---Uptown---

 

        Ukwon sat crying in Minhyuk's arms. The cuddled on Ukwon's bed, the feared for their safety from Jaehyo. Jaehyo had snapped and they didn't know who he was anymore. He was a completely different person. "Do you think we'll ever get our Jaehyo back?" Ukwon looked up to Minhyuk with concerned and scared eyes. Minhyuk shook his head, "kitty..there's no telling. He's so engulfed with this war he's gone insane." Ukwon was thinking in his mind as Minhyuk was talking. He interrupted, "so, do you think that if we win, we'll get him back?" Again Minhyuk shook his head, to be honest he had no idea. He sat looking toward the door, waiting. He sighed and looked over to the cowering Kitty. He had a plan, but he had no idea if it would spark his interest. It didn't matter it had to be said. "Kitty...we can't do this alone. The Black Dragon divisions are following everything Jaehyo is saying. They see nothing wrong with him!...we need to go get help." What Minhyuk said was right, but to Ukwon it was wrong, it only meant ONE thing. The needed help, from the enemy. "I know it's not what you want, but it's our only choice. They hate Jaehyo and we want him back. The only way to get him to open his eyes is an all out betrayal." A shove caused Minhyuk to fall back, "no!!...we can't. I know we can do this, the Tigers will just destroy him. They won't help us get him back!" Minhyuk stood up and yelled, "WHAT OTHER CHOICE DO WE HAVE!!??" he panted and swallowed hard. The first time he ever stood up for himself, felt so wrong. "Kitty, we can negotiate this. Pyo is on their side, we can talk this out!...just let us try. Please?" Minhyuk was ignored, Ukwon walked to his bed after being yelled at. He tried holding in his tears but he couldn't. He bursts out crying and holding himself. Everything Ukwon loved was being torn apart. His emotions, his gang, his...family. Minhyuk sat by the desperate Ukwon and hugged him softly. "We'll stay....for Jaehyo. We need to keep him under control." Minhyuk looked down, he felt so wrong staying there. But it was for Ukwon. The man he loved, til' the end of the earth. "If one thing goes wrong Kitty, we're running to the Downtown. Promise?" Ukwon looked to Minhyuk and smiled, "P-Promise...but we need to stay strong Minhyuk. I know Jaehyo is insane and ed up, but we need to stay by his side." Minhyuk nodded in agreement and took Ukwon's hand. "For Jaehyo."

 

          Jaehyo laid in the plush bed and stared to the ceiling. He was going over everything that had happened. The plan was failing, Pyo was probably dead on the street, if not that he was getting help by the Tigers. He laid thinking of what he could do next. He looked over to the ripped family picture. "Mama....your boy isn't doing so well. Everything is falling apart. What do I do!?" He sat up, he felt his head pounding. He continued talking to nothing. "I need your brain mother! You were so good on counter plans." He sighed, "the Red Tigers are probably planning....." Jaehyo went silent, a small smirk came across his face. The small smirk soon turned into a large grin. Jaehyo went over and kissed the picture. "You're a genius Jaehyo. You're beautiful, perfect, and overall a brilliant genius!" He laughed loudly and put the picture down. He went to the small bar and walked to the balcony holding one small shot. He raised it to the air, the moon light hit the cup and shimmered with the alcohol. "To a new beginning mother! All we have to do is wait..." he downed the shot and dropped the cup leaving it to shatter. "As those idiots plan. I'll be waiting. Just to counter plan...it was all here~ all I needed to do was wait. Wait and see what the Tigers would be up to. Just to get my revenge." He sat down next to the bar observing the large room. "I was so busy attacking, I forgot about defense." He put one foot down over the broken glass. The pain did nothing. Jaehyo's body was so infused with insanity that nothing could hurt him now. He left bloody foot prints and walked to the corner of his room. "Aiya~ Taeilie~ I guess the disappointment of an heir will have his last ride." He crouched down to a small fish plush toy. "You should never leave your toys lying around Taeilie." He giggled and lifted up the dusty small toy. "A nursery fit for a leader~ is what my mother told me Taeilie." He looked to the plush toy and squeezed it tightly. "So I guess your room will do, she told me. We took all your toys...and burned them." He smirked and took the toy closer to the balcony. "If your not getting it yet Taeil....this was your room. And like always, the strongest prevailed." Jaehyo held the toy and dropped it down the balcony. The toy fell to the ground. "All good things must fall...except me of course. I'm better than great. I'm fantastic."

 

---Downtown---

 

