The Tale of the Gingerhead (CATNIPZ/BBANGSAZ FANFIC)

Chapter 21: Distant

Minji stares off outside the window, the skies are so beautiful, light blue in hue and the breeze is blowing so softly. As if everything is fine, but it's not.

She closes her eyes as she remembers the conversation she had with Hanni in this room an hour ago.

"Liked, Minji." Hanni's soft voice repeats.

She bows her head, trying to think whether it's the truth or not. Was she over her now? Or whenever she's Haerin it also blinded her for a while?

"Yes. I love Haerin." she raises her gaze, summing up the courage to say this line. She met gazes with Hanni and wishes she didn't. Hanni's eyes slightly shook with what Minji assumed was hurt.

Hanni was silent for a second before flashing a smile, it was a forced one, Minji knows it.
"I see. That's good to know since Haerin really was nothing but good to you."

Minji sucks a breath in, this whole thing, is really hard. She never really expected or dreamt of hurting Hanni this way, the person she once dreamed of being with.

Why did Hanni have to be this nice?

This is what happens when you love two people. Love? Did she love Hanni too? Loved?

She screws her eyes shut and mentally curses. Both are too precious to her, she can't bear the thought of choosing one then hurting the other.

Why does it has to come to this?

Haerin is too fragile and innocent, Hanni is too nice and understanding.

Minji grumbles once again, she had to make a clear and final decision, you can't have two people at the same time!

Blood dripping onto the white room, everything is white and the glasses are thick, too thick to even bother breaking. Then countless bloody bodies laid on the floor, contrasting the clean color of the room.

There stood a lome figure, stained with blood that clearly isn't theirs. Then it's eyes glowed golden.

*gasp*

Haerin abruptly opens her eyes and heaves a breath out, she tried to move but she couldn't. She looked at her arms that are locked on her sides, on the same level as her shoulders, with her legs locked below too. She's wearing a white gown that seems all too familiar to her.

She lands her eyes around the room and through the thick big glass on the side of the room, she knows they're watching her from the other side of that glass.

And she's right, she's dierectly looking at Mingyu's eyes from the other side. He had his arms crossed over his built body while one of his hands caressing his chin.

They had their doctors treat Haerin's wounds before the iron bullets could've done any more serious damage to her.

"Open the door." he spoke to one of the guards who tapped a button not far from the door. Mingyu enters the room with an arrogant smirk.

Haerin landed her eyes on him, if he's looking for any sign that she fears him well he's not getting any. She stared at him with the same intensity, if eyes could kill, he would've been dead by now.
