βkiyoung!β he yells out, feet moving quicker than the rest of his being as he scurries to the bedroom. there, he pulls out a suitcase from under the bed, packing both his own as kiyoungβs clothes. βwe need to leave. right now.β

Β Β the great divide isn't the easiest β nor the hardest when it comes to them. the most suffering they go through isnβt physical as it is with many other people. they have a considerable amount of wealth built up in their accounts (thanks to minsu and jax's less than legal contracts), so they have enough to burn and be left with a good sum even afterwards. however, the most difficult part by far is the fact that everything they built could crumble down any moment, the uncertainty of not having a government, minsu having lost his power he worked so hard for.
Β Β they are the lucky ones from the public eye, but even then it isn't always so easy to rest at night, for kiyoung worries a lot. for his lover, for his brother β he doesn't regret all that they do, but it is a serious concern that they have a lot to hide, a lot that should never be uncovered. however, all of these are at the back of his mind as months pass by, the cities collapsing due to lack of resources, lack of a government. they manage to get through life one way or another, but the uncertainty is the imminent reality they have to live in.
Β Β Β it is just another day at their flat, kiyoung has returned back home after speaking with a few more of his contacts on the street. the situation is getting more dire, they say, more criminals come up from any and every corner, ready to exploit anything that they can get their hands on. and it just leaves kiyoung more worried as he lies down on the couch in thought, waiting for minsu to get home. what he doesn't expect is to hear the lock opening so sloppily, fast footsteps following the sound.
Β Β it makes kiyoung jump up immediately, on his feet with one hand going to the nearest gun β he knows it's minsu, by the fast breathing and the sounds he makes, but kiyoung can't be sure he is alone. a quick look at the man running towards the bedroom gives him his answer, and he rushes there behind him. he disregards the gun for the moment, since the threat doesn't seem to be physical or close β at least not in the form of armed men following his lover. however, kiyoung is still worried out of his mind as he speaks, wanting answers. "minnie, what's wrong ? what happened ?"
Β Β Β the other is panicked, shaking, so much that it hurts kiyoung too much to see him like this. it fears him even, for he never saw minsu this out of his element, so fearful about whatever that has happened. so it's more of a reflex when he stands in front of him, takes his face in his hands to make their eyes meet. "minsu β baby, look at me. talk to me β we can figure it out. whatever it is, we can figure it out. you just need to calm down at first, okay ? just take a deep breath β please." he pleads, hands moving in calming motion on minsu's cheeks, hoping to ground him somehow.
