and dripping of him from are last torture session 

He peels his eyes open, smiling, looking at me

"So how do you know Han?" 

Eun-ae laughs but then starts to violently cough, he smiles, "me and Hannie go way back, I knew him from when he was 11", I raise my eyebrows, "what else do you know about him" 

"I can't tell you" he says grumpily

I groan, walking closer to him, stabbing his arm with my dagger, he screams out, I drag the dagger across his arm, twisting the dagger around, "tell me, where he's from" 

He spits on me, "I thought you were friends with him" groaning in pain

I twist the dagger deeper into his arm, I groans, "fine!! Fine!! He was from London, some roman officer kidnapped him and then I found him on the street!!" 

I smile, grabbing another dagger, "now, who brought han over to Rome" 

I stab the dagger into his other arm

He cries out in pain, "some guy called Kang Xuin" 

I smile, "thank you so much Eun-ae" I leave both off the daggers in his arms, walking away 

...

Han POV 

I am walking down a dark, cold cobblestone street following a man in a dark cloak, the man seems to be getting faster every second  I sprint to keep up with him, quickly getting out of breath, feeling sweat drip down my back, I see civilians on the side off the streets, moving out off the way for me, falling down onto their knees, bowing, chanting, "we love you great Sir Han jisung" I quickly catch up with the man, seeing his ghostly pale face, but what stands out is, he is Yongbok, 

Yongbok whispers out in a hushed voice, "I am Felix, I have multiple names" 

I stare at him confused, where have a heard the name Felix before?? 

Chapter Text

Of course I remember it, I remember it like any other day, I will never forget what happed, 

I was 5, I was asleep in my lumpy old bed, cuddling around my two older brothers, Han Hyoen who was 11 and  Han Jyun Ho who was 14, trying to keep warm through the cold, wet winters off London, getting shooken violently awake by my Eomma, who had tear tracks rolling down her cheeks, her dirty old dress that was, stretching over her pregnant belly, with my younger sister in her arms who was 2.

I groggy opened my eyes, feeling confused, "Eomma? What is happening", I asked in a quiet voice taking in how distressed she looks 

I feel my older brothers waking up beside me, they quickly stand up seeming to understand what is happening, Eomma talks quietly to my brothers, telling them something I can't hear, I start feeling scared, looking around the room, I focus next on what I can hear, people are screaming and crying, my eyes widen, "Eomma!! What's happening", I feel tears fill my eyes 

Jyun, then walks over to me, picking me up, tears roll down my chubby cheeks, my two brothers look more like my father, they have sharper features and wide jaws, I look more like my mum, even as a baby people always told my mum I looked like her, my sister looks more like my father too, she has his dark hair and fox like eyes as I have round eyes another thing in common with my mother, 

I look harshly around the room for father but he is no where, "Eomma!, where is Appa!!" More tears escaping my eyes 

My mother looks like she's nearly breaking herself, her bottom lip is wobbling, but she still manages to smile, holding herself together for her innocent, weak, warm hearted son, I scoff at the thought, If she saw me now, she would be so disappointed 

"Dont worry Jisungie, your father's fine, your brothers are going to take you and your sister into a special hiding place, we're playing hide and seak, me and your father are the seekers!" She is now smiling widley passing my sister to my other brother, but I see tears rolling down her face, and she kisses all my siblings on the forehead, taking off the necklace, me and my sibling saved up to buy her one year, it's a silver chain and it has charm off I sunflower hanging off it, she kisses it locking it around my neck, her lip starts to wobble as she says, "wear this always Jisung, ok?" 

I nod quickly, "why don't you want to wear it Eomma?" 

She smiles, "its just so if I get lost trying to find you and your sibling in hide and seek I can imagine you wearing the necklace to find were you are" 

"You won't cheat?" More tears roll down her cheek, "no off course not honey, now go before I find you!!" She smiles wide

My brothers walk away carrying me and my sister, me hide in the coat closet, squished together, my brothers told me and my sister to be quiet because mother might hear us 

We have been hiding for hours or at least it feels like that, I whine against my brothers side, "where's Eomma we've been hiding for so long" 

My brother quickly whispers telling we to shh or Eomma will find us 

I quickly close my mouth promising to be quiet, I hear footsteps coming into the room, sounding like people are running in, I hear heavy breathing, it must be Eomma, I smile giggling, my older brother Jyun looks at me with wide eyes, covering my mouth with his hand, but are whereabouts was already known 

The next second the closet was being ripped open and we were all being pulled out, separating me and my siblings from eachother, I hear someone crying out from on the ground 

My mother who has a pool off blood around her

My eyes go wide, and even in my small 5 year old brain I still knew this was all my fault 

My eyes start to fill with tears, whimpering against the hold this man has on me, I look around the room seeing two man dressed in shiney armour around my mother, looking at her weirdly, my sibling all have someone in the same armour holding them too, my older brothers are fighting against the men, trying to get over to my mother, looking angry 

Me and my sister are both crying, I see my brother Jyun, break free from the man, running over too my mother but than in a spilt second his body falls to the ground and his separated head falls right next to my mother, splattering the room with his blood, my mother cries out reaching out to touch my brother head, screaming and crying, 

I feel acid reach my throat and I throw up all I had for dinner yesterday, tears pool down my cheeks as I gasp in breaths, trying to ignore my brothers blood all over the room, my mother is still screaming becoming just constant background noise almost white noise over my own thoughts, this is my fault, they found us because off me 

I cry out my, whimpering, my other brother have stopped fighting in the mans hold, but is carrying an emotionless expression, 

I man that is holding me grunts making me flinch, he grumps to one off the men around my mother, "shut that useless bitch up, we don't need her I think her daughter and this cry baby son, will be fine for general Kang Xuin" 

My mind Is racing at what this man just said, and I start to sob hysterically, the man grunts again putting I big black peice off ball shaped rubber in my mouth and ties the back off it around my head to shut me up, my sobbing is now muffled as I struggle to breathe just from my nose, drool starts to gather up on the sides off my mouth, dripping down my neck and face 

Tears roll down my face, my eyes starting to hurt from crying so much 

I see a man walk closer to my mum, her whimpering and crying, she nearly goes back to screaming her mouth open ready to shout and scream but then the stabs her in the mouth the sword coming out through the back off her neck and everything goes deadly quiet as the sound off blood shooting so fast and with so much power out off her neck it shoots everywhere over the room, her blood drenches my body and I sob even louder know that I am covered in my mother blood

It is warm, sliding over my skin, dripping off my hair, I gasp feeling it drip into my mouth that is now full off the taste of iron and warm thick goo, I try to spit it out but I choke on the blood as the rubber is blocking it from leaving my mouth 

I hear the person holding me start to laugh as he sees my panicked expression, I finally turn around to look at me, he is a giant, he's so tall I am only just above his knees in height, I knew my parents are short but he's a giant, I see the cruel expression on his face, the cockiness just dripping from him, just like my mother's blood is dripping from me, I whimper looking away from him, he lifts me up, holding me on one off his arms, making me flinch in his hold, I see my sister crying, being held by another man, 

I hear someone walk into the room and everyone bows to him, even the man holding me bows, I hear the man say, "rise men" and they all stand up and I see the man they all bowed to walk in between me and my sister, "now who are these little cuties" he smiles creepily 

The man holding me speaks, "these are the woman's youngest children, we were thinking we train the girl to be a meretrix and the boy could be trained to be exoleti, seeing as he's just like a woman with all the crying he's doing" 

The man scoffs, nodding his head, "yeah ok, go back to the ship, we're going back to Rome" 

The man then turns to my older brother, "what about him?" 

The man speaks again, "we were thinking he could be trained to be a soilder" 

The other man nods, "ok yeah, put him on the ship too" 

The man carrying me starts walking and I shiver when me get outside, I smell the smoke and blood in the air, getting hit with a sudden hot air all over me, I see someone lighting my house on fire, my eyes widening, my eyes start to sting from the heat, the man walking quicker, I see a big wooden ship in the distance, I get hit with the smell off salt water, drool still slipping down my neck, as my jaw starts to hurt from not being able to shut it, 

The man grabs onto the rubber ball in my mouth, shoving it deeper into my mouth making it hit the back off my throat, I gag on it, feeling my eyes water, and more drool drip out off my mouth 

I slowly blink up at him, him smiling cruelly at me, he finally walks into the ship, walking down the hallways of the ship and down to the bottom off it, I see lots off other children both boys and girls tied down to the bottom off the ship, 

The man pushes the ball further into my mouth, I feel it nearly go down my throat and he keeps his finger there not letting it get gagged forward, I gag repeatedly over it, feeling acid fill my throat and I cough and choke until it goes back into my stomach, tears fill my eyes and roll down my cheeks, with his other hand he puts another mouthpiece into my mouth to keep the ball down my throat 

He then ties a peice off cloth around my eyes, I feel panic grip me, and in seconds the cloth is full off my tears turning it a darker colour, I cry out, gagging on the ball again, I feel him sit me down on the cold, hard, ground, the man grabs my wrists, tying them up with ropes to a railing above me 

More tears roll down my cheeks as I sob, hearing the man laugh and slowly walk away 

I cry wishing my mum was here to comfort me, I cry even harder remembering my mums dead, I feel her blood drying on my skin, I gag repeatedly over the ball again, my eyes slowly start to close under the peice of cloth, feeling all the energy drain out off me, I slowly fall asleep still crying silently 

...

I gasp awake, tears rolling out off my eyes, my eyes glazed over, my mind feels foggy, where am I? This doesn't look like my room with Yongbok 

I feel someone grab onto my hand and I look over at them, scrambling away, more tears roll down my cheeks, it's my fault My mum and brother died, and I don't even know where my other sibling are, I gasp, sobbing, my vision turning blurry with how many tears are rolling down my cheeks 

I tremble, sobbing even harder, I hear the person start to speak that's holding my hand, "Jisungie, hey, hey, your fine, it was just I dream" 

I sob even harder, the thing is, it wasn't just a dream, it was all real, 

"Sungie, breathe, everything is fine, whatever you dreamt about if you breathe we can talk about it" 

He mimics someone taking deep breathes, and I try to consontrate on him, but all I can see inside my head is the image off my brother and mother dying infant off me, no because off me 

I cry even harder, my cheeks start to heat up with how hard I'm crying, the man, which now I realise is Minho, moves closer to me sitting on the bed infront off me, "Sungie, breathe, I can't help you, if you don't", I start taking deep breaths, trying to stop myself from hyperventilating, I whimper, small gasps coming out off my mouth, 

Minho speaks in his overally soft voice, it almost sound fake, "there you go baby, your fine, do you want to talk to me?" 

I shake my head no, he nods ok, "do you want me too hold you baby" 

I nod, heat rising in my cheeks, he lifts me onto his lap by my waist, I feel dizzy by the sudden movements, my head feeling heavy, my head falls down onto his muscular shoulder, I feel his thick, strong thighs underneath my lap, he strokes my hair, and he chuckles, "you feeling ok, Sungie?", I nod, tucking my head closer inbetween his neck and shoulder. 

Minho strokes my sides, taking hold off my hands, I breathe into Minhos neck, "Sungie are you sure you don't want to tell me about your dream?", I shake my head, feeling tears fill my eyes, A tear dripping down onto Minhos neck, "Baby don't cry again, your fine", "you can tell me in your own time, only if you want to" 

I deflate into Minhos lap, sinking closer to Minho, I close my eyes trying to relax 

I hear the door open, feeling Minho wrap his arms around my waist, 

Minho speaks, " Council member Kim, good to see you, do you need anything?" 

I push my head closer into minhos neck, I feel the vibrations deep in Minhos chest everytime he speaks, he rubs the back off my neck, he pools in my stomach, making buttflies flutter in my stomach 

The man Kim speaks up again, "Changbin found information about J.one from Eun-ae" 

I tense up, and Minho starts rubbing up and down my sides trying to calm me down, what he doesn't know is that I'm scared that they're going to find out I'm J.one 

Kim continues what he was saying, "he found out the boy is from England and was kidnapped by the general Kang Xuin", 

I feel Minho nod against my lips, 

I whine against Minhos neck at the mention off Xuin, the images of my mother and brother playing inside my head again, Minho whispers comforting words in my ear making me shiver at his warm breath, but also instantly relaxing me, I don't know what it is about Minho that makes me so relaxed, I need to remind myself he's a killer and has tortured people, I whine again Minho cupping my chin, and holding my face, 

The man Kim, bows, as I slowly turn my face to see him, he speaks up, "I'll be leaving, take good care of your boy, Emperor"  he bows again leaving the room", 

Minho tightens his hold on my jaw, turning my face around so I'm looking at him, my lip starts to wobble as I think about all the thing Xuin took from me, and what his men did

Minho asks calmly, "please baby tell me what happened I don't like seeing you so upset" 

I burst into tears at minhos words, hanging my head low, no one has ever been as kind to me as he is, how could he be a killer, be cruel and ruthless when he's so nice to me, my head is moving in circles, I'm so confused 

Minho tuts grabbing my jaw again making me look into his eyes, "come on baby use your words", 

I take in gasping breaths, feeling confused all over again, the use off the pet name he keeps calling me making my head even more fuzzing and making heat pool in my stomach again 

I don't know if I should tell him, its another step to him finding out who I really am 

But I look into his eyes getting hypnotised by his beauty, I can't lie to him, I realise to late the word coming out off my mouth and I soon as I speak one they all just bubble over out off my mouth 

"Xuin, and his men, killed my family", I close my eyes, seeing flashes off my brothers decapated head and my mother's screams" 

I feel Minho wrap his arms around my shoulders pulling me in for a tighter hug, tears drip down my cheeks onto Minho shirt, 

"When I was 5, and he brought me to Rome and trained me to be a exoleti" 

I hear Minho gasp quietly tightens his hold on me, "Jisungie I'm so sorry" 

I lift my head off his chest and see the look on his face, dark and dangerous, I know this look, he wants to kill someone,

He wants to kill Xuin 

Chapter Text

After Minho comforted me wiping the tears off my cheeks, he sat up against the headboard of the bed, sitting me in his lap, I blush, feeling heat pool in my stomach, 

Minho wraps his arms losely around my waist, I feel Minhos lips go close to my ear, shivering at the feeling off his hot breath close to me, feeling sparks go down my spine, Minho speaks, "do you want some food Jisungie?" I nod against Minho, my stomach rumbling, Minho chuckles against me, "ok I'll go get you food", Minho gets up from under me, gently setting me down

I feel dread drip into my stomach, I am sure I  pale 2 shades, Minho looks at me worried, "you ok sungie?" 

I nod, I don't know why I'm worried, I was never worried before when being by myself, I don't know why I'm feeling worried now 

Minho looks at me for a couple of seconds longer but then walks away, saying he'll be back soon 

I grip onto the fur blanket, feeling a lump in my throat grow, I don't know maybe I'm worried because off Eun-ae? I never expected to see him again and know he's hurt me, I more my hand up timidly to feel the back off my head where the wound is, 

I gasp as I touch it, pain exploding from the spot, the pain travels all the way down my spine, the pain settles on my temples and at the back off my eyes 

I rub my eyes, slouching in my position off resting against the headboard, my hair is messy sticking up and nearly hiding my eyes from view, my limbs still feel heavy from the medicine but not as much from when I first woke up, 

My cheeks are tinted red at the top from being around Minho, I hear noise coming from a door that I don't know what it leads to and then a noise looking woman walks over holding a box off things, sitting down on the chair Minho was using 

I feel nervous pool into my stomach replacing the warmth from earlier 

She smiles calmly, sweetly, "how are you feeling Jisung?" 

I smile nervously, humming, "I feel fine, just behind my eyes and temple hurts", 

She hums, opening the box she was carrying, I hear her shuffle around in the box, picking out a peice off cloth,  some ointments and little pills, she also sets a small bowl off water on the bedside 

"Is it ok if I clean your wound and redress it?" She asks sweetly, I look in her eyes, trying to see if there's any maliciousness in them, I see non, trying to relax 

I nod, "Yes you can", she smiles, "just warning you, it may be painfull but we can stop at anytime", I hum, she holds one off the edges off my bandages, unwrapping it, as soon as she gets to were the wound is, I feel a splitting pain all through my head, travelling through my spine, I tightly close my eyes, 

I feel air rush to my wound, my head throbbing, I can hear and feel my heart beating in my chest

The woman's speaks calmly, "I'm going to clean your wound now", I nod, whimpering at the feeling off pain sparking through my spine 

I feel a warm moist white cloth rub against my head, my head starts to feel hot with how much pain I'm going through, my hands trembling 

I feel her rubbing ointment onto my wound, making it sting, my head explodes in the pain and I groan, my eyes watering, the woman's speaks up in a sad voice, "I'm just going to wrap it and then I'll give you stuff for the pain" 

I groan, humming as an answer, my head is buzzing, pain travelling the whole way through my body, my hands are trembling worse, as I bring them up to my face, biting down on my hand 

I feel sweat drip down my face and neck from the pain, my eyes going in and out off focus from tears, sweat building up on my brow

I feel her wrap the bandages around my head, jolting as the new pressure from the bandages make the pain and headache worse 

I cry out, more sweat dripping down my neck, tears building on my waterline, the woman looks at me sadly, she looks around in her box and picks out a vile that has some leafs floating init, she hands it to me, "its for the pain", 

My gulp to moisten my throat, "what is in it", my voice is trembling from pain, "it has Mandrake, it's a sedative and pain relief" 

I take the stopper off the glass vile and quickly downing it, coughing at the taste, 

I hear the doors open, Minho entering holding a tray with food on it, the woman bows to Minho, so deeply she might as well be touching the floor 

I put the vile on the bedside table, pain travelling through my spine at the movement, I whine, crying out and Minho is quickly at my side, putting the tray down on the other bedside, "Sungie are you ok?" 

The woman speaks up in a small timid voice, "Emperor Minho, Sir, I dressed his wounds, it will hurt for a while but I gave him stuff for the pain" she bows deeply again

Minho holds my face, "thank you Katrina", "I'll call for you if I need your help" 

Katrina walks away quickly bowing multiple times 

The pain is starting to dull, the longer Minho is holding my face, I don't know if its the medicine or just Minho himself, Minho speaks quietly, "do you want me to feed you Sungie?" 

I nod, humming, Rubbing my head against Minho hand 

Minho, sits down on the bed, lifting me by my hips onto his lap, my head resting sideways on his chest, I blush from being manhandled so easy, the pain is dulling more by the second but is being replaces by cotton filling my head, 

My head feels heavy laying against Minho chest, I see him bring a small peice off bread over to lips, tapping my cheek to get my attention, I slowly open my mouth, he plops the piece of bread in my mouth, closing my jaw 

I chew on the bread, my head feeling heavy, Minho moves me around so I'm facing him 

Minho smiles at me and I look at him through hooded eyes , Minho holds a peice off fruit to my lips, and I open them. Chewing slowly, Minho pinches my cheeks, making me smile, 

My head feels stuffy, my eyes glazing over as my head drops falling onto Minhos hand, Minho holds my face between his hands, 

"Sungie you feeling ok?" 

I nod, moving closer to Minho, "just feelin' tired" I yawn, 

"Do you think you can eat more?" 

I nod, yawning, "a little bit" 

Minho grabs another peice of bread, holding it in front off me, I eat it from his fingers, seeing the tip off his ears turn red, 

Minho wraps his arms around my waist, "do you want to take a bath" 

If I was feeling less tired I would most likely make a joke about how offended I am that you think I'm smelly, but I just nod feeling to tired 

"I might fall asleep" I rest my head on Minhos shoulder 

Minho says, "that's ok baby, I'll wash you" 

I hum, my head full off cotton, my eyes drooping down 

Minho carries me down the hallway, up stairs, and across more hallways, I am nearly dozing off when he sets me down on a counter in the bathroom, I let my head fall down, hanging my head between my shoulder, 

Minho lifts my head up, "try to stay awake baby, just until I get you in the bath" 

I nod, leaning against Minho, I hear footsteps walk into the room, I hear the sound off water hitting against metal, and then I hear people shuffling around the room, I look up seeing two people, putting some type off ointments into the bath and then they bow to Minho walking away, 

Minho holds my waist, "are you ok if I undress you?" 

I feel my cheeks turn hot, I hum, "its fine" my head clearing, as he lifts me by my waist, standing me up, my knees buckle, my legs feeling numb and heavy 

Minho catches me, holding me tightly, "Can you stand baby?" I nod, "I think I can" I look up at him with big eyes and he smiles, holding onto my nightclothes he slips it over my head, folding it and putting it on the counter, Minho holds onto my bare waist, "Sungie can you step up as I take your pants off" 

I nod, blushing at his words, Minho holds onto my pants pulling them off as I step out off them, 

I look up at Minho seeing his cheekbones dusted in pink, i blush feeling embarrassed, Minho speaks up, "I need to take you bandage off for the bath", I nod, my hands starting to tremble thinking about the pain, Minho gently unwraps my bandage , I don't feel any pain, them painkillers are working maybe too well, Minho clears his throat, "I'll help you into the bath", 

I nod stumbling over to the bath, heat pooling in my stomach, my legs start to feel heavy again with the smell off honey and lavender, my head feeling fuzzy, Minho stands behind me, saying, "do you want me to help you into the bath?" 

I nod, drowsly, I feel minhos strong veiny hands on my waist, lifting me far too easily into the bathtub 

I get surrounded by the water, the smell off honey, lavender and the faint smell off smoke coming off Minho, 

I sink deeper into the bathtub, my head filling with cotton again, I hear Minho shuffling around the room, looking for scented oils, 

My eyes slowly droop closed, my head and limbs feeling heavy, I sink deeper again into the bathtub, my head nearly getting submerged in the water 

I feel minhos hands around my waist pulling me up so my back is against the side off the tub, my eyes flutter open, taking in Minho holding a bowl off scented oil that smelt off honey, he dips his hand into the oil, grabbing my arm, rubbing the oil onto it, my head droops onto my shoulder, my eyes starting to close again, 

I am asleep for most off the time Minho is washing me I wake up again when I feel Minho rubbing my hair with oils, My groan at the feeling, slowly opening my eyes, Minho washes my hair picking up some of the water with a water bowl, putting it over my hair, he washes the oils out off my hair, massaging my head, Minho lifts me up out off the bath, wrapping a white fluffy towel around me, 

He sits me down on the edge off the tub, drying my legs, he dries my torso next, I feel my head turn fuzzy again, my head dropping onto Minhos shoulder 

Minho moves onto drying my arms, my eyes start drooping, 

Minho dries my hair quickly putting my bandage back on, "sungie, stay awake for a bit longer" he says in a quiet voice, I hum, opening my eyes, I lift my head off of Minhos shoulder

Minho walks away bringing over an expensive looking bed clothes, embroidered with gold string, I blush, "i-i can't w-wear that Minho!!" 

I look at it with wide eyes, "Sungie I want you to wear it" He pouts at me 

I look at him, my resolve breaking, "ok ok I'll wear it", 

Minho smirks, making me shiver, he lifts my ankles putting my pants on, holding my hand and pulling me too stand up, I stand up, holding onto Minho

He puts the silk, gold and white bedclothes on me, its so comfortable it slips right onto me so comfortably 

I hold onto Minho as he loosely wraps his arm around my waist, he brings me to a double bed that has silk bed sheets and gold and blue all over the room, 

I see that Minho has also changed into bed clothes 

Oh is this minhos room???

I look at Minho with wide eyes and he smiles at me, pushing me near the bed, I climb onto the bed, getting under the furry blanket, Minho moves into bed with me, wrapping his arms around my waist, bringing me closer to him, I blush, 

Resting my head onto his chest

I don't want to think about what I'm doing, I'm getting to close to him, too attached 

But as Minho strokes my hair, I quickly fall into a deep sleep 

Chapter Text

I wake up slowly to the smell off honey and smoke, my head resting face down on the silk pillow, I yawn rubbing my head against the pillow, feeling the soft breeze from the window washing over me, I hear shuffling from inside the room, I shoot up in the bed, looking around the room 

My sleep filled eyes look over the faces off three animals walking in the bedroom, 

What are they!!? 

My eyes widen as I look at them, one has black fur, and two of them has ginger fur 

They have pink paws and big eyes 

One off the ones that has ginger hair leaps onto the bed and stocks over to me, I move up to the headboard, getting as close as I can, 

My eyes widening even more, the animal coming closer to me, they pounce into my lap, curling in a ball in my lap, there tail wrapping around my arm, i nearly scream in fear buy then my mouth opens in shock feeling the soft tail around my forearm 

I slowly move my hand hovering it above the animal, the animal curls its back up into my hand, making me gasp, I timidly stroke the animals fur, feeling it vibrate against me, making a deep sound, my eyes widen, I stroke the cat again, using both off my hands 

I sit stroking the animal in my lap, cooing at the twitch off its ears 

The other two animals stock over to me, the black one laying down in my lap beside the ginger one, the other ginger one climbs up my arm, laying in a ball on my shoulder 

I feel the warmth off them in my lap and shoulder feeling comforted by the feeling off them, 

I better be able to keep them, they're so cute

I coo, my eyes turning into hearts with how wide I'm smiling,  

I stroke the ones on my lap, I hear the one on my shoulder whine making noises, I chuckle moving to stroke the one on my shoulder as well 

I rub my eyes, getting the sleep out off them, yawning as I stroke the animals, I rub behind the animals ears, kissing the ginger one on my lap, the one on my shoulder whines in my ear, nibbling om my ear, I gasp, lifting the animal off my shoulder putting it on my lap with the two others

I stroke them all, kissing there head, I hear the door open

The door opens relieving two servants enter, holding cleaning supplies and a big metal bowl with wet food in it, the servants eyes widen as they see me on the bed, bowing quickly and going back to there work, they set the bowl down and the animals run off me and run to the bowl, quickly eating from it 

The servants are wearing white robes, with expensive looking sandles, they have short choppy cut hair, wearing a badge that has the emperors servant household symbol on them

The servants quickly go back to there work, cleaning around the room, I stand up off the bed, feeling the silk robe fall my shoulder on one side, I quickly put the robe back on properly feeling the servants look at me 

Ugh this is going to travel around the palace, I can already imagine what they're going to say, "did you know I saw someone in the great Emperor Chambers!!!" 

I roll my eyes at the thought, seeing that Minho had left my sandals by the door, I quickly put them on, feeling embarrassed over the servants eyes following my every movement, I walk over to the door going to open it, I feel something warm and small crash into my legs

I turn around, looking down at the ground seeing a small black cat, I kneel down, smiling, stroking the animal behind the ears, I feel the servants eyes on me again and I blush feeling embarrassed, quietly speaking to the animal, "don't worry I'll come back" I starch behind there ears hearing them make rumbling sounds, I quickly stand up again, walking out off the room feeling sad as I'm leaving them cute animals behind 

Hopefully I'll see them again, I wonder why they're in Minos rooms??

