I've Never Dreamed

Part 46 [Mei's POV]

My eyes are wide open, staring at the person who jumped in front of me. The boy sinks down to the ground, and I just stand there in shock.

"You're too great to die, sister" Kim Young says smiling, while choking on his own blood.

No...this can't be happening.

*Taeyang was aiming for Mei's heart, but when Kim Young jumped in the way, he ended up shooting Kim Young in his chest*

A tear falls from my cheek, and in an instant, I grab Jin's gun shooting Taeyang in the head. Top pulls out his gun ready to shoot, but Jungkook's gun fires before I can even rest my finger on the trigger, killing Top.

*Jin quickly pushes Mei out of the way, and over to Jiao. Jiao was the one who called out for Kim Young and Mei only moments ago.

Where two hallways intersect (where the guns are being shot), there's an opening leading to the main entrance of the building which is where Mei, Jiao, Lay, and Suho are at this moment.

All Mei can hear is the sounds of guns firing away. She closes her eyes for a split second to recap what happened. Jiao, Suho, and Lay have no clue what's going on, only that guns are going off and they need to get out of the way. Suho pulls the two girls behind a large, and torn down white board, as a shield. They squat down, and listen to the empty bullets hit the ground*

"Are you hurt?" Suho asks me concerned, and I just look up to him with tears in my eyes. All of a sudden, Lay tumbles over to us.

"Mei?" Jiao asks for my attention, but I just stare at the white wall across from us. Guns are still going off, but I can hardly hear them.

*Mei turns around and looks over to the hallway. She looks down at her brother, whom ia lying in a puddle of black blood. Mei literally can not believe her eyes. Her brother is her other half; he can not be dead.

Mei's eyes then go black, and she faints*

-

I sit up, only to realize I'm in the back seat of a car. I look around confused, but then I see Jiao on the right side of me, and Lay on the left. While Jin drives and Suho rests in the passenger's seat.

"Where are we going?" I ask still confused. Jiao looks as me. It looks as if she's been crying.

"The Hotel...do you remember anything?" She asks me, but I just look at her crazy. "Being kidnapped, killing Taehyung. You don't remember anything?" She seems worried.

As the words spit out her mouth, memories shoot back into my head. I was kidnapped in the elevator. Uh, the power went out. I remember seeing Jungkook when I was carrying my brother.

*Then it clicked*

My brother's dead. Taeyang killed my brother. I killed Taeyang. I actually killed someone...my brother's dead.

*Mei's head is spinning, and Jiao can tell by Mei's plain facial expression. Although Kim Young and Jiao were hardly ever kind to each other, they loved each other dearly. Kim Young used to even have a crush on Jiao, yet with in time their relationship turned into a brother sister bond , and nothing more. Unlike Mei, Jiao was in tears when Jin explained what happened. She couldn't hold herself together. When she heard the news, she quickly left the building, got in her car, and cried alone. Jiao's never lost a family member, and she doesn't know how to handle it. While on the other hand Mei's plain out in denial.

"He's dead." I state and Lay looks over to me shocked at my words. I stare at the console in between the driver and passenger's seat. Jiao doesn't look at me once, knowing that if she does she'll cry. I don't want her to cry, in all honesty, I've never really seen her cry. Yet, I need a shoulder to cry on, and I can't use Jiao's! Aish!

I can't take this in all by myself. My brother, last sibling, is dead. First it's my sister, then my dad, and now my brother! What's next? My mom?!

*Mei thinks to herself, in slience, on the way back to the hotel. When they arrive, Mei leaves the car immediately and heads straight up to her floor. As she exits the elevator she sees someone's back. It's a male, and he's standing right in front of her door. Mei walks up behind him queitly, already knowing who it is by the smell of his sweet shampoo*

"Baekhyun?" I ask, holding back my tears. Baekhyun turns around shocked to see me standing in front of him.

"Uh hey Mei. I just want to apologize for-" He starts, but I cut him off with a hug. My eye's then start pouring out waterfalls. Instead of fighting them this time, I just let my tears fall.

*When Baekhyun notices that she's crying he hugs her back, making Mei feel worse insdie for getting so much comfort when she believes it's her fault her brother's dead. Mei's voice is scratchy as she attempts to lay out what happened*

"My brother's dead! My sister's dead! My father's dead! Everyone's dead! Why does everyone keep dying around me Baek?!" I ask crying, and burry my head in his chest. Baekhyun strokes my hair from the back, and just holds me tight.

*Baekhyun got startled when he heard her say her brother. He wants to make her forget what happened, but he doesn't know how, or if it's even possible.

While Mei was missing for a day, Baekhyun didn't even notice. He was avoiding her since the dinner party. Secretly he wanted to see her and kiss her, but he hurt her by bringing another women to the party. He didn't know if she'd want to see him. Yet he finally decided to see her, and that's why he was standing in front of her door only moments ago.

The two eventually end up on the couch in Mei's hotel room. Mei ends up falling asleep while crying on Baekhyun. Baekhyun's arm is wrapped around Mei's shoulders, and Mei's head rests on the left side of Baekhyun's chest. While listening to Mei's story about what happend, he couldn't help but allow a few tears to drop. He hid his tears from Mei, knowing that if she saw him cry it'd just make the situation worse, and Baekhyun doesn't want to make anything anymore worse then what it already is*

She just lost her brother, and really the only close family she has is Jiao. I can't believe all of this happened to her in just a 2 day radius. If I wouldn't have gotten jealous over Suho, everything would be fine. Kim Young would be alive (Baekhyun doesn't know how Kim Young got brought into this), Mei would be happy, and all would be right in the world. It's all my fault.

*Baekhyun finds out some way to blame this on himself, and he can't help but want to cry again. Yet this time he's going it to the bathroom. Baekhyun starts to stand up slowly, but Mei pulls him back down, and sits up wiping her drained eyes*

"I was going to the bathroom, sorry to wake you" Baekhyun apologizes.

"Just please don't leave my side Byun Baekhyun. I need you" I intertwine my fingers with his, and lean my head on his shoulder. I feel pathetic with out my brother. I've never felt this empty in my life. My younger brother is dead, and there's nothing I can do about it, but mourn. I need Baekhyun with me, he's my shoulder to cry on.

"Trust me, I'd never dream of it" Baek places a kiss on my head, and it brings a slight smile to my lips.
