Tzuyu's POV"It looks good." I assured Chaeyoung who was trying on a dress.
"But....it doesn't look right." She argued, "none of this feels right."
I sighed, "I know. He would want you to be there. So please....just wear that one. It looks good."
"Ok." She finally agreed. The two of us walked outside the dressing rooms. I saw Jungkook in his suit waiting for us. He looked a little stunned.
"Wow, Tzuyu. You look beautiful." He awed.
"And so do you." I teased.
"I prefer the term sexy."
"Enough with your flirting." Chaeyoung suddenly spoke, "we should stop joking. We should be searching for Mina right now."
"Well where are we suppose to look Chaeyoung? She bolted before we even got to the hospital. She's not anywhere. Plus, what if she comes or the funeral?"
"Jungkook's right." I agreed, "let's just go meet up with the others."
Chaeyoung nodded and followed Jungkook and I outside where her family and our friends were waiting.
"Hey guys." We greeted them. They all looked great dressed up for the funeral. And as I looked at all of them I saw one in particular. It was Hobi.
I went up to him separately, "hey Hobi. How are you doing?"
He looked sad, "I'm holding up." He answered, "I'm sorry but I don't think I can be a sunshine today. He was a brave soul."
Tears had already welled up in my eyes, "I'm so sorry Hobi."
"Oh don't cry yet. It hasn't even begun." He assured grabbing my arms gently, "he loved Chaeyoung. I heard his whole story. How he would do anything for her. He suspected she liked Mina. But he didn't hate Mina, he just wanted her to be happy. He said he would die for her. Looks like he stayed true to his word."
"He's truly a miracle." I replied, wiping my tears.
"How is Chaeyoung holding up?" He asked me.
I hesitated, "well she is....." I looked towards her.....wait......where did she go?
"Chaeyoung?" I suddenly called out. I looked around me, "did anyone see Chaeyoung?" Everyone started to look around. Seems she disappeared without anyone noticing.
"Oh no." I sighed holding my head in frustration.
"What?" Sana confronted.
"She went to try and find Mina."Chaeyoung's POV
I'm quite surprised no one noticed me leaving. I just kinda ditched them. Everyone was busy talking anyway. Am I searching for Mina? Kind of. I just needed to be alone really. I guess I'll look for Mina at the same time. I was just walking down the streets. Minding my own business.
I wasn't expecting to find Mina. That's for sure. I haven't seen her since I kissed her and then passed out. Did she like this kiss? She said she loved me. She definitely confessed. But so much has happened. I'm sad. Depressed. Yoongi's gone. But at least Mina and I can spend the rest of our lives together. I just need to see her. That's all I need.
As I was walking down the street I recognized a certain place.
It was the store I went to when I was on the event with Mina. The one where I bought her a jacket because she was freezing. I smiled at the memory that seemed so distant now. I continued walking when I realized it's bit the only place that was familiar. The ice cream place, it was nearing me.
The place only just opened for the afternoon. Which meant it was almost time for Funeral. Inside of me, I don't want to deal with all those people. I don't want to here there sorrys. It was my fault Yoongi's dead. Ive realized that now. The only person I want is........
I looked inside the ice cream shop. Far across there was a girl sitting at a table by herself. I wouldn't have recognized her but she wearing the jacket I was just picturing in my mind. The jacket I bought. It was Mina. I found her.
I rushed inside, "Mina!" I called out to her.
She looked up with shock, she looked like she was trying to be hidden.
"Chaeyoung?"
I quickly ran towards her with my arms wide open. But she quickly stepped back.
"Chaeyoung stay back."
I was shocked, "Why?"
"Chae-don't you get it? I ruined your life. You don't need me. Nobody does. You deserve someone much better. You deserved Yoongi. Not me."
She thinks it's her fault.
"Mina. Listen. I didn't love Yoongi like that. He is the bravest person I knew. But it's not your fault. I was the one who decided to kiss you. It's my fault he's gone."
"You wouldn't even have been in that situation if it wasn't for my stupid disease."
"Mina. I've already been poisoned. It doesn't affect me anymore."
"How do you know that?"
"The doctors confirmed it."
