030

My eyes flew open as I gasped for air.

Sitting up on the counter, I looked around the room to notice I was alone.

This looks like some kind of weird operation room but on a low budget.

The door to said room opened, revealing some lady with Soyeon.

The lady screamed while Soyeon only grinned. "You lucky bitch."

"What happened? Where am I? Where's Chaeyoung?"

Soyeon and the lady approached the counter I was on, Soyeon slowly explaining everything.

I couldn't believe it. I died?

The blonde's eyes softened, "Are you okay?"

Nodding, I didn't really respond.

I watched my best friend die while my other friend tried to kill my girlfriend only resulting in me dying. I'm great.

"Where's Chaeyoung? And the girls?"

Soyeon bit her lip, "We'll have to call them back. Doll, we thought you died. They left a bit ago."

My heart sank.

I tried to get off the counter, wanting to leave so I could go catch everyone before they left Japan.

But as soon as I tried to move my legs, I couldn't.

Panic arose inside of me as I looked up at Soyeon for answers.

The lady standing beside her spoke first, "Your body is probably still in shock. She also got you pretty good, so you might be down for a bit."

My eyes watered at the comment. I don't want to be down for a bit. I want Chaeyoung.

While Soyeon was catching me up on everything that happened, she had an idea.

I wouldn't say brilliant, but it would take a lot of me to not ruin the plan.

Soyeon convinced Chaeyoung and the girls to bury me in Japan with Pinky, claiming that it's what I would have wanted.

Everyone agreed, claiming they knew Pinky was still my best friend. Even if she did hire people to kidnap me and tried to have the loved of my life killed.

And so, The Villains held a funeral for me. Closed casket, of course.

All of ONCE flew over for the funeral, which honestly made my heart hurt at how kind that was. I hardly know half these girls but they flew over for me.

After the funeral was said and done, ONCE flew back to Korea.

I watched the plane take off, The Villains standing by my side.

I was in a wheelchair for months as I went through countless hours of physical therapy.

ONCE believed I had passed all the while.

It pained me to lie to Chae, all I wanted was to call her and tell her everything.

But I knew I'd get to see her soon, and it would be worth it.

After almost a year, Soyeon called Nayeon.

Nayeon was in disbelief until I got on the phone, making the poor girl cry.

"Don't tell anyone. Not a soul. Understood?" Soyeon warned, Nayeon agreeing instantly.

And so, the plan continued.

Nayeon announced that ONCE would be selling The House and moving to a new location.

She explained that, even though she hardly knew me, she couldn't bear to live in that house anymore.