           Taeil awoke and looked around, another bad dream. He looked to the clock and saw that it was only 4:30 a.m. He looked to see no one in his room. Did Kyung and Zico leave? He went to get up and see but the pain hit his side. He thought it would have at least healed a little by now. He saw the moon and smiled. It gave him a little peace to think that Pyo was looking at it from somewhere. He sighed and hung his feet over the bed. He pressed one foot to the floor. The pressure caused Taeil to let out a small groan. "A-Aghh...." He pressed the other foot down, the only way to beat the pain is by strength. Just like his conscious said, "the only way to beat the problem, is finding the source." Right now Taeil had to beat the pain, beat it so he can get stronger to defeat Jaehyo. He stood up slowly and adjusted himself to keep steady. He took small steps forward. He held on to his fish tank for support. He smiled to the swimming fish. "Y-You're so free..." Taeil panted. "You...c-can do anything you like. A-And no one would...judge you." Taeil smiled and felt himself get a little dizzy. "They judge you anyway....right?" Taeil sighed and watched the small fish swim faster. "T-They'll say...you're nothing! Y-You can't do anything right!" Taeil felt tears in his eyes, he was projecting his own life on the innocent fish. "Next thing you know....y-you'll be in something...you n-never wanted to be in.." Taeil looked to the small fish laying on the bottom rocks. He got worried and crouched down in pain to see whats wrong. "No!....please don't die!...I didn't mean it!" Taeil cried and touched the glass. The fish swam away and left little eggs on the bottom floor. Taeil's eyes widened and he bit his lip giggling. "Y-You're going to be a mommy?" He giggled and looked at the small eggs. "At least...you have something to live for now...right? After this battle...what's my purpose?" Taeil put his forehead on the glass. "To be with me..." Taeil looked up to a tall man in his window. The man stood tall and beaten. "Your purpose, is to be my wife." Taeil felt his cheeks get warm, the pain in his side had subsided. He felt so happy. He jumped up and hugged Pyo tightly. His arms wrapped around his neck. He felt so complete, so warm. He pulled his face away from his neck and looked him in the eye. "Please...don't leave me EVER again." Taeil started crying and he but his lip looking at the beaten Pyo. "I'm sorry...but I can't stay long. They'll kill you if I'm here!! Taeil..I just wanted to see if you're safe." Taeil quickly responded, "no! Pyo they just said that to scare you...they think you're a traitor." Taeil got closer to Pyo's lips and softly kissed him. "But I don't believe that~ you wouldn't hurt anyone. I know you wouldn't!" Taeil looked desperately to Pyo for the truth. Pyo stood out of the window and smiled, "Taeilie I love you..." That's all Taeil needed to hear, he embraced him tightly and cried. "Pyo please come in. It's cold out!" Pyo smiled, but shook his head. "I can't....listen your family doesn't like me. If I'm caught you'll get in trouble. Sorry Taeilie." It was unfair. The man Taeil wanted to be with, wanted to love couldn't be with him. It was so unfair that Taeil felt rage toward his gang. All he wanted was Pyo, that's all he needed! He cried and grabbed on to Pyo. "It's ok...please come in! I promise, everything will be ok!" Pyo looked Taeil in his eyes, they sparkled like the stars in the sky. He smiled to him and put his foot in, soon Pyo was fully in the room. Taeil looked up to him and smiled, finally he could look at his man all together. He hugged him, he s his arms around his neck and smiled. He lightly kissed him, it turned more deep and passionate. Pyo took in the kiss and put his arms around the little ones waist. Taeil twitched in pain, a tear fell from his face. Pyo took his thumb and wiped the tear, he rested his forehead on Taeil's and stared. "You're hurt aren't you?" Taeil nodded, "Jaehyo, he shot me in the side...I'll be ok. Kyung and Zico have been taking care of me." Pyo looked worried, he sighed and looked down. He felt like it was his fault. If he looked in the box previously then he would still be close to Taeil. He would have never got shot. Taeil lifted Pyo's head and looked at him. "I said I'll be ok. You don't have to worry ok?" A small chuckle left Taeil's lips. Pyo smiled in response, "ok...I believe you."

 

          Taeil sat down on the bed, he signaled Pyo to do the same. Pyo sat next to him grabbing his side. Taeil watched the other in pain. He grabbed Pyo's shoulders and laid him down. Taeil went over to the cup of water and towels Kyung left earlier. He took the water and soaked the towel. He pressed it firmly on the others side. "This is going to hurt, but I promise it'll feel better." Pyo groaned in pain, he but his lip and whimpered. Taeil felt sorry but it had to be done. He removed the towel and watched the bruise surface. He took the bandage and wrapped it around the bruise. Pyo watched as Taeil mothered him and he giggled. "Thanks honey." Taeil blushed and shook his head, "n-no problem...." Taeil smiled to the good job he did and he laid beside Pyo. He kissed his cheek lightly. "I'm glad you're here.." Pyo turned his head and grinned, "I was never away Taeilie." He giggled and touched Taeil's face. He felt the soft skin, just to see if he was real. Taeil smiled, he snuggled into the taller male and laid his head on his chest. Taeil heard the wind blow and ruffle papers on his desk. He looked, he once again went to his side from pain. He really needed to calm down his reactions. He got up and shut the window, the chill caused him to shiver. He looked back to the paper with blood marks all over them. He limped over and took a clean sheet. He observed it and looked over his shoulder. "Jihoonie?....can I ask you a favor?"

 

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

Ok ok ok ok I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING!! "Kpoppingit quit making your chapters so short! We want more TaePyo!!" Sorry guys~ （ ｉ _ ｉ ）it's just so hard, and I like to drag out my chapters so theres A LOT of them. Please enjoy the suspense!

 

**EXTRA**

Ok I made an ask chart for you guys, just in case you get confused. I know you wonder what's going on in my head SO here it is! If you have any questions I'll answer them in my new EXTRA segment! Ask away!

 

1) "Why is Ukwon staying?" Ukwon is as loyal as a 2nd man can get. I know you want him to leave and say " it, I'm out!" But Ukwon is very loyal and he believes in Jaehyo. (For some odd reason)

 

2) Minhyuk is Ukwon's puppy so whatever Ukwon does, he does also.

 

3) "Taeil gets told a lot of positive stuff happening. Why does he always second guess?" 

a lot of positive things happen or is said to Taeil, but he will always look on the negative side of things. It's just his nature to think bad. Since only bad stuff happens. (Debby downer)

 

4) "After all these years why hasn't Jaehyo gone insane? Why now?"

Well, Jaehyo has always had insanity problems. It came from his family. He has really just been bottling them up. When he found out the rightful heir was still alive he FLIPPED . Now he's not stopping til' his revenge is fulfilled. He's getting worse and worse.

 

5) "Why is Jaehyo so narcissistic?" 

He's a ing handsome guy, that's why.

 

((Any other Questions please ask! I'll be happy to answer them!!))
