Prologue

"Seems like he's at it again" my coworker laughed and I directed my eyes towards the door of the small coffee shop.

There he was again. Talking to himself. But as always he seemed to look at someone, even tho there wasn't anyone around him. Every second day this interesting boy enters the shop and buys 2 coffee lattes and 3 ice coffees.

"Do you all want the usual?" The boy smiled around him and looked at me, nodding.

I smiled politely, ignoring the stupid comments of my coworkers. To them he seemed insane. To me he seemed lonely. A feeling that I know too well.

"There you go sweetie, 2 coffee lattes and 3 ice coffees" I smiled, reaching him the bag and he blushed slightly.

"Yes I know she called me sweetie!!" He whispered to his right and seemed visibly flustered. He really must be very lonely..

"Have a nice day!" I grinned and he bowed thankfully before leaving the shop.

As I turned around I looked straight into my coworkers eyes. As usual she just looked at me in disgust.

"How can you act so normal around that freak?" She hissed and laughed hysterically.

I raised my eyebrows and silently passed by her.

My shift was over, I don't have any reason to keep talking to her so I ignored her words and walked straight up towards the employees room to change into my regular clothes again.

"How can she treat her customers so disrespectfully .." I groaned, looking at the street, driving a bit faster. The buildings around me disappeared as I entered the forest I drive through every day.

The trees seemed awfully dark today, making me feel a bit more uncomfortable than usual.

"I really gotta find another work.." I whispered and slowly got lost in my thoughts. The music of my radio managed to get me into a brighter mood, making me lean my head a bit back.

"Maybe I should move away too and just forg- OH GOD-" I screamed and stopped the car abruptly, my heart skipping a beat.

On shaking legs I got out of the car, looking straight in front of me. A body was laying on the street.

"Isn't that-" I kneeled down to the person.
"O-Oh god, sir? Sir are you alive?" His pulse wasn't gone yet, meaning he's not dead neither.

In complete panic I looked around , suddenly spotting a very familiar bag. My eyes widened as I recognized the logo of the coffee shop I work in. I looked back at the boy, finally recognizing him for sure.

"Y-You-"
"Who are you.." I heard his shaking voice and I took his hand.
"It's me, the girl from the coffee shop!" I did my best not to stutter, trying to take out my phone from my pocket.
"Ah.. the pretty girl.."he whispered weak, his hand slightly pressing mine.

"Please stay awake, I-I'll call the ambulance immediately" I begged, holding my phone against my ear. It felt like a whole eternity when I finally heard a voice through the speaker.

"911 what's your emergency?"
"Y-Yes hello, h-here is a boy l-laying in the middle of the street, h-he is bleeding a-a lot and is really w-weak please s-send help" I stuttered, tears running down my cheeks.

"Calm down M'am. Where are you?"

"I-In the forest that comes immediately when y-you leave the east side of Seoul"

"We're sending someone over, where is he bleeding?"

Panicking I looked over his body.

"H-His head seems to bleed a-and there is a-a huge blood stain o-on his chest area"

"Okay M'am, please put the phone on speaker and do exactly as I say"

"Y-Yes"
I slowly laid the phone down and looked over the boy's body.

"Rip the shirt enough so that you see the wound M'am"

I did as she said, gladly it wasn't a very thick fabric, making it easy for me to rip the shirt open, revealing a huge wound underneath it.

"How does it look M'am"

"L-Like a-a really b-big and d-deep cut" I stuttered.

"I want you to take your jacket or anything else and press it against the wound"

With shaking hands I took off my jacket, swallowing hard as I pressed it against the blood. Never would I have imagined to go through such a thing.

"Keep this position m'am, help is on its way"

after these words the call ended, making me panic again.

"W-what, h-how could s-she j-just e-end it-"

I stopped , feeling a cold hand in my wrist. The boy looked me in the eyes, his breathing getting more and more weak.

"M'am.."
"N-No don't t-talk, don't w-waste energy" I stuttered and tried to calm down but he just smiled.

"You don't have to save me. It's my choice to die"

I looked at him in disbelief.
"W-why would you w-wanna die-"
"My friends.. their names were Beomgyu, Kai, Taehyun... and Soobin..."
