Once they arrived, Kai bolted out of the car but was quickly stopped by police officers protecting the scene.
"Let me go find him!" Kai struggled against the men but they were too strong for him.
Soon enough Beomgyu had joined them and was able to get Kai away from the officers, "Hey," Beomgyu rubbed the younger boy's back, "You need to calm down."
Kai didn't respond and instead just wrapped his arms around Beomgyu and held onto him like his life depended on it.
"Everything is going to be okay," Beomgyu whispered as he stared at the building. In reality he had no idea if that is true or not because that's just the kind of business Soobin was in. You could die at any second with no reasoning. He hoped that somehow Soobin can make it out of this though, not because Beomgyu likes him, but for Kai's sake.
By the time they got here the fire was already put out but there was still a huge crowd of people around. It was odd to Beomgyu, he hasn't seen this many people on this side of the town before. I think it was a bit overwhelming, even for the officers, because they began to shoo away the crowd.
"Hey," Beomgyu slightly pulled away, "I think we need to go."
Kai shook his head in disbelief, "What about Soobin?"
Beomgyu looked at him with pity, "If he's okay then he will text you. There's no point in waiting around here because it won't make a difference."
Kai pushed him away and turned his back to him to look at the house with any hopes that Soobin would appear.
"Kai let's-"
"If you want to leave then leave but I'm waiting for Soobin."
Beomgyu scoffed, "I can't leave you here by yourself Kai especially not after you getting hurt the way you did."
Kai didn't respond and Beomgyu just sighed. He wasn't going to change Kai's mind so easily. Beomgyu wrapped his arms around Kai from behind and buried his face into his back. Then they waited.
And waited.
Then waited some more.
They had to have been out here for at least a couple of hours by now.
"Kai," Beomgyu whined, "My feet hurt."
"Then go wait in the car," Kai suggested, still refusing to remove his eyes from the house.
Beomgyu judged and began to pace around the area, making sure to not get too far away from Kai. Beomgyu made his way down to the corner of the street. He looked back at Kai who still remained in the same spot and then turned his attention back in front of him and that's when he saw a hooded figure leaning against one of the buildings across the street. Beomgyu gulped and took a few steps back.
"What's wrong?" the figure asked, "It looks like you've seen a ghost."
"S-soobin!"
"The one and only," Soobin nodded.
"What are you doing here?" Beomgyu scowled, "Kai has been waiting for you for who knows how long now!"
"Well I can't go over there now," Soobin shrugged, "They saw my face. They know I'm affiliated with the gang. It's risky for me to even be this close but I saw you and Kai were here so I wanted to be sure that you guys knew I was alright."
"Why didn't you just text one of us?" Beomgyu asked.
"Lost my phone in fire," Soobin shrugged.
" Well come on," Beomgyu looked between Soobin and his car, "I can sneak you over to my car and we can get out of here."
"I'm afraid I can't do that."
"Why not?"
Soobin shook his head, "Are you really they naive? If I leave with you and theres the slightest bit of suspicion then we will all get thrown into the slammer." Beomgyu pursed his lips together and didn't respond. "Look," Soobin continued, "If you know what's good for you then you and Kai will leave immediately and I'll meet you guys at your apartment, fair?"
Beomgyu nodded and Soobin began to make his way down the street. Beomgyu went back over to Kai and told him what had happened. It took a while for Kai to corporate. He thought that the interaction was too convenient to be true. Eventually Kai reluctantly agreed and they made their way back to the apartment. About two thirds of an hour went by before a knock on the door was heard.
Kai went to go open it but it took him a few seconds to recognize who it was due to Soobin hiding his face so no cameras would catch him. Once Kai did recognize him he threw his arms around Soobin and embraced him, "I was so worried about you!"
"Hey," Soobin quietly responded hugging him back, "Can you let me inside?"
Kai nodded and allowed Soobin in, closing the door behind them. Without any warning, Soobin placed a kiss on the younger boy's lips and Kai's heart fluttered with excitement before returning it. After a few seconds Soobin pulled away, "I'm sorry for worrying you."
"It's okay," Kai smiled, "I'm just happy you're not hurt."
"Oh I'm hurt," Soobin grabbed his right arm, "Taehyun shot me."
"What?" Kai's eyes widened.
"But that was hours ago so the pain and bleeding have died down,"
"Still Soobin it could get infected," the younger boy pouted as he began to rummage around for his medicine kit, "Come here so I can fix it."
Soobin did as he was told and while Kai started to clean the wound Beomgyu finally decided to speak up, "Where are Taehyun and Yeonjun?"
Soobin's expression darkened, "Taehyun killed Yeonjun."
"Oh no," Kai gasped, "I thought they were close."
"All four of us were at one point but things change," Soobin chuckled, "Taehyun definitely changed for the worst. He's fucking psychotic."
Beomgyu rolled his eyes, "Where is he now?"
"Oh the police caught that bastard," Soobin smirked, "I hope he rots in that jail cell."
"Fuck you Soobin!" Beomgyu stormed out of the apartment and slammed the door behind him.
Kai looked at Soobin confused, "What just happened?"
"Beats me," Soobin shrugged.
Kai had finished cleaning up the wound and Soobin beckoned him to sit on his lap. Soobin caressed the side of Kai's face and Kai leaned into his touch. Soobin then used his other free hand to brush his thumb against Kai's lips causing the younger boy to quiver. "How are you so pretty?"
Kai just closed his eyes and hummed in response.
"Don't tell me you're tired already," Soobin furrowed his eyebrows.
Kai slowly opened his eyes, "Are you not?"
"I am but," Soobin slid his arms down and held a Kai by his waist, drawing circles with his thumbs, "I want to spend the rest of the night with you as much as I can."
"And why is that?" Kai grinned, expecting some cheesy answer.
"Because after tonight," Soobin sighed, avoiding eye contact, "I don't think we will ever see each other again."
It was silent and Soobin was prepared to be yelled at or slapped like previous exes have done but after not getting a reaction he looked back up at Kai who just sat there silently with tears forming in his eyes.
"You don't like me like you say you do," Kai finally responded.
"Of course I do."
"Then why?" Kai asked finally releasing his tears.
Soobin was quick to wipe them away, "I don't think you understand the severity of the situation Kai. Our gang was infamous and the police have been trying to stop us for years. The only three members that were in that building were Taehyun, Yeonjun, and I. Well one is captured, one is dead, and the only one left is me."
"Do you think they are going to find you?"
"If I stay here yes," Soobin scowled. "I have to do what Beomgyu did. Go somewhere far away and start a new life. Pretend that this gang never existed."
Kai understood. He didn't like it but he knew he had to, "Where are you going to go?"
Soobin bit his lip, "I don't know yet. It actually will take me a while to figure out a plan, but I know the longer I stay with you then the more I'm going to want to stay here."
"Well there's an easy fix to that," Kai's eyes brightened and Soobin looked at him with , "I'm coming with you."
