Chapter Eighteen

"Who do you hate?.." I heard a male voice say. Surprised and scared i look up and meet eyes with someone i thought would be gone for longer.

Y/n looked up at the sound of the voice.
Her tears however didn't stop. He walked towards her and sat down next to her, Y/n scooted away from him. "Are you here to kill me?.." She asked him. Hongjoong chuckled sadly and looked at the girl with pity. "I was going to earlier. I know I know I'm not making this better...but..I'm not going to" Hongjoong looked into the girls eyes. She was devastated. Y/n only nod, remembering the times Seonghwa told that he wouldn't hurt her and did it anyways.

"You won't trust me again and I know that" He started his sentence but stopped. Y/n took a closer look at his face, his eyes were pitch black an evil smile portrayed on his face. "And in your case, you should never have trusted me in the first place." He stood up and grabbed the nearest object. Y/n's eyes widen, she got up from the sofa as fast as possible and ran out of the living room, towards the back door in the kitchen. "You can't run from me! I will make my father proud!" She heard Hongjoong's voice coming closer by the second. Y/n struggled opening the back door, it wasn't locked however it still didn't budge at all.

"you cant leave darling." he turned her around and pinned her against the door. "hongjoong-please dont.." she whimpered as tears streamed down her face. "You've went through it once before I got interrupted now..as you can see no one will save you." Hongjoong devilishly smirked at her, his eyes turning into a deep red color. Her body started aching in immense pain, resulting in her screaming out in pain. "make it stop- AHHG" Y/n could feel fresh cuts all over her body once again..

Blood came out of each cut but this time she felt like her brain was going to explode. Multiple visions started roaming her mind, happy memories with the boys, her family and past friends. Her life was flashing before her eyes, she was seconds away from death..
Hongjoong's hands left her shoulders, the girl fell onto the ground, shivering. The blood loss made the girl look way more pale than a human could have ever been. Hongjoong crouched down to the girls level, meeting her eyes. "I love the way you're looking at me right now, so tired...full of sadness, regret and anger. Too bad you can't do anything"

He smiled creepily and stood up again. "It's only a matter of time until you either decide to kill yourself or die due to the loss of blood. I'll be by your side" Hongjoong laughed and left the kitchen, going to the living room and getting comfortable there. Y/n tried to move, to at least get to the front door, the pain didn't let her do that task though. Each time she decided to move a muscle the pain would start shooting up her whole body, making her lean back into the door. She could feel her breath getting quicker by each second, her heartbeat slowing down.

It's been around ten minutes, her strength and senses became weaker and weaker by the minute. Now it really were only a few more minutes until she'd pass out. Hongjoong would make his way to her every once in a while to see if she'd died already or not and every time he was disappointed by seeing her breathing fragile figure on the ground. She wasn't planning on giving up now, definitely not under his watch.

Y/n could hear muffled voices coming from the entrance area of the house. Her head started to get dizzy by the sudden yelling "Where...Hongjoong!?." Y/n could only hear a few words from the muffled voices. She squinted her eyes as she saw a tall figure running towards her, the person squat down in front of her, holding onto her shoulders. "Y/n!?...Do..hear?Hey!" She couldn't make out to who that voice belonged to but it sounded comforting. Her eyes started to flutter shut, her body giving up on fighting any longer.

The guys  have arrived back on earth after an hour of trying to go through the portal in the underworld. Standing in front of their house felt quite weird, they could've sworn they felt a weird sensation coming from the house.
"Am I the only one who feels something weird?" San asked as he started to make his way towards the entrance. The other six followed after him. Seonghwa could feel an evil aura coming from the house and he already knew who it was.

"You're not the only one and now make space. Hongjoong's in there" seonghwa growled and ran past the others, they all exchanged a confused glance. None of them have seen seonghwa so mad over Hongjoong. "Y/n is in there too! Shit-" Yunho yelled and ran towards the entrance, breaking it down along side with seonghwa. They enter the house and got greeted by a smiling Hongjoong. "Where the fuck is she Hongjoong!?" Yunho yelled, earning a smirk from the shorter male.

"It's easy to find her, she might be dead already-" Seonghwa grabbed Hongjoong by his collar and slammed him against the nearest wall. "If she's dead Hongjoong...You're Next." Seonghwa threatens, not letting go. "You wanted to kill her so bad seonghwa, where did the spirit go?" Hongjoong asked teasingly. Seonghwa's eyes turned dark, too dark..  "you've forgot that I have access to our fathers sword right? I will end you right here, right now" Seonghwa smiled in amusement when he noticed the horrified expression forming on Hongjoong's face.

"Y/n!?Do you hear me!? Hey!" They heard Yunho yell from the kitchen. Seonghwa glared at Hongjoong before running off to the kitchen.
Hongjoong smiled in triumph, making his way out of the house. His smile fading once he felt a sharp burning pain in his abdomen, he took a better look in front of him, there stood Mingi with fierce red eyes. Hongjoong slowly looked down towards his abdomen, black blood was covering his shirt and pants, the dagger sticking inside his abdomen.

"I never would've thought that I would kill my own brother. But there is no way I would have let you live after killing Y/n. You really are fathers son.." Hongjoong listened to Mingi's words, as he slowly dropped to the ground. The same destiny occurring to him that he had just recently done to the girl. He started coughing up blood, it dripping down his chin onto the ground. Hongjoong's evil thoughts vanishing, replaced with memories he made.

This time, tears started to fill his eyes. Why?
He remembered the time he first met the girl, the time they shared the first hug and their kiss. He threw it all away for his fathers approval, for his father that killed their uncle because he simply was in love..
"At least I'll die here, I'll be able to watch over her" Hongjoong barely let out a whisper, his eyes flutter shut as he dropped down onto the concrete steps. His last memory being him hurting the girl that made him feel something.

Oh how much he regretted killing her
