《Antidote²》

Changbin and Dino had managed to track down Han's location. "I can't believe yall actually chipped each other." Dino whisper shouted to Changbin.

"Well, it makes moments like this easier, doesn't it." Changbin explained as they rounded the corner into a dimly lit room.

The 2 froze at the sight in front of them. It was Han, sitting in a chair in the middle of the room. Although it was hard to see if it truly was him upon first glance.

He hardly looked like himself. His hair was combed back in a different style, his eyes looked like they've been smeared with black eyeshadow.

His posture leaned forward like a rag doll, though his hands were tied behind him with duct tape.

And out of the shadowed corners of the room, out stepped Hyunjin, standing next to Han like a shy artist presenting his art painting.

"Do you like it?" Hyunjin asked, lifting Han's head by his hair. That's when they also noticed Hyunjin had taped Han's mouth closed.

"From the artists' dark period." Hyunjin joked. "Arguably their best."

"I'm going to kill you for this!" Changbin said, grabbing his gun and shooting at Hyunjin.

"Get in line bitch!" Hyunjin yelled dodging the bullet and making a run for the side exit, not knowing the others were all outside, surrounding him.

"Give it up blondie, you're surrounded." The8 said.

"GUARDS!" Hyunjin tried to shout. But no one came to help.

"Yeah, you're goons and guards are definitely all dead. You're alone, so just give up." Jeonghan said.

"Am I? Am I really alone?" Hyunjin said before grabbing Dino, a sharp knife held against his neck.

"One more move from anyone and you can kiss your precious member goodbye!" Hyunjin shouted.

All the other members froze. They thought they'd have Hyunjin killed by this point, so no one really accounted for having another member held at knife point.

"So I suggest letting me just walk out of here, and you can have this brat back." Hyunjin said, pressing the knife harder against Dino's neck, already breaking the skin.

"Okay." Seungcheol said. "Just give us Venom back." Seungcheol held his hand out.

However, right at Hyunjin was about to let Dino go. The blonde haired male collapsed to the floor, the knife dropping with him.

Dino let out a long breath of relief as he collapsed to his knees next to a very unconscious Hyunjin.

"Holy shit Venom, are you okay!" Changbin was immediately at his boyfriend's side, checking the cut on his neck.

"I'm okay." Dino said, trying to catch his breath. That's when he noticed the dart in Hyunjin's shoulder. It was a deadly one, so Hyunjin was definitely dead.

It was one of his own personal darts, but all his members were right in front of him the whole time. So, who shot Hyunjin?
