I woke up that morning feeling better. Although the bandages on my shoulder is uncomfortable, Jungkook really did a pretty decent job with it. I flutter my eyes open and realized I am all alone in the couch, only left with his coat over me. I firmly closed my eyes as I remember how we ended up cuddling in this sofa, stealing kisses and giving soft caresses against our faces. We acted like we're in a fucking honeymoon all over again. I touched my forehead and breathe a silent curse.

I looked around and saw some clean clothes of my sister and some essentials too prepared by the table. I groaned as I pull myself from the couch and getting my feet in my shoes. I get up to get myself a some water only to be welcomed by Lucid preparing breakfast in his kitchen.

"Good morning." He smiled.

I pulled my jacket over my shoulders and walked to the fridge to get a bottle of water. "Viper was here last night." I said and tries to open the cap but I dropped it on the floor. "Fuck." I whispered.

Lucid picked up the bottle and opened it for me instead. "I know. I met him this morning on his way out." He answered and went back to the seaweed soup he has been working. "He traced my phone. He knows you'll call me. You know he's smart."

"I should've called Lambo instead. You ruined it, Cid. You could've told me." I said and glared at him.

He smirked, raising his one thick eyebrow on me. "Really? I ruined it? You looked like you enjoyed the cuddle on my couch." He teased making me roll my eyes.

"It was the painkillers. I was not--- myself last night." I said and firmly closed my eyes, trying not to grimace with that lame excuse.

"That's bullshit."

"Yeah, you're right. It is." I agreed, making him laugh and throw his head back. I just smiled at the sound of his laugh. It's been a while since we saw each other and I genuinely missed him. I didn't have a brother and he became the one I never had. The protection that I did to Reese when we were younger is what I did to him too. Winning to races even made him to school. And I feel like a Mom watching him get in school on his first day. Looking at him now, he really got so well.

"Can you tell me what happened to Horizon?" I asked, sitting on the chair by the counter.

He raised his eyebrows, eyeing me. "You aren't Horizon." He answered, turning his back while seasoning the soup.

I sighed. "Viper said it went down."

I saw him paused and turns off the stove before facing me. "Drop it, Nessey. I made a pact. What happens in Horizon, stays in Horizon." He said and walks to the food he prepared, getting them in one plate and putting them in front of me.

"What happened to the others? I just want to know." I said, trying again.

He looked at me, rested his elbows against the table. "Why? You left remember? You can't tell me that you still care. You're 10 years late, Nessey. If you really want to know, you know the drill. Race in, race out." He said and picks up a sausage and eats it. "Eat. You have to drink your medicines." He said and puts some medicines in front of me too.
