Chapter 21

Minwoo, gripping tightly onto Angel's hand, walked back to his friends. "Were you two smooching?" Dongwan playfully teased and Minwoo only gave a light smile. He was going to back out of the group and right now was what he was thinking. Angel stared at Minwoo.

Minwoo took a deep breath. "You guys...I'm gonna walk Angel home," he said.

"Sure," said Jin.

"But..."

"But what?"

"I want to quit the group," said Minwoo. Everyone was silent and fear arose in Angel. Eric stood up and Minwoo stand his ground, not backing away. Heart pounding, Angel took a step forward to say her words but Minwoo pulled her back behind him.

"Excuse me?" snapped Eric in a cold, icy voice. All the rest all stared at Minwoo as if he had gone nuts.

"Minwoo!" cried out Andy.

"I want to quit Shinhwa!" repeated Minwoo in a firm voice.

"Once you join a gang, bro, you don't quit!" snarled Eric.

"Well, I am!" retorted Minwoo.

Eric narrow his eyes in anger. "You wanna play rough?" he demanded. "You know that in order to get out we're gonna have to the beat the shit out of your puny ass first!"

"Then go ahead! I'm not stopping you!" snapped Minwoo. Eric stood there, face raging mad but his body did no movement. Angel gripped tightly onto Minwoo's hand, tears welling in her eyes.

Eric clenched his fist tightly and held it high to punched Minwoo for a start of the beat up. "Hyung!" cried out Jin.

"Shut the fuck up!" snarled Eric. Jin close his mouth, looking desperate. Minwoo stared at Jin, his closes friend, he "brother". All of Shinhwa were his "brother". If he leaves, they'll no longer be his brother but his enemies.

Eric's hand were trembling. He bit his bottom lips in anger but then angrily lower his hand and looked away. Everyone was confuse. "Hyung..," said Minwoo.

"I can't hit you," said Eric softly. "Not you, the guy whom I had trusted. Even if you did back out from our group, I'm not going to laid a finger on you." But he stared at Minwoo. "But if I ever see you, I swore I'll sent you to the hospital in one flash."

With anger, Eric turned and walked off. Minwoo was staring after Eric and Angel was breathing hard. Was Minwoo really over being a gangster? She didn't know. Minwoo turned to walk Angel home and the two started off.

"MINWOO!" shouted Jin, rushing after them. The rest were just in shock.

Minwoo continued walking.

"Minwoo!" shouted Jin. He stopped in front of Minwoo. Minwoo stared up at his friend. Jin gave him a courage smile, for having the guts to quit being a gang. "Hope you get your life back on track, man," said Jin, holding out his hand.

Tears flooded Minwoo's eyes. Smiling, he grabbed Jin's hand and the two did their "man" hug. Jin patted Minwoo on the back and Minwoo almost shed a tear. The two pulled away and Jin nodded at Minwoo. "See you man," whispered Minwoo ever so softly.

"I...I guess this is the end," said Jin. He stared at Angel. "Please take care of Minwoo."

Angel nodded. Then Jin walked past minwoo and back to his friends. Minwoo stood there as the raw wind whipped around them. Angel touched Minwoo's face, staring into his eyes. Minwoo let out a sigh. Then the two continued on and never looked back.

Looking up, Angel and Minwoo notice her house. Police cars were everywhere. Angel turned and stared at Minwoo. "I guess...I guess I'll see you around then," she said and Minwoo nodded.

"Don't worry for me."

"But, how would you keep warm?" asked Angel.

"I'll manage." Minwoo tenderly touched her cheek with the back of his hand. "It's only you that I care for, not myself."

Angel nodded and walked towards her house. Minwoo watched as her parents hugged her and Minwoo turned and the night swallow him.

*****

Jin, Dongwan, Andy, and Hyesung all appeared from the shadow. Eric stood there, his back to them and smoking. "He's gone isn't he?" asked Eric softly.

"Yes," said Hyesung.

Eric looked up into the sky. "Then mind as well forget him. Move it." He walked off and the others have no choice but to follow.

*****

Angel laid in her bed, feeling uncomfortable. She sighed. 'Minwoo, are you safe?' she thought. He now occupied her mind and she can't get him out.

*****

Knock knock. Mrs. Kim looked up, confuse. She set down her embroidery and walked towards the door. "Who is it?" she asked. No voice but the knocking came again. "Okay, hold on." She opened it and a gun was pointed to her head.

*****

Angel almost fell asleep when a shot awoke her. Immediately, she woke up and rushed downstairs. "Mom! Dad!" she screamed. When she got down, she gasped and screamed.
