till death does us part | 💔

chaehyun.

"xiaoting-unnie! over there, passageway far right! run!" i pointed to the entryway where she could escape to inside.

"but.. what about you, captain?!" she yelled as she ran towards the exitway, pulling my arm to run with her.

"till death does us part, xiaoting." i smile at her sadly, as i stood behind her, with her looking back, crying.

"chaehyun! you can still make it if you run with me!" xiaoting cried out to me, but i was too dumb and tired of all the dead people around me to even care for both my and her feelings.

"please.. you're the only one i have left chaehyun.." xiaoting cried as she begged me to run with her to the exits.

"you have mashiro, yujin, dayeon, youngeun, and the others waiting for you, please.." xiaoting cried.

it was that moment when, xiaoting suddenly grabbed my hand, and we both started running to the exit. we both made it on time.

one week later..

no one's pov.

chaehyun was in the hospital as she was recovering from the explosion that happened while they were trying to run to planet KEPLER's entrances from Kwangya, where they got attacked by soldiers of seemingly Yoo Jimin and Uchinaga Aeri.

chaehyun knew both of the latter's well, but jimin and aeri hadn't noticed that anyone came inside of their base.

xiaoting cried day and night waiting for chaehyun to recover one day, as well as the other members.

but one day, something terrible happened.

chaehyun's breathing became erratic and unstable, almost leading to her near death. "3.. 2.. 1.. push electricity to 500!" a doctor yelled.

an hour later, chaehyun was announced to be dead.

xiaoting's heart dropped when she heard the news about her girlfriend dying.

"this.. this is all some sort of prank right..? my chaehyun isn't dead.. s-she can't be!" xiaoting cried, as yujin and mashiro held her while the other members comforted her, mourning with her due to the death of chaehyun.

3 years later..

xiaoting still hasn't gotten over chaehyun's death.

she's been crying still, and her mental health has gone somewhere darker.. somewhere where chaehyun had helped her through before her passing.

who'd help her be brave again? who'd cook for her meals when she was sick? who'd be her roommate who'd always say good morning to her even when she hadn't woken up yet?

chaehyun was gone now, and xiaoting couldn't accept that.

what xiaoting didn't know was,

chaehyun was indeed alive, healing.

the doctors lied to her, because when they pulsed and pushed the electricity to 500, chaehyun had woken up, she'd jolten from her coma.

chaehyun herself, told the doctors to stay quiet, and tell xiaoting that she'd died.

a few days later, xiaoting got a text from yujin, saying that, "you should go pack up you and chaehyun's things in your private island chaehyun bought for you two to stay in." and xiaoting took a train to busan just to go there.

when she got to the private island, she saw a girl with red hair, and the palest skin that she's ever seen before.

chaehyun.

it was her.

it was her girlfriend.

kim chaehyun.

"c-chaehyun..?" xiaoting's tears flowed, as the younger girl hugged her tightly. "did you miss me, unnie?" chaehyun smiled at xiaoting, and kissed her.

"y-you.. y-you didn't die?!" xiaoting looked betrayed, but happy at the same time.

all the others knew, except for her.

but at least now they could both be happy for each other and not mourn in chaehyun's death again