I feel a dull ache building in my temple, I walk around the palace seeing servants and lady's whispering, laughing to each other, I feel there stares watching me, I feel heat move to the top off my cheeks 

Do they know I was in Minhos rooms already, there's no way they could, does news travel that fast, its not like we done anything together 

I don't know why I feel embarrassed, I literally kill people for a living, why do i feel like this? I've only ever felt like this around Eun-ae before 

I quickly walk around the halls, turn some corners and walk into other hallways, I get lost, the hallways getting longer, the more I walk, I see a door covered in jems and gold, my eyes widen looking at it, I see my reflection shining off the gold surface, 

I see a group of four angry men walking towards me, I recognise one off them, shit the guy Eun-ae brought to see me one night is walking among them, speed walking to the door, I see the crest off Florence on all four off the, soilders walking behind and infront off them, 

Eun-ae friend which I learnt later on was called Jeon Haemosu stops me, smiling at me, "oh hi Hannie funny seeing you here!!" His smile widens, "are one off the men your serving in the palace??" 

He grabs onto my shoulder as I scowl opening my mouth to say I'm working with Jeongyeon, he scowls at me, snapping at me, "don't you know your rules!!, you should only speak to your master", he tightens his hold on me forearm, dragging me into the room with him as the other men scowl at me, walking forward 

I scoff, tightening my mouth into a thin line, I kick at Haemosus legs, as he tightens his strong grip around me, I look up seeing the inner core and Minho on the other side off the room, Minho glaring at the man, Minho is wearing a gold robe with jems and a crown on his head, even Hyunjin looks annoyed, I'm not sure if it's at me or the men

Haemosu speaks up saying in a vile voice, "who is this servants master", 

I scowl at him, as I try to break out off his hold, him pulling me close, whispering threatenly into my ear, "I know its your fault Eun-ae is imprisoned"

That's rich, if course its my fault, he doesn't know what I became after I left Eun-ae 

I smile smugly at him, whispering back to him, just as threatenly,  "I know its my fault and maybe you should have let me speak or you would know I'm not a slave anymore, you bitch, watch your fucking back", I whisper to him manically 

Minhos booming voice, reaches the ears off me and the men, "Jeon Haemosu please let go off Jisung, he is not a slave, he is Jeongyeon apprentice, have you heard off her??" 

I see his eyes widen, letting go off me quickly, nearly pushing me backwards, I smirk at him, only he can see my reaction, I wiggle my eyebrows at him and he scowls at me 

I walk over to Minho, seeing his throne shining, made off solid gold, he smiles at me and I hear someone walk up to me, I see Changbin come over, speaking quietly to me, "are you ok Jisung?" I nod, "just a little spooked, I was not expecting someone to just grab me and bring me here", I laugh a little weakly 

He nods, looking sad, saying, "do you wanna come sit with me?" I nod, "thank you", smiling gratefully, well its an act, I was never scared, Haemosu or anyone will never scare me again, Changbin leads me to his own lounge chair made off velvet and sits down, leaving room for me, I sit down beside him, hearing Minho now speak to the men, I see him looking expressionless, his face resting into a glare 

"Hello, Haemosu, I assume your here to talk about Eun-ae?" 

He nods, "Yes we're here to negotiate his release" 

Minho laughs sarcastically, making the people around Haemosu flinch, but Haemosu face remains stotic, "you think I'm going to release him when he attacked one off the people under my roof" he points up vaguely to the roof, smiling manically 

Haemosu speaks In his annoying overconfident voice, Eun-ae must have rubbed off him, "with all due respect Emperor, do you know that this subject under you past is?" 

"I don't care it doesn't give Eun-ae right to hurt one off my subjects" Minho looks angry now

Haemosu, speaks up raising his voice, "Emperor he was a prostitute!!!" 

I flinch, feeling embarrassed as the men around Haemosu turn around to stare disgustingly at me, I hear some people in the inner core gasp, i look over at Hyunjin seeing him looking sad, I wonder why, Changbin sighs rubbing his temple, is he disappointed in me?, I look up at him with big eyes, Changbin expression morphing into sympathy, he wraps his arm around my shoulder in a comforting gesture

Minho stand up, slamming his hands on his throne, "SHUT IT!! HAEMOSU BEFORE I THROW YOU IN WITH HIM!!" 

the men around Haemosu flinch, looking at Minhos feet, Haemosu expression changes to scared for a second but then changes back to stony, 

"I will execute him in the morning and that is final!!, if you want to fight me on this, I will have no problem adding more people to the chopping block" 

The men all bow timidly too Minho, and eventually Haemosu bows to but my mind is still reeling at what Minho said, he's going to execute him???, for me?? 

I look at Minho, seeing his eyes search me, he smiles at me, it almost seems real, but he finally showed his real side today 

His murderous, punishing side, just like Jyp told me about, warned me about, 

Haemosu, speaks, "how are you going to protect a prostitute!!?" 

Minho scowls, "he is not a prostitute anymore", 

Haemosu, "you have no right!! You have no right to execute Eun-ae!!" 

Minho laughs again, "I have no right!!!, I AM THE EMPEROR!!" He looks murderous, storming over to Haemosu 

Minho speaks loudly, "you are disrespecting your emperor!!" 

Haemosu flinches moving away from Minho, 

Minho shouts, "I have every right to execute you too!!!, but seeing as I'm a kind emperor,  I'll give you one more chance to show me the respect I deserve" 

Minho smiles at Haemosu

Haemosu face turns red, speaking nervously, "of course Emperor" 

Minho walks back to his seat, sitting back down Minho waves his hand, "you all may leave now"

All the Florence men leave the room, leaving a deadly silence behind them,

...

Chan pov 

I am still in shock from my new knowledge about Han, I know what Changbin has told me, Jisung was from England and was brought to rome by a Roman officer called Kang Xuin, I have told a servant to get me the documents on all the servants tooken by Xuin from England 19 years ago

I feel nervous watching Minhos facial expressions, I hate how I can never tell what he's really thinking, I cab always tell what Felix thinks or Changbin but never Minho, it throws me off, making me feel a never ending pit in my stomach 

My sister Hannah always told me I worry to much about other people and not about myself, but I have to, I'm Minhos second in command and the oldest it's my responsibility to protect the inner core 

Even though Jeongin gets annoyed at me, saying I put to much pressure on myself, I don't care, they are my family, my friends, my boyfriend, I need to protect them 

I feel Jeongin eyes on me, I turn around searching for his eyes, he smiles at me and I smile back, my eyes turning to crescents and my dimples showing, I watch Minho stand up walking over to Jisung, 

I see Minho holding Jisungs hands, talking quietly to him, I don't know what they're saying but then I see them walking away together, Minho holding Jisungs hand, I stand up, feeling Jeongins eyes follow me, I catch up with Minho, walking on his other side 

I wait for Minho to notice me, his blank expression, turning around to me, except from the red on the top off his ears, he smiles at me, opening his mouth, speaking, "we are going to see Eun-ae, I suggested it, before I execute him tomorrow"

I nod, speaking quietly  "can I come with?" Minho nods, "of course", I see Jisung holding onto Minhos arm, looking nervous, I see people whispering to eachother walking around the palace, 

Oh of course the rumours have started, I raise my eye brows at the people gossiping and I see the ladies, blush giggling as they see me looking at them, I groan internally, smiling at the ladies, seeing Hannah among them, looking disgusted at the other ladies reaction, one off them being Felixs longer sister Olivia, I wave at both Hannah and Olivia, smiling at them, Olivia blushes waving back, looking at me with heart eyes as Hannah pretends to look annoyed, glaring at me, but I see the little twitch off a smile in Hannahs face 

Minho grabs onto my arm, dragging me around, making me walk faster, I see him rolling his eyes at me, speaking gruffly too me, "I don't think you should be flirting with Olivia, Felix would be pissed at you" 

I smile, "Felix loves me too much" looking up at the sky, holding my chest 

Minho, laughs, "don't let Jeongin here you say that, and we all know Yongbok only loves Changbin",

I hear someone making a choked out sound, I assume it's Jisung as Minho turns around worried asking, "Sungie you ok?, are you worried?, we can go back" 

Jisung shakes his head, " no I'm fine, I'm a little worried but I can keep going" 

I see Minho nodding, 

I wonder why Jisung had that reaction, he must be worried, just keeping a brave face, I speak up, "Jisung don't worry, I'll keep Eun-ae from hurting you" 

I see Jisung nod, smiling at me, 

We keep walking for another 15 minutes and then, we go down a dark wet tunnel, I take the keys out off my pocket, opening the door, the guards bow to all off us as we walk to the entrance off Eun-ae cell, I open the cell with my keys again 

Minho walking on next, then Jisung then me, locking the door behind us, 

Eun-ae is lounging on his chair, looking calm even though there are knifes coming out off his arms, I see Jisung expression turn smug for a millisecond and then back too nervous 

Minhos expression turns to venomous, "you are going to be nice as Jisung wants to talk to you: 

I see Jisung smile, narrowing his eyes Eun-ae, Jisung walks over to Eun-ae, kneeling down close to him, whispering to him, I distantly hear what he's saying, "you aren't to........... ....by tomorrow................... to tell anyone,  finally getting.............."

Jisung moves away and I see that Eun-ae face has gone deathly pale, "what do you mean I'm not going to be alive!!!" 

Minho smirks, walking over beside Jisung, speaking closely to Eun-ae, "I'm going to execute you tomorrow" 

Eun-ae face breaks out into panic, "YOU BITCH!!!" I don't know who he's speaking to, he's trying to break free off his roping, his face turning red in anger

Minho walks to me, Jisung following behind, "let's leave Channie", Minho says 

I take my keys out off my pocket, opening the door,  I hear Eun-ae shuffling in his chair, grunting, we walk out the door and I distantly hear, Eun-ae shouting, something about Han being a snake, I roll my eyes, these bastards always judging people for there past 

We walk up the hallways, and Minho walks over to me, "Channie, me and Jisung are going to go to my room, is that ok?" 

I nod, smiling, "of course Minnie", 

Minho slams his hands on my arm in a thankful gesture, walking away with Jisung by his side, 

I walk away, going down the hallways to my study, I open the door to my study, walking into the room and sitting down In my chair, 

I look over the documents on my desk, seeing my servant must have left the document I asked for, 

I look over the document skiming over it looking for Jisungs name, 

I see his name, it says he is 5,  3'1, so what Eun-ae told Changbin was true, 

I write on a peice off paper all I know about Jisung

Full name- Han Jisung 

Age- 19, was 5 when kidnapped 

Height- 5'6- 5'7

Recommended by Jyp 

Is from London and was kidnapped by Kang Xuin, now all I need to do is find Kang Xuin 

Chapter Text

I follow Minho, closely following beside him, feeling new energy buzz underneath my skin after seeing Eun-ae, I have a bitter taste in my mouth, feeling my mind dull underneath the new feelings, my hands and body feeling restless with this new unknown energy 

I grit my teeth seeing people staring at me and Minho walking together, I still feel embarrassed but it is mostly replaced by the tingling in my body, and a feeling of anger in my stomach, Minho grabs onto my hand, making me stumble into his side, the people staring at me quickly looks away, going back to what they were doing, 

Minho walks again, taking me with him, I follow him, having to move faster as I am shorter than him, I see a lady staring at me venomously, looking me up and down, I bite my tongue to stop myself from sneering at her, I move closer to Minho, smiling at the lady, her scowl deepens and she speed walks over to us, "Minho!!!" She whines in a annoying high pitched voice

I roll my eyes, looking at Minho seeing his eyebrows twitch in annoyance, I smirk at the lady, Minho scowls, "Yes Chuyaite?" This Chuyaite woman speaks in a shrill voice, "what are you doing with this man!!! You're with me!!!" She whines 

My eyebrows furrow in confusion, what does she mean with Minho??

Minho sighs, "Chuyaite how many times, we were never dating, my father just wanted us too get married!" Looking visibly annoyed 

What? Wanted to get married 

Chuyaite looks shocked or what I can tell, she then stares at me, looking down at me, screaming at me, "this is your fault!!" She screeches, I flinch at the volume off her voice, sinking into myself, I faux a innocent, scared face, moving closer to Minho, faking a trembling voice, "Wha-what? Miss, I promise I didn't do any-anything" 

Minho glares at Chuyaite, narrowing his eyes at her, wrapping his arms tighter around me, "Chuyaite!! Stop this isn't his fault, it's no one's fault!! I just don't like you!!! It's not anything against you!! " 

Chuyaite looks shocked, her bottom lip trembling, she storms up closer to me, "you will pay!!!" She screeches, banging into my side and walking past me 

I am left in shock at this bizarre interaction 

I feel panic grip me recognising thus feeling 

I see red flashing in my mind, I bite my bottom lip between my teeth, feeling my hands tremble with the feeling of anger, I need to do something before I snap, I've haven't gone this long without some blood on my hands in years 

My mind feels fuzzy with the homicidal thoughts flashing through them, I feel someone take hold off my hands, I chew on my lip, feeling the warmth leave one off my hands, swapping too my lip, taking hold off it and taking it from underneath my tooth 

I feel the pressure off hands on my jaw, slowly bringing me back to myself, the first thing I see is big sharp eyes staring at me, 

The voice of Minho catches my attention, "Sungie you ok? I'm sorry if Chuyaite scared you" 

I remember my cover, sweet and innocent, bunching up my cheeks, looking up at him with big eyes, "I'm fine Minho, she just scared me a bit" 

Minho nods, holding onto my hand, Minho speaks in a soft voice, I have to remind my self who he is, and what he has done, he confuses me with how nice he is, well atleast to me "come on, Sungie I have something I think might cheer you up"

I smile softly, nodding, "ok" I say softly 

Minho tightens his grip on my hand, I walk close to him, feeling my other hand, the one not in minhos hand tremble, I don't know if its from anxiety or my felt over anger, just waiting to bubble over the surface until I am left alone 

I know its my job, how I stay alive, but I don't like killing people, I try to only kill people who deserve it, bad people, but if I'm wrong about Minho and he's actually nice and kind, I would never forgive myself 

I subconsciously tighten my grip on Minhos hand, feeling him in a comforting manner rub his fingers over my palm, 

We finally stop at a door which I recognise as Minhos suite, he opens the door, letting me walk in first in front off him, 

I see a lounge room first with four doors, two on each side, and two doors on the other side facing the other set off doors, I wonder whats behind these doors, but Minho guides me to one that has silver around its outside, 

He opens the door again, for me to see a room that has three mini velvet beds with water bowls and food bowls, 

I see the three animals from this morning, they run over to me and i smile, my eyes widening, I sit down and the animals climb into my lap, I stroke them in a slow, calming manner, I say in an excited voice "these are yours!!?" 

Minho chuckles and I hear him shuffling, moving to sit beside me, one off the ginger ones move onto minhos lap, licking his palm as he strokes behind its mouth, 

I look at Minho seeing that he has a soft smile on his face, realising this is the first time I've ever seen him truly look fully relaxed, I feel warmth enter me, feeling butterflies enter my stomach, 

I say in a soft voice, "what are these?" 

Minho looks up, looking at me with wide eyes, I almost feel bad for disturbing whatever peace he had, "what do you mean?" He raises his eyebrows, making wrinkles show up on his face 

My face turns red in embarrassed, I quietly giggle, "are they dogs?" I ask as I stroke up and down there backs

Minhos eyes widen even more, comically so, "they are called cats" 

I gasp, "oh!! They're so cute", my smile widens, I feel Minho staring at me, I look up catching his eyes on me, he's smiling softly, looking at me, I see red on the top off his ears as he goes back to stroking his cat 

I kiss the two cars on my lap, the cats rumbing through their chests 

Minho smiles, speaking, "they like you, they're purring, that means they're happy" 

My eyes widen, my smile brightening, I  stroke between the cats ears, cooing at them

I stroke the cats, hugging them, feeling one off them lick my hand, travelling down my wrist 

I feel the cats, scratching my forearm, making my face scrunch up in pain, I feel Minho lift up the black cat that scratched me, putting them onto his lap, "are you ok Sungie?" I nod, looking at my arm seeing I drop off blood roll down my arm, I put my hand on the cut, tightening my hold around the cut, making it sting, I go back to stroking the cat in my lap, 

Minho speaks up, "do you wanna move to the sofa?" 

I nod, standing up holding the cat up so two off their legs are on my shoulder 

Minho stands up with me, the two other cats on the ground following him, I walk over, sitting down, sitting cross legged, I relax into my position on the sofa, putting the cat down on my lap, feeling the mental tax off the day catch up with me, I stroke the cat, Minho sitting beside, me feeling the warmth off the cat and Minho enveloping me, 

I lift the cat up, kissing them, I set the cat on the ground, watching it run too the other cats 

I look at Minho seeing that he already was watching me, I smile at him, "thanks for cheering me up" I say gratefully, feeling conflicting emotions build up in me, Minho seems so nice, but what I've heard about him tells the opposite, I don't know what to believe anymore 

Minho smiles, "your welcome Jisungie" 

I smile feeling my hands start to tremble as I'm not doing anything with them, nothing to occupy my mind from one buzzing thought, do I really know the truth about Minho?

Chan POV 

I drink the white wine from my clear glass, I have already drank 2 glasses, feeling the fuzzy feeling in my mind get heavier, I have told my servant to inform a messager that I need to talk to Kang Xuin, all I need to do is to wait for Xuin to get here which could take days for all I know 

I finish off the drink, filling my glass up to the top again, my neck feels sore from how long I have been sitting here, I rub the muscles on my shoulders, wincing at the tension in them, 

The door opens with so much force it crashes against my office wall, I am ready to scold who ever walked in without knocking, but then I see the fancy robes, and hold my tongue, looking up to see who walked in, I see  priest Park joho walk in, staring at the wine on my table, 

Joho walks over to my desk, sitting down on the chair opposite me, I smile, "Hi Joho", Joho smiles back at me, "How are you Bang Chan?", 

I smile widely, "I'm good!! How are you Joho?" 

He smiles, "I'm great Chan", I nod, pointing to the bottle off wine, "do you want a drink?" 

He smiles wider, "Yes thank you Chan" 

I nod, smiling, getting up off my seat and stumbling over to my glass and alcohal cabinet, I stumble over my feet as I walk along the room, opening the cabinet, taking out one glass, "do you want a different type of alcohal?" I hold onto the glass and cabinet, my legs feeling like jelly, the longer I stand there, my head feeling fuzzier more with every second from the alcohal 

Joho speaks up, "just what you were having is perfect" 

I nod, stumbling back over to my desk, I lean onto the table, sitting down, feeling my eyes droop with the alcohal, I don't know why all the alcohal I have consumed is just effecting me now, I pour a drink for Joho, passing it over to him, he takes the drink, sipping on it, 

He hums while swallowing it, "how many of these have you had?" 

I slurr over my words, "2 or 3, it's just taking effect now, though" 

He nods, "They're very strong" 

I nod, resting my head on the palm off my hand, "is there something you need to talk to me about?" 

He nods, "Felix sent me here" 

As soon as I hear his name I feel nervous, I don't know why

That name gets through the fog in my head, "Felix!? Is he ok??" 

The man nods, "he's fine, he just wanted for me to tell you about the things he learnt" 

I nod, "ok, ok, tell me" I say urgently

Joho, speaks, "he infiltrated the division 1 successfully, and he knows who the leader is" 

My eyes widen, "Who?!" 

"Jyp" 

I feel like ice has been dropped over me, "Jyp?" The man nods looking at me, nervously, "are you ok Chan?, you've gone pale" 

I feel a lump in my throat, feeling betrayed, Jyp, he's evil, a criminal, a murder, the lump in my throat grows turning into a rageful feeling in my stomach, 

"Can you leave?" I speak in a weak voice, 

Joho speaks, "Chan, I don't think I should leave you alone, you look pretty upset", 

I feel my eyes water, feeling my head turn heavy, I pick up my drink, that is filled to the brim, downing the whole thing, 

I cough at the burn it leaves, feeling the heat grow in my cheeks from the alcohal, covering my face with my hands, 

Joho grabs onto my hands, making my limbs slump forward with my hands, 

"Chan talk to me, anything you say is safe with me", 

I nod hesitantly, feeling tears fill my eyes, I feel my lips open, moving without my permission,  "Jyp he raised me when I was 13 to 19" 

Joho, tightens his hold on my hands, "oh honey I know things like this is hard, but you always have people to talk to" 

I whimper as tears drip down my face, shaking my head, hearing more foreign words spill out of my mouth, "I can't talk to anyone, I'm suppose to protect people" 

"Chan I'm sure you can talk to people, how about that nice boy Jeongin?" 

My face reddens at the mention of his name, feeling my mind stutter for a response, "uh-uh yeah he is nice" 

Joho smiles at me, picking up his drink and sipping on it, 

I drop my head down into my hands, feeling dizzy with the alcohal, 

I feel Joho stand up, walking around my desk, I look at Joho following him with my eyes, seeing that he is looking for something 

I feel the fuzz in my brain increase, making my head fall off my hands banging against the table, 

I feel a bruise already forming on my chin making me groan, I rest my head on the table, 

Watching joho look around my cabinets?

"What are you doing?" I slurr, 

"I'm looking for a piece of paper" 

I look at him through hooded eyes, "there's a stack on my desk over there" I point to the desk 

He walks over picking up a peice off paper and a pen from the desk, he puts them in front of me 

He puts the pen in my hand, 

"Felix wants you to write to him" 

I chuckle, nodding, feeling dizzy as I shake it 

I start writing, my hand writing is more messy as I am drunk, 

I write 

....................................................................

Dear Felix 

                  I am writing to you because I have just received your news, jyp is the leader now that's a shock, but I suppose you don't know why it's a shock to me, I was raised by him, there I said it, 

The inner core is doing good while your away, Minho I think even though he's never very easy to read emotions wise, has found love!! Can you believe it! With a man called Han Jisung, he is here as Jeongyeon apprentice, he is very nice, but he seems to have a messy past, 

He was kidnapped by Kang Xuin at 5 and then abused by a man called      Eun-ae, I know he was recommended by jyp but I don't think he's a bad person, so I don't think he knows who jyo really is just like I didn't, he's too nice and he seems caring, but I'll research him more, I already am, too protect Minho incase I turn out to be wrong about him

I just haven't seen Minho this happy before, when he is with Han I can just see his happiness radiating off him

From Bang Chan 

....................................................................

I pass the letter to him, forcing my eyes to stay open, he takes the letter form me, bowing to me and walking away

After he has left alone with my thoughts, them running over me, I hear the distant noise off heavy rain, mixing with the emotions in my mind, I feel a gasp leave my mouth, the feelings bubbling up in me 

I remember Jyp, he was so caring to me, kind, how can he be the opposite? A killer, I remember finding it weird that scary people visited him all the time, staring at me creepily when I was in Jyps office, jyp always reasured me when I would question him, saying "I work with alot off people in my line off work, but it's to help people, I work with what do you call it, giving money to people who need it and helping people who are in difficult situations", 

I feel tears fill my eyes at the memory, how could the person that raised me, that was my father figure turn out to be a villain, a murder 

I cry out, tears dripping down my cheeks, I whimper, feeling pain grip my chest, I pour myself more wine, my lip wobbling as more tears fall down my face 

I quickly down the drink, feeling fuzziness come back in full force 

A while later after the storm have passed and I have drank 2 more glasses, the door opens to reveal Jeongin, his face dropping when he sees me

I must look a sight, bloodshot eyes, tear tracks rolling down my cheeks, the heat in my cheeks and the dim look in my eyes 

Jeongin quickly walks over to me, "Channie!! What happened!!" He cries out

More tears leak from my eyes, my lips wobbling, "Innie" I slurr

Jeongin face changes again, "Channie have you been drinking?" 

I nod, holding onto Jeongins hands, I look up at him through wet eyes, "Jyp is evil" I cry, pushing my face into Jeongins stomach 

Jeongin must be confused, I've never mentioned jyp before, he won't even know why I'm sad, but he strokes my hair, pulling me to Stand up, I stumble into him, Innie grabbing me by my waist 

"Come on, let's go to bed Channie, you must be tired, we can talk in the morning" 

I nod, feeling very drowsy all off a sudden, I lean against innie, him leading me the way to me and his room, 

When we finally get to the room, innie sits me down on the bed, I sit down, my eyes feeling heavy, I feel innie taking my outer heavy robes off for me, he then lays me down on the bed, I curl up, hearing the shuffling off clothes falling to the floor, I feel the bed dip down with innie's weight 

I move over hugging innie, he wraps his arms around me, stroking my hair as I fall asleep 

.......

I read the message from Channie

Oh oh no, Han is there, he's trying to kill Minho isn't he?

Chapter Text

I smile feeling my hands start to tremble as I'm not doing anything with them, nothing to occupy my mind from one buzzing thought, do I really know the truth about Minho?

....

Minho speaks in a soft tone, "I can execute Eun-ae tonight it you want, that way less people will know about it and you don't have to watch it" 

I shake my head, playing with the nails on my fingers, picking at them, I speak in a soft voice, feeling my hands start to sweat, "no its fine, I don't mind, you can execute him whenever you want" 

Minho nods, softly smiling at me, 

"Ok, I'll execute him tomorrow" 

He smiles, 

My mind is screaming at me to not trust him, I feel my cheeks heat up as I look at him, feeling him looking my face up and down with an expression I can't recognise, I see his eyes look down, looking at my lips, 

I feel heat move down my neck, making me feel sweaty, I feel uncomfortable in my own bones, my mind is fighting between my survival and desire 

I want to kiss him, I want someone to love me 

wait? I've never felt like that before, even when I felt all alone even with the multiple people I was spending the night with, 

I feel my breath hitch in my throat as I focus on Minho sharp eyes staring at my lips 

I slowly feel my head gravitating towards Minho, I look down at his lips, they look so soft, they are bitten red,

As are lips connect and I finally feel safe, I feel at home

Minho moves his lips against mine, moving his hand so there gripping the hair on the back off my neck, pulling me closer to him, 

I gasp at the sharp feeling, my mouth opening, Minho quickly moving his tongue into my mouth, 

I move my hands to the back off Minhos neck, I move my tongue into his mouth, fighting against his, 

Minho bites the bottom off my lip making me groan, he slips his tongue deeper into my mouth, making me moan softly into his mouth, we finally separates are mouths a line off spit joining us together 

I rub my lips with the back off my hand, rupping the spit off, I look down in embarrassment 

I wonder how I must look, my hair a mess, cheeks flushed, my lips bitten and my eyes dilated 

I feel hands grap onto my jaw moving my head up, 

Finally looking up I meet Minhos eyes, his cheeks are dusted in pink and I see the spit on his lips 

Mihnos speaks up in a soft voice, "you ok Sungie?" He raises an eyebrow 

I nod, feeling like my voice would fail me if I tried to speak, I feel a lump in my throat grow, making me feel out off breath 

My breath hitch, getting stuck in my throat, I feel a cloud move over my head, making me look at Minho with wide eyes, 

I don't know why I'm looking at Minho, he can't help me or more I can't let him help me, shit I need to leave 

I spit out in a quiet, trembling voice, feeling nervous, I've gone to far, I'm sucked in to Minhos spell, I need to stop him, kill him, 

"Minho, uh-uh I mean Emperor! I need to go" 

I quickly stand up, 

I feel my hands trembling, I put them behind my back, bowing quickly, "have a good night",  walking quickly to the door 

I walk down the hallways, feeling winded, all the feeling bubbling around in my head, I like Minho, as in I have a crush in him, he likes me, but I can't, it would never be a possibility, I could never be with him, I'm supposed to kill him, I need to kill him, 

I close my eyes tightly, the image of me and Minho kissing playing over in my head, over and over again 

I walk to my room, opening it, and running to my bed 

I feel warm tears build in my eyes, making me cry out 

I don't know what to do, I've never felt like this for anyone, 

I love Minho 

But I can't 

He's a killer, a bad person 

It's my mission, I need to kill Minho and then I can go back to Yongbok and with the money we could run away, move into a small countryside villa, and just live the rest off my days doing nothing, wallowing in self pity, feeling bad for myself, knowing I'll never find any love 

I burry my head in my pillow, feeling tears drop down my cheeks, 

I can't belive I love someone let alone, The Emperor 

.....

