The Mysterious One

Gone

(This part of the story, will be told in Wonshik's POV)

I did as Jaehwan had told me, and closed my eyes. I must be wacko to be listening to someone who sees spirits. What a lie, he's interesting.

As I closed my eyes, I think I started falling asleep....

In my dream...

I was in a room, a white room. There was furniture and a bunch of other things, but they were all covered in what seemed to be a kind of white paint. Then there was me; I was wearing black sneakers, black jeans, and a black tshirt. What the hell am I doing here? There's nothing here for me to do!

So I went ahead and sat down on one of the white chairs, just looking around. Who would do this to a room? Who would cover everything in white like this? It looks different, from what I'm used to.

"So you're finally here. I thought you'd never get here." A familiar voice said.

"T-Taekwoon?" I asked.

There he was. He walked in the white covered room, wearing the exact same thing as me.

"Hey Wonshik." He smiled at me. "It's been a while, hasn't it?"

"Taekwoon!" I exclaimed, with tears coming out from my eyes. I quickly got up from the chair and ran to him. My arms were wide open, and when I reached him, I wrapped my arms around him and squeezed the life out of him.

"I missed you too Wonshik." I unwrapped my arms from him and backed away.

"Wait a second, this isn't real. You're, dead." I stopped talking. It can't be real, it's just a dream, isn't it?

"I am dead, but this is real."

"What? Does that mean I'm dead too? Did Jaehwan kill me?" I asked, but all I could hear was him laughing.

"HAHAH!!! Oh gawd Wonshik, you think you're boyfriend would kill you? He loves you."

"Then, how can I see you? And touch you? AND TALK TO YOU? I must be going out of my mind right now..." I fell to the ground and zoned out. I was just thinking; how could this be happening?

"It's hard to explain, and it's quite long too, but I want to tell you Wonshik; it wasn't your fault."

He sat down on the floor beside me and held my hand. His hand was colder then mine, but that's how I remembered it.

"What do you mean Taekwoon? Y-You died because of me. How can you say it wasn't my fault?"

"It wasn't. It was those people who kidnapped me. They killed me, they beat me to death! So it wasn't your fault, I want you to know that. I want you to hear that come from me."

"O-Okay Taekwoon, I understand, but-"

He stopped me from speaking and put his lips on top of mine. His lips, this kiss, I've missed this. I've missed being with him, talking with him, even just seeing him.

"Wonshik, I'm going to have to go soon, and-"

"No! You can't go yet!" I told him. He couldn't leave yet! We still have so much to do, to talk about. It's too early to say goodbye.

"I have to Wonshik. I'm not longer needed on earth, but you are. Jaehwan is waiting for you, and he'll be needing you. You have to focus on him now, not me."

"I know, but Taekwoon..." Tears were falling down my face now, and they weren't tears of happiness.

"Kim Wonshik, look at you now! You're getting so much better without me by your side, and now Jaehwan will be with you along your journey. Please, for me to rest in peace.... You have to say it. We have to say goodbye, for good now."

"I-I, alright Taekwoon. You'll always be in my heart."

"And you'll always be in mine. I'll never forget you."

"Goodbye Taekwoon." I said softly.

"Goodbye Wonshik..." He finally said, then he started to fade away and in the end he disappeared completely.

Back to reality now... (He basically woke up...)
(Now this part of the story, will be told from Jaehwan's POV)

"Goodbye Taekwoon..." He whispered to himself.

Taekwoon's task, was finally completed. He's gone now...

"Don't forget us Taekwoon." I whispered to myself, unaware if Taekwoon heard what I said or not.

"AHH!!" Wonshik gasped for air. His eyes opened widely and he woke up I guess.

"So Wonshik, how are you?" I said with teary-eyes.

"Oh Jaehwan..." He stood up and wrapped his arms tightly around me. I wrapped my arms around him and patted his back. He wasn't saying anything, however all you could he him doing; was sniffling. He was crying. Poor Wonshik, this must be so hard for him. To say goodbye to someone he loved with all his heart.

"It's okay Wonshik, I'm here. If you need anything right now, tell me and I'll get it."

"Jaehwan, I need you to..." We both unwrapped our arms from each other and gazed into each other's eyes. "... I need you to be more careful. What I mean is, I have to protect you all the time. I'm not going to lose you."

"O-okay Wonshik, I promise you that." We both smiled at each other and went inside the house. When we went inside, instead of going back to my room, we walked over to the couch and just sat down. His arm around me, and we both closed our eyes. There, we fell asleep, feeling happy and sad, at the same time.
