Do you remember me? (skz fanfiction)

Hyunjin PoV

I couldn't keep looking at this. Jisung was so desperate and I just couldn't take it anymore. I felt my eyes fill with tears as well, but I blinked them away. Because of this, I turned away from the scene and saw the two youngest coming toward us. Seungmin had an arm around Jeongin's shoulders while Jeongin was limping slightly next to him. Maybe it was worse than just a cramp. 

"Holy shit," said Seungmin, who was looking at Minho's dead body and Jisung, who was still laying his head on the corpse's chest. Jeongin broke away from Seungmin, ran to me and hugged me. He ran...

He buried his face in my chest and I could hear him sobbing. "I'm so sorry..." I rubbed his back and whispered, "Hey... hey what are you sorry for?" He didn't answer and just kept crying. 

Then I heard Changbin's voice. His voice was amused and he spoke loudly, "Oh come on Innie. Now that they know about me. Tell them about our plan." My eyes wandered to the older and I glared at him angrily. All I wanted was to do to him what he had done to Minho. But then I wouldn't be any better than him. 

Jeongin suddenly burst into tears. He crashed to the ground and clutched his chest. "I-I am so sorry... He made me do it. He said Minho k-knew too much but I didn't know what he was talking about. T-Then he threatened me that h-he would hurt you all if I didn't get you guys to come here and then he said I-I should distract you as soon as he left with Minho. I'm so s-sorry. It's all my fault."

The anger in me almost boiled over. We all trusted Changbin and he betrayed that trust. He made the youngest and weakest of us do something he did not want to. He manipulated him and deceived us all. I clenched my fists. 

Changbin started screaming, "Jeongin! What are you talking about?! This isn't going according to our plan! He's lying! He was never Jeongin! The Jeongin you know is most likely fighting for his life right now and stuck in the other world! He-" Felix interrupted him, "Shut the fuck up! First you killed Minho. Killed! You fucking killed someone! And now you blame Jeongin for things he didn't do," tears formed in his eyes and as he blinked those tears ran down his cheeks before he continued. "And what about us? Was it all even real? Were you just playing with me? So you could manipulate us better? Because what I felt for you was real! But it looks like you were just using me. You lousy little bastard!"

It happened so much. Felix punched Changbin's chest with so much tears in his eyes, even though he barely had the strength to do so, before he collapsed in more tears like Jeongin. Seungmin went to Jisung and held him tightly while the older let his tears run free. He was still sitting close to Minho's body and couldn't let go of his hand. 

Chan watched everything as I did. He took a deep breath and then looked at Changbin like he'd never looked at anyone before. Like a father who saw his child's killer in the courtroom. Changbin was dead to him and that look scared me. Chan, who always had warm soft eyes, could look at someone like that. I never thought I would experience this. 

"Go away. Don't you ever dare to come back. If I see you around one of us just one time, brace yourself. I never want to see you again!" he hissed angrily through his teeth. And that tone of voice would scare everybody more than him yelling at someone.

And in the next moment, Changbin turned and walked away from us.