Minho Pov 

I watch silently as Jisung walks away 

Feeling a lump in my throat, Han is the only person that I've ever straight away connected with, he just called me Emperor he has never done that before 

I always feel so lonely as the Emperor, even though I have my friends from the Inner core, I hand picked them, they didn't willing become my friend, let alone a boyfriend or a lover 

It was never awkward with Han, because he saw me as more than a Emperor, the cold hearted, scary Emperor that everyone sees me as, it's not true but I can't do anything to prove them wrong 

I love Han, and he loves me, he showed me that by kissing me, but why did he run away? Was he scared off me? 

I feel a warm body climb up into my lap, sensing my sadness, I quietly stroke Doongie, kissing there head 

I lay down on the sofa, Doongie following me, sitting down on my lap 

I rub at my eyes feeling them get heavy with fatigue, I slowly close my eyes, relaxing into the sofa, I'll sleep these feelings off, hopefully I'll feel better in the morning 

...

I watch silently from beside Jeongyeon, watching as the roman guards drag Gunen into the arena, I look across to Minho from the corner off my eye, seeing him staring straight into the arena, looking like he's following Gunen with his eyes 

The people in the colosseum are cheering, chatting, "release the beast" "release the beast" over and over again 

I feel a lump grow in my throat, I thought he was just going to cut his head off, not an animal eating him 

The guards quickly leave after tying Gunen to a pole by a chain on his neck, 

He's naked, and it looks like sweat is dripping down his back, 

After all the noise, whenever the stadium goes silent I quickly look around seeing that Minho has stood up, 

I hear Minho speak loudly, shouting, "thank you my people for coming here on this fine day!!, we are here to see a animal eat someone to death, this someone is called Gunen and he has terrorised young boys and girls on the streets for years!!!" "Justice is finally coming to him and he's getting what he deserves!!!" 

The people cheer even louder, drumming there feet in suspense 

My eyes widen, Minho is doing all this for me, I feel my cheeks flush and I look back over to the arena, 

The beast has came out and is walking around the pit, sniffing the ground, the ground is mostly silent now, just the odd person cheering or shouting for the beast to kill Gunen 

I look over at Minho, he seems to have some sixth sense for me because not even a second later he meets my eyes, smiling at me, but I see something different underneath his eyes, no I ruined it didn't I?, when I ran away, Wait. No, that's good, it will make it easier when I kill him, 

I slowly smile back, snapping back to the arena when the cheers get louder, 

I see that the beast is closer to Gunen, and Gunen is standing deadly still, I can only see his chest moving up and down, 

What breaks his stillness is he sees me, his eyes widening, a scowl showing on his face, 

I see his mouth opening, looking angry no rageful 

And Then all I see is blood, the blood gushing, shooting from his neck, were the animals bit his neck, blood gruggling from his mouth, 

The blood, everywhere, it reminds me of my mission, my job, J.one the assassin from Division 1 

I feel like my mind has finally clicked, or something has broken in me, 

I can't, I can't do this, I can't kill Minho, I don't want to 

I stand up, storming down the aisles, walking out off the big open door, leaning against the doorway 

I burry my head in my hands, my breath coming out in little gasps, I try to take deep breaths but everytime I think I'm going to finish an inhale, my throat closes off, making me panic, my eyes widen, as I claw at the neck, trying to take gasping breaths, I slowly sink down the wall, sitting down In a ball, 

Tears pool in my eyes, I grip onto my chest trying to will my lungs to work, 

How am I going to not do this?, 

I don't know anything about Minho, but I know I don't want to kill him, I don't think what jyp told me is true, how could the nicest, kindest person I've ever met be evil a ruthless person 

As is roll into a tighter ball, I think,

if I don't do this what will Jyp do to me?

Chapter Text

The longer I lay there in a ball the fuzzier my head feels, I caught my head falling down to my chest dozens off times, but the warm air of the night lolls me to sleep, 

The last thing I remember is the shadow of Minho and Hyunjin?? Walking over to me 

Hyunjin? 

oh, 

That Hyunjin 

....

I am walking closely beside, holding onto one off the mens hands, feeling them tighten there hold on my hands making me wince at the rough feeling off there skin, I can't see, I still have the blindfold on, making me feel nervous, no more than that the dread what awaits me, 

I'm trying to hold my tears in as the last time I cried out I got a big bruise on my face moving from my eyebrow to my cheekbone, the blindfold it rupping against it creating a friction, making sure I can't forget its there, 

I have been hearing weird noises in this house, people screaming, shouting, crying, I flinch everytime I hear it making the people around me laugh at my fright 

The man stops and I hear a noise of a door opening and I am being pushed, I land roughly on my hands and knees, making me gasp, at the burn in my knees, a few tears escape from my eyes, 

I hear the door close again making a screeching sound and I cringe, wincing 

I hear a soft deep voice say, "fai decollare quel povero ragazzo", Get that poor boy of the ground, i feel panic enter me, I don't know what they're saying!, where am i? I feel rough hands grab me from under my armpits, I can't tell if they're the same or different from before

I am being dragged, I feel someone roughly rip my blindfold off making my eyes sting with the new light, I quickly close my eyes groaning 

I feel someone gripping my hair pulling on the strands 

I cry out, opening my eyes, seeing a man, with soft blonde hair and a dark tan looking at me from behind his desk 

The man quickly smiles, "lovely to see you Han Jisung" he says in a strong accent 

I feel dread enter my stomach, 

The mans expression changes after looking away from me, changing livid, "perché hai fatto del male a questo povero ragazzo, idiota", why did you hurt this poor boy, idiots" 

"ti avevo detto di non toccarlo" I told you not to touch him  "nemmeno un capello in test", not a hair on his head 

I feel panic enter me as I watch them talk, seeing the men in the room get visibly scared, this must be the boss?, I quickly look around the room, moving slowly backwards to the door, hoping no one will notice me 

"voi idioti lo avete spaventato!!!" you idiots you have scared him! 

I flinch at his loud voice, looking at him with wide eyes 

"Little boy Han, come over here", he speaks in a accented voice 

I slowly walk over to him, feeling my hands tremble, he grabs onto my arm when I get closer to him, pulling me closer to him, I stumble over my feet, crashing into his chair, my head crashing into the back of the chair 

I feel tears feel my eyes, 

"Han boy you're fine, these men were not supposed to hurt you, I won't hurt you" he speaks to me softly, rubbing the tears off my eyes 

I feel more tears fill my eyes, why is he being so nice to me, the man lifts me up into my lap, making me look up at him, with wide watering eyes 

Tears drop down my face, as I think about my mum, my brother, they're dead because of me and now I don't know were my other siblings are 

The man introduces himself as Kang Xuin, 

I hear the screams start again, making me flinch and whimper, 

The man I know now as Kang Xuin sighs 

Speaking in about angry voice, "Uomini, chiudete quella stronza, portatela qui, può aiutare ad addestrare Jisung", men shut that bitch up, bring the bitch here, he can help train Jisung" I flinch at the mention off my name, Xuin hand coming up to stroke my cheek in a soothing manner 

I bite the inside of cheek, to stop my self from crying, I know tears are filling my eyes, but I cover my eyes with my hands, slouching in my place on his thighs

The men all bow, leaving the room, only two off they remaining, guarding the door, 

The man speaks again, looking down at me, "They're going to bring a boy here, he's around your age, and he'll look after you, help you learn Italian" 

I nod, feeling panic as I speak, 'where is my family?" I feel a lump in my throat as I speak, feeling dread sink down in my stomach like a metal in water, 

The man smiles at me, "don't worry about them, they're not your family anymore" 

Suddenly I forget my panic and I shout out, "what do you mean!?? Where are they!!!" 

Xuin tightens his hold on me, "don't speak to me like that Jisung, or you won't like what I become" 

All the colour leaves my face as I look at him, seeing a manic expression take over his face, 

A sob gets stuck in my throat, The dread in my stomach growing, 

"Han don't be scared, honey I won't hurt you", he rubs my sides, trying to get me to relax, 

I gasp on a sob, tears rolling down my cheeks, 

He squishes my cheeks, "you're so cute Hana" he speaks he a mimic soft voice 

My cheeks burn, hot tears rolling down my face, I bite my bottom lip as I try to hold in a sob, 

I hear the door open, and Xuin tucks my face into his neck, I try to fight against his hold but he keeps a strong hold on the back off my neck 

I feel my tears drip down onto Xuin neck, wetting his clothes 

I hear the men walk in, I hear them grunting, I try to turn my head to look at them but Xuin keeps a tight hold on me 

I hear the vibrations off Xuin speaking, but I can't understand what he's saying 

"ahhh ciao Hyunjin, grazie mille per essere venuto a trovarmi!!, farai da mentore a Han Jisung qui"

Ahhh hello Hyunjin, thank you so much for coming to see me!!!, you're going to be mentoring Han Jisung here 

I hear the boy speak, who I'm assuming Is called "Hyunjin", "sul serio?? che età ha? 3??" 

Seriously?? What age is he? 3!?

he says he a disgusted voice 

"ha 5 anni, sii gentile con lui"

he's five, be nice to him" 

I hear hyunjin? scoff 

Xuin finally let's go off my neck and I turn around, looking Hyunjin up and down

He looks a little bit older than me, a couple of years, he's taller than me, has long hair and big thick lips, 

He's really pretty, I cry out, Hyunjin reminds me of my mum, I don't know why 

I see Hyunjins eyes turn soft, 

"ok capo, porta qui il ragazzo"

ok boss, bring the boy over here

Xuin, stands up, pushing me off his lap

I Stumble onto my feet, 

the man dragging me over to Hyunjin,

Hyunjin speaks in heavy accented English, "I Hyunjin", he points to himself 

I nod, feeling more tears fill my eyes, 

Hyunjin reaches out and holds my hand, I grip onto his hand, 

Hyunjin speaks again, "io e Han andremo"

Xuin nods, "ok tesoro, andate voi due, fate in modo di insegnargli l'italiano" 

ok darling, you 2 go, make sure to teach him Italian 

 Hyunjin nods, bowing to him, and he drags me away walking, mumbling to himself 

"cazzo cazzo cazzo!! Non posso credere che prenderebbe un bambino, quel bastardo"

fuck fuck fuck!! I can't believe he would take a child!!, that bastard!

I bite my nails off the hand not in Hyunjin hold, feeling guilt

If only I have died, or maybe it's better, maybe I deserve to suffer 

Its my fault, my fault My family is dead 

....

I gasp awake, seeing that I'm on Minhos bed, 

I feel arms grab onto me, holding me by my waist and stroking my hair 

"Shhh Sungie, go back to sleep, I'll be here" 

I look at Minho through sleeply waterly eyes, relaxing onto minhos chest 

I have the best night's sleep I've had since I was with Hyunjin 

The same Hyunjin from the Inner core as the one with Xuin 

Chapter Text

Chan wakes up feeling tears stuck to his eyelashes, his head is pounding, he feels someone stroking his hair, massaging his temples 

He groans, rubbing his face against the hands holding him up by his face 

He hears someone softly speak, "Channie are you awake?" 

He groan, slowly squinting his eyes open, he sees Jeongin looking softly at him, innie massages his head, making him groan, he leans onto jeongin, resting his head on his shoulder 

Feeling peaceful in the moment him and Innie just stay in silence, he always loves the moment him and innie just stay together, enjoying eachothers company, 

Jeongin holds his jaw, moving his face so hes facing Innie, he kisses Channie, melting into his lips 

Jeongin speaks quietly into Chans ear, "channie, darling please tell me why you were so upset" 

Chan nods against Jeongin face, feeling anxiety start to bubble up in his stomach as he thinks about the words he needs to say, he owes it to Jeongin, all the things they've done together, all the things they've been through 

Chan speaks up, clearing his dry throat, "ugh- Jyp, my father figure I guess, I just found out is-, ugh he's the Division 1 boss" his voice breaks at the end feeling tears fill his waterline 

Innie looks at him with sympathy, holding onto him tighter and pulling him into a tighter hug, kissing his hair, 

"Channie, I know I don't understand everything that your going through,  but please remember you can always talk to me baby" "everything will be fine" 

He strokes Chans hair, kissing him, 

Chan feels tears bubble in his eyes, rolling down his cheeks, 

Chans gasps, speaking, "I know he's bad, he's a bad person, but I don't think I can condemn him to death, if I expose him, find him, bring him to Minho, we will have to kill him" 

Innie strokes Chans sides, "Hey baby calm down, I promise you, we will work it out in the future, but I'm sure you know we will need to imprison Jyp but maybe if we talk to Minho he could keep him alive" 

Chan cries out, resting his head on Innies shoulder, innie rests his hand on Chans neck, 

Chan gasps, speaking in between shuttering breaths, "in-innie I'm fine i-i just, I fe-feel, I don't know he-he was my father fig-figure I thought he was kind, car-caring" 

Innie lifts Channies head up, kissing him, "Channie baby, shh it's fine, just breathe, just, I'm sorry baby, I know its hard" 

Chan lifts his head kissing along innies jaw, he lifts his trembling hands up to innies neck, holding him, 

Chan speaks, voice trembling with tears, "I don't want to lose you" 

Innie looks at him with wide eyes, feeling a lump build in his throat, 

"Baby of course you won't lose me, why would you think that?" 

Chan shakes his head, feeling more tears fill his eyes, "I'm sorry innie" 

"What? Channie you don't need to be sorry about anything!" 

Chan shakes his head, more tears escaping from his eyes, "I should have known he was bad!!, he-he han- han jisung I think he's working for Jyp, I'm not sure, innie I'm sorry I don't want anyone hurt" chan sobs, the words rushing out off his mouth 

Chapter Text

Chan is sitting in his office, resting his head on his hands, sitting up straight when he hears shuffling behind the door, someone knocks on the door

Chan clears his throat, speaking up, "come in" he calls 

The person opening the door, coming in with two personal guards, 

Chans eyes widen as he sees who it is, he stands up quickly, speaking calmly, smiling, "Hello Kang Xuin, thank you so much for coming here", Chan bows to him 

Chan feels hands slapping his shoulders, "of course Chan", Xuin is smiling at him, 

"Please sit down" chan points to the seat across from him 

Xuin smiles, sitting down, "so what did you want to talk about Chan?" 

Chan smiles, "getting right to the point? Aren't we" Chan wiggles his eyebrows smiling, 

Xuin laughs, smiling, "sorry, Channie, how are you?" He smiles brightly, laughing to himself 

Chan smile brightens his dimples deepening, "I'm great, how are you?" 

Xuin smiles, "I'm good, now can we get to business?" 

Chan smiles, "of course, so I brought you here-- 

Chan picks up a folder, opening the first page to a picture of Han jisung 

"Do you know where Han jisung gone after he left you?" 

Xuin, smile twitches down into a frown

"You want to speak about him?" He says in a bitter voice 

Chan looks confused, "did you two leave on bad terms?" 

Xuin shakes his head, smiling bitterly, "Yes that whore killed some off my best men!" He says aggressively 

"He even killed one off his brothers!!, he's heartless" 

Chans eyes widen, "what?, he killed his brother?" 

Xuin sighs Speaking, "he had some mental breakdown over meeting his younger sister, saying she was in bad condition, how he was well behaved, even though he was only good because he was scared of Hyunjin, his mentor and killed the guards with her, one was his brother" 

Chan facial expression hardens, Hyunjin? Jisung is the boy Hyunjin talks about, did he recognise Jisung?

Chan, sees Xuin eyes change at the way Chans face changed at the new information 

Chan forces a bright smile out again, forcing his voice to be overly calm again, "do you know were Han went after he left?" 

Xuin, speaks smugly, "he was on the streets for months, I had some off my men watching him from afar, he stole food and ate rubbish from the street if he couldn't, then he got picked up from some sicko, don't know his name,  don't care enough to it" he scoffs 

Chan smiles, forcing his eyes to turn into crescents, humming, gritting his teeth, "do you know his job with Division 1" 

Xuin smile brightens, eyes glistening, raising an eyebrow, "I hear he's in the castle, Han Jisung, an apprentice for the amazing strong Jeongyeon, I also hear he's sticking tight to our Emperor Lee Minho, sticking to him like a parasite, hoping to stuck the life out off him", xuin smile widens, looking painful by how wide his eyes look, 

Chan smile fades the blood leaving his face, "Xuin-sii, thank you so much" he spits out over the growing lump in his throat 

Xuin smiles smuggly, "the pleasure was mine Channie, so amazing to finally meet the second hand man to our great Emperor, give Hyunjin my greetings", he smiles showing all his teeth like a shark 

Xuin shakes Chans hand, walking away with the guards trailing behind him 

Chan quickly walks out the room, walking so fast he might as well be running, to Minhos room 

I need to tell him 

Hans trying to kill him 

Chapter Text

Felix walk down the streets, rain spitting from the sky seeing the wall off the palace come into view, the smell off ash from the torches, 

He slowly moves his hood down from around his head, as he walks closer to the check point, the guards see Felix, nodding at him and opening the gate for him

He nods too them as he passes by them, Felix enters the courtyard seeing the fountains, flowers, grass and trees, getting hit with the smell off greenery and fresh grass, he walks down the path, opening a side door, 

He doesn't know who to talk to, does he talk to Channie? No he can't, I'm worried about him, saying that he was raised by Jyp in the letter, I don't want to make him have to worry about something else, 

But he needs to tell someone, he speeds up, walking over to the quarter off the palace for the inner core, taking the key out off his pocket, opening the door 

Another thing I'm worrying about is how is Jisung going to react to me being in the inner core, I know the things jyp has told him, all the lies about us, jyp poisoning his mind with lies, and vicious words 

He could of changed his mind, seeing how nice they are but I really doubt that 

He closes the door, quickly putting his key back into my pocket, he walks to the fourth door, opening it, seeing the man off the room, sleeping peacefully on his bed, he feels bad that hes going to be waking him up, disturbing his peace, Felix slowly walks over, silently as he can, tiptoeing to wake him up

Felix sees the light from the moon making the shadows and edges of his face stand out more, the blanket has moved down too half way down his waist, the bulging outlines off his biceps hugging around the pillow, Felix feels heat build up on his cheeks as his eyes travel over his body, the moon hitting his body perfectly, showing off all his muscles, 

I am too focused on looking over his body I don't notice when he finally wakes up, eyes opening a small amount, the moon reflecting off them, Felix realises too late, when he finally does he already has me thrown onto the bed and my hands behind my back, shoving me onto the bed deeper, pushing me face down 

Felix groans at the pressure on his upper half, I speak urgently, "Changbin!! Changbin!! It's me Felix!!" Felix says  whispering 

He quickly removes his hands, lifting me so I'm sitting up on the bed 

Felix sees his eyes widen traveling all over my face, "Felix! I thought you were still on your mission" 

 Felix looks at him with wide eyes, feeling conflicting emotions build up in me, I became friends with "the enemy" or I guess Jisung but he doesn't know that yet , if he tells Changbin he doesn't know how he'll react, 

Changbin holds Felixs hands, indulfing them in his big warm hands, speaking in a soft voice, "are you ok lixie?" 

Felix nods trying to relax against the bed, feeling nervous, he speaks hesitantly, "I'm going to tell you something but I need you to stay calm, ok?!" 

Changbin nods, looking at Felix curiously, "ok I'll try not to freak out, but tell me I'm starting to worry Lix" he raises his eyebrow playfully at him

Felix nods, feeling nervousness grow in his stomach, tightening his hold around Changins hands, readying myself for any reaction, 

"I-i uh Han Jisung? You know him? Right?" Felix speaks quietly, sucking in a breath, 

Changbin nods, "Yes yes of course I know him Lixie" 

Felix feels my stomach flip in anxiety, "he's trying to kill Minho", I say so quickly I'm not sure Changbin heard me, Felix quickly looks down at his lap, not wanting to face Changbins reaction 

He hears Changbins breath hitch, tightening his hold on Felixs hands almost turning painfull, "how do you know this?" Felix hears his voice tremble, He's not sure if it's from anger or fear, he doesn't think he wants to know 

Felixs voice starts to tremble as he speaks, "uh when I was in-infiltrating Division 1 I got close to Han, he said he-he was leav-leaving to kill a rich family, but-but then I wrote a let-letter to Chan be-because I found out-out Jyp, he's the lead-leader of Division 1 an-and in his letter back to me-me he mentioned H-han, that han is here, I think its to kill Minho" 

Tears are bubbling in his eyes the longer Felix speaks, and he look up catching Changbins expression, 

Felix heart sinks, he looks more angry than I've ever seen him before making his breath hitch in his throat, 

Felis stutters out his words, "Changbin I'm so sorry", "I didn't know what he was doing" 

Changbins eyes stare into my soul, looking at me with no expression, "so Han is an assassin?!" 

Felix nods looking at him with watering eyes 

"He wants to kill Minho?" Changbin says in an angry tone, he's not shouting, but he sounds so angry, its making Felixs  heart pound in his chest 

Felix nods, looking down, tears dripping down his cheeks, felix feels a mixture of shame and sadness, he doesn't want Han to kill Minho, of course he doesn't, I love Minho, he took Felix in When he needed it most, so did Chan, but Felix also loves Han, he's been through so much, he doesn't know any better, Han has learnt to live by protecting himself and only himself, I'm going to protect him too now, he's my best friend felix has too, it's his responsibility, he has too 

Felix feels Changbin get off the bed, quickly trying to move to the door, 

Felix grabs onto his arm, "Binnie, you can't leave" Felix looks at him with determined eyes 

Changbin scowls, "I have to leave!!, Minho is in danger!!!" He begs 

Felix shakes his head, "your going to hurt Jisung, I can't let you do that" 

Changbin looks at Felix shocked, than his expression turns angry, he's not hiding his raw feelings from Felix anymore, shit hes pissed 

"What do you mean!!! Your just going to let Minho be with a threat!!!! A DANGER TO HIS LIFE!!!" He shouts grabbing onto my wrists and pulling Felix to Stand with him, 

Felix wrists Hurt, feeling bruises already form, he speak up, trying to keep his voice steady, "I became friends with Jisung, you can't hurt him", Felix says in a determined voice 

Changbin scoffs, "so your just going to let Minho get hurt" he says in a angry tone 

Felix sighs, his face turning into a scowl, "you don't know anything about Jisung!! He's a good person!!, we can change his mind!! We can stop him from hurting Minho we don't need to hurt or kill Han!!" Felix cries out 

Changbin tightens his hold on my wrists, "Lixie your not in your right mind to make a choice about these things", he says in a stern voice, 

Felix tried to release Changbins hold around his wrists, making him tighten them even more, Felix winces at the feeling off pins and needles in my hands from the tight hold 

"I am in my right mind!!! I know Han!! I know him more than you!!" 

"And fucking bring up how I'm being manipulated by him Changbin!!, I won't be tricked by people anymore, I know when you met me I was struggling but I'm not anymore!!" Felix feels his his body tremble with rage

Changbin frowns, "so your going to sacrifice Minhos safety!!? And I'm not sure if you have learnt anything Yongbok!!" He shouts 

Felix looks at him with wide eyes, feeling trapped, "no!! No I never said that Bin!!, stop twisting my words!!" He feels dread enter his stomach, why isn't Changbin listening to me!! 

Changbin sighs again, "well saying that you want to protect the enemy is betraying Minho" 

Felix can't betray Minho, he saved him, but he can't betray Han either 

Felix squirms in Changbins hold, his voice turning higher pitched the more desperate Felix gets, "Binnie stop!! Your not listening to me!!!, Han is not the enemy!!, he's a victim, we just need to talk to him and he'll understand!!" 

Changbin shakes his head, sighing while he does it, making Felix feel like a child getting told off by there parents, Felix whimpers, feeling tears fill his eyes 

"Your not hearing yourself Lixie, we need to protect Minho, he's our Emperor, he hand picked us to help and protect him, I'm starting to think he made the wrong choice with you" he says in a condescending tone 

Felix feels tears drip down his cheeks, feeling the weight off Changbins disappointed drop onto his shoulders making his tremble tenfold not in anger but in sadness, 

"Changbin please listen to me, Han he has problems, past troubles, he doesn't know any better, Jyp is manipulating him!!, he's a good person!!, i know he is!!" Felix cries out, feeling his hands turn numb in Changbins hold 

Changbin scowl deepens, making lines on his face appear, Felix almost wishes he could reach over and smooth the lines with his hands 

He feels desperate trying to get Changbin to see reason, its not working, Felix feels defeated, He needs to stop Changbin 

Changbin looks at Felix, making Felix feel small under his glare, he feels tears drip down his face, but Felix promised, he promised myself he would protect Han no matter what, 

Felix kicks Changbins legs out from under him, watching as he falls to the ground, Felix feels tears fall down his face 

Felix sees rage lick in Changbins eyes, making Felixs face turn pale, Felix kicks his stomach 

He feels horrible but He has to do this Changbin wants to hurt even kill a innocent person, its Felixs responsibility to stop him, and then he promises he'll find Han and talk to him 

Felix lifts his foot up off Changbins stomach going to stump his foot back down 

Changbin grabs onto Felixs ankle, bending his foot so he loses his balance, Felix falls down onto the floor, only just saving himself from his head banging onto the floor by pushing his hands out to catch his fall 

Felix feels a heavy weight roll onto his back keeping him on the floor, 

The oxygen gets pushed out of Felixs lungs making him cough and choke, Felix cries out in pain, gasping for air, Felix moves his hands grabbing onto Changbins neck, 

Felix feels Changbins pulse beneath his hands, tightening his hands around Changins neck, feeling Changbin grab onto Felixs wrists making him groan out in pain, 

Changbin wraps his hands around Felixs wrists pulling him up onto his knees 

Felix coughs as the oxygen rushes back into his lungs, feeling more tears fill his eyes 

Changbin walks in front off Felix, holding onto his wrists, pulling Felix over his shoulder

Felix bangs his hands against Changbins chest, hitting him, gasping, crying out feeling tears grip down his face onto Changbins shoulder, sliding off Changbins skin

Changbin keeps Felix still on his shoulder by wrapping his arm around Felix waist, Felix hits his chest, hearing Changbin groan at Felix hits, Felix squirms in Changbins hold, trying to get free 

Changbin walks down the hallways, Felix feels him stop, assuming he's opening a door, Felix is proved right when he hears the squeak off a door opening, Felix lifts his head up seeing Hyunjin and Seungmin relaxed, fast asleep in bed together 

They'll help him, he knows they will 

Felix only half relaxs against Changbins shoulder, hearing Changbin shout roughly, "Seungmin!! Hyunjin!! Wake up!!" 

Felix hears Hyunjin shuffling in the blanket on his bed, "Changbin!! What are you doing here" he groans 

Felix look up, catching Hyunjins eyes 

Hyunjin raises his eyebrows, "and why are you carrying Yongbok?" 

