What If You Need Me (Sequel Yesterday's Devil)

Chapter 18

Kyungsoo

"This is taking too long," I told Sehun who nodded in understanding. "I need to go."

"You shouldn't go alone," Xiumin suddenly spoke. I hadn't noticed he had been listening.
Jongdae was in the kitchen, making something to eat, so we could talk freely.
Xiumin knew what was going on.

"But I need you to protect Sehun and Jongdae," I explained. "They need you more."

"Fine, but I warned you." He spoke while pointing a finger at me. "Never go alone. It's dangerous."

I shook my head, "I don't really care to be honest. As long as Jongin is safe."

"You know that when you die you are not really helping Jongin?" Xiumin asked with a frown. "Don't be reckless."

"I'll try." I stood up from the couch and made my way to the hall.

"You can't drive. How are you going to get there?" Sehun asked as he followed me.

"It's actually not that far away from here. I can walk." I took my leather jacket and tucked my arms in the sleeves. "Call me if something's wrong."

They both nodded and as I was about to leave, my ringtone went off. I took it out of my pocket and saw it was Chanyeol's number. I pressed the green phone, answering the call, and held it against my ear. "Chanyeol?"

"You asshole!" He immediately snapped into the phone. "This is all your fault!"

I opened my mouth to say something, but didn't know what would make him calm down.
The other end went silent before Dongsun's voice spoke, "Kyungsoo, we are in the hospital."

"Why?" I asked as worry started to take over my mind. "What happened?"
Sehun and Xiumin were both looking at me with curious eyes, but I shook my head.

"Someone came into the house and injured Baekhyun. He's gonna be okay, don't worry." Dongsun explained.

I breathed out in relief. "I'm going now. Shall I send them to the hospital?"

"Maybe that's a good idea," he agreed. "They're all safe here."

I nodded before ending the call, Chanyeol's words still echoing through my mind. He was right, this was all my fault and there was nothing that I could do about it now.

The small amount of light that came from the lamppost was enough to bring the barn in a ghost like lighting.
I was standing motionless, staring at the building that was at the end of the long driveway.
I had been standing there for some minutes, debating on what to do.
There was a good chance this was just a trap and I wouldn't survive this, but all of that didn't matter. If I died tonight I am sure Xiumin would find Jongin. Or maybe everything would be over once I was dead.
After all, this was about me.

I took a deep breath before pushing the broken gate open. I had to push hard since it was hanging low and therefore against the ground. I took my gun in my hand and hid it under my jacket, slowly walking further.
The memories that crashed into my mind made me shiver.
This place was full of horrible things.
I froze as images started flashing through my head.

Jongin's father lying in a pool of his own blood while I was holding a pipe that was covered in red. I was breathing heavily and wiped some blood from my face with the sleeve of my jacket.

I shook my head, trying to get rid of the memory and walked further.
As I came closer I noticed a figure leaning against the small wooden shed. He was smoking a cigarette and thick smoke came out of his mouth every time he took it out.
I tightened my grip on the gun while walking over to him.

The guy had one hand tucked in the pocket of his jacket and he grinned as he eyed me. "Hello Kyungsoo. I'm glad I can finally see you in person."

"Where is he?" I asked, ignoring what he had said. "Don't play games with me."

He chuckled before taking a drag from the cigarette. "Don't forget you are playing in my game. Not yours."

"Your ego will be the death of you someday," I spoke as I looked him straight in the eye.

"Says the one with the biggest ego I've ever seen." He tilted his head a bit and smirked. "I do understand why Jongin fell for you tho. A killer with the face of an angel."

"I may have a big ego, but it's not what's gonna bring me down. It will always be love that's gonna kill me one day." I spoke. "Now where is Jongin?"

"Beautiful speech," he replied sarcastically and clapped in his hands. "But to be honest, it makes me want to puke."

I was getting impatient and I took out my gun, aiming it at his face. "If you don't tell me where he is, I'm gonna blow your head off."

"You never had trouble with killing people did you?" He took another drag and blew out the smoke.

"Says you. You tried to kill my friends. One of them is now in the hospital so you better give me what I want." I took of the safety and moved a bit closer. "Where is he?"

"Oh, I'm gonna tell you. Don't worry." He smirked at me before continuing. "I know everything about you Kyungsoo."

I furrowed my eyebrows, "what do you mean?"

"I know your worst nightmares and I'm gonna make one come true right now."
Before I could reply something hard hit my head, making me fall on the ground. I looked up and saw a man standing there with a lead pipe in his hands.
Something warm slid down the side of my head and I lifted my hand to touch it, holding my finger in front of my face I realized I was bleeding.

"Step one," he counted before taking the cigarette out of his mouth, kneeling down next to me. "Now listen losely." He grabbed my head with his hand and forced me to look up at him. "Jongin's in there." He pointed at the wooden shed and smirked. "But there's one problem."
he stood up again and that's when I noticed that in front of the building were small puddles and it wasn't water. It was even dripping down from the roof.

My eyes widened as I realized what he was gonna do.
He threw his burning cigarette to the shed. It landed in one of the puddles and it immediately started burning. It crawled further over the wood and soon the whole building was burning.

"Looks familiar?" Jungsu's face lit up in the light of the flames.

"No!" I screamed while the tears were starting to stream down my face. "You're a monster!"

He kneeled down next to me with a grin, "you forgot you were the monster here first."
