Hell's Academy | Hyunho

Beauty and Brutality

"Uh..guys?" I said to have their attention. "Yes Min, what's wrong?" asked Felix. "I'm gonna have to take my leave now. Thank you so much for having me" I said with a smile. "Of course Minho, you're always welcome here!" Han said smiling.

I left to meet Wooyoung, to say I was concerned would be an understatement. He sounded so scared, I've never heard him like that which means it's really serious. After I got out of the dorm building, I immediately ran towards the school building specifically towards the garden he told me to meet in. It was already dark outside, which made me realize, which made me realize I spent quite a lot of time with the princes.

I was now standing in front of the garden which was eerily silent. I entered the garden expecting to find Wooyoung but he's nowhere in sight so I go deeper in the garden, where only the princes are allowed. I froze at the sight. No, no this can't be happening. I rush forward, gasping. The garden, once alive with the vibrant colors of nature, now mirrored a somber canvas. Wooyoung's lifeless form sprawled on the lush grass, surrounded by petals stained with crimson, an abrupt collision of beauty and brutality. The air, once fragrant, now held a sinister edge. Twisted branches and trampled flowers bore witness to the violent disruption of nature's harmony. His empty lifeless gaze stared up through the branches, the gentle breeze, now carrying a sense of unease, rustled the leaves overhead as if nature itself mourned the intrusion of violence.

Emotions surged - disbelief, anguish, and a profound sense of loss. The air seemed heavy with sorrow as I knelt beside him, a gasp caught in my throat, and tears blurred the once beautiful scene as the weight of grief crashed over me like a relentless storm. Tears flowed unchecked, a torrent of grief released in the silent garden. Each sob echoed the pain of loss, mingling with the gentle rustle of leaves.

"Wo-Wooyoung-ahh, please, please get up!" I said with tears in my eyes. I was desperate and in denial, clinging to the last bit of hope. I gently shook him "Wooyoung-ahh come on, wake up! P-Please, stop pl-playing with m-me" my voice choked with emotion. My hand trembled as I continued to shake him. The weight of reality was slowly sinking in.

The anguished cries reverberated through the stillness, a desperate plea to rewind time and erase the cruel reality. Each tear that fell onto the petals felt like a drop of liquid agony, an offering to the life extinguished. In the garden's hush, the sound of sorrow painted a poignant portrait of grief, a raw expression of the irrevocable void left behind. The world, once vibrant, now wrapped itself in a shroud of sorrow, and the tears continued to fall in a mournful rhythm. I cradled his face, whispering pleas between sobs, unable to accept the harsh truth of the scene.

I have to call San. I pulled out my phone, with trembling hands, still in shock. "H-Hey San" I said with a trembling voice "Yes Minho, what's wrong?" Asked San, concern evident in his voice "i-its Wo-Wooyoung. Please c-come to the g-garden b-behind the school b-building."

The garden remained a silent witness as I anxiously waited for San, tears refusing to stop. I heard footsteps approaching and see San enter the garden. I run to him while tears running down my face. "Minho what's wrong? Why are you crying and where's Woo?" With no words left in me I point towards the restricted area of the garden. He ran towards it and his steps begin to falter as he takes in the scene, disbelief etched in on his face

"No...no, this can't be real" San's voice breaking. He races to Wooyoung's fallen form, his knees hitting the ground. A gut wrenching cry escapes him as he cradles his boyfriend's lifeless figure, the garden now a chilling backdrop to a devastating reality.

By now I called Felix to let him know what happened. It didn't take long for him to arrive. Han, Changbin, Seungmin and Jeongin came too.
"Minho, how did this happen? Do you know who did it?" Felix asked with utter disbelief in his eyes. "No Felix, he told me to meet him here..he sounded scared" I said trying to calm myself down "WHICH ONE OF YOU DID IT HUH?" San asked yelling "What do you mean San? Why would any of us do it?" Jeongin asked

San took a deep breath as if trying to calm himself down before answering "Are you plain stupid or what? He is in YOUR area of the garden. Somewhere only you royals are allowed, it's restricted to us or did you forget?!" "San they have nothing to do with it" I said "How do you know Minho? Are you seriously taking their side over your friend's?" He asked with tears in his eyes. "No San listen, they were with me the whole time. When Wooyoung called I was with them in their dorm" I said.

It can't be them since I was with them and it can't be Yeji cause when I left the dorm building I saw her with Ryujin. The only ones who weren't there were Christopher and....Lucifer.
