Time || YeonGyu AU✔

chapter 54

          "How do we know at what time he's going to kidnap me?", Beomgyu asked as he raced around the room nervously. His legs were shaking in fear, and he felt like crying out of fear.

          "My parents always said that you were kidnapped at midnight when they were sleeping", Yeonjun replied matter of factly, "So I'm guessing that we should be here for 24 o'clock at least"

          Beomgyu let out a sigh and flopped heavily onto the sofa, running his fingers through his dark locks and clutching them out of frustration. Yeonjun knew the boy had been too emotional after everything they saw in the past and he had no idea what he could do to soothe him. Maybe it was time for the action. Maybe Beomgyu would feel better once they changed their ugly fate, so they'd never have to feel that pain and shame ever again.

          Yeonjun grabbed the time machine and brought it to the couch, setting the time to September 23, 2001. Then he looked up at Beomgyu who still had his face buried in his palms, feeling pity and sympathy grow as he watched Beomgyu shake with suppressed tears.

           The older's face caught the full strength of the rising wind and he lifted his hand which shook uncontrollably on its way to the younger's face. As he moved closer, Beomgyu finally seemed to sense what was happening and his gaze shot up to meet Yeonjun's worried eyes, but the soft touch he felt on his face paralysed him completely as if the universe itself had frozen over. He couldn't move or even think. He just stood there waiting for this new nightmare to continue, but before it started, he heard a faint whisper come from the other.

          "Please, let's end our suffering together"

          "What if I do it instead?"

          Both males flinched in their seats at the sudden voice coming from the doorway, their shocked eyes instantly snapping to the black-haired male who was standing there with malicious intentions written all over his face while holding a gun tightly in his hand.

          Yeonjun and Beomgyu instantly leapt up from their seats, staring at Soobin with wide eyes as the latter pointed his gun at Yeonjun. They both looked terrified, ready to fight their attacker if necessary, yet they remained still in their spot, neither daring to make any movement.

          "Maybe it will be better if I kill him first", Soobin growled evilly as his eyes drifted to frozen Beomgyu, piercing through his soul, "So you'll know what it means when they take away someone special to you"

          All the words the youngest wanted to say died on his tongue. All he did was watch Soobin walk towards them slowly, still keeping his gun pointed at the oldest. The gun was held steady, aimed directly at Yeonjun's chest...

          "Why are you looking at me like that?", Soobin spat harshly, glaring at the oldest who was too tongue-tied to utter a word, "Are you shocked to see me aiming my gun at you instead of begging you for love?"

          Yeonjun felt the tears welling up behind his eyes but refused to let them fall. He wouldn't let Soobin get the last laugh.

          "It's too late for regrets now", Soobin said with a clear disgust etched on his face, "I won't let you stop me from saving Taehyun"

          Yeonjun didn't even have time to analyse his words when Soobin suddenly loaded his gun in a blink of an eye and then there was a gunshot, the sound filling the house with deafening noise and sending a shockwave of fear and horror throughout him. He closed his eyes tightly, waiting for the pain and feeling of dying to strike, but neither of them came his way. So after some seconds, he opened his eyes again and saw Beomgyu's body in front of him, causing his eyes to widen dramatically in terror right away.
