Now (There's No Tomorrow) Chapter 11: The Traitor Heart
Yoochun's POV
It had been a few hours that I was following him and I was exhausted, but he wasn't tired at all. He's human for real?
Changmin hadn't mentioned how pretty is his boyfriend, and I shouldn't do that for obvious issues. But his beauty is dangerous and destructive. I couldn't imagine that such delicate appearance suggested violence and bloody death.
Although I felt that I was walking into a trap, I followed him into an alley. For a few minutes I lost sight of him, but I was not surprised when I found him right behind me. This time, he was holding a knife, and I feared for my life, though I was wearing a mask of coldness.
Despite being a killer and know how to defend myself very well, according to information provided by Yunho and Junsu, he was mortal like the angel of death himself.
Why are we so involved in this story? Our work supposedly kill without question, not caring about someone's revenge.
"Jaejoong."
"Yoochun, I know that you are a highly recommended professional assassin, but frankly, you need to learn to follow more discreetly."
"What will you do now? Kill me because I was following you? "
"I wouldn't kill the best friend of my boyfriend, don't worry."
"But you don't trust me, that's why you're holding your knife?"
Jaejoong put a finger to his lips deliciously pink and whispered "Shhhh, come here."
I approached cautiously.
He pulled me by the wrist and crouched behind a large trash bin, whispering in my ear "I warn you something, whoever you kill from this point you will be rewarded only with you survival... but I think this a fair payment."
I wanted Jaejoong to stop whispering in my ear, Changmin would kill me if he knew the reactions of my body because of it.
"What are you talking about Jaejoong? We betray our contractor, we were already screwed, you forgot?"
"Sorry to ruin the business for you and Changmin."
I don't know if he was being sincere, but one thing I know, Changmin doesn't want to be a murderer, then spoil or not the business wasn't all that relevant.
How about me?
If Changmin is considering live honestly without killing, without hurting others, I can too, right? Maybe I could be a great pianist, living doing something I like.
In the alley came a small group of men.
"Who are these guys? 'I whispered.
"You thought you were the one to follow me?"
"What they want?" I whispered again.
He rolled his eyes, "They want to play Monopoly ... Of course they want to kill me!"
We heard someone clear his throat behind us and with a sudden movement, someone grabbed him by the hair and threw him against the wall. I had very little time to react before someone kicked in my belly hard enough for me to lose my breath.
Jaejoong's knife fell to the ground, and a man hit his face hard against the wall. The thought that someone was probably damaging that perfect face filled me with rage.
I tried to grab the knife, but one of the men stepped on my hand making the sharp blade bite my hand. My blood was warm.
Another man pushed Jaejoong's aggressor arguing that it would be wiser to keep him alive for while. They were arguing because some of the guys wanted to kill him, others wanted to take him away. There was a price on his head, and although he was worth more alive than dead, everyone knew he was too dangerous to be kept alive.
Do they think I walk around unarmed?
With my free hand, I grabbed my gun and shot at the man who was standing in my other hand, when he fell to ground I threw the knife to Jaejoong who cut the throat of the guy who was closer to him.
"Two Down! Four to go!" Jaejoong said.. he was having fun? Seriously?
One of the guys tried to shoot me as I stood up, but Jaejoong stabbed him from behind.
After that, I pointed the gun toward him, he smiled and tilted his head a little so I could shoot at the man's head who was behind him.
I shot the fifth man, and when only one left, Jaejoong smiled and said, "Run away, little gazelle. I will not kill you. "
Both me and the guy knew we shouldn't trust Jaejoong's word because his beautiful smile seemed evil and sadistic. Although I'm secretly scared, and I must admit that he is sexy as hell. I should be almost as crazy as him?
I lowered my gun and the man began to run. After laughing a bit, Jaejoong threw his knife and killed him almost instantly.
"I don't know why some people think I'm bad." He muttered "I almost always kill quickly."
'This isn't your only nice feature' I could have said sarcastically.
