Chapter Fourteen

Hongjoong smiled sweetly at her and started eating his food, giving her some comfort while being sat next to the person that tried to kill her.

—————————————————————

All of them got done eating quite fast, Y/n stood up and brought her plate to the kitchen. Soon enough the others walked in, putting the plates into the sink. Hongjoong was the last one to enter, he put his plate into the sink and hugged her from behind, resting his head on her shoulder. Startled, Y/n moved his arms away from her and turned around looking at him confused „what's up?" She asked him.

He smiled a little and took a step closer towards her „I just want to spend time with you, you haven't been talking to me.." He gently held her hands „I'm sorry, I've been distracted due to the things happening and I felt more at peace with San and Yunho.."
Hongjoong scoffed, his grip on her hand tightening a bit, he pulled her close and engulfed her in a hug. „I want to be the one you feel at peace with..not them, me" he mumbled into the crook of her neck.

„Hongjoong-„ Y/n started talking but got interrupted by him looking at her again. He gently cupped her face in his and smiled a little. Y/n looked into his eyes, obviously nervous by the intense eye contact. „The other guys will be trying to win you over but I want to make sure you're only mine" he whispers before leaning in. Hongjoong stopped his actions when they heard a cough „You two can kiss in private but not in the kitchen, disgusting" Seonghwa says with disgust on his face.

Hongjoong rolled his eyes and let go of Y/n, walking towards Seonghwa and out of the kitchen. Y/n shrugged her shoulders and continued to wash the dishes, trying to forget about the sudden tension.

„What is it Seonghwa" He asked the taller male  irritated. Seonghwa chuckled and pushed him a little, causing Hongjoong to get even more mad. „Come on Hongjoong, you want to kill her just as bad as I do..you want her soul and that's all" Seonghwa was in fact, correct about that. Hongjoong wants to survive, he wanted to gain her trust, make her fall for him until he makes his final move. Hongjoong rolled his eyes "So what? Scared I'll take your chance away?"

"No, absolutely not. I'll get it done way faster than you. Just watch me" Seonghwa smirked and walked out of the hallway, upstairs to his own room. Y/n was hiding behind the wall, listening to the conversation going on, shocked and scared she took a deep breath and walked out of the kitchen, catching Hongjoong's attention. He walked towards her trying to grab her hand but she swiftly moved away, towards the stairs. "Y/n, what's wrong?" Hongjoong asked in worry, following after her but she decided to ignore him and close her room door on him, locking it.

She took another deep breath inside her room, walking to her bathroom, brushing her teeth.
After that she walked out of it, towards her bed. She sat down on it and scrolled on social media, not finding much to do.
Suddenly she sees black smoke form in the corner of her room, with furrowed eye brows she stood up and walked towards it.
She yelped as she saw a hand touch her, closing her eyes she tried to pull her arm away, only to be pulled into a hug.

Confused she opened her eyes "H-Hongjoong.." she stuttered looking up into his dark eyes. He pinned her against the wall, making sure she wouldn't be able to leave.
The memories of Seonghwa started playing inside her head, she began shaking, tears welling in her eyes. Hongjoong however didn't let go. "You heard what Seonghwa said, didn't you?" He growled. Y/n slowly nod, terrified of what comes next. "How about we don't talk more and you just let me..." He smirked devilishly.

Y/n's eyes widen as she feels a stinging pain inside her head, she screamed as the pain wanders throughout her body, looking down at her legs she noticed blood oozing out of them.
Just like the vision she saw through Yunho..
"Kim Hongjoong!" A deep voice yelled, pulling Hongjoong away from her, she stood still, unable to move, the pain stopping.
"Mingi! You just ruined the fun.." Mingi shook his head and left the room with Hongjoong, walking downstairs and pushing him against a wall aggressively.

The six other guys looked at the both of them, Seonghwa smirking as he watched the scene unfold. "Woah woah, what's going on here?"
Yunho asked as he got up and out a hand on Mingi's shoulder. Mingi punched Hongjoong and let go, looking at Yunho. "Bastard tried to take her soul!" Mingi yelled, his eyes dark due to the anger burning inside of him. Yunho's mood changed from confusion to worry and anger, he looked down at Hongjoong and shook his head. "Seriously!?" Yunho yelled.

San quickly stood up and made his way upstairs to Y/n,  he wanted to make sure she's alright, he wanted to make sure she's still alive..

"Y/n..Y/n!" He ran inside the room, the girl unconscious on the floor. He ran to her and picked her up, laying her down on the bed.
"How is she" Yunho appeared with Mingi on his side. "She's breathing but her arms and legs are full of cuts..she was on the verge of death" Yunho and Mingi made thier way over there. "We'll heal her and one of us should always be around her, it's dangerous with Hongjoong and Seonghwa in the house."

"She deserves so much better.."
San mumbles as he caressed her hair, guilt forming inside of him.
