A loud “bang” at the front door of the hide out made Junsu open his tired eyes. Yoochun was still sleeping cutely in his embrace.
“They're out! Hyung they're out!” one of his men came in screaming and Junsu sight in relief “Minho is injured. They're following them”
After that, a chaos dominated the hide out. People were running up and down in panic, thinking of what to do. Junsu gently laid Yoochun on the bed and came out of his room.
“What happened?” he asked the younger boy in front of him, who now was crying his eyes out “Taemin, what happened?”
The boy looked at him and immediately run and hugged him “They were caught at the last minute. They shot Minho. He's badly injured. They're running away from the hide out but I don't know if Minho hyung can handle it”
Junsu got pale. Yunho was injured too and now Minho. He cursed under his breath “I knew I should have done something before they try to escape.”
“Now what?” another rebel asked, ready to follow every Junsu's order.
Junsu sighed “They only thing we can do is distraction. We will split in two teams. One team goes to help the them and the other will distract them”
“I will let the others know”
“You have fifteen minutes to get ready” Junsu ordered and after he calmed Taemin down he rushed inside his room.
Yoochun was still sleeping peacefully and Junsu felt bad. He was so precious and innocent but yet he had to fall in love with a rebel. If something wrong happened to him, Junsu would have blamed himself. Yoochun didn't deserve a life like that, he deserved so much better.
Junsu would never forgive himself for destroying his life. It was his fault.
“Su yah?” a deep worrying voice interrupted his thoughts and just then Junsu realized that his lover was awake.
“You're awake? I'm sorry” Junsu hurried next to him and softly brushed Yoochun's pretty long hair.
“What's wrong? You look troubled” Yoochun laid his head on Junsu's lap and closed his eyes again.
“Baby... they managed to escape” Junsu said and swallowed. Yoochun smiled in satisfaction and curled closer to Junsu.
“I knew it! Are they here already?”
“No... there... there's something more” this time Yoochun's eyes snapped open and he moved to a sitting position, looking at his boyfriend with questioning eyes. “They shot Minho”
“What?”
“Baby, calm down” Junsu patted his back but Yoochun panicked more. “Yoochun ah... please”
Yoochun breathed and stared at Junsu “You have to go, right?” he asked but regretted. He knew the answer and he really didn't want to hear it coming from Junsu's mouth.
“If I don't go, they are doomed. I'm their leader and I have to help them”
“I know” he whispered and refused to look at Junsu. Looking at him was already painful. What if they catch him?
“Yoochun look at me” Junsu asked but Yoochun didn't do as he was told so he gently cupped his face and made him lock eyes with him “Baby I promise you that I'll be careful. I promise you that I won't let them catch me”
Yoochun nodded but his tears were running down his face like rivers “Be careful. I'll be right here waiting for you”
Junsu kissed Yoochun's nose and wiped his tears with a smile on his face. He was really trying not to break down too “You better be awake when I come back. I have lots of plans for tonight”
Yoochun managed to laugh between his sobs and kissed Junsu deeply before letting him go. This was going to be a really long day.

Jaejoong was crying. He didn't know why he was crying. He heard that Yunho succeeded in escaping but this could take his mind at ease. He had a feeling that something bad was going to happen. He knew that something was wrong.
Yoochun wasn't there and at this time he felt helpless. He had to go and find Yunho. He needed to be with him, instead of being in this stupid, cold house waiting like a prince for others to do what he was supposed to do. He had to support his lover, he had to be next to him, helping him and taking care of his injuries.
This waiting was killing him and his father's screams were pissing him off completely. After the guards informed them about the escape, the head had gone crazy. He was about to kill everyone in the room with him and Jaejoong preferred to find some peace in his room. Well that wasn't possible because his father was too loud when he was mad. He was so lost in his thoughts and he didn't notice the maid inside his room.
“Young m-master” she shuttered and tried to take his attention “Your fa-father wants to talk to you”
Jaejoong's eyes landed on her when she said the key word 'father'. He nodded and waved her to leave the room.
He quickly calmed himself down for the sake of his relationship and wiped his tears. He knew that his father was up to something but he had no idea what. He had no plans to find out what was that because it was obviously not good. He stoop up confidently and run downstairs, to his father's office.

