Warning violence scene towards end of chapter!

~Y/N POV~

I fluttered my eyes my eyes open, feeling quite refreshed, the sun was just starting to rise. I stretched my arms and legs out still lying on my bed and stumbled towards my window to open my curtains. I walk backwards until the back of my legs are met with the side of my bed. I place my butt on the bed and stare out the window. I have to say I had the best sleep last night, no nightmare, no night sweats, nothing. My dream was nice. I was either playing piano with some boy next to me or I was painting what looked like a arts and craft area or running through the forest again but without the fighting like in my nightmares. It was great not to have a nightmare this time. Maybe it was just the stress of the 10 year anniversary. I had a good night sleep last night, better than I've slept in years.

Today I felt it was going to be a good day. I continued watch the sun rise with the same feeling I always get when watching it, warmth and content. I can't stop smiling this morning about how I had a comfortable sleep last night.

Once the sun had gone completely up into the sky, accompanied with clouds today. I decided to get up off my bed and walk out my bedroom to use the bathroom. After I've done my business in the bathroom, I walk into the kitchen to make myself some breakfast.

I'm not surprised that Mr Lee isn't in the kitchen this morning, he's probably in his office working again. I grabbed a bowl out the top cupboard, along with a box of my favourite cereal and then made my way to the fridge to grab the milk. I prepared the cereal and then put everything else away. I then took back my bowl of prepared cereal and took a seat at one of the stool on the kitchen island and started to eat my breakfast, I was starving.

I was just about finished my cereal when Mr Lee came into the kitchen dragging his feet along the floor. He was still wearing his clothes from yesterday and his hair was all messy. He looked like death warmed up, he must of not got a lot of sleep last night. He yawned and rubbed his eyes making his way to the coffee machine and turning in it. I just sat there in silence watching his every move. He poured his coffee into his own coffee cup that he always uses. It's a coffee cup I gave him for his birthday 8 years ago. I painted his name on the side of it with the words, I love you on it and painted blue flowers. His favourite colour.

I continued to watch Mr Lee with his back turned to me. I don't think he's noticed me sitting in the kitchen yet. Mr Lee doesn't usually wake up properly until he gets his morning coffee, he likes strong coffee black coffee. Yuck! I hate coffee all together, I'm more of a tea person, any tea, I'll drink it just not coffee.

