The Gifted (Txt x Itzy)

六十三

Yeonjun sprinted down the corridor, following the sound of Sejin's song. Eventually, Seri gave up and turned around. "Why bother following me?" Seri snapped in exhaustion, "Aren't you tired?"
"On the contrary," Yeonjun bit back, chest barely heaving.
Seri's shoulders sagged, "I can't let you have my sister. She'll die. And she might bring some people with her." 
Yeonjun felt his heart falter, "What?"
Seri gave a cruel smirk, "She'll blow up. She's filled with nuclear energy, she's a literal bomb. "
"Maybe...maybe we can fix her," Yeonjun suggested, approaching the duo slowly like how one would approach a terrified beast, "The island, where the gifteds are, there must be someone that can save her."
The girl shook her head tearfully, "No, no one can, we tried."
"You didn't even try!" Yeonjun shouted, louder and harsher than he meant to, "You are insisting that doing this is the best for her, but you're so fixated on yourself, you ignore the fact that if the cure really worked, you would have to keep draining someone else of their blood. You're heartless."
Seri's eyes flashed angrily, and she dropped Sejin's hand, letting her snakes uncurl and glare at Yeonjun, before she shot towards him, her snakes flying out to him.
What happened next was a blur.
It was as if time had stopped.
Yeonjun could dimly hear Chaeryeong shouting behind him, but everything seemed muted as he looked into Seri, who was frozen, unable to move anything except her eyes, and he could see that pulsating glow in her body. Her soul.
I could rip it, Yeonjun thought to himself, I could tear her apart.
The red glow started to squirm as if it was alive and being prodded, diffusing through her body, Seri's face turned an ashy grey as a tear rolled down her face. Her mouth contorted into a scream, but the piercing sound could not be heard. His gaze fell to the timid, terrified Sejin, unable to fight back the glow in his eyes. The startled girl's eyes clenched as pearly tears rolled down in slow-motion.
Yeonjun.
He could hear his sister's fragile, tearful voice.
Stop.
He was truly, truly going crazy.
Please stop.
Yeonjun wanted to give in, then a blinding pain enveloped his chest and Seri unfroze, falling to the ground, unmoving, Sejin collapsing behind her, body racking with sobs.
And Yeonjun raised a finger to the glass spike in his chest.
Chaereong let out a very small "I'm so sorry" as Yeonjun fell to the ground, blood soaking through his shirt, and he fell down a rabbit hole.
