[bxb] the forgotten promise | yeosang / ateez

• t h i r t y f o u r •

Seonghwa has been on the same place for hours, his legs hurt and he tried to struggle against the tight ropes that kept him in place, just to fail miserably every single attempt of his. The blackened ones kept on roaming around, talking to each other as some were preparing a table— the same table that Seonghwa have seen in his ancestor’s memories. The table where they placed their sacrifices to Monsieur.

He can’t help but feel worthless as he kept on struggling on the restraints, somehow hoping that his friends are in a safe place. He wished that Yeosang is protected by San and Wooyoung while him, the one that’s supposed to save his soulmate, is in a situation like this.

He’s supposed to be one of the most powerful especially with the sin of wrath marked upon his entire system. He’s supposed to be the one protecting Yeosang since he’s the brunette’s soulmate. But in this kind of situation, he’s the one that needs salvation.

He’s not afraid of Death. He have recalled all of his past selves’ death, he would even welcome his own death with open arms. But if there’s one thing that Park Seonghwa is afraid of, it’s definitely the thought of Yeosang dying. And there’s no way that he’ll witness Yeosang dying in front of him once again. He won’t let that happen again, he’ll save him this time.

If only his magical powers was able to be used right now, he could’ve been on his way to Yeosang’s whereabouts. He doesn’t even know why was his powers weren’t able to be used. It could’ve been Yunho which can cancel or block any kind of magical powers but at what cost? It also could’ve been the lunatic that can use alchemy but he’s quite sure that San is able to get rid of him.

He doesn’t even know if he should trust anyone, knowing that one of them can be a traitor and turn Yeosang over to the blackened ones. He treasures his friends. Really. But in a situation like this, he doesn’t even know if trust can lead them to safety.

They trusted Mingi to be able to handle the attackers while they’re escaping yet he died. They trusted Jongho to be able to take Julius down but he ended up dying. He couldn’t even trust someone to do some heroic shit because he’s afraid that they might die.

He wonders if Hongjoong is alright, he wondered if his bestfriend is safe. Seonghwa silently hopes that his bestfriend is on a safe place.

In all of the sudden, his inner thoughts was cut off when he heard the blackened ones’ growls as he felt a bit of sting and saw an arrow passes through, somehow cutting his skin. But he was surprised as the ropes that is restraining his hands were cut off and he was able to move his hands as he started to unbind himself from the ropes on his waist and ankles. He heard a familiar scream and saw the mint-haired male fighting off a bunch of blackened ones, making him worry about him.

“Yunho!” he screams, which is definitely a bad move as he attracted some blackened ones towards him.

“Seonghwa-hyung!” He heard Yunho screams as he kept on slashing them using the chainsaw.

“Wait. They’re going towards my direction!” Seonghwa screams as he bit his lips in frustration, knowing that he’s empty-handed and he wouldn’t be able to defeat all of them by using his bare fists.

“Don’t worry! I got you covered!” Yunho exclaims, “Leedo, help us!”

“Leedo?”

A strong gust of wind blew a bunch of blackened ones as Yunho was able to run towards his direction, smiling a bit at him. The moment that Seonghwa turns around, he can’t prevent the emotions that is swarming towards his system on the sight. The familiar man in clad black as it blows away the blackened ones using its power.