He bent to pick up his knife, and wiped the blood with the cloth of the guy he had just killed.
"It's not even night yet. Isn't good to kill in daylight. "He muttered" But the sky is so dark ... I think it makes no difference ... "
I looked at the sky, and a drop of cold water fell on my face and trickled down my cheek like a tear.
"A storm is coming." I said and the meaning of my words had a double meaning.
He stopped in front of me and muttered "What exactly are you talking about, Chun?"
The wind began to blow colder.
"Yunho said you're screwed."
"Tell me something I don't know."
I sighed. I was tired and my hand was hurting. Can't we just leave?
At that moment I heard someone slamming the door of the car.
"Hyung, someone arrived!" There were six bodies, three shot, three stabbed.
But Jaejoong didn't move and there was nowhere to run.
Shit.
When two police officers wearing raincoat arrived, I tried to get my gun, but Jaejoong took it from me muttering "Yoochun-ah, are you crazy? They are cops! "
I was really desperate. "Hyung, they will arrest us! Let's run away!"
Getting caught by the police was not in my plans, so I tried to drag him by the hand, but he didn't moved.
"Aish, Kim Jaejoong! Again? "One of the officers said. "Do not you get tired of messing our beautiful city with blood?"
"Yah, I was doing everyone a favor! These guys were murderers! "Jaejoong replied.
The cops came and the same man responded by saying "And you think you're better than them? Really?"
Jaejoong didn't have a good answer.
"It wasn't his fault!" I tried to defend him. They tried to kill us!"
"Yoochun, it's okay. These guys are right. "He put a hand on my shoulder and I realized that despite all his confidence, he had been struck by those words, his hand was trembling slightly.
For the first time, the cops looked at me. One of them took a step toward me and asked Jaejoong if I was his new boyfriend or something. But we ignore it.
The other office said "Jaejoong is a major killer, but wherever he goes, there is some man protecting him .. Yunho, Junsu. I heard he was fucking a boy, a mercenary. He is a little bitch. Your name is Yoochun then? Have you ever fucked him? Or that he fucked you? I'm really curious ... he's so pretty. I wonder when I'll have my chance to prove it."
Jaejoong didn't react, but I couldn't keep silent. "You better start respecting my friend here, sir, he is my best friend's boyfriend, and my best friend would rip your insides if he heard you talking about him like that."
The officer wasn't intimidated, instead, he just grinned. I really wanted to punch his face.
"We want a bribe."
"You know what?" Jaejoong said, "The 'bribe' that you will receive from me will be not kill you while you sleep tonight."
The rain began to fall heavily, Jaejoong took my hand and moved away from the crime scene, he was telling me that those cops were under the command of Junsu and that we should not worry about them. Ther were 'friends', he said.
My car was not exactly close and when we got inside, we were soaked to the soul.
"Do you have any cigarettes?" He asked.
"You want to smoke in a closed car?"
He shrugged.
"But my car will get stinking smell of cigarette!"
"Yoochun, this is your car? Really?"
"No, I stole it, but ... fine."
I took a cigarette for each of us in the glovebox.
"Jaejoong hyung ... you do not just stop with this revenge? I understand-"
"Understand?"
I sighed "Yunho told us your story."
"Aish, that gossip man."
I thought by now everyone who made your life hell should already be dead."
"I killed a lot of people, Yoochun ... More than I care to admit. I wanted to have stopped it, but I just can't. It's like an avalanche. Revenge generates other vendettas. I wanted to stop but I just can not. These guys chasing me wherever I go ... even in my nightmares. They want me dead, and this war will only end when I kill everyone or they kill me."
I took a deep breath and started the car, throwing my cigarette out the crack in the window. "So hyung ... it would only end if you died? "
"Exactly."
"Maybe it does not take to happen." I muttered morbidly.
"My greatest enemy is now Choi Siwon." he said.
"The guy who wrote that list."
