• fifteen minutes before yeonjun burns the kitchen
BEOMGYU PACED BACK AND FORTH IN THE LIVING ROOM, wondering what exactly he just did. He murdered two of his friends, people that he was once close to, two people he's known for years. Or at least that's what he thought. What he failed to notice before he left the room was the way Hueningkai's fingers twitched, his breathing growing steadily.
Hueningkai was alive.
He woke up, feeling the massive headache hit him. Hueningkai groaned as he opened his eyes, the pain of being hit in the skull straight with a baseball bat came in waves of throbbing pain and dizziness but he could endure it. He recalled what happened before and resentment filled his heart directed at Beomgyu.
How could he do such a thing to Taehyun and him?
Beomgyu was right outside the room Hueningkai was in, curses and heavy breathing escaping his lips. Hueningkai slowly sat up and touched his head, hoping the pain would alleviate. For sure, the wound was nasty. There was a bit too much blood there that he was surprised he actually survived.
With all his strength, he pushed himself off the ground, keeping the pain to himself as he cautiously walked over to the door. He presumed he was in another one of Soobin's room, not the one Taehyun was in. When the footsteps faded away, he opened the door and peered outside. Beomgyu was right there, leaning on the wall with his head hanging low.
Red filled Hueningkai's sight.
Rage overtook him and before he knew it, he charged.
"How could you!?" He yelled, taking Beomgyu by surprise.
He wrapped his fingers around Beomgyu's neck, choking him. "How does that feel, huh? Is it that easy for you to kill people? Taehyun was your friend!"
Beomgyu gasped for air, struggling against the tall boy's grip. It went on for a few more seconds but something popped inside Beomgyu's mind, and with both of his hands free, he grabbed Hueningkai's head, particularly where the wound was and squeezed tight, making his hold loosen on Beomgyu's neck due to the pain. He seized the opportunity and called for help.
"Yeonjun-hyung!!"

present
There was something wrong.
They smelled the scent of fire.
"You're calling for help? Does Yeonjun-hyung know that you killed someone, hm? How dare you!" Hueningkai screeched, pushing Beomgyu hard on the wall, emitting a groan of pain from the boy.
Just as he was about to choke Beomgyu once again, someone shoved him off of Beomgyu and his head hit the hard concrete wall, making him dizzy once again. Beomgyu collapsed down on the floor, coughing and gasping for air. As he looked up, he saw Yeonjun's face.
"Yeonjun-hyung...Taehyun...he—"
Smoke started filling the room and Yeonjun cursed, pinning Hueningkai to the wall harshly. "Beomgyu, we have to leave," he said.
Beomgyu looked up with his eyes widened. "What did you do?"
"We have to leave now." Yeonjun tightened his grip on Hueningkai's collar. "Get me something to tie Hueningkai with."
Hueningkai's eyes widened, struggling to break free from Yeonjun's strong grip. "No, no. You can't do this," he pleaded.
Beomgyu stood up, facing Hueningkai and Yeonjun. "Sorry, Huening," he mumbled.
"All you do is say sorry," Hueningkai spat bitterly.
"Beomgyu, go! We don't have much time."
Just before Beomgyu could turn around, he felt something sharp on his neck, making him freeze. So did Yeonjun.
"Let him go."
Hueningkai who was the only one facing the opposite of the two, saw the familiar face and gasped.