Me Lee brought the coffee to his lips and took a sip of it, making slurping sounds, followed by a over exaggerated "ahh." He slowly turned around and that's when our eyes met. I smiled at him and gave him a small wave. He chuckled and shook his head "there we go with the ninja skills again. I didn't see you there. Good morning" he smiled back at me and brought the cup back up to his lips to take another sip. I laughed at his comment but the laughter was caught short when I looked at his eyes and noticed the bags under them. "Did you not get much sleep last night?" I titled my head with a slight frown forming in my face. Mr Lee put his cup down on the kitchen island and sighed, looking down at his cup before looking back at me "I'll live." He gave me a forced smile, I'm not convinced, there's definitely something on his mind. I squinted my eyes back at him "I'm not too sure about that. You look like a zombie, is there something on your mind?" I watch his face carefully to take in any split second facial expression comes across his face. I like to read people faces, especially around the eyes and lips, they tell a lot about someone's emotions. Mr Lees eyes widen for literally a second before going back to his original size, now avoiding my gaze. His eyes soften, getting watery, he's now staring at my hands that are resting on the kitchen island in front of me. I think I might of pushed a button I didn't want to push. I looked around the room trying to think of something to say to lift the mood. An idea popped in my head. I looked back at Mr Lees face and smirked, with my eyebrow raised "could it be lady problems. Is there a special someone I don't know about?." Mr Lee brightened up immediately which was a relief he was now laughing at my comment and shaking his head aggressively "no y/n your the only lady in my life and the only one I'll ever need." He chuckled. I just scoffed at his response "you should have another lady in your life. You don't want to die alone do you?" Mr Lee looked at me surprised, he turned away to look at the floor before mumbling quietly "I won't die alone, I have you." I jumped off the stool with my bowl to walk to the sink walking past Mr Lee. As I was washing the bowl Mr Lee took steps to stand right next to me "hey y/n I want to take another day off work, so do you want to do anything together today? You can choose anything you want to do and I'll do it." My eyes widen with excitement did he really mean it ? I spun to look him dead in the face "do you mean it? I can choose anything and you'll do it?." I started jogging lightly on the spot with excitement rushing through me. I felt like a child at Christmas. Mr Lee giggled at my reaction "yes y/n we'll do whatever you want to do" he was looking down at me now. I squealed in excitement and jumped up and down. I'm really a child at heart. I swung my arms around his neck giving him a instant hug "thank you, thank you." Mr Lee patted my back before I took a step back to look up at him. I thought for a minute of what I wanted to do and then an idea popped up in my mind "can we go to the amusement park that's come to the city? I saw the poster for it outside a shop yesterday when you stopped in traffic, I'd really like to go there but if we can't then I understand" I looked down, unsure of his response. I picked a piece of my hair, playing with it between my fingers nervously. It's a habit I do when I get nervous, it's either that or play with my fingers. I sheepishly look up to his face, he looks deep in thought, battling within himself, pouting his lips off to the side of his face and eyes focused on the sink. He took a deep sigh before turning his attention back to me. I perked up waiting eagerly for his answer. He nodded at me "okay, we can go" his deep voice echoed my ears and I screamed out with happiness, jumping up to give him another hug. Mr Lee laughed, throwing his head back placing his arms around me "I'm going to go shower and change my clothes. You should probably do the same." I jumped back off him and gave him a playful response, I placed one hand on my hip and raised a eyebrow "are you trying to say I stink, because if you are I'll totally kick your ass" I jumped into the fight position raising my guts up at him. He laughed once more "no that's not what I meant and you know it. I'll meet you in the living room in a hour then we'll head out" he booped my nose like a small child before walking off to his bedroom shaking his head at me. I then took this opportunity to run like a maniac to my bedroom to get ready for going out. This will be my second time going outside the penthouse and my first time going to amusement park since my father died. I was beyond excited, I could stay still. I swear if someone that didn't know me saw me act this way they probably thought I had a mental disorder, but I couldn't help it.

I did take a shower like Mr Lee suggested and I got changed into some casual clothes, that I did too find comfy. I applied a little light make up as I don't plan on crying today like I was yesterday. Then I speed walked to the living room, down the stairs.

Mr Lee was sitting on the corner part of the sofa with his feet resting on the coffee table in the middle. He was glued to whatever he was doing on his phone, he hasn't noticed that I'm in the room. It must be my natural ability of being a ninja. I coughed to gain his attention. He lifted his head to look at me, dragging his eyes away from his phone and pulling his feet off the table "you ready to go now?." I nodded eagerly but my eyes glimpsed towards the window, I noticed there was something that look a little bit like rope hanging on the frame of the window outside. I frowned and pointed towards the window "erm.. Mr Lee what's that hanging off the window outside?" His eyes widened and quickly turned to where I was pointing. He placed his arm around my shoulder to turn me around and lead me out the front door "it's probably nothing. I'll have a word with maintenance of the building later. Now let's go." I shook off what I saw and decided to focus on the plans a head. The amusement park.

It was now getting very late into the evening, we were here all day and it was so much fun. It took Mr Lee some convincing to go on the Ferris wheel as he scared of heights but he eventually caved into my wishes. Though he was almost sticking to my side like glue, he kind of like that too when we're flying but he's not too bad when we're on planes. We were leaving the amusement park, laughing "I didn't think you were that bad with heights Mr Lee. Your not that bad when we're on a plane" I couldn't stop laughing about the face he would pull when he would look down, was priceless. I thankfully took a picture on my phone to remember his face and possibly bribe him later with it. Mr Lee didn't seem to mind that I was making fun of him. He was too busy finishing his last piece of candy floss.

