18th Midnight: Snow. (1/1)
I wake up next morning with Hyun Ae sitting on the mattress next to me, hugging her legs as she leans her chin on her knees, watching me sleep.- Were you watching over my dreams? - I smile at her with my eyes half-open.- Huh - she smiles back. That smile that can melts my world and the ground where I stand.- You didn't sleep at all? - I ask noticing the dark circles under her eyes.- I did sleep - she chuckles, lying down next to me, the tip of her nose touching mine.- Come here, I'll warm you - I drag myself closer to her - Huh!?- Doesn't It feel nice? - she shows me a cheshire smile.- Huh...- Now, It's my turn to make you feel warm.With these words, she leans closer to kiss me, just a soft kiss as she rests her lips on mine. But, soon, she tries to move on the next stage, sucking on my lips, her tongue trying to make a way into my mouth. With a deep frown, I leave her lead since I don't care about morning parties.This urgue, the need that she shows as she kisses me with such passion and hunger, just hints me there's something coming. Soon. But I also know the only thing I can do right now is leave her lead, give her all myself. She's the only one with all the pieces of the puzzle and won't share it with me. I can't ask her either. I have no choice but to wait. Wait until she makes her choice.That's why, we just make love.~) Hyun Ae's POV (~I made my choice.That's why, this would be my last day with you, Yong Junhyung. At least, I'd be my last day with you as Hyun Ae. I have to go back where I belong. And I belong with you. That's why I do this. To be with you. oOo ~) Junhyung's POV (~- Junhyung... - Hyun Ae calls me from the couch.- Huh? - I ask from the kitchen.- We have to go to the hospital.- Wae!? - I ask in panic, turning my head to see her standing in front of me - You don't feel well? - she shakes her head.*ring ring*- Take it, I'll get ready - she hands me the phone and leaves toward her room.- Yoboseyo? - I answer lazily.- Hyung! - Dongwoon yells on my ear - Kyung Mi...- Yah! Son Dongwoon! - I hiss - I don't get a fuck of what you say! Talk properly!- Aish! Give it to me - Doojoon? - Yah! Bring your ass here right now!- Junhyung-ah~! - that's clearly Hyunseung and Mi Ri noona.- You're the only one late again! - Kikwang talking banmal... So dead.- These babos... - Yoseob comes on the line - We're going to be uncles soon, come here!- Mwoh!? - I drop a glass of water in the sink, splashing water on my face.- Come to your sense! Palli~!- Huh! Arasso! Hanging up - I run in to my room to find Hyun Ae there - Hyun Ae... Kyung Mi... She...- I already chose some clothes for you, change so we can leave as soon as possible - she smiles - I'll wait for you in the living room.Weird. Creepy. Scary... Not because she already knew but because the fact she already knew for some reason I don't know. That reason It was scares me the most. Worse. Kyung Mi's in the same hospital as Hyun Ae's, her body. This can't mean anything good.I'll watch you closely, Hyun Ae.oOo- How is she? - Hyun Ae asks for me since I'm breathless. How can she run that way and be so fresh!?- She went into labor a hour ago, the doctor said the baby comes without any difficulties so It won't take too long even being her first time - Mi Ri noona squeezes her hand.- Everything's going smoothly then - I take a deep breath - Dongwoon's with her right now?- Huh, since she won't need a caesarean, he could go in and watch over her - Doojoon pats my shoulder.- That's great then - I throw myself on a chair.- We left in such a rush that I forgot to go to the restroom - Hyun Ae laughs awkwardly.- Do you want me to go with you? - Mi Ri noona asks her.- Ani, ani - she shakes her head - I'll be right back.She walks away and turns to the left. To the left... the rest room is to the right. - Hyun Ae! - I scream her name.- Yah! Be quiet! - Doojoon hisses - We are in a hospital.- Shit! - I run after her, sure she wants to do something silly.But as soon as she sees me chasing her from afar, she speeds up, leading to Hyun Ae's room. Shit! Hyun Ae! What are you trying to do, huh? Please don't do it! Tell me you are not going to do what I think! From afar, I see how she goes inside the room and I catch up with her but... Late. She stands behind Hyun Ae's bed as I stand in the other side.- Hyun Ae... talk to me... - I pant, trying to approach her - Don't do it...- Junhyung...- Don't call my name like that! This is not a fucking farewell! - I yell at her, my cheeks burning with rage.- I have to do it... - she sobs, with a soft smile on her face.- You smile!? How can you smile!? Huh!? - I shake my head - Don't do this, Hyun Ae... Stop fooling around...- If I don't do this I'll die, Junhyung... - Tears fall down her cheeks as her smile fades away - This is the only way to live forever with you. You'll understand once you-...- Stop it! Please... - I offer her my hand - Come on, Hyun Ae...- I can't... I'm sorry, Junhyung." I'm sorry, Junhyung... I'm sorry, Junhyung ". The last words I hear from her lips as her hand leans closer to Hyun Ae's in slow motion. I stifle a scream in my throat when I watch how she grabs her hand with a soft smile on her face and tears on her cheeks....She's gone...oOo- Hyung, Kyung Mi'll get discharged tomorrow morning. If everything's ok, we'll be at home for lunch.- Huh... that's great.- Hyung... - Dongwoon makes a pause through the phone - Are you ok? Since yesterday at the hospital you're acting weird. - I'm perfectly fine, just tired.- Why don't you call one of these friends you have and-...- Hanging up.Wae? Why everyone forgot about Hyun Ae? Why It seems as If she never existed for them? Her body is still in the hospital. No changes, still the Sleeping Ghost Girl. And here I am, sitting in her empty room with LETHyo's head on my lap, sobbing. Her book is gone too... Wae?- You still have this - someone throws me this.- Hana! - I jump from the ground - How is that you are still here?- As you see... - she grins - I'm not here. You can see through me again. And I'll fade away soon.- Did she leave for real? - I look at her eyes, trying to find a glimpse of hope in them.- There's still a way.- Ottoke... - I pant, about to cry - Tell me... I beg you...- She's here - she rests her hand on my chest.- Mwoh? - I frown confused.- Her soul... - she closes her eyes - It didn't go back to her.- Wae? - I shake my head - I don't understand it.- She chose to leave and stay in your memory. The other choice was... to reborn.- Why didn't she choose that!? - I get frustrated.- Because she had to take someone else's life for that. A new life.- Kyung Mi's baby... the time limit... - I slide to kneel on the floor - That's why she knew it... that's why she did that...- And because she'd have forgotten you If she did so.- Babo... babo... - I mutter again and again, not able to think straight.- Get a hold of yourself If you want her to live, Joke Junhyung! - she yells at me - There's still a way.- Which one? - I get rid of the tears on my cheeks and stand again on my feet.- Go to her and make her come back with this - she hands me her notebook again - You know what you have to do now?- Huh - I nod and attempt to leave but she blocks my way.- Do you remember what JaeSoon told you back in our world?- " No matter what happens, don't listen to her. Do what you want to do. Because that's the right choice... the path to happiness "...- Keep that in mind, Junhyung - she kisses my cheek and smiles before fading away.- Thanks, Hana.Without wasting more time, I put on my coat and take her notebook on my hands and lead outside.- It's snowing... - I put my hand up to feel the snowflakes fall on my palm - I'm on my way, Hyun Ae. I'll bring you back... ...No matter what... __________oOo_________T___T I cried writing this.That's all I can say right now. And... Don't be scared =')
