Title: Tell Me Goodbye
Pairing: Junhyung/Hyunseung
Rating: pg
Genre: Angst
The rain angrily slammed onto the pavement. I was standing in the midst of this onslaught, but yet I didn't care. I wouldn't have cared if he came to kill me. He had already slaughtered my whole family, mother, father, little sister. He had already stolen so much.

"Kill Hyunseung."
"Yes, Master Yoon." Mir and Joon, my most trusted assasins left my study, clad in all black. I watched their slowly fading figures hurry out of the room, their black suits blending with each other. And I smirked to myself.
That bastard, he owed me too much. Killing Hyunseung was far from paying all the pain the Jang family has caused me. I don't care if he's my cousin, his father had sent assasins the kill my parents when I was an infant, just to ensure he got my grandfather's entire fortune. Luck had it that I somehow survived. I was stuck in the family car, when my father's secretary found me. He was looking for my father, when he saw my parent's lifeless bodies, together with our chauffeur's in the car.
He adopted me. Now that he's gone, I've inherited a considerable sum, considering he was the secretary of one of Korea's most powerful me.
I will not sit there to see my parent's die in vain. I will end the entire Jang family, and I've been successful so far. Only one person left. The one who'll inherit what his parents stole from my family. I can't let that happen.

"Don't do this, sir."
I looked up to see my trusted assistant Junhyung. He's been working for me for more than half a decade, and has seen what consequences harming my family could bring about.
"Ah, Junhyung-ssi, and why should I listen to listen to you?" I smiled evilly.
"He has done nothing wrong. Let him go. What his parents did has nothing to do with him. Just leave him alone."
I walked over and grabbed him by his shirt collar. This bastard, who does he think he is?
"Listen, Yong Junhyung. I did not employ you to tell me what I should do. Another word from that mouth of yours and you can imagine what'll happen to you, right?" I laughed. "Now get back to work." I barked.
"Yes, sir..." He bowed and exited the room quietly. This is why I liked Junhyung. So easily tamed, controlled...
I lit my cigar, and looked at my portrait hung on my wall.
Father, Mother, your deaths shall be avenged.

I ran.
I ran as fast my legs could carry me. If it were possible, if there was a way I could stop it, I was going to do whatever it took to save him.
Sometimes I don't know why I could work for a man who was plotting day and night, the death of my lover. What his family have done, I am not entirely sure, but Mr. Yoon did want revenge. I've been successful in diverting his attention from my lover's life. But this had its consequences. Doojoon had killed Hyunseung's entire family.
Tears started streaming down my face. I couldn't believe it. How could I be so selfish, letting innocent lives be taken away like that, just to save my own, and my lover's skins? I continued running faster. If Doojoon ever found out my identity, I would die, and so would Hyunseung...
"Hyunseung!" I pounded my fists on his door.
Was I too late? Had he already....
"Junhyung? What are you doing here?" He glanced behind my shoulder, making sure I wasn't being trailed. Ever since his family died in succession, he's been careful, protective and suspicious. But who could blame him?
"Shouldn't you be at work?" He enquired suspiciously.
"Hyunseung... You have to leave this place!" I mentally kicked myself. I couldn't let him know the nature of my job... I couldn't. I didn't want to ever lose him...
"Why?"
"N-n-othing.... I'm sorry, I'll go..." I quickly dashed out of his home. I prayed inside that he had taken the hint, somehow...
And I saw them. Mir and Joon, grinning evilly at me. I froze where I was.
"Junhyung... what are you doing outside his house?" Joon smiled widely, like a lion, eyes locked on his prey.
"I was... I was..."
"You do know that we have been ordered to kill anyone who is on his side, right?" Mir asked.
I was sweating heavily. I clenched my fists. God, please protect Hyunseung... Hyunseung, I'm sorry I wasn't able to protect you, and I hope you'll be safe from him....
And then they fired.

I was alarmed at the sudden sound of guns being fired. I quickly opened my door, ready to shout something along the lines of yah! I'll call the police, when I saw his bloodied body on the floor...
"JUNHYUNG!!!!!" I screamed, and rushed towards his body. It was miracle that he was still breathing, but I knew death was not far off.
"Junhyung, you can't leave me, I'll bring you to a hospital, they'll treat you... don't leave me!" Tears poured out my eyes uncontrollably.
"Hyunseung... I'm sorry I couldn't protect you from him. I knew what Doojoon was plotting all along.. I was his assistant... You're not mad at me for hiding this from you, are you?" He smiled weakly.
I was shocked. This would explain his random outburst five minutes ago.
"No, I'm not mad...but you have to stay strong..." I frantically pulled out my phone from my pocket.
"No. It's not going to work. I'm leaving now. He's coming for you, Hyunseung. Run. I love you..... Goodbye..."
"No! Don't tell me goodbye!"
"I love you."
Those were his last words.
~
"Junhyung! You can't do this! Junhyung, Junhyung...." I just kept crying. The tears wouldn't stop. He had done it again. Taken yet another one I loved. This time, the only man I have ever loved in my life. Why?
I spotted a glistening gun on the floor.
He had stolen everything, from my family to my reason for living; my one and only love. It was like sucking life out of me, leaving an empty shell, with no live, no heart, no joy. Nothing at all. I had no reason for living anymore, for all the joy in my life has been cruelly snatched away from me, just like that.
I put the gun against my head.
Junhyung, Father, Mother, Little Sis, I'm going to meet you now.
And I fired the gun.
