Intelligence

It's been three hours already, still no news about Jaeyong.

I was nervously twiddling my fingers while Haneul, was pacing back and forth.

Her long raven hair was swaying side to side as she kept pacing quickly.

You wouldn't believe that we were sisters, we did not look alike.

I had light brown hair, while she had raven black.

She had dark chocolate eyes while I, had light brown.

She had light pale ivory skin while I, had tan skin.

She was short, while I was tall.

She had an adorable wide smile, while I always had a straight face.

She had a narrow face and a defined jaw, while I had puffy cheeks and a wide face.

We were nothing alike.

The doctor finally came out of the surgery room, he had a tired look on his face.

"We were able to save him, but he does not have much time left to live."

"W-What do you mean?"

"His tumor keeps regrowing, and the surgeries aren't helping. We can't help him anymore and only time will tell." He sighed.

Hanging my head low, I let Haneul talk to the doctor.

First my parents, now my little brother?

Why not me?

Again, my phone went off.

It was them again.

Unknown number: I know your brother won't live longer, I'm sorry.

Please, leave me alone.

Unknowingly, tears started to stream down my face.

My life is going down,

It's crumbling beneath me.

"Hae-ah, go home I think you need some time alone." Haneul spoke from walking back from talking with the doctor.

You need the rest more than me.

Without responding, I stood up and walked out of the hospital.

I passed by the alley, but I did not stop.

I did not want to see what was there anymore.

I stopped at a nearby park, not far from home and the alley.

Sitting down on a bench, I put my hands on my head as I started to get a migraine.

It was extremely painful, and it felt as it shards of glass were piercing my head.

Looking up, I saw a shadow approach me.

It wasn't a person, but a shadow.

I must be imagining things, this migraine hurts too much.

"You didn't stop at the alley." The shadow spoke.

Shocked, I flinched and fell off the bench in the process.

The voice, it was deep and husky.

"I'm imagining this, yep." I muttered to myself as I clutched to my head harder.

"But you're not." It spoke up.

This time, I decided to remove my hands from my head and look at the shadow.

But, it wasn't a shadow anymore.

It was person.

But, what is it really a person?

They had raven black hair, the same color as Haneul's and the exact same green eyes that stared at me in the alley before.

They were wearing a fancy black collared shirt, with black jeans and black boots.

They were completely pale, and had a small stream of red dried liquid near the sides of their mouth.

"W-Who are you?"

"You're monster."
