Labeled. (Baekhyun Fanfic.)

7: Promises.

Darcy. Darcy. Darcy.

Hyeri called out for her. She couldn't see through the thick gray fog. Reaching her arms out, she tried to push the mist away. 

"Darcy!" Hyeri called but to no avail. As she stepped further into the heavy condensation, she knew something was wrong. Suddenly, a small face appeared between the grayness. 

"Darcy?" Darcy's tiny body walked out of the fog. Blood seeped through her hospital gown. "Why are you bleeding?" 

"Hyeri," Her weak voice was hoarse and scratchy. 

"Yes?" Hyeri was frighten at the injured Darcy in front of her. Hyeri's frail arm tried to touch Darcy's face but Darcy backed off.

"Wake Up." Darcy said lastly before disappeared completely. Everything began spinning around, making Hyeri's head hurt.

Another voice called, "Wake up, Hyeri!"

Hyeri's eyes shot open and the hospital ceiling was the first thing she saw. Hyeri sat up and collected herself. "What? What is it?"

"Darcy.. her surgery is done but-"

"But what?" Hyeri questioned a worried Baekhyun.

"It didn't go as plan and... well, Darcy.. -"

"Baekhyun, please, please, don't tell me she's .............. gone." Warm tears blurred Hyeri's vision. 

"No.. she's alive but she won't be for long. The doctor said she'll only last for two to three days." Baekhyun's face sadden and Hyeri cried harder. He could do nothing but hug her tightly. 

"I shouldn't have forced the surgery on her. It's my fault." Hyeri muffled.

Baekhyun pulled away and wiped her salty tears with his thumbs, "If she didn't have this surgery, she would've died the hard way, she would've felt pain. Her death will be painless now, she'll finally stop hurting because of you. It's not your fault, Hyeri." 

"Baekhyun, I wanna see her." 

"She's taken to the recovery room. I'll take you soon."

Hyeri watched as Baekhyun tucked her blankets under her tiny body. "Baekhyun." She spoke softly. A single tear rolled down her pale cheek.

"Aigoo, Hyeri." Baekhyun pulled her into another hug. His arms wrapped around her small head and her cries were muffled. 

"Baekhyun, I-" Her tears poured, "I'm not doing well."

"What do you mean?" He pulled her away to face her. Holding her by her shoulders, he looked down at a distressed Hyeri.

"I'm not doing so well, Dr.Taemin told me earlier today. I was too focused on Darcy that I forgot to eat and take my pills and now that she's dying, it only makes my depression worse. What if I fall back into that hell hole of stress again? I can't! Baek, you hear me? You can't let me fall back!" Hyeri sobbed into her palms."You can't." 

"Hyeri, Hyeri, listen to me." Baekhyun carefully removed her hands from her face, "I won't let you go back, you hear? I won't ever ever let you." 

"It's not going to be easy, you and I both know that." Hyeri sniffed.

"But I'll try, we'll try. We will get through this, mark my words Kyo Hyeri." Hyeri didn't respond, instead she quickly sat up and hugged Baekhyun once more.

"She's fragile, so be careful." Baekhyun pushed open the door and Darcy laid in bed, staring at the ceiling. Her montior beeping every three seconds. This room was smaller and it only fit one bed. It was one of the private rooms. A big window was on Darcy's right and sad clouds hung low.
