SHEEP | MINSUNG✔

24.

"Wait wait.... what do you mean by nothing is real..." minho said.

"It's exactly what I said. I'm just a creation in  your head. Now you're slowly starting to realize it. Actually everyone besides me tried to tell you. But you've decided to listen to me instead. That's because you ware rejecting reality." Jisung said sharing the blanket with minho.

"How... how is that possible..." minho said.

"I'm just in your brain... I know as much as you know. If you don't remember what hapend that caused you all of this, then I don't remember as well." Jisung said.

"But I can touch you... and all of this feels so real... all of those months that ive been living with you ware just an illusion in my brain?" Jisung looked sadly down.

"Minho... I'm so sorry. I tried to protect you... make you happy. Now I just feel like I've made you even more sad." Jisung spoke softly while creasing minhos hand.

Minho just ran out of words. He was speechless from everything that just happend.

"Jisung... what's going to happen to us... to you..." jisung just blinked twice.

"I would love to say, that I'll always stay by your side... but I don't know, if I can stay much longer." Jisung said creasing minhos face.

When he heard these words, minhos eyes became teary. "No... don't cry minho hyung... I don't want to see you sad." Minho broke into tears. "I was never real... so i can't die..."

"Jisung... you don't understand... you ware always real to me." Minho said in between sobs.

Minho spend few minutes crying his heart out. Jisung was just hugging him and patting his head.

When minho stoped crying he spoke. "You ware and always will be real to me jisung... do you remember the lullaby that I sang to you?"

Jisung tought about it.

"Yeah... I do actually..." jisung said and started singing.

'Oh my sheep, you should sleep now
the birds already stoped singing.
They're gonna comeback and ask
if you, from my memories are disappearing.

Oh my sheep you should sleep now
It's already midnight
Tomorrow they're gonna lie to me
That you won't ever exist.

Why are they lying... lying
That I'm here alone, when you're by my side, when you're the one I love.

Oh my sheep you should sleep now.
Tomorrow...
They're gonna comeback and ask, if you...
From my memories are disappearing.'

"Is that right?" Jisung asked.

"Yeah... I was the one who wrote that Lullaby... and its about you my sheep. When people can't sleep at night, they usually count sheep's... on the other hand I was thinking of you sleeping besides me as I'm singing you this Lullaby." Minho paused for a second. "I always wanted to show them... let them know that you exist."

Minho sat down. "Even tho you're someone, that lives in my head... I  don't want to let go..."

Minho was watching jisung slowly fading away.

Even tho he didn't wanted to, he was slowly realizing, that all of this was just something in his head.

"Minho..." jisung said with tears and smile on his face. "Just so you know... I won't ever stop loving you... just think of me some times." He said before completely disappearing "I love you..." minho felt quick light peck on his lips before jisung vanished.

As jisungs sweet voice disappeared, everything went black.

Minho was just sitting there. He was deep in his toughts when he heard something.

"He's waking up!" He hard.

He was woken up by a bright light shining right into his face.

"Doctor... he's awake..." some voices said.

"Welcome back Mr. Lee." Minho looked at the man and it was a doctor.

"What's... going on?" Minho asked.

"You ware in a coma for three years... you are turning 27 in a few months." He said.

"Coma?" Minho was trying to think of what happpened.

And then he realized.

-

3 years ago...

Minho tried to kill himself by eating more than he should of the antidepresives. The thing is, it didn't do much from the beginning.

He doesn't know how, but he got outside of the hospital and was involved in a car accident where he was hit by a car as he was attempting suicide.

-

"I was trying to kill myself..."  he said out loud.

"Yeah... you did. But you ware honestly so lucky. The chance of you ever waking up from a coma was 50/50." The doctor said.

"Lucky... huh..." minho said. "I could've been lucky if I died."

"Mr Lee... you know... patients that don't find happiness in living, have smaller chance of waking up? They chose death as their home." The doctor said those familiar words. "Even I once... had this problem Mr Lee."

Minho paused. These words... Kira used to say them to minho.

"Doctor... did anyone visit me when I was in a coma?" Minho asked.

"Besides one person no..." he said writing something down.

"Who is that person?"

"Just a nurse from the mental hospital you came from. She looked like she's really worried about you. And she actually came to celebrate your birthday every year as well." He said.

"Maybe there is someone... waiting for me in this world." Minho said.

Even tho it hurt minho. He needed to let go for his heart to finally find peace.

"Oh my sheep you're finally asleep,
Even tho the birds are singing.
You're slowly disappearing.

Oh my sheep you're finally asleep,
Now I know they never lied to me.

They never lied, they have nothing to hide.
But I'm still mad in love with you my only star.

Oh my sheep you're asleep now...
Tomorrow they're gonna ask if you from my dreams are gone...
Tomorrow they're gonna ask and I'll say that you are...

The End