Felix opens his mouth to speak, getting interrupted by Changbin, Changbin speaks in an angry tone, "Felix just told me Han is trying to kill Minho, and Felix is still trying to protect Han", 

Felix look up bitting his lip nervously hearing Seungmin and Hyunjin gasp, Seungmin finally sits up, narrowing his eyes at him and Changbin

Changbin scoffs, "I just wanted to drop Felix off here so he doesn't try to stop me", he walks over to the bed, throwing Felix on top off it, making him land inbetween Hyunjin and Seungmin 

Seungmin speaks up, "wait wait Changbin what do you mean? Slow down maybe we should listen to Felix, do you know why he wants to protect Jisung?" 

While Seungmin is speaking Hyunjin cups Felixs face, Hyunjin eyes widen as he sees Felixs bloodshot eyes from crying, Felix moves closer to Hyunjin 

Hyunjin strokes Felix hair, looking at him sadly, 

Felix distantly hears Changbin answering saying, "he wants to protect Han because Yongbok is being manipulated by him, he thinks Hans a good person, and we all know he vulnerable too things like that" he can hear by his tone he's rolling his eyes 

Felix hears Seungmin stand up walking over to Changbin, 

Felix feels tears rolling down his cheeks 

Hyunjin strokes Felix hair moving his head so he's resting Felixs head on his lap, 

Felix hears Seungmin speak sternly, "Changbin I don't know what's going on with you but you need to calm down, and since when did you hate Han, you were the nicest to him, so listen to Yongbok"

Changbin scoffs, "did you not hear me!!, Han is going to kill Minho!!!" 

Felix hears Seungmin shake his head, groaning, "if Felix thinks Han is a good person then he is!" 

Felixs eyes widen, he knows he said he knew Seungmin and Hyunjin would help me but it still shocks him, hearing Seungmin protecting him 

Felix hears Changbin shout, "you're just as blind as he is!!!" 

Felix feels Hyunjin shuffling, kissing the top off his head, moving Felix to lie down, Felix curls up, feeling more tears fall down his face as all the things Changbin has said play over and over in his head, Hyunjin moves off the bed joining Seungmin 

Hyunjin speaks softly, "Changbin I don't think you were listening, whatever fight you and Yongbok had you need to calm down, breathe, and talk to Lixie again" 

Felix hears more shuffling and he feels the bed dip around him, looking up he sees Seungmin, Hyunjin and Changbin looking at him

Seungmin and Hyunjin smile softly at Felix, but Changbin still looks angry making him frown my heart dropping 

Hyunjin cups his face, "Lixie tell us why you say Han is a good person, I promise we'll listen to you", he side eyes Changbin giving him a dirty look 

Felix feel his bottom lip wobble, his eyes filling with more tears, Felix say in a quiet voice, "Han he is being manipulated by Jyp, the leader off Division 1, he think Minho is evil, Han only kills evil people, if we tell him the truth he won't kill Minho", 

Hyunjin nods, humming, "ok Lixie we believe you" "No one here wants to kill Jisung" 

Felix nods, hearing Changbin scoff, he goes to get up but Seungmin pulls him back down 

Changbin was always so nice to me, why Is he acting like this? I thought he would believe me , Felix feels  tears run down his face, 

Hyunjin looks at Felix softly, stroking his hair, "Lixie, go to sleep I promise me and Seungmin will keep an eye on Changbin" 

Felix shake my head, rubbing my face to get the tears off, "we need to tell Minho, to warn him" 

Hyunjin nods, "ok but honey I think it can wait till this morning" Felix nods sleepily, sinking down into the bed, the beds in the Inn that me and Han stayed in were so uncomfortable, this feels so soft and comfortable compared, Felix rests his head on the pillow, he slowly falls asleep to the feeling off Hyunjin massaging his head 

.....

Felix wakes up slowly, feeling an arm, curl around his waist looking up to see who it is, seeing Changbins relaxed, sleeping face 

He rolls backwards getting blocked by the sleeping figure of Hyunjin 

Felix feels Changbin grab tighter onto Felixs waist pulling him back over to him in his sleep 

Felix rests his head on changbins shoulder, feeling his breath choke up in his throat as he remembers all the things Changbin said to him, feeling his face heat up with sadness, he thought he and Changbin had a good relationship, Felix even thought he liked him that we might have became boyfriend and boyfriend but now he doesn't know how Changbin will ever like him again, Felix heart sinks to his stomach, He feels terrible, 

Felix knows he needs to protect Han, but Minho he saved me, he saved all of this, if Felix sides with Han, he is  betraying him, even if he never ment to 

Felix sighs sitting up, feeling Changbins arm fall from around his waist, he stands up, walking silently to the door, I need to get to Han and Minho 

Felix turns around abruptly hearing people shuffling in the bed, he looks over seeing Changbin and Hyunjin have woken up  

Changbin squints his eyes at him, "where were you going Yongbok?" 

Felix feels red grow up his neck as Changbin speaks, "uh i-i was uh" he is looking behind him pointing out the door

Changbin stands up coming to stand in front off Felix, Felix distantly sees from the corner of his eyes that Hyunjin is waking up Seungmin and they are both starting to sit up

Changbin speaks coldly to Felix, "you were going to Minho and Han?, weren't you?" 

Felix feels chills move up his nerves as this new tone for Changbin to take with him, Felix doesn't know how to react, he feels stuck, his mouth turning dry, Felix looks down at the ground, feeling knots tighten in his stomach, He speaks in a quiet voice, "uh yeah, I was, I guess now we can all go, if you want?", 

Changbin smiles mockingly unlike the usual smile he gives Felix, the kind sweet always ready to protect Felix from everything, well maybe that's what he's still doing, protecting Felix from himself, or as so Changbin believes

Hyunjin and Seungmin finally stands up walking over to stand with Changbin and Felix, 

Changbin speaks to them in a gruff tone, "we're going to warn Minho, you can come if you want, but we're leaving now", 

Changbin grabs onto Felixs forearm, Changbin tightens his grip to bruising, dragging Felix along with him down the hallway, Felix hears Seungmin and Hyunjin walking behind them 

Felix bites his bottom lip, feeling tears fill his eyes 

Changbin walks quicker making Felix trip over his feet with how quick Changbin is making him move 

Changbin sees the hallway leading to Minhos suite, tightening his grip even more on Felixs forearm, even in Changbins mind he doesn't know what he's doing, he liked Han, he loves Felix, but Minho is his Emperor, his friend, he doesn't know who to choose 

Felix, sees out of the corner of his eyes, Chan running beside them, but slowing down as soon as he sees Felix, Changbin, Hyunjin and Seungmin 

Chan speaks quickly sounding worried and out of breath, gasping in between words, "Felix? Changbin what are you guys doing here" 

Changbin speaks, "Han is trying to kill Minho!!" 

Chans expression hardens, "Yes ok I know I was just going to tell Minho"

We all start walking again, Chan moving to walk on the other side of Felix, looking at him with sympathy 

.....

Han wakes up slowly, feeling hands stroking his hair, massaging his temples, he also feels a warm heavy weight on his lap, feeling a soft breath faning over his face, opening his eyes, to look around the room, 

He meets Minhos eyes, seeing Minho softly smile, 

Jisung Smiles back, looking down at his lap seeing one off the cats curling up on his lap, resting there head on his lower stomach, 

Jisung smiles, feeling warm and fuzzy surrounded by cats, silk bedsheets and 

Minho, Kind Minho 

Han looks back over to Minho, seeing that Minho has been looking over him with a fond smile on his face, his top ears dusted with red, 

Jisung smiles, feeling his cheeks turn red as he makes eye contact with Minho, 

Minho reaches over to Jisung and Jisungs heart skips a beat, feeling butterflies fill his stomach as he sees Minho face, close up very close up, seeing his long eyelashes flutter against his sharp cheekbones as he moves his hand across Jisungs body to stroke the cat on Jisungs lap, 

Jisung breath stutters in his throat as his eyes move to Minhos lips, 

Jisungs eyes follow Minhos arms seeing the veins bulge out of Minhos forearm as he strokes the cat behind there ears 

Minhos head moves up, catching Jisungs eyes, seeing that Jisung has been looking at him 

Minhos cheekbones get dusted with a light pink colour as he looks in Jisungs eyes 

Jisungs cheeks turn pink when Minho meets his eyes 

Minhos eyes look down at Jisungs lips, 

Jisungs breath hitches in his throat, as his throat grows tight and heat grows up his neck, Jisung brings trembling hands and holds onto Minhos shirt, Minho ears turn a brighter pink colour as he slowly wraps his arms around Jisung shoulders, bringing Jisung closer to him and quickly kissing Jisung, sucking into Jisungs mouth 

Jisung holds tighter onto Minhos shirt, whimpering into Minhos mouth as Minho fits his tongue into Jisungs mouth, curling his tongue into Jisungs mouth

Minhos pulls Jisungs head closer to him, grabbing Jisung by the back of his nape, 

Jisung separates him and Minhos mouth, panting into Minhos mouth, 

Minho rubs along Jisungs neck, speaking softly to Jisung, "you ok Sungie?" 

Jisung nods, relaxing into Minhos hold as Minho wraps his arms around Jisungs waist, 

Jisung feels a guilty feeling fill him, replacing the warm fuzzy feeling making him feel cold and horrible, choking up on his feelings 

Jisung looks down, feeling Minho tightly grip onto his jaw,  holding onto Jisungs cheeks 

Jisung feels the cold over take his body, feeling his bottom lip wobble, 

I feel horrible, I feel like a fraud, Minho have treated me so nicely, been amazing to me and I still have to kill him or at least wanted to kill him 

I have to tell him, I feel a lump build in my throat, as I choke on a breath, feeling Minho lift my head up as the first tear finally falls 

Minho looks at me worried only intensifying the guilt I feel, making more tears fall from me like an overflowing fountain, 

Minho speaks softly like he's speaking to a scared animal, "Jagi are you ok? Tell me what's wrong" 

Jisung shakes his head feeling like led is traveling up his throat, blocking his throat, 

Jisung moves his trembling hands from Minhos shoulders to the back off Minhos neck, 

Jisung eyes fill with more tears as he moves to kiss Minho one last time 

Jisung feels Minhos breath hitch in his throat, as he tightens his hold on Jisungs jaw, moving Jisung away from his mouth, 

Minho speaks quietly taking deep breaths inbetween his words, "Hey Jagi speak to me, I don't want you kissing me when crying", Minho chuckles at the end of the sentence trying to lighten the mood 

Jisung makes a frustrated sound in the back off his throat, as he moves his hands from around the back of Minhos neck, 

Minho rests out his hands for Jisung to hold and Jisung grabs onto Minhos hands, feeling more tears drip from his eyes 

Jisung feels a dread settle in the pit of his stomach, as he stutters out his word, "Minho, i-i need to t-tell you some-something" his voice turns quiet at the end 

Minho nods, smiling reassuringly at Jisung, tightening his grip on Jisung hands to feel comforted, but it has the opposite effect on Jisung, he just feels trapped, Minho speaks softly, "of course jagi tell me anything" 

Jisung vision turns blurry as more tears fall down his cheeks, he gasps out a breath, he feels like his lungs are collapsing in on him as he rushes out his words 

"Minho, i-im so sorry" he chokes on a sob, wiping the tears off his cheeks as he watches Minhos facial expression changes to worried 

Minho speaks in a worried voice, his eyebrows furrowing creating a wrinkle between his brows, "jagiya please tell me, I'm starting to worry" 

Jisung wipes his eyes again on his sleeve, wiping his nose, "Minho, i-i I'm a-an assassin" 

Jisung feels more tears fill his eyes as he looks down not being able to face looking at Minho 

Jisung feels cold wash over him as Minho still hasn't replied  to scared to look up to see Minhos expression 

Jisung stutters, wiping the tears pooling out of his eyes, "Min-Minho I'm s-so sorry" 

Jisung starts speaking quickly gasping inbetween sentences as he tightens his hold on Minhos hands, "i-i the leader o-of Di-division one to-told you we-were evil, tha-that you hurt in-innocent people!!, I'm so-sorry", 

Jisung finally looks up, seeing the blank expression of Minho, Minhos jaw clenched, 

Jisung gasps over the lump on his throat, more tears falling over his face, 

They sit in cold silence for a while the only sound the sniffles and sobs off Jisung as he cries into his hands, 

Jisung speaks again sobbing inbetween words, "Minho please speak to me!!" 

Minho speaks up, sounding too calm for what Jisung has just said, " I don't know what to say Jisung" "you're not still trying to kill me?" 

Jisung shoots up straighter, shaking his head, "no no of course not!!! I would never!!" He speak quickly his words stuttering together 

Minho nods, he can tell by Hans reaction to what he said, that he won't hurt him, Han wouldn't be able hurt him even if he wanted to 

"Just don't cry anymore, ok?" He wipes the tears off Jisungs cheeks 

Jisung nods feeling like he's in a daze, 

Jisung rests his head on Minhos shoulder, feeling Minho wrap his arms around his waist, 

More tears escape from his eyes as he tucks his face into Minhos neck, whispering apologies to Minho

Minho lifts Jisung closer onto his lap, wrapping his hands tighter around Jisungs waist, Jisung moves closer to Minhos neck, feeling Minho stroke his hand up and down Jisung hair

Jisung wraps his arms around Minhos shoulders, sniffling into Minhos neck, 

Jisung hears the door open and he whips his head around immediately, looking around seeing Changbin, Hyunjin, Seungmin, Chan and Yongbok 

What?

What is Yongbok doing here?

Jisung looks between Yongbok and the rest of the members with wide eyes, catching Changbins angry expression 

Jisung bottom lip wobbles as he looks at Changbin, 

Changbin speaks up, "Minho! Han here is an assassin!!, he's here to kill you!!" He speaks angrily 

Chan is standing beside Changbin looking flushed, and opening his mouth in shock of Changbin tone, hovering his hands over Changbins shoulders, looking nervous as he looks inbetween Minho, Changbin and Yongbok 

Jisung flinches at Changbins tone, feeling his cheeks turn red at Changbins, Hyunjins and Seungmins stare, he feels Minho tighten his hold on Jisungs waist, 

Minho speaks in a calm voice, "Changbin I know, Jisung just told me" 

Changbin looks angry, his face turning red and the muscles on his face tightening, "what do you mean you know!!? Why is he still here then?" 

Chan looks even more nervous as he watches Minhos reaction, Chans face turning pale as he holds onto Changbins arm 

Minho smiles softly, but as Jisung looks back, looking at Minhos face, he sees that Minhos eyes look dead, oh he's trying to protect Jisung? 

"Changbin it's fine, I know Jisung won't hurt me, he won't hurt us" 

Changbin walks closer to us, he has no expression on his face, only this scary one, that looks like his eyes are duller, 

I see Yongbok and Chan walk closer too, holding onto Changbin forearm, holding him back, 

Yongbok smiles at me, "hi Hannie" 

Jisung smiles hesitantly at Yongbok, "hi Yongbok" 

Minho looks between me and Yongbok, "you two know eachother?" 

Yongbok nods, "yeah Han was my roommate in Division 1" 

Minho nods, tightening his hold on Jisungs waist, 

Jisung, looks at Yongbok confused, but too nervous to talk in front off everyone, Jisung whispers into Mihnos ear, "is Yongbok in the inner core?" 

Minho nods against my lips, "Yes he is" 

Jisung nods, relaxing into Minhos lap as Minhos turns him around so his back is to Minhos front, 

Yongbok is sitting infront off Jisung, smiling his bright sunshine smile, "I missed you Hannie" Yongbok says happily 

Jisung smiles, hugging Yongbok, whispering into his ear, "I missed you too Yongbok" 

Yongbok smiles at Jisung hugging him back tighter 

Jisung feels Minho tighten his hold on his waist, and Jisung smiles pulling away from Yongbok, sinking back into Minhos lap

Jisung looks up, looking at Hyunjin and Seungmin seeing them smiling at him and Minho, making Jisungs neck turn red, 

Jisung looks over at Yongok and Changbin seeing that Chan has left and is now standing by the door as Jeongin walks in, hugging Chan as Chan hugs him back, Jeongin wrapping his arms around Chans waist 

Yongbok and Changbin look like there talking, Changbins angry cold expression starting to crack and soften the longer he talks to Yongbok 

Jisung feels Minho rest his head on Jisungs inner shoulder, making Jisung sink deeper into Minhos chest 

Chapter Text

Minho told the inner core to leave the room awhile ago, he has been holding onto Han, as Han plays with Dori in his lap as Minho massages Jisungs sides, 

Jisung has been feeling sleepy ever since his confession, every so often his head will fall onto Minhos shoulder, his neck going limp but he opens his eyes, stroking the cat back, and Minho isn't helping as he tries to fight off his sleep, messaging all over his body and stroking his hair, also the warmth of Minho himself, lulling him to sleep, 

Jisung feels his eyes close as Minho plays with his hair, Jisung slowly falls asleep, feeling his mind slow down in Minhos hold

......

Jisung head is resting on Minhos shoulder as he hears Minho speak over the fuzz in his head, "Jagi, jagiya wake up" 

Jisung slowly opens his eyes feeling that the cat has moved up to rest on his chest and he's laying down with Minhos hand around his waist, the sun peeking through the window 

Jisung groans, closing his eyes tightly, snuggling into Minho, 

Minho smiles at Jisung, speaking to him, "Jagiya I need to tell you something honey" 

Jisung, nods groggily, speaking slowly, yawning, "ok Minho?" 

Minho sighs, "I knew you were an assassin" Jisung eyes widen and he sits up, the cat leaping off his chest onto the floor, covering his eyes as the sun, shadows around his head

Minho speaks up again, "when I was 18 I gone to see Division 1 for a day, I never got to see the leader but I was some off the members and I remembered seeing you, I didn't recognise you at first but when Eun-ae came I remembered you" 

Jisung looks at Minho shocked, "you still looked after me, you helped my head heal when you knew who I was, why would you do that?" 

Minho smiles softly at Jisung, "I knew you wouldn't hurt me, even if you did try to hurt me, remember I'm the Emperor, I know how to fight" Minhos eyes practically sparkle as he looks at Jisung 

Jisung, looks at Minho, smiling at him, Jisung speaks softly, "thank you Minho", 

 Minhos smiles leaning down to kiss Jisung, cupping Jisungs jaw with his hands, kissing him, Jisung kisses back, pulling himself to sit in Minhos lap, as Minhos hands move from his waist to his hips, 

Jisung kisses into Minhos mouth, feeling Minho sink his tongue into Jisung mouth, as Jisung fights against Minhos tongue with his, biting Minhos bottom lip, feeling Jisungs cheeks get hot as he feels Minhos hands move down his hips to his ass, squeezing his ass

Jisung moans into Minhos mouth as Minho bites Jisungs lips, forcing his mouth open more, to move his tongue around Jisungs mouth, 

Jisung separates there mouths panting into Minhos mouth as Minho travels his mouth down Jisungs neck, sucking and biting at a sensitive point off Jisungs neck,

Jisung moans, at the pain and pressure on his neck, Minho kisses Jisungs neck, kissing over the bite marks and bruises that are already forming over Jisungs neck 

Minho moves his hands from Jisungs ass to his shoulders, moving one off the robes off his shoulders, Jisungs shivers at Minhos touch feeling Minhos hot lips suck onto Jisung collarbone, shoulder and the base off his neck, 

Jisung moans at the feeling, feeling sweat drip down his temple, Jisung feels pleasure shoot down his spine as Minho bites his neck, he groans into Minhos neck, resting his head on Minhos shoulder 

Jisung feels Minho stroke the base off his neck, 

Minhos lifts Jisung face out from his neck, kissing Jisungs lips softly, Jisung feels Minhos hands go back to his ass, and Jisung moans when Minho squeezes his ass, 

Minho smirks into Jisungs mouth, kissing Jisungs mouth rougher, 

Jisung hears the door open and shuffling and then a gasp, 

Jisung quickly wips his head around, looking for the person at the door, 

It's two maids holding food for Minho? And the cats 

Jisung feels his face turn red in embarrassment and he feels the stares off the maids bore into him, making him sink into Minhos hold deeper as he feels his heart beat faster with anxiety, his hands starting to tremble as he moves them to hold onto Minho

Minho moves Jisung head to hide in his neck, Minho seems to sense his panic, 

Minhos speaks calmly to the maids but everyone can tell there's a hint off threating in his tone, "you can leave the food down and go, thank you Sena and Noyeo" 

The maids hurry, walking very quickly one putting down Minhos food on the bedside table and leaving the cat food on the ground 

They all bow as they walk out the door backwards, looking nervous as they close the door 

Jisung sighs into Minhos neck as the woman walk out of the room, 

Jisung, feels one of Minhos hands move from his waist, Jisung looks up from Minhos neck, Jisung sees Minho grabbing the tray and putting it on his lap as jisung turns around to sit with his back to minhos chest, 

Jisung sinks into Minhos lap, Minho speaks into Jisung ear, "Jagi do you want some food?", 

Jisung nods, humming, turning his face to look at Minho, seeing Minhos consontrated face as he picks up a peice of bread and brings it to Jisungs lips 

Jisung opens his mouth, chewing on the bread, I feel Minho chew on his food against my back, Minho moves another peice of bread to Jisungs lips, pushing it into his mouth, forcing him to open his mouth to chew it 

Jisung picks up a piece of fruit and smirks, bringing it up too Minhos lips, Jisung turns around and looks at Minho seeing that hes smiling, moving his lips against Jisungs fingertips, biting the fruit from Jisungs hands 

Jisung blushes making eyecontract with Minho, as Minho smiles at Jisung, moving his hand to intertwine with Jisungs hands there fingers crossing together 

Jisung smiles at Minho, seeing Minho smile at him, 

"Come on Jagi you need to eat more" 

Jisung smiles, "you need to eat too Minho~" He says in a whiny voice 

Minho smirks, grabbing onto Jisungs waist  tickling his sides making him squeal, and wriggle over Minhos lap, laughing into Minhos chest, 

"Minho!! Minho!! Stop!!" He whines sounding out of breath 

Minho laughs letting go off Jisung waist, bringing fruit to his mouth for him to eat as he catches his breath 

Jisung wiggles his eyebrows at Minho, eating the fruit from Minho, 

Jisung smiles picking up bread for Minho and giving it to him to eat 

Jisung hears the door open, looking at the door seeing an old advisor walk in, looking embarrassed as he sees me on Minhos lap, he averts his eyes from me, looking at Minho and bowing 

"Emperor, we need you for the daily meeting now, I'm sorry to disturb your time with your love", 

Jisung feels himself blush at the word love, wishing inside himself that it could be true, 

Minho nods, "of course" he lifts Jisung of his lap, whispering to Jisung, "I'll find you when the meeting is over", kissing Jisung cheek as he walks of the bed onto the floor, putting on his sandals and following the man out of the room 

Jisung blushes brighter, laying back down on the bed, curling up with his legs to his chest, Jisung feeling the cats curl up beside him, around his torso and his face, 

Jisung feels calm wash over him, his eyes closing as he falls asleep with the cats around him, 

....

Jisung wakes up a while later to the cat licking his face, making him open his eyes slowly, Jisung yawns, stroking the cat at his face, feeling a sharp needle like pain stab into his arm, dragging along his forearm 

Jisung groans out, scrunching his face up in pain, looking down at the other cat at his arm, seeing the blood sinking from the cut, 

Jisung sits up, rubbing his eyes and looking as the cut leaks blood down his arm, 

Jisung stands up, walking to the doorway, putting on his sandals, 

Jisung walks into the lounge room, for Minhos Courters looking around the room for anything interesting, 

There's just two sofa and one cushion chair, a fire place, marble floors, and board games in the corner

Chess, and other things like that 

Jisung moves on, walking out of Minhos courters, into the hallway, 

Walking around to hallways to find where the other lounge rooms and activity rooms our

Jisung walks into a lounge room seeing children playing around with eachother  and woman sitting down playing Board games, and making tapestries

Jisung feels the woman staring at him whispering to eachother, Jisung feels nervousness creep into him, the longer the woman speak between eachother, 

Jisung feels someone walking over to him, a woman with a big smile are her face, she speaks up, "hi Jisung, it so good to finally meet you!, I've heard so much about you from Chan" 

Jisung feels confuses, it must show on his face as he watches the girl smile softly, speaking again, "I'm Bang Chans younger sister Hannah" 

Jisung eyes widen, nodding as Hannah brings him over to a group of people and sits him down, 

Hannah points to a girl and says, "this is Olivia, Yongboks younger sister" "and this is Rachel, Yongboks older sister" 

Jisung nods, feeling himself blush at the attention of so many people, Jisung sees Hannah give the other people in the room dirty looks and they turn back to what they were doing 

Jisung turns back to Olivia and Rachel as they talk, they talk about so many things, what have been happening in the palace, the newest gladiators, when the next hunt is going to be, what they have heard from there siblings 

Jisung has been trying to listen, nodding his head at everything they have been saying, when two kids comes up to him, a boy and a girl, they smile at him, 

The girl cheerfully speaking to him, "mister Han!!, I've heard you're with our Emperor Lee Know!" 

Jisung smiles, feeling blush fill his cheeks as he opens his mouth to say something, he doesn't know what to say, are they together? We have never talked about it, should I talk to him? 

The girl then holds onto his hands, smiling up at him, shoving the boy closer to Jisung, the boy looks nervous, and the girl whispers to Jisung like she's telling him some big secret, "my little brother wants to ask you something" 

Jisung nods, trying to look inviting so the boy doesn't feel so nervous, 

The boy speaks nervously, "Can you play with us mister Han?" 

Jisung feels his eyes widen at the question, I've never played with anyone before, the closest thing I've done to playing was training with people for fun, what do children play with anymore? 

Jisung gets knocked out off his thoughts by the girl speaking again, "Mister Han what do you think?" 

Jisung smiles, "of course I'll play with you two", "just call me Jisung or Hannie" 

Jisung stands up as the boy and girl smiles brightens, holding onto each of my hands, 

Jisung follows the children to the toy chest as the boy picks up three wooden sword and the girl picks up dolls, 

The boy hands Jisung a sword and gives one to the girl too, 

Jisung smiles softly at the boy, 

Jisung speaks in a fake evil voice, "where are you going?, I'm coming to get you", he points the sword at the boy, he watches as the boy fake looks scared, the boy runs away, and Jisung chases him, 

Jisung looks behind him to see the girl following after him, pointing her sword at him, Jisung fakes a scowl, making it over exaggerated, following after the boy as he runs down the hallways, to the gate to the gardens, 

Jisung runs down the gardens, all the beautiful flowers and hedges, distracting Jisung as he looks at the flowers in awe, 

The girl catches up with him, stabbing his sword into Hans chest making him move the sword the block "attack", the boy runs back over to them, stabbing Jisung in the back making Jisung turn around, 

Moving the sword In the boys direction, not putting any force into it to not hurt the boy, 

The girl and boy with stab at Jisung at the same time, making him fakely grab onto his torso, making a painful face, making him fall to the ground 

The children laugh, dropping there swords to the ground and falling onto Han, Han hugs the children, them resting both on one off his arms 

Jisung sits up on the grass, the two children sitting up with him, he sees a shadow going on top off them at he looks up to see Felix, 

The two children cheer, "Lixie!! Your back" they stand up hugging Felix 

Han smiles, standing up and Felix smiles, "hi Sungie", he hugs Han, 

Jisung smiles, kissing Felixs cheeks, "hi Lixie" 

Felix smiles, speaking, "its so good to see you again Sungie, I misses you" 

Jisung smiles back, "I missed you too Lixie, a lot" Jisung feels a lump grow in the back off his throat as he hugs Felix tighter, feeling Felixs hands move down to Jisungs waist, squeezing his waist 

Jisung feels tears start to fill his eyes, as he feels Felix stroke Jisungs sides, 

Felix moves his hands from Jisungs waist, looking at Jisung with concern, 

Felix speaks up, "Yena, Win go back to your parents sweeties" 

Yena nods taking hold off Wins hand and dragging him away 

Felix speaks seriously to Jisung, "Sungie, honey, what's wrong?" 

