Chapter Text
soy el fuego que arde piel
his footsteps seemed to move quicker with every step. it was almost impossible not to trip because of the rain, yet he kept running.
soy el agua que mata tu sed
there was no way he would make it out alive. he didn’t think twice about the consequences before stealing thousands of dollars worth of drugs from the wealthiest drug dealers in the county. still the rush excited him more than anything. he felt a smile spread across his face as large amounts of footsteps followed behind him.
el castillo, la torre, yo soy
their men were approaching. he could feel it.
before he knew it, he was cornered. the rain seemed to fall even harder than before. he was soaked, tired and prepared to die.
“we meet again, don’t we yoon jeonghan?”
the boy looked up and smiled through his drenched hair.
“lee jihoon, mr. chwe,” he chuckled.
he fell forward as hard kick was delivered to his abdomen.
“what do we do with him?” he heard a voice
“i don’t know baby… this is the third time he’s tried to steal drugs from us, isn’t it jeonghan?” jihoon bent down and lifted up jeonghan’s chin with his finger. it was bruised, bloodied and wet from the rain.
jeonghan cracked a smile, and his laugh echoed throughout the streets.
jihoon swung at jeonghan’s face as vernon tried to hold him back.
“why are you laughing? do you think our business is a fucking joke?” jihoon spat at jeonghan.
vernon moved in closer to jihoon and whispered, “let’s just let it go and get the drugs back, we don’t have time to deal with a group of lowlife thieves. we’re so powerful, they aren’t a problem.”
jihoon sighed into vernon and looked at jeonghan once more.
la espada que guarda el caudal
“listen yoon,” jihoon started.
his men moved in closer, raising their guns.
jihoon motioned them to lower them, and they did.
“we own this city, don’t fuck with us. you will regret it. you and your little group of friends have nothing on us, nothing ”
jeonghan laughed again.
“you seem to be very arrogant, don’t you?”
he sat up and moved in closer to jihoon.
“i think you’re forgetting that i have something you two don’t.”
he moved to look at jihoon’s men behind him.
“loyal subjects.” he grinned.
jihoon lowered his brow and stood up.
“your little boy toys don’t count.”
and turned his back to walk forward.
“just wait until they become money hungry.”
vernon followed jihoon and a car pulled up behind them.
rain continued to pour, followed by thunder and flashes of lightning throughout the sky.
tú el aire que respiro yo…
jihoon’s men moved in closer on jeonghan.
“don’t kill him. if you do, all of you are dead too.” he heard jihoon say. the sound of a car engine starting signaled that they had left.
jeonghan looked up and awaited his fate. he wished he would die, he was already beat up enough. he just was disappointed he couldn’t tell joshua goodbye. because this was it.
his head lifted when he heard gunshots behind him. the men in front of him had fallen to the ground in front of him.
“jeonghan?” he heard a voice say from behind.
joshua, he thought. and he thought right.
joshua ran to jeonghan and held him in his arms.
“stop stealing from them, please” he was sobbing.
y la luz de la luna en el mar
he breathed into joshua’s shoulder and began to cry too.
la garganta que ansio mojar
que temo ahogar de amor
¿y cuáles deseos me vas a dar?
dices tú, 'mi tesoro basta con mirarlo'
y tuyo será
y tuyo será …
