[Daesung’s POV]

I smiled as I looked at Seungri who pointed his gun at me.

“Go ahead…Do it…” I muttered.

Seungri bent down to my level and pressed the gun against my forehead.

“Why should I do it?” He asked me.

“Because I said so…” I muttered.

Seungri stood up and backed up a few feet.

He kept the gun aimed at me and looked behind him at Taeyang.

I coughed and some more blood came out of my mouth.

I looked behind him at Taeyang and behind Taeyang was Su-Min.

I smiled.

Seungri faced me again and pulled out his handcuffs, he started to walk back over to me as I slowly reached into my jacket to pull something out.

“Keep your hands where I can see them!” He yelled.

I ignored him and continued to reach into my jacket to pull something out.

As soon as my hand came out of my jacket Seungri shot me right in the chest.

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

[Haewon’s POV]

I looked at the words before me on the piece of paper.

When I read,

‘Dear my beloved sister Haewon,’ I knew it was from my brother so I kept reading on and soon I heard his voice reading it with me too.

“I know I haven’t been such a great brother to you most of our life. You know that I do love you and wish the best for you. You’re words spoke through me and I never cared about what you thought these past few days and months. I was cruel to many of the people whom you cared for…especially Daesung and for that I am very sorry…”

Then images of when we were little popped into my head and tears continued to fall from my eyes and down my cheeks.

I couldn’t help but break down crying when I read this letter.

It continued and I still heard his voice reading it,

“Haewon I love you so much and the mission we are about to do…I don’t know if I will come back alive…and if I do get out of it I will be in prison for the rest of my life…I hope you are ready to accept the fact of that.

Haewon, I just want to let you know that once again I am sorry that I couldn’t give you the best childhood after mom and dad died. Sometimes I had wished that things were normal too. We all…”

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

[Seunghyun’s POV]

“I don’t know how much longer I am going to be able to stay awake Jiyong…” I softly let slip through my lips.

“I can feel myself slipping away.” I added.

“You have to stay alive Seunghyun, for your sister!” Jiyong yelled.

I closed my eyes and shook my head.

“By now…She’s probably reading the letter I left for her right now…” I said softly.

[Haewon’s voice]

“don’t get our wishes now do we…I want to let you also know that it is okay for you to love whoever you want…I was wrong for you to not love Daesung. He is a good guy and I am just very jealous of him.”

[Back to Seunghyun]

“I am very protective of you my sister and wish that nothing will ever harm you. I can see that in Daesung’s eyes he will not let anything or anyone touch you. He cares a lot for you and when you read this I hope you and him will be able to love and make up for the time lost because of me.” I coughed after I finished the sentences and tried to continue.

[Back to Daesung but Seunghyun’s voice is reading the letter still]

“Haewon when you read this letter the time before you get will be the last time you will see me…There is a possibility that I will die in the next few moments and I hope you can grasp that fact. I know it’ll hurt you very much but I know that Daesung will be able to get through this mission alive and come back to you. Haewon…”

Daesung instantly coughed up blood after Seungri shot him.

Su-Min started to scream and ran over to Seungri punching his chest.

Seungri just stood there ignoring her.

He stared at Daesung who was lifeless but looked like he was just sleeping.

Taeyang walked past the two and over to Daesung.

He bent down he looked at Daesung’s face, his eyes were still open.

Taeyang shook his head.

[Showing Haewon, she’s reading some more of the letter]

“I love you so, so, so much and again, I am very sorry.

Goodbye…

Love,

Your brother Choi, Seunghyun.”

She held the letter tight to her and squeezed her eyes shut, the tears still coming out.

[Seunghyun’s POV…still]

I looked up at Jiyong; tears were coming from his eyes.

I couldn’t help but release the tears from my eyes too.

I knew at this point I would never see Haewon again…for a long time.

I just hope that Daesung made it out of this okay so he could take care of my beloved sister…

“Jiyong…I don’t have much time left…” I said softly.

He wiped his tears away and nodded.

“Is there anything you would like for me to do?” He asked.

“Please…take care of my precious Haewon…” I softly said looking at him, the tears still coming out of my eyes…They wouldn’t stop even if I had control over them.

Jiyong nodded.

“Okay…” He said choking on the tears.

“And Jiyong…Tell her goodbye…for me again….” I said coughing some more…I couldn’t speak anymore, I feel like I lost my voice.

My time was almost up.

Jiyong nodded to that and he started to lose it.

‘Why’…why was he not killing me at this point…

He had so many chances too…

[Taeyang’s POV]

I looked at Daesung, his eyes were opened but there was no life in them.

I sighed and a few tears left my eyes.

I placed my hand over his eyes and closed them.

Then I took his hand he was holding something in it.

“There wasn’t a gun…” I said under my breath.