Jisung feels tears fill his eyes, "Lixie I-I kissed Minho" 

Felix smiles, "I know Sungie" 

Jisung, speaking up, "I think we're dating, i-i don't know" 

Felix smiles brightens, "that's so good Sungie, are you not happy about it?" 

Jisung shakes his head, sighing and moving his hands through his hair, "i-i i-i don't know, i-i am happy of course I am-am but I don't deserve him" Jisung sighs again feeling tears run down his face the longer he speaks, Jisung rubs his face, trying to stop crying 

Felix looks sad now, frowning, 

Oh no I've made someone else sad because off me, 

Jisung gasps as more tears fall down his face, 

Felix speaks softly, "Sungie why do you think that?" 

Jisung hears himself gasp wetly as he cries into his hands, "I-I'm broken, a disgrace, I-I was human trafficked, an ass-assassin" 

Felix looks angry, I see the change in his expression, the tightness and pressure in his jaw, "Sungie that doesn't make you any less than any one else, you know Hyunjin, he was human trafficked too, does that make you feel any less about him?" 

Jisung shakes his head, "no of course not" 

Felix smiles, "then why would anyone think that about you" 

Jisung speaks nervously, "Lixie i-i need to tell you something" 

Felix nods encouragingly, 

" i-i when I was human trafficked they had like these mentors that would help you, and Hyunjin was mine" 

Felix nods, his expression only changing slightly by his eyes widening, "was he nice to you?" 

Jisung nods, "mhm yeah he was nice" 

Jisung feels tears fill his eyes again, "Lixie I-I also-" his voice breaks off at the end, making he cries 

"I-I killed my brother, my sister, they promised me they wouldn't hurt her and they did, and my brother was in the army for Xuin and I killed him, I think they killed my sister too" 

More tears fill his eyes as he gasps, wiping the tears from his eyes 

Felix hugs Jisung, "Sungie honey, its ok" 

Felix strokes his hair, "your amazing Sungie, your kind, funny, caring, an amazing person, Minho would be lucky to date you" 

Jisung nods against Felixs neck, 

Jisung hears the birds in the distance chirp, the wind blowing against his hair and face, hearing the footsteps moving closer to him 

Jisung moves his head from Felixs neck, seeing Changbin walk over to them, Felix holds Jisungs hand tightly as Changbin smiles at them, his eyes flicking to Jisung in concern as Jisung rubs the tears off his face

Changbin looks back at Felix, looking nervous, "Lix can I talk to you?" 

Felix tightens his hold on Jisung hand, making Jisung look worriedly at Felix, 

Felix expression closes up, "anything you want to say to me you can say to Jisung too" 

Changbin nods, biting his lip nervously, "I-I just the first thing I want to say is, sorry Jisung, I, you've been amazing, really nice to everyone, and I shouldn't have treated you any differently and I won't, you're family" 

Jisung feels tears fill his eyes again but this time in happiness, he hugs Changbin, feeling changbin hug him back 

Jisung goes back to standing beside Felix, seeing that Felixs face looks softer, and he is staring at Changbin with a lazy smile on his face 

Changbin smiles back, taking a deep breath before speaking again, "Lix I love you", he says quickly 

Jisung eyes widen as he looks between Felix and Changbin, seeing that Felix isn't moving, looking frozen, Changbin looks nervous flickering his gaze between Felix and me 

Jisung whispers in Felix ear, "Lixie did you hear Changbin??!" 

Felix seems to snap out of his gaze, smiling, his cheeks flushing, "Changbin, I love you too" 

Changbin smiles, kissing Felix

Jisung fake gags and walks away leaving Changbin and Felix too "make up" 

....

Jisung walks around the halls seeing the woman and men speaking together, staring at me as I walk past making me shrink into myself as I walk to Minhos courters, as quickly as I can to escape the voices, the vultures talking about me and Minho so called "relationship" 

Well at least I know me and Minho will be forced to talk about it, even if we don't want to and I'm sure he doesn't even want to be with me 

Jisung walks to the lounge In Minhos courters, taking his sandals off and sitting down, sinking into the sofa, trying to relax as he waits for Minho 

Chapter Text

Jisung waits for Minho in the lounge, feeling his head start to hurt the longer he sits here, thinking, his head racing with the thoughts of what people are saying about them, about himself 

Jisung has never been through this before, I know he's been through more, alot more but he's never had people care about him, make lies about him, about private things in his life especially with Minho 

Jisung feels himself sink into the seat, closing his eyes as the headache gets worse the longer he's here, waiting for Minho to come, not knowing what to do

Jisung sits there only looking up when he finally hears the door open and Minho walks in looking tired, moving his hand through his hair, messing it up more than it already is 

Minho walks over to Jisung sitting down beside him, they just sit there for a while as Jisung collects his thoughts, feeling a lump build up in his throat as he rests his head in his hands 

Jisung speaks up quietly, his voice sounding on breaking point, "Minho have you heard what people are saying?, there talking about me and you", wrinkles appear on Jisung brow as he bites his lip in worry 

Minho speaks again, "yeah, I know Jagi" 

Jisung drags his hands through his hair in stress, "are you not worried??" 

Minho sighs, "I'm the Emperor, I'm used to it" 

Jisung nods, "when did it start all the prying into your personal life",

Minho speaks, "for as long as I can remember, I should have warned you, I'm sorry Jagiya",

Jisung speaks softly feeling gald? He's feeling great full for Minho, he hugs  Minho, whispering into Minho ear, "its ok, i-i just worry sometimes" 

Minho kisses Jisung cheek, whispering into Jisung ear, speaking softly, "Jagi I hate when you worry so much", he softly strokes Jisungs hair 

Jisung blushes, feeling himself become shy, Jisung wraps his arms around Minhos waist, feeling Minho kiss underneath his jaw, 

Jisung speaks up blushing, mumbling as Minho sucks onto his jaw, "Minho we need to talk" Jisung gasps as he feels Minho bite into his neck, 

Jisung feels Minhos hands travel up his robe, Minhos hands squeezing onto Jisungs bare waist, Minho licks up Jisungs neck, making him moan into Minhos mouth, 

Jisung lays down on the couch as Minho pushes Jisung down, kissing Jisungs neck, 

Jisung groans, wriggling underneath Minho, lifting his hands up to Minhos jaw, bringing Minhos head closer to Jisungs, kissing Minho, feeling Minhos tongue slip into his mouth 

Jisung separates there lips, gasping for breath, Jisungs lips resting on the side of Minhos mouth as he breathes, 

Jisung speaks in a higher pitch, feeling flushed, "Mm-Minho we need to speak" 

Minhos hands move to Jisung hips, slipping his tongue into Jisungs mouth again, biting Jisungs lips, Jisung moans, feeling Minhos hands become tighter on his hips, massaging his hips, Minho drags Jisung by his hips closer to Minho, 

Jisung groans into Minhos mouth sucking into Minhos mouth, Minho separates there mouths, his eyes hooded as he looks at Jisung, Minho strokes Jisungs hair, Jisung blushes, looking into Minhos eyes as Minho speaks calmly, "what did you wanna talk about Jagi?" 

Jisung bites his lip, feeling nervous as he scans Minhos face for any bad emotions but he sees nothing, just a calm expression on his face, maybe a little blush on his cheeks 

Jisung speaks anxiously, but he needs to be honest, "Minho, I uh I like you, like you more than a friend", 

Jisung looks up as he hears Minho laugh, Jisung feels himself blush brighter, Jisunga speaks nervously, "Minho why are you laughing?", Jisung feels anxious as he watches Minhos face 

Minho smiles speaking, "sorry for laughing Jagiya, but I thought it was obvious that we liked each other Jagi" 

Jisung feels himself flush all the way down to his neck, Jisung speaks again, "so uh are we dating?, I've never been with anyone before", 

Minhos smile widens, "Yes of course we're dating, if your ok with that Jagi?" 

Jisung nods shyly, "Yes I'm OK with that" 

Minho smirks, kissing Jisung on the neck as he wraps his hands around Jisungs waist

Jisung feels his head fill with thoughts, when's the last time I done this with someone? I've played about with Yongbok but we've never gone far, the last time I've gone the whole way was when I was being abused, Jisung shivers at the phantom memory 

Jisung cranes his neck to kiss Minhos face as he cups Minhos jaw with his hands, Jisung kisses Minhos lips, and Minho smiles against his lips kissing back, 

Jisung moves his hands from Minhos jaw to Minhos thighs feeling his muscles move under his hands as Minho sucks Jisungs jaw, biting his neck as he moves down Jisungs body to his collar bone, sucking a bruise onto it

Jisung moans grabbing tighter onto Minhos thighs as Minho bites one of his areolae, smoothing his tongue around the area afterwards, Jisung feels himself flush from his neck to his head, as he groans when Minho squeezes his nipples, Jisung feels sweat drip down his temple, 

Jisung feels anxiety flutter in his stomach, He doesn't know if he wants to do this, he's scared to be with anyone else 

Jisung feels heat build up in his lower stomach as Minho feels up Jisung stomach, kissing down Jisungs torso, making Jisung whimper as his body becomes more sensitive to Minho touch, making his heart beat in his limbs, feeling like his body is on fire, 

Jisung moans, air getting stuck in his throat when Minho lips attach themselves onto his inner thigh, Jisung feels his body buzz underneath his skin the longer Minho sucks his skin, Jisung cries out, his toes curling and his muscles trembling, 

His mind is feeling fuzzy, feeling like his brain is turning to liquid and will pour out off his ears, making his memories fade together 

Jisung doesn't know were he is anymore, his brain fading from being with Minho and Eun-ae, Jisung feels like hes losing himself 

Minho bites Jisungs inner thigh hard, very hard making Jisung cry out and his back arch, his mouth opening as he squeezes his eyes shut, 

Jisung remembers how rough Eun-ae was, 

..

Jisung feels himself fading in and out as he slowly feels blood pour out off his bite marks from Eun-ae, the pain off his muscles as he feels Eun-ae rearrange his limbs around where Eun-ae wants them, 

..

Jisung squeezes his eyes shut to try and escape the memories, he's with Minho, his boyfriend not Eun-ae 

Minho moves his finger into Jisungs mouth, feeling the hot heat off Jisungs mouth as more drool fills Jisungs mouth, when Minho spreads Jisungs thighs wider apart, kissing Jisungs thighs and resting his other hand on Jisungs waist, massaging his side 

Jisung moans and Minho feels it vibrate against his finger that are deep in Jisungs mouth, 

Minhos speaks and Jisung feels his voice vibrate against his thighs, making his thighs tremble "your so pretty Jagi, so pretty for me", Jisung feels Minhos hands travel higher up Jisungs thighs spreading them to rest on Minhos shoulders, 

Jisung feels his brain pour out off his ears at Minhos words, Jisung moans at Minhos words making more drool travel out off his mouth, making it travel down his neck, 

Jisung feels his brain start to panic, the flashes off memories getting worse, Minhos turning into Eun-ae, making Jisung breathing get faster, as he whimpers, 

Jisung speaks over the fingers in his mouth, feeling his face heat up but in embarrassment this time, I know I need to stop this, I'm not ready, "Minho-" Jisung groans as Minho shoves his fingers deeper in Jisung mouth, making Jisungs legs tremble on Minhos shoulders, 

Minho brow furrows ever so slightly, his expression turning worried 

Jisung feels himself pale as Minho strokes his thighs apart wider, Minho speaks up, speaking calmly, a hint of worry in his tone "do you wanna continue Jagiya?" 

Jisung looks at Minho anxiously, shaking his head no, feeling a lump build in his throat, he doesn't want to disapoint Minho, what if he leaves him?, 

Minho moves his hands away from Jisung, lifting Jisung up into a sitting position, 

Minho speaks softly to Jisung, "you ok Jagi?" 

Jisung nods, speaking over the lump in his throat, "yeah" "I just don't want to disapoint you" 

Minho tutts, speaking lovingly, "you could never disapoint me Jagiya" 

Jisung nods, holding Minhos hands, 

Jisung speaks nervously, rubbing the back off his neck, "its not you, I'm just not ready to have sex with anyone yet" 

Jisung blushes his face turning red, 

Minho nods, smiling, "that's completely fine Jagi, you know what I  believe?" 

Jisung shakes his head, looking up at Minho 

Minho speaks smiling, "I think consent is sexy, and I you're not ready I would never push you to do anything you didn't want to do" 

Jisung flushes brighter, and nods, smiling back at Minho 

Jisung hugs Minho, Minho hugs Jisung back, kissing Jisungs cheeks 

..

Jeongin sits in Chans office as Chan talks with Sana, they seem to be talking about Jyp, Chan looking nervous, 

Sana pats Chans upper back, hugging him, Chan hugs Sana back, 

Chan is anxious, how did he not realise Jyp was evil, he needs to meet Jyp, i-i he's trying to kill Minho, I need to ambush him, and bring him to the palace, and I thought things were slowing down here, I wanted to rest, finally spend time with Jeongin like I always wanted to, spend time with my boyfriend 

Bangchan feels fingers move to his shoulders massaging them, he looks behind to see Jeongin massaging them 

Chan speaks up softly, "Innie a wanna find Jyp and put him in prison, and then I want to spend time with you, we've been dating for a long time, I want to when my workload slows down, spend more time with you like you've always wanted too, I'm sick off it I'm not promising I won't still work long hours still, but I want time with you" 

Jeongin speak again a bit off guard coming into his voice, "I would like that too Channie, I've been wanting that for years" 

Jeongin feels Chan nod against him, 

Chan turns around to face Jeongin, "I'm sorry Jeongin, I've been a horrible boyfriend, I haven't spend time with you because I've been to caught up with work and the Emperor and then I left for a year to travel around our Emperor" 

Jeongin tutts frowning, "I was angry at you Channie but I know how hard you work, how much you care about our people, but I was more angry at Minho for putting all the pressure and most off the work on you, and don't think you knew this but 2 years ago me and Minho had a big fight about it, that why how a while your workload gone down, but then of course you had to get more work after the gangs started getting worse again" 

Chan winces, "I'm sorry Innie", "I'll try not to work as hard" 

Jeongin smiles, "you better or you'll have me to answer too" 

Jeongin laughs, "but to be serious, yoo will have me to answer to if you don't follow you're promises" 

Chan, holds his hands up, "ok, ok I will, I promise innie" 

..

Chapter Text

Bangchan scrunches his eyes closed tight in pain, clutching his side as he sits down in the alleyway, he feels blood pour over his finger, whimpering at the pain 

He was Stealing food from the market when he had bread and the man found him and stabbed him, omygod he's going to die, he's going to die at 14, how is he going to look after Hannah if he's dead, Lucas already died because of me 

Chan tries to stand up as his wound bleeds sluggishly, making his eyes feel heavy, he stands on wobbling legs, feeling hot blood travel up his throat, Chan coughs blood pooling in his mouth, 

The wound was hurting before, feeling like he was getting poked by a hot poker millions off times, pain shooting down his spine with every step, but now he can't feel anything, his feet and hands are starting to buzz making them feel numb 

Chan holds onto the walls, walking down the cobblestone streets, he needs to find Hannah, make sure she's OK, Chan should maybe get food incase he dies and Hannah doesn't have anyone to look after her 

Chan feels light-headedness move through him, making his legs buckle from under him, his wound is now pooling blood, his sleeve from his hand moisten with blood as he lays in the alleyway 

Chan faintly whimpers, his whole body beating feeling his heart from everywhere, Chan feels sweat drip down his temple, 

Chan faintly hears footsteps coming from behind him, making him force his eyes open more, seeing a man staring down at him 

Chan whimpers holding onto his side again, Chan swallows over the lump in his throat, "uh-hi", Chan coughs feeling blood spit out off his mouth, 

The man leans down, leaning on his knees, the man brings his fingers to Chans mouth, wiping the blood away, 

Chan feels more sweat drip down his temple, as he watches the man, the man speaks, "what's your name?" 

Chan moves his head to the side, blood pouring out off his mouth as he speaks, "Bangchan", the man speaks again, "I'm Park Jin-young also called Jyp"

Chans eyes widen coughs racking his body more blood sluggishly moving out off his wound, "uhh as in the business guy??" 

Chans eyes start to droop again, Chan feels a hand grip around his arm, pulling him up, making him cry out in pain, Jyp pulls Chan up into a standing position, his legs trembling, he leans into Jyps side, feeling his head is full off cotton 

Chan speaks up, sounding out off breath at the strain on his body, "what ar-are you do-doing??" Chan feels his eyes droop down again, making him lean heavier into Jyps side, 

Jyp speaks up, "im taking you to my doctor, do I need to send someone to call to your parents house so they know where you are?" 

Chan opens his eyes at that, he feels chills rack his body, he feels sweaty  "no I only have a sister" 

Jyp sighs, "where is she?" 

Chan speaks blood bubbling out off his mouth, "she's on top street" 

I feel Jyp nod, "I'll send someone to get her", Chan feels his eyes droop, making him stumble as he walks, his limbs feel weak making him trip over them, he feels his brain turn to mush, and then everything goes black 

...

Bangchan wakes up with a start, shooting up from were he was laying down, Chan cries out, looking down at his bare abdomen, seeing the scar there from the wound, Chan feels sweat drip down his temple, his muscles aching, 

Chan feels an arm sneakily wrap around his waist pulling him back down to lay down, Chan feels Jeongin arm muscles flex as he holds Chan, Jeongin speaks into Chans temple, sounding sleepily and his voice has a rough edge to it from sleep, "Channie go back to sleep, baby, did you have a nightmare?" 

Chan nods against Jeongin, moving to face Jeongin, Chan speaks with a wet tone, "it was about when I first met Jyp" Chan bites his lip feeling it tremble as he blinks his eyes quickly to try and stop tears pulling down his face 

Jeongin nods, touching Chans scar on his abdomen, stroking up and down it, in a calming manner, Jeongin speaks softly, "is that how you got this scar?" 

Chan nods, feeling heat travel around his body through his veins making him feel hot and achy more sweat dripping down his temple, "jyp found me, I got stabbed and h-he found me" Chans voice trembles, biting his lip, 

Jeongin raises his eyebrows slightly but then his face goes back to neutral, he seems to be fighting with what to say but Chan can't work out what his emotions are, he's been spending to much time with Minho, do Minho and Jeongin talk about me?, Chan grits his teeth feeling paranoia grip him, Chan feels like the heat is burning him alive, Jeongin smoothes his hand over Chans stomach, "who hurt you baby?" 

Chan feels ugly thoughts fill his head, why does Jeongin want to know these things?? Is he planning something?, "uh h it was nothing really just so-" Chan feels Jeongins hands move up his shoulders, smoothing over his shoulder bones, Jeongin speaks to Chan, "Baby please be honest", 

Chan feels confused his brain and heart fight against eachother, he a lump in his throat grow , making him stutter out his words, "I-I was stab-stabbed by a market worker for Stealing b-bread for Han-Hannah" 

Jeongin eyebrows furrow, he speaks ,"I-? what? I didn't know you were poor?" 

Chan rubs behind his neck, he shouldn't have told him anything, what if Jeongin and Minho are actually planning something 

Chan remember when Park Joho the priest came to see him, not the time he came because off Felix, before Han came to the Palace 

Chan was in his office working when someone knocked on the door, forcing him out off his thoughts, Chan spoke up, "come in", he wasn't expecting anyone 

When Joho came in he straightened up in his seat, Joho was known to be tough to deal with, and very religious, well he is a priest but Chan is still not ready to deal with him, hes a pain in everyone's ass always complaining about things 

I wonder who sent him to me, I don't know what district he comes from or who he works for, I feel bad for whoever has to deal with Joho, Minhos so lucky Joho never comes to him, he always comes to me, Chan speaks up, "Hello Joho?" "What can I do for you today?" 

Joho speaks up taking something out off his bag, it's two vials of some drink and he hands one to Chan, 

Joho smiles, "lets have a drink before we talk about the sensitive matters Channie", 

Chan raises his eyebrows, feeling hesitant but he takes the vial, speaking hesitantly, "did you bring it through the tasters, Min- The Emperor said anything that people give me has to go through tasters", 

Joho rolls his eyes, speaking bluntly, "Yes I did, do you not trust me!?" 

Chan can't let him feel like the inner core doesn't trust him or he'll react even worse, he's very powerful in Rome he works close with all the gangs trying to keep the peace, especially with Division 1

Chan shakes his head, "no no no! I do trust you" 

Chan quickly downs the drink, the taste off the drink getting stuck on the top off his mouth, it tastes weird, metallically, making him cringe at the taste 

Joho speaks up, "now I came to you because I heard somethings I shouldn't have, but I'm telling you because if I don't I'm afraid you will be in danger" 

Chan scrunches his face up in confusion, "what do you mean I will be in danger?" 

Joho speaks up sounding sad, "I over heard Minho and your boyfriend Jeongin speaking together, they were talking about how youve over worked your self so much your no use to them anymore, they're planning to overrule you, put someone else in your position and you'll become nothing more than Jeongins bed warmer", Joho becomes dark at the end, disdane showing on his face

Chan feels his eyes widen, his face paling, "what?- they- they wouldn't!!" 

Chan stands up quickly, feeling overwhelmed with this new information, no its fake, it can't be true, they would never, "your lying!! Get out!" Chan face turns angry, his eyebrow furrowing, 

Joho sighs, sounding angry, "I tried to tell you, what happens is now your fault! You're fate is in your own hands " 

Joho gets up and leaves, storming out off the room, Chan sits back down, Chan feels burning in his throat, as he hides his head in his hands, would they actually Hurt Chan like that? 

 speaking nervously, Chan says, feeling his stomach turn, nausea making his throat burn, "I want to be honest with you, I haven't been, uh- I wasn't born rich my parents died when i-i wa-was young and I had siblings not just Hannah, i-i had a-a bro-brother but he d-died because of-of me", 

Chan feels tears fill his eyes, he watches Jeongins expression change as he listens to Chan speaking, tears drip down Chans face, Chan feels himself start to tremble, the expression Jeongin seems to settle on is sad which makes Chan whimper as more tears escape from his eyes, Chan speaks in a quiet voice, "Innie please don't be sad" 

Jeongin holds onto Chans hands, "Baby I'm sorry you had to go through that" 

Chan bites his lips, "I'm fine Innie" 

Jeongin speaks again sounding more serious, "but what did you mean its your fault your brother died?", 

This is it, this is the moment when will Minho break down the door and Jeongin and him will finally take my position away from me, finally I'll become nothing but what Joho said, a bed warmer for Jeongin 

But doesn't come in, no one comes in, and Chan speaks up in a trembling voice "I couldn't get enough food for all of us and then he died" 

Jeongin expression turns pitiful, "Channie why would you think that?, how could that be your fault" Jeongin speaks in a soft voice 

Chan feels his eyes blur with tears, he harshly wipes his tears, he feels his stomach turn again, he's been throwing up for a while now, but he can't tell anyone especially when Jeongin and Minho want to replace him, Chan feels more chills rack his body 

Chan distantly hears Jeongin sigh, speaking, "Channie how about you stay in bed for today and rest", 

Chan shakes his head violently, feeling more nausea grip him, his stomach cramping making more sweat drip down his face, Chan quickly stands up making himself feel lightheaded, nearly falling over if he didn't grip onto the wall, 

Chan speaks panicking "no! I'm not!! Your not replacing me!!" Chans sure he's not making any sense with how confused Jeongin looks, 

Jeongin speaks calming, taking in Chans appearance his eyebrow furrowing, is he sick? Hes sweating, not making sense and trembling, "Baby lay back down, I think youre sick, ill get the doctor" 

Chan face seems to pale, as he spits out words, "no! You're not doing this!! I know what you and Minho are planning to do!!" Chan feels himself wobble as he stands, he quickly walks away, feeling himself panic as he walks down the hallways in a panic, crashing into the walls as he walks, 

Chan feels nausea but he doesn't have anything to throw up, everytime he's ate something it's come back up, he feels something thick, wet and warm, drool down his mouth, moving his hand up to feel it, his hands come back with blood covering them, but the blood looks weird it has a shiny look to it, Chan feels a familiar metallic taste from it, making him cough and feel the pain growing in his stomach 

Chan hears someone shout, "Get the doctor!!" As people rush over to him 

It's Jeongin, Changbin and Felix 

Felix immediately takes Chans face in his hands, speaking softly to Chan but keeping his voice firm, "Hyung, you need to calm down, what happened?" 

Chan looks at Felix some off his panic relaxing out off his body, "Jeongin and Minho are trying to replace me!!" Chan feels tears fill his eyes, his lip trembling, His legs feel weak, as he sinks deeper into Felix hold

Felix face turns angry looking at Jeongin, "Seriously?? Is this true??!" 

Jeongin speaks up, "no of course not!! Channie is what helps this Emperor be so great, why would we try to replace him", 

Felix face relaxs again, he speaks to Chan, "Hyung I'm going to pass you over to Changbin, ok?" 

Chan nods slowly, feeling his eyes droop, his muscles feel lax, they feel weak like they're turning into liquid as he stands making him nearly fall over, Changbin wraps his arms around Chan, holding him up, 

Changbin speaks, whispering to Chan, "Hyung, since when have you been sick, I know this didn't happen over night", 

Chan feels himself tremble in Changbins hold, resting his head on Changbins shoulder, he feels defeated, his muscles aching, "i-i for a couple off weeks" 

Changbin holds tighter onto Chan, 

Jeongin goes over to Chan, holding his jaw, "Baby who told you me and Minho was replacing you?" 

Chan feels nervousness fill him, "Joho the priest, he said he heard you and Minho talking" 

Chan sees Felix eyes widen, paling, he rushes over to Chan, "when was this!?" 

Chan feels faint as he stands, Chan whimpers, his legs buckling under him, Changbin drops down with Chan, stroking his hair, speaking softly to him, "Channie, come on speak", 

"A couple off weeks ago before Han came", 

Felix speaks, "did he give you something a weird vial?" 

Chan nods, feeling sweat drip down his temple, his stomach cramping, 

Felix speaks, "it was posion, he- Jyp sent him on that mission but I didn't think it was to hurt you" 

Chan feels tears fill his eyes, feeling everything fix together like puzzle peices, "Jyp? He done this?" 

