Hyunjin's POV

Fuck that child who recognized me.

I got my cheek pressed on the wall as they put handcuffs around my wrists. I swear to god if these disgusting creatures don't get their hands off me, I'm gonna kill them using my legs. I can wrap my legs around their neck and suffocate them to death, you know?

"You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you" this officer on my left said.

Bold of them to assume I'm gonna say a thing. I scoffed as they pulled me up to stand, people in this place are all looking at me and I just raised my eyebrow at them.

I sighed. What's the use of getting an attorney? I'm sure I'll get a death sentence. I accepted it before I even got caught.

What a shame. I wanted to live, but I guess I'll die in this island.

I wish to see Heejin for the last time.

I want to see her.

I miss her.

My thumb caressed the ring in my finger as I think of the only girl I love in this lifetime.

I hope to meet her in my next life.

I smiled, at least I got to met her. At least I was able to call her mine.

The world is truly cruel as well as the people living in it.

Fuck my life.

I was forced to get in the police car and I guess their bringing to a police station or something. I don't really care at this point.

I look outside the window and I was captivated by the view. Jeju... What a beautiful island you are. Maybe that's why Yerim wanted to go here with us.

Yerim... Yeojin... Mom... Dad... Jihyun...

I'll join them soon, but there's no way I'll be going to heaven so we won't be together anyways. Bad bitches go to hell.

Oh fuck. I just realized that I'll be meeting my step dad in hell again. Goddammit.

The car stopped and this man pulled me harshly. Can't he be a little gentle? His grip hurts as hell.

Anyways, I'm here at a police station and they're taking my things from me. This policewoman search my pockets and she got my locket.

"Ma'am, can I keep that?" I spoke and look at her.

She looks at me before opening the locket. She looks at it and returning her gaze on me.

"Your mom and sister?" she asked and I nodded.

"You're so young, Kim" she told me

"It must've been hard for you" that's right Ms Police Officer.

I just give her a smile as she put my locket necklace back to my pocket. They brought me to a cell and I'm all alone there not like the others who has a buddy with them.

It's lonely here, but I'm used to being lonely. I'm used to being locked up. My goddamned step father used to locked me up to a small cabinet whenever I do a mistake even a small one.

It's cold. I'm not used to this. It has been so long since I felt like this. Heejin always keep me warm, but she's not here. Maybe that's why I'm feeling cold.

God, I miss her.

I lay my back flat on the ground as I let the coldness envelope me. This is the path I chose. I have to embrace it.

I've always wanted to live without regrets and I'm proud to say that right now in this very moment, I don't feel a single regret about my choices in life.

I just smiled, staring at the dull ceiling above me while reminiscing the memories I made with my family, friends and Heejin.

Ahh fuck. My back hurts. Why is there no any mattress or cushion here?

I laugh at the situation I am right now. Laying on the cold floor waiting for my death. Mom must be so disappointed while watching me from above.

"Hey, officer Chu" I called the policewoman from earlier when I saw her walk pass by my cell.

"Yes, Kim?" she responded going back a bit to see me.

"Can I make a phone call?" I asked her

"Who are you going to call? Your family?" she asked

"No, they're dead already. I'm gonna call my girlfriend to say goodbye" I told her

"You didn't do that before running away?"

"I didn't have the time to do so"

She sighs and gestured me to come close to her. She hands me an old fashioned phone, maybe this is what they lend the prisoners.

"I'm giving you five minutes" she said, walking off and I press Heejin's phone number.

She answered it in few rings and I took a deep breath.

"Moon" I called her

"Hyunjin? Where are you? How are you talking to me? Did you escape? Did you get hurt-" I cut her off

"Moon, baby, I want you to listen to me, Persephone"

"My dearest Heejin, my love, my moon, my universe, my everything, and my always. First of all, I'm sorry, moon. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry I have to leave. I'm so sorry that I broke my promise to be with you always. Second, I want you to know how much I love you. Third, let's meet again in our next lives, okay? But next time I wish for us to have a good life. I wish next time we'll meet as a normal teens just living their lives just how they're supposed to be. I wish for us to be happy in our next life."

I can hear her sobbing in the other line.

"I'm sorry, Heejin. Hades have to leave you now"

"Hyunjin no" she cried harder

"I'm saying goodbye now, baby. I love you until the end" I ended the call. I can't bare to hear her sobs. This is gonna hurt for sure, but that's the consequences of our actions. I knew that at some point of my life, I have to pay for what I have sinned.

-

This is it. I'm getting executed. I got my back turned to the person who's gonna end me. The gun is pointing exactly at the back of my head.

I take a last inhalation of the air and everything went all black and all I could think of is Heejin. My Persephone...

I guess this is it. This is where it ends. It ended this way because people like us don't deserve a happy ending.

END

Eyooo clowns. So there, another book ended and I want to thank y'all for joining Persephone and Hades in their journey, but sadly this where it ends. Again, thank you and stay safe y'all.

stanaeongie.
