JR's POV      

"Tell me." I demand, and Ren's expression turns serious. I have to admit, at this moment, I'm angry at him. How can he say something

like this as if it was nothing? He doesn't even know me that long. But he does have some strange abilities, I witnessed personally. So

eventually - No. I can't believe this so easily, his influence can't make me withdraw my decision. No matter what follows now.

 

"It's hard to explain, but I'll try my best." He says, chewing on his lips nervously. I fell pity. He looks so vulnerable... Yah, stop thinking

that way, JR! "Um, whenever I touch a person, I usually ... get to see a part of his or her past." What? So whenever he avoided me, it

was because he didn't want to see? Wait, this sounds like a lie.

 

"And you think I'd believe that?" I say, trying hard to sound harsh. Ren averts his glance and stares at the wall instead of me.

 

"Do I really need to retell you? How you lost your parents? You actually believe me, don't you?" His piercing stare makes me gulp.

 

"Anyway, just go on." My voice is shaking. I fight the truth. I don't wanna hear it.

 

"First time I saw the past you, you were alone. And there was your mother, eventually your father next door. But no sister. Didn't you

say they took her away back then?" I said that. But they did, didn't they?

 

"If that's all I'll leave now." I indicate to leave, but Ren holds me back as he grabs my wrist.

 

"Not all." He says assertively. His stare, so intense, I can't get away from that boy...

 

"I witnessed the exact same thing every time I got to see a fragment of your memory. But sometimes I can't see anything at all. Just like

right now." He points at his hand holding my wrist. My gaze follows his. "However, that's not all. I saw a part of her past as well." This

statement makes me feel uncomfortable. Really uncomfortable. I'm afraid of what is next. Hope my expression doesn't leak... "And she

was indeed there with a boy. And a dog. You never had one, right? And the boy, I saw his face. Definitely not yours. I would recognize

your face immediately." Ren blushes as he splutters that last part. He clears his throat. By the way, he never talked that much before.

Is it just for me? I can't manage to say anything all this time, my brain works hard connecting those little pieces and it leads me closer

to the conclusion I don't want to acknowledge. "And last but not least" He takes a deep breath "I saw a weird change in her aura today.

As if she only pretended to be someone she isn't. With... really bad  ulterior motive." Aura? Change? I have no idea what he's talking

about.

 

"Five minutes are over. We wish you out now." The deep voice announces trough the speakers, but I'm too confused to move.

What was it I should believe? Or whom? Ren could've made this up to make me choose him. But I really have no memories of the past,

including my so-called sister. My eyes wander around restlessly, when Ren suddenly pulls me closer and forces his lips onto mine. The

touch of his warm, soft lips - it feels like falling. And remembers me that he is a living being, no matter what kind of crap X claims. A

gentle prickle takes over my body, and my vision goes black. I, however, am not afraid, for I am save in Ren's embrace.

 

 

Ren's POV

 

I didn't intend to use drastic measures like this, but I need to show him. I have no idea if this will work out at all, but an inner voice told

me that he can regain his memory that way. That I can give them to him. Finally I can be useful to him.

 

JR's lips are warm and salty. I feel his body tense out of surprise, but he soon closes his eyes and releases tension, and so do I. For a

brief moment, we are one. Our thoughts are one. The same pictures flash trough our mind. If this moment would last forever, I wouldn't

mind dying.

 

When we finally have to separate our lips, JR's eyes are wide open. He holds me by my shoulders, and I his cheek. This let's

him regain consciousness.

 

"This... it's all... true." He whispers, so quiet only I could hear. I can only vaguely imagine what goes through his mind right now. It must

be so hard to handle. His expression still blank, he looks at me, and I understand exactly what he wants. Without talking, we know. We

have to get out of here. A difficult operation and no time to make up a plan. We'll need to blindly depend on each other. A small nod of

JR signalizes me that the time has come. He casually walks towards the door, it opens by itself. He steps out, smiles at the woman still

waiting there and - punches her directly into the pit of the stomach. With a silent cough she breaks down. I am surprised at his sudden

action. An excusing look steals on his face, he hates violence especially hitting women. I quickly follow him, and together, we sneak

through the long corridors. The problem is, we have no idea where to go.

 

"Wait!" I grab his sleeve. "Back me up. I only need a minute." Since my head is clearer now, I hope that I can pull up this trick and find

the entrance. I concentrate and close my eyes. Exit... Got it. I now lead the way. Happiness overruns me. If this works out so well, we'll

be able to escape without further complications. I should've known it wouldn't be that easy.

 

"Somebody's coming!" I hiss, and shortly after two men dressed in black slide around the corner before us and block the way. Thanks

to my warning, JR is faster and quickly takes one out. I manipulate the other one. While running, JR throws a happy smile at me, and I

respond to it. From now on, nothing can separate us.

 

Or so I thought. Upon reaching the entrance hall, JR freezes at the spot. I, too, stop, staring at the scenery in front of me. First of all,

the exit is blocked by another two men. Then, there's JR's 'sister', smiling at us mischievously. And caught between strong arms,

impossible to move-

 

"Baekho!" JR's scream echoes tough the wide room. "The hell is he doing here?!" Anger takes over him, and he's about to start

another fight, when I hug him from behind, holding him back, making his anger fade.

 

"Don't act rash now, hyung!" He breathes heavily, but calms down rather fast.

 

"X, what's going on. How the hell - and more importantly, why?" The desperation in his words is so clearly noticeable, that a cold, high

laugher, like a ringing bell, sounds from the other side of the room. It's her.

 

"Oh really, poor boy. You fought so hard for your precious sister, found out the truth only years after, almost managed to escape and

still get caught up in here. And now you'll have to watch your closest friend get killed." The woman that pretended to be his sister

laughs. Such an ugly personality, and she's so good at hiding it.

 

"And even you!" She points at me "Even you believed me! I really should've become an actress."

 

"Bastards." JR curses, but he looks exhausted all of a sudden. As expected, he can't control his emotions anymore. Who could

blame him for it? His inside must be totally broken.

 

"But why Baekho?"

 

An amused grin on the woman's face.

 

"Kang Dongho is the son of the director of a successful company that messed with us in the past. And they caused a whole lot of

problems. We lost a lot of money. And now it's their time to pay, now that the son's identity is revealed." I clench my fists and wish there

was something I could do. Something more than just standing here, looking at their ugly colors and that desperate JR in front of me.

 

"Witness his last moments. And now that you know so much about us, you'll be next."

 

I glance at the tied up Baekho. His eyes are filled with fear as a man points his gun at him. His fingers are about to pull the trigger as I

sprint forward, without thinking, into the direct line of the bullet.

 

BANG.

 

A gunshot resounds.

 

 

 

--------------------------------

diiiiiislike the chapter, it's crappy written, please don't kill me for it D:
 

Apart that... Haha Ren actually takes the initiative. And kisses JR. Gosh how I wanted to write that~ I think normally it would be JR who comes up with stuff like that.

And well, since you all wanted me to continue, I will :) And the suspense won't last that much longer, I promise! You'll get some cute Jren chapters then~