Jeongin drops down to Chan, "Baby come on, let's bring you to the doctor" 

Chan tries to stand up, but his knees buckle as soon as he tries to stand up, 

Chans eyes widen, his whole body is in pain, He gasps at the sharp pain in his stomach as he sharply moves his head to the side, throwing up on the ground, all that comes up is bile, acid, blood and some metallic dots, 

Chan feels hands circle around his waist, lifting him up, and holding him in a bridal position, Chans head falls onto Jeongins shoulder, feeling to weak to hold himself up, now that he finally has let himself rest all the sickness is hitting him at once 

Jeongin walks, to the medic suites, with Yongbok and Changbin walking beside him, 

Chan feels his brain start to become mush, he feels like hes in a daze, like he's watching this scene play out from above, Chan feels himself be set down on something soft, feeling his body sink down into it, 

Chan feels someone's cold hands feel this head and underneath his neck, he feels something cold and moist lay on his forehead, 

Chan feels aches travel up his muscles, making him groan, Chan feels hands hold onto his face, and he distantly hears Jeongin speak to someone, "he's paranoid, he seems to think we were ganging up against him to replace him",    ....    "he's incoherent, --he's having pain in his muscles, he's been throwing up" 

Chan hears another person speak up but it feels distant like hes underwater, "it was Joho??, of course,--- Jyp ordered that? This is war, he attacked one of the people under my protection!!!, we are at war!!" 

Oh it's Minho, Chan forces his mouth to make words, he can tell he's slurring, but he hopes they can understand, "M--Minho, I know were Jyp business is-" the words feel weird in his mouth, his throat burning, he feels chills rack his body, the damp towel feeling cold against his forehead, making him shiver, 

Minho turns to Chan, speaking calmly to him, "hyung, you should rest to let your body heal, the doctor is making your medicine but you still need to rest to help your body heal" 

Chan speaks again, his hand trembling as he reaches too hold onto Minhos arm, Chan feels someone's hand wrap around his hand, he recognises it as Jeongin, "Min-ho he li-lives in a- house o-on a-" Chan feels a drop off sweat drip down his chest, 

He feels himself tremble, "he- in this lit-little cottage on Arb-arbre Magi-que", 

Jeongin squeezes Chans hand, kissing his hand, "Baby go to sleep, you've been so strong, but you need rest", 

Chan tightens his grip on Jeongins hand, feeling his muscles turn lax as he feels himself fall into a deep sleep, feeling himself sink deeper 

...

Jisung sit down in the meeting room, following Minho as he waves Jisung over, Jisung walks beside Minho, feeling Minhos hands wrap around his waist pulling him down to sit on Minhos lap, 

Jisung speaks up, into Minhos ear as they wait for the other members to join, "how is Chan?" Jisung speaks nervously, 

Minho kisses Jisung cheek, "he's fine, he most likely won't have any lasting effects, he might get some tremors or headaches but as soon as the posion leaves his system he'll be fine, it was a long acting posion but the doctor is flushing his system" 

Jisung nods against Minho, feeling the door open and the rest of the members walking in, Jisunv watches Jeongin as he walks in with Felix clinging to him, looking nervous, 

Then Hyunjin and Seungmin walk in, Hyunjin seems to be over compensating with the lack of energy, particularly buzzing, speaking loudly, "Jisungie!!! I see you and Minho are together!" He wiggles his eyebrows 

Jisung feels himself flush in Minhos lap, Jisung feels Minho wrap his arms tighter around his back, making Jisung move flush to Minhos back,  

Seungmin groans dragging Hyunjin to sit down, once they are all seated, Jeongin starts speaking, "we are all here to talk about Chan and how he got poisoned", 

They all sit up straight listening, "he was poisoned by Park Joho, on the order of Jyp", 

Hyunjin face hardens, turning blank, 

Jeongin speaks again, his voice starting to tremble, "I don't think Channie told any of you about this, but him and his sister was taken in by Jyp as children, and I'm just dreading when Chan becomes coherent and realises his father figure tried to kill him", Jeongin squeezes his hair, pulling at it, 

Felix quickly takes hold off Jeongins hands, whispering to him, 

Hans eyes widen at this new knowledge, he heard about two sibling being taken in by Jyp but he never thought it was Chan and Hannah 

Minho speaks up from behind Jisung, his words vibrating from his chest through Jisungs back 

"We need to plan an attack on Division 1, not just Jyp, they all need to suffer, people don't just get away with hurting my people, people under my protection, especially Chan", 

They all nod, going over the plans, planning together 

Chapter Text

Chan has been slipping in and out off consciousness for hours, he feels weak, he can hardly keep his eyes open when he does wake up, 

Chan wakes up for the third time, trying to sit up, but he's too warn out as soon as he gets his arms under him he he falls back down, Chan groans as he falls back down, feeling his muscles ache, they feel like they're on fire, burning everytime he moves them, he feels like his senses are clogged with cotton, 

Chan sees someone walk up to his bedside, his blurry eye trying to focus on them as they take hold off his chin, Chan tries to focus his eyes to watch the person, but he already feels exhausted, his head starting to throb, the person brings a tonic to Chans mouth, pouring it in,  Chan feels to tired to panic about what he just drank, he just swallows, his throat feeling dry, his throat burns as the liquid flows fown his throat, his Adams apple bobbing and tensing 

Chans feels his muscle relax back into the bed, the burn slowly subsiding, making him feel drowzy, lightheaded as his eyelids stick heavily down as he falls back into a deep sleep 

...

Jisung changes his clothes, trying to pull the robe over himself as be balances on one leg, hopping as he walks around the room, they've planned for me to go to Jyps private home first, which took alot of persuading to get Minho to let me go first, hes starting to get very overprotective because off what happened to Chan,

we're all splitting up, 

Me, Minho, Hyunjin, Jeongin, Sana, Mina, Chaeyoung, Jihyo, Yeji, Yuna and 0.5/4 of Minhos Royal army going to Jyp private House 

Felix, Changbin, Seungmin, Jeongyeon, Nayeon, Dahuyn, Momo, Tzuyu, Ryujin, Lia, Chaeryeong, Lily and 1.5/4 of Minhos Royal army going to Division 1s base 

The rest off the army is looking after the palace, protecting Chan and the rest off the people under Minhos protection 

Felix will be meeting with Jackson and BamBam as he will be going first to the base,  most of the members trust Felix, the past couple of months because people  watched him and Felix become friends 

Han has finally got his robe on when he hears the door open and he sees Minho walk in holding daggers, Minho walks over to Han, hugging him, 

Jisung eyes widen as Minho holds him, hes still shocked even though he knows Minho would never hurt him, it would be so easy for Minho to kill Jisung now, while his guard is down, just like what Jisung was playing to do, wanted to do, Jisung deserves it, with everything he done, he deserves to die, painfully, now that the cruel manner off what Jyp is really like, trying to kill someone that sees him as a father figure that he particularly raised 

How can Jisung be sure all the people he killed over the years weren't innocent, at least some off them 

Jisung ears buzz at the thought as he feel Minho tighten his hold around Jisungs waist, squeezing his sides, Minho pulls back, holding Jisungs face, "Jisungie you ok?" 

Jisung nods, humming, "yeah baby I'm good" the pet name just slipped out off his mouth, and Jisung opens his mouth slightly in shock, feeling his cheeks flush, 

Minho smiles, and Jisung sees his eyes twinkle, Minho kisses Jisung cheek, "be careful, I won't be able to live with myself if anything happened to you" 

Jisung shakes his head, sighing, "I'm fine, and nothing will happen  to me, you don't need to worry" 

Minho smiles, "you'll have 10 minutes with Jyp before we all join and help you" Minho hands Jisung the daggers, slipping one off them under Jisungs sleeve 

Minho smiles, "a spare if you need one", 

Jisung smiles, taking a deep breath, trying to build up confidence and kisses Minho wrapping his hands around Minhos neck, 

Minho wraps his arms around Jisungs waist kissing back, trailing his hands under Jisungs robes, squeezing his waist, biting Jisungs lips, Jisung smiles, giggling into the kiss, Minho smiles, sucking into Jisungs mouth 

Jisung smiles bigger biting Minhos lip, pushing him away from his chest, "Minho I need to go" 

Minho chuckles, "Jagiya stay", Minho whines 

Jisung shakes his head, pointing at Minho playfully, "baby- I know what you're trying to do and I'll be fine, I promise" 

Minho kisses Jisung again slowly, he speaks under Jisungs jaw, "ok Jagi I trust you" 

Jisung smiles, walking away, blowing a kiss to Minho, Minho winks as Jisung walks away, 

..

Jisung takes a carriage to jyp private House, asking Minhos men to leave him at the start of the road so Jyp doesn't suspect anything, and he walks the whole way, down the country road, walking the rolling hills and the wind, blow Jisungs hair in his face, the branches creaking and moaning with the pressure, it feels like a sign off something more that is going to happen 

The morning was warm and moist, the warmth leaving water droplets rolling down the windows, he woke up feeling stuck to Minhos side, the heat making him feel drozy and tired 

But now it's cold, damp from the left over moisture, the wind blowing the water from the trees, everywhere making it look like its raining, even when it isn't, 

Jisung walks awhile longer finally seeing the opening in the trees, an extravagant white Manor, with two guards standing at the front off the gate, 

Minho said he didn't want anyone to hurt me, that doesn't mean I can't hurt myself, it's part off the plan, the weak naive boy that Jyp brought in from the streets, from what Seungmin told us about Chans past it seems Jyp has a thing for stray dogs, well Stray kids,  and I might also want to test Minho, see how "protective" he is 

Jisung hides behind a tree, moving out off sight from the guards, Jisung picks up one off the daggers Minho gave him and stabs it through his thigh, making him force down a whine, biting into the sleeve of his robe, 

Jisung sees forcefully removes the dagger from his thigh, making him groan, a tear rolling down his cheek, Jisung sees blood pour out off the wound rolling down his leg, Jisung groans in pain, limping down the road, Jisung puts his hand over the wound, putting pressure on it to try and slow the bleeding down, 

Jisung grits his teeth, the guards finally notice him, they had been slouching against the fence talking leisurely together, but now they are standing straight, there eyes looking freaked as they watch me limp closer, Jisung breathes deeply, time to put on an act 

Jisung furrows his brows deeply, crying out in his whinest, bratty voice, everyone in this gang thinks I'm Jyps bitch, he guesses its finally turning in his favour 

"What are you doing!!! Help me!" He cries out, Jisung feels tears falling down his cheeks, so maybe that stab hurt like a bitch, 

The guards finally start moving, looking freaked, as the walk over to Jisung, they are hovering not knowing what to do, there hands suspended in air, too scared to touch Jisung 

Jisung feels his blood leak down his hand, and he whines in pain, "help me!!" He shouts, more tears fall down his face, making him flush, damn this is embarrassing and I've done alot off things, but this is by far one off the most humiliating ones, 

One off the men finally lift Jisung up in a bridal position, and Jisung dramatically forces his head onto the mans shoulder, whining in his hold, the men walk, opening the gate, and walking down the driveway 

Jisung fake whines in pain, clutching onto the mans shirt, looking at him with wide eyes,  "hurry up, you don't want my blood on you'd hands, literally!!, or what would daddy Jyp think if his most successful assassin died because the help wasn't quick another", he threatens in a dark tone 

The mens faces turn deathly pale and there eyes widen almost comically, he would have laughed if he was in any state or mood too, atleast they quicken up there steps, moving almost in a sprint, 

Jisung speaks up again, holding onto his wound, "just bring me to Jyp" 

The men turn even more pale, if that's even possible, Jisung raises an eyebrow at them, and they stutter over each other to speak, "ye-yes yes- of-of of course si-sir" 

Jisung smiles mimicly at them, sneering at them, 

They quickly get to Jyps room, and they knock and Jyp shouts from inside, "come in" 

They both open the door, Jisung can feel the one carrying him, trembling, as they walk in, Jyp speaks again, coldly with his back turned away from them, "what is it?, I'm working" 

The men trembling increases, making Jisung leg Jolt and he hisses in pain, Jyp turns around quickly at the sound, his face morphing into shock, and nervousness, Jyp moves quickly to Jisung, 

"Hannie? What happened??!" 

Jisung fights back to snap at Jyp and just kill him right now, but he needs to wait until Minho and his army comes here, Jisung over exaggerates a painful, sorrowful expression, whining out to Jyp, "I was on my way back here when I got ambushed and stabbed, i-i think it was the in-inner core", Jisung forces tears out off his eyes, holding onto Jyps hand, 

Jyp speaks to the men, "leave Han on the bed" pointing to the big, dark bed in the middle off the room, the bed covers are messy, crumpled, the men walk over still trembling in fear off being in Jyp presence

I nearly scoff, they're supposed to be Jyps guards, how pathetic that they're scared off him that much, they slowly set jisung down on the bed 

Jisung can already feel the blood from his wound soaking into the bed sheets making him cringe, the men quickly walk out of the room, after bowing in respect to Jyp, the adrenaline finally wearing off, making him feel tired and cold 

Jyp quickly walks over to the bed, sitting down beside Jisungs head, lifting his head onto Jyps lap, stroking his hair, Jisung groans, wriggling around in Jyps hold, Jisung feels nervousness settle into the pit off his stomach, 

Jyp holds Jisung down, stopping him from wriggling, he tutts, shaking his head, Jisung feels his wound still sluggishly spilling blood and he moves his stickly warm bloody hand down to try and cover his wound but Jyp grabs onto his wrist, sighing deeply, sounding disappointed, Jisung looks up at Jyp with wide eyes, feeling his stomach drop, 

The words playing over and over in his head, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows,he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows,he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, 

He tries to hide the panic on his face but by the way Jyps smiles widens impossibly so, he fails, 

Jisung speaks nervously trying to sound confident, "uh- Jy-" he coughs nervously clearing his throat, "Master, can I bandage up the wound? I need to stop the bleed" 

Jyp smiles, moving his hand making Jisung flinch, but Jyp just moves Jisung sleeve down on the hand Jisung tried to reach out to his wound, messaging the red mark on his wrist from how hard he grabbed Jisungs wrist, he's still not speaking just smiling creepily at Jisung 

Jyp finally opens his mouth to say one single word, "no", Jisung eyes widen, his mouth opening slightly agap, his face paling slightly, he's feeling woozy with the amount off blood he's lost, the feeling only intensifying with panic, Jisung feels Jyp move his hand, forcing his mouth shut again, 

Jisung speaks his voice starting to tremble, "please mas-ter" 

Jyp shakes his head, laughing slightly, sounding deranged, the sound makes Jisung thrash in his hold, trying to get free, Jyp holds Jisung down tighter, speaking coldly, "Hannie shhh shhh stop thrashing, calm down, you'll be fine" 

Jisung finally feels himself break, his temper breaking making him cry out weakly, trying to catch his breath, 'I won't be fine you ass!! I'm bleeding out!!", Jisung feels himself pale more, sweat starting to build around his nape and pits, 

Jyps expression turns dark, and he leans, crawling over Jisungs lap, sitting on his hips, holding lighting onto the base off his neck were his shoulders and neck joins, leaning close to his collar bone, Jisungs shivers feeling his heart beat In his wound as he feels the bleeding slow down, making cold sweat drip down his temple, 

Jyp speaks slowly to Jisung, moving close to his ear, hovering over him, "I was planning on being nice to you Hannie seeing as you served me so well in the past, but then I heard off you're betrayal, I was hurt Hannie, really hurt", Jyp fakes a sad expression, putting more pressure on his hold on Jisungs neck, 

Jisung chokes on his next breath, grabbing onto Jyp and trying to push him off, Jyp speaks threatenly to Jisung, spitting his words out close to his face, "stay still and stay down Han!" Jyp pushes Jisungs shoulders making Jisung bang his head against the bed, 

Jisung feels dizzy as he watches Jyp, breathing heavily, feeling his eyes unfocus, Jyp stands up, feeling paralysed, Jyp walks around the room, searching his room and drawers, 

The wound is still dripping blood but it has slowed down considerably, Jisung sits up, breathing heavily, feeling like he's just done an hour long workout, watching Jyp as he moves around the room, Jyp turns around holding different sizes off daggers 

Jisung quickly shuffles, moving to the other side off the bed, groaning when the skin around his wound strains, jisung stands, trying to walk away, shuffling across the floor, he limps feeling dizzy and heavy the longer he walks, weighing him down, his hands tremble as he holds onto the door handle, 

Jisung shivers feeling the shadow of Jyp behind him, jyp speaks laughing as he does, "run Hannie you won't get far in your condition", Jisung turns around and watched Jyp, his eyes widening in terror, he opens the door with trembling hands, slamming the door closed as he runs away as fast as he can, limping as he leans on the wall, he gasps at the pressure his wound, looking behind him to see Jyp walking behind him holding the daggers, 

Jisung trips over his own feet, crashing to the ground, Jisung groans as his wound hits the ground making it sting, and ache, Jisung looks behind him seeing Jyp closely walking behind him, Jisung tries to stand, putting his feet under himself but he slips, on the trail off his blood behind him, hitting his jaw off the floor making him cry out, feeling a bruise already forming there, Jisung tries to crawl away, his hands cawling into the ground to crawl away 

Jisung feels hands grab onto his ankles, dragging him across the floor making him cry out in pain as his skin rips around his wound, Jyp drags Jisung across the floor by his ankles as Jisung cries, trying to grab onto anything to hold onto, 

Jyp flips Jisung around onto his back as tears pool down his cheeks, Jisung feels like prey in the lions den, he hates that feeling, he never wants to feel like that again, he's felt like that too many times, Jisung kicks Jyp legs feeling Jyp fall down to his knees in front off him, 

There is a loud noise, cries off pain and loud noise off footsteps and running, Jyp gets momentarily distracted, turning away from Jisung and Jisung quickly takes his dagger out off his sleeve, groaning as he sits up, stabbing jyp in the stomach 

Jyp groans, blood pouring out off the wound already, Jisung twists the knife making Jyp cry out in pain, howling, Jisung hears the running footsteps coming closer as jyp launches at Jisung in the process forcing the dagger deeper in his stomach but he doesn't seem to care as he grabs one off his daggers stabbing it right through Jisung wound, the blade only stopping when it gets stopped by Jisungs bone, 

Jisung cries out in pain, feeling more tears escape his eyes, he gasping in pain feeling the metal scrape against his bone, Jisungs sucking in breaths, whimpering in pain, feeling sweat drip down his neck, 

Jisung feels the weight off Jyp get pulled off him, he cries out as the dagger moves in his thigh but doesn't get pulled out, Jisung looks through hooded eyes seeing Hyunjin looking over Jisung worried, Jisung feels sweat build on his temple at the pain, as he scrunches up his face, Hyunjin wraps his hand around Jisungs hand, speaking softly to Jisung, "Hey Sungie you're going to be fine, we'll just need to leave the dagger in, ok?", Jisung can hardly concentrate on what Hyunjin is saying, can hardly think about anything but the pain, whimpering 

Jisung nods, chuckling wetly, he feels cold, hes starting to feel dizzy again, "where's Minho?"" He surls from pain 

Hyunjin looks angry his brow scrunching together in anger, "him and Jeongin are dealing with Jyp" 

Jisung nods, closing his eyes as more tears escape from his eyelids, Hyunjin grabs hold off Jisung head, speaking nervously, "Hey Jisung stay awake!," when Jisung finally opens his eyes again Hyunjin starts rambling, speaking so fast in Jisung delirious mind he can hardly keep up, "Jisung you do remember me- right- I- I-i was you're mentor you re-remember!?" 

Jisung nods sluggishly, fighting to keep his eyes open, "ye-yeah I remember", 

Jisung feels like his head is full off cotton from the pain, making what Hyunjin is saying sound like white noise to Jisung, the only thing keeping him awake is the terrified face off Hyunjin 

Jisung sees more people walking over to him, seeing the faces off Minho and Jeongin, 

Minho leans closer to Jisung, Jisung seeing blood splatters on Minhos face and clothes, Minho brow is furrowed, making wrinkles appear on his face, looking worried, "Jagi I thought you promised to not get hurt" 

Jisung smiles weakly, slurring as he speaks, "I was never good at keeping promises baby", 

Minho grits his teeth, ripping the end off his robe, Minho speaks softly to Jisung, "I'm going to bandage your wound up, but until we get to the medic, I will need to keep the blade in, is that ok Jagiya?", Jisung nods, mumbling incoherently,

Minho wraps the cloth around Jisungs wound, seeing blood splotches appear on the cream clothe, leaning down to pick Jisung up bridal style, making Jisung groan in pain, scrunching his face up, 

Jisung sees Jeongin hold a knocked out Jyp, or maybe he's dead? Jisung tucks his head into Minhos neck, feeling Minho move quickly 

Jisung feels his eyes close, whimpering in pain, Minho speaks calmly to Jisung, "stay awake Jagi" 

Jisung mumbles, shaking his head against Minhos head, he opens his hooded eyes trying to focus on Minho to keep himself awake, feeling Minhos strong arms around his chest and lower back, focusing on Minhos face, seeing Minho jaws, over the top off his fluttering eyes 

Jisung feels his cheeks heat up as he watches Minhos jaw clench and unclench, 

Jisung shivers at the outside air, when they finally get outside, when he first came it was humid and warm, but now he just feels cold as he shivers in Minhos cold, he feels disorientated as he watches the world move around him, feeling disassociated from his body, 

Jisung tucks tighter into Minho hold to get warmth from Minhos body heat, Minho holds tighter onto Jisung, talking to one off the soldiers beside him about the invasion, 

Minho takes his cloak lined with fur and wraps it around Jisung, Minho speaks softly to Jisung, "try to stay awake Jagi, we're going to get on a horse and ill try to get you to the Palace as fast as I can", 

Jisung nods weakly against Minhos neck, rubbing his face against Minhos neck, Jisung hears Minho speak softy to him, "Jagiya I'm going to hand you to Hyunjin while I get onto the horse and then I'll lift you, is that ok Jagi?" 

Jisung nods sluggishly against Minhos neck, "yeah", he speaks slurring 

Minho hands Jisung over to Hyunjin, Jisung whining softly in pain, feeling cold swear roll down his forehead, Hyunjin strokes Jisung hair, humming a soft tune, Jisung recognises the tune, feeling tears trick at his eyes, tears pouring down his face, 

That's the song his mum used to sing to him when he couldn't sleep, he only told Hyunjin about it when they were both being human trafficked and Jisung wouldn't sleep because of fear of the soldiers and then when Hyunjin couldn't sleep Jisung singed it to Hyunjin 

Jisung feels himself be passed over to Minho again, feeling Minho manhandle his legs into position, Jisungs back to Minhos chest,  Minho moves his foot to hit the horse on the side, swishing the reigns and the horse starts in a fast gallop, galloping down the road, 

Jisung feels himself get dizzy with the wind, whipping in his face, making the blood on his hands dry rapidly, Jisung feels his ears buzz, popping at the speed, making his head fall forward drowsly, Jisung feels his eyes navigate to his wound, seeing more blood sink into the cloth making the cloth red in some bits 

Jisung feels tired, he nearly slumps, falling closer to the horse, he nearly falls sideways off the horse If I wasn't for one of Minhos hands wrapping around Jisungs chest, holding him up, 

Minho speaks up, having to raise his voice a bit over the blowing, slapping winds, "Jagiya you ok?" 

Jisung speaks slurring his words, his voice so small and soft it almost gets lost in the wind, "b-baby I'm fine" "--jus- feelin- tired", 

Minho speaks up again, "we're nearly here Jagiya, just hold on", 

Jisung feels his head fall backwards on Minhos chest, feeling Minhos heart pound faintly, 

When we finally get at the palace, Minho hops off the horse, lifting Jisung off it, Minho hands the reigns to a servant, quickly walking away with Jisung in his hands 

When we get to the medic, she already has a bed ready, getting bandages and tonics ready by her desk, she gasps when she sees me and Minho, speaking quickly and dashing around the room, 

She points to a already made bed and says, "set him over there Emperor", 

Minho moves over to the bed, setting Jisung onto the bed, 

The medic walks over to the bed, holding bandages and tonics, "Emperor we need to remove the dagger, it looks like it gone all the way through to the bone so it's going to be painful", she hands Minho a square leather, "its for him to bite onto, I can't give any pain medication until we get the dagger out", 

Minho speaks softly to Jisung, stroking his hair, "Jagiya open your mouth", Jisung sluggishly opens his eyes, opening his mouth Minho puts the leather in Jisungs mouth, 

Minho strokes Jisung hair as Jisung cries out, feeling sweat drip down his face as the medic rips the dagger out off his thigh, making blood pour out faster, in seconds saturating the cloth turning it red, 

Jisung feels tears pour down his face as he sobs, whining in the back off his throat, Minho strokes Jisung hair, speaking soft encouragements to Jisung 

The woman speaks again, "I'm going to clean the wound and then I can stitch it back up," 

Minho speaks nervously to the woman, "Can you give him something for the pain?, I hate seeing him like this", 

The woman nods, picking up the needle and thread, pointing to a cylinder with with a liquid in it, "inject that into his inner thigh", as she speaks she cuts off the bottom off Jisungs robe, 

Minho injects the pain killer into Jisungs inner thigh making Jisung head spin at the feeling, the woman removes the cloth covering Jisungs wound, wiping the wound down, and spraying it down, Jisung whines in his throat, feeling Minho stroke his hair, his body is starting to become numb, he can't feel anything, only the stroke off Minhos hand on his hair, 

The woman stitches up the wound, quickly, wiping the excess blood before putting a bandage over the wound, the woman's bows, "I'll leave you and Sir Han by yourself just call if you need help, I have my apprentice looking after Sir Bang in his room, thank you Emperor", the woman's walks put leaving Jisung and Minho alone 

Jisung looks at Minho with hooded eyes, hearing Minho speak softly as he strokes Jisungs hair, "go to sleep Jagi", 

Jisung speaks tiredly to Minho, feeling all his energy has been drained, "did the mission succeed?" 

Minho smiles, "Jagiya you don't need to worry about that, rest, so you can heal" 

Jisung hums, closing his eyes and falling asleep, Minho strokes Jisungs hair as he sleeps 

..

Felix wips the blood off his cheek, in the process, spreading it over his face more, he smiles as he hears the screams off the gang around him, hearing Changbin fight off the men around him, Felix stabs the man that he has been fighting, him falling down as he dies

Most off the gang is dead, only the cowards are left the ones that ran and hide when everyone else was being slaughtered 

Felix watches as Changbin breaks the neck of the last member and Felix runs to him wrapping his arms around Changbins neck, hugging him, Changbin hugs back smiling, kissing the tip off Felixs nose as they smile widely 

Felix speaks softly to Changbin, smiling as he speaks, "we should go back to the Palace, to celebrate, see how Minho and Jisung done and the rest off the core", 

Felix kisses Changbin as Changbin nods into Felixs kiss, lifting Felix and swinging him around 

Felix and Changbin both walk hand in hand out off the base, walking down the streets of Rome to the Palace 

...

Hyunjin runs to Seungmin as soon as he walks through the gates, running into his arms and kissing him, Hyunjin has tears running down his face, as he trembles in Seungmins hold

Seungmin holds tighter onto Hyunjin, rubbing his sides as he trembles, "Baby what happened are you ok!?" Seungmin says nervously 

Hyunjin sighs, feeling tears roll down his face onto Seungmin shirt, he speaks wetly, "Jisung got hurt", his voice breaks at the end, 

Seungmin strokes Hyunjin sides, kissing Hyunjin shoulder, "is he ok?", Seungmin says thickly with worry 

Hyunjin nods, "he's in the medical ward with Minho and Minho said he should make a full recovery but I was holding him in my hands as he bled, he remembers me Minnie", Hyunjin shudders at the end, trembling 

Seungmin wipes Hyunjin tears kissing his cheeks, speaking softly to him, "Jinnie you're fine, Jisungs fine, everyone will be fine and it's a good thing Jisung remembers you, isn't it?" 

