tears begin to pool in sehun's eyes as he stares down at his poor, innocent friend's face. he feels overwhelmed, as if his lungs are about to explode right out of his chest.
"i'm so sorry" he whispers as he reaches his hand out to dust the soil off yixing's pale forehead but he freezes in his actions once he hears a gasp coming from behind him.
jerking his head around, his eyes meet junmyeon's, whom has his hands clasped across his mouth in terror. junmyeon's eyes bulge out of their sockets as the boy takes a quick glance at what's hiding behind sehun's back, his friend's dead body.
"s-sehun" his voice comes out croaked and unstable as he calls. quickly wiping his eyes with his dirty hands, sehun clambers to his feet with his weak and wobbly knees and positions himself in front of yixing's body so that he's not visible.
"junmyeon, i didn't know you were coming" he tries to sound normal but his shaky voice gives him away almost instantly. "wh-" he tries to speak but he's cut off.
"what did you do?" junmyeon asks, his eyes pleadingly gazing into sehun's. sehun opens his mouth to respond but he finds it difficult to speak, unable to find an answer because he, himself doesn't know what he's done. "answer me, please" junmyeon begs.
"n-nothing" sehun says just above a whisper.
"move, please" junmyeon orders politely as he takes a few steps towards sehun but the younger boy doesn't even budge. his body feels like it's been frozen in it's place. "move!" junmyeon says once again, in a louder voice as he harshly pushes sehun out of his way. as soon as his eyes land on yixing's face, he bursts out into vehement, anguished cries as he drops himself onto the soil, right next to his grave.
"oh my gosh" junmyeon's constant pleads to god are muffled by his shaky hands and choked up breaths. "what have you done?" he yells in between sobs, his lungs begging him for oxygen and his body shivering uncontrollably.
"junmyeon, i didn't do it" sehun tries to explain as he crouches down next to his now wreck of a friend, his hand going for junmyeon's back to give it a comforting rub but the boy yank his shoulder away before sehun can even touch it.
sehun feels a mix of frustration and despondency tangle up into a knot in his stomach as his tears resume to run down his face.
"this is your backyard, no one else could've killed yixing but you" junmyeon says in a furious tone, exaggerating the 'your' and 'you' as he stares at sehun with enraged eyes. "it was you all along, i should've known after baekhyun disappeared that night"
"b-but you've gotta listen to me, i really didn't do it" sehun tries to convince him but junmyeon isn't having any of it, he has evidence lying right before his eyes. he attempts to reach his hand over once again but junmyeon sharply dodges it this time too.
"don't fucking touch me, i'm calling the police" junmyeon growls, immediately pulls his phone out of his pocket. sehun's eyes widen with fright as he watches his friend unlock his phone with his trembling fingers. no, he can't turn me in.
before junmyeon even has the chance to dial 911, sehun snatches his phone right out of his hand and impetuously tosses it behind him. sehun watches his friend's expression twist in both horror and disbelief as he pulls him in for a hug, trapping him in between his brawny arms.
"let me go" junmyeon squirms underneath, struggling to break free from sehun's strong hold but his frail bodily twists and turns only remain as attempts against the taller boy's strength.
not willing to waste any more time before locking junmyeon's upper arms in between his biceps and placing his own hands on either side of the squirming boy's head.
"i'm sorry" sehun whispers into his ear before roughly twisting his head, the nauseating and stomach-churning sounds of cracking and snapping of bones filling the heavy, evening air. sehun takes a last glance at junmyeon's emotionless face with his blurry eyes before releasing his grip and letting his poor friend's body fall back onto the dirt lifelessly.
