~Chapter Twenty-five~

(25th October, 2018)

"You should just sit back and relax, sweetheart. Or else we'll make sure to chop him up even more." The boss whispered in my ear.

"D-Didn't I say n-not to touch h-her?!" Minho shouted, even though the shout wasn't that loud.

"Calm down, I'm not gonna fuck her..." The boss said as he rested an arm on the top of my head.

I watched with horrified eyes at how they just mercilessly cut other parts of Minho's body, blood leaking out from everywhere.

Soon enough, his face went pale and lifeless as his head dropped low.

But that didn't stop Taeyang from cutting him even more.

Tears were starting to flow down my cheeks as I started to remember all the good times I had with Minho. That's what people do after a loved one dies, right? 

"That's enough fun for one day, Taeyang. Better flee before this little girl calls the police. We wouldn't want to go back to jail now, would we?" Their boss said.

"Let's go."

I was shaken awake. Once I opened my eyes, I saw Seonghwa staring into my eyes, his full of worry.

"Y/N, you're crying." He said as he wiped my tears.

"Y-You still haven't slept yet?" I asked.

"I was, but then you were tossing and turning and saying 'Minho', 'Minho'."

"I'm sorry I woke you up,  Seongie."

"Nah, it's okay. But I'm sure you're not."

"I just had a nightmare. The problem with that nightmare was that it actually happened."

"It's about his death, isn't it?"

"Yeah. I haven't told you the full story, have I?"

"Wait, there's a full story??" He asked, his eyes widening.

"Ok, I'll tell you and the others together so that I won't have to say it twice..."

"You don't have to tell us if you don't want to."

"You guys have the right to know. I should've told you earlier." As soon as I said that, my eyes widened.

That's what he said to me when his parents were murdered...

"Y/N, come here." He said, patting his pillow.

Instinctively, I went up to him and snuggled in his chest, his scent relaxing me in way too many ways.
He wrapped his arms around me and gently stroked my hair.

My eyes jolted open at the sudden loud sound.

I looked outside to see that it was raining cats and dogs. There was also a really bad thunderstorm. The thunder and lightning were too much for me to handle. So, I covered my ears with one of my hands and snuggled closer to Seonghwa, trying to find some sort of comfort from him.

He did make me feel less scared.

My hand was getting weak because I was holding it high to cover my ears. I tried my best to keep it up so that I wouldn't wake Seongie for the second time tonight.

Unfortunately, that didn't happen. My hand fell and hit Seongie's head. I immediately started rubbing it.

"Y-Y/N?" He fluttered his eyes open.

"S-Sorry Seongie, I disturb you too much in your sleep. I-I'll go sleep on the cou-" I got interrupted by him covering my ears gently.

"You're staying here, with me. I can't let you sleep on the couch while there's a thunderstorm." He lifted his hand a little so that I could hear him.
