It had been a month since Hongjoong had left his house. After what happened with San, he was terrified. Hongjoong was paranoid because of the event.
"Joong, come on", Seonghwa spoke.
"Hwa, I said no. You and the guys have fun. I'm staying here".
"Nothing is gonna hurt you", Seonghwa said.
"You said that last time and what happened? I was kidnapped and forced to play a game with a psycho"! Hongjoong shouted. Seonghwa groaned.
"Fine! See you later"! Seonghwa walked out, slamming the door shut as Hongjoong sat in his bedroom.
-
Hongjoong sat in the room until 10pm and began to worry about Seonghwa. He was never the one to come home so late and not let Hongjoong know. So the boy grabbed his phone and called Seonghwa.
"Come on Hwa"... Hongjoong whispered before the call was answered.
"Hwa, where are"-
"Joongie! Oh how I missed your voice". Hongjoong felt his blood freeze at the voice. He watched him die. He was dead, wasn't he?
"S-San"?
"You remember me! Thank you. Seonghwa's safe don't worry. But your not gonna get him back".
"Why are you doing this San"? The boy laughed, sending shivers down Hongjoong's spine.
"You want him back? We'll play a game. You win, I release him and leave you both alone. But fail... Well... You'll see what happens if you fail. Tic tok Hongjoong. I'll send you the the first riddle. Get it right and you'll find the next riddle at the location. Better hurry if you want Seonghwa to live". San hung up and Hongjoong let out a frustrated cry.
"Please be ok Hwa"... His phone went off and Hongjoong looked at the message.
"The first place Hwa and I went to? The beach"!! Hongjoong grabbed his things and rushed down to the front door before he stopped. He looked in the kitchen and grabbed a knife to protect himself before he left.
-
Hongjoong got the the beach and looked around for the next clue and soon found it.
"The first place Hwa took me on a date to"? Hongjoong had to think hard. The two had been together for 2 years so he had a hard time to remember where their first went on a date.
"First date... At the Korean BBQ near our house"! Hongjoong ran to the Korean BBQ place. When he entered, he found the owner, shaking in fear.
"H-Hongjoong"! The owner, Yeosang shouted, running out.
"Yeosang, are you ok"?
"N-no. San... He's crazy"!
"I know. And I'm sorry. But I have to find clues and I believe one is here". Yeosang pulled out a note from his pocket.
"T-this may be what your looking for"... Hongjoong took it.
"Thank you". Hongjoong opened the letter and read it.
"Where Hwa got my ring"...
"I'm guessing he never told you"? Yeosang asked.
"No he didn't. Fuck, he's gonna kill Hwa if I fail"! Hongjoong shouted. Yeosang looked down.
"I'm sorry I can't be of any help Hongjoong".
"I-it's fine. I'll figure it out". Suddenly his phone rang and Hongjoong grabbed it, seeing it was Seonghwa's number.
"I hate you San and this stupid fucking game"! Hongjoong shouted into the phone, his anger rising.
"J-Joong"? His expression suddenly softened
"Hwa! Oh my god, are you ok? He hasn't hurt you"?
"N-no he hasn't hurt me. P-please hurry though. Please. H-he's gonna hurt me".
"I'm trying Hwa but I'm stuck. You never told me where you got my ring from".
"P-Pandora. I got it from Pandora. Now please hurry"! The phone was ripped out of Seonghwa's hand, making his cry out.
"Hwa"!
"How sweet. He really told you. That's one finger lost. If he tells you the answer, he loses a finger", San sung into the phone. Seonghwa's screams filled Hongjoong ears, telling him San had just cut off one finger.
"Your sick"...
"Maybe I am. But nothing will stop me from getting what I want. So I don't care who I kill". San hung up the phone and Hongjoong frowned before he ran out of Korean BBQ and towards Pandora. When he entered, he looked around and found the next clue. He grabbed it and opened.
"'If you want to find your lover, go the the place he proposed to you'. That's easy. A small meadow"! Hongjoong knew exactly where to go so he bolted out of the shop
-
"Hwa? Hwa, where are you"? Hongjoong called. He was at the meadow and couldn't see the anywhere.
"He isn't here". Hongjoong turned to see a taller male walking over to him.
"W-what do you mean, he isn't here? Where is he? Who are you"?
"Min- Nevermind. I will get hurt if I say my name to you". Hongjoong sighed.
"Where's Seonghwa"? Mingi beckoned Hongjoong to follow him and was led to an abandoned school. It was the same school Hongjoong had been trapped in. Hongjoong swallowed but followed Mingi inside.
"There he is"~ Hongjoong turned to see San walking over, smiling like a maniac.
"W-where's Hwa"? Hongjoong asked.
"Ouch. No 'good to see you again'"?
"Where is he"?
"Ok, I'll take you to him". San skipped off and Hongjoong followed him, Mingi following close behind. They entered a classroom and in the middle was Seonghwa. Blood dripped on floor from his hands where San and cut off a finger but Hongjoong noticed he had cut off more than one. He ran over.
"Hwa"! He cried out. Seonghwa looked up at him.
"J-Joong"!
"I'll get you out". Hongjoong began pulling at the ropes before he felt something drip onto him. Looking up, he screamed as tears filled his eyes. Seonghwa's neck had been sliced open, blood rolling down as he looked at Hongjoong before he went limp in the chair.
"NO! SEONGHWA NO"!!! He screamed. He looked at San, who was smirking as he stood behind Seonghwa.
"He took you away from me! Anyone who gets in my way dies".
"YOU FUCKING MONSTER!! I HATE YOU!!! I'LL NEVER BE WITH A MONSTER LIKE YOU"!!! Hongjoong shouted as tears fell. San's face fell as he looked at Hongjoong.
"B-but I did this this f-for you... I did all this to be with you"!
"Maybe don't fucking kill anyone and maybe you could've had me! You killed my fiancé"! San walked over to him, holding the knife tight in his hand as he grabbed Hongjoong.
"If I'm not aloud to have you, then no one can have you", he whispered before he dug the knife deep into Hongjoong's chest. Hongjoong coughed up blood as San pulled the knife out, pushing him down to the ground. San looked at the knife and turned it to him before he stabbed it straight into his throat, falling forward next to Hongjoong's dead body.
