| EPISODE 7 : FOOLS |
.
.
.
And here you are once again, grounded. Mind completely breaking down over the many things that happened today, ruffling your hair between your fists; you were completely dumbfounded. Another day had passed, then a few days, it had felt like an eternity as you lay on the floor.
You opened your eyes as the sunlight poured through the window laying itself on your face. You sat up, you won’t believe this. You’ll have to do something. You won’t believe that everything was fake, that everything was just a hallucination.
You refuse to believe it.
Chaeryeong, yes Chaeryeong. She’s the only one that would prove to you that you weren’t hallucinating. Someone is fooling you, and you know that. There’s no way everything was just a hallucination. Someone was playing a fucking game on you, you don’t know who but you’ll eventually find out.
Next day eventually comes, and you open your window slightly and jump through it. You wince in pain when you get hurt a bit in the process, but you won’t turn back when there’s only one answer left.
You go through many places you and Chaeryeong had spent time together, from the hiding spot to the nearest cafe in the city. With harsh breathing and beads of sweat forming on your forehead because of the scorching sunlight
It went on for hours and hours, and you felt a sudden rush of wave to just give up but you ain't gonna do that when your own best friend was going missing and no one, and by that not even a single person in this whole city was looking for her, not even her own family. If you gave up on her, then who would? And the fact she was the only answer left to all your questions.
Clenching your fists, you took in a new sense of determination to continue looking for her. Opting to go along the streets where it leads to her house once again, you're going to ask her parents again. Knocking hastily on the door was met with no response, it goes on for a while that it seems there was no one in the house. Putting your hands on your knees to take a quick long and deep breath with your eyes on the ground, the door in front of you finally opens.
But the sight made your jaw drop.
"Ch-chaeryeong?"
"Oh. (Name)."
You were hit with a huge relief passing through all your veins and without much thought, you throw yourself on her, embracing her with a tight hug. "You're safe! I'm glad! I'm really glad!
Tears was threatening to come out of your eyes but you pay no attention to it when your bestfriend was clearly here, all safe and well in front of you.
"S-safe? Wh–"
"Are you hurt anywhere? Huh?" You pulled her arm, inspecting any wounds or anything you could find. "What happen!?"
"(Name)! What are you saying?" Chaeryeong chuckles, pulling out from your grasp.
"God. I'm glad you don't even have an ounce of scratch in your skin-" you bend over, and anything inspecting her skin. "Or I swear I'm gonna kill whoever-"
"Oh my god, (name) what's wrong-"
"Huh! Speaking of that, what happened!?"
"What? What happened??"
"Yea! You got kidnapped right!? Who was it??"
"wait what? Slow down- what are you talking about? Kidnap? Jesus Christ."
"What are you saying? You called me right? The other day!" You exclaimed.
"Holy crap, (Name). Didnt I always call you?-"
"No!! You called me! On weekends. You called me for help!"
"Why would I call you for help, goddamnit. Jesus, what did you ate."
"What are you saying!? (name)?"
—
Drifting along the street, and the world seems to go on their way while you were too deep in thought. Completely baffled and dumbfounded over all of the things had happened. Were you dreaming? You let out a dry laugh, was everything just really a hallucination?
Your mind goes back to the time you talked to Chaeryeong again, as you tried to make sense of it.
"But it was you.. it was clearly you.." you said in a low voice.
"Jesus Christ! (Name). Did a ghost haunt you? Okay, okay. Tell me when did I call you and what did I tell you."
"You called for me in the middle of the night, on weekends!! Your voice was sore and l-like you were in p-pain!--" raising both your hands in a manner to try to get your words out, as your best friend listens to you with confusion written on her face. "you were asking for my help and then all of a sudden you cut off the line, as if someone had pulled you or I don't know caught you-"
"Wow, that's a hella detailed story there- you can be a writer." Your best friend jokes but stops when she sees your serious face. "Okay, alright alright, my bad."
"What were you doing when I supposedly called you that night?" she asked, and then the memories of you and your sister fighting came through.
Shaking your head, "it was just after the party-"
"The party!? You're partying?!" She suddenly exclaimed, raising her voice clearly surprised by what you said.
"I followed my sister! Okay?" You defended yourself.
"Oh okay okay." letting out a heavy sigh, your best friend looks up in the air trying to make sense of something. "I don't know if I can say this though.."
"Just say it."
"But even if it was, it couldn't have been that detailed.." your bestfriend smiles awkwardly.
"Just what, just say it."
"Drugs."
"What?" Your eyes widened. "Are you saying!?"
"Okay look! I'm not saying that. But- like I said it might not seem like it, but it's the closest thing I could think of (name)." Your best friend reasoned with you, giving you a concerned look.
—
Still incredibly shocked over what happened. You really had no idea how you can hallucinate such clear and detailed events. You couldn’t be taking drugs!? Chaeryeong’s call, Heeseung’s text, the car accident, and then Chaeryeong herself admitted to having never called you. What’s the actual fuck was happening to you!?
'Am I going insane?' you put your head on your hands as you groaned.
“(NAME!)” the loud angry voice of your father snapped you out of your deep thoughts.
“Shit.” you cursed in a low voice, you were too deep in thought that you didn't realize you were walking back straight to home. Having broken the grounded rules, you know what waits for you is no easy feat. Fixing your hair slightly and regaining your composure, you observe as your mom follows behind your father with an immense concern expression on her face.
“Where have you been!?”
“I’m sorry..” was the only thing you could let out after everything that had happened.
“Why did you do that!?”
“You broke the rules, goddamnit!”
“Go inside! We’re going to talk about this.”
“And, you’re done. I can’t really believe you, (Name).”
Confused, you look up to your mom. “What are you saying?”
“Get inside!”
“Okay i'm going!”
“Okay i get it you’re mad that i broke the rules! But can you listen to my explanation first!? I went to Chaeryeong’s-”
“That is one thing! (Name). But you stole our stuff! The paper and everything!”
“W-what?”
—
All the stuff that your parents had been looking for all this time was laid on the top of the table, scattered with a piece of plastic.
“You see all this shit!? You stole all of this!”
“You promise to us you won’t do it again! (Name). I thought you knew better already!”
“I didnt. I swear mom! Dad!”
“We found it in your room. Inside a plastic bag!”
You felt incredibly helpless at this point. The world in your view began to shatter and everything seems to get lost in void, with your parents screaming and blaming you. Heavy eyes and rough breathing, you couldn’t even cry anymore, you wanted to but you can’t. You’re getting tired. Tired. Everything is fucking tiring.
“No! You’re bullshitting me! I didn’t steal that, I swear! Please trust me!”
Their angry expressions and loud voice irritates you more than it should. It shouldn’t have been that annoying but for some reason, you want to bang your head on the wall and scream at them but you hold on for a little more.
Then you notice your dad pulling out his phone amidst your heavy crying, “Ms. Koo, is it possible if we can bring her now? Ah. yes. Yes.”
“Dad, what are you doing?” Your mouth trembles as you walk over to your dad trying to get the phone away from him.
“You’re meeting Ms. Koo-”
“I don’t want to meet her! What the fuck is wrong with all of you!??”
“Language (name)! Don’t raise your voice over your mom!”
“No! No! Why are you all doing this to me!? Fucking piece of shit!” you saw red. At last, you felt an immense betrayal, anger, and sadness rushing all over your being all mixed together with the throbbing headache, suffocation in your lungs to the point you wanted to vomit. Grabbing the nearest stuff on the table and throwing it on the ground smashing its contents,
“(NAME)!!!” you heard your parent’s angry protests for you to stop, but you wanted nothing but to express your anger and everything you bottled up inside. Smashing every bit of them.
Everything is so fucking tiring. You are tired. Gritting your teeth and clenching your jaw, you wanted to express how angry you were. How mad and how hurt you felt.
“Why! Of all people! I stole, yes! I stole from others! But never did I steal from our family! Maybe I did to Unnie! But that was because! Because! Because!!!” you screamed, smashing another vase. This wasn’t you. The composed and calm you. That thought immediately passed through you, which made you immediately halt your hands from smashing another vase.
What’s wrong with you?
Within a split moment, you felt a huge smash on your head making you fall on the ground, making you pass out.
—
Your eyes fluttered open slowly only to be met with the white ceiling, your heartbeat immediately quickens because the scene was all too familiar with you. You knew where you are. Your body wants to move but you felt so weak, you moved your head slightly and you saw an old woman in, a nurse, with a syringe filled with blood and you observed as she placed it among other syringes. Your breath hitched as you caught on, she must’ve drawn blood from you, you immediately tried to see which arm she took from and you breathed in relief as it was from your right arm. They couldn’t have seen it right?
“You’re awake.” an old lady went in and usher the nurse to continue with her job. You scoffed, you knew her, your same old therapist since you were a child.
The private therapist your family had assigned for you when they found out you had kleptomaniac, she was the one that reported to your family whenever you did something, from the smallest to the biggest ones, she did it. However she once promised you that you will one day be cured from your condition and that she will help you through all of it, never gonna leave your side no matter what happens.
No matter what happens.
You trusted her. But one day, she had brought you with her for a walk to the town, to give you candies and make your day. She excused herself for the restroom, and you find yourself lost in the crowd. As a child, you weren’t aware so when you can't help but do it again; and the consequences were a living nightmare for you. Your parents, your sister, neither your grandparents weren’t there to defend you.