Today has been fantastic, I took quite a bit of pictures on my phone too. We don't get to do much things like this. Though sometimes I would notice Mr Lee staring at me with sad eyes or he would be staring at something in a crowd not far away from us. But other than that we had such a good time, we pretty much made fun of each other about how we reacted on different rides. Like me on the rollercoaster, I kept screaming and laughing with butterflies in my stomach and at one point I snorted like a pig. That had Mr Lee laughing at me for 10 minutes straight. People kept staring at like we were mad. His laughing actually got to a point were I actually smacked his arm and told him to knock it off as people were staring and he was the elder between the two of us. He did calm down after that though which is why I wanted him to go on the Ferris wheel as a punishment.

As we continued to walk out the amusement, down the now busy street filled with cars of people probably going home after a long day of work, I wrapped my arm around Mr Lees and leaned into him. Mr Lee took one last bit he had left of his cotton candy "thank you for today Mr Lee, it was really fun"  he ruffled my hair and lead me down the street.

Mr Lee decided to turn our bodies to the left to walk down an alleyway that was actually a quicker way to head home. The alleyway looks friendlier when it's lighter in the day but now that it's getting darker with the sky a dark blue right now did not help. So I decided to sing to cheer up the environment. I was always told that I can sing, my father told me I have my mother voice. She use to sing a song to my father and her taught me the song as he would attempt to sing me the song at night to get me to go to sleep. I continued to sing with my voice echoing off the walls around us and Mr Lee listening to my singing and smiling down at me.

My singing was cut off my someone clapping behind us and the noise of multiple footsteps followed. Myself and Mr Lee haunted our steps and froze, though Mr Lee squeezed my arm with his. I pulled myself closer to Mr Lee before both of us turning around together to face the mystery person. I couldn't see any faces as they were hiding in the dark places of the alleyway. There were lights in this alleyway, just not very good ones and these people had decided hide in the shadows. Cowards. A loud voice filled the alleyway "Mr Lee Kai!! Hand us the girl and nobody gets hurt!!"  I scoffed at his words of course someone will get hurt, that's what the bad guys always say in the movies. A much larger man took a step forward, from what I can make out he was bald with tattoos on the side of his head and he was wearing a dark coloured grey suit and black dress shoes. He swung his hands to the front of his body and held them together with his legs spread out underneath him, staring straight at Mr Lee. I'm guessing he's the one that just spoke. Mr Lee in return let go of my arm and stood in front of me in a protective way "NO!"  He belted out at the bald man. The bald man "tsk" at Mr Lee and shook his head "I suggest you leave Kai, as Mr Choi is not very happy with you disappearing with the girl for years. So to save you some trouble I suggest you just walk away" the bald man was smirking in a disgusting way, never taking his eyes off Mr Lee.

Hold on a second Mr Choi, wasn't that my uncle that died with my dad? I thought he was dead, it has to be a different Mr Choi, but what would a different Mr Choi want with me?

I was cut off from my thoughts when I heard Mr Lee shout once more "I said no! So I'm staying!! You'll not get her!! Over my dead body!!" I gasped staring at the back of Mr Lees choice of words.

