Chapter 14: Jackson Cult
A moment later, you understood. Nayeon was letting you view her past, just as you had told her it wasn't okay to keep it all to herself.
Your eyes sprung open gently, realizing that you were unconscious in the middle of your time with Nayeon.
"You're back?" Said Nayeon in her clear, low voice that immediately snaps you to reality.
Your head leaned on her shoulder a Nayeon held you gently to keep you composed and comfortable, stroking at the back of your hair and her mouth next to your ears. It's as if she was a mother that confronted her child.
"What just..." You pull away in shock and you find yourself in mixed feelings upon being transported to her past.
Nayeon tilts her head, "You okay? I didn't hurt you, did I?"
Hearing Nayeon's concerned voice, your eyes gaze at her. You deeply feel emotional, and it felt like there's something you should do.
Without a warning, you pull her closer into a sudden warm hug, catching her off guard as she gasps.
"Wh-what are you doing suddenly?" Nayeon blushes.
"Sorry... I feel like... I feel like you need it!"
Nayeon's smile is a smile of loneliness. She is grateful to have received a hug for the first time. Beyond grateful. All of the burdens had dissipated from her shoulder and chest.
"Thank you, Y/N, but..." Her hand grabs your shoulder to pull you away. "I must go,"
You grit your teeth, trying to be strong so you won't let her push you away. "I... don't want you to go!"
Nayeon gasps.
"Jeongyeon too, and everyone else! This isn't the past anymore where you are hated by everyone! We love you! If possible, I will have to suffer with you! You won't be alone,"
"No...! Anything but that!"
"Then, let's get the hell out of here!" You are suddenly forceful unintentionally, jumping to the window with Nayeon.
"Huh?!" She wheezes.
You reach for her wrists in an attempt to keep her safe and look around to find the Killer.
"Area clear! Let's run ahead to the concert!ー"
As you were about to run, a spear was thrown to block your path and halts in flabbergasted.
"Where are you going?" It's her, wearing the same costume as Jeongyeon.
You and Nayeon turned your back.
"Move aside, or you'll get yourself killed too. That's what we agreed with, right Nayeon?"
She had no weapon to threaten you as it was pierced through the ground that completely stopped you from escaping Nayeon.
Leaving no other choice, you stood up for her and protect Nayeon. "Come at me if you can,"
"Whoever gets in my way will be punished the same way," The girl walks.
