Hold My Hand | Bang Chan

Six

You ran inside your house, hoping he was there. You turned on all your lights as soon as you took off your shoes. Your hair and clothes were now soaking wet. But he was nowhere to be seen. His house wasn't even there anymore connected to yours. It was just your house. You couldn't believe he just disappeared like that. Especially after you two shared your first kiss. Tears formed in your eyes.

You went to bed that night but didn't sleep at all. All you could think about was him. Even at work the next day you couldn't focus. All you could think about was him and where he might've gone. You were worried. At work you told the CEO wanted to speak with you. You were hoping it was Chan. Unfortunately it wasn't. It was your normal CEO who you hated.

Chan walked around town. He himself didn't even know what happened. He suddenly disappeared and when he did he found himself on top of a tall building, on the roof. He looked down to see humans roaming the streets but there was no sight of you. He was confused. All he wanted to do was see you. All of a sudden he sees you.

You were running up to the bus stop he was in front of. You hurriedly ran up to the bus and got on. His eyes widened. Didn't you see him? It was like you had completely ignored him. He thought maybe you were mad about him disappearing. So he figured he would try to find a way to talk to you. As he's about to get on the bus with you he's stopped by the young girl.

"She can't see you." Hana says.

He looks at her who is standing next to him, watching you. He was taken aback. Hana smiles at him. He knew this was her doing.

"What did you do?" He asks, getting angry.

"What were you thinking?" She asks, curiously.

"Stop it. Take me back!"

He shuts his eyes. When he opens them back up he's standing in front of Hana's hospital bed. She was in hospital clothes and sitting on the bed, staring at him. He curls his hand into a fist. Suddenly the windows in the room shatter and everything that was perfectly neat in there was now on the floor. She smirks at him. Everything then goes back into reverse, fixing everything.

"Are you done?" Hana asks. "Do you get it now? Don't you know the things you've done to her? You're going to be loved by her and disappear? So you're trying to be loved by her, right? You? How cute. I'm sure you were doing something on the day when that thing started to grow inside her head too. If you're done, you can go. I've said all I wanted to say."

Hana then lies down on her side, not looking at him. He stands there frowning.

Those who are nice to me always disappear.

That sentence kept ringing in your head. You knew eventually he was going to disappear. You just didn't think it would be this soon.

As you walk home you try not to think about him. Your eyes then travel down to the bracelet that you were still wearing. The one he gave you. The one that's supposed to be charged everyday before midnight. You didn't know what to do. Your eyes go back up but you are so certain that you just saw Chan from the other side of the street. You run across the street not caring if cars are driving by. You wouldn't care if you got hit. When you made it across the street he wasn't there. You were seeing things.

That's when your vision goes blurry and the pain comes shooting in your head. You fall down to the ground. You couldn't stand that the pain was so bad. You use all the strength you had left in your body and stood up. You still couldn't see properly. You feel yourself losing your balance when a hand grabs your wrist. You look up and are shocked to see Chan. He then lets go of your wrist, holding your hand instead. He continues holding your hand as he makes you walk with him.
