Chapter ten : Remember me

"where....am....I-" Johnny spoke up with the little strength he had left. Nothing was clearly visible in his eyes. As far he could see, there were smokes and fire everywhere. His breath hitched with the countless burn he could feel in his body. "help...me."

There were no help at sight. when things started to become a little clear, he noticed few corpse around him. He closed his eyes and kept wishing for a help to come.

Just then, he heard light steps coming ahead. Hoping it was a help coming, he looked up. There was a person before him who covered every part of his appearence except for his eyes.

He had flames in those sharp eyes. It was filled with hatred and revenge. The person had no intention of taking off his hood or mask. He only stared until Johnny started to faint.

He went closer to the other's ear and whispered,

"I'll show you, the 'end' of you." he slided a card in johnny's hold.

"remember me Johnny, Im the Teazed." after a long observation of how slowly Johnny lost his sensebility, he walked away.

---*-----*-------*---------*------------*--------------*-----------------------

Two months has passed since the incident. Soon the city was ablazed with the Autumn's colors. leaves fell from the trees without a count. Like the fall, those days were quick enought to become matter of the past.

Taeyong was staring outside his car's window as it drove roads. He only sat still silently and sighs once in a while. In front, Jaehyun sat beside the driverseat and read out Ty's schedule. He noticed taeyong's absent mind and stopped his reading.

"Should we postpone the meeting?" It snapped Taeyong in to reality.

"...keep going. not like we have much choice. who else would do these if not me..." Jaehyun got his sign and sat silently until they reached the company. Unfortunately, there was a big crowd of media outside.

When Taeyong walked out of the car, they all surrounded him with cameras and countless questions. Few bodyguards including Jaehyun, stood ahead and protected him. But their words werent something he could avoid.

"Did Johnny suh died in the explosion?"

"Will you take over the Viostorm company soon?"

"Arent you the only one who gains benefit when Johnny steps down?"

"why wont the company announce his death?"

It went on and on until they reached the building. Others gave their all to shut down the medias but they didnt know how to stop.

.

At last, they walked into a safe place. Both entered a mysterious room around the hall. "have you taken your medicine?" Ty nodded in reply, "I would like to be alone for a while." Jaehyun left in his order.

The room slowly became more clearer and wider. machines came in to view. he could hear the sound of heartbeat from the machines. There lied, Johnny with him entangled all around with medical stuffs.

Taeyong took a seat beside his bed. He was all weak and trembling. the more he stared at him, the more teary his eyes became.

"Hey Johnny. Its been two months.

I wish I could tell this to you directly but it may not be possible." TY reached out and holds his hand,

"Its hard for me. . .

If only I moved you away from the stage that day..." the past scene of explosion flashed into his mind.

"Im responsible for your state...please come back and let me apologize to you face to face..." . there was no response from the other.

time went on and on but Taeyong only sat still, staring nowhere. after realising that things are no different from the other days he came to visit, he decided to call it a day and leave.

Just then, he felt a movement from johnny's hand. He looked up and saw him awake.

"You're awake!" ty shouted in gladness. he quickly called the doctors and in a minute the whole room was filled.

.

The doctor throughoutly checked Johnny's condition and showed a pleased expression. "Back then, you were lucky to not get hit by a direct explosion.

later, it became a major complication when you inhaled too much poisonous smoke." Johnny nodded in understanding. soon, they left.

"I would like to get discharged as soon as possible." Everyone in the room were shocked to hear his words. They all tried to protest at once, "You just woke up-"

"I have a lot to do instead of wasting anymore time in here.

I must find out who's behind the explosion." he replied in a serious tone. they all became speechless.

Johnny reconized the present workers as the trul members, Taeyong ,Jaehyun and Yuta. he had an instant question in mind, "Where's Doyoung?"

A dead silence fell in the room. they all avoided eye contact and hoped for Taeyong to speak up. Johnny reads their expression and hesitated, unsure of what to say.

"Actually-"

"I see....are you done with his funeral?"

"Its not what you think. He isnt dead but....missing." Johnny and few of the trul members were puzzled with the statement. they were also not imformed enough.

"Since the incident, we made sure none of the dead body were his. even if he ran away, he hasnt came back yet. " Johnny nodded in understanding. He immediately ordered the uninvolved workers to leave. Only Taeyong, Lucas and Yuta were left.

"Have you checked the cctv footages?" Lucas took the lead, "They were all destroyed. We didnt make any progress in investigation either. therefore, we decided to wait until you wake up and lead us."

"yuta?"

"yes." he stepped forward.

"I want you to take care of this case. It will lead to questioning every single person who was present that day. I want to know all of their location at the time of the explosion, can you do it?" The other only nodded in order.

"As for our missing employee, Doyoung.

he knew about the future incident and managed to get away from that place. Uptil now, he hasnt shown himself.

what could be the reason...?

Is he hiding something?"
