TWENTY SEVEN
errors ahead!
JACKSON
As soon as I've gotten that call from that anonymous person, I told Y/n about it. Of course, she was worried, she had gotten close to Felix and Felix did help us with the incident with Hana and Yuri.
So you could say I owe Felix a huge favor. Maybe this has been the "thing" Felix was talking about when he told the enemy he might need my help someday.
Talk about jinxing his own life.
This isn't the only reason I'm helping him. Even if he haven't earned a huge favor for me I would still help him because he is a mafia under my wing and most importantly, Kai, leader of the secret organization Elite, had broken the pact our predecessors had signed.
I'm pretty sure Kai was aware that Felix is a mafia from Korea, that means he is under my protection but he still went ahead of it and put him in prison.
What he did made it clear that he is taking lightly of the power the Higher Ups have. Although I've known Kai ever since I've been titled as the head of the Wang, I won't tolerate his actions.
That's why, currently, I am heading to Italy to save Felix's ass.

LUNA
After the call, I wondered if that would suffice in solving this matter I had created. I'm sure Kai would conclude that it was me who ratted him out to Jackson Wang. This would cause a huge uproar between the Mafias in Korea but this is just the consequences of Kai's actions... and also my actions.
Worst-case scenario, this could destroy Elite.
But none of that matters to me, if Elite goes down then so be it. I'm willing to go this far just to give Felix back his freedom.
Even if it means I'll go down along with Elite.

Kai was currently in his office, planning down his next course of action about the remaining corrupted individuals the organization has to take down. Not worrying about how he had just put a mafia, protected by the Higher Ups in Korea, behind bars.
It's true, he was underestimating Felix and the Higher Ups. Italy was already filled with Elite's power since they have been here for seven years, rooting out all evil in this country.
So, Felix was powerless in this country. He can't say the same for the Higher Ups because he didn't know if their power also reaches here in Italy. But he's about to find the answer to his own wonders.
"Sir!" An agent rushed inside his office, out of breath, like he just ran a full marathon before reaching his office. Kai raised his eyebrows at him.
He was busy and he didn't like being disturbed when doing something important. The agent gulped and inhaled before speaking, "The higher ups... Jackson Wang is here!"
"What!?" Kai couldn't help but to scream. The only thing that would make someone like Jackson Wang come here is for business purposes, but from what he remembered they haven't been discussing business from quite some time now.
So, that only leaves with one answer.
He's here because of Felix.
As soon as he realizes that, the door flung wide open like any more force applied, it could break and could literally fly towards the corner of the room.
Jackson went inside and waved at him with a smug tugging on his lips, "Surprise" Jackson says, walking towards Kai while his men with guns followed him.
"Jackson..." Kai could only utter his name. Jackson stopped in front of Kai as he took off his dark shades that didn't allow Kai to see his eyes. Kai shivered when their eyes met.
Jackson has that effect on people, like when he looks into your eyes it's like he's locking your soul into place, unable to escape, trapped forever.
"I believe you aren't oblivious to the consequences of what you have done?" Jackson asked, breaking his staring contest with Kai as he roamed around Kai's office, checking everything out as if it was an art museum.
Kai sighed, he knew he had no escape from Jackson. "Listen here, Jackson. Your mafia messed with my agent first. He locked her up and maybe even abused her." Kai reasoned.
Jackson lifted a glass figurine of a lion in Kai's desk. The lion was the animal symbol of Elite. A typical symbol to use for an organization who kills for justice. He observed it, twisting it left and right, "Oh, really? I thought it was your wife and not an agent, hmm?"
Kai bit the inside of his lips. How did he know that? Does he know everything that occurred in yesterday's court trial? these were questions that were running through Kai's head.
"You know, Kai... I really... really... despise liars," He walked closer back to Kai, the glass figurine still in his hands, "and I can see through liars."
Jackson dropped the figurine. It hit the ground and it broke way too easily. "I thought lions have incredible strength and dominance, but you're just a dog that tucks its tail between its legs."
It grazed Kai's pride, no, it was more than a graze. It definitely had a long-lasting damage on Kai's pride and he didn't like that one bit.
"You do know you've broken the peace treaty between our organizations, right? You did Felix dirty, that means you did the whole mafias in Korea dirty." Jackson turned his back on Kai, was about to go out before spitting his final words;
"So, this is war."
With that, Jackson went out of his office, leaving Kai to process what he said. The anger started to built up within Kai and he hurriedly went to Luna's room and barged in without any knock.