The angry voices of the crowd mocking you, you look for her amongst the crowd and there she was; looking at you with that gaze, the same gaze all of other people had thrown upon you. You cried, just like the small fragile child you were, moving closer to her to take that warm loving embrace she had promised. But she didn’t. She didn’t. She didn’t acknowledge you but instead mock you amongst the crowd as well and so you despised her for it. After many years growing up, you finally realized she had intended to leave you in a place you couldn’t control yourself to steal, to put yourself in a situation where you no one but only you are left alone to defend yourself. It doesn’t really matter now, to be honest. Just seeing her, irks you a bit.
“When I heard from your parents that you have successfully healed from your condition, it was so much to say that I didn't believe it. After all, a kleptomaniac will always be a kleptomaniac..” she walks closer to you, a smile slowly curving up, “And i was right. How silly, sweetheart.”
“Shut up.” you spat out. In which she chuckled.
You frowned, trying to sit up. But you felt as if there was a strong force pulling you down back to the bed, weakness spiraling over you. And then your head aches once again.
“Don’t force yourself, sweetheart..” she chuckled, “your parents had sent you here for me to ‘fix’ your condition again, and i was to say the least, were amused.” she leans towards the window, glancing at your parents and your sister outside the hospital.
“Fix, they said. Wealthy people are all the same..” she let out an exaggerated sigh, now looking at you and as if she had read your mind. “You know why I didn't take you last time? To cradle you like a lost baby when you came to me?”
“It’s because I hate wealthy kids like you. Brats who think they can get anything by crying and an attention seeker. But I guess you’re turning to it now, and even worse. How unfortunate.” you could care any less about what she said, but you were left confused about her last sentence.
She walks closer to you, stroking your arm. “That you had another condition, how amusing.”
“W-what? What are you saying?”
Sighing, “Come in, Mrs. Kim and Sir. Kim.” the door opens, revealing your parents with their faces were nothing but fatigue, and your mom’s puffy eyes, your dad letting out a heavy sigh as he took a quick glance at you before looking at your psychiatrist.
Biting your lips as you look down to your hands, what’s happening?
“What should we do now?” Your dad asked her, taking quick glances at you.
“I suggest that we should take her for further treatment, she should be hospitalized.”
“What are you saying? Why should i go there!?”
“Yeah? Her condition isn't that bad for her to get hospitalized?” your mom asked with concern.
“That’s not what I'm talking about, because unfortunately, I found something else.”
“Wh-what?”
“Pull your sleeve up, your left arm.”
“N-no, why should I?” you instinctively covered your upper left arm covered with the material of your shirt.
“Why not? Show us, sweetheart.” your psychiatrist smirks, “We can’t help you if you don’t show it to us.”
“What’s with her left arm? Is there something with it?” your parents asked.
“N-no, there’s nothing. Forget about it.” you reasoned.
“We can’t forget about it, it’s rather serious that we-”
“It’s been a long time ago! Why are you sticking your fucking nose in my business!? Huh!?” you yelled at the top of your lungs at your psychiatrist.
“No- what? What’s happening?”
“Then I guess I have to take much harsher actions.”
“N-no! Stay away!” you screamed, as she moved closer to you, pulling your left arm. “Don’t touch me!! Get away!”
“Mom! Dad!”
“What are you doing!?” your mom cried out.
“Mam, you have to see what your own daughter was doing to herself all these years.” with so much struggle, she finally pulls your sleeve up. Revealing your bare left arm in front of your parents. And the sight shocks your parents to their core.
“(name)!!” they both exclaimed at the same time, shocked at the sight of the scars on your left arm. Some were fairly old, brownish dots and with some old deep cuts splattering all over your upper left arm.
“See? This is unacceptable, (Name) has been hurting herself, and we can’t let this happen.”
“Why are you doing this!? Since when!?” you kept quiet, mouths trembling as you tried to keep yourself from crying. Arms aching due to your therapist caging you with her arms, while pulling your left arm to the sight of your parents.
“Just why? Why!?” your mom puts her face into the comfort of her hands as she cries into them.
Thus your nightmare had begun, as your parents had agreed to let you stay in the hospital. You could do nothing but stay helpless as you sat on the floor and watched them decide your future, breaking down as you can’t believe that your life was turning into a mess. It was all doing well all this time, you managed to keep it for many years so why? Why do they have to find out about it? Especially now? Why now!?
“I won’t fucking let you keep me in this shitty place!” You screamed at them, pushing your psychiatrist aside, storming out of the room and running as fast as you could before they could catch you.
—
The light rain greeted you as soon as you left through the hospital’s entrance, your clothes soon getting drenched, but you couldn’t care any less as you had only one thing in mind; to run. To run away from all of them, who doesn’t trust you one bit, who doesn’t understand you nor tries to understand you. Not even your sister, who you had thought would trust you. No one. But were you selfish for even asking for that? That’s why you weren’t getting any of the warmth you’ve been hoping for? Was that it?
Just then, you felt a hand suddenly grabbing your arm preventing you from running. You gasped but soon anger came through you as you turned around to see who it was.
“L-let go of me!” you trashed around, trying to break free from Heeseung’s strong grasp.
“No wait! What’s wrong!?’
“Let go! Freak!”
“(Name)! Calm down! What’s wrong!?” you successfully break free from his grasp, running as fast as u can away from the hospital but he managed to hold you by your wrist again, preventing you from running.
“What’s wrong with you!? At Least tell me first!”
“Get the fuck away from me!”
“(Name)!!”
“What the fuck do you want!?” you screamed, “What? Are you here to make fun of me too!? Scream at me and yell at me for something i didn't do!?”
“You’re already ruining my relationship with my sister!! What else do you want!?” you cried out.
“W-what? Ruin? What are you saying?”
“Yea! Not only that, but because of you now! Because of that stupid party! Now i'm going to a freakin 'hospital!”
“Hospital, w-what? Are you sick?” Heeseung’s expression became worried the moment he heard what you said.
Scoffing, “Stop fucking acting! Isn’t that what you want!? You piece of shit!!”
“Why do you hate me so much!?”
You let out an exaggerated sigh, angry tears coming out from your eyes. “Goddamnit, just stay away from me!” you turned around again, but Heeseung was adamant to not letting you go.
“What the fuck!! Let me go!” you warned, “If you don’t let me go, I’ll scream and people will arrest you!”
“Let me go.”
“Then do it.”
“H-huh?”
“I won’t let you go, it’s dangerous out there!”
“Bullshit. Let me go.” you tried to break your hands away from his grasp again. “Let me go!!!”
“Running away from your problems won’t do you any good! (Name)!”
“What do you know!? What do you know about me!?” you cried out, “Nothing! So how do you know running away won’t do me any good!?”
“I know that we don’t know each other that much, but i’ve promised!”
“I’ve promised that i would be your good friend, and that by being good friend. I would protect you and trust you-”
“Don’t ever say that word. Fuck. I don’t believe you.”
“But I trust you.”
“Shut up!”
“I trust you! I know you didn’t steal my sister’s necklace back in the party.”
“Yeah right!? Keep acting like the righteous person you are!”
“I’m not lying! And why do you keep saying that? What did I do?”
“How can you be so sure, huh? With my fucking condition, no one ever trusted me. Not even my parents, not even my sister! Fuck, maybe they did. But- but..” stopping yourself to cry, you mouth trembles.
“(Name)..”
You glared at him, “So how can you!? Huh!?” gritting your teeth, “How!?”
“Because I do! I can feel it!” Heeseung cried, “I just know you won’t steal again, when I see how you love your sister and care for her. I knew at that time. I know you won’t ever steal again so please just believe me!”
“Don’t lie.” you said in a low voice, “Don’t lie!”
“I’m not!” he held both your arms because you were hitting his chest.
“Don’t l-lie!” you finally cried. “No you don’t! You’re just lying!”
“Just shut up for once (name)!” he yells at you, he pulls you into his embrace, your head falling to his chest, and his hands stroking your hair. “I trust you. And I will protect you as long as I'm here.”
“L-let go of me!!” you keep thrashing around but he tightly holds you, not letting you go.
—
And now here you are, standing behind Heeseung as he reasoned with your parents to how they could keep you here and not even try to listen to what you said. You could only keep quiet as you were already so tired, tired of everything. It goes on for what seems like eternity before your psychiatrist eventually suggests to cast a vote, a vote to decide whether you’ll stay here or not. To your relief, your mom doesn’t actually agree with your dad to keep you here but she doesn’t have a choice but to go along with his decision earlier. But now, along with Heeseung’s word, she voted to keep you out of this place, saying that this hospital won’t do you any good. It would be so much better if you were just at home, for her to take care of you.
However, your psychiatrist and your dad voted otherwise. You had expected that from them so you weren’t that really surprised despite your broken heart. Heeseung voted to keep you out from here, making you really feel grateful upon hearing that. For some reason, you weren’t allowed to vote since in fact, it was about you so now it’s 2 votes against 2.
It was a tie.
“Now get me out of here. It’s a fucking tie, you can’t keep me here.” You spat out behind Heeseung’s back to your psychiatrist. Silence ensues as your psychiatrist was deep in thought, thinking of what to do.
“Just stop thinking, god.” Heeseung sighed, “Let’s go, (Name).” he took your hands in his.
“She should stay here.” you turned to look around to see your sister standing at the doorway.
“Unnie?”
“After all that happens, are you still going to let her out there?” Chaewon spat out, glaring at you. You can’t believe it. You can’t believe what you’re hearing from her right now. Your mouths trembling, tears threatening to come out from your eyes again.. She can’t be?