“There wasn’t a gun!” I then yelled.

“What?” Seungri said looking at me.

“He wasn’t pulling out a gun!” I yelled again.

“He pulled out a piece of paper!” I added.

Seungri walked over to me and looked at Daesung, in his hand was a bloodied piece of paper folded in a square.

He took it out and opened it.

“Dear my love Haewon,

I love you so much and as soon as this mission is over I can’t wait to finally be married to you! I am glad that your brother finally saw that we both are perfect for each other. I hope you are waiting patiently for my return along with your brother. We are both anxious to see you.

I love you so much Haewon!

Goodbye…for now

Love,

Kang, Daesung”

Seungri folded the paper back up and threw it down.

“DANG IT!” He yelled and kicked the car.

“He just couldn’t wait to get married” I said looking at him.

Su-Min was in the back crying.

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

[Seunghyun’s POV]

Just a few more moments and I will be gone…

I will probably never see my sister again…

The tears kept coming out of my eyes and I couldn’t make them stop.

I couldn’t speak; the blood just kept coming out.

My chest and stomach felt like it was on fire.

I just wanted it all to go away.

I wish I was a kid again so I could change things.

I should have talked my dad into not killing Daesung’s parents…

I should have never bothered Jiyong in the first place.

I should have never taken Su-Min.

I should have never interfered in Haewon’s life…

Now I’m going to die and I can’t do anything about it.

I opened my mouth as to speak something, but couldn’t.

My body kept shaken and I kept coughing.

Jiyong held onto me tight.

“Don’t die Seunghyun!” He yelled.

He pulled me up into a hug and held me there.

I opened my mouth and tried to say something again.

I moved my hand up to his shoulder and squeezed it.

He was crying really hard, I could feel him shake every time he sobbed.

“Please don’t die Seunghyun!” He kept saying.

“You have to make it, for your sister!” He added.

“Please!” He continued.

I could hear him but I couldn’t respond.

I tried to stop the tears from falling but couldn’t control them.

My mind kept going blank and I could see images of me as a kid again playing with Haewon.

~Past~

“Brother!” Haewon yelled as she ran to me.

I turned around and smiled at her.

My parents were sitting outside on the back porch of the mansion and we were playing in the field. They were watching us play, next to them stood Daesung. He was about 8 years old now.

He just stood there watching us wrestle around on the ground.

I picked Haewon up and swung her around and when I saw Daesung I stopped and place her down.

“Aye!” I yelled out to Daesung.

He looked over at me.

“You want to play?” I said aloud.

He only shook his head.

I walked over to him and my parents looked over at Daesung.

“You should go play, go have fun” my mother said smiling.

Daesung looked at her and tears started to form in his eyes.

“What’s wrong?” She asked

When I reached Daesung I looked at him.

“Wha? Are you crying?” I asked. “Stop being such a brat!” I yelled. “Come and play with us!” I added.

He just looked at me and shook his head.

I grabbed his arms and took him off the porch and into the field over to my sister who was waiting for me.

“Hi!” Haewon said smiling and waving at Daesung.

Daesung smiled at her and waved back.

“Hi” He said so soft.

I looked at him.

“Will you play with us?” Haewon asked.

Daesung looked at her and nodded.

“What!” I yelled. “You’ll play if she asked, but not when I ask?” I said pointing to myself.

Daesung smiled at Haewon and she smiled back.

“Hello? Are you listening?” I said tapping his head.

He shook it and looked at me.

“What?” He asked.

I just gave him a look and tackled him to the ground.

We stayed there wrestling.

That was really the first time I saw him smile or laugh…

~End past~

My life kept slipping away.

After that memory passed through my mind my body kept shaking and wouldn’t stop.

Jiyong held onto me tighter and kept yelling ‘please hold on.’

Then my mind went blank again and another memory came.

~Past~

I looked at floor, nothing was there but I was just looking at it.

Minho our mafia doctor was talking to me, but I wasn’t looking at him.

I was about 16 years old now.

“Seunghyun…I’m sorry but your parents were killed earlier this afternoon.” He said placing a hand on my shoulder. I just stood there. Around the corner were Haewon and Daesung. They were listening.

Then came another tall man, his name was Taemin. He was the family lawyer. He handed me a white envelope and I looked at it.

“As your father’s wishes…You will take over the family mafia. Everything you need to know is in this letter. Good luck Seunghyun.” He said looking at me.

I turned my head to look him in the eyes and nodded. I bowed and showed them to the door.

I turned around and faced the opened area.

“Haewon” I called out.

She appeared from behind the wall and walked over to me.

“Neh Brother” She quietly said looking at me.

“I’m sure you heard about mom and dad.” I said clearing my throat.

She nodded.

“Neh…” She said softly. I then turned my gaze to the side and saw Daesung. Something changed from then on out.

