What If You Need Me (Sequel Yesterday's Devil)

Chapter 16

Kyungsoo

"What did you get us into?" Sehun asked while shaking his head. "I'm not even surprised there are two dead bodies in my apartment right now."

I eyed Sehun and wiped some more blood away from his neck. He had cleaned his face the best he could before driving, but there was still some left. "I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to get you guys into it."

"The worst thing is that I still like you." He stopped for a red light and tapped his fingers impatiently against the steering wheel. "You are still some kind of friend."

"Thanks?" I bit my lip while nervously looking around. Every second we were standing still was a second more for Jongdae to be in danger. "Is it far?"

"No, we're almost there." He answered and started driving again. His lip was still busted and a small trace of blood was seeping down. I looked around in the car for something I could use and got out a tissue, wiping the blood away. The situation didn't seem to bother him or maybe it just felt unreal for him.
He turned a corner and parked at the side of a quiet street.

"He lives there," Sehun said while pointing at a house at the other side of the road. "Wanna just barge in or knock?"

"Let's go in through the back. Is that possible?" I asked while climbing out of the car. Sehun did the same and nodded, "yeah we can."

We crossed the street and Sehun leaded me to the side of the house where we could follow a path to the backyard. I hid the gun I was holding beneath my jacket and gestured Sehun to wait.
I walked slowly towards the sliding door and peeked inside. There was nothing. "Are you sure he's home?" I asked as I faced Sehun, who shrugged.

I slid the door open and heard voices coming from the kitchen. I quickly walked through the living room as the voices became louder. They were just talking, not arguing or scared.
I opened the door and almost choked on my own saliva. "Xiumin?!" I exclaimed surprised.

"Hello Soo, good to see you." Xiumin greeted me with a wide smile.

"What are you doing here Xiu?" Sehun asked and moved forward to hug the smaller guy who was seated at the kitchen table.

"Just visiting some acquaintances, you were next Sehunnie." Xiumin explained.

I stared at them in confusion. While they didn't know everything of me I realized I didn't know much of them either. "You guys were all friends."

Jongdae nodded, "what are you doing here anyway? Creeping through my back door."

"Surprise!" Sehun yelled and elbowed me. "Right Kyungsoo?"

"Yes, it was a surprise." I agreed while putting the gun away without anyone seeing it.

I was sitting on the couch, looking at the raindrops that were sliding down the glass. The couch was pushed against the sliding door so I could touch it with my finger, tracing the wet lines. The other's were all chatting happily about funny things that happened in the past and I felt left out.
It hurt even more because I knew that if Jongin was here he would have talked with them.

I didn't belong here. All I did was bringing them in danger.
I made a vow to myself that when I had found Jongin and brought him to safety I would leave them. Let them live in peace without me.

I pressed my forehead against the glass and it felt like the raindrops were my own tears. I had called Chanyeol a few minutes ago to check if anything was alright and it was.
It made me wonder if that guy from the phone call had lied to me to make me stay here with my 'friends' instead of going to the barn.

I decided that if it took too long I would ask Dongsun to come here too with Chanyeol and Baekhyun so they were all together. I was still wondering if Xiumin really was here to help us. I didn't trust him. After what happened who could blame me?

I noticed Sehun sitting down next to me so I turned my face fully towards him.
He smiled at me, but it soon faded. "Don't worry too much."

"How?" I shook my head and bit my lip, turning away. "It's not going to be alright. There are people going to get hurt and you know it. It's all my fault. Once this whole thing is over and I know Jongin is safe again, I'll leave."

"Leave?" Sehun asked with his eyebrows furrowed.

I nodded, "that's the best."

"We'll miss you," he spoke softly.

"Who?" I faced him again. "Only you."

"Jongin too, Jongdae won't admit it but he will. Chanyeol and Baekhyun."

"No, Jongin hates me." I protested.

"He doesn't. I know him since he was young and he still loves you." He touched my arm and looked in my eyes. "He still loves you Kyungsoo. He never stopped."

"But... His dad."

"He hated him," Sehun sighed and looked at the two guys sitting on the couch, laughing together and not paying attention to us.

"I'm still a killer. I killed someone from Kris and those two guys that chased us." I counted. "Plus those guys in your apartment."

"Don't you know Kyungsoo?" He focused on me again. "Love is blind."
