The ride back home was silent. The air itself seemed to weigh down on their shoulders as they drove, each wanting to talk but finding nothing to say. How could they after what they had just seen? Felix pulled out the piece of paper in his pocket, turning it over three times for good luck. He silently prayed it wouldn't be what he feared. He began to unfold it, one part at a time, his hands sticky with sweat. Little by little, a face was revealed. Felix looked at it only long enough to confirm his suspicions before stuffing it back in his coat, tears leaking slowly from his eyes.
The man who had been hung was innocent. He knew it. It wasn't possible for him to have deserved that. They had been in the same class at school. He had been shy, nervous around others but very clever. He was top of the class every time they took a test. But it hadn't gotten to his head. He had always let Felix copy his homework. They had spoken on a regular basis. The blond boy thought back to their conversations, always interesting. That boy had been quiet around others but not around him. He was a savage. He could always think up a witty retort, no matter the insult. Felix remembered the way his brown hair had always gotten in his face when he got overexcited. Remembered his strange but understandable obsession with Day6.
He remembered the striking resemblance to a harmless, innocent puppy.
The image was quickly replaced with those same features, filled with fear and the awareness that his seconds were limited. That neck, hung, mangled and leaking like a broken faucet.
Tomorrow, Felix knew, it would be all over the news. They would show footage from the car park. They would express a sense of loss for a person they never knew. A person they never will know.
He wanted to be an astronaut
Felix's phone pinged. He took it out and saw the news article, already up. "That was fast" he thought, bitterly. He opened it and was caught off guard by the headline.
MURDER VICTIM IDENTIFIED. STUDENT KIM SEUNGMIN KILLED.
Then Felix broke. His body was racked with dry sobs, his chest heaving, his fist clenched. He took out the second sketch, staring in anger at the almost perfect picture of the boy. The stranger had struck again. But why did he keep warning Felix? Was it a warning? And of what nature? Was it an 'I just killed somebody' warning?
No. As much as he wanted to believe it, he knew there was a reason it was him. The stranger wasn't giving him a heads up. He was telling him.
He was saying 'I'll get you too'
Sorry. This is kind of just filler. Hope you guys are okay