“Are you saying it’s better for (Name) to stay here?” your psychiatrist asked her.
“Yeah, you should get treated and get better. (Name).”
“But I'm not sick!’” You yelled at the top of your lungs, gritting your teeth.
“I fucking doubt that. Do you really think you deserve to be out there after what you did?”
“So it’s 3 votes against 2.” Your psychiatrist fixes her glasses, straightening her posture as she calls for the nurses.
“You can’t do this to me..” you shook your head in desperation, falling to the ground in which Heeseung immediately held you. “How can you do this to me!?”
“I’m the one who should be asking you that. Why are you doing this to us?” Chaewon asked calmly, raising her eyebrows at you with that same gaze. That gaze. That fucking gaze.
“Chaewon! You can’t do this to her!” Heeseung protested, which immediately made Chaewon glare at him.
“She’s been insulting and accusing you all this time, and even Heemin!? Heeseung, for fuck’s sake. You’re too kind, but for once please don’t meddle with our family’s business.” Chaewon clasp her hands together, then she looks down at you, “You don’t know just what kind of girl she is.”
“Chaewon! She’s still your sister!” Your mom cried out, walking to your side.
“That’s the reason! She’s my sister that’s why we should let her get treated and not let her out there with her fucking condition! See? She’s also hurting herself! Isn’t that what insanes do?”
Insane?
“Watch your mouth, Chaewon!” Your mom yelled at her, whilst your dad stayed silent. You immediately caught on that your dad was siding your sister.. He, too, was looking at you with that same gaze.
“God, mom! Just look at her! She fucking lied, not just once but alot of times! Heeseung, Chaeryeong and that fucking necklace! You’re fucking insane.” she glares at you.
Your heart broke. Shattered to pieces as you couldn’t believe, you could’t fucking believe that she called you that. Why? What had happened for her to change so drastically like this? What happened? What is happening to your sister? You were both just fine all along this time, so why? Why was she so upset? It shouldn’t have gone so worse like this.
“Honey? You can’t let this happen!” your mom cried out, “Even if she stole a thousand times, we’re still her family! And can’t you see it!?” she gestures towards your arm.
Shaking her head, as she looks up to your dad, “This isn’t right.”
However your dad still stayed silent, and your psychiatrist spoke, “It has been decided, mam. We can’t do anything about it, but rest assured, we will do our best to treat your daughter-”
“I’m not insane..” you talk to yourself, eyes welling up in tears. “I’m not insane!
You cried out as the nurses came in, pulling you up and away from them. Heeseung couldn’t do anything too but stood silent, because it wasn’t his business in the first place.
“Mom! Dad!” you cried out so loud, it echoed through the hallway. “Unnie!”
—
Ever since then, you've been stuck in this hellhole called ‘hospital’. And apparently your sister had despised seeing you and refused to visit along with your parents which had entirely broken your heart.
Empty.
Empty, was what you felt when you laid on the hospital bed every fucking single day, staring at the white ceiling. You don’t even know if you can call it a feeling, but it felt like your heart has been stomped on countless times that it had this big hole in it. Clenching your fists as you remembered all the things your sister said to you. How could she? Pressing your lips tight as you tried to suppress crying again. You were tired, tired with all the shitty things that happened. It was all doing fine, you were doing just fine all this time so why? Why has it come to this?
Raising your arms up to your eyes to prevent the tears from coming out was useless, as it eventually finds its way out, wetting your arms as it flows down your cheeks. Your mouth trembles as you bite your lip, stopping yourself from crying out loud.
Sad, sad.
As the faint smell of the medicines lingers on the air, and the cold floor of the hospital, the nurses coming in to give you meds; all of it was hell. And along with it, another faint smell of food came.
Heeseung.
Yes, Heeseung. Amidst all the chaos, trouble and emptiness you had went through in this hospital, there was this comfort that had been by your side all this time, and that was him; Heeseung. He comforted you with his words, telling you that all will be fine and well. That your parents will eventually take you back and that they actually didn’t plan to keep you here for much longer and that he had told you that your sister still cares about you, she was just busy with college and stuff. Yes, Heeseung. The person who had been accompanying you through this hellhole all this time. If it wasn't because of him, you'd turn into a living corpse with no one beside you. Since the rain incident, you didn’t expect for one bit that he would do all what he said under the rain..
But he did, he promised and he did exactly what he said.
And so here you are in the hospital, you will be here for a few weeks to undergo your treatment. Just like what Heeseung said, it won’t take long and they just have to do a few tests and your mom assured you that you just needed some time to rest.
You heard a knock from the door, revealing Heeseung with a box of food in his hands.
“What are you now, my nanny?”
“Maybe,” Heeseung chuckled.
If you had told the you three weeks ago that you and Heeseung would have gotten this close, she wouldn’t believe it all. In fact she would laugh at you to death and wouldn’t even believe a single word you said. But here you are now, joking with Heeseung and spending a lot of time with him. He had been visiting you along with your parents, and then coming back secretly at night to spend time with you with the reason that he doesn’t want you to be alone. At first, you were wary around him however you eventually ease up around him in which he jokingly mentions about it in one of your conversations.
"Here a flower for you," Heeseung playfully picks a flower from the garden and puts it beside your ear. "You look so pretty." He whispered to himself but you managed to hear it.
"Are you flirting? Because if you are, I'm going to tell unnie about it."
"Jeez, what's so bad about calling you pretty. Even Chaewon would say the same." He frowned, in which you chuckled about how adorable he looks.
"I doubt that." you look at your reflection on the window, "Unnie doesn't even want to look at me now. Because of my stupid arm, stupid condition and my stupid hallucinations."
"Don't let it get through you,"
"Hm?"
"Your sister might be mad and all but she still cares for you, I can see that. That's why I'm here to take care of you, for her."
"So you must get well soon, I really don't know what's happening between you and your sister. However, if you really love her then you must try."
"I don't know.. Heeseung." you shook your head slowly.
"It's okay, I'm here right?" he strokes your cheek with his fingers, "I'll be right here beside you unlike that old woman, but you just have to prove it to them. Just show it to them, take your meds and all those treatment."
"Your sister would see how hard you're trying to get better, and with that, she'll no longer be upset with you."
"Really?"
He hummed in response, pulling you into his embrace, "and everything will be go back to the way it was soon, and I promise you that."
And you listened to him, you don't know where are you getting those hallucinations but if you are getting it then, there must just be something wrong with you. So you have to get better, for the sake of your sister.
He would continue on visiting you with your family, with or without them, he’ll come back bringing extra foods, some ornaments, and book stories for him to read for you. In which you protested that you are not a kid, but he insisted since it will calm you down and won’t make your days in the hospital boring as hell.
—
The door to your room opens quite loud, making you roll your eyes as to who doesn’t have the basic manners to knock first.
“(Name)!” but your eyes widened when you realized who the voice came from, your smile grew so wide when you finally turned around to see who it was.
“Chaeryeong!” she run to you in small hops and pulled you in a hug.
“How have you been? I miss you so much!!” Chaeryeong pouted with her eyebrows knitted together, as she sat beside you.
“I miss you more..” you exclaimed, hugging her again.
“Yah, what’s wrong with your face? You look like a corpse.” She cupped your cheeks with her hands as her cheerful face was replaced with concern.
“Really?”
“Yeah, look. Bish, why aren’t you looking after yourself?” She pulled out her phone, using the camera app for you to look at yourself, and she was right. You somehow look sick, with your face pale and your lips dry.
“Tch, you never know if there’s a hot nurse here so at least make yourself look presentable, duh.” she sighs exaggeratingly, making you laugh.
“Not everything has to be about boys!” you flick her forehead making her wince in pain.
“Yeah, yeah. Oh- here.” she pulled out a box of chocolate bars from her bag, “Ta-da! I bought this for you!”
“Chocolates!” you exclaimed, taking one chocolate bar and munching it happily.
“What’s wrong?” you asked through your mouthful of chocolates after noticing a change of Chaeryeong’s expression. “Is my mouth dirty?”
“N-no! You just really look like a corpse, duh.” she chuckled, “You should really take care of yourself, (Name).”
“I am, don’t worry.” you smiled happily.
Words can’t express how your heart feels so happy to see your best friend, after all she was your only friend. The friend who was by your side as you grew up even when she never really took actions to those people who bullied you in school, but you can’t really blame her because they might target her and bully her too, and you don’t want that to happen so you once told her to stay away from you but she didn’t. You still remember when she would come secretly to your house, and spend time with you doing stupid but fun things, bringing you everywhere with her and you were really grateful for that. Because of her, you knew how it feels like to have a friend.
A true friend.

“Oh, did someone visit?” Heeseung asked, bringing a tray of food.
“Yea, my bestie. She just left, didn’t you see her?”
“No I didn't.” he shrugged, placing the tray of food on your desk.
“Weird. Shouldn’t she have passed the other way-?”
“Prob an invisible person like you,”
“Huh?”
“Yeah, your bestie right? Must be a crackhead like you too.” he jokes.
“Shut up!” laughter filled the room, along with the sunlight creeping in and the fresh air of the garden coming in. The door to your room opens, revealing an old nurse holding a tray of syringes. You immediately caught on that it was for the blood test. Heeseung excused himself saying he'll come back again, and you nodded in response.
