Yesterday's Devil

Chapter 43 (The End)

Kyungsoo

I was fumbling with the bandage around my hand as Monggu came up to me, licking my other hand. I noticed him and patted his head. "Do you miss Jongin too?"
He sat down and let me ruffle his fur. "I guess you do."

Since the day Jongin was shot and he was in the hospital I kept staying in his house to take care of Monggu. I had visited Jongin every day and told him how much I loved him and how sorry I was, even though he maybe couldn't hear me. It broke my heart to see him in this state because of me. I felt so bad.
Luckily he had woken up, but I was too scared to face him. So I had asked Baekhyun to keep an eye on him for me and he did.

Jongin was supposed to get out of the hospital today and Baekhyun and Chanyeol would pick him up to bring him home. I would be going out of his house before he would arrive so he wouldn't see me.
I had asked Baekhyun if Jongin talked about me but he hadn't and it hurt me.

I sighed and picked Monggu up to place him on my lap. "Don't worry, he'll come back today."

I had thought a lot about what had happened if Kris had just shot me instead. Would I have been dead by now or woken up like Jongin had? I wished it had gone like that anyway. I would die for him.

The sound of my ringtone sounded sharp through the silence that had been haunting the house for quite a long time now.
I reached out for my phone and picked it up from the coffee table. "Hello?"

"Kyung, it's me, Baekhyun."

"How's Jongin?" I immediately asked.

"You should come to the hospital," he said through the phone. "It's urgent."

"Is it bad?" I asked worried. "Is he okay?"

"Yes and no... Just come." He kept insisting.

"I'm coming right away." I said and Baekhyun ended the call.
I pushed Monggu gently off my lap and stood up. He looked up at me and tilted his head. "You should stay here," I told him before heading out of the door.

I took a bus to the hospital, but it didn't move quick enough for me. I was worried sick. Why hadn't Baekhyun just told me what was going on? I bit my lip while waiting impatiently.
As soon as I arrived I jumped out and started running towards the building.
I almost bumped into a doctor once I was inside. "Sorry," I excused myself.

"Mr Do?" The man asked. "Mr Byun said you would come."

I quickly nodded, "where's Kim Jongin?"

"I'm sorry sir, but he's gone." He replied.

"Gone?!" I exclaimed. "How do you mean gone?!"

"He walked out with a guy. He told us to give you this." The man got a small book out of his pocket and handed it to me.

It was the book with romantic poetry he had been reading when I had asked him on a date. I opened it and the first poem was underlined with a pencil.

Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift.
