Obsession (markhyuck)

XII

Donghyuck sat in the corner of his cell. His knees were pushed up to his chest, his head down as he sat in silence.

He was tired, he was exhausted, but he couldn't sleep. He had been in the same cell for two weeks. Sleepless nights had been taking a toll on his health. Refusing to eat had caused his body to get thinner.

He refused to talk to anyone they sent in and spent most of his time sitting in the corner and thinking about his lost brothers.

He used to cry every night but that all stopped after the first week. Donghyuck didn't think that it was worth shedding anymore tears.

He was going to die, he knew it. His court date was awhile ago. He had the option of getting or having a lawyer, but because he refused to speak, the judge easily made the decision.

Since he didn't deny any of the accusations, the people didn't throw a fit when the judge made his call.

"Lee Donghyuck, you are here by sentenced to death for the murder of the members of the kpop group known as nct127"

Donghyuck stared at the floor in front of him with an emotionless expression. It was as if he was in a trance. The judge spoke but Donghyuck didn't hear a word. It was only until after the event that he knew what happened.

Needless to say he was surprised by the decision. But his shock was soon replaced with disbelief when he heard the guards speaking one day.

"Yeah, yeah I know. Haha... Did you hear about that maknae of that one group?"

"You mean the youngest member who killed the members of his group?"

"Not too much. What's up with that kid anyway, not enough attention?"
one of the guards chuckled.

"Haha no, no. Geez man, it's been going around the whole section. How did you not hear?"

"Alright then, tell me"

"So as you already know the group members died"

"Yeah, he killed them"

"Well not exactly..."

"Huh, what do you mean?"

"The men who went in to arrest him found evidence of what really happened. Turns out that the kid didn't do it, it was another member in the group that was obsessed with him"

"What?! You're kidding!"

"No, man I swear. And get this, the real murderer tortured the kid. He even kept some of the body parts of the other members as like I guess a thing to remember them by"

"Oh... the kid must be scared"

"Yeah..."

"Wait, so he's innocent?"

"Yep"

"So then why is he in here?"

"Well I heard that the kid fought back. He stabbed that freak multiple times. When they found him, he was holding that psychopath in his arms. The kid was even crying for him. After they took him away, they watched that sick murderer bleed out, didn't even bother to take him to the hospital"

"What? That's crazy.. Why would they..."

"Because the death of the other members already caused a big ruckus since they were popular not only here but in a lot of other places around the world"
