Jinyoung's meetings gave surprise after surprise, really, and this one was no different. He avoided our gazes again, as he did the first time, but it was different this time. Not out of shame, but out of fear.
"I'm sort of a murderer. An assassin."
"An... assassin?" Hyunsuk asked, voice breaking. "Are you saying that... you want to kill Seojun? For one offense?"
Jinyoung glanced at Seunghun. One certainly wasn't the right number, but I doubted that was going to be information they were dishing out to anyone. "Well... look. If anyone goes that far without punishment, it's well deserved. Nobody knows what he's doing out here, and I doubt they'd be bold enough to tell anyone like I did. How many kids have been touched that way?"
"Well..." I started. "What are you trying to say?"
"Besides wanting to kill Seojun, of course," Yonghee piped up.
"I..." Jinyoung couldn't come up with easier words. "Look, it's not like I can't do it myself, but I want your guys' help." His eyes darted around, locking eyes with each of us. Not a word. "Okay then. I'll actually execute the entire thing, so I just need you guys to help me."
Doable. "And how should we do that?"
Jinyoung began to speak, but he stopped once again. "Look, I've still got to work out a few more things. I'll... I'll talk to you guys whenever I figure it out. But he will suffer for what he's done."
What if? What if we did help him? I didn't like Seojun, I doubted that any of us had any good feelings towards him left, so it wouldn't hurt more than anything.
"Seunghun," I started softly once the others had left, "did you know?"
Silence for a few beats. "Yeah," Seunghun answered, voice soft. "Is it bad?"
"Is what?"
"...That I want him dead too."
How would I answer that? I reached for Seunghun's hand in the dark, one last familiar thing before whatever was going to change in the next coming days. I could feel it already. Caution. Punctuality. And, of course, the utmost important secrecy.
"No," I whisped.
