"so you really did killed that man afterall?"
jisoo witness how everyone including the bodyguards that was standing beside the main door averted their attention to him the moment he spoke up right after he finally went downstairs and now at the living room with the rest of the people he was living with. with that, jisoo saw how seokmin's eyes widened but he composed himself seeing him still wide awake and prolly heard what they are talking about. lee chan even pursed his lips and he gestured to the older to go back to his room.
"princess.." though jisoo admits that he missed how the way seokmin was calling him with that nickname, but he couldn't just let the information he heard pass. seokmin heave a sighed. "take him back to his room." then he gestured larry to take jisoo back to his room.
larry came to his side, "lets go sir jisoo." and the bodyguard was about to held jisoo in his arm but the architect pulled his arm away.
jisoo shook his head. "no! dont you dare touch me." then he glared at larry making the bodyguard shut his mouth prolly seeing how scary jisoo was when he's angry. after he glared at larry, his eyes went back to glare at seokmin. "you told me you're not the one who would kill that person. you fucking told me that its your friends who would be the one to do it. and now what? you're the one who did it instead of them!"
seokmin heave a sighed again. "i said take him back to his roㅡ"
"and i said no!" the again he glared at larry who's about to touch him following the order of his boss as he pulled himself back so the bodyguard wont touch him.
"hong jisoo!"
seokmin's loud voice can be heard over the living room, and jisoo admits that it made him startled at the same quivered himself in fear hearing how dominant seokmin's voice was with those deep, cold and much finality. but instead of following what the mafia want him to do and just go back to his room, jisoo stood firm in front of seokmin with the same death glare in his eyes yet it was filled with water as his breathings were hitch and there was a lump on his throat making him hard to speak.
lee chan, wonil, anton and valentine was just watching how the two yell and shout at each other. even though lee chan knows that they should leave the two behind, but they cannot do so, they cannot just leave without the permission of seokmin... of their master.
jisoo swallowed hard, eyes about to release a tear. "you told me you're not the mafia i thought you are!" even though he's shouting trying to stand firm in front of everyone, but inside of him, he wanted to cry so bad. "but it turns out that you're more than that mafia!"
actually, ever since lee chan told him that seokmin's not the mafia he thinks he is and the young boy told him to give the younger a try.. jisoo did tried. he tried to see seokmin without the mafia after his name, as he also tried to forget what seokmin has and what title he holds. but everything that he convinced himself into, was now showing the opposite of what he tried to do. because no matter how much he convinced himself, seokmin is still a mafia. and that fact wont change.
the architect heave a sighed when a tear escape through his eye. "you know i almost believe it.. i almost fucking convinced myself that you're not that kind of person." everything flushes back inside his head and now that he's staring right through seokmin's eyes, he doesn't know why but it felt a pang inside his chest making him shed tears. "seokmin, i.. i almost want you!"
with his confession, he saw how lee chan covered his mouth in surprise and everyone stares at him and through that, he saw how seokmin's eyes widened upon hearing those words prolly wasn't expecting that jisoo would just confess like that about what he's been feeling for the past days he's staying here in this mansion and being with seokmin. which honestly, jisoo didnt even know he'll say it but guess that the emotion was too much for him to handle that he cannot help it anymore.
seokmin blinked thrice. "j-jisoo..."
and the younger was about to come close to jisoo to held his hand when everyone gasps including him seeing how jisoo grabbed the gun from larry's belt as he pointed it straight towards to seokmin without second thought, making seokmin who's swallowing hard with eyes widened raised his both hands in the air like as if he was surrendering with the crime he made to the policeman.
"dont you dare come close to me!" jisoo's hands were shaking, probably because this is the first time he got to held a real gun plus he's scared.. he's scared he might totally fire it to seokmin which he wasn't meant to do such. its just for the younger to stop coming close to him. he stared at seokmin, still crying yet glaring at the younger. "you're not the same seokmin i almost convinced myself. you are a fucking criminal."
seokmin moved closer to him. "put down the gun now princess."
but jisoo hissed, still pointing the gun at seokmin. "and i wont fucking fall in love with a criminal like you!"
and when jisoo saw how seokmin subtly gestured larry to take him already, jisoo was about to clicked the gun to shoot seokmin but before he could do such, even though they're not allowed to touch him, jisoo felt how larry grabbed his both arms including the ones holding the gun as it fell on the floor. anton kicked it away from jisoo so he wouldn't able to pick it up again.
