Sung Jiyeon's POV

"He called your name as 'Ms Sung'?" asked Jeongyeon, looking surprised. I nodded vigorously, feeling mad.

"What happened to Yeonkie, Shortie, and Iyeonie?" she asked again, chuckling slightly from the nicknames.

"I don't know.." I said slowly, resting my chin on the pillow I'm hugging. I don't feel any anger or whatsoever, I'm just a bit upset that he's starting to forget me in his life.

"And what else?" she asked impatiently, leaning back against the sofa.

"I- I er — I dreamt about him.." I said, a sad tone in my voice. My eyes looking a bit teary, I bit my lip to hold my tears.

"What dream? You two got married?" She asked, I shook my head in a very sad way. She gave me a sideways glance as if she's waiting for me to tell her.

"He's in a hospital..." I began, Jeongyeon looked surprised so she leaned closer at me to hear me clearly, "A-And.. he's telling something that.. that.. he did that for me t-to live l-longer.." I paused, a tear escaped from my eye.

"And he.. he.. died." I said, my voice cracked, I started to cry my heart out on the pillow. Jeongyeon patting my back gently.

"Hush Hush, that was just a dream, wasn't it?" assured Jeongyeon now hugging me to comfort me.

"Y-Yeah.. but it seemed real.." I said, she released our hug and grabbed my shoulders tightly.

"Jiyeon.. That won't happen.. I know there's part of you that you really really love Jimin. But everyone is not immortal, some of them die or perhaps us, maybe. Everyone receives consequences because you can't have positive things all day. It also serves as a lesson."

"Everyone loses a precious thing in their lives so if you really love that thing, you should give care to it. Never forget it."

"I don't understand.." I said.

Jeongyeon sighed, "Jiyeon if you're wondering why he's avoiding you, well you should think that you're still taking the first step." she said heavily.

"But —" I said but she cut across me.

"I bet you've been forcing himself to talk to you after all those things you did to him to make him away from you." she guessed which is right.

I opened my mouth to argue but she put a hand to silent me.

"Do you think that you can reach the last step without stepping on the lower ones?" she asked, raising a brow.

I think that this is not our time to argue because she's right, "No." I said sharply.

She smiled, "That's right, every step has a challenge so you need bravery." she said, brandishing a finger.

"Right." I said sharply again, "But if he ignores me well I'll ignore him too." I said immaturely, crossing my arms.

She shook her head slightly as if she's disagreeing about the fact I'm ignoring Jimin, "What if the person you've been ignoring didn't wake up tomorrow?" she asked hastily without even stuttering.

Her words made my heart sank deeply, "Impossible." I argued even though the words I really want to say is 'You've always been right at everything.'.

I remembered my dream again, "I don't want to sleep.." I said slowly.

"If you're thinking about the dream you had about Jimin," she began, "You should live." she said clearly.

"What do you mean?" I asked in confusion but she ignored my question.

"And if you're worrying about me, don't." she said, shaking her head.

"What?? I should worry —"

She cut across me by hugging me tightly.

"Either one of us is about to die early but the other one should live."

"You're my best friend, Jiyeon.. Forever.."

She said heavily, I didn't see her face if she's crying or not but her sentence made my heart sank again.

What does she mean?