“It’s going to hurt a bit.” the old nurse gave you a sweet smile, in which you also smile in return,
“It’s okay.” you observed as the needle was pushed into your skin, drawing blood from it as the syringe quickly filled up.
—
Finally, today was the day. You can finally go back home.
Home.
Packing your bags, your heart were jumping in excitement but with a lingering sadness that you will soon meet your sister again, everything she said and everything she did all was coming back to you again. Shaking your head, you decided not to dwell on it. After all, everything was just a misunderstanding, right? You will come back home, meet your sister and explain everything, and everything will be fine again. It has been a few weeks now, so your sister must be no longer upset right?
Right?
Forcing yourself to smile, reassuring yourself that everything will be okay. Even with fear lingering in your heart, it’s best to stay positive. Yes, stay positive. You gaze out of the window, the clear blue sky making you remember all the happy memories you had with your sister, you look down, touching the necklace she had given to you which you are wearing right now.
Now with your smile being genuine, a new sense of hope filled you up.
The door to your room opens, you turn around happy that your parents were finally here but to your surprise, it wasn’t them. Instead, it was your psychiatrist.
“What.. are you doing here?” you raised your eyebrows, curious with her amused expression.
“Going home?” she chuckles, “I fear it won’t happen, my sweetheart.”
“W-what are you saying?”
“Ah..” she let out a heavy sigh. “It's no doubt you’re a kleptomaniac, but..?” letting out a giggle.
“W-what?”
“I can’t believe you were taking drugs, sweetheart. A kleptomaniac and a druggie? What a perfect combination.” she giggled.
“What the fuck are you saying?” you cried out. A thousand times you had asked the same thing. And all of them were outside your knowledge. Things you didn’t do, they all accused you. And every time they asked that, it buries the hole inside your heart more way bigger than it was before.
“Are you taking drugs or what?” Chaeryeong giggled.
Memories of Chaeryeong instantly flashes through you, it can’t be true. You’ve never taken drugs, not even once. So how?
You saw your parents go in through the door with disappointment and anger written on their face, along with your sister following behind them. Your mom immediately walks closer to you, slapping your arm, weeping in disappointment.
“When!? When did you do it!?” she cried out, with tears in her eyes. You remain silent, still shocked over what was revealed. You look over at your dad and your sister, you had expected a series of questions from your dad and your sister, but they didn’t. They were silent. Disappointment painted on their face.
“(Name)!! When? When did you start doing that? (Name)!!” your mom asked, with tears in her eyes, completely disappointed over the ‘truth’.
“I didn’t!!” you exclaimed. “When can I even get a drug!?”
“Stop lying! Is this how we raise you!?” your mom yelled.
“M-mom!!” you cried out so hard,
“Why the hell do you keep believing what they say!? Why not me!?” you yelled at them at the top of your lungs, tears welling up in your eyes once again.
“I told you I never took drugs!”
“Then why is it in your blood!?”
“I dont know!!” you cried out.
“Enough, honey.” your dad sighed, the disappointment was evident in his eyes as he gazed coldly at you, making your soul run cold. The last time he ever looked at you that way was back in the hospital, when you were the sole reason for what happened to your sister.
“What should we do now?” Your dad asked your therapist.
“I suggest she should stay here for a bit more..”
“W-what? .. No!” your eyes widened, yelling at her.
“It’s necessary since (Name)’s condition is really getting serious.”
“Mom! Dad!” you walked closer to them, “You can’t!”
“Kleptomaniac, self harming, and not to mention the drugs. It’s dangerous.”
“Shut the fuck up!!” you turned around, attacking her.
“You’re lying! I never took drugs, bitch!! You’re bullshitting me!!” you screamed at the top of your lungs as emotions completely took over you.
“Are you all fools!? What’s happening to all of you?” clenching your jaw as you glared at them.
Few nurses came in, pulling you away from your psychiatrist. But you fought, you won’t stop, your parents were horrified to see your maniac state.
“No! I wanna go home! Mom, Dad!” you cried out, “Why wouldn’t you trust me!? They’re all lying!!”
Home.
You just wanna go home. That’s all you wanted. But instead of home and warmth, it was replaced with fear and betrayal. Your hope shattered to pieces. You no longer felt safe. Trust was completely gone in your parent’s eyes as you tried to reach out your arms to them, even your mom who had initially told you that she would be there for you had turned her eyes away, ignoring you as you were being pulled out from the room by the nurses.
“I trust you, (Name).” memory of Heeseung flashes to you as tears fall down to your cheeks, “Heeseung..”
“Where is he?” you looked around, searching for him. And then through the door, your sister appeared with Heeseung. You would’ve been safe when it was your sister but no, you knew she doesn’t trust you and so your gaze fell on him; the him who appeared like an angel.
“What are you doing!? Get off of her!” he yelled at them, pushing all of them away from you. And just like you when you were a child, looking for a warm embrace from your psychiatrist.
“Please hug me!” your little self cried out, raising both your arms to look for that warm embrace. But you were left standing there all alone by yourself, as the one who had promised to be by your side, was just standing there staring at you with a blank expression.
“Apologize right now!” a woman scolded you, “Where’s your parents!?”
“Stop lying! If you keep that shitty attitude, just what kind of girl are you growing up to someday!?”
You raise both your arms, in which he took it pulling you in a hug. A soft, warm, and home-like embrace.
“You’re hurting her! Are you fucking serious right now!?” you cried in his arms.
“I wanna go home!” you cried out, gripping Heeseung’s cardigan.
“Shh, it’s okay.” Heeseung comforts you who were shaking in fear. His warmth was the only thing that’s keeping you sane right now.
Then you watched as your sister, your parents were talking with your psychiatrist. You couldn’t hear anything, as your head grew dizzy and your vision getting blurry. But even with all of that, you could still see their face, disappointment clearly written on their face.
And just like that. . .
You could only watch as everything had completely fallen apart in front of you. Your parents, your sister, your life; everything was falling apart. Today was supposed to be the day you should’ve went home, back to your home and the coziness of your bed, to make things better again with your sister and apologize to her for everything. Go to school again and hang out with Chaeryeong, for things to be the way they used to be. But how funny it was when you can only watch as they walk out from the door, leaving you, again. Why were you even surprised? Nothing seems to change after all, you thought.
“I’ll be back..” Heeseung whispered into your ears, your grip started to loosen on his arms as he stood up and let go of you slowly.
Hanging your head low slightly, biting your lips to stop yourself from crying even more. With your hands clenching the material of your pants, and your body was shaking. You were helpless, unable to do anything as your family had decided to keep you in the hospital for god knows how long.
—
You cried, you cried and cried for how long god knows. All alone in your room with only the bright moonlight accompanying you, you hugged yourself trying to search for warmth. The same warmth that came from Heeseung. You looked up, getting up from your bed and went glancing outside your window to look for any signs of Heeseung but he wasn’t anywhere to be seen. Heart sinking in disappointment, you went back to bed. He should've come around this hour like he always did, so where was he? Doesn’t he trust you anymore? Did they change his mind? Has his view on you changed the moment he walked out the door?
Then you heard hasty footsteps approaching, and you immediately knew who it was. Your eyes lit up observing as the door pulled open with Heeseung going in. And you immediately ran towards him, hugging him. His arms wrapped around your waist as he leans into your neck, telling you it's okay. His soft voice instantly soothes you like a mother’s voice to her child, feeling his warmth on yours, you sighed in contentment.
“I’m sorry, I was late wasn't i?” you cried in his arms, not saying anything. “I’m sorry, i’m sorry.”
“I thought you don’t trust me anymore. That’s why you’re not coming.”
“Hush, don’t say that.”
“But it’s true, no one trusted me. Not even Mom, dad. Not even Unnie.”
“They’re probably just shocked to hear about it.”
“But still they didn’t trust me..” you cried again.
“It’s okay, i’m here. I trust you. I won’t leave you.” he hugged you even tighter, now sitting on the floor with you on his chest like a child would to its mother.
—
“If it’s okay to ask, how did you get that?” you notice that he was actually mentioning about the scars on your upper left arm.
You kept silent, a bit hesitant to tell the truth. Noticing your hesitation, he stroked your hand giving you a small smile, “You know you don’t have to tell me right? It’s okay.”
“I did it.”
“It was because of my sickness.”
“Growing up, I always felt the urge to steal. To take something that I don't own, I never wanted to do it but I couldn't. I wanted to stop. But I couldn't. It wasn’t easy, no. It was never easy. It was hard, very hard. They took me to the psychiatrist, to cure my condition. At first, my parents were hopeful. All of them. But then, i don’t know when, when i caught them with that gaze, my heart dropped. I thought at that time, have they given up on me? Are they embarrassed about me? That it embarrassed my sister about it, not only her. My entire family. But really was it my fault? That I was born with this condition?” you cried out, “Because of something i can’t control, they don’t like me at all.”
“And because of my condition, no one really wanted to be my friend. They call me a thief. But it was fine, it was fine. It was okay, I could live through it. It doesn’t matter at all, maybe.”
“But then, something happened that really made me feel angry. For once, I wanted to show them that I'm angry. That if they want to treat me like that, then so be it. I wanted to ruin something and so I did.”
“However, I never expected that my sister would hurt herself. I swear. They blamed me, they told me that I was the reason, and I feel really guilty. I hated myself for stealing, I hated the fact that I had this condition in the very first place, no. I hated that I was even born in the first place!”
