No one's PoV

*1 month after*

Dahyun and Mina is now on their way to another cliff that Dahyun had in her list.
They've been trying to find different cliffs once a week for a month already.

"Don't you think they are already suspecting us ? " Mina spoke as they are quiet the whole ride. She's just looking at the window.

Dahyun didn't answer.

"Nayeon and Chae. They are looking at me the whole set. Like they are suspecting for something." Mina spoke again, but this time looking at the younger with worried eyes.

She's afraid that the younger might get caught because of her. With the times they spent together for the past few weeks, they really got closer to each other, though they will just stand there at the cliff (sometimes not cliff because they failed to find one so they'll stay at a park instead) not really talking but just feeling the surroundings. Mina will ask KD if she feel like she remembers somethings and the latter just shaking her head with a sigh then fell into silence.  They just felt comfortable with each other that they feel like they knew each other for a long time.

"Then? Just don't mind them. It's okay if they know that I'm always with you. As long as they wouldn't know that we are trying to make myself remember." The younger answered, looking at the older's eyes reassuring her that it will just be fine, before focusing at the road again.

The older just sighed and nodded before fixing her gaze outside the window once again.

'I'm starting to think that you and my friend is really the same... But that's impossible. She's already... Dead.'  Mina thought to herself.

*flashback*

Mina's PoV

"MINA UNNIE!"

"Mina-yah! What are you doing? Let's go!"
I was grabbed by my friend jeongyeon from where I was standing.

"Dahyun-ah!?" I shouted as I think I just heard her.

"Hey, wait up! I think I heard someone calling for me." I said as I look back from where I was standing earlier.

"We are late for our meeting with the club already! They won't start without us--no! witout you there!" She exclaimed that made me sigh and just let myself be dragged by this ostrich.

The meeting ended and it was just fine. They just announced about our upcoming play and as always, I am the lead actress again. I'm a part of a drama club in our school, I just found myself love, acting. Specially, because of someone I know... My first love...my bestfriend.

Speaking of her... Earlier, I think I just heard her voice call me, but I didn't saw her. I don't understand myself, she's at states far away from here.

I'm on my way home and I don't know why but I got this feeling that something bad is happening. I checked my watch and it's already 6:30pm.

"Mom would scold me already." I mumbled to myself as I walk faster.

As I arive at the front of our gate, I breathed heavily, readying myself from my mom's scolding. I opened our gate and entered our house.

I expected my mom to scold me but her expression was for from what I expected.
I can also see my dad's face looking sad.
I frowned at them. 

"What happened?" I asked as I walk near them.

"M-mina...D-dahyun- s-she-"

"What's with Dahyun?! What happened!?" I asked raising my voice unconsciously.

Mom looked at me worriedly and I really got a bad feeling about this... What happened to my dubu?

"Mom!! What happened to Dahyun!!??" I asked once again, a tear came down to my cheek.

"S-she happened to got into a-an accident, hon..." Mom said trying to hold my hand.

"How is she? Is she fine? Please tell me she's fine!" I said pleadingly looking down.

"Sorry, hon...but she didn't make it. S-she's gone..." It was my dad who spoke. He walk behind me and hugged me as well as my mom.

Hearing those...I just don't want to believe it. I don't want to....

"NOO!!! YOU'RE LYING!!! SHE'S ALIVE!!! DAHYUN IS ALIVE! MY DUBU IS ALIVE!!!" I bursted out crying. I pushed them away and locked myself in my room.

"This is not true...this is not happening..." I made myself believe that she's still alive. I held the necklace that she gave me before.

"How will I prove you that I didn't forget you if you'll just leave me like this? I thought we'll meet again? Why are you breaking your promises?" I talked to my necklace as if she's it and she would answer me.

"Unnie! What's your dream?" Dahyun asked me while she's laying down in my lap, with closed eyes.

"I want to be an actress someday." I answered. "How about you?" I added.

"If your dream is to be an actress. My dream is to be your fan!  I want to watch every single movie you will have and I will be your greatest fan! That's my dream."  She said cutely, as she opened her eyes and look at me.

I giggled.

"That's not even a dream, dubu!" I said as I pinched her cheek.

"It is! That's what I want." She said and pouted.

"Whatever."

"But I want to be singer someday." She said. That made me look at her. " I want to sing a song for you, unnie. Or maybe I'll just become an actress like you so I will be your partner...hehe" she added and smile at me.

"Is it really necessary that I am involved in your dreams?" I asked her .

"IT IS! BECAUSE YOU'RE MY DREAMS!" She raised her voice like a whining baby.

I got flustered with her words. This kid is really something.

"Hey, unnie! I know that I'm cute but you're staring for too long already!" She said at me with her grin.

I looked up immediately as I realized that I'm staring for too long already..

"But unnie, I really want to be your number 1 fan someday. I hope that we become successful someday!" She said and sat up from my lap. She fixed her position and sat beside me.

"I hope too..."

I smiled as I remember that moment.

"Can you still be my number 1 fan, Dahyun-ah?"

That day, I became more passionate with acting. I wanted her to be proud even if she's gone.

I did my best in our play that was announced that day ... I was actually casted by many companies who had watched that play. And that's where I started.

*End of flashback*

I don't know why... but I can see my dubu, everytime I'm with KD.

Her gestures. Her face. Her smile.

I can really see my dubu in her.

But she can't be my dubu. She's gone.

Dubu is Dahyun and KD... she's Kianne Drew.

I sighed at the thought and look at KD who's still busy focusing on the road.

She turned her head to me and frowned.

"Are you okay?" She asked.

"Yes, I'm fine..." I smiled weakly at her, she smiled back.

I miss you, dubu....
