ha chae-rin is a bubble ready to burst. she's a wilting flower on the side of the road, a balloon caught on a fence, just about to fly away. hanging...

chae-rin was in a white room. panicked, she shot up from her sleeping position, screaming a little when she saw her face in the mirror across the room.
she looked pale, lifeless. her eye-bags contrasted with her skin-tone dramatically, making her look like a ghost. suddenly, the memories of what she had done flashed through her head. "holy shit. oh my god, i'm dead," she said aloud. her heart ached at the realisation that she had left him. "park jongseong... i'm so sorry,"
someone chuckled. startled, she faced the direction of the noise, calming down when she saw who it was.
baek kang-hi.
chae-rin's eyes widened. "i'm actually dead,"
kang-hi's melodious laugh that she'd missed so much filled the room. "no, my love. you're not,"
chae-rin tilted her head, "i'm not?"
kang-hi grabbed chae-rin's hand, "why did you try to kill yourself? it's not your time, my love. why would you try to shorten your time?"
chae-rin looked confused. "what do you mean? you told me to, don't you remember?"
kang-hi frowned, "i would never do that,"
chae-rin thought carefully, tears welling in her eyes when she worked it out.
"you're right, you wouldn't," chae-rin spoke softly. all those times... she'd made it all up in her brain. when 'kang-hi' had forced her to choose between two people she loved, when she'd convinced her that jay would leave.
a single tear rolled down her face. "it was me, wasn't it? i was imagining you. god, what have i done?"
"how did you let someone if your head manipulate you?" chae-rin thought, disgusted with herself. "you're so weak,"
kang-hi cupped chae-rin's cheeks, "no, don't cry, my love. it's not your fault. anyone in your position could've done the same. now go back, you have time left. your boyfriend is waiting for you," kang-hi smiled, hiding her disappointment. kang-hi wanted chae-rin to be happy, and if that meant being with jongseong, she wouldn't complain. kang-hi trusted that jongseong would take care of chae-rin.
"boyfriend?"
"park jongseong,"
and just like that, kang-hi disappeared, and chae-rin woke up.