"im sorry sir jisoo, but you have to go back to your room." larry uttered upon grabbing and dragging jisoo with him and when jisoo tried to fought back and push the bodyguard away, larry was left no choice but to carry jisoo like a sack of potatoes.
"yah! let go of me!" jisoo fought hard by hitting larry on the back.
"take him back to his room." hearing that, jisoo glared at seokmin even more before larry carried him upstairs until they vanished through his sight.
larry throw jisoo back inside his room as he said his apologies before he slammed the door. jisoo once again was left alone inside his room, crying his heart out trying to release every pain he's been keeping inside his chest and how he hates to admit that he almost fall in love with a criminal. he almost fall in love with seokmin. that man who convinced him that he's not the mafia he thought of, but turns out just the same mafia he knows.
and what made him cry even more is when he felt scared.. after twenty days of staying here inside the mansion, this is the first time he felt scared, probably he realized that everyone he's been living with here is a criminal. including anton, larry and even that valentine who likes him was also a criminal. all of them! all of the people who's working under seokmin is a criminal! jisoo has been surrounded by bunch of criminals who do nothing but to kill people.
he didnt know what did he do in his past lives to deserve a situation like this. and as far as he remembers, he just saved seokmin before, nothing more nothing less but why did he ended up here? how did he ended up being kidnapped and locked inside this fucking mansion full of criminals? is this the life of someone who's being loved by a mafia boss? because if it does, jisoo would rather die than being loved by them.
jisoo just stopped from crying when it was almost three in the morning already and though he didnt slept well last night, he couldn't feel sleepy as his mind was awake.. his mind was awake and has been thinking or something, or more like planning something. planning to finally escape this mansion and accept his fate that whatever happens on the way of his escape, he wont ask anyone for help and most importantly, he wont go back in this stupid mansion.
he waited for the clock to strike at half past three to make sure that everyone was asleep already so no one can see he's trying to escape for the second time. and even though he's nervous about going out as it was raining so bad and he could hear the strong waves coming from the sea, he still went out. he opened the door of his room silently and very carefully so it wont make a sound, and he was happy to see that the lights for the rest of the second floor was off.
when he went out of his room, he hides from the thick hedge of the staircase as he tried so hard to hear if anyone was in the living room, but he heard nothing so he didnt second thought to ran through the staircase. he was panting when he gets to the living rook from earlier, and just like he thought no one was here and the only noise you could hear was the rain from the outside. he went to open the main door and luckily it wasn't locked. anton usually locked all the doors of the mansion every night.
"ah shit!" that's what he uttered the moment he stepped out of the mansion as he was being soaked by the pouring rain.
but that didn't stop him as he ran through the pathway going to where the sea was. he kept looking around while running, afraid that someone might see him and he considered himself lucky that he got to the shore without anyone noticing. he ran towards to the hangar where the yachts are kept. lee chan once told him how to operate one of these and that's what he's gonna use to escape even though he knows the waves are strong enough for just a yacht to sail in the sea.
"fuck! now they know!" jisoo cursed after hearing how an alarm rang probably through every corner of the mansion right after he tried to pull the rope to get the yacht to the sea.
but as jisoo as he is, it didn't stop him as he pulled the rope and he was groaning so much while doing it but was worth it as he successfully brought the yacht into the shore. he did not waste any seconds as he loads the yacht and started the engine especially when he heard how seokmin called his name and they are making their way to where he is.
"jisoo! hong jisoo!"
jisoo looked back to see seokmin including lee chan was at the shore calling his name, but instead of going back to where they are, jisoo fastened the pace of the yacht so they won't catch up now that he saw how anton started the engine of the yacht that was bigger than what he's using. jisoo was swallowing hard as he tightened his grip through the steering wheel when the strong waves slaps him that he fell on the floor.
it was raining so bad, there has a thunderstorm and most especially the waves are too strong for him to stood firm in the middle of mediterranean sea as it kept slapping him that he couldn't stand straight. he could hear seokmin and lee chan's calling his name nearby but it didnt stop him even though his situation was helpless.
and jisoo just groaned so hard when the waves ate his yacht as it went upside down making him fell on the cold water. and he was about to swim upwards but a wooden part of the yacht bumped with so much force into his head making him see nothing but darkness, and the last thing he heard and knew was seokmin was screamed his name.
