Y/n's POV

After dinner, I was pacing back and forth in my bedroom with Taehyun seated on my bed with a bored look.

"Stop moving so much I'll get dizzy." He grumbles and I abruptly stop and look him in the eye.

"Well, what would you do if your best friend wasn't picking your calls, answering your texts and not come to school?" I asked. "I would go to her home and check." He asnwers simply.

Aw darn

"Why didn't I think of that?" I say grabbing my jacket and hastily putting my shoes on while Taehyun just watched.

"I'm coming with." He states and goes out of my room and returns with his jacket and a baseball hat. "You don't really have to come tae." I say while flipping the light switches off. "As if I'm going to let you, a girl, go out in the middle of the night." He says rolling his eyes. I secretly smiled at his thoughtfulness and hooked my hand onto his.

"Off we go!"

The two of us made our way outside and began to walk. I had this very uneasy feeling in my stomach that something was wrong and it just wouldn't settle. Taehyun seemed to notice.

"Don't worry Y/n Chae will be fine." He said and I sighed. Taehyun went and stood behind be and began to press my shoulders. "Are you a professional?" I asked clearly enjoying the massage. Taehyun just chuckled in response. But soon enough his massages turned into tickling.

I wanted to control my laugh especially since it was really quiet on the street and my laugh would just wake everyone on the street up.

"BAHAHAHAAHAHAHA." I burst into loud laughter making Taehyun laugh too. After he was satisfied watching me suffer he stopped and returned to my side.

"I hate you." I say wiping my tears which had formed because of excessive laughing.

We continued walking in silence, goofing around at times till we finally reached Chaeyoung's house.

Me and Taehyun stood in front of her door contemplating on who should knock.

"You." Taehyun said and looked away.

"Nu-uh" I say and look away too.

We stood like that for about five minutes before I finally gave in and knocked thrice on her door. "Chae? It me! Y/n!" I whisper loudly.

No answer

My anxiety levels began to rise. I squeezed Taehyun's hand.

"Wait, doesn't she keep a spare key under one of her plants?" I say in realisation and walk to the line of potted plants that were in her porch. Carefully lifting one of them and exclaiming when my hand touched cold metal.

"Thank heavens it's still here." I say and slowly insert the key into the lock and twist it. I pocketed the key and Taehyun entered first.

"It's so quiet it's creepy." He whispers and I nod in agreement still trudging through the darkness.

This reminded me of the time when I was sneaking out of Chaeyoung's house and then stubbed my toe-

Yeah let's not go there

"This is giving me serious deja vu." I say. Taehyun didn't seem to understand but doesn't question me either.

Taehyun finally finds the light switch and flips it lighting up the entire living room. We both looked around but we saw nothing suspicious.

That is until I saw a hand behind the couch.

I gasped loudly. Taehyun looked at me and followed my gaze to the couch and he gasped too.

"I-is that Chaeyoung?" I asked, fear evident in my voice. "Let's check.." Taehyun said walking towards the couch while I trailed behind him. Both of us kneeled on the soft cushions of the couch and bent our heads over and gasped even louder.

Chaeyoung was there sleeping while clutching her stomach. She looked pale. Like really pale. She was surrounded by many tissue boxes and bottles of pills.

"Oh my god Chae!" I exclaim and hop off the couch and next to my bestfriend's limp body.

"T-tae call the ambulance." I said feeling my heart rate go up. Taehyun nodded. "You'll be okay Chae hang in there." I say.

Just don't die on me like everyone
