Unreal (KaiStal f.f)

Ch. 22

I jump myself over his desk and press the power button of the monitor multiple times. The curiosity to know who this person is grows inside me and even makes me go nauseous, and I fall back into my chair.

"Dr. Seo, let me see who he is. I need to know who he is so I can meet him again," I desperately whine, suddenly thinking of Jongin.

My insides now scrunch up and I'm feeling light headed as if I'm about to get shot up into space; I can feel my face go 3 shades lighter within a few seconds and grab the desk. Dr. Seo acts like he doesn't see me practically dying right now and turns on the monitor.

The sides of my head are now pulsing so boldly now that I can feel the blood just shooting through my veins. But it's not this that bothers me the most...

My chest hurts the most.

I hold my breath, trying to calm my heart from putting me into cardiac arrest, but it just ends up making everything worse.

"Help... me..." I cry, grabbing my chest. It's tightening, squeezing the life out of me. My brain fills up with so many flashbacks with someone, but I'm unable to grasp onto any of theme

Like a heartless doctor, Dr. Seo ignores my pleas for help and turns the monitor around. I look at it, expecting to see someone I didn't recognize at all...

"Soojung!" His scared voice travels through the alleyways into my ears. I run into his arms and cling around his shoulders like a koala. The sky now starts to make a glitching noise and the sky flashes a different color now and then; it doesn't seem so safe here anymore.

"Kai... this isn't real, right? What'll happen to you if... if..." I mutter. The outcome; I do not want to have a single thought of it. It'll only hurt me more, affecting me in any way possible.

"My love, look at me before I have to go." He places his hands on my cheek and pushes me a bit away from him so we can see each other. "Promise me that you have to keep this a secret. Promise me that you won't forget this."

I forgot you, Jongin, until this moment.

Wiping my running nose, I nod my head. "O–Of course... I won't betray you. I-I won't forget anything."

I am a traitor.

He smiles so slightly even though his face shows his pain. Pulling me back close to him, he softly cries onto my shoulder.

"I'm a human, Soojung. All of the players in this world are actual humans, not NPCs. We're all slaves to them, Soojung."

The sky then drops exactly how a ceiling would; there's a crack through the middle of the sky and the two sides and a concave. Even though I try not to scream, a small whimper escapes my lips.

Screaming, I cover my eyes with my hands and cry. My head hurts too much...

"My name, my real one, is Kim Jongin. I'm a freshman in college that lives in Seoul. Come find me."

I fall into the ground from extreme dizziness and still keep my eyes on the screen. Kim Jongin.

The weigh of his body encompassing mine begins to get lighter. I, still in utter shock and confusion, open my eyes fully and see my arms around an almost air-form of Jongin.

He's disappearing like Minhyuk!

"Jongin! You can't leave me; I'm scared...!" I panic, trying to retrieve him back into my arms but he keeps becoming more transparent. I feel water droplets fall onto my arms, and I realize that they're Jongin's tears that he's shedding.

"I love you, Soojung. Don't forget us."

Do you still love me?

And he disappears.

I don't even have time to think of another thing when everything that had hurt just a second ago now releases a bomb inside me, and I instantly go into a more fatigue state. However, it started in my back area.

I look over my shoulder and see Dr. Seo kneeling, holding a needle of yellow liquid in it being pulled out from my back.

"...Why..." I cannot say much more because the headache is that bad. It feels like a million needles being jammed into my head at once from hammer action being done by Satan himself.

"I'm sorry that I couldn't help you in time. I'm sorry that you have to suffer like this because of me," he whispers, pulling something from his pocket.

A gun.

Too weak to get up and stop him, I scream and yell for him to stop, but this headache is just causing too much pain for me to do anything.

"Please take care of Jongin and find the people who began all of this," he sadly smiles and points the gun at his head.

"No!" I scream, my head filling with pressure as I hear it go off...

"No..." I whisper, falling into darkness.

This was a bipolar chapter but ok