Hyunjin nods as he cries into Seungmins shoulder 

..

Chan slowly wakes up, finally feeling coherent, his head isn't aching anymore, he sits up, feeling shuffling In the room, the other medic is walking over to Chan, smiling as he moves closer, the medic hands Chan a vial saying, "drink it Sir Bang, its to flush the posion out off your system, in the next day yoy should be fine to go" 

Chan downs the vial, scrunching his face up in disgust at the taste 

Chan speaks, looking around to see he's in Jeongin and his room, "Where is Jeongin Doctor?" 

The doctor looks around the room nervously, rubbing the back off his neck, 

Chan speaks directly to the docter, looking at him coldly, "where the hell is he!?" He raises his voice slightly 

The doctor flinches his eyes widening, "the Emperor warned me not to tell you, he didn't want you to feel unnecessarily stressed" he stutters near the end in nervousness 

Chan eyes widen, feeling his pulse quick, "what are they doing!!?!, where is he!!?" Chan sits up, going to get off the bed, Chan winces, holding onto his chest in pain, 

The doctor floats closer to Chan, speaking softly to him, but his eyes still look nervous, "I need you to calm down sir, and lay back down", the doctor says as he pushes Chan gently down by his shoulders, "try and relax Sir, they should be back soon", as soon as he's finished his sentence the door flings open and Jeongin enters, blood splatters on his face and clothes 

The doctor bows too Jeongin and walks out hurriedly 

Chan sits up, his face morphing into panic, his face paling, "Jeongin!! Where were you!?, are you hurt!?" 

Jeongin shakes his head, sitting down on the bed beside Chan, taking Chans head in his palm, "we gone to destroy Jyps gang and Jyp himself" 

Chan eyes widen, taking trembling hands to hold Jeongins cheek, wiping the blood off his face, Chans voice trembles as he speaks, "is Jyp dead?" 

Jeongin shakes his head, speaking darkly, sighing as he does, "no but he will be soon, he stabbed Jisung, he's in the medical wing now with Minho", 

Chan kisses Jeongins cheek, "lets go see him", 

Jeongin laughs sounding more like a sigh from his chest, "Chan no, you're In bed rest, I know you worry but you need to get better first before you're thrown back to having to worrying about other people and to your unhealthy life style of work work work all day and all night", Jeongin laughs at the end 

Chan sighs, hanging his head up, "I know you worry about me but I-I-" Chan sighs, groaning, Jeongin smiles playfully, pushing Chan to lag back down, "lay down sweetheart", he laughs at the end 

Chan blushes, laying back down, sighing as he does, 

Jeongin smiles, "you can relax for a day, sweetheart it won't kill you", 

Chan blushes brighter, looking at Jeongin over his eyelashes, "stay with me Innie" He smiles weakly, already feeling tired

Jeongin smiles, laying down beside Chan, wrapping his arms around Chans waist, Jeongin kisses the back of Chans neck, and Chan relaxes against Jeongin hold, feeling himself fall asleep, 

...

Minho strokes Jisungs hair as he sleeps, watching Jisungs chest raise and fall, 

Chapter Text

Chan spreads the food rations out thin, trying to leave Hannah and Lucas with a full plate, even if that only leaves him with 1/4 off his plate full, Hannah and Lucas are the only ones left in his life, there the only ones who matter, his feet feel numb from standing for so long, he has been working for so long, for the past 2 days he's been working in the factory, he only feels bad that he had to leave Hannah to look after Lucas for so long, 

Chan has a couple off hours left until his next job, he can eat with Hannah and Lucas, then hopefully have some sleep, if his brain will only shut down to allow him too 

They have been living in this abandoned warehouse for 2 years, it gets really cold in the winter, and Chan also has less food left for him because he has to spend extra money on blankets and fire wood to try and get the place hot enough for Hannah and Lucas 

Hannah is 7 and Lucas is 5 I need them to be protected, safe, warm, not going hungry or working days on end, I just hope by the time Lucas is school age, I will have enough money to send him, I already in my free time try to teach both of them how to read and write but his knowledge is limited, he only had 3 years off education before his parents got killed and Chan couldn't go to school anymore 

Chan hears footsteps running to him, crashing into his legs, four hands grabbing onto his legs, Chan hears lucas and Hannah, shout, he hears them smiling as they speak, "Channie!! Your back!"

Chan feels warmth spread into his chest, as he turns around, leaning down to hug both Hannah and Lucas, smiling widely, this is why he does this, to protect Hannah and Lucas, to know that hes the reason they can smile so freely, he lives for them, Chan kisses both of there cheeks, ruffling there hair, 

Lucas smile brightens, "big brother!!!, lift me, lift me!!" He chants, shouting 

Hannah scowls playfully, "no big brother lift me!!!" 

Chan laughs, his eyes turning into crescents, "don't worry!!, I can lift both off you!" 

Chan smiling, lifting Hannah and Lucas in either off his arms, standing up, moving around in circles, spinning them around, making them squeal in joy, 

Chan walks, lifting them to there makeshift dinning room, the table, is this metal sheet that I found  I tried to making little soft seats around the table, of the blankets we don't use in the hotter months 

Chan sets them both down, them moaning, shouting, "Channie lift us!! Lift us!!" 

Chan smiles, "I'm just going to get your food" 

Chan walks away, grimacing when he's finally in a different room from Hannah and Lucas, his muscles are burning from lifting all them heavy products in the factory, 

He quickly lifts the plates, bringing them to the dinning room, he sets the plates down, sitting down In front off his, quickly eating, his food, he's hardly had anything over the past 2 days, only some bread one off the other worker gave him after they noticed he had been working for 36 hours 

The food is gone before he even has time to process it, he feels the loss of it, his stomach still feeling empty, but he smiles anyway, reminding himself why he has to live like this, for his siblings 

Chan wants to spend more time with his siblings, he wants to know what they did, what games they played together, what food they ate that he left out for them, how they slept, if they had any dreams and what they were about, but he needs to sleep before his shift, 

He only has less than 5 hours before it, he needs to be fresh and rested for it, he gets up, kissing Hannah and Lucas on the forehead, wishing them goodnight as he walks to his bedroom, well he sleeps on cardboard, and the one blanket that Hannah forced him to have, saying that it would protect him, saying that she wanted him to have it, and that was it, he couldn't have his sister feeling sad, so he kept it 

Chan lays down, curling up into a ball, wrapping his hands into the blanket, curling his hands into fists around it, he closes his eyes tightly trying to force himself to sleep,

He feels himself losing consciousness, falling asleep,

He gets startled awake by voices 

Hannah and Lucas walking quietly, in hushing voices, Chan hears Hannah speak, "shhh shhh shhh Lucas!, Channie sleeping!!," Chan hears more shuffling and them Lucas falls through the door, grabbing onto Hannah as he crashes into the room 

Chan opens his eyes slowly, feeling like he in a daze, he feels groggy sitting up, raising an eyebrow, "Lucas, Hannah what are you doing in here?" Chan speaks, his voice sounding rough with sleep, frowns slightly, worried that something happened 

Lucas looks nervous, shifting from foot to foot, Chan stands up, blinking his eyes slowly, leaning down on his knees in front off Lucas, he spokes softly, "hey buddy, why are you not asleep?" Chans eyes widen as he sees tear marks on Lucass cheeks, Chan rubs Lucas face, "buddy why are you crying?" 

Chan watches as more tears fall from Lucass eyes, Chans a horrible brother, is Lucas dealing with something?, he wouldn't know, he's never at home long enough to even know 

Lucas speaks up his voice trembling, "I ha-had a night-nightmare" 

Chan closes his eyes in relief, he can deal with this, breathing deeply through his nose, he opens his eyes again, smiling at Lucas brightly, "do you wanna sleep with me?, I'll protect you" 

Lucas nods shyly, Chan holds Lucas hand, holding Hannahs hand with his other, Chan kisses Lucass hand, standing up and walking over to the "bed", he lays down, wrapping his arms around Lucas and Hannah, feeling them falling asleep, him falling suit 

...

Chan is getting back from the factory, he had a shorter shift this time only 20 hours and he got breaks every five hours, it was one of his best shifts yet, he walks to the warehouse, carrying bags off food, and more blankets and toys for Hannah and Lucas, even if there small, 

Chan sees the door, it is slightly ajar, the door handle is broken, hanging limply, swinging in the air, Chan opens the door, looking around in panic, his eyes widening, 

No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no

This can't happen again, Chan feels panic settle at the pit off his stomach, a lump raising in his throat, Chan runs around the warehouse, shouting Hannah and Lucas names as he runs, he hears faint crying, running to the sound off it, he turns a corner, seeing Hannah crying, slumped by the wall, 

Hannah eyes widen as he sees Chan, a sob escaping her throat, Chan feels someone grab onto him, pulling him backwards by his collar, making him trip backwards, the bags falling, the food inside them tipping out, 

Chan sees Lucas, a man holding him, a gun to his head, Chan gasps as he sees Lucas, he has blood dripping down his head from his forehead, Chan feels himself get pushed against a wall, a angry man pushing him against his face, speaking angrily at him, "you think you can get away from me so easily Bang heir!!! I promised to wipe out the whole Bang line for what your parents did!!, they betrayed me!!!" 

The man wraps his hand around Chans neck, tightening his hold on him, Chan gasps, scrambling his hands to hold onto the mans hands, the man laughs manically, "but its fun to play with you and your sibling, my men have been watching you, seeing how hard you work, how you work yourself to death every night", 

Chans gasps, his throat bobbing as he tries to swallow over the mans hand, his jaw tensing, Chan speaks panicking, "please what do you wa-want ill give you an-anything!!" 

The man laughs, speaking mimicly, "anything!?? Really?" He laughs, Chan squeezes his eyes shut, trembling in the mans hold, the man laughs again, "aww are you scared?" He speaks mimicly, smiling widely 

The man throws Chan by his neck, over beside Hannah, Chan falling into hannahs side, putting his hands out behind his body, a bruise forming on his throat already, Chan brings a hand up to his neck, massaging his neck, 

Chan gasps, breathing heavily through his mouth, Chan holds grasping onto Hannahs hand, 

The man goes up to lucas taking the gun from the other man, kicking Lucas in the side, making Lucass sobs increase, Chans eyes widen, 

Chan tries to sit up, another man pushing him back down, Chan hears Hannah crying beside him, her holding onto her face, trying to hide her tears 

Chan feels a sob get stuck in his throat, tears filling his eyes, he blinks them away quickly, his face closing off as he hides his feelings, 

Chan flinches as he hears a loud bang turning round to see Lucas brains and blood get blown over the wall, speckles off the blood flying and landing on Chans face, Chan feels all the blood leave his face, he feels frozen, he distantly hears sobbing and crying but he doesn't feel real, he watches the world move on feeling like he's watching but not actually there, every sound feels underwater, like theres water clogging his ears, 

Chan feels himself get pulled up by his arm, he also feels something cold, metal getting pushed up his sleeve, Chan finally feels himself coming back, his head getting bashed against the wall, he feels the sound blend together, ringing loudly, as the mans face crowds into him, smiling, 

Chan grabs onto the metal, dragging it up to the mans neck, blinding thrusting it into the man, the man gasping, blood shooting out off his neck, Chan eyes widen looking up, seeing that he has a dagger, 

Hannah, she handed to him, 

Chan hears three loud bangs, making him flinch, his heart pounding in his chest, Chan pushes the man to the ground, looking around Wilding, seeing Hannah drenched in blood the three other men, collapsed to the ground, Chan runs over to Hannah, feeling silent tears run down his face, Chan holds onto Hannahs face, feeling blood onto his hands, "Han-Hannah are you ok?" He says, his body trembling 

Hannah nods, the sound of her dropping the gun vibrating through the room, Chan flinches again at the sound, wiping Hannahs face with his sleeve, 

Hannah is vibrating, her face is blank, she must be in shock 

Chan looks around seeing Lucas, Chan feels his lip wobble, biting his lip as tears roll down his face, Chan walks trembling over to Lucas, his hands trembling as he does, his legs wobble, threatening to buckle the closer he gets to Lucas or what's left off him 

Chan looks behind him, seeing Hannah still frozen, even though she's covered in blood, Chan can see that she is deathly pale behind it, the blood dripping down her face 

Chan falls down to his knees in front off Lucas, taking what's left off his face in his hands, feeling tears pool out off his eyes down his face, he feels sobs wreck his body as he cries, his body trembling with the force off it 

Chan feels small, soft, sticky hands hold onto his arm, Hannah speaking in a soft voice, "Channie Hyung- 

Hannahs voice changes flicking over, blending with another voice, one he distantly recognises, whispering, saying, "Channie Hyung, sweetheart, wake up", 

Chan feels a headache start, scrunching his eyes shut, He feels hands stroke his face, stroking his hair, his head feels fuzzy, Chan feels sweaty, his body feeling achy, Chan opens his eyes, coming face to face with Jeongin, 

Jeongin smiles brightly at Chan, speaking softly to him, "how are you sweetheart?" Chan nods slowly, feeling confused as he watched Jeongin, his face scrunches up, a wrinkle showing inbetween his brows, feeling sweat drip down his forehead, he feels tears fill his eyes making him dip his head to hide his tears, his face flushes in embarrassment, making him feel even more hot and stuffy than he already does, 

Chan feels himself choke on a sob, his hands trembling slightly, Chan head still feels fuzzy, like cotton is in it, Jeongins hands grab onto his face, pulling his face up, Jeongin wipes Chans tears, smiling softly at him, "sweetheart please talk to me" 

Chan nods slowly, feeling a lump build in his throat, his chest feeling pressurised,  "I was- I was dreaming about my-my brother Luc-Lucas, Jeongin I'm sorry, I lied to you, Lucas didn't die from starvation, my-my family they were Bahng family empire, the-the gang and they made lots of en-enemies and after they-they died, people came for me and my-my sibling to kill-kill us and they killed my bro-brother and Hannah kill-killed them" 

He should have protected his siblings, Lucas died and Chan couldn't even protect Hannah, Hannah had to protect herself and me 

Chan feels tears fall from his eyes, some getting stuck on his eyelashes, Jeongin eyes widen, his voice sounding choppy and different, "does Minho know?" 

Chan nods, feeling a lump build up in his throat, he might have been cut off from society at a young age but he's not dumb enough to know his family wasn't exactly saints, they hurt people, killed people, maybe it was just karma with what happened to me, maybe I deserved it 

Chan feels tears fill his eyes, Chan swings his legs off the side off the bed, 

Jeongin speaks up then, "sweetheart where are you going?" 

Chan eyes widen slightly as he looks at Jeongin, swinging his head, "I thought you wanted me to leave", "I'm not dumb, I know what my parents were, they were monsters they hurt people, I wouldn't blame you", 

Jeongin sighs, shaking his head, "Channie! How many times do I have to tell you, I love you!! I love you for you!, I don't care who your parents are!" 

Chan nods feeling tears fill his eyes, he sits back down on the bed, swinging his legs back so he's sitting facing Jeongin, Chan holds his hands out, holding onto Jeongin, "innie'yah I'm sorry, I haven't been good to yo-" 

Jeongin shakes his head, cutting Chan off on his speech, "Channie you need to stop worrying, you're dealing with alot, obviously more than you have been telling me" 

Chan lowers his face in embarrassment, Chan speaks his voice trembling, sounding hesitant, "that doesn't excuse the way I was neglecting you," 

Jeongin sighs, "it doesn't, but I love you and I know your busy" 

Chan nods, humming, he still feels weak from the posion, Chan feels Jeongins arm wrap around his waist, dragging him back down to bed, Jeongin kisses Chans temple, Chan relaxes his head against Jeongins shoulder, 

Chan feels his eyes blurr over as he turns around to look at Jeongin, smiling as he does, Jeongin strokes Chans hair, kissing his forehead, Chan opens his mouth to speak but nothing comes out his muscles in his face feels weak, like he can't control his tongue, Chans eyes widen, trying to clench his jaw but he can't move it, this must be a side effect from the posion, tears fill Chans eyes, 

Chan feels Jeongin hold onto Chans face, smiling softly at him, but Chan can tell there's nervousness in his eyes, Chan feels his eyes droop, his head falling to rest on Jeongins chest

Jeongin massages Chan head, making Chan  sigh softly, the strength finally returns to Chan, his jaw moving, he still surls over his words, "I love you Jeongin" 

Jeongin hands work harder massaging Chans head, "love you too Channie" 

Chans feels his eyes close, his hand gripping tightly onto Jeongins shirt 

Jisung wakes up slowly, his ears buzzing as he wakes up, Jisung feels warm, feeling a heartbeat behind his head, Jisung sighs as he wakes up, rubbing his lips against eachother, his mouth feeling dry and sticky as he tries to sit up, groaning, he feels pain shoot down and up his thigh, making him scrunch his face up, 

Jisung feels arms tighten around his waist, moving him to lay back down, Jisung whines, rubbing his face against the mans chest, Wait? Chest? Jisung shoots up, feeling arms loosely wrapped around him, Jisung looks at two eyes, seeing Minho, 

Minho face slowly changes into a smile 

Jisung smiles at Minho, and Minho pinches Jisungs cheeks, 

Jisung laughs, his chest shaking as he does, Jisung eyebrows pinch together as more pain shoots up his thigh, Minho manhandles Jisung to the side off the bed, not laying on Minhos chest anymore, 

Jisung looks down at his thigh, seeing cream bandages wrapped around it, he doesn't have anything covering his legs, only tiny shorts that only to down to his inner thigh, Jisungs eyes travel to the rest off his body and on his torso he's wearing this fancy robe with red intricate designs that only goes up to his hips, the torso off the robe looking tailored as it wraps tightly around his waist, but not too tight it hurts 

Jisung feels someone lightly hold onto his calf, lifting his leg up and leaning his heel on a pillow, some off the pressure on his thigh dissappears,  

Jisung looks up watching Minho settle himself on Jisung side, holding onto Jisungs hand, kissing his fingers one by one as he speaks, "how are you feeling Jisung?" 

Jisung nods, closing his eyes slowly as he focuses on the feeling off Minho soft lips touching Jisungs palm, "I'm fine, my thigh just aches a bit", Minho hums against Jisungs hand, 

Jisung opens his eyes, slowly, catching Minhos eyes, "how's Chan?" 

Minho smiles, "Chans good, he's with Jeongin" 

Jisung nods his head, "Jeongin and Chan are dating aren't they?" He says scrunching his eyes up 

Minho hums nodding, "yeah" Minho softly smiles as he speaks, 

Jisung sighs softly, stroking his arms as he watches Minho, 

Jisung scratches his arms, sitting up, resting his back against the headboard, 

Minho speaks calmly, wrapping one off his arms around Jisungs shoulder, Jisung rests his head on Minhos shoulder, Minho kisses Jisungs cheek, making Jisung smile, blush fanning the top off his cheekbones, 

"What do you wanna do Minho-hyung?" Jisung asks 

"Well Jagiya do you think you can do anything with your thigh?" Minho speaks teasingly 

Jisung speaks dramatically, "Hey!, I can, it's not that sore" 

Minho raises his eyebrows, "I didn't think you had a Bang Chan complex", speaking teasingly 

Jisung eyebrows scrunch up, "a Bang Chan complex??" 

Minho smiles, "hide your problems, think your fine when your not, everything like that" 

Jisung groans playfully, sighing dramatically, "I don't do that!" 

Minho face changes to serious but Jisung can tell there some playful and sneakiness flashing in his eyes, "ok Jagi, whatever you think" 

Jisung feels strong hands grab onto his waist, holding onto the back off his hips, Jisung himself be lifted up, being turned upside down, and suddenly he's seeing a back and the floor, 

Jisung feels hands tighten around his waist, the body he's laying over moving, walking around the halls of the palace 

After a while off walking Minho finally seems to get to his destination, stopping and lifting Jisung up, setting Jisung down to sit down 

We're at a pond, green trees and bushes, outline the pond, Lily pads and flowers growing on the pond, Jisung gasps at how beautiful it is, the bright hot sun reflecting off the pond, making Jisung squint his eyes, the birds are softly chirping in the background , 

Jisung turns around, his head wiping over to look over at Minho, Minho smiling fondly and softly at Jisung, 

Jisung smiles, his cheeks bunching up, "Minho its beautiful baby", Jisung speaks softly, his voice full of joy and excitement 

Minho ears flush, and Minho speaks chuckling softly at the end in nervousness, "I'm glad you like it Jagi, Jeongin he designed it the first time he moved into the palace" 

Jisung smile widens,  "when did he move here?" 

"When he was 6, but enough of my cousin, that's not why I brought you here Jagi", Minho speaks smiling lovingly 

Jisung gasps , "what!?? Jeongins your cousin!?" 

Minho chuckles, his chest raising and falling in laughter, "I thought you knew, he's the only one who has the guts or strength to speak up to me", "its refreshing, everyone always tells me what they think I want to hear, and he- he just-" 

Minho sighs, shaking his hand through his hair, clearing his throat, "I mistreat my friends, especially Chan, he works so hard for me, and I just- after he got poisoned I feel like it's half my fault, I should have noticed something was wrong, or af least not over worked him" 

Jisung grasps onto Minhos hands, leaning into Minho, "baby- you- I know I'm new here, that I don't know enough about Chan or any of you, but Chan seems to over work himself not doing it because off you, and you could have never known what Chan was going through" 

Minho smiles softly, "Jisungie, I want you to be able to tell me when I'm wrong, put me in my place, be with me when I need you, and I'll do you same for you, I know I'm moving fast but I just can't wait," 

"I want us to be able to spend the rest off are lives together Jagiya", 

Jisung gasps, his eyes widening as he sees Minho pull out a ring from his pocket 

The ring is made of pure gold with carvings down the sides, the gem is a red in the middle, sparkling in the sun, https://images.app.goo.gl/18ETG1Q9G5a5REkw7

Jisung feels tears fill his eyes as he brings his hand up to his mouth in shock, stuttering over his words, "Minho what?, you- you-" 

Minho smiles chuckling, "is that a yes?" 

Jisung nods, "Yes! Yes it's a yes!" 

Minho smiles, softly kissing Jisung 

jisung kisses back, holding Minhos face as he does 

Minho kisses back more fiercely, holding the back off Jisungs neck as he sucks into Jisungs lips, biting his lips,

Minho holds onto the ring, delicately putting it onto Jisungs ring finger and putting his own onto his, Jisung moans into Minhos mouth, Jisung bites Minhos lips back, making Minho groan

Minho rests his hands onto Jisungs hips, his finger digging into Jisung skin seeping through the robe as he moves his hands over Jisung bare skin, making Jisung sigh, moaning softly into Minhos mouth, Jisung feels Minho lean forward, pushing on Jisungs chest, 

Jisung lays down on his back, spreading his legs apart, making room for Minho to sit down inbetween his legs, Minho moves his mouth down, sucking Jisung jaw, Jisung sighs softly, his chest rising and falling in a fast motion, Jisung moves his hands across Minhos back, gripping onto Minhos shirt, pulling Minho up to his mouth,  

Jisung bites Minho bottom lip, sucking on his lip, Minho gasps, moaning into Jisung mouth, Minho opens his mouth, Jisung putting his tongue into Minhos mouth, Jisung moves his tongue around Minhos mouth, feeling Minhos tongue move around his, making Jisung flush, his cheeks turning bright red, 

Minho bites Jisung lips, Minho moving his hands up higher over Jisung torso, Minho squeezes Jisung nipples, making Jisung moan breathily into Minhos mouth, Minho slips his tongue deeper into Jisungs mouth, sucking Jisungs lips as he does 

Jisung moans into Minhos mouth, moving his head to the side, breathing deeply as his chest raises and falls rapidly, gasping with every breath, as Minho pinches Jisungs nipples, fanning his hot breath over his neck, biting hardly onto the soft bit off his neck, 

Jisung whines loudly, deeply in his throat, tears filling the corners off his eyes, Minho tongue laps over the now blooming bite mark on Jisungs neck, 

Jisung whines in his throat in oversensitivity, his thigh is starting to throb faintly, he feels something hot on his thigh and he strains his neck, looking over at his thigh, seeing blood splotches appearing on his bandage, slowly growing in size 

Jisung scrunched his eyebrows up, Minhos eyes widening, he groans, "shit! We popped the stitches" 

Minho lifts Jisung up over his shoulder making Jisung feel dizzy from Minhos strength, or maybe because the pain seems to be growing 

Minho walks quickly back to the Palace, Jisungs shivers in Minhos hold, making Minho tighten his hold on Jisung, 

Minho sets Jisung down are there bed, stroking Jisungs hair, speaking calmly, "I'll get the medic Jagi" 

Jisung nods slowly, biting his lip, his lip feels swollen, as Minho walks away, Jisung looks down at his hand, looking at the ring, its beautiful, even more up close, the jewel glistens in the faint light coming from the window, the gold band also shining in the light 

The medic arrives soon after, bringing cleaning gear, bandages and some stitching, she quickly sits down, unwrapping the bandages, she speaks calmly, "looks like you only pops one stitch so I'll work quickly, you shouldn't need any pain killers I'll just spray it down", she takes out a bottle, spraying down the wound, quickly stitching the corner off the wound back up, wrapping the wound in gauze and then a clean set off cream bandages 

She smiles softly, her eyes widening when she sees the ring and then she moves looking over at Minho seeing the ring on his finger, she stands up quickly, bowing to Jisung and Minho, speaking softly, "congratulations" and she walks away quickly, holding all of her equipment 

Minho lays back down beside Jisung, taking hold off his finger, smiling, kissing Jisung cheek 

"I love you Jagi" 

"I love you too Baby" 

Chapter Text

Jisung kneels down, feeling Minhos fingers curl around his palm, holding softly onto his hand, Jisungs robes flutter, curling softly around his figure, the gold designs and thred glistening in the soft evening sunlight coming from the window, he feels separated from everything around him, turning around to see Minho smiling softly at him, The soft sound off people speaking and aweing around them 

Jisung blushes softly, his breath hitching in his throat, as his eyes search Minhos face, Jisung smiling at him as he does, gulping as he looks around from where hes kneeling, 

There's so many people, watching us, from noble ladies, men on the council, diplomats from various countries, and common people alike, all of them are here, together, under one roof, to see Jisung and Minho 

Jisung feels the hands tighten around his palms, making him flinch slightly, turning around to look back at Minho, Jisung eyes turning soft as he watches Minho 

We were engaged for a year, it was an amazing year but people had alot to say about how long the time period was, saying things like, "why are they waiting so long?", "do they really love eachother?" "Did you here about his past?" "Is that why they're waiting?" So many rumours spreading around 

But we didn't care, Minho kept Jisung focused on what really mattered, eachother, that's the only thing that mattered and we done alot together, to beach walks to dinner dates, it was amazing, 

But the most amazing thing was we also got to learn new things about eachother, like Minho loves dancing, he's kind, sweet, he loves animals, he's nothing like what people say he is, he's not mean, not cruel, Jyp was wrong, he was always wrong and he's going to stay wrong, 

He died, he died 5 months ago, and it was rough, all the inner core agreed he needed to die, even Channie Hyung, but it still hit him hard, he didn't even come to the execution, he stayed in his and Jeongins room, 

