15 Reasons Not To Die || Choi Yeonjun

17; (Part 2)

"Do you have a brother?" y/n asked in a serious monotone voice while looking up straight into his eyes.

He doesn't know why but a sudden faster pace of his heart beats. His mouth dried up as his mouth agape trying to answer her question with a truthful answer, but seemingly there are no words coming out from his mouth, as if his mouth has its own mind that controlled him not to speak.

y/n was just looking at him, anticipating for what he's going to say. Not until a hand covered his eyes that made him lay his back onto that someone who suddenly covered his eyes, "Yeonjunie!!" an obviously acting-cute voice stated from behind.

Yeonjun irritatingly yanked the hand that was covering his eyes and turned his back to face that someone, only to find out it was none other than his childish friend, Huening Kai.

"ouch! That hurts!" Huening Kai pouted while pulling out his hand away from Yeonjun's tight grasp. When he saw y/n beside Yeonjun, he automatically smiled and waved his almost red hands at her "hi y/n!"

She only smiled at him and waved back and unexpectedly, she walked passed them without even uttering any word or bid goodbyes with them. Leaving the two, confused and perplexed.

"Is something wrong with her? She looks sad.... what did you do to her!?" Huening Kai gave his older friend a death glare while jokingly grabbing onto his collar.

Yeonjun, however, was only staring at y/n's back, an obvious sadness is clearly visible in the way her shoulders are all down and from the way she walks with her head down. Yeonjun wanted to comfort her, or follow her like what she always do whenever he's always at his worst. But there's something that is keeping him away from further following her and comforting her, an unidentified reason that he couldn't explain himself.

........

The whole day came very unusual. Yeonjun didn't saw y/n elsewhere when the lunch time occurred, when infact he always sees y/n in the cafeteria and will ask him to join her in lunch everyday. Yeonjun even waited for her outside her room but he never saw her walking outside of it even once.

When the dismissal bell already rang, everybody inside the school vanished in an instant. But he didn't saw y/n, again. He was walking slow along the hallway, hands inside his pockets while looking all down on the concrete floor, when all of a sudden, right in the corner of his eyes, he caught something weird right above the building across the building he's in right now.

Not too long enough when he realized that there is someone standing on the railings of the rooftop, aiming to jump from an 8 floor building. He was stunned the moment he saw that kind of view that he even remembered himself on that kind of situation. But he was shocked the most when he saw that it was a girl, and that girl is someone familiar to him to the point he already recognized her in an instant.

He didn't hesitate any longer, he quickly run at full speed towards the rooftop while his heart is beating faster in an abnormal race, nervous on what might have happen to her if it's already to late to save her.

In just a span of some minutes, he already reached the rooftop and even kicked on the door to open it abruptly, running to wherever y/n was standing at. Once he finally saw her, he immediately run towards her and pull her out of the railings, catching her fully in his arms, as he landed her safely on the ground.

"Are you damn crazy!?" He asked, angrily. Even raising his voice as he couldn't take his emotions any longer but to explode it right in front of her.

y/n's eyes widened when she realized it was Yeonjun who pulled her out from the railings and even catching her safely, but she was more than surprise enough to his outburst reaction, he even pulled her into a hug that made her eyes completely all widened as she couldn't tell if she have to hug him back or not. She can feel his heart beating so fast, and she doesn't understand why he's being like this.

"You're telling me reasons not to die! Yet you're the one who doesn't even listen to yourself!" she heard him yelled, scolding her like as if she's his daughter.

She have no clue what made him pushed in this kind of reaction, and she didn't even get to ask him since she was too distracted by Yeonjun's tightened hug. Soon enough she got comfortable with the hug, as she finally calmed down over the realization that maybe somehow, she's special to Yeonjun in order for him to react something like this. She felt his comforting hug, although he was the one who needed the comfort so badly. She raised her hands and patter his back as she started hugging him back.

"i'm not jumping. I don't have any plans to die young" she stated as a chuckle came out from her lips.

Yeonjun realized that the hug might had been causing her to suffocate, so he broke the hug and looked down at her with his still worried eyes, "T-then why are you standing there!?"

"I just want to touch the sky" she looked down and pouted.

"An 8 floor building won't be enough, y/n."

"I know... but somehow, I want to whisper something to my sister. And thought that this height might be enough for her to listen" she said, still looking down embarrassedly.

Yeonjun looked at her, he's still worried, but somehow her explanation came a lot sense to him that he finally had himself calmed down.

"You scared me" he mumbled weakly, but enough for y/n to hear it clearly, as she laughed with what Yeonjun said.

She heave a deep sigh of relief, as she patted his shoulder, now being able to show Yeonjun her genuine and true smile again. Reallt had no idea at all how much it impacted a fragile young man in front of her.

"I'm fine now." She smiled.

she stated something that made Yeonjun's heart beats faster even more,  while she's looking straight into Yeonjun's eyes.
"it's just a bad day... a bad week... a bad month... a bad year..."

"but not a bad life" she added, shrugging. Walking passed by Yeonjun.

She twisted the door open to walk down from the rooftop, but soon enough she noticed that Yeonjun wasn't behind her, so she turned her back again to face him only to find out that he's still on the same exact location where she left him speechless there, "Yah! Yeonjun!"

"let's go now before the guard closed the school gate!" she yelled at him which made him get back to his senses and realized he had been spacing out for a minute now.

He looked at y/n, and nodded as a genuine smile crept on his handsome face.
