Dead//Baekhyun

0.9

BaekHee was beautiful at heart, her sympathy was cupped against my throat at any given moment of illness, including the given incident of my miscarriage. The thought of her pained expression had held my voice hostage.

"Helloooo?" She sang out. How broken she'd be to find out I was already eyeing another man only weeks after my husband's death.

"Uh Yes BaekHee, can you bring the phone up to me?" I had crossed my legs before holding my hands inwards to create an intricate pattern. BaekHee's long legs stalked up the stairs quietly and the phone was placed by my ear in mere moments.

"Here"

Silence had accumulated on the phone for a few seconds before a cheery Jongin appeared. "Hey Y/N!"

"Hi Jongin" the man was practically beaming with happiness and it was extremely apparent as I was on the other end of the line.

I could feel BaekHee's presence in the hallway, her wide eyes combing over my posture before her ears perked at the sound of Jongin's name.

"Look, I know I just saw you, but I'd really like to set up this date before it slips between my fingers"

Date?

"A date?" My time had seemed rather hopeful and I could see why when I had thought of Jongin's face.

"Yes, wherever you like. My treat."

"Sounds good to me. How does tomorrow sound?"

"Amazing, I'll see you tomorrow"

"Of course I'll see you there"

We had hung up shortly after and BaekHee has flung herself into the room like a rubber band on steroids.

"Who's Jongin?!" I had sighed, already prepping myself for this little talk. The heartbreak was apparent in her tone and I wanted to allow her to curl up in my arms and sob. You know your marriage is dead when your sister-in-law cries more about it than you do.

"Baekhyun- H-He just died Y-Y/N! You're already going on a date?!" Her makeup was streaky from the teardrops that trailed down. Her lips quivered as she began to blubber and within a few moments she had flung herself into my arms.

"I know you're trying to move on Y/N. I just don't want you to leave me behind now that you're finding someone new!" BaekHee wiped her nose over my blouse but in reality I didn't mind. She was one of my closest friends despite her brother's behaviour.

"You're always going to be my sister BaekHee, I-"

A heavy knock sounded from the front door and it didn't stop.

"Who's that?" BaekHee asked as I continued to run my nails through her hair.

"I don't know"
