chapter 16

hyunjin's pov:
"hyunjin, move!"
she shot the girl twice.

i sighed and asked, "why did you shoot her?"
she came to me and pulled me to the side by holding my hand. she then pointed at the knife in the girl's hand.

i nodded. "and i thought you're being jealous"
she nodded and said, "jealous of being able to try to kill you"
i sighed, she left my hand and twirled me around to check my back. she sniffed the knife, "poisoned, you're dying soon, hyunjin"
"am i?"
i looked at her. she looked up to me and said, "you know what? stop doing disgusting stuff"
"if you say, i will stop"
"yeah sure you will?"
"but give me a good reason to"

"you need another reason? isn't it being disgusting enough?"
"well you told me my mindset is disgusting too, should i stop thinking?" she sighed.

"okay, i can try"
she nodded.
"but i need something in return"
"what?"
"stay in my room"
"no? why?"
"just because, so?"
"okay"
"really?", i smiled.

"yeah, just stay ten feet away", she smirked and sat on the bed.

i picked up the girl's body, yerim looked at me and said, "do you need help?"
"no, i am experienced", i smirked and took her out.

"minho! dump her somewhere"

i went back in and turned the machine on, "you can heat your wounds if you want to"
"not right now"

i nodded and laid down on the bed. she looked at me and sighed. the lights went off, she screamed out of fear.

i sat up and made her lay down. "shush, i'm here"
"it's dark"
"don't worry, nothing will happen in dark"
"he- he'll hit us again"
"no-", i hugged her out of conscience.

"no one would hit you when i am around, i've been ordered to protect you"
"save her- she'll- she'll die!"
"yeri-ah, look at me"
i said as i held her face, she was shivering crazily, i understood the process of replaying of old memories in her mind. i've been there, i've experienced that. i want to comfort her like mom comforted me.

she started crying and hitting me, i held her hands softly, "i'm sorry, i won't hit you"
"help my mom! help her!"
"nothing will happen to her, come here"

i turned the phone's torch on. she calmed down a bit and looked at me, "what is this?"
"wait and focus here", i said as i pointed at my face.

i set the phone to light up the ceiling, "are you enjoying the view?"
"hyunjin!", i chuckled and pointed at the ceiling.
i made impressions with my hand.

"yerim, this is a caterpillar"
"mhm?"
"it's you, see this rock? it gets hit?"
"yeah, might be painful?"
"you know it better"
"it still keeps going though"
"mhm?"
"see now there's this tree, where he has to get to make it's cocoon, but it can only reach there after facing all the obstacles"
"no other option?"
"what could be the other option?"
"can't the narrator help it?"

she looked at me with a hopeful, teary smile.  i smiled back and said, "focus focus, so after it reaches the tree, right?"
"left"
"lame. it will turn into a beautiful butterfly, who will be stronger than everyone else, because it has already been to all the rough and tough!"
she clapped like a child. i turned the light button off and smiled at her.

"where are you?"
"here"
"no, in the story"
"there are no side characters needed"
"but the male lead?"
i looked at her.

"add my boyfriend there too! make him a cheerleader for the caterpillar!"
i turned the torch off and nodded.

"yah- why did you turn it off, it's dark again"
"you make things dark!"
"that's so rude-"
"i know, i'm rude"
"but you were smiling right now!"

i sighed again. she sat closer to me, "i'm scared"
"again?"
"yes, you turned the torch off"
"yerim! i know it! i'm the torch in the story"
she smiled and nodded.

"so, what does your boyfriend do?"
"he's my step brother's brother"
"so your step brother?"
"yes, somehow?"
"how old is he?"
"two year older than me"
"older than me?"
she shrugged.

"oh?"
"why are you wondering?"
"just because"
"okay?"
"do you love him?"
"how do you define love?"
"um, i don't know, do you think about him all the time? smile while thinking about him? can't see her getting hurt? act different when it's about her?"
"her? who?"
"did i say her? i-"
"yah! hyunjin! do you like someone?", she asked teasingly.

i cleared my throat and covered myself with blanket.
she shook me up, "i want to know!"
"no one! do you think I can like someone?"
"why not? you've started making me believe that the impossible is possible too, since i thought you never smiled but-"
i glared at her and sat up to get close to her face.

"what are you doing-"
"nothing, just observing your face from close"
"weird"
i chuckled.

"so, i was saying, no, asking, who is it?"
"no one!"
"but the way you zone out all the time says you-"
"mind your own business"
she glared at me.

i turned the lights on, "oh! the light is back!" she was about to run out when she turned back nervously and said, "do i have to stay in your room?"
"yes?"
suddenly a gun shot was heard.
"how is that possible- i didn't tell anyone to kill someone"
