Chapter  Fifteen

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

The next day, 10 a.m.

Y/n opened her eyes with a light headache, looking around she saw no one with her, which made her relax a little. She stood up and turned on the shower, after showering she changed and walked out of her room, towards the living room. She arrived downstairs and saw everyone except two people sitting there.
"Morning guys.." she mumbled and walks lazily to the kitchen.

"Morning Y/n" A calm voice said, smiling while looking at her. She rubs her eyes and looks at the guy again. "Since when do you smile?" She asks Seonghwa while grabbing a mug and making herself tea. Seonghwa chuckles a little and walks closer to her, stopping when he felt her being scared. "I won't hurt you again-"
She quickly interrupts him and throws him a angry glare. "That's what you said the last time. You proceeded to hurt me..TWICE" She yelled the last part, obviously fed up by him.

She grabs her mug and walks to the living room. Seonghwa looks after her with a slight smile "I like that attitude of yours, but this time I mean it." He says loud enough for her to hear, she decides to just ignore it and entered the living room. "Hey, how are you feeling?.." San stands up and makes her sit down in his space, choosing to sit on the floor. Y/n smiled a little and placed the mug down on the coffee table. "I'm alright, I'm just puzzled because I remember having cuts all over my body.."

"Might sound ridiculous but I healed you with the help of Yunho and Mingi. You might still see scars, they'll stay forever." San explains holding her hand. She looks at him with soft eyes and thanks him before letting go of his hand to drink her tea. She winced as she felt the burning liquid in her tongue "ouch.." she puts the mug back and stands up to get herself some water. San chuckled and followed after her.

"You should've known that the tea isn't cooled down yet.." San said and handed her a glass, which the girl gladly took. "I just couldn't wait I guess" she fills the glass with water and takes a sip out of it. She finishes the glass and puts it into the sink, turning around to face San again.
"Where's Hongjoong?" She suddenly blurts out, catching him off guard. San blinks a few times before answering "he left. Quite literally, he went back to the underworld, which the rest of us will be soon too. Remember when we talked about visiting?" He asked to which the girl nod in response.

"We're planning to go tonight, I'm sorry for leaving you here. One of us- no I can stay with you-" She walks to him and pats his shoulder "I will be fine. Visit your home San" she laughs a little at his softened expression. "I never thought I'd say that" she chuckles. San smiles and pulls her in for a hug, she gladly accepts it and pulls away not too soon after. "We will be back soon alright? I promise.." San assured her and the both of them walk back to the living room.

———————————————————————

Y/n looks at the clock on the wall, 8 P.m.
The guys were upstairs getting changed into different clothes and getting thier stuff together. Y/n watched TV in the mean time, waiting for the other seven guys.
She heard multiple footsteps rushing downstairs, being face to face with seven guys.
They all wore black clothes, and had each a bag around thier shoulders. "You guys look like you're going on a gang mission" she explains, earning a smirk from Seonghwa.

"We'll be leaving now, I promise you that we will be back soon enough" San smiles sadly and walks up to her, placing his bag down and engulfing her in a hug. She hugs him back and rubs his back. "I'll be alright, you guys go"
They all smile at her and walk up to her to give her a group hug, except for Seonghwa. He didn't move an inch and only looked at the girl's smile, feeling a strange tingling inside of him. The guys seperate themselves from her and walk out of the door, she looks at Seonghwa, who was standing still on the spot.

"Aren't you leaving too?.." she asks, seonghwa took a few steps towards her, looking down at her. "Are you going to miss me hmh?" He chuckles, his eyes darken going from dark brown to pure black. The girl filled with fear as she takes steps back, seonghwa walking towards her. She bumps against the table and falls backwards, closing her eyes as she expects to crash into it. Seonghwa wraps his arm around her waist and pulled her back, holding her close to his chest. She looks up and meets his black eyes.

"I told you that I'm not going to hurt you Y/n"
He whispers, returning to his brown eyes and letting go of her. "I just wanted to give you a little scare" he laughs a little, smiling. His smile for once being genuine in front of her.
"I have to go too, I will see you when we come back from hell" he told her and turned around to walk out the door, he stopped walking and turned around again, cursing under his breath
"I forgot something" he mumbled. Y/n raises a brow and looks at him "what did you forget? Want me to go get it for you?"

He shakes his head "no it's alright, It's nothing too important" he wanted to turn around again, to leave with the others, however he couldn't stop thinking about it. "Actually..can you get me my ring from my nightstand?" He asked her, she nods and ran upstairs to get it.
She entered his room and searched for the ring, not finding it anywhere on the nightstand or anywhere else. She walks back downstairs towards him "I'm sorry but I couldn't find it.." she looked genuinely sorry, he smiled lightly and raised his hand, showing her the ring.

"I wanted to see your reaction, here" he took it off, taking her hand and putting it on her ring finger. He smiled at her startled expression "you look good with red" he winks.
Yunho entered the house again "seonghwa come on!" Yunho yelled and left again. Seonghwa looked down at her and gave her a quick peck on the forehead "I'll see you again sweetheart" Y/n stood there confused why did he do that?..how is he so nice after all that he's done?..

"I hope you didn't hurt her or else I will hurt you." Yunho threatens, only earning a chuckle from Seonghwa. "You worry too much."
