Fated To Love You

24th string - A Bad Dream

MARCUS’ POV

“Will you be my boyfriend again?”

When she asked me that, I felt like I wanted to think about it first. I just can’t answer her now, especially that I feel like I’m starting to confuse my feelings for another with my feelings for her.

“I—“

Suddenly, Henry appeared.

“Hey, hyung, have you seen Rin?” He asked me and then scratched his head.

“But I thought you two were just walking behind us?” I replied to him quite starting to feel nervous.

“No. I told her I was going to the comfort room. So I left and I thought she was following you two.” He explained.

“What?! And how come she isn’t here now?!” I started to panic the moment I realized Rin is nowhere near us.

“Darn. Where did that girl ran off to.” Henry cursed.

“Let’s find her.   Let’s split to find her faster.” I told him quite exasperated.

“But how about her?” He pointed at Yuri.

Right.

“I’ll take her home first and then find Rin.” I said firmly.

Why is this suddenly happening?! I want to find that girl fast or else something might happen to her. What if she tripped and breaks a bone? What if some drunken men surround her and do something bad to her? What if she feels lonely now? What if she’s lost and just didn’t know how to go back here?!

A lot of things suddenly kept creeping up my imagination. Who knows what is happening to her now?

As I have taken Yuri home, I drove off in full speed to find her.

Where could she be?

I drove off to many places asking if she’s there but then they told me that they haven’t seen her. And I felt like I am at the verge of breaking down.

And then an idea just came to me. What if… just what if, she’s at that place again.

I drove off again knowing where I could finally find her.

RIN’s POV

I sat in the bus stop bench in silence.

I just felt like wanting to go home and embrace mom after hearing their conversation.

“Will you be my boyfriend again?”

If I have stayed there, what could have he answered?

Maybe…

He would gladly say yes to her since they were lovers and this is a chance to affirm their love.

But then at the back of my mind, it says,

Have hope.

But why?

When I know, I don’t even stand a chance of being together with him.

I sighed deeply and stared into dark space.

“Lucky are the stars, they have a lot of other stars to choose from whom they could be with.” I uttered.

Then suddenly I heard a loud voice calling for me.

“RIIIIN! You idiot!!!” …Marcus?!

Then I stood up and started to look for him in every direction.

Am I hearing it right or I am just actually dreaming?!

Then suddenly, as if God has permitted for it to happen, I felt something warm wrap around me. And then I  heard someone behind me huff and puff while trying to catch his breath.

“How could you… how could you simply run away!” He shouted and it was indeed Marcus.

“H-hey… how did you find me?” I asked him while trying to move away from his hold.

“D-don’t move! I look terrible right now.”

But then I ignored him and actually turned to face him, but then he held me tighter. So we are now face to face. And I could see his face full of worry.

“I’ve searched for you all over the place you idiot! How could you you run away like that?!” He asked me, while worry could be seen in his face.

“I—I’m sorry.” And then tears started to stream down my face.

“Hey…” He said softly and then he released me from his hold and started to wipe away my tears.

“Tell me what this is all about.” He said.

“I—I…” But I couldn’t bring myself to say to him my true feelings.

“Just tell me, and I will listen,” He pressed, but still being so gentle to me.

“I’m sorry…” I cried, “I was wrong for overhearing your conversation with your girlfriend, and it’s worse that I got so jealous the whole day when you were so close… and…” I sniffed and sniffed but then suddenly the whole scenario got turned over when I felt something warm touch my lips.

And as I open my eyes to reality, I saw that it is actually Marcus kissing me.

Is this just a dream?!

“Mmmmmm” Is only what I could mumble with my lips because he kept moving his lips to mine.

He then placed one of his hands on my back to pull me nearer to him and his other hand touched my cheek.

From that point, I realized that everything that’s happening is true and that this is all that matters at the moment.

Him and me.

As much as I wanted to be given the opportunity to be with him, maybe today is my chance.

I hope that my feelings will reach him.

And so, I responded with kissing him back. But then, water from the sky started to pour heavily and we pulled away from each other. I was staring into his eyes, and it was actually trapping my gaze. He stared back at me but then it felt like there is that certain uncertainty in his eyes.

That moment. I realized, this must just be a dream.

A bad dream.

He suddenly grabbed my hand and we strode off going to his car. When we got in, the air felt not so nice. The atmosphere was unreadable. Our expressions turned from longing to confusion.

I turned to him and saw him sigh deeply. He rested his head on the steering wheel lifelessly.

“For now, maybe I should take you home.” He said not looking at me and I just nodded in agreement.

His phone suddenly rings and he reached for it and accepted the call.

“Hello.” He said.

“Ne. It’s me, why… what happened?!” I looked at him again and his face turned from confusion to terror.

I’ve never seen him like this.

What must have had happened?

“Okay… Ne. Ne. Room 411. I got it. I’ll be there in a moment. Please do take care of her. Please.” And he ended the call and suddenly hit his hand on the steering wheel so hard that it surprised me.

“H-hey. Are you okay? Did something happen?” I asked him as I was quite confused of what the call was about that he ended up acting this way.

He turned to me, and I saw his eyes turn red with invicible tears and an expression of being in pain.

“Y-yuri got into an accident.” He told me, and suddenly, I felt the same horror that he felt.