“So ,where's Yoochun?” Jaejoong frozen for a moment but when he saw that his father was casually asking, he relaxed.
“He didn't tell me. I guess he is with his best friend. Can't remember his name... Choi's younger son” Jaejoong was used to lie about Yoochun's action.
“I really like that kid! He is a good influence for our Yoochun. He was born to be a leader but he was born in the wrong family. I love his passion for killing rebels” the head was so excited for Yoochun being friends with that kid. In fact they didn't even like each other but it was an easy and helpful lie. They could never been busted.
Jaejoong stared at his father without being able to express how disgusted he felt. He hated when his father was talking about rebels like they were animals or toys. He simply wanted to punch him on the mouth and make him bleed but he was still calm. He should be careful for Yunho. He should keep pretending because he wanted Yunho to be safe-r.
“So is there something I need to know?”
“Oh yes yes! Well I wanted Yoochun to be here too but we're in hurry so I'll tell you only” there was a pause and then Jaejoong was 'stabbed on his back'. “Pack your stuff because you're leaving”
“What?” his eyes went wide in shock “What are you talking about?”
“We have a serious problem in the vice-capital city and they need a leader there for a bit. I can't travel right now because of that low life thing that escaped.” the head explained and grimaced when he mentioned Yunho. Jaejoong's turned his hands into a fist and grinned his teeth.
“Father I am not ready to lead a city” he simply refused but his father insisted.
“Of course you are! You have proved that already” his father argued back.
“But what if I d-”
Mr. Park cut Jaejoong by putting his hand on the boy's shoulder “Son, don't underestimate yourself” Jaejoong bit his lip and looked away. “You are the same as me son! You are a true ethnarch!!”
Jaejoong's eyes widened in shock and his heart broke into many little pieces.

Yoochun was restless. His mind was racing and different thoughts were making his life miserable. I'd been three hours. Three whole hours since Junsu and his men left the house but still no sign. The hide out was quiet and just some whispers from those who left could be heard. Yoochun stared at the worrying girls and sighed. He wasn't the only one who was scared about someone's life at the end.
“Hyung...” Yoochun raised his head and met Taemin's teary eyes. He was the youngest among the men there and they weren't allowing him to go out yet. “... do you think Minho hyung is ok?”
The older boy didn't know. He really didn't know if Minho could make it after so many hours but the moment Taemin asked him, he knew what to answer.
“I'm sure his fine, Taemin ah!” he ruffled his hair and the boy nodded in relief.
“Yes you're right! Hyung is really strong and stubborn. I'm also sure that he won't give up easily”
Yoochun smiled for a moment. He wished that someone would reassured him too that Junsu was going to be fine too. He needed to hear this.
Some noise from outside the house made both Yoochun and Taemin run out. One of the two teams was back. Yoochun saw Taemin running like crazy to Minho. The boy was barely walking and blood was running down his leg. Yoochun got pale. It was the first time in his entire life seeing so much blood. He felt like fainting but he had to remain conscious. For Junsu, because he promised him to be awake and wait for him.
He tried to ignore Minho's painful moans and searched for Junsu with his eyes. Panic took him over when he saw that he wasn't around. Yunho wasn't around too.
“Let's take him to bed” Changmin suggested and Yoochun woke up. He glanced at Minho and run to him to, trying to help.
“Yoochun hyung, you don't have to do this” Changmin said in concern but Yoochun shook his head.
“I want to help. What's there to do?”
“Just... calm down Taemin. He broke down again.” he said and lifted the almost fainted boy in his arms. “I will take him inside”
Yoochun felt like they were slapping his face hardly. He wasn't able to think straight. Changmin didn't even mentioned about Yunho and Junsu. What had happened?
Unconsciously he wrapped his arms around Taemin with his own tears running from his eyes. He was so useless. He didn't even do something to help Junsu. He was just a stupid elite, with no willpower and no experience in real life. He was just his father's puppet and that was killing him.
“Hyung” Taemin's sweet voice caught his attention “Let's get inside... I think you need more comfort than I do”
Yoochun just smiled and followed the kid inside. Changmin had already took care of Minho's injury and he was now sleeping with the other man brushing his hair lovingly.
“How is he?” Yoochun dared and asked. Changmin glanced at him and smiled.
“He is a strong man. He will make it” Taemin sobbed at Changmin's words and the latter just chuckled. “Come on Taeminnie. He is not dead, stop crying. How are you going to make him notice you if you're so weak?”
Yoochun landed his eyes on Taemin who was trying to stop crying and hide his blush at the same time “I-I was scared to death.”
“But now he is safe”
“Because he has you on his side. He-he will never need me”
Yoochun locked his eyes with Changmin and they both knew what Taemin wanted to say. “Don't give up your love for him Min ah”
“I-I won't! I will try my best and I will be like Yoochun hyung. He is so caring and loyal. I wish I was like him”
Yoochun's eyes widened in shock. At least someone thought that he was useful. His mind was more peaceful now. But still, there was that question he so wanted to ask Changmin.
“Min... wh-where is Junsu?”
“He and Yunho hyung stayed behind for the sake of Minho. They should be here any time soon”
“Is he... going to make it?” Loosing Junsu like that. Without having the chance to try for their relationship. Without trying to get their freedom, was something that Yoochun was afraid of.
Loosing Junsu while he was useless and unable to help him was his worst fear.
“I don't know” Changmin didn't reassure him. He didn't do it. He just left him hopeless and worried.
