Cloaked Heart | Yeonbin

Chapter Twenty-Nine

"Huening Kai and Beomgyu stay behind me," Yeonjun whispered, pushing both of them behind him and holding his arms out to protect them. 

"Hyung no. He has a knife! Don't do anything stupid." Beomgyu hissed, tugging on Yeonjun's arm. 

Sunwoo smirked, twirling the sharp object around in his hands. "You should listen to him. You wouldn't want this knife to be accidentally stabbed right through you, would you?"

Huening Kai's breath hitched in his throat as he nervously gulped, the thought of Sunwoo hurting them with the knife made the younger feel physically sick. If anything happened to Yeonjun or Beomgyu, he would hold it against himself for the rest of his life. He would never forgive himself. After all, he was the reason this was happening. 

The lift doors pinged open as Soobin, Taehyun and Jennie rushed out of the confined space and hurried over to the front door of their dorm. 

Taehyun held the both of them back, a frightened expression etched on his features. "For all we know, he could have a weapon so we have to be careful."

Jennie and Soobin shared a look before firmly nodding. 

"I'll try the door," Soobin said, resting his hand on the door handle before pulling it down. The door wouldn't budge.

"Shit he probably locked it from the inside," Jennie cursed, running a hand through her hair. 

"How are we supposed to get in?" Taehyun asked, nervously swallowing.

"Beomgyu call the-"

Yeonjun was interrupted by the sound of the door trying to be opened. In his mind, he immediately knew that it was Soobin and Taehyun. Sunwoo must have locked it from the inside whilst they were distracted. 

"Don't move!" Sunwoo yelled, directing the knife at the three of them.

Neither of them moved a muscle or made a sound—only holding onto each other for dear life, afraid of what was going to happen next. 

"I have an idea," Jennie piped up, pushing Soobin back so she was closest to the door. She turned to face the confused pair and pressed her finger to her lips to signal them to keep quiet before whirling back around to the door. "Sunwoo! It's me Jennie!"

"I'm scared hyung," Taehyun faintly whispered to Soobin who shared the same look of fright.

Soobin intertwined his fingers with Taehyun, their hands laced together. "Me too."

"Sunwoo, it's me Jennie!"

The dorm was quiet as only heavy breathing resonated throughout the living room. Sunwoo hesitated, unsure of whether or not to answer. "Jennie? Are you alone? I can't let you in if you're not alone?"

"Yes, Sunwoo, I'm alone. Just let me in. Please," Jennie pleaded, her tone desperate.

Sunwoo's eyes landed on Beomgyu, who flinched at his intense and sinister gaze. "I'm trusting you to open the door and come back or else," he motioned chin towards the knife he was holding, "I'll stab Yeonjun."

Beomgyu obediently nodded before slowly walking over to the front door. His hand shakily rested on the door handle before he unlocked it and opened it for Jennie to come in.

But it wasn't just Jennie that came in. It was Soobin and Taehyun who quickly hurried in behind her.

Sunwoo's face dropped and his expression darkened. "You fucking lied. You said you were alone!"