I stepped a little closer, "don't you see Mina. Yoongi gave up his life so we have to life that he wanted us to live. He wanted us to be together. Can we do that?"
"Chae-" Mina hesitated, "I don't-"
"Ahem" I interrupted, "Minari Mina. We've been through a lot together. Today, right now. I say that we declare this whole incident was neither mine or your fault. It was Hyunjin's fault. He was the bad guy. I say we honor Yoongi and finish high school. Mina...I love you. So much. If it weren't for you, I would've given up in these past few days. So...would you be willing to be my girlfriend?"
I could see tears coming down her eyes. Suddenly she came closer to me and hugged me.
"Yes, Chaeyoung. I'm so sorry I left you alone. I was scared. Please forgive me. And....I love you too."
I smiled as I hugged her tightly back, "I have you now and that's all that matters."
I pulled back from our hug and looked Mina in the eyes. She began, "you said....my disease doesn't affect you anymore?"
"It doesn't." I smiled, "I'll tell you all about it later. But everyone is worried about you. And the funeral is about to start."
Mina sighed.
"What's wrong?"
"It's just....everyone knows now. Don't they?"
"So what?" I questioned, "it doesn't make them love you any less."
"I'm scared Chaeyoung."
"Well whatever they say, I'll be there with you every step of the way. Ok?"
Mina smiled, "your truly amazing Chaeyoung."
"Only because I get it from you." I smiled back, "but come on! Let's go!"
And off we went to Yoongi's funeral.
"Yoongi. Was a friend. A very good friend. To all of us. He had a hard home life. But that didn't affect his everyday personality and caring nature. He was my seat mate for years. I will forever remember you, Yoongi. Thank you for what you did for me. I owe you the whole world. Truly." I couldn't help but sob as I left the stage. Hobi got up there next to do his speech.
I went and sat down next to Mina and Tzuyu.
As I walked by the casket, I saw Yoongi's face for the last time. I wasn't disturbed by it. It struck me that he chose to do this. That could've been me laying in that casket. But it wasn't. Now I will always have a part of him inside me. His heart. Maybe his heart will make me more pure. More caring perhaps? I just know it will be better for me.Thank you Min Yoongi sincerely......Chaeyoung.
"Mina I'm so glad you came back." Sana said hugging her best friend.
"I only came back because of Chaeyoung." She smiled, "I won't run away again, I promise."
Sana patted my back, "I'll leave you two."
"Thanks." I muttered to her looking back at Mina.
"Mina what do you say we go somewhere?" I suggested.
She raised an eyebrow, "where?"
"I need somewhere to mourn. I've already been trapped in my room for centuries. And I don't want to be alone anymore. Let's go to a hotel."
"A hotel?" She questioned.
"Yeah. Only that is...if your up for it?"
She smiled, "you were there for me when I needed it the most. Now it's my turn."
*Hours later*
"You don't cry much do you?" Asked Mina.
"Probably less you than you." I sniffled and chuckled.
"That's probably true." She agreed and chuckled as she played with my hair. I was laying my head on her tummy.
I held her soft hand, "that's all I needed."
"What was?"
"I feel complete now."
"What do you mean?"
"I've always felt empty. Until you came along. All I needed now was to cry in your arms."
"Well you never have to worry about being empty again."
I just stared at her beautiful face. She is perfect. Although, I was staring at a little more than just her face.
Mina seemed to notice, "so tell me about what the doctor told you."
"That your poison doesn't affect me anymore."
"Really? Don't we think we should test that?"
I looked nervously at Mina, "you read my mind."
I sat up and looked Mina on her level. I began to lean in closer.
I almost jumped as felt our lips touch. She was so soft. Last time we kissed I kept it short. I didn't realize just how good of a kisser Mina was.
We kissed passionately until I found myself on top of Mina.
"Your crazy Chaeyoung." Mina stopped our kiss just to say to me.
"I will love you for ever." I professed to her.
"Prove it."
I smiled looking at her innocent or shall we say, not so innocent face.
"Of course....anything for you my dear."Yes! I did it! I finished the story. Well there will be a complete ending later but this is the ending for now! Thank you guys for reading my story. It means a lot to me!
