Thanos and Nam Gyu… had a weird relationship...

Nam Gyu works as a bartender for a nightclub called ‘the pentagon club’. The club wasn’t much different from your other clubs in Seoul, it just had a lot more… ‘illegal’ activities (drug use). And because Nam Gyu works there every day for long hours, he ended up taking things that customers gave him and eventually got addicted to it.

Thanos was a failed rapper, he had wanted to be a rapper for ages but he wasn’t very good at writing his own lyrics, his Melodie’s were slow and choppy, it just wasn’t working out for him. He had really bad mental health issues, scars up his arms from his own actions, his family didn’t want anything to do with him, his life was a mess. He ended up going to the pentagon club a lot to get drunk and hopefully forget about his issues for a while.

This is how he and Nam Gyu began dating. At first, Nam Gyu was just a bartender to Thanos, until they started talking more and finding out things about each other that they could relate to. Their relationship was pretty good, they comforted each other, understood each other and overall just be there for each other like they should be as partners. But when they had arguments, it was bad. The two of them were equally as stubborn, never wanted to admit they were wrong and dragged their arguments out for way longer than necessary. But those only ever lasted a few days before they’d make up and were great again.

Yesterday, Thanos and Nam Gyu had been arguing about something stupid, the argument ended with Thanos storming out Nam Gyu’s house and shouting the ‘we’re done’ threat to Nam Gyu, like he always did ay the end of their arguments, he never means it and was usually the first out of the two of them to pick up the phone and admit he was wrong.

Today, Thanos got up and felt bad about the argument, it was a dumb fight but went too far. He picked up his phone to call Nam Gyu and apologise but the call rang out multiple times, taking him to voicemail. He left many messages on Nam Gyu’s voicemail and not one was answered. He waited 30 minutes in case Nam Gyu was maybe still sleeping, he tended to sleep in, but when he still didn’t get a text or a call, he got worried. So he grabbed his keys and drove down to Nam Gyu’s house to check that he was okay.

After he got to Nam Gyu’s house, he knocked loudly on the door and got no answer, he shouted his name multiple times and got no answer again. He was definitely home, his car was still parked in the driveway. Thanos used his key that Nam Gyu had gave him to unlock the door and walk into the house. He shouted out a couple more times for Nam Gyu and was met with silence. He checked every room and saw no sign of the man. Then he got to the bedroom and slowly pushed the door open, hoping to god that he was in his bed, having a really deep sleep.

When he walked into the bedroom, the sight that he saw was not what he had hoped for at all. Nam Gyu was lying on his bed, passed out unconscious with his cat sleeping against his side, and a obviously used needle lying on the floor by his bed, as if he’d dropped it before he passed out. Thanks rushed over to his side, repeating his name and a few swear words over and over again under his breath as he touched his face and everything for signs of breathing. His face and body were cold, freezing even, but he was breathing still… even if it was shallow.