I loud bang went off, followed by a second and two of the alleyway lights turned off. The alleyway was now close to pitch black, only the shapes of someone's figure can be seen. I cover my mouth with hands to stop any threatening noises come out my mouth. I feel so scared right now. I can feel the tears reach the edge of my eyes. I heard a loud roar followed by another loud bang and Mr Lee immediately turned around and harshly grabbed my arm pulling me to the wall beside a huge dumpster and told me to sit down and stay quiet. I nodded at him not knowing if he could see me. He crouched down beside me, as now I can hear animal noises as well as men screaming and guns going off. Mr Lee grabbed the back of my head and pulled me closer and placing a kiss on my forehead "I love you y/n, never forget that. I'm very proud of you as if you were my own. I love you my cub" he stayed with his forehead pressed against mine. My tears were now falling, it felt like he was saying goodbye. He stood back up, I tried to grab his hand but I couldn't see it, so I failed, I whispered to him "please, don't leave me." I saw his figure look down at me and he whispered back to me before running to the commotion "I'll never leave you."

I just stayed in my spot, curled my knees up to my chest praying this will all end. Mr Lee should of just have me over and he would be safe and none of this would be happening. Along with gun shots and men screaming I can hear hissing and growling. Just how many animals are there? Where did they come from? My thoughts were cut off by a grown man scream at the top his lungs. It's Mr Lee.

I immediately ran out my hidden spot and over to were I heard him scream. Men tried to grab me on my way to Mr Lee but as soon as anyone got close to me and animal jumped on them and tore them apart. I'm guessing from the blood girdling scream. I approached Mr Lee as he was lying on the floor holding onto his left side of his chest. His nicely combed hair was now messed up spreading up in all directions, he had bruises already showing up on his face, along with a little smear of blood down the side of his lips. I looked him up and down, no sure of what to do. He was in so much pain, his fave said it all as well as the rest of his body, he was shaking uncontrollably. I removed his hands from his wound and pressed my own hands down on it. He tried to move my hands off him but he was too weak so he just help onto my wrists, staring at my face. I'm guessing he just noticed that I'm here with him by looking at his eyes wide open. He too was crying as hard as me, shaking his head looking up at me. The noises in the back ground were dying off, soon becoming quiet. Mr Lee moved his eyes to something behind me before nodding at whatever it was, but at this moment I don't care. I don't care what's behind me, just now it's me and him.

He leaned his head back on the concrete below him and coughed but as he did, he spat out some blood. I pressed even harder into wound, more panic sent through me. If he dies I'll be alone in this work. I need him. I love him. He's like my father, the only family and friend I have left. "Don't leave me, please!" I begged. He pulled his hand to caress my left cheek, I leaned into his touch, holding onto the back of his hand with mine. He spat up more blood, staring into my eyes. I was pleading with my eyes for him to stay with me.

His eyelids dropped and his arm slowly went limp on me as I still had a hold of his hand pressed against my cheek. I then realised in that moment, he had left me, he's gone. I'm officially alone in the world. I paused for a moment with his hand still in mine, before dropping his hand to the ground and looking up to the sky, screaming at the top on my lungs. I'm going hysterical, I'm slowly losing my mind, he was so important to me, he meant everything to me. My last family. Gone.

I threw myself over his body, grabbing into it for dear life, not caring if I get covered in blood. I didn't want to leave him. I cried and cried, my heart was beating out my chest, I could hardly breathe. Stayed like that for a few moments before I felt someone wrap their arms around me to pull me away from the now dead Mr Lee. I started to struggle against the arms, not wanting to leave Mr Lee, at this moment I didn't care if it was one of the mystery men or someone trying to help me. I just didn't care. Whoever it was refused to let go of my body as their arms were still wrapped around me. They pulled me with more strength, forcing me to unwillingly let go of Mr Lee. I continued to scream at the unknown person pulling me away, struggling in their arms, kicking and screaming, like a child would in a tantrum. But this person was strong, if anything I decided to give up fighting against them but continued to cry hysterically. The person that I was fighting against let me go. Someone else came closer to me and picked me up bridal style and started walking further down the alleyway. They were warm and smelt of vanilla frosting and chocolate and they were definitely not wearing a shirt, but who ever it was it made me feel safe, as I slowly calmed down from crying I buried my face in their chest. Slowly closing my eyes and drifting off to sleep, in hopes all of this way a very very bad dream.
