Ruins

-Chapter 14: Ruins-

"The Earth is littered with the ruins of empires that believed they were eternal."

Everything was like a stupid, fucking illusion.

In his mint green eyes, the waves crashed furiously against the cliff. His eyes were my ocean, my mint green colored ocean where I accepted to drown, embraced my death like an old friend. And losing it as soon as i accepted it, hurt more than death.

"Ah, Rosa. Rosa Rosa Rosa.." he hummed playfully, tilting his head to the side. "Did you come to join the party? But this time I didn't invite you." He pouted with a mocking expression.

"Saeran, what are you doing? What happened to you..why are you taking MC as hostage? Didn't you go to talk to Savior?" My voice was trembling with shock and confusion.

I tried to take a step towards him but he raised the bomb switch in his free hand while smirking. "Take one more step and I'll blow this place up, Rosa." he muttered, while smirking wickedly.

"What..what happened?" The red-haired boy next to me was looking helplessly at Saeran. "Why are you...! Why are you here!? You're Saeran,right...?" His voice was shaking so much that for a moment I felt like he was going to fall over and pass out next to me.

As soon as he heard his name, his mint green eyes almost went wide with anger. "Don't call me that. You don't deserve to say that name."

When that red line was crossed, when the boundaries called impassable were crossed, the mind was the first thing to leave the table. Because the mind would first get up from the table where anger sits.

I couldn't find the courage to speak for myself. Such was the destruction before me that its remains would have destroyed us with it. The four of us stared at each other in this apartment, not knowing what to expect a minute later. This was destruction, this was doom. Saeran, the man who was the hell itself in my eyes, was going to drag us down with him this time.

"You are the one who copied my algorithm...? God...When did you learned to hack!? Who taught you?"

"Shut up!" Saeran hissed with all of his rage.

"Why are you doing this!? Rika told me that you..."

Rika..so this guy is Saeran's twin, Saeyoung right?

"You..don't you dare say that name." Saeran's voice was stern, yet threatening.

"What?" Saeyoung muttered in confusion, his right hand tightly grabbed the silver cross on his chest.

"Traitor!" Saeran yelled with hatred, his eyes piercing through him. "All the names you spit out will be contaminated so shut up."

"Saeran." I tried to speak in a calm tone. "Let go of MC. Let's talk calmly. There are things you think that are true but are actually wrong. Please-"

He continued to hold MC with his left arm wrapped around her neck as he turned his gaze sarcastically to me. "The thing you're right about is Rosa, there are definitely things I misunderstood. For example, you're a traitor like him!" He hissed, pointing at Saeyoung and me. "You're both traitors. One of you ruined my past and the other ruined my present."

"No..I would never-"

"Perhaps you went behind my back, Rosa?" His mint green eyes darkened as he tilted his head to the side. "Maybe you contacted this traitor behind my back, otherwise how would he know I was coming here, hm?"
