If I'm Not The Only One

Chapter 3
___

After school Soohyun took Dongho out on a date, now they were in Soohyun's car at some park because Dongho said he wanted to talk.

"Is there something wrong?"

Dongho looked at Soohyun, then he looked away before mumbling, "I want to try again."

Soohyun didn't even have to ask about what Dongho was talking about. "A-are you sure?" After Dongho nodded, Soohyun replied, "Uhm, okay. But, if you can't handle it we'll stop."

"Okay."

The two decided to go in the back seat. The two paused before kissing each other and Soohyun removed their clothing. Soohyun lied Dongho's back on the seat, slowly tracing kisses on his chest.

However, a flashback of Kevin came into Dongho's head. "I want to help too." Dongho felt Kevin's hand hold onto his own like a ghost. He felt the pain Kevin felt when they were staring at each other. He could even feel as if Kevin was watching him at that moment.

Suddenly, Dongho lost it.

Dongho sat up frantically and began repeating, "I'm sorry, Soohyun, I can't do it" over again. He even covered his face and began to cry.

Soohyun only held him and whispered comforting words like, "It's okay, don't worry about it."

Yet, from afar, Kevin turned around and smirked

It was the next day at school in homeroom.

While Dongho was fake reading, because really he felt bad about the night before, he saw a paper on his desk and someone was by his neck. "I need help with some things," Kevin whispered and Dongho nodded. Kevin added, "This is my phone number."

When Kevin walked to the back, Dongho opened the paper and sure enough there were digits. Kiseop whispered, "What's that all about?"

Dongho answered, "School work."

The teacher came in, took roll, and after the bell rang she announced, "Don't forget to sit in assigned seats today in Chemistry. If you disobey I will mark to tardy and/or absent."

Skipping to Chemistry, Dongho walked into Chemistry and noticed Kevin wasn't there. He waited for a minute until the bell rang to look to his side and still Kevin wasn't there. After the teacher took roll, marked Kevin absent, Dongho finally wondered what Kevin could possibly be doing.

After school, Dongho decided to call Kevin, but the number instantly went to voicemail. He called again and this time it said the phone was turned off. Dongho felt a weird tingle in his stomach that instantly told him something wasn't right.

Kevin waited to leave his house at 2 AM when he was sure his sister Deanna was asleep. He got on his motorcycle and drove off into the night. As he got to his destination, he turned his cell phone on and saw an unknown number. He wasn't very interested to know who it was so he just put his phone on his pocket, he knew he'd possibly need it on.

He got off his motorcycle and saw Alexander. He turned around but the other caught up with him and spoke, "You know you don't have to do this." Kevin's back was still facing Alexander as he continued, "You could just drop out."

Kevin turned around and walked closer to Alexander, "And then what? Let the others think I'm still that pussy from middle school?"

"You still will be if you lose, Kevin. Don't let their words bring you down."

"Then why are you still here?"

Alexander kept silent and he finally walked away. The sounds of other motorcycles could be heard and Kevin got onto his number line. He turned his head and saw his opponent, Jonghyun.

Jonghyun looked at Kevin and smirked. "Despite our ages, Kevin, we both know you're gonna lose."

Kevin got onto his motorcycle and ignored him. His mentor, Yunho, muttered, "Don't listen to him, Kevin."

"Does it look like I am?" Yunho only nodded, he didn't want to add onto Kevin's stress.

Kevin had been trying to get into this Motor Gang ever since he moved to Korea. Alexander and Kevin never told anyone from school because it was illegal. It was the biggest gang in Seoul and it was even international. The gang had members in China, Japan, Russia, and America. Everyday a member is arrested, and it is on sworn oath to never reveal what you know about the gang or else you can kiss your life goodbye.

The winner of the motorcycle race would be a new member of the gang, those who lost would have to train again and race again. Some didn't even race again because of humiliation. So Kevin trained an extra two months, skipping his scheduled race to keep training. If Kevin won, he would be an official.

This was very important to him.

"On your marks..."

Yunho whispered, "Goog luck, kid." Yunho left to the side with all the other mentors.

"Get set..."

Kevin turned his head to look at Alexander, who was looking back at him. Alexander looked at Jonghyun, who was his student.

"Go!"

The loud sound of motorcycles running could be heard from miles away. The race had to be concise because the police would arrive soon.

Kevin was already 2nd and the first one was Jonghyun. Kevin felt dirt hit his helmet but he ignored the irritating sound it made. Soon, he was right next to Jonghyun. He tried to inch his bike away so Jonghyun wouldn't try to cheat, but he was already too late. Jonghyun rammed his bike into Kevin's but Kevin rammed back harder.

The finish line was close and Kevin was first, he couldn't even see Jonghyun anywhere but that didn't matter.

But hearing Dongho's voice in his head started to distract him. Kevin suddenly closed his eyes and he remembered holding onto the tube Dongho held and whispering in his ear. He wanted to be like that with Dongho everyday and all the time.

That's when it hit him.

Literally hit.

*BANG*

"Police!"

"Aww shit!" Kevin hissed before he crashed his motorcycle.

He felt a pair of arms grab onto him and he saw Yunho taking his motorcycle. "Dude," Alexander panted, "We have to run!"

Kevin snapped, "Just leave me here!"

Alexander ignored him and decided to carry him. Alexander started to run faster and Kevin started to lose sight. The last thing he remembered was hearing Dongho's voice asking him questions.
