Kingdom: Legendary War (spostato)

Capitolo 48: Perché?

[hyunjin's POV]

pov

You wander off into the alley while he's on the phone

pov

Scoping the area in search for traces, but found nothing

pov

You subconsciously found your way out

pov

it led you to a street

[clamour]

??

Oi, get out of the way!

*honk* *honk*

pov

where humans crowd

pov

in a bustling city

Hyunjin

y/n..

Hyunjin

where are you?

pov

You walk back to the alley with your shoulders slouching

pov

You look up to find him still there

Man

Ah, I've been looking for you

Man

I've already called the cops, they'll be here in-

Hyunjin

I..

Hyunjin

I need to head back to the hotel..

Man

But the cops-

Hyunjin

Please?

pov

You cut him off without an explanation

pov

It's not like he knew where you were coming from, it's not like he'd help you either..

pov

especially once he finds out who you truly are

pov

There's only one person who could understand, only she can help

pov

despite being one of another kind, she still views you as a person

pov

and now..

she's gone.

pov

and there's nothing you can do about it

" nothing matters anymore.. not my safety, "

" not the police, not the lab.. "

" All I wanted was freedom.. is that too much to ask? "

Hyunjin

I'm just tired

Man

[sigh] okay

[in the car]

pov

You look out the window, admiring the city lights

pov

How pretty..

pov

You turn to your right, wanting to show y/n how beautiful it is

Hyunjin

Look-

pov

only to realize she's gone

Man

Hm? You saw her?

Hyunjin

Ah.. it's nothing..

pov

it feels strange, the empty seat next to you

pov

The last time you felt this way was the day your family died

pov

the feeling of dread and emptiness

pov

Your body heavy and drained,

pov

It's like losing a part of you, walking on one leg instead of two

Hyunjin

...

Man

We're here

Hyunjin

I..

Hyunjin

I don't have cash with me

Man

Forget it *turns off the meter*

Man

I'll pay for it don't worry

Hyunjin

Why..

Hyunjin

Why are you being nice to me?

Hyunjin

I don't even know you

Man

Seeing you reminds me of my past, just like you

Man

I've lost someone to an accident

Man

Enough about me, take good care of yourself

Man

How are you going to find her if you're going to behave like this?

Man

You need to manage yourself well first before helping others

[silence]

Man

Ah right, I found these on a pavement. They seem newly bought, take it.

pov

You took the bags without knowing what's inside of them

Hyunjin

Thank you

Man

You're welcome. I hope you'll find her soon

pov

You managed to drag yourself to the 5th floor

pov

Walking back to your room, you start searching for the key card in your pockets

pov

You finally reached the doorstep

pov

You realized they key card was with y/n the whole time

pov

You're about to place the bags down and head downstairs to the registration counter

pov

But something in the bag caught your eye

pov

You crouch down, placing the bags infront you then proceed to unwrap them

Hyunjin

How..

pov

They're burgers you bought from before

[flashback]

Hyunjin

I'll take everything.. with this

Staff

You know what kid, it's on the house

Hyunjin

on the house?

Staff

Yeah, you don't have to pay for it

Staff

We're closing anyways

Staff

Here *placing a few bags on the counter*

Hyunjin

Thank you *smiles*

Hyunjin

hehe y/n's gonna love me for this

[flashback ends]

pov

Without realization, tears endlessly stream down your cheeks

pov

You sat there, your back leaning against the wall with a lump in your throat as you try to fight back tears

Hyunjin

Agh..

pov

it hurts. It hurts so much that you feel suffocated.

" why is everyone taken away from me? "

" why those who mean a lot to me? "

" why y/n? "

" why? "
