Wrecked

Chapter-1

Yeonjun pov

“An eighteen years old girl named vivian marshal has drowned herself by jumping into the han river with her car”

Clutching the newspaper firmly wrinkling it under my harsh grip, a 6 year old newspaper that I couldn't let go, gulping the last bit of saliva before my mouth goes dry, feeling it tear my throat as I bit back a sob. My hands shook as I removed my glasses, patting my watery eyes.

“Vivi, stop..oh my god this girl” yeonjun laughs chasing her.

“It’s a pity you can’t even catch me with those long legs yeonie”  vivian laugh hysterically

Her laugh still echoes in the shadows of my mind , haunting me as I try to close my ears wanting to get rid of it..yet my heart’s in desperate need of listening to it even for the last time. The angels of my mind push me forward in hopes of moving on yet the demons of my heart pull me back with force into reliving the horrible moment. Everyone thinks the mind is where the demon lies but forget that the heart's demon will pull you far down into the depths of your own despair.

Inhaling sharply, I tossed the paper to the side standing up. I opened my phone to see the time only to realize I was late. I hastily took my car key and ran to my car, opening the gate to the driver’s seat and starting the engine as I drove off stopping in between to grab my coffee since my head was throbbing, reminiscing about the fatal past.

I stopped in front of the starlight cafe. The aesthetic of this cafe was warm and had autumn vibes which I loved . It gave me comfort and a sense of her.. It also has a library so it was a bonus. The wind chime rings as per my entry. I faintly smile at the employees there as I ask for my usual drink.

I stood there scrolling through my phone as I attended phone calls from work, my eyes wandering to the interior of the cafe while talking to a client as my gaze lands on a specific figure looking through the books in the library alongside the cafe tables. I squinted my eyes as there I felt a weird sensation in my chest almost like a magnetic pull. I tilted my head looking at the woman with dark brown hair that sits till her waistline, her pastel work clothes, her back facing me. Why am I tempted to take a look at her face?

“I'll call you later” I hung up on the client as I took a small step towards the woman, my heart thumping against my chest. My steps halted as she turned a bit towards the left of her side and my eyes widened. No way..

My lips quivered at the thought..is she? The doubt that trapped the oxygen in my lungs suddenly released with confirmation as my heart thundered against my chest. She turned her head towards me fully looking deep in my eyes as I stared at her in complete shock. Confusion sprawled on my face…i was there…i was there when she died..

“Vivi” the voice came out as a faint whisper

Sweat trickled down my forehead as my body trembled at the mere hope..the world seemed to be slowed down, i turned a deaf ear to the people calling me as it was only her i focused on, the time seemed to reverse, as a whole film of our life start to project in the gap between us. The vivid evocation of our moments  played as if someone started a hologram. Everyone seemed to disappear leaving only the two of us in this little world. Her body language was calm and composed but her eyes flicked a bit of emotion of longing as they went emotionless again. My breathing ragged as i hoped it was her but my vivi would never look at me like i am nothing to her.

Her eyes wandered up and down my body as she gave one last look at my eyes before she turned the other way and walked away. I swear I saw the corner of her mouth turn upward slightly. I ran behind her trying to catch up as she disappeared quickly. I swear I saw her.. It was her but at the same time it was not. I raked my hand through my hair in frustration and looked around in anticipation. Are my eyes playing tricks on me?

If it’s someone else, how can they look like the carbon copy of vivi? Everything about her screamed vivi, her face, her eyes, her body everything ... .Yet she seemed different. Vivi would never wear something like that..she always said she hated long hair. This girl’s  vibe was so mature and organized while vivi is..was very chirpy and clumsy. I blinked the tears formed in my eyes, calming my breath that seemed to pump on a high rate.

My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the T.V screen as the reporter talked about a sudden brutal death that happened in the city. I looked at the T.V screen and my eyes widened for the 3rd time. Goosebumps crept on the surface of my skin. The death was of my business rival kai marshal’s uncle Ivan marshal. Kai who was the psychotic brother of vivi.

“We are here to report the death of the successful business owner Ivan marshal as he met a with a very tragic end, the police team has declared it was a fatal accident by drowning but the inside report found that it might be a brutal murder, the mystery is that there was another accident that happened four days before in the exact same way by drowning, that man also claimed to be in relation with Ivan marshal,  nobody knows if it's another killer in town or just a bad luck going around in the marshall family, a very powerful group of people”