“You never change,' my dad told me that. It was because of you. It’s you, it was you. Mom said that. It hurts. Okay. Let’s say it was my fault, but have they ever think how hurt I felt when they blamed me for something I can't control!? That guy. Unnie. Everyone. They made me hate myself. It’s not like I wanted it! I also wanted to stop!”
“I tried everything! I go to my therapist! I searched for many ways to stop stealing. But it never works! And I feel really helpless at that point.”
“When I got the urge to steal again. I hated that. And so I did it. I took a pen and stabbed my arm. Whenever I felt the urge to steal, I did it. Whenever I find myself staring at someone’s stuff, I stab my arm with it. When I tried to touch someone’s stuff, I did it again. I do it again, over and over again. Reminding myself that this was the pain my sister felt, this was the pain my family had felt all because of my condition, all because of me.”
“But it hurts!” you cried out, Heeseung immediately pulled you into his chest, warming you with his embrace as you struggled to talk, trying to take out the words. The pain you felt in your chest.
“I-i r-remind myself that this pain was what they felt over and over again because of me. And if I want this to st-stop, then I should stop myself from st-stealing.”
“And it works. I finally did it. I was happy. But the wound never goes away. But it was fine, I told myself. Everyone was happy that I was cured. They were happy, I was happy that they finally saw me as someone, someone who doesn’t steal. But you know, some of them still look at me the same way..”
“But it's okay!” you sniffed, shaking your head. “It doesn’t matter! I have my sister! I have my family. They believed me now! So it’s okay!”
Gritting your teeth as your lips tremble, “But what now!? All of those bullshit things. That fucking necklace, drugs and this fucking wounds! This!”
“I was afraid that if they saw it. Something worse could happen. Even if I told them, it’s not like they would understand! And guess what? They really didn’t.”
“It’s okay, shh. It’s okay.” Heeseung cried alongside with you, the moonlight shine on you two as you cried in each other’s arms.
“I’m tired..” you sighed in Heeseung’s arms, “It’s so tiring.. Everything.”
And with that, you finally dozed off on Heeseung’s arms with tears in your eyes falling down to your cheeks. Heeseung raised his other hand to your hair, softly stroking it with his fingers till it reached your cheek, wiping off the tears.
“It’s okay..” he softly says, resting his chin on your head, “It will end soon..”
—
Starting from that day on, your parents rarely visited. Heeseung told you that they were completely disappointed in you that they couldn’t just bring themselves to look at you, he can’t help but tell you that because he doesn’t want you to keep thinking why they weren’t visiting. As much as it hurts, you were grateful that he told you the truth.
It’s better that you weren’t fooling yourself.
Reading the book Heeseung gave you, was the very last thing that made you sane in this hospital. You don’t know how long you would stay here, however you wish it would pass soon. Ever since that day, you and Heeseung grew more and more closer. You had trusted him and grew to love him for he was always there by your side.
Yes. You’ve started to love him and you don’t know how and when. But somewhere along in those days, you started to look at him in a different way.
You really didn’t expect that it could turn out like this but for once, you didn’t regret it. However, even though you loved him, you still won’t betray your sister because of him. You were just grateful that he was there by your side, and that he did as he promised. He didn’t break it, and you appreciated that. Who could think that the boy you were planning to mess around with through a dating app turns out to be the person who will defend you from everything? Upon realizing that, you felt a sense of guilt towards him that you even accused him of something that he didn’t do, and that you insulted him and possibly could’ve hurted him over it. Because of your stupid hallucinations, you almost ruined their relationship. Sighing, how could you even be able to take drugs? When and how?
Was it possible that someone could’ve drugged you? But who?
“Miss?” you got snapped out of your thoughts when a male nurse waved his hand through your face, “You have to take your meds.”
“Oh, right.” you smiled, and swallowed your meds along with the water. “Thank you.”
Then you notice him blushing, in which you tilted your head which he immediately caught on raising his hand to his cheeks covering it,
“Ah, it’s nothing, sorry!”
“You’re just so pretty, I'm sorry if that sounds weird.” curving his lips up in an awkward manner, as you laugh it off finding it cute.
“It’s fine!” you smiled. You then heard a knock on the door, with Heeseung leaning against it. The nurse then immediately took his leave, bowing his head slightly to you with a smile on his face. You observed as Heeseung walked past the nurse, and somehow you saw something on his expression that you can’t seem to guess but it was immediately replaced with a cheerful smile when his eyes fell on you, making your heart flutter.
“I see, you got an admirer?” Heeseung asked, with a grin on his face.
“It’s none of your business.” You rolled your eyes, in which he shrugged in response.
“Where have you been by the way?” you asked.
“From your house, I actually have a date with Chaewon today so I fear I can't really accompany you today, (Name).”
“Oh..” your shoulder fell, a bit disappointed over what you heard.
“I’m sorry, I’ll make it up to you next time okay?”
“N-no! Why would you? I told you right, treat my sister well. That’s all I’m asking.”
“Are you sure? Won’t you feel alone?”
“God, it’s not like I'm a child. Just go!”
“Alright, but I promise I’ll really make it up to you.” He raised his hand, stroking your cheek. For some reason, you loved it. You loved his touch, leaning in to feel his warm hands more.
—
Gazing out of the window, you let out a heavy sigh as it feels too lonely. You were really lonely, Heeseung was in fact, the only one who had spent his time talking with you and comforting you.
The lights from all the buildings weren’t enough to make you feel better, after all Heeseung was always here to accompany you and read bed stories to you. Even though you hated it, the fact that he read bed stories to you makes you feel like you’re a child. It actually helps you feel better, and also when he sings a lullaby for you. You grew to love his voice, it was soothing and heavenly-like. Suddenly, you hear a knock from your door, immediately turning your head happy that Heeseung is finally here.
But your shoulder fell in disappointment, as it was only the female nurse who often brings you meds during her nightly shift. She bowed her head slightly upon meeting your gaze, in which you nodded in response. She quietly walks over to you, bringing a tray of a glass of water and a bottle of meds.
“Is.. um, Heeseung here?” you asked without much thought, mentally cursing yourself for even asking that. How could she have possibly known? You held the need to roll your eyes.
“Heeseung?” the nurse tilted her head in confusion, “Ah! That guy? Heeseung?”
You nodded your head, still delighted that she caught up quick.
“Unfortunately I can’t see him anywhere, miss. It’s a bit late now.”
You sighed upon hearing that, a bit disappointed over the fact that Heeseung’s really not going to come today. But why were you even surprised? Heck, why were you even disappointed? For what? You scoffed with your own thoughts.
The nurse then places the tray on your small desk, handing you a glass of water and a pill in which you obliged. Sighing as you stare at the meds on your palm, you’re getting crazy aren’t you?
“Is he your boyfriend?”
The words snapped you out from your deep thought as you turned to look at the nurse, “Huh? Who?”
“The guy Heeseung.”
Upon hearing the words, you immediately let out a soft laugh. “N-no! He’s just a friend.”
“Ah.. I see.”
“Why are you asking?” you smiled, “Do you like him?”
“No! Of course not!” you let out a chuckle as the nurse raised both her hands as if to defend herself. “Not with that attitude..”
“Hm?”
“Um, I'm not so sure if I could say it.”
“Nah, it’s okay. You can tell me anything.”
—
After the conversation with the nurse, you went to the hospital’s garden. Your mind was still lingering on what she said, about Heeseung and the way he acts around the people in the hospital. She told you that Heeseung was a completely different person when she accidentally bumped into him the other day, and just like what every person should do, she apologized. However, the response she received surprised her.
“Fucking annoying.” was what she heard from Heeseung who was glaring at her, ignoring her apologies and went on his way.
You were actually hesitant to believe what she said, even when she told you that the rest of the nurses also said the same. His cold, and somewhat rude attitude that really surprises them even with how good-looking he looks, his attitude just wasn’t it. However, you still find it hard to believe. You couldn’t. Not when he did all those things for you. Being by your side, accompanying you when you need someone, and defending you when no one does. You had expected that from your sister, but instead Heeseung took the responsibility. You pass it off as a misunderstanding, sure the nurse wasn’t lying, but Heeseung must’ve been in a bad mood at that time. It just happens at the wrong time, you thought.
Gazing at the dark sky, you sighed as there were no stars to be found on them. You’ve always loved to gaze at the stars whenever you feel bored, alone or just for the sake of watching them. However, the stars weren’t there to accompany you. Today was really lonely, isn't it?
Letting out another heavy sigh, you stood up getting ready to go back inside the hospital. But your breath hitched when you saw someone standing from your peripheral view, instantly turning your head to see the person. But the stranger immediately left as if to avoid being caught by you, making your eyes widen in fractions. Who was that?
Without much thought, you followed the stranger, silently catching up to them. You peek at the edge of the wall, and the stranger’s back facing you. By the figure, you caught on that it was a guy wearing a black hoodie and long black pants. Then it hit you.
The one who was stalking you on that day. On the day of the party, after you fought with your sister. When you got that text. When you sense it. That was him. A whole new courage fills you up as you wanted to know who it was, and since this was the hospital. It won’t be much trouble to ask for help. Within a split second, you immediately sprint towards the stranger, launching yourself on him and kicking him on his back.
Hovering upon him, “Yah! Who the fuck are you!? What are you doing here!?” you tried to pull off his hoodie to see his face but he pulled it back trying to keep it to it’s place.
