"I just wanted to apologise again for what happened last time Mr and Mrs Park. I don't know what I was thinking."
"Every once in a while, things like this are okay," Nair smiled. "No one got seriously hurt, that is the most important."
"They're not mad," Junya reassured for the tenth time holding Raphael's arm as they walked into the house. "You don't have to be nervous."
Raphael was glancing nervously towards Mr Park. The older man hadn't said anything but he knew, that Jaehyun knew, that was putting him more on edge. The man was just sitting back with his legs crossed drinking water.
"Do you mind if we have a conversation Raphael?"
"Dad, you promised," Junya reminded nervously. "You said you would let it go..."
"I have," Jaehyun smiled softly towards his son ruffling his hair, "I just want to talk to Raphael about something else."
"It's cool," Raphael assured even though Nair and Junya were looking at him worriedly. "Pops and I can have a conversation. I'm sure it'll be quick."
"Yeah, like five minutes. Nothing to worry about," Jaehyun assured.
"Jae, you promised," Nair reminded as well.
"I know my love. I'm not in the habit of lying to you." ...
Raphael gulped when he heard Mr Park lock the door.
"We... this is a locked door conversation?"
Jaehyun remained quiet as Raphael awkwardly talked to fill the space. Raphael didn't even know what he was saying, he just knew his mouth was moving.
A lot.
"Sir!"
Raphael froze in place as Mr Park calmly reached into his waistband before pointing a gun towards his head. The man said nothing as Raphael started pleading before he pulled the trigger.
Raphael let out the breath he was holding as he patted his body.
He didn't feel pain.
He wasn't bleeding.
He wasn't shot.
He was alive.
"It's not loaded," Jaehyun shook his head with a bright smile. "You should have seen your face."
"That's not funny pops! Have you lost it?!"
"You keep acting like you don't take me seriously. Next time you take my son without my permission, it'll be loaded."
"You're crazy..."
"I know what my son looks like, you're not the first person to chase after him. I have to stay ready."
"Yeah, because the way he looks- hold on... I haven't chased after Junya- we're just friends!"
Jaehyun looked at the younger boy with an unconvinced expression. "Whatever you say. I won't give him to you."