My mood switched and I was a different person. Since that day I was the Mafia leader…Was I ready to take on the responsibility.

I just stood there looking at the wall and Haewon walked off and over to Daesung.

“Stay away from him” I muttered.

She stopped walking and looked at me.

“What why?” She asked.

“Because I said so” I muttered.

Daesung just looked at me.

“But Seunghyun” He quietly said to me.

“Don’t but me…From now on I am your boss…” I muttered and walked away.

Daesung and Haewon looked at each other.

~End past~

After that memory ended I coughed up a lot of blood and it was trickling down my chin and dripping on the floor.

I hand was still on Jiyong’s shoulder and I could feel it slipping off a little bit but I grabbed onto his shoulder.

My mind started to go blank again and this time It was the last memory I would remember.

~Past~

This time we were getting ready to start the mission we are on now.

They were getting ready to leave but I needed to stop Daesung for a moment…

“Daesung” I called out to him

He turned to face me.

“Yeah…” he responded.

“Can we talk real quick…?” I asked him in a soft voice.

He looked at me and nodded.

He haven’t seen this softness in me in years.

He followed behind me to the hallway and I leaned against the wall.

He then looked at me.

“What’s wrong with you?” Daesung asked.

I looked at him.

“Daesung…I’m sorry…” I said trying to look away from him.

Daesung just looked at me.

“What…what did you just say?” He asked.

“I said I was sorry…” I repeated in a soft voice.

“For what Seunghyun?” Daesung then asked.

“Everything…” I said sadly. “Everything…” I repeated. “I should have let you and Haewon be together. I guess you could say I was being over protective…” I continued. “It’s my fault you both are unhappy and I made your life miserable for years after I took command of this mafia.” I said looking up at him. “You are an amazing person Daesung and I am sorry that I wasn’t a good best friend to you…I wish we could have had the friendship we had when we were kids.” I added. “But…I’ve changed and I became a horrible, horrible person…” I continued.

Daesung looked at me and the tears started to form in his eyes.

“Seunghyun…It’s not your fault this all happened. Everyone plays their piece in this game…I had my share of bad mishaps too…” Daesung responded to me. “You are an awesome brother Seunghyun…I thank your family for taking me in even if your family was the one who killed mine. I grew up knowing how to take care of myself…” He said as he leaned against the wall opposite of me.

We looked at the ground then looked up and made eye contact.

“I’m sorry…” I said again. “Daesung…if you come back alive out of this…I give you permission to marry my little sister…” I said trying to smile. The tears started to fall from my eyes.

He hasn’t seen me cry since we were children. Come to think of it…I never really did cry…

Daesung just looked at me as I took a ring out of my pocket and placed it in his hand. Daesung opened his hand and looked at it.

“Seunghyun…This…” He started to say

“It was my mother’s engagement ring. I want you to propose to Haewon, Daesung…” I interrupted.

He just looked at me.

“I want you and Haewon to be able to be happy together forever…If I don’t come out of this alive…This mafia is disbanded…I don’t want you and Haewon having to live with this heavy burden on your shoulders…” I added.

The tears in Daesung’s eyes started to fall.

“What can I say Seunghyun?” He said through the tears.

“Will you marry me…to my sister” I said smiling and trying to laugh through the tears.

Daesung started to laugh and I then continued to laugh.

He gave me a hug and I returned it.

“I love you like you were my brother Daesung…” I said in his ear as we hugged.

“I love you too Seunghyun” Daesung responded back.

Haewon turned down the hallway and saw us hugging.

“Brother? Daesung?” She said looking at us.

Daesung and I broke apart from the hug and wiped away our tears.

~End Past~

I smiled through the tears and the blood coming out of my mouth.

I squeezed Jiyong’s shoulder and lifted up my head a little bit to his ear.

“Goodbye…” I whispered and closed my eyes.

Jiyong kept crying and muttering.

“Don’t die!” He yelled as he held me tighter. My hand that was on his shoulder slowly lets go and slipped off and hit the floor next to me.

I was gone.

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

[Nobodies’ POV]

At the moment that Seunghyun’s hand hit the floor Daesung’s eyes flickered open and he coughed.

Taeyang turned around and faced him; he ran over and bent down.

“Daesung!” he yelled “Can you hear me.”

Daesung kept coughing and blood kept coming out from his mouth and the bullet wounds.

“Seungri! Call 119!” Taeyang yelled

Seungri took off to his police car to call for back up.

Su-Min was crying and ran over to Daesung.

“Daesung!” She yelled and placed a hand on him.

Daesung looked up at her and then back down.

“Seunghyun…” Daesung whispered under his breath.

“Kimi no koe setsunaku fade away” He added.

“Don’t tell me goodbye…”