“Show your face! Goddamnit!” You kicked him on his back again, resulting in him groaning. Then he instantly pushes himself up with his hands making you fall backwards, and the stranger immediately runs away from you sprinting inside the hospital. “For fuck’s sake!!
And of course, you chase after him going inside the hospital going past the long hallway that was almost completely empty since it was already past midnight. The hallway was dark and only the lights from the slightly opened doors of each room shine through the hospital’s floor. You halt your steps, catching a breath, you lose him. Mentally cursing yourself, you can’t let him go.
But then you saw a dark silhouette passing a bit farther from you, “You!”
You chase after him inside one of the dark rooms he went into, silently walking inside. To your dismay, you tried to turn on the lights but it wasn’t working. Only the moonlight was bright enough to lighten the room just enough for you to see the medical stuff on the huge desk. Just then you hear footsteps slowly walking behind you, your heartbeat suddenly quickens after you realize just what kind of situation you put yourself into.
Hands shaking as you swallow into your throat, you immediately take the nearest object behind you; a metal tray, to smash to the stranger's head, twisting your torso to land the impact on him but to your dismay, he quickly dodges it and kicks the tray off your hands. Strong pair of arms immediately pulled your arms, your back coming into contact with his chest, he caged you in between his arms.
Adrenaline quickly fills your body as you trashed around, trying to escape from the stranger’s grasp but he was too strong, now with his right hand on your mouth preventing you from screaming. Only muffled screams can be heard amidst the silence inside the room you were both in.
‘Heeseung!’ you pressed your eyes shut, you felt nothing but fear, hoping for Heeseung to appear and save you.
“C-calm down! I’m not trying to hurt you!” the stranger spoke behind you, your eyes shoots open as soon as you heard it, his voice. It was familiar.
“Stop moving!”
“Trust me! Please! Just stop moving and I'll release you!” you immediately complied, in which he actually releases you from his grip. But you scoffed, taking another glass bottle and hitting him on his head, completely shattering it to pieces.
“Fuck! Why did you hit me!” he groaned in pain.
“Freak! Stalker!”
“Huh!?”
“Why were you stalking me!?” you yelled at the top of your lungs, in which his eyes grew wide, clearly shocked over what you said.
“I can explain!”
“Explain what? What is there left to explain!?” you grit your teeth, feeling nothing but anger. “You’re insane!”
“No! Push that away! It’s dangerous!”
“Now you know, huh!? Scared? I was scared too when you fucking chase me the other day!”
“I had a reason for that! Please, hear me out!”’
Silence.
“Please. . .” he kneeled down on the floor, clasping his hands together.
It was silence for quite a moment, trying to think of what to do with him.
“Fine. Let’s see what you got.” You lowered the shattered bottle, still gripping it tightly in case he ever plans something funny.
“Lee Heeseung.”
“What?”
“Don’t trust that guy, he’s fooling you and your sister.”
“What the fuck are you saying!?” you spat out, eyes widened.
—
“Yo, earth to (Name)?” you were immediately pulled out from your daydream when Heeseung suddenly appeared in front of you, sitting on the bed just a few inches away. With an amused expression on his goddamn handsome face, he leans in. “What were you thinking about, huh?”
“N-nothing, since when were you here?”
A low chuckle left his mouth, giving you sudden chills, “Gosh, (Name). I have been here since a few minutes ago, you just didn’t hear me.”
You swallowed your throat, as you let out “Ah.. sorry, I didn’t realize.”
“It’s fine, at least I got the chance to see your pretty face.” a sweet smile adorns his face as he said that, making you blush slightly.
“Why are you here then?” you asked.
“Why? Can’t I?” he raised his eyebrow, in which your breath hitched.
“N-nothing, you weren’t this early before. Don’t you have any class today?”
“I do, but of course I have to check up on you. I feel guilty, y’know?” his eyes were filled with guilt as he looked at you.
“I told you, you don’t have to.” you looked down to your hands, avoiding his gaze. You don't know what to believe.
"That guy you've been spending time with all this time-"
"Here, I bought this for you!" Heeseung sat beside you, bringing a box of chocolates.
"—Is a liar."
"(Name)?" you look up to Heeseung, immediately extending your hand in which he happily places the box on your palm. Your heart fluttering as you see his cheerful smile.
"And you wanna know why you got that blood results where it says you've taken drugs?"
"Because that guy, Lee Heeseung.."
You pull the cover of the box on your hand, opening the cover which had delicious chocolate bars sprinkled with toppings on it.
"Was drugging you all this time, and you have no single idea about it.”
“Bullshit.” you spat out, “Why should I believe you?”
“I knew you would say that..'' the boy let out a small chuckle, as if he had really expected for you to say that, “They always give you meds right? What if I tell you those meds weren't to cure you?”
“W-what?”
“What if I tell you those meds you were taking all this time.. Was drugs?”
—
You immediately turned your head at the door after hearing the knock, and to your surprise, the new male nurse who had given you meds wasn’t here, instead it’s the old female nurse. The same nurse who had drawn blood from you before, but now she was bringing the meds for you.
“Um.. Where’s the nurse from yesterday?”
“Oh, he had taken a leave for the day. And so I was here to fill in the empty spot.” She smiled warmly at you, handing you the glass water along with the pill.
“Don’t take those, I’m telling you. Those are drugs.”
You stared at the pills for what seemed like a few minutes, when the nurse immediately called for you, snapping you out of your thoughts. Nodding in response, you took the pill while drinking it along with the water. But unbeknownst to the nurse, you only swallowed the pill to some extent.
After she left, you put your finger inside your mouth, spitting it out in the process. You don’t know why you were even believing that stalker, however because of the drugs you knew you never took, you couldn’t help but believe him.
—
“Why are you helping me?” you asked without much thought, when EJ finally appeared again sitting against the door with his hands on his pockets, and his head slightly hanging low as if to avoid your gaze.
You observed how hesitant he was to answer your question at first, knitting your eyebrows as you waited for him to reply. He sighed, finally opening his mouth.
Your jaw dropped when he told you that the first time he had seen you was at Heeseung’s party. That he was there among the students, seeing the entire commotion you had with the Lee siblings. That ever since that incident you had with the Lee siblings, he had watched over you. He saw everything, the fight you had with your sister after the party, the hallucinations you got, and even the drug incident, he saw everything. He told you that he actually doesn’t believe the entire ordeal, and when they accused you of stealing Heemin’s necklace. It just didn’t sit well with him, but he could only watch as it wasn’t his business in the first place.
“If it wasn’t your business in the first place, then why are you here?”
“Because you’re Chaewon’s sister..”
“Huh?”
“I.. like her.” your jaw dropped again when you heard his confession, “And I can’t let her get fooled by that piece of shit.”
“How?”
“Heeseung, that guy.. Has a petty game with his friends, and their target was Chaewon. The dare was to ..” He paused for a moment, as if he couldn't let the word out, “To do something to Chaewon and get a pic of it..”
Your heart sank the moment those words left his mouth, rage started to fill in your veins.
“How the fuck did you know about it?”
“..I accidentally heard it from Heeseung’s friends when I passed them.”
“And how the hell can I trust you about it?” you raised your head, looking up to him. “That you weren’t fooling me or some shit?”
"How do I know that you're not accusing H-heeseung?" You stuttered,
“I wouldn't lie about this. I swear. Because I care for her!” EJ yelled, “I care for Chaewon."
You went silent, not knowing what to say. Your lack of response made him feel uneasy,
"The moment I knew about what they were doing, I couldn’t just let that happen to her. And so I went to the party, to watch over her so nothing can happen. But instead..-” He paused after seeing your expression.
“I’m telling you, I knew you didn’t steal it.”
‘How the fuck?” you scoffed in disbelief. This guy who’s a complete stranger, believes you? What a joke, not even your beloved sister believes a word you said. So how could he?
“Because I went through the same thing too when I was a kid,” a low scoff left his mouth. “It wasn’t a good memory. And I’m telling you, I know how you feel. But don’t let it get through you, you know? I saw how you went through all of it for the past few weeks ago-”
Your eyes widened upon hearing what he said, “W-what do you mean?”
“To be honest, I don’t know what you were doing, I assumed you were looking for someone? but I was just checking on you after the incident.. It just didn’t feel right to leave you all alone after what happened.. And I was right, you randomly passed out on the street-”
“Wait, you were there!?”
“Yeah, and I had to carry you all the way to the shop which was.. A bit tiring-”
“Shut up.” You spat out, in which he chuckled.
“Although I have to admit, you really got that determination, don't you? You still got up even after you got sick on the street.”
“Wait, was that you?” your mouth hangs slightly low, surprised that it was him. Then you quickly look at his wrist, that watch. The same watch, it was him.
“Was it that surprising?” He chuckles, “You shouldn’t really push yourself that hard though, Chaewon won’t be really happy with it.”
“I don’t know..” you said in a low voice, gazing out of the window.
“If you really wanted to help then why don’t you tell her yourself?”
Then he scoffed, "You think I didn't? Of course I did. But she won't believe me! She completely believes that guy."
"She told me I was lying and that I was trying to ruin their relationship.".... “That’s why I’m also here, because you’re Chaewon’s sister and I have to tell you about it-”
“So you want me to tell her instead?” you gestured towards yourself.
“Yeah-”
You scoffed, “Then you’re so wrong, even my sister doesn’t believe me so it’s all pointless.”
“But are you really going to let her get fooled by them?”
“Of course not!” You glared at him, he smiled in response, taking a deep breath.
