Dream Writer [COMPLETED]

CHAPTER 25

            They spent hours there. Wonwoo still tried to make Daniel comfortable as he took a nap. The sky was already dark. Wonwoo glanced at Daniel before turning to the fire again. He managed to catch a few fish at a nearby stream and put them beside fire.

"Wonwoo"

Wonwoo's head snapped to Daniel as he heard his whisper. Wonwoo ran beside him. Daniel's breathing was unstable. Wonwoo held onto his hand to check his pulse. It was too weak he couldn't barely felt any pulse. Daniel struggled to breathe.

"Dan" Wonwoo held onto his hand. He started to blink back tears. His heart shattered to pieces.

"Find... Gyuri...." Daniel whispered. "I will" Wonwoo nodded. He held his hand tighter, holding onto the promise he just made.

Daniel's grip onto Wonwoo's hand started to loosen.

"Daniel! Daniel!" Wonwoo called for him.

Daniel's eyes were closed and his hand released Wonwoo's grip.

"N..no!" Wonwoo began to tremble. He shook Daniel. No reply.

"Daniel! Daniel!" Wonwoo shouted his name, but will never receive any reply from that call.

A tear dropped onto the paper. The last sentence of the paragraph on the paper written

Daniel couldn't last the night. Since he lost lots of blood. He died a lonely death.

Gyuri's hand holding the pens shook so much she had to put her hand away from the paper. A laugh broke the melancholic situation. Gyuri lifted her head to Jinyoung beside her. He met eyes with her and saw her hatred glare on him. Jinyoung pouted and caressed her head. Gyuri quickly warded off his hand.

"Why are you crying? You are the only one who kill him" Jinyoung leaned in and whispered. "With your own hands"

Tears of anger and sadness dropped down Gyuri's cheeks. She glared at him. Jinyoung giggled. "Anyway, good work, dear writer" He stood. "I'll see you tomorrow morning then" He fixed his clothes and left the room. The room was locked.

That night, Gyuri couldn't close her eyes. She sat beside the wide barred windows of the room. Tears fell onto the floor. She turned her head out the window. An old tress was there accompanying her. She pushed open the window a tad. Wind blew into the room. A few leaves managed to make its way into the room. Her fingers trailed to the leaves on the floor. She couldn't hold her sobs and wailed with her knees brought up.

Gyuri turned to the other side of her bed. The sun almost rise. A weak whisper escaped her lips. "What am I going to do now?" *Is it really over? What would Felix tell me if he saw me defeated like this? I killed his beloved Tim* She forced herself to close her eyes and slept.

Wonwoo turned to the other side. His eyes slowly blinked open. *Daniel!* He sat up and looked around. He was the only person around there. *Wait* he stood and looked behind some tree nearby. "What the-" *Where is this guy?*

His steps stopped. *He's gone. Why would I worry about him anymore?* He shook his head, realizing his false thought. *Daniel is our friend! I should handle him even he's gone!* "But where is his body?"

Wonwoo continued to run around the woods, looking around frantically. Gyuri's image came into his mind. Tears finally streamed down his cheeks. He swallowed the lump and wiped his tears with his arms. *I don't know how to tell Gyuri about Daniel's passing. No. I can't even imagine if ever meet her*

There was a sudden loud bang. Wonwoo fell on his back. "Aish" he was about to look up.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

Wonwoo's head snapped to the voice. "Daniel!"

"Hey" Daniel was standing there, completely healthy as always, with a wide grin on his face. "Yah!" Wonwoo ignored Daniel who was offering to help him get up. He stood quickly and held onto Daniel's shoulder. Wonwoo spun him around. "But yesterday... you..."

Daniel chuckled. "I know. I should be dead" Wonwoo pushed him away. He narrowed his eyes at him. "You're a zombie right?" "What?" Daniel chuckled. "What's that?"

"A ghost! You're a ghost!" Wonwoo was pointing at him. "Wonwoo, it's really me!" Daniel laughed. "What are you blabbering about this early morning?"

"But your barely made it last night" "I know" Daniel smiled with a sigh. "I must have made you worry. I'm sorry"

"What the- Come here you!" Wonwoo slung his arm onto his neck, attempted to lock him. Daniel laughed. "Get lost, weirdo!"

Wonwoo smirked and ruffled his head. "I'm so happy that you're back, Dan" "Same here" Daniel replied.

They walked into the woods, looking for anything to eat.

"But how can you survive?" Wonwoo asked. Daniel glanced at him and shrugged. "I have a feeling that Gyuri sent help" he smirked.