Jeongin watched the execution, he said he did it for Chan, so if Chan ever wanted to know what happened or how it happened he could just ask, but Chan never did, he became a shell of himself for months on end 

He never left his room, he only ate when Jeongin would feed him, just staying in bed all day long, in some aspects it was a good thing or so Jisungs told, Chan got the break he deserves, he stayed wrapped around Jeongin, crying anytime he left, 

Crying, Chan cried in front of people, In front off alot of people, he's had alot of personal growth, it still takes a while for him to open up, and tell people when he's struggling, but he finally told us, the whole inner core about his past, 

Whenever Jeongin would have to leave for work, seeing as the members were spreading what Chans work would have been between them all, Changbin or Felix would come and lay beside Chan, keeping him comfort

But after nearly four months, 17 days, 2920 hours and 175200 minutes Chan finally left his room, with lots of encouragement from everyone and Hannah, he gone for a walk around the grounds with Jeongin, 

And after that day he took it slow, and left with Jeongin every other day, for walks, food and he sat in on Jeongins work, like Jeongin used to do with Chan, 

Minho and Jeongin didn't want Chan going back to work yet, for his health, he still has checkups every week for his Mercury levels, sometimes they increase or decrease, and when they increase it leaves him sore and wobbly, and the doctors not sure if his blood ever him be completely clean of the Mercury 

But now Chan is back to work, hes back to normal mostly, but hes still not working as much, but I think that's mostly because Jeongin comes and gets him for bed, taking care of him 

Jisung forces himself back into the present, thats one off the thing Minho taught him for his "anxiety", to stay out of the past and future, to just consontrate on the present 

Jisung smiles brightly at Minho, his eyes closing shut as he does, squeezing Minhos hand back 

The Officaint speaks again, "We are gathered here today to join Lee Minho, or Lee Know our great Emperor and Han Jisung in holy matrimony. Now Lee Know, say after me, Han Jisung, I promise to cherish you always, to honor and sustain you, in sickness and in health, in poverty and in wealth, and to be true to you in all things until death alone shall part us", 

Minho speaks lovingly, smiling at Jisung as he says, "now, Han Jisung, I promise to cherish you always, to honor and sustain you, in sickness and in health, in poverty and in wealth, and to be true to you in all things until death alone shall part us", 

Jisung, feels silent tears fill his eyes, blinking quickly to make them disappear, Minho smiles softly at Jisung, gripping onto Jisung hands, smiling at him 

The officiant speaks again, smiling as he does, "now Han Jisung, repeat after me, Lee Minho, I promise to cherish you always, to honor and sustain you, in sickness and in health, in poverty and in wealth, and to be true to you in all things until death alone shall part us", 

Jisung, feels tears roll down his cheeks as he watches Minho, his breath hitching as he speaks, "Lee Minho, I promise to cherish you always, to honor and sustain you, in sickness and in health, in poverty and in wealth, and to be true to you in all things until death alone shall part us", 

The officiant smiles, "now you may kiss" he says wiping a tear from his eye, he stands up, bowing as he does, standing off to the side, 

Minho smiles sweetly, holding onto Jisungs jaw, kissing him softly, hotly twirling his tongue in Jisungs mouth, Jisung gasps, moaning softly into his mouth, as he sinks into Minhos hold, sighing softly into the kiss 

The room erupts into cheers, people screaming and crying in joy

Jisung breaks away from the kiss, blush flushing the top off his cheeks as he smiles at Minho, 

Minho takes Jisungs hands in his own, kissing them softly, 

The Party after are wedding is beautiful, it's in the ball room, with a big long table full off meat, vegetables and sweet treats, everyone is talking and eating, while the inner core sits at there own table at the top of the room, Minho and Jisung sitting on watching thrones beside on eachother, as they eat and laugh 

Chan is sitting beside Jeongin resting his head on his shoulder, Jeongin kisses Chans head as Chan lazily blinks his eye lids, Chans eyes sting, the longer he keeps them open, hes really tired, sluggishly he brings his hand to his wine glass, lifting his head off Jeongins shoulder, slowly sipping his wine, Chan swirls the wine around in his mouth, 

The wine is catching up with him, making red flush the high tops off his cheeks, his pupils dilating, 

Chan hasn't slept in a couple of days, he tried too, he should have tired harder, he wanted to be refreshed for Jisung and Minhos wedding, but he-, I don't, he needed to do work, he missed alot, and he needed to keep the relations with other countries strong, even though that's more Changbin and Outer cores side of work, he is the second in command he needs to do more work than anyone else, and he just has to deal with that 

chan hopes Jeongin doesn't know what he's doing, he's goes to sleep with Jeongin but when he's sure Jeongin is in a deep sleep he sneaks out to his office and does his work and then he sneaks back to his room before Jeongin wakes up, 

Chan feels Jeongins hand wrap around the back off his head, moving his head back to rest on Jeongins shoulder, Chan sighs softly, sinking into Jeongins body, Chan feels the red on his cheeks flush brighter, his head feels light from the alcohal, buzzing with the pressure 

Jeongin wraps his arm around Chans shoulders, bringing a bit off cake to Chans mouth, Chan opens his mouth slowing for Jeongin, his tongue hanging out, Jeongin places the peice into Chans mouth, smiling at him, 

Chan smiles back, chewing as he does, Jeongin brings another small peice of cake to Chans mouth, dropping it into his mouth

Chan chews slowly, watching Jeongin through hooded eyes, Jeongin kisses Chans forehead 

They cut the cake together, the palace servants coming and carrying every peice, to every guest on the table, the cake was 4 layers, the top layer was glazed with honey, the 2 middle layers are stuffed full with various fruits like raisins, cherries, pineapple, citron and orange peel, the bottom layer is just a plain cake 

Changbin, Hyunjin, Felix and Seungmin sit together talking as the servants bring other the cake to there side acting which flavour they want, Changbin answers, "the fruit", and he points, whispering in Felix ear, making Felix blush and chuckle, "what flavour do you want Lixie?" Felix answers smiling, "honey glazed", 

Hyunjin coos at them, smiling as he does, "awww Binnie'Yah!! Aren't you going to ask what flavour I want, pretty please??" He says, his voice whining dramatically at the end 

Changbin laughs, speaking dramatically back to Hyunjin, "ohh Jinnie I'm so sorry my love!!!" Changbin makes a play off holding Hyunjin hand, and Hyunjin gasps dramatically, his other hand coming up to cover his mouth, 

Seungmin speaks up, "fruit for me and honey glazed for Hyunjin, thank you", Seungmin smiles 

Hyunjin gasps, "MINNIE!! My love you know me so well!" 

Seungmin stotic face breaks, turning into a smile, "of course I do Jinnie", Seungmin takes Hyunjins hand in his hand, moving his fingers soothingly around Hyunjins fingers 

Hyunjin smiles, squeezing Seungmins hand back 

After we're all finished eating, the music starts playing, and people start cheering and shouting at Jisung and Minho to dance, "dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!, dance!," 

Minho holds onto Jisungs hand pulling him up as Jisung whines playfully, "Mminhhho!!- siii, I don't wannnnna!" He says wiggling his eyebrows as Minho pulls him to middle of the ball room, wrapping his arms around Jisung shoulders pulling him into his chest 

Minho moves his hands from Jisungs shoulders to the dip off his waist, swaying to the music, moving jisung to do so too 

Jisung looks up at Minho, smiling at him, kissing Minho slowly as they dance, some other couples join in the dancing 

Chan and Jeongin 

Seungmin and Hyunjin 

Changbin and Felix 

Jeongyeon and Nayeon 

Chaeyoung and Mina 

Yeji and Ruyjin 

Minho kisses Jisung, sucking his lips, sighing into his mouth, speaking softly into his lips, "I love you Jisung" 

Jisung smiles against Minhos lips, speaking sweetly, "I love you too Minho" 

...

Jisung lays down, wrapping his arms around Minho, as they lay together 

Minho wraps his arms around Jisungs waist, kissing him lazily, massaging Jisungs waist as he feels Jisung gasp against his lips, nipping Minho lips as he kisses back, 

Minho crawls down the bed, pinning Jisung by his arms to the bed, climbing on top off him, Jisungs face is flushed, as he sucks in breaths, watching Minho, following him with his eyes, 

Minho smirks, patting Jisung waist, Sitting Jisung up against the headboard, pulling Jisungs robe off and dropping it on the floor, 

Jisung blushes, bringing his hands to cover his face, Minho frowns, "Jagi don't cover yourself, I want to see all of you" 

Jisung whines deep in his throat, dropping his hands, them landing limply by his sides, 

Minho smiles, "so pretty Jagi", he strokes Jisung cheek affectionately, and Jisung can't help but lean into the touch, thriving on the heat of Minho touch 

Jisung face turns into a smile as he watches Minho, 

Minho takes his own robe off quickly, dropping it to the ground beside Jisungs, 

Minho lays down beside Jisung, wrapping his arm and Jisungs now bare waist, kissing his shoulder as he tucks himself behind Jsiung, 

Whispering softly in his ear, "I love you Jagi" 

"I love you too baby", Jisung replies

TEASER 

CHAPTER ONE 

Jisung sits down on the long six seated chaise longue sofa, curling up in a ball, laying down with his back to one off the arm rests, feeling the heat from the fire in the middle off the room, 

Jisung sighs 

He had a long day, he started the day by meditating with Chan- and was it boring, 

He had to hold Chans hands, as Chan lazily held onto Jisungs hands, guiding Jisung to sit with his legs crossed, telling him to close his eyes and focus on the force swimming around them, 

In the walls, the air, in people, the people walking out side the walls, around the temple, Chans own signature in the room 

Jisung sat there focusing on the waves of force energy around him, feeling Chans spread out his force, it felt like he wrapped them in a bubble, 

Making all the noise outside muffled, 

Jisung feels his conscious being forced in deeper being separated, replaced, he doesn't feel like himself, he feels like hes floating, only distantly feeling Chans hands grip his 

Jisung feels his consciousness move deeper, until he can't even feel Chan anymore, 

But he can feel the buzzing of the force, its louder, way louder, voices scream in his head, warning him about something he can't understand 

"WATCH OUT FOR THE ONE WHO WILL CORRUPT THE FORCE!!!" 

"RUN!!" 

"RUN STUPID FORCE!!" 

"WATCH OUT FOR THE MANDALORE!!" 

"THE NIGHT WILL CORRUPT THE DAY" 

Jisung flinches as he's abruptly forced back into focus, Chans bubble popping around them, 

Chan opens his eyes, looking curiously at Jisung, as he forces in trembling gasps, sucking in breaths, 

Chan tightens his hold on Jisungs hands, speaking calmly to him, "young Padawan are you alright?" Looking deeply into Jisungs eyes 

Jisung nods, feeling his chest tremble with the rise and fall, "yea-yes Master", he says sucking in deep breaths 

Chan stands up slowly, straightening out his robes and running his hand over his jet black hair, 

Chan speaks softly, smiling down at were Jisung is sitting crossed legged, "Padawan I'm going to ask the council when your Kyper Crystal is going to be ready," "I'll drop you off with Changbin for your lesson, ok?" 

Jisung nods, standing up, walking beside Chan

then Chan dropped him off with Changbin, to train with sabers, 

Chan was talking to the council, trying to get a Kyber crystal for Jisung, and he succeeded, the next day, him and Jisung will need to spend time getting Jisung bonded with the crystal 

Chan thinks if the list inside his head for tomorrow 

- we need to meditate with it 

- the crystal will change colour depending on what is inside the jedis heart and soul 

But Han sits down on the bench in the training temple, feeling sweat drip down his back, getting trapped at the lower section of his back, soaking into his tank top, 

Jisung feels his eye lids droop down, as he watches Changbin train, cutting down the faux troopers with his blue light saber 

Blue means loyalty, stability, truth, justice, I learnt that when I first moved in with Chan 

Chan has a green light saber, which means growth, safety, harmony

Jisung wonders what colour he will get

Jisung wipes the sweat rolling down his forehead with his forearm, sighing a deep breath, if Chans force signature feels like a warm fuzzy blanket, Changbins feels like steel, strong and protective

Changbin walks over to Jisung, tucking his saber into his saber holder on his belt, picking up to faux sabers, 

Changbin smiles lazily, grabbing Jisung to stand, handing Jisung his own saber, Jisung sighs, his over grown fringe sticking to his hot sweaty forehead, 

Jisung sinks into Changbins side in fatigue, feeling Changbin rest his heavy arm over Jisungs boney shoulders, 

Jisung feels the muscles in his legs tremble with the force off keeping himself up, 

Changbin smiles at Jisung, there forces buzzing together, mixing in the air around them, 

Jisungs force feels light and fluttery, light like water, mixing with the strong steel of Changbins 

Changbin is strong very strong, he has even more muscles than Chan, and Chan was a shock when Jisung first saw him 

In Tatooine, no one has fat, let alone muscles, 

Nearly everyone is on the verge off starvation, 

Jisung, steps away from Changbin, Changbin arm dropping down to his side, as Jisung gets into position, moving his feet into an open stance

His arms trembling as he holds the saber to his side, pointing it towards Changbin

Changbin gets into position himself, pointing his own saber at Jisung,

Jisung moves his faux saber, swiping the blade over Changbins head, Changbin being forced to duck, kicking his feet out as he does swiping Jisungs legs out from under him making him fall to the ground, landing hard on his butt 

Jisung groans as he falls down, resting his sweaty head on his knees, 

Changbin sits down in front off Jisung, holding Jisungs hands, 

Jisung looks up, looking up at Changbin 

Jisung flutters his eyes closed, resting his sweaty head against Changbin shoulder  

Changbin speaks softly, carefully to Jisung, "Jisung don't worry, you'll get it soon, you just need to keep on training" 

jisung nods against Changbin, sighing as he stands up, 

Jisung feels Changbin stand up beside him, "Jisung you should go back to you and Chans quarters, you like tired, you should relax" 

Jisung nods sluggishly, stumbling over to the stands putting his saber beside the other sabers

Jisung, walks to his and Chans quarters 

that's where he is now, sitting on the sofa, 

A while ago someone Brought food for Jisung, because Chan made an arrangement for the food to be brought to there quarters as the last time- the first time, Jisung had a "panic attack" or that's what Chan called it, when Jisung saw how many people were in the dinning room all together 

Jisung finished eating and now he's just sitting there, feeling the faint buzz of the force around him, 

Jisung shuffles uncomfortably, his thick sleep clothes, crinkling with him, 

Jisung feels coldness drip over him, making him gasp out a breath, 

He feels something dark coming, two dark force signatures coming, 

jisung feels the blood leave his face, his hands trembling, 

the force is screaming at him 

"THE NIGHT WILL CORRUPT THE DAY!!" 

"THE DARKNESS IS SPREADING!!!' 

"FIRE IS CATCHING!!" 

"WATCH OUT" 

"DO NOT TRUST!!" 

but one voice is trembling, louder than the rest, "ITS A TRAP!!" 

Jisung stands up slowly, his eyes blinking lazily

Jisung walks over to his room, laying down on his bed, trembling under the thick covers 

Han lays awake, tossing in his sleep, squeezing his eyes shut, tightly, trembling as he does, it's too cold here, even with the amount off blankets and thick bed clothes Chan has got for him, it's too cold, making Jisung shiver under the covers, hes not used to the climate of Coruscant, 

Jisung just moved here 4 months ago, and it has been alot for him to handle all at once, the big bright bustling city, mixed with the fact

He's a jedi 

A force sensitive human 

Jisung always knew he was different, but he never expected how, just so different he really was 

He moved from Tatooine, a dry hot desert, to a loud cold city, Chan assures Jisung, once he gets used to it, it won't feel just so cold anymore but hes not sure that will ever happen 

Chan is Jisungs "Master", or so that's what they want Jisung to call him 

Well he's going to be his mentor the person to teach him and look after him 

Jisungs shivers at the thought he spend 17 years of his life being used as a slave in Tatooine, if he can do anything to stop it, Jisung won't have another so called "master" telling him what he can or can't do 

Kriff he can do what be wants, no one can stop him, 

But Jisung does feel bad for him, Chan, being stuck with him as a Padawan, Jisung knows Chan just wants to be encouraging and help him,

Chan is  new to the whole "Master" thing too, even more than Jisung is 

But if Jisung has to sit through another one of those, "its to help you get connected to the living force", still meditation, he's going to break, 

Jisung closes his eyes, sighing out a deep breath, Jisung curls in on himself, tucking his chin into his chest, 

Jisung feels the living force buzz around him, making Jisung squeeze his eyes shut, bring his hands to massage his temple, 

He can't sleep! Now that he has been made aware of the force around him, he can't seem to ignore it, like he used to be able to, 

Jisung feels a greater force walk into the quarters he shares with Chan, 

Jisung breathes deeply sucking in a sharp breath, feeling like needles are spiking his head, making his hands squeeze tighter around his head, 

Jisung takes a deep breath in and a deep breath out, feeling the force signature search out, spread across the quarters, settling in Jisungs room, the warm force testing and teasing Jisungs mind, 

Jisunh panics for a second wondering if it's the two dark signature, here to hurt him

But

Jisung feels a warm force settle around his head, making him feel fuzzy, 

He recognises the force signature, its Chans, Chans is warm, like a fuzzy soft blanket, covering his mind 

Jisung sighs, sinking deeper into the bed, all the noise of the Force, feels blocked out as Chans blanket covers Jisungs senses, letting Jisung finally relax 

Jisung sinks his head into the soft pillow, feeling the warm force move down across his body, the force settling from his head to the tips of his toes, finally Jisung sinks into a deep sleep, 

Jisung feels pictures flash under his eyes as he sleeps, his eyes fluttering under his eyelids rapidly, off a man with bright blonde hair, big lips, 

He's talking to someone, a man with long dark purple hair and two twin silver eyebrow piercings peaking out through a silk black head shawl, he's wearing grey, browny armour, holding a grey helmet, in his belt he has a dark black dagger 

They were talking, about? Jisung couldn't understand what they were saying, it was like there words were underwater, he could only see there mouths moving 

Jisung sees the blonde man say something, "please Naboo needs the Mandalorians help!!" His face scrunching up in panic 

The man with dark purple hair says something else his eyebrows pinching up, "im sorry Senator Lee, I don't think we can, you know the Mandalorians problems with the Jedis, we can't get involved," 

The other man, Lee, pursees his lips, teeth grinding together, "they won't help me, they say Naboo is to small and the threat isn't big another yet, my people are dying, please!" 

He says his voice turning whining, begging to the taller man, 

The other man's, forehead wrinkles deeper, his voice coming out sadly, "Lee I'm sorry, ill try to help you and your people silently, but we can only do so much, I can get some off my people to research more into the blockage, and try to ask my contacts in the trade federation but that's the most I can do, unless the jedi wake up one day and decide to treat the Mandalorians with the respect we deserve" 

Senator Lee nods, standing up and bowing to the Mandalore, "thank you for trying your best" 

The mandalore nods, bowing to Lee, bowing his head as he walks away 

Jisung wakes up slowing, feeling dried sticky drool on his mouth down to his cheeks, he feels warm under the covers, the pillow soft underneath his cheek, 

Jisung sighs, slapping his lips together, sitting up, Jisunh rests his back against the headboard 

Thinking, the dark purple haired man was a Mandalore 

"WATCH OUT FOR THE MANDALORE!!" 

The vision attacks Jisungs brain, the screaming of the voices, making Jisung gasp on a panicked breath, 

The Mandalore, that man, is he the person the voices were talking about?, and who was he talking to?, an important man in Naboo, 

Jisung stands up, walking blindly to his bathroom, his eyes feeling fuzzy, the halls feeling to bright, his eyes feeling hooded, Jisung crashes into the wall on his way to the bathroom, groaning as his hip slams into the corner off the wall 

Jisung already feels a deep bruise form, making him hiss out, "kriff" Jisung groans out 

Opening the door to the bathroom, Jisung looks in the mirror, seeing deep bags under his eyes, his hooded eyes staring back at him, he looks tired, his warm brown hair sticking up everywhere, 

Jisung turns the tap on, patting his face with the cold water, pooling in his palms, 

Jisung shocks himself awake with the cold water, squeezing his eyes shut, rubbing his eyes with his fingers, feeling stars appear in the darkness, his hands gripping onto the sink, keeping himself up right as he sucks in breaths, 

Jisung opens the cabinet, taking out his toothbrush and toothpaste, pouring the toothpaste out brushing his teeth quickly,

Jisung spits into the sink, putting the toothbrush under the sink, wiping his mouth with the towel, Jisung puts the toothpaste and tooth brush back in the cabinet, taking his cleanser Chan bought for him out off the cabinet, he pours some off the gel out off the jar, mixing it with water, soaping the gell up, it turning into foam, 

Jisung lathers the foam over his face, massaging it into his skin, 

Jisung washes it off with water, drying his face with a towel, Jisung takes out the face cream, massaging it into his skin, closing up the containers and putting them back in the cabinets 

Jisung hears the door open, Chans familiar force signature coming into the room, jisung turns around,

Chan and Jisungs eyes widening in sink when they see eachother 

Chans not wearing a shirt, his abs on display, they stick out off his stomach, the muscles in his arms moving as he holds onto the door, "oh Ji- Padawan, I'm so sorry" Chan blurts out awkwardly, his face turning red in embarrassment 

Jisung lowers his face, covering his eyes, as his face turns red 

"Uh its ok Master" Jisung says nervously 

Chan closes the door, speaking from outside the room, "I'll jus- call me when your done" Chan says swallowing deeply 

Jisung nods, then realises Chan can't see him, "uhh yeah ok, I will" Jisung says, rubbing the back off his neck 

Jisung pulls down the side off his trouser waist band, hissing as he sees the bruise, it's a deep blue and purple colour, forming across his hip down to his inner thigh, painting his honey tanned skin

Jisung pulls out a jar of mend-gel, sticking his fingers into the jar, pouring it onto his wound, massaging it into the bruise, the cool gel soothing the pain, making him grit his teeth, 

Jisung puts the jar back, pulling his waist band up higher 

Jisung walks out of the bathroom, calling for Chan, "Master the bathrooms free now!!" Jisung walks to his own room, seeing Chan walk in 

With a shirt on this time, walking to the bathroom, smiling as he sees Jisung look at him, Jisung smiles back, opening the door to his room 

Jisung strips off his clothes, changing into his training robes, Jisung brushes his hair with a comb, walking into the living room, sitting down on the sofa, the room smells faintly of smoke, reminding Jisung off the camp fires in Tatooine and the clove cigarettes his mum used to share with him on the cold nights when the temperature dropped In the desert 

Jisung searches into his inside pocket, bringing out the squashed, crumpled packet of the same Clove cigarettes, his last packet, there's only 4 left 

Jisung sits up, calling out to Chan, "Master I'm going to the balcony!!" 

Chan shouts back, "ok!! Don't stay out too long!" 

Jisung walks to the balcony, taking out a crumpled cigarette, taking his lighter out of his pocket, flicking the lighter on, lighting the cigarette, bring the cigarette to his lips, sucking the smoke in, feeling the smoke relax into his lungs, the warmth spreading in his lungs and throat, 

Jisung breathes out deeply the smoke sinking out off his mouth, travelling across the sky, in a swirly motion, Jisung closes his eyes, relaxing against the wall, 

Breathing in another mouthful of smoke, the heaviness sits in his Lungs for a second, the heat burning his lungs, the thick smoke off it getting stuck in his throat, making him choke on his next exhale, with smoke blowing out off his mouth 

Jisung coughs, his chest shaking, 

Jisung feels water fill his eyes, as he coughs, slamming his fist against his chest, 

Jisung hears the door open, Chans warm force settling over Jisung, resting over his shoulders, smoothing out his throat, making Jisung suck in a deep breath as the cigarette smokes away inbetween Jisungs fingers 

Chan stands across from Jisung, his arms coming to rest on his chest, 

Chan raises his eyebrows, his eyes twitching, that being the only tell that he's annoyed, "young Padawan?, I thought you told me you were going to stop smoking, you know it's bad for your health, especially seeing as Jedis Need to be active and healthy" 

Chapter Text

He watches as the mc announces the winner, the female mc beside him, smiling speaking loudly, 

He feels like hes underwater, and can't get back to the surface, this feeling has happened before, when he was 15, in the height of everything that happened, but he's blocked them, he hopes he's blocked them, he can't remember, he has to remind himself that, he can't afford to remember right now, he's in the height off his career and he's only going up,  the truth is he'd been in the height of his career for a while now 

The female mc speaking right now is awarding the winner for best rookie girl group, he already know who it's going to be 

New jeans, of course it will be them, they're amazing, such talented young girls 

From Hype entertainment, they had an amazing debut, they hit the kpop train hard, shocking everyone 

He's holding the award, a manufactured smile forced on his face, just like everything jype entertainment stands for, 

Leaders in Entertainment, the face of change in kpop 

The cheers erupt from the audience, making him feel like hes swimming closer to the surface, trying to force himself out off his daze, Chan feels like his smile, bright and factured is fractured, about to break any second, 

The audience is still cheering, Chan hears footsteps walking towards him, forcing his smile to go bigger, turning in a random direction he thinks he hears them coming from, 

Chan holds the award out feeling hands, grab onto them, the person speaking out a small "thank you", sounding like there voice is trembling, 

Chan bows quickly, muffled, following the practiced direction he needs to go, the perfect place he needs to stand, to be seen, always to be seen, but not heard, or stand too out of place,

Don't look awkward, we want people to know you're there, but not stand out

You'll always be there Chan, you're the top soloist, top idol, top self producer in all off 4th gen, your handsome, your amazing 

Chan gasps as he's forced out of his daze, a rough but soft hand grabbing onto his suits sleeve, Sunmi looks at Chan widely, her eyes widening ever so slightly, she slowly whispers words to him, "Hubae?, you okay?, you look a little pale?" 

Chan nods, smiling practiced to Sunmi, "I'm good, Noona, I don't think I ate enough today, I was very busy", 

Sunmi nods, looking up at Chan softly, fluttering her eyelashes softly to Chan, 

Chan gulps, he feels his breath catch in his throat, he just catches the end of new jeans exceptence speech, smiling brightly, standing up to the mic, Sunmi following him with the same practiced smile on her face 

Chan claps as he speaks, smiling Into the mic, "now isn't that just amazing! I want one last cheer for our best rookie group, NEW JEANS!!", he says shouting into the mic 

The crowd arupts into cheers, people screaming and shouting, 

Sunmi walks up to the mic, her heels clapping against the ground as she walks, speaking into the mic, holding another envelope, 

Sunmi speaks smiling, "now, the best album of this year, goes to!!" She says into the mic, opening the envelope as she speaks, "Bang Chan!!!" 

Chan eyes widen, his mouth opening slightly, hesitantly walking closer to Sunmi, 

Sunmi smiles at Chan, her cheeks turning upwards, 

Chan takes the award off the table, shuffling over to the mic, speaking softly into the mic, "thank you so much for this award, everytime I get an award, its a big shock to me, because being so loves by my fans still feels like I need to pinch myself everyday, thank you so much my fans, Jype entertainment, Jyp, my mangers and amazing producing team!!", 

The crowd cheers, loudly, even louder than they cheered for new jeans and all the other bands and soloist 

This was the last award, the big one, the one everyone aspires to have, 

Chan walks of the stage, Sunmi following behind him,