““And you know what?” he looked at you again, “It didn’t really sit well with me that Heeseung was defending you over everything.
"Just be very careful around him."
“How can I be sure that this is a drug and that he was drugging me?” you showed him the pill on your palm.
“Since I was curious about where you might’ve been, like I didn’t really see you anywhere,I found out that you got admitted here. But then I saw him, with that old lady. That nurse-” it suddenly hits you when flashbacks of the nurse who drew blood from you for the blood tests. Eyes wide as you look at him, “He gave something to the nurse, at first it didn’t really bother me.. But then I keep seeing them once in a while, doing the same thing over and over again.”
You gulped, unable to believe what you had just heard. “But why would he do that?”
“I don’t know.. But whatever he’s planning, it’s clearly not good.”
"I really don't know if I can trust you about that.." a part of you refuses to believe that Heeseung was doing that to you. Not when he had already been by your side, protecting you from everything. It can't be.
"Wait, do you like him?" Your eyes widened when you heard that from him.
"No, I don't." EJ hummed in response, believing you so fast. Cause afterall,
"Okay, I know this is hard to believe. But really, I swear if I'm lying. You'll know. So please believe me."
"If your hallucinations and everything still doesn’t stop even when you no longer take those meds, then I'll leave. So please.." EJ begging you with his eyes, his jaw clenching as he looks for any response from you.
Believe me. That sentence echoes through your mind. The same sentence that you often say but were ignored. Looking at EJ's eyes, what could go possibly wrong in believing him? You'll eventually find out whether he's lying about the drugs or not. “So what are we going to do now?” you asked.
“I’ll help you.”
“How?”
“I’ll help you get out of this place, as soon as I can. It will take awhile, but after we get you out. We have to take your sister as well, and then we’ll tell her everything.”
“That’s gonna take a hell lot of work.” You scoffed, you just knew what would happen again once you meet your sister. She is far too lovesick with Heeseung for her to even believe you, but..
“But we can’t give up so easily, right?” he raised his eyebrow, waiting for your response. You stare at him for a while and then nodded in response, in which he smiled.
"What's your name by the way?" you asked suddenly.
"Me?" He pointed at himself, you nodded again. "god, how did I even forget that. EJ, just call me EJ."
"EJ.." you said it in a low voice, taking his name in.
—
Since then, EJ has been visiting you secretly. And you tried your best to avoid eating the ‘meds’ the nurse has been giving you. It goes on for about a few days like this, and what he said was true. Your headaches, and everything was gone. Looking at yourself in the mirror, you notice how you look so much better than before. Was it really true? Was Heeseung really drugging you?
You wanted to believe EJ,
But the hardest part was Heeseung himself, even when he visits sometimes because he’s getting busy with his studies, the fact that you still have to pretend like you know nothing while talking with him hurts you. You wanted to ask, why? Why was he doing it? And for some reason, you wanted to ask him yourself if it was true or not, you wanted to hear it from his own mouth, and that he’ll say no. Your heart and your mind were in chaos as you felt both anger and sadness.
Anger because of that fucking deal he had with his friends, clenching your fists as to how he were capable to plan such thing to your sister.
But then came your sadness, your heart broken that all his cheerful smiles and all the things he did for you was all fake. Because you were still in denial, unable to accept it.
You don’t know what to do. The complete difference of how ‘innocent’ he looks sometimes makes you doubt EJ, just how can Heeseung do that to you? Why would he? For what?
You stare at Heeseung’s back as he was fixing the flower pots on the window, the sunlight shines over his face making him look so ethereal and angelic, you couldn’t believe that he was even capable of doing such a thing. You really don’t want to.
“Heeseung?” you finally let out, after a moment of hesitance.
“Hm?” he hummed in response, turning his head to look at you. Your heart immediately stops, after seeing those innocent eyes.
‘Is it true?’ you pressed your lips tight, asking the question in your head as he stares at you, waiting for you to say something. ‘That you were drugging me?’
“Is there something wrong?” his soft voice snaps you out from your dilemma, tilting his head as his eyebrows were knit together along with his concern expression.
“N-nothing!” you blurted out, smiling wide.
“Are you sure?”
You nodded with a cheerful smile on your face, assuring him that it was nothing. He lets out a small ‘okay’, smiling sweetly to you in return, turning his attention back to the flower pots. Your face falls, the smile leaving your face, when you realize just what you had initially thought to ask him.
—
You gaze out of the window once again, sighing heavily because you were still in a dilemma. Today was finally the day EJ would come and take you out of the hospital, and you were supposed to be happy about it, happy that you were no longer stuck in this hell, however you feel guilty that you’re going to leave without Heeseung knowing about it. Biting your lips, you mentally cursed yourself as to why you were still thinking about him? Why won’t you still believe the fact that he was doing all those stuffs behind you and your sister?
Why? Why? Why?
“(Name)?” you were immediately snapped out of your deep thoughts when EJ appears beside you. “We have to go now.”
Extending his hand for you to grab it, you hesitated for a moment in which he notices but he patiently waits. Clearing your throat, you nodded, taking his hands as he guided you out of the door and all the way till you finally exited the hospital. The cold air greeting you along with the night sky, you somehow felt uneasy, afraid that something soon might happen.
“I know you’re worried, but it’s okay. You can trust me.” EJ grips your hand just slightly, enough to warm your hand. “After this, we’ll meet your sister, ok?”
You nodded, reassuring yourself with his words. You’re doing this for your sister, yes. You were doing it for her, you can’t let her get fooled and fall into that hellhole. You can’t, so you have to stay strong and get rid of this feelings, and-
“(Name)?”
As if there was a strong force that immediately pulls you back to its world, you halt your steps, heart beating so fast the moment you hear him. You knew it was him.
“Where are you g- .. You?" unable to turn yourself to look at him in fear that you might end up getting soft-hearted again was eating you, however you still manage to caught on his voice surprised to see EJ. “What the fuck are you doing here?”
“(Name), let’s just go.” he ignores Heeseung, pulling you with him as he continues to walk to the street again.
“(Name)! Where are you going!?” he immediately rushes in, grabbing your hand preventing you EJ from pulling you with him any further. “What the fuck you doing here!?”
“Well I don't know, why don’t you ask her?”
“(Name), where are you going with this guy?”
“It’s none of your business, Heeseung. Now please let go.” you lowered your eyes, not wanting to see his face.
“No! Why would i? Let you go? With this guy?” Heeseung exclaimed, “You haven’t known him that long, he could be dangerous for god knows how!”
“And how about you!?”
“W-what?” he knitted his eyebrows together, confused.
“Stop pretending, I knew you were fooling us. Me and my sister!” you scoffed, “I can’t believe it!”
“What are you saying? I don’t understand..”
“Oh god! Stop pretending! We already know!”
“I-i don't understand what you’re saying!”
“For fuck’s sake, stop lying.” EJ spat out.
“Why were you doing that to me?” you cried out, your heart breaking as he looked at you with that innocent eyes.
“What did I do?” … “What else could I be doing!?” Heeseung exclaimed.
“Y-you were drugging me..” you almost want to vomit when you let out those words, and Heeseung’s eyes widened in fraction.
“W-what are you talking about? Drug you? Why would I do that!?” he exclaimed in surprise.
“Ask yourself!” you cried out, “You’re the only one who knows why you were doing such a thing to me!”
“God! (Name)! Why would I even think to do that to you in the first place!? How!? Drug you!?” Heeseung exclaimed, “Who told you that?”
Then he snaps his head into EJ’s direction, “This guy?”
“Why would that even matter? Why? Was it true?’
“I swear to god! No! Why would I drug you? For what?” Heeseung grabs both your arms, pulling you closer to him, “Tell me! You couldn’t possibly believe him, could you?” he looked into your eyes, and your heart felt a hit of pang when you saw how his innocent eyes were breaking in front of you. He seems so innocent. You’ve reminded yourself that he was lying, he’s definitely lying., but why did you feel something that was pulling you towards him? This stupid feelings. And along with all of that, you feel guilty for him.
You couldn’t say anything, as he looked at you with that expression, “(Name), say something.”
“Man, stop with all that bullshit.” EJ finally speaks up, trying to release you from Heeseung’s grasp.
Heeseung aggressively hits his hands away, “What are you trying to do? Why were you spreading lies about me?”
“Lies? So was it a lie that I heard from you back there?” EJ clenched his jaw, approaching him.
“What’s your plan, huh?” Heeseung spat out. Hitting EJ on his chest repeatedly,
“P-plan? I might as well ask you that, what’s your plan? Certainly not something good right?” EJ asked.
“Heeseung, stop!!”
“How could you believe him instead of me!?” “He could be lying for all god knows!” he turned to you again, surprise etched all over his face as he grabbed your arms once again.
“Don’t touch me, I really can’t believe it. You’re a liar. You were fooling us!” you slapped his arms away.
“(name)!” Heeseung exclaimed, tears welling up in his eyes which surprised you. “You can’t do this to me, you just met him and you already believe all that he said!?”
“Just why were you spreading lies about me?” he glares at EJ. “What could I possibly have done to you!”
“Tell me!” Heeseung cried out.
You were shocked to see him cry, it was something new. You’ve never seen him cried, and it breaks your heart to see him that way.
“Don’t you trust me!?” tears keeps flooding down to his cheeks as he looked up to you, you shook your head.
“No..” your heart broke, approaching Heeseung in small steps.
“How could you do this to me? (Name)?” he cried with his hands on his face.
