Hello?
{Hyukjae?}
Yes?
{I sent you a plane ticket to New York. You have to come here now!}
Why? What's wrong?
{Just come now! The plane leaves in a hour. Go now! Please.}
He hung up the phone. I think it was Donghae's brother, Donghwa.
Something was wrong.
It's been 2 years now and Donghae hasn't contacted me ever since he went to New York. But his brother calls? What's going on with that.
I started to pack my suitcase so I can leave to the airport soon.
"Sora I'm leaving! I'll be back in a couple weeks or so!"
I was officially an adult now. Well graduating high school is considered being an adult.
Would it be wrong if I forgot about him? He couldn't have forgotten about me right? There has to be a reason why he didn't call.
New York
I was at the airport, I had to look for someone holding a board that said 'Eunhyuk'.
"Lee Eunhyuk!" I turned and saw someone waving a board with my name on it. I smiled and ran to the person.
"Please follow me to the car." he said as he started to walk fast. I followed him.
"So why was I called here so suddenly?" I asked while looking out the window of the car.
"I'm so sorry about Donghae."
I turned and looked at him.
"He left 2 years ago, he was suppose to come back this year actually but I guess he wanted me to come here." I tried to smile about it.
"Where are we going?"
The man stayed silent.
Who was this guy anyways? What if he was a rapist?
20 minutes soon passed by. Then 30. I fell asleep thinking about why I'm here.
"Wake up" I opened my eyes and looked at the man.
"Why?" I asked, closing my eyes so I can sleep again.
"We're here." I sat up straight looking around.
"Where are we?"
The man got out of the car, ignoring my question. I got out and followed him inside.
"Where are we?" I asked again loudly.
He stopped moving. He then gestured me to go inside the room. I nodded and walked through the door. I looked up and saw a body on the bed. There was a blanket covering it's face. I turned around and the man was looking at me sadly.
"What is this a joke?" I pulled the blanket off. I nearly fainted.
"Wh-what?" I fell to the ground.
Donghae was laying on the bed, not moving at all.
"Mr. Lee Donghae was shot after getting of the bus to time square. We don't know who did it or why. He has been in this state for 2 years, that's why you didn't hear from him. He is in a coma. So don't worry your little heart."
I stood up and moved towards Donghae.
"Will he be alright? What if he dies?"
"He might as well be dead." the man left the room. I was alone with my possibly dead boyfriend.
I went to his side, holding his hand. I could feel the tears filling my eyes. Ever since he left, I stopped crying. Nothing hurt me more than him leaving me. Sora's disappearance also hurt me but she came back. This time, I don't know if he'll come back. I walked over to the other side and brought a chair to the side of the hospital bed.
"Donghae..." I started to say.
"You promised me that you wouldn't be in the hospital again." I tried to smile but it made me cry more. I held on to his hand.
"You can't leave like this Donghae. I've been saving up my money because I knew one day you'll comeback. I even bought a ring, I wanted to be with you forever and I wanted to propose to you but now I'm too late." I put my head down on the bed and started crying.
"Please don't leave Lee Donghae."
I tightened my grip on his hand.
"It's not like I want to leave you." a voice behind me said. I lifted my head slowly and looked at him. He couldn't have said anything. I turned my head and saw something bright. It was blinding. I felt a pang in my head. There was a rush of pain in my body.
What's going on? I couldn't open my eyes. Was this death?
I could feel my body drop to the floor.
"Eunhyuk? Eunhyuk!" the voice was fading away.
The last thing I saw was Donghae's smiling face.
"It'll be okay" he said while smiling.
Eunhyuk!
The voice was drifting farther and farther away. I could slightly see Donghwa's face, he was screaming my name, or it seemed like it. Everything I ever wanted or had felt like it was taken away from me.
"You promised me hyung...." even Donghae's voice and smiling face was fading away...
