Trails Of Time (changlix)

18. Something went really wrong

"How can I breathe now !? Changbin is alone with the madman! What if something happens to him !?" Felix literally roared.

The cashier, whose name was apparently Yujin sighed, placing a hand on Felix's shoulder. "But what will it profit if you scream until your voice is gone?" She asked.

"I do not care! I will cry until I can hug him!" Felix yelled, pushing Yujin's hand away.

"Hey!" Hyujin said sternly. "Man up! You're like a stubborn four-year-old who doesn't get candy from his parents! There is nothing you can do about it, so try to pray to God."

Felix sank deeper in the seat, crossing his arms and turning his gaze to the floor.

Yujin sighed again. "Okay sorry... I just feel like I had to say that for you to get back into reality... crying doesn't do anything."

Felix turned to look at her, frowning. "You don't understand how this feels. You don't know what's going on inside me..."

"Well, how about you tell me what's going on inside you right now?" Yujin asked, smirking slightly.

Felix opened his mouth, closed it and opened it again. "Um... well... I feel like a part of me has been taken away. Just as if someone had taken half my heart from me... It's so empty. I have nothing... I hurt... I'm scared..."

"Just keep going. I think it helps." Yujin smiled.

"Changbin is so... so kind-hearted. He doesn't deserve this."

He does not deserve this pain.

The car was moving. Jongsoo drove fast. Changbin could see the blue and red lights of the police through the rearview mirror of the car. It was already dark outside, so the lights of the cars coming from behind were shining brightly. 

Jongsoo held the gun firmly in his hand, pointing back to where Changbin was sitting. He accelerated, turning on a bridge.

Tell me, how do I get out of this situation?

Well it's a little more complicated now. Now you're in a moving car and your hands are tied.

I know it. That's why I asked you.

I don't know.

"I wouldn't like to do this, but you didn't leave me any options."

Changbin startled at Jongsoo 's voice, shifting in his seat. 

"To be honest, I liked you the most out of your group... You were, at least, somehow bearable." He said, glancing back through the mirror. "But it annoys me that you took everything away from me... you took my dream from me!"

Changbin was frozen, trying to see where his captor was about to turn. "Um... can you explain it to me?" He asked carefully.

"What?" Jongsoo quickly looked back, frowning. "You fucking want me to explain it?"

Changbin nodded.

"What do you want to know about it? My pain? My plans? In all its simplicity, I was so angry with you that I wanted to take revenge. I ended up with Felix because he is clearly the weakest and frankly I hate him the most. " He explained.

"My intention was to kill every single one of you, but it didn't work out, so here we are. I'm gonna kill you."

Jongsoo moved his gaze forward, focusing on driving. "I hate you. I hate all of you." He said.

"Why? I don't understand it." Changbin blurted out. "Why do you hate us? What have we done to you? We didn't choose ourselves to be on the show. It was the judges who chose us. The company!"

He glared at him, tapping his finger on the steering wheel. "You better shut up now. You're making me pissed off."

"You know what? I don't care anymore! If you're going to kill me, I might as well annoy the fuck out of you first!" Changbin screamed, wiggling closer to him.

Jongsoo pressed the gas and looked back nervously. "This is the last warning. Shut the fuck up now."

Changbin glared at him. He felt pain in his leg, which scared him a bit. Probably the adrenaline had covered the pain before, but now it started to be unbearable. Changbin looked at his foot, noticing its bluish color. It honestly scared him, since he had heard about skin turning blue when it had to be amputated.

"J-jongsoo?"

"Don't use my name!" Jongsoo screamed suddenly, making the car swirl on the road. "I already told you to be quiet! Why do you make this so difficult!"

What does he mean? Making it difficult?

Maybe he's started to get attached to you.

How could that even be possible, if the reason why I'm here is that he wants to kill me?

Hey man, I'm just saying things. I never said it was necessarily true. But it can be.

What if it's not? Then I have no hope.

It might be... but what do you have to lose?

Nothing... you're right, nothing...

Suddenly, Jongsoo made a tight turn, almost sliding off the road. He clenched his teeth together, squeezing the steering wheel tightly. Soon the car was in control again, but the man behind the wheel was nervous and on the edge, but so was the man in the back seat.

What's he up to? We're about to crash!

He doesn't know what he's doing. He's trying to figure out a route, through which he can escape.

Should I... confuse him even more?

Maybe, but be careful.

Changbin looked at Jongsoo carefully. He pulled himself together and looked straight ahead.

"Do you even know where you are going?" Changbin asked, keeping his voice calm and low. 

Jongsoo looked at him murderously. "Didn't I tell you to be quiet? Don't say a word anymore."

"Want to know which direction is the fastest to get out of town?" Changbin said mysteriously. 

Jongsoo just sighed, clearly over this shit. "Okay, I'll give you a chance."

Changbin nodded. "You should turn right from the next intersection."

Jongsoo looked ahead, steering to see the right turn. "That one?"

"Yes."

Jongsoo turned the car way too fast, making it glide along the road.  He accelerated when he noticed the road was straight.

"Where do we go now?" Jongsoo asked, huffing.

"Um... I think it's left now. That road should lead us to the highway." Changbin answered, sounding a bit unsure.

"Are you shitting me!? You don't know!? Fucking shit!!!" Jongsoo cussed as he made the turn. 

"No, no, no... That's not true! I do know the way! It's just... I feel panicked! I can't remember it right now!" Changbin yelled. "But I promise, that I know it!"

"Fuck off! I am done with this!" Jongsoo yelled back.

Suddenly a strange noise came from the car, making Jongsoo look out of the window to see if he hit something. 

"What the fuck was that!?" He asked.

"I- I don't know! Maybe the engine broke..." Changbin muttered.

Jongsoo looked ahead again, but something went wrong. 

Something went really wrong.