“Don’t! He’s using your words against you.” EJ grabs you from behind, shaking his head. “You should know better! He’s lying!”
“B-but..” you hesitated, looking back and forth to Heeseung and then to EJ.
“Tell me! EJ! I really can’t believe you, just because Chaewon rejects you.. I can’t believe you are trying to get it back on her sister and me!”
“Shut the fuck up, don’t try to make this about that when it’s clearly not.”
“Wait, w-what?” your ears perked up to what Heeseung said.
“You didn’t know? He confessed to Chaewon in front of the public, but she rejected him so bad that we all pity him..” said Heeseung while tears flow down to his cheeks. “But what I wouldn't expect was you were capable of doing something like this! How can you do this to us!?”
“Shut the fuck up!” EJ yelled.
“---So you’re going all over the way here and trying to fool her sister? To fool (Name)? To get back on Chaewon for humiliating you?” Heeseung tilted his head.
“Shut up! Lee Heeseung!”
“W-what? What are you saying?” you look up to EJ, pulling your hand out of his grasp.
“This is not about that!” EJ yelled. “(Name)!”
“Is it true!?” you asked.
He fell silent, and you took a few steps backwards, shocked over the revelation.
“But it was fine for me! Please believe me! That doesn’t change the fact that I still like her or that I want to pay back for what she did, please trust me!”
“(Name)! Don’t believe him! He’s lying. You know better.” Heeseung cried out to you.
You were in a serious dilemma. Who the fuck is lying? Which one? Should you choose the guy who has defended you and trust you all this time? Or the guy who had taken care of you from behind the curtains? Who was lying!? You stood still, as your head started to grow dizzy again, unable to decide.
“God! Don’t believe him, he’s trying to fool you into staying with him!” EJ exclaimed in desperation as he noticed your hesitance,
EJ pulls your arm, "let's go! (name)!"
But Heeseung stops you both, grabbing your hand which EJ was holding too. "You're not going anywhere."
"Let go of her, who are you trying to fool here, huh?" Heeseung aggressively pulls you out from EJ’s grasp, making you wince in pain.
“I should be the one who’s asking you that!” EJ spats out, “You’re obviously turning it all about me, you bastard! (Name), don’t believe what he said! This is not about that!”
Heeseung shakes his head, "I can't believe you're doing this to me, EJ."
“Shut the fuck up! Stop acting so fucking innocent even when you're not!" ” EJ yelled at the top of his lungs, “That’s not what I'm here for! I’m protecting her! From you!”
“Protect her? Who even are you? Her brother? And what would Chaewon think that you’re here? Talking with her sister, and then taking her somewhere.” Heeseung asked, “Fuck, even she would ask you what the fuck you were doing around with (Name).”
“You.” EJ exclaimed, pointing his fingers at Heeseung. “You’re obviously turning things around-”
“(Name)! He’s obviously manipulating you! The more you talk with him, the more-” he approaches you, trying to take your arms. You were in a dilemma. You don’t know who to trust.
“I told you to stay the fuck away!” Heeseung roughly pushed him by his chest, making him take a few steps backwards.
“You stay the fuck away, son of a bitch!” EJ spat out, “I’m not letting (Name) stay with a guy like you!” growing desperate, EJ approaches you again trying to take your arm.
“(Name)! Get back on your senses! We have to go!”
“When i say stay the fuck away, stay the fuck away from her!” Heeseung delivers a strong punch towards EJ’s face, resulting in you screaming.
“Heeseung, stop!”
EJ hissed in pain, wiping off the blood of his mouth
“You’re not going to take her anywhere.” Heeseung spat out, standing in front of EJ. “I can’t believe you, after all we had done for you, you’re doing this!? To Chaewon?”
“I’m doing all of this to protect her from you! You and your stupid deal with your shitty friends!” EJ pointed at him as he stood up again.
“Why are you making up lies about me? What deal? What are you saying? What are you getting from this!?” Heeseung cried out.
“Ah, fuck. Im fucking done with you spewing nonsense shit. Talking won’t get this done-” EJ was so pissed, that he saw nothing but red. He punches Heeseung resulting in him falling on the ground.
“Guys, stop!” you screamed as you approached them both, trying to pull EJ away from Heeseung. “EJ! Stop! Please!”
“Chaewon would be so disappointed in you, that you have to go this far just to get back on her." Heeseung hissed, "EJ! This is not you, you can't betray us like this." Heeseung cries.
"Stop mentioning her name!" He hit him again.
"We thought you change, I really did.. but why?"
"You're such a manipulative piece of shit-" EJ pulls away from your grasp, making you fall backwards on the ground.
He pulls Heeseung by his collar, forcing him to stand up, “I get if you’re mad at Chaewon but you should’t bring her sister over this!”
“Talk to yourself, you piece of shit! I saw everything! I heard everything!” EJ gripped his collar so tight, it starts to choke Heeseung.
"Stop! EJ! Please!" You exclaimed ,your heart aching to see Heeseung get beaten up so badly, why aren't you defending yourself!?
“Okay if you won’t trust me! But (Name), don’t trust this guy either!” EJ exclaimed and turned to look at you, “He’s obviously drugging you! Remember?”
“I can’t believe you..” Heeseung shakes his head upon hearing that , making EJ punch him in the face resulting in him falling on the ground.
You tried to stop them but it seems anything you do or say were left to deaf ears. Things had heated up so much between them and you really don't know what to do already. Your head grows dizzy again, as you knelt to your chest bringing your hands to your head clasping them. Not wanting to hear anything more, you groaned in pain.
“Just please stop..” your vision was growing blurry only being able to see the hazy figure of EJ punching Heeseung on the ground. “It hurts. .”
“(Name)?” They start to notice your horrible state with you on sitting on the floor while putting your hands on your head, as EJ finally pushes Heeseung on the ground, making his way to you.
“(Name)? What’s wrong!?” EJ exclaimed in concern as he slowly approached you, leaving Heeseung on the ground, beaten up quite badly. However he immediately halted his steps when he heard a low chuckle from behind him.
"Ah fuck, piece of shit.. you're really irritating me." Heeseung chuckles through his cries, scratching his neck as his expression was replaced with amusement while his mouth was bleeding due to EJ’s constant punches. Raising his head slowly, looking up with tears in his eyes, "Just why are you sticking your nose in other people’s business, you bastard?"
EJ’s eyes widened, turning his torso to look at Heeseung who was now, staring at him back but with a completely different demeanor. “What?”
“Aren’t you such a fucking fool trying to act like the shining knight in his armor?” Heeseung tilted his head, with his expression clearly amused.
“You know, it’s really amusing that you even approached Chaewon in the first place, but–” his eyes darkened, “Why the fuck did you even think to get close to (Name)?”
“You’re really digging your own grave, aren’t you?”
“So you’re already showing your true nature, you son of a bitch.” EJ spat out approaching him, and pulling him up on his feet by tugging his collar again. “Do you still think (Name) will believe you after I tell her about this?”
A chilling laugh escaped from Heeseung’s mouth, “Yah, you bastard. Wanna bet?”
“H-huh?”
“Do you actually think you'll get out of this alive?”
“What? What are you saying?”
“Just where do you think we are now, you fool?” Heeseung chuckled.
—
You watched them as everything seemed to go in slow motion, with them gripping each other's collars, they were saying something to each other but your ears can’t hear anything but muffled sounds. But what you can’t seem to understand was..
EJ’s expression. Fear was what you can see on his face. Why?
“Y-you… let.. Go-” you can’t hear what he was saying, the more you try to make sense of what he said, the more it makes your head grow more painful. Closing your eyes tightly amidst all the chaos, you can hear your own breathing and your heartbeat, along with the loud ticks that you can’t seem to know where you’re hearing it from, and along with it you then hear something.
A loud crash.
You then heard an ear-piercing scream from other people, immediately covering your ears again with your hands.
Silence.
With your eyes slowly looking up, you're met with a horrifying sight of blood pooling out on the ground, dripping from them..
Blood.
Face contorting into disgust and fear, with your heartbeat quickening so loud you can hear within your ears. Breathing slowly growing rush and stuffy, you wanted to scream as you looked at their body—
NO!
'This is a dream!'
'I must be hallucinating.'
'This must be the drugs. Yes! This must be the drugs!'
'Yes! It must be the drugs. It has happened before!"
'I'm hallucinating, I'm hallucinating, I'm hallucinating.'
You covered your ears with your hands, slowly moving them over to your eyes, pressing it firmly.
'please go away, please go away, go away!' you repeatedly prayed in your mind, for your hallucinations to stop.
"Oh my god!"
"Call the ambulance!"
"Help!"
"Someone help! Please!"
Your heart sank hearing those words. Slowly lowering your hands from your eyes, the bright light your eyes making you squint. You blinked repeatedly to fix your blurry vision and you are met with the exact same horrifyingly sickening sight again making your heart sink.
It wasn’t a hallucination. You weren’t hallucinating. It was real.
The realization finally dawns on you as you start to feel a growing pool inside your stomach, making you nauseous. Tears welling up in your eyes, mouth trembling as you finally lifted your feet away from the ground you've been frozen on for what seems like eternity.
Loud and rush steps grow even louder behind you as people start to approach the two unconscious bodies laying on the floor, multiple sounds ringing in your ears with the murmurs and calls of help from people around you.
Quick breaths along with sniffles, you finally let out a gut-wrenching scream,
"No!!"