"Exactly. I wouldn't tell the truth to Changmin. I don't want him to get more involved with this guy. This guy Siwon inherited fraudulent mobsters and my father's business. He doesn't just want revenge by business associates who I have killed, but he sees me with a personal threat. Actually, he's right. "
After driving for several blocks toward the suburbs, Jaejoong finally asked where we were going, but instead of answering his question, I changed the subject.
"Hyung ...? Think Changmin would be okay with your death? "
"I don't think he would be happy ... but he could find someone better. "
"Somebody better, it may be, but not someone prettier, I'm sure."
He frowned, getting suspicious. "Yoochun, what is happening? Where are you taking me?"
"Hyung? Do you really love Changmin-ah, right? "
"More than anything."
I smiled at him and said "So it'll be fine."
I parked the car in an old abandoned basketball court. There were weeds growing in the cracks of the floor. The rain fell heavily when I opened the car door and pulled him out, not too gently. I'll have to apologize for it later.
"What the fuck!" He shouted.
"Sorry about that, hyung. I like you very much, I hope you'll forgive me for it later! "
"What's happening?"
Another car pulled up nearby. Yunho and Changmin were coming in our direction. Junsu went out of their car, dressed all in black, holding a large umbrella, but remained watching us from a distance.
The rain was diminishing, but the wind was very cold in our wet skin.
When Yunho approached us he put a big white sweatshirt in Jaejoong was too confused to react. "It is very cold here, Jaejoongie."
Changmin was a very strange expression on his face as he approached him. "Kitten... " he said "Do you believe me when I said that I love you?"
"I believe!"
I was feeling bad for him, suddenly feeling so scared and confused.
"Changmin-ah, what's happening? What's wrong with everybody? "
"Kitten ..." Changmin held his face between his fingers and I felt a little jealous. Ahh, you're so luck, Min-ah.
"Changmin, I'm getting scared."
"You have to believe that I love you until the very end, do you understand that? You believe me?"
"What? Until the very end? What are you talking about?"
A black car parked across the court and some men came towards us. A man dressed in suit and tie stood out among the others, a young man holding a umbrella over his head.
"That's Choi Siwon?" I asked and Yunho nodded.
"What?" Jaejoong yelled "What is he doing here?"
I grabbed Jaejoong's right arm and Yunho grabbed his left arm. Now he couldn't escape.
"I'm sorry" Yunho murmured without looking at his friend.
"What's happening?" Jaejoong shouted "Changmin! Changmin-ah, let me go! "
Siwon walked a few more steps. He was tall and handsome.
"Kim Jaejoong huh? The most coveted prey of this city. It was very difficult to get to you. "
Changmin bent slightly, without looking at Jaejoong's face inches from his, and took his knife. Now Jaejoong was unarmed and helpless.
I heard Changmin whispering softly "You still believe in me right?"
Jaejoong was confused, but nodded anyway. "You also have to believe that I love you!" He was sobbing now.
Yunho and Junsu had told me that morning Changmin has prove his love for Jaejoong, I knew acting that way was almost maddening. Betraying the person you love most? Risking that person's life? Changmin-ah are you doing good.
But the real test was to Jaejoong. He really loves Changmin? He will give up this insane killer life for him?
When I asked him 'Do you really love Changmin-ah, right?' He had answered 'more than anything.
Now was the time to prove that he was telling the truth.
N//A: In Portuguese (my language) words 'gato' (cat) and 'gatinho' (kitten) are slang for 'pretty'.
gato (male); gata (female) | gatinho (male); gatinha (female)
This is one of the reasons why Changmin calls Jaejoong 'kitten' ^_^
Sorry for the short chapter, headache T^T
For those who are confused:
That's right, Jaejoong fell in an ambush planned for his own friends and boyfriend.
WHAT'S HAPPENING!?
Find out in the next chapter! (possibly the last one)
btw, anyone noticed how Yoochun is naughty? YAH! Stay away from Changmin's boyfriend!
