You've Changed My Binary World

Shattered

Ring! Ring!

I grab my phone and see Saeran's name pop up on the screen. I click the green answer button and put it up to my ear.

"What's wrong?" I ask, quickly. "Is she okay?"

"Am I not just allowed to call you?" Saeran huffs.

"You never call me unless something's happened." I frown. "What happened?"

"Well... Um... MC came into the kitchen to help me cook dinner. We were having a lot of fun until she hit the little table in the hallway." Saeran's voice shook as he told me the story. "The vase fell and it shattered on her leg. Now there are pieces of glass in her leg, so we're taking her to the hospital. And don't worry, Zen's driving."

"Can I talk to her?" I ask.

"No, she passed out from pain." Saeran says.

"Okay... Um... Call me back when she wakes up." I mumble.

"Alright, bye." Saeran hangs up. I put my phone down and hold my face in my hands.

"Alright, men and women." General Lee spoke, entering the room. "Captain Choi, can you come up here?" I get up and stand next to him. "I know that a lot of you are wondering what the billboard is for, well, since this is a life or death mission, this billboard is for pictures of someone you love. If you die on this mission we will use the contact into that should be on the picture to tell them. Any questions?"

No answer.

"Then put them up there." Lee calls. I go back to my cot and grab the only picture MC would let me take. Its the picture of me kissing her cheek and she's pretending to be disgusted by it. I put of on the billboard. "She's cute. Who is she?"

"My girlfriend." I respond.

"You two look happy." He nods.

"She's the best thing that's ever happened to me." I smile.

"Alright so here's where—" Lee began, but my phone interrupted him. I look at it. Saeran. I nod to Lee and he let's me go.

"Hello?" I ask, exiting the conference room.

"Hey, she's awake." Yoosung says.

"And?" I question.

"She said that she doesn't want to talk to you." He replies.

"What? Why?" I almost yell.

"MC said that you kissed her, so you don't deserve to talk to her." Yoosung says, indifferent. "I thought kissing was a good thing."

"Please put her on. I don't care if she doesn't want to talk or not." I frown. I hear shuffling.

"I said no!" I hear MC cry. "I don't want to talk to him!"

"Yes you do, MC." Saeran sighed. "You just told me that."

"Get it away from me!" MC shouts, I can her her sobbing.

"MC —" Yoosung began.

"Babe." I interrupt. I hear more shuffling.

"What." She huffs.

"Are you alright?" I ask.

"Why do you care?" She shot back.

"Because I love you." I mumble.

"No you don't, don't lie to me. I'm so sick and tired of the lies." She says.

"But I do —" I tried.

"Then why'd you leave me like that!?" MC ask.

"Baby, I can't just keep myself alive." I frown. "There are so many other people here. People who have kids, spouses, and family. I'm not going to be that selfish because I don't deserve you. There's no way in hell that I've ever deserved you. I'm nothing great; I'm a horrible person. If I die here, you can find someone who deserves you, who'll take care of you. Anyone but me." I hear her sniff.

"But that's why I'm mad." MC spoke, her voice shaking. "You're my everything. I can't just move on, I can't replace you, damnit. If you die, I'll never forgive myself. I'll never move on. I can't replace you, Saeran, Yoosung, Jumin, everyone can't just replace you. You're God 707, Defender of Justice, you're a bother, a friend, and the only person I want to wake up to. If that isn't enough, then I don't know what is, Saeyoung, but I love you too..."
