ASSASSIN | SEUNGJIN ✔

TWENTY ONE - WHY ME?

[ CHANGBIN POV ]

The only thing going on inside my mind was, why me?

Why was I supposed to kill Felix and Jisung? Why am I punished this way?

" Binnie, are you really gonna kill us when Seungmin dies? " Felix asked me softly. He did not ask me sweetly, he asked me with fear in his voice. He looked at me with fear.

The old Felix looked at me with love, now he's scared of me and I don't know what to do about it.

Should I kill him or should I not?

How was I supposed to answer Felix's question? I can't tell him yes cause he'll become devastated and I can't tell him no cause Minho hyung is in the room and he'll definitely go and tell Hyunjin about it.

Before I could answer, to my surprise, Minho hyung spoke up.

" No, he's not going to kill you both so don't worry. We'll find a way to get you both out of this problem " he said and looked towards me for encouragement.

Finally, someone I can trust.

" Uh, yes. Yes, I'm not going to kill you. We'll find a way to solve this " I replied.

" But how? You're gonna have to kill us, one way or another. You can't just help us escape, they'll find out eventually and they might kill you too " Jisung added.

" Don't worry squirrel head, Changbin and I will take care of it. I'll keep you safe " Minho said. " No one's gonna die, no one ".

Felix didn't look satisfied with our answers so I walked over to him and knelt down in front of him.

I cupped his face with my hands and looked into his eyes as he looked into mine.

" I'll be here for you freckles, there's no need to worry " I reassured him. " I won't let you get hurt ".

" Really binnie? You mean it? " he asked me with a sad pout.

" Yes freckles, I mean it " I answered.

I wanted to kiss him badly, I wanted to let him know that I'll be there for him, I wanted to tell him that I loved him.

So, I went for it.

I kissed him, with all my heart, with all my emotions pouring out into it. He gave in immediately and kissed me back with the same amount of enthusiasm.

Our kiss didn't last long since the feeling of two people watching us was very uncomfortable. We broke apart and looked at each other.

" Listen freckles, you're not gonna die. I'm there for you " I told him. " I .... love you freckles " I finally said.

He smiled at me and replied " I love you too Binnie ".

" Don't worry, they've been like this for a long time now. No need to get shocked " Jisung said to, and I'm assuming, Minho.

" Woah, Changbin. Take it easy there! Didn't know you fell for the freckled one " Minho asked him.

" Well, unlike you. I've become accustomed to my feelings hyung, so yes, I fell for the freckled one. My freckled one. " I replied.

[ HYUNJIN POV ]

After speaking to Changbin, I went to the room Seungmin was kept in.

He was soundly sleeping, against the pillar he was tied in.

He mouth was slightly agape and he was snoring softly. His hands tightly clenched his knees and he was resting his face on them.

I would've completely fallen for him if not for the mission to kill him. He looked extremely cute when he was sleeping.

I pulled up a chair quietly and sat watching him sleep. It wasn't tiring at all.

People would call me creepy but I didn't care. I was gonna kill the boy I'm staring at within this week. The boy I'm almost in love with.

I sat there, staring at him, for I don't know how long. I don't know why but I just wanted to watch him forever. That makes me sound like a creep, I know.

As I kept watching him, he slowly fluttered open his eyes and looked at me with sleepy face.

" How long have you been staring at me? " he asked with a frown on his face.

" Not long " I lied.

" Why are you here? Finally ready to kill me? " he questioned.

" No, I just wanted to check on you "  I answered.

" Well, I'm doing well, thank you. You may go now " he replied.

" I'm not going anywhere. I need to ask you some questions " I said to him.

" What questions? "

" Questions about your father. What is has against us? What is he planning to do? " I asked him.

" Well, bad for you, I have no idea about anything my father works on. I don't get involved with any of his mafia shit " Seungmin replied.

" Uh huh, " I said. " You know nothing? ".

" Nothing. I just know he hates your dad a lot. Just like how you hate me " he said.

" I don't hate you " I uttered.

" You do act like it " he retorted.

" Do you hate me? " I asked him.

" Well, let's see. You kidnapped both my best friends, kidnapped me too. You're gonna kill me within this week and you'll probably kill my friends too. I definitely do not hate you " he said with a huge amount of sarcasm.

" Do you think I'm doing this at my own will? Do you think I want to hurt you or any of your friends? Do you think I even wanted to become an Assassin? I just became one to make my father happy, to make him feel proud of me " I blurted out. I never meant to say all this to a prisoner but something about him made me want to open up everything to him.

And after I said all these things, his face immediately softened. " Hyunjin, I know and I don't blame you. I just can't help the fact that it was you who had to kill me. Out of the seven billion people in the world, it had to be you, the first person I truly fell in love with " Seungmin said with tears forming in his eyes. I wanted to go to him and wipe away his tears but I didn't.

Instead, I just continued to speak. " Seungmin, you know that we can never work out right? I'm gonna have to kill you one way or another " I said to him.

" I know Hyunjin, that's why I'm trying to hate you as much as possible. I don't want to die while still being in love with you " he replied.

" I'm so sorry Seungmin. I really am " I said, got up from the chair and went out of the room. I really couldn't take it anymore.
