The Mafia's Chronicles"I miss you my sunshine," Baekhyun whispers into her wars while caressing her back.
Taken by surprise at the sudden action, Yumi feels so embarrassed. She pulls away from the hug and pushes Baekhyun on the chest.
"How dare you?" She questions with anger evident in her eyes and her hand up, ready to slap Baekhyun. But the moment her eyes and that of Baekhyun meet in a lock, Yumi's anger immediately vanishes from her heart.
She slowly drops her hand, but never breaking eye contact with the man staring at her.
"Who are you?" She asked in a calm tone, "And why did you call me your sunshine?"
Baekhyun stares at his wife and for the time being, he becomes speechless. Fate is so cruel to him. After many years of missing his beloved wife, thinking that she's gone, and now suddenly he's standing I front of her but can't even kiss her and tell her how much he misses her.
He sighs in frustration, he wants to tell her the truth, but he also can't risk it. She might run away or her condition may get worse.
"I'm Byun Baekhyun, the formal major general in the army from thirteen years ago. I'm so sorry I hugged you and called you my sunshine, just that I'm your biggest fan and I've heard about your achievement so far." Baekhyun says with a smile, a bittersweet smile as he longs for his wife in his arms.
Yumi nods slowly before bowing in respect. "I'm sorry I pushed you away and also yelled at you. I was just feeling insecure about a few issues."
"It's okay, I understand. Well, I'm with my men to relocate you and your men to my estate in the city with the consent of the inspector general. You see it's not that safe around here and it's a bit boring. So I thought you might like the estate in the city, it's full of life and you can have a perfect view of the city." Baekhyun knows how much she loves the city. He knows how much she loves the beautiful evening lights so he used those exact words.
On hearing Baekhyun's words, Yumi smiles as she loves the idea so much. Yumi looks at her men and they all seem okay with it.
"Well, that's nice. So when do we leave?"
"Right now, that's if it's okay with you. And just so you know, I'm here with my men to help out in packing your stuff to the estate."
Yumi nods to his words. There's nothing to think twice about, after all, she hates the surroundings.
"Okay, you can start with the packing." She says before turning to face Johnny. "I will go with Mr. Byun to have a look at the estate and talk to him about a few things, while you supervise the packing here."
Johnny didn't say a word. He looks at Baekhyun and Sehun before looking at Yumi.
"Please can I have a word with you in private?" Johnny asked.
"Sure, let's go," Yumi says calmly. She knows that something is bothering Johnny due to his tone.
"Tell me, what's wrong?" She asked him when they were alone and Johnny simply sighs.
"Do you trust him?" Johnny asked in a low tone.
"Baekhyun?"
"Yes. I mean look at the way he hugged you and even caressed your back as if you're both in a romantic relationship, and you didn't even slap him. I'm sorry but I don't trust him."
"Well, I do trust him. And yes I couldn't slap him because… Because…." Yumi stops and looks at Johnny, unable to answer the simple question.
'Why didn't I slap him?' Yumi wonders, but then she lets it off her mind and looks back at Johnny.
"Look John, I trust Baekhyun and I want you to trust him as well. If that's all you have to say, then I guess we're done here. Please take care of it and meet us there."
"Okay," Johnny mutters and leave Yumi behind. He gets to the open hall, and look at Baekhyun's direction, but he is shocked at the sight Baekhyun is in.
Baekhyun looks sad and his hands are trembling as if he's scared of something. Johnny pulls out his gun and makes his way towards Baekhyun in case there's an emergency.
"What's wrong? You look suspicious." Johnny asked while pointing his gun towards Baekhyun.
Baekhyun stares at him and slowly gaze down to the gun in his hands, and his phobia kicks in. The phobia that suddenly became a part of his life after witnessing Ema shooting his wife in front of him.
He once love that object so much and he enjoys holding it, but right now just seeing it on the television throws him into a pathetic start and his phobia kicks in immediately.
He looks around in search of Sehun for help and at that moment he feels so pathetic. He tries to talk calmly with Johnny, but the man seems to be angry and not ready to listen.
"I knew you were a bad man the very moment I saw you. I knew that something was wrong. Tell me who you are and who sent you over here else I won't hesitate to shoot you with this gun." He points the gun to Baekhyun's chest and the memories of the past start rushing into his head like a hurricane, and he
