Questions (Yeosang x Reader)

7

"(Y/n)! What's going on?!"

"I'm sorry."

...

Yeosang sat at the dining table. His food was cold and uneaten.

"Yeosan-"

He hit the table angrily and the boys were taken back by his sudden attitude.

"Kang Yeosang!"

"What?!"

He was angry. Furious. The one thing that brought him peace was gone. She was gone.

...

"These people, do you remember them?"

Pictures of numerous victims were sprawled onto the table.

"Did you kill them?"

(Y/n) nodded numbly. She killed them. She killed them all.

"Yes, I killed them."

"Why?"

(Y/n) stared blankly at them.

"Don't ask questions you don't want answers to."

...

The trial was the last time he saw her.

...

"I hereby sentence you to 7 years in jail with possible parole for your remorseful statement. Bail is set for 5 million won."

Yeosang looked to (Y/n), but all he saw was guilt. Guilt and agony. Her darkness had consumed her and now she was paying for her actions.

...

"She's gone, you can't do anything about it. You heard the judge, 7 years."

"You act like 7 years is a small amount of time."

Hongjoong shook his head in disagreement.

"Why do you still defend her? We were right, weren't we? She's a serial killer Yeosang."

"No. She was more than that. She was above her title the 'Dawn Murderer'. She genuinely loves that store and her customers. She genuinely loves me."

"She's sic-"

"She's healing. You don't understand, hyung. She's healing. She isn't sick, the world is."

Hongjoong shook his head in disappointment.

"No, Yeosang, you're the one who's sick. Can't you see? The voices, the ones you say are in your head, they aren't real."

Yeosang shook his head and slammed a fist onto the table.

"No. These voices, they're real. They're real, and they torment me every night. Every single day. They're real."

"They're in your head, don't you get it? Don't you understand?"

"I know they're in my head! But they aren't just mindless whispers! I-i can't just explain and describe it."

"You're sick, Yeosang. That's why you fell in love with her."

The table was silent. Yeosang's bitterness hung in the air even after he stormed into his room. Seonghwa had never seen Hongjoong and Yeosang so angry at eachother. No one had. Out of all of them, Hongjoong and Yeosang were the least likely to have a serious argument.

"Hongjoong. Maybe, just maybe, we took it too far this time."

Hongjoong sighed and stood up.

"I'll be in my room if any of you need me."
