imaginary friend - red velvet

xxi

park sooyoung (joy) and kim yerim (yeri)

extra: bae juhyun (irene) and son seungwan (wendy) and kang seulgi (seulgi)

when yerim woke up, she was in the hospital. she had been admitted after getting a bad concussion due to a blow to the head. juhyun was dead. by the time juhyun's parents had came home and had seen juhyun, she was dead. 

seungwan was dead, seulgi was dead, and now juhyun was dead. now it was her turn. 

yerim was released from the hospital after the nurses checked up on her. while she was walking home, sooyoung appeared next to her, cheerful. "hi, yerim!"

yerim jumped, her heart nearly leaping out of her chest. "hi, sooyoung. what do you need?"

"i just wanted to show you my grave," sooyoung said. "i figure that you would want to see it and pay condolences."

so sooyoung led yerim to the graveyard in which her grave was after yerim bought a small bundle of flowers. 

it was a slow and agonizing walk for yerim. there was a dark feeling in her gut that warned her of danger, but there was nothing she could do at this point. she was literally walking to her death, she supposed. 

when they got to sooyoung's grave, yerim couldn't help but notice the strange location it was at. it was on top of a small cliff, and the bottom was roughly 100 feet below them. nonetheless, yerim paid her condolences. she set down the flowers and said a quick message. 

sooyoung sighed. "i'm sorry, yerim."

yerim looked to the ghost. "what do you mean?" she asked sooyoung, confused. her mind told her to run as fast as she could to get away, but her feet remained planted on the floor. 

"i'm sorry," sooyoung repeated, and pushed her down the cliff. 

yerim find the voice to scream. as she fell, she felt as if her heart were getting lighter. she didn't have the burden of murder as she was falling to her own death. 

the falling wasn't what hurt. 

it was the impact.
