Shadows of desire : SVT✅

(36) Incheon

Jeonghan shot him in both eyes, his  expression cold and detached. As Hoshi approached the car, he saw Mingyu trying to stop the blood from a small but deep cut yuri had. Hoshi retrieved a can from the boot of the car, but before he could close it, he heard a pained voice—which created a fire inside him. It was yuri whose throat was bleeding.

He walked over to Jeonghan, who was contemplating where to strike next. Hoshi addressed the almost-dead man with a twisted grin, "You know, my heart burns with desire when I see her. And guess what will be burning now… you." He laughed maniacally. Jeonghan smirked and replied, "I’ll light him up, Hoshi yahhh."

Vernon, while assisting Wonwoo, cast a scornful glance at the scene and muttered, "Maniacs."

Hoshi threw the canister of burning oil onto the guy, and Jeonghan pulled out a lighter, tossing it onto him as well. Flames erupted, consuming the man in a blaze.

The two men walked back to the car. Thanking god that yuri didn't saw. Jeonghan took the driver’s seat, while Yuri sat in the passenger seat, her face etched with worry. Wonwoo lay on the back seat, injured. Mingyu took Wonwoo’s bike, and Hoshi and Vernon retrieved their own. The rest of the group was on their way and would meet up with them later.

Yuri kept glancing anxiously at Wonwoo, her concern evident. “He’ll be fine, right?” she asked.

Jeonghan responded with a noncommittal hum, focusing on the road ahead.

As they reached the mansion, the others were waiting in the living room, all tense and anxious. When the car pulled up, Wonwoo was immediately taken to the medical unit room by Joshua, The8, and Seungkwan. The remaining members were left sitting or standing outside the medical room, their worry palpable.

Yuri was crying, her sobs echoing in the hallway. Despite the others urging her to go to her bloody wound treated, she refused to leave. She was scared for Wonwoo, who had lost a lot of blood. Her own throat cut was sloghtly deep and it could've hurted her more, and her crying only made the blood flow more.

Jeonghan gently approached Yuri, trying to soothe her. "Yuri, please, you need to take care of yourself too."

"No," she said, shaking her head. "I can't leave him."

Mingyu, standing nearby, clenched his fists, anger and frustration evident in his eyes. He hated seeing Yuri in pain, and the sight of her blood only intensified his feelings. "He'll be okay, Yuri," Mingyu said softly, though his voice trembled with emotion.

DK placed a hand on Yuri's shoulder. "You need to sit down, at least. You're still bleeding."

DK, Jeonghan, Hoshi, Mingyu, and Dino surrounded her, trying to calm her down. Seeing her blood made them seethe with anger and frustration. They hated seeing her hurt; it wounded their pride and ego for not being able to protect her.

Yuri's thoughts were consumed with worry about Wonwoo's condition, which only fueled their frustration. Some of them, particularly Mingyu and Dino, even found themselves wishing they were the ones hurt, so she would be crying for them instead.

Fed up with their insistence, Yuri screamed, "Have you guys gone mad? He's in there, bleeding and hurt, and you want me to go back to my room and sleep? You guys shouldn't be worried about me but him! He's your teammate. You should be focusing on him, not me!"

Some of them replied, trying to reassure her. "It's okay, he'll be fine. He's handled more dangerous situations before," Hoshi said.

But others, had a different thought running through their minds: they didn't care about anything else at that moment but her.