LUNA
"What the actual fuck, Luna!?" Kai shouted when he entered my room. Oh, boy, his anger was over the maximum level. He was like a volcano that's about to burst with immense anger.
"What?"
"Stop playing dumb! I know you're the one who called Jackson here. What the fuck did you think you're doing!?" Kai shouted again, his veins popping out his temples and neck, showing how angry he was right now.
"I only did what I think was the right thing to do." I calmly replied.
"This could cause the downfall of Elite, Luna! And that means you're going down along with it! Do you want that to happen!?" Kai's fist punched the wall of my room as he was raging in anger.
"Look, if you're trying to guilt trip me then it's not working. Also, you were the one who made the decision of sending felix behind bars alone, you didn't ask for my thoughts on the matter. So, this is basically a problem you made with your poor decision making." I spat back.
"I- ugh-! Stop trying to manipulate the situation!"
"I am not."
"You'd do this to your family? Luna, have you forgotten that we're like family already? What has that man done to you for you to change so much like this?"
I hummed, thinking of a reply, "I guess, he made me feel loved. He made me feel things that I never thought I would ever experience in my entire life. I thought I would forever be someone who's alive but is plain dead inside, like a zombie. I didn't think twice killing others, but I have nightmares every time I kill. I thought what I felt when I kill someone was love, turns out it wasn't. I was just hiding the fact that I was drowning in guilt every time I took someone's life. It just keeps piling up and it just made my trauma grew... but..." I stopped rambling and looked up to Kai.
"You knew this, didn't you?" I asked. Kai didn't have any expression on his face. He didn't respond.
"You didn't consider me as a family, you used me as a killing machine. You're mentally unstable, Kai, but you're denial." I say.
....
I was ten when I met Kai, and he was seventeen.
It was true that I was kept, tortured, in the underground auction in North Korea. But... Kai and his men killed everyone in the auction, I was the only one alive.
I was almost in the brink of death, I was barely keeping myself to stand. Kai found me and sheltered me. But there was something in his memories that was distorted, he kept on rambling about how I killed all those men in the auction when in fact I wasn't the one who killed them, it was him.
Then, he forced me into killings. He would oftentimes bring me with him whenever he has a mission to kill someone. He would kill in front of me, a mere ten year old who couldn't even speak properly due to trauma from the abuse in the auction site.
I didn't realize it back then but Kai believed that I was capable of killing at the age of ten because of his distorted memory that I killed the men in the auction. He made me an agent, I was forced to see people being brutally murdered, and I was taught to do the same.
All this time, Kai was the perpetrator, the one who's tying a blindfold around my eyes to prevent me from seeing that everything was wrong right from the beginning.
...
"What are you talking about..." Kai seemed sincerely confused. I didn't want to believe it, although I was also confused myself and I am still trying to figure things out.
"11 years ago, when you found me in the auction site, I wasn't the one who massacred all the men in the auction site. It was you and your men. I never killed anyone before I met you." I explained.
"What? Why are you lying? You clearly killed those guys that is the whole reason why I decided to make you an agent. Why would I make someone an agent who has never killed anyone?" He was really confused.
"You're remembering things wrong."
"What do you..." He suddenly grew silent. As if the real memories started to flood his mind, he looked me in the eyes and suddenly laughed like a maniac.
He laughed so hard and loud, hands clenching his stomach, tears of joy escaping his eyes as I was sitting there, analyzing what the fuck is happening.
I had my eyebrows furrowed as I looked at him.
"Ah... how could I forget that. The smell of their blood on my skin was just perfect!" He smiled, eyes disappearing as his face flushed red with the thought of other people's blood touching his bare skin.
I gulped. I had never seen Kai like this, never. I can't believe it took me 11 years to see him like this. He was like... a monster who craves to kill, that hungers on human blood, and that kills without mercy.
Fuck, I was wrong about everything. I thought I knew Kai but it turns out I only knew a part of him but not his whole.
A/N:
Yes I am alive, for anyone who's wondering. I've been just SO SO busy lately like fr I don't even have the time to just scroll in social media because there's a lot in school that I have to do (THERE'S NO END TO THE ACTIVITIES. I FINISH AN ACTIVITY AND THEN I GET ANOTHER PILE OF ACTIVITIES AKSJKAJSKAKA FIGHT ME PROFESSORS!)
Anyways, confused? So basically Kai has schizophrenia, split personality, and maybe like a psychopath? Yeah that's it. Anyways I can't guarantee that I can describe what schizophrenia is really like but if you have someone you know who's experiencing it or if you, yourself, is experiencing then I'm very sorry for you to have to go through that. I wish and pray for everyone who's experiencing this a brighter future ahead — don't be scared to ask for help and don't hesitate to help!
