Chapter sixteen (1/1)

Key POV “Sir please just wait untill the other person leaves, alright? We can’t allow two visitors at the same time.”“But I need to see him! And who’s there with him?! ““We can’t tell you that kind of information sir. Please wait there paciently. We will warn you when that person leaves.”I ended up nodding, retreating to the place that the nurse had said I needed to go. I sat on one of the chairs and trewed my body completely into it, my energy completely gone by now. I was sure that something had happened already, and that the guy or woman that was with him may not be those guys or women that I would let get close to Taemin.But here I am, trapped untill that person leaves so I can approach Taemin. My phone started ringing and vibrating but I ignored it for the first two times. But then I remembered that it could be Onew with new information, so I quicly reached for my phone.“Yoboseyo?!”“Key! What the fuck happened! I thought you were dead or something! But it doesn’t matter. I’m on my way to the hospital… Have you seen Taemin!?”“N-No… there’s someone there with him and I can go in yet… Why are you leaving my office this early? Something happened?”“Yeah, something freacking happened. Choi freacking Minho happened! I had to leave, what could I do?!”“Wait… you know Minho? How?”“You don’t know I know him? Well…it’s a long story… but for now forget about it. I have information. And some crazy information by the way…”“Tell me everything!”“Okay, long story short. I did a good job entering their site and the first thing I went to look was Taemin’s parents real identity. Well, it’s true that they belonged to the mafia…”“Fucking lord…”“Don’t interrupt me! Well, they were part of the mafia, but so was the uncle. Taemin had an uncle noone knew about. But they were killed and the uncle was also killed. But something very strange happened. The site froze and turned white and I thought they had caught me, but then everything went back to normal and I saw that the site had been updated with new information. I thought it was some mafia guy that was so damn stupid that he didn’t even noticed my virus. But he gave me the dead uncle’s biography or something and that document explained why only them had joined the mafia. They didn’t do it because of the money that their family owned to the mafia Key. They did it because of those files!”“What are those files?”“I don’t know… I could explore any further because of your best friend.”“You did good Onew. Thank you so much for your help.”“Hey… forget about that thing I said about not wanting to get involved. This has got to dangerous for me to just drop it out. I’ll help more, if you want.”“YES! I mean… yes, please.” The voice from the other side chuclked and I smiled too, sighning in relief for the first time today.“I’ll be there in 10.”“Alright.”I closed my phone and dropped it on my pocket again. I was saved. I would never be able to do what Onew just did, not in a milion years. But now I felt more worried.  Someone inside the mafia knew what we were doing? And they even cooperated? I can’t stop feeling that it was all a trap and that we are falling into it every second that passes by.“Mr.Kim? You can go in now.”I jumped from my seat with a relieved smile on my face and immediately started running towards Taemin’s room. The hallway was full of people but they didn’t stop my fast rithme. I stumbled a little bit when my shoulder hitted someone’s else. I stoped walking and looked back to apologise but the guy just kept walking. I watched his back.Shaking my head a bit, I ran towards the room again and knocked on the door, opening it immediately, an even wider smile on my face. But it dropped. My smile immediately dropped.  Taemin POV “M-My uncle? I don’t have an uncle… Both my parents were only childs.”“Not quite right Taemin.”The man called Lee Joon got up from the chair next to my hospital bed and started walking around slowly, thinking. I watched him with curiousity and fear, those past events still saying that I couldn’t  trust anyone now. Not even someone that called himself my uncle.“Well, you see, I used to live far away from your appa, and we both grew up in different countries. But I’m still his baby brother. I was 3 and he was 7 when our parents separated us. I went to Canada with our uncle and aunt and he stayed here with our parents.”“W-why?”“Because it was dangerous for us to be together Taemin. The Lee family has a dark background, you know. We had issues with the mafia guys since….well since I remember. Me and your appa had to be draged away for our security. We weren’t safe anywhere, that’s true, but being together would be even more dangerous.”“But I don’t understand why…”“Because when our parents died, they would come for us and there was no way to run away from it. Unless we entered the mafia. And we did, naively. They said we could leave when we had payed the debt our families all together owned them. But it was all lies. We could run from them, and your parents tasted it with their own bodies.”“W-what about you?”“I was also killed.”“W-WHAT?! B-but you’re here!”“Exactly~”He sat again on the chair and pinched my cheek, making me yelp in a little pain. He laughed and crossed his legs, looking at me with entertained eyes.“I was killed. Or so they think. But I’m here. So I wasn’t killed. But I was, otherwise I wouldn’t be here. What to do, what to do~”He sang while chuckling from time to time from his own words. He was trying to explain it to me or confuse me? I got the fact that he was killed, but then he’s here and pretty alive. He’s just confusing me…“I died in the same day your parents died. But in reality, I didn’t. I excaped because I knew how. Your uncle has some tricks of his own. I faked my death, and they believed it, as I expected.  And then I ran away and changed my name. Simple as that.”“That’s…impressive…”“I know, right!? Those mafia guys don’t even know what hitted them! But the fun part is that I’m still a member, so I still have access to e-ve-ry-thing.”He sang again, completely amused by his past actions. I couldn’t help but to chuckle from his actions. Although we were talking about a pretty serious business, he still found a way to turn a sad story into a amusing one. I could see the connection between him and my appa.“And what’s your name now uncle?”“Oh, I can’t tell you that. You don’t need to know that, believe me. Just remember my real name, otherwise you and I can have problems.”“W-why?”“Because, Taemin, the mafia will look for you again and probably also ask you about me. If you really aren’t faking when you say to them that you only know Lee Joon, they don’t have anything else to do with you and you’ll be alright. But if you know my name now, they will know it.”“You’re in trouble again, aren’t you?”“I’m always in trouble my dear Taemin. But now they suspect that the body they killed wasn’t mine. But what can I do~”“I see…”He laughed and ruffled my hair untill it was a complete mess, getting up next. I jumped quicly and grabbed his arm, making him stop.“I have one more question…”“Okay, ask me then.”“Will we ever meet again?”He smiled sadly and shook his head, making my eyes start to water. I feared that this would be my answer, but I knew it would be it. He touched my belly, rubbing it lightly and chuckling a little after that. I smiled sadly, tears already dripping from my eyes.“You’ll have a new family now Taemin. Don’t forget about me but let me go. You’ll always have a crazy uncle, even if I’m dead or alive. We probably won’t see each other again, but you’ll remember this meeting, that’s good already. It’s already good we got to meet, don’t you think? Be happy Tae, I’ll be watching you from the earth or from heaven, we’ll see. Or probably hell, I’m a bad boy.”We both chuckled, but my tears continued coming with force, making my vision blur. But I cleaned them quicly, wanting to see my uncle’s face for the last time clearly. He looked like my appa in so many aspects. This meeting was like seeing my appa all over again. I couldn’t be more happy and sad at the same time.“Goodbye Taemin. It was a pleasure to meet you.”I nodded because I couldn’t talk anymore. My voice had drown with my tears. He waved from the door and left completely, making me drop my head in between my hands and cry even harder. My appa, my umma and now my uncle. Everyone was gone.But just like Lee Joon said. I’ll always have a crazy uncle just like I’ll always have a happy family, because that is the last thing I remember, so that is the reality that stays in my heart forever. I’ll build my family and I’ll do the same thing.My parents sacrificed their lifes for the next generation, and that’s me. After this storm, I won’t have anything else to worry about. I’ll be free and happy again, just like when I was a child. I’ll paint another white painting and I’ll show them to my babies.Everything will be okay. That's it for now!! I'll write more after i have some rest!
