Fix me, please?

Chapter 17 : All that matters

Seokhoon opened his eyes and found himself in his bedroom. His head was pounding and he could feel his body burning up. "You finally woke up." Seokkyung walked inside holding a glass of water and a few medicines. "You've been knocked out in bed for the past three days." She sat down beside her brother and sighed. "Three whole days?" He muttered weakly as he took the medicine and swallowed it.  "Get some rest."

Seokhoon lay back on the bed and gazed at the ceiling with empty eyes.

His head felt heavy and everything was a blur. The last thing he remembered was getting water dumped on himself.  He grabbed for his phone and checked the day. It was a Sunday. Sliding out of his bed, he dragged his body towards the bathroom and took a quick shower. Walking out, he quickly slipped into a fresh pair of clothes and called Jenny.

"Hello?"

"Yoo Jenny...we need to visit Rona today."

"I was going to head out just now. But...are you okay? If you're sick you don't need to-"

"I'm okay. I'm perfectly fine. I'll meet you downstairs in five minutes."

"Actually...do you mind if I bring company?"

"What?"

********************************************************************************************

Seokhoon furrowed his eyebrows when he saw Jenny approach him with Jaehyun following close behind. The guy had a weird smirk on his face as he waved at Seokhoon.

"Since when did you both get close?" Seokhoon eyed Jaehyun as the trio began to head out. "Well, I recently moved in with Yoon hee ajhumma and Jenny has been helping me navigate around the place. So, we naturally became friends." Seokhoon frowned. "You moved in...?" Jaehyun smiled. "Yeah...but don't worry. I don't plan on annoying you very much." 

"We aren't going for a fun outing. You do know that we are visiting the grave of a dead friend right?" Seokhoon couldn't understand why Jaehyun was joining them in the first place. "Oh, I'm very much aware. I just want to know who this person is...whose able to make the great Joo Seokhoon look so weak and vulnerable." Seokhoon clenched his fists. "Jaehyun you should shut up." Jenny finally spoke up.

The three approached the silent grave. Jenny quietly stepped ahead and placed the bouquet of blue flowers in front of Rona's picture. "Rona-ya...we brought a new friend today. This is Han Jaehyun." Seokhoon rolled his eyes, watching Jaehyun who kneeled down in front of the grave stone. "She's pretty." He muttered, a soft smile appearing on his face. "She's dead" came Seokhoon's cold voice from behind. 

"Whose fault is it?" 

Seokhoon froze at Jaehyun's question.

"Mine..."

"What do you mean?"

"I failed to protect her. I...pushed her away and...I failed to protect her."

"Seokhoon-ah...it's not your fault." Jenny looked at her friend with moist eyes, trying to console him.

"No...he's right. Maybe it really is his fault." Jaehyun stood up and turned towards Seokhoon. "You visiting her so religiously like this...I doubt it's because of any affection you harbour for her." Taking a step closer, Jaehyun stared into Seokhoon's eyes. "It's guilt. You're guilty. Guilty about not doing what you should have done. Guilty about how much of a pathetic person you are to this poor girl." Seokhoon sighed. "What do you know? You know nothing. You weren't here." Jaehyun smirked. "Well, I have someone special. Just like what she was to you. But I don't plan on doing something that I will regret. Unlike you, I'm going to do this love thing the right way. I don't want to be pathetic like you." And with that, he walked away from the grave. Jaehyun had hundreds of thoughts running through him.
