Sorry I haven't been updating for half a month - I've been just procastinating to be honest. I procrastinated all my assignments and have been watching Supergirl and Flash all day... so... and I had to vote on MAMA with 30 accounts a day .. soo (BTW: GO VOTE IN MAMA IF YOU HAVEN'T)

I rushed to the ICU where Athena was being held. My heart and legs felt weak as I ran. Please be okay... please be okay. I prayed deep inside a million times. When I got there, I saw the nurse leaving, taking away the defribrillator with her.

"Time of death, 7:23pm. Cause of death, fracture of multiple rib bones." the doctor sighed. "No! Athena!" I cried as I grabbed her cold hands. Her eyes were shut while blood was all over her. "Doctor, please save her. Please do something!" I yelled.

"I'm sorry but one of the patient's fracture bones went through her artery. There was nothing we could've done to save her." the doctor patted my shoulder and left. "Athena... I'm so sorry. I should've picked up your phone this morning. I... I..." Tears leaked down my cheeks endlessly as I sobbed.

"Seo Eun ssi..." a familiar voice spoke behind me. I turned to see Yoongi standing. "Y-Yoongi..." I stuttered, thinking of right words to speak but there was nothing I could say. "I got in touch with her soul... don't worry, she's gone to a better realm." he said. "I'm sorry." I said while gluing my eyes to the ground out of guilt.

"You need to turn him in before things get worse." he muttered. "You know I can't!" I sighed. "You don't understand-" but I cut him off. "You don't understand. I love him Yoongi, I can't afford to lose him again. If you ever have contact with Athena, please tell her I'm sorry I couldn't pick up her call." I stood up trying to leave. "You know I can track you down wherever you are, right? Stop running, you don't know what you've costed." he said.

I ignored him as I stepped on the cab I saw on the exit and left. I felt bad but I couldn't just give in Samuel like that... after all these years.

(At the hotel)

"How is she?" Samuel asked as soon I came in. I didn't answer him and just cried. "Oh my god, baby, I'm so sorry." Samuel pulled me into his embrace. I let out all the tears on his torso while he soothed my back. "Don't cry... alright... she'll be fine." he assured. "I should've picked up her call this morning." I sobbed.

"Don't blame yourself... you didn't know this would happen." he said. He took me to bed as I lied down on his torso while he wrapped his arms around me. "I've got good news to brighten your mood." he spoke while brushing my hair. "Earlier when you left... I suddenly felt like I've been recharged... you know... I'm starting to take my human form. Soon it's going to be permanent." he said. "Really? I can't wait to be together... happily forever." I smiled while scooting closer to him.

(Three weeks later)

We were passing by the bar where I first met Yoongi. Samuel and I bought food for the week while finding a small job for the moment. Suddenly I saw the bar was restricted to enter with yellow tapes around them. "What happened there?" I asked a local guy who was watching near me.

"It was horrible, apparently someone started out a fight last night and three people died." he said. "I- I... even used to go there." I sighed. "Well you better stop coming around this neighborhood." the stranger shrugged. "Why would you say that?" I asked confusingly.

"You must be a tourist. This is the sixth murder case this month in this neighbor. Local people call it the plague. It's a believe that someone has broken the rules of nature so god is punishing us. I'm out of here." the stranger walked away.

"You heard him... is it because of .. us?" I turned to Samuel whose face was full with guilt and sadness. "What have we done..." he put his hands on my forehead and sighed. "We need to see Yoongi." I concluded. "You know you can't do that..." He shook his head. "Or what? Let all these people die?" I cried.

"No... we'll figure this out, alright?" he cupped my cheek and smiled. I pulled him into a long hug while trying to hide my tears. If those people really died because of me, I would never be able to forgive myself. "You know what? Let's go see your friend, I'm sure he can help." Samuel suggested, referring to Namjoon.

(At Namjoon's)

"Don't tell me you lost your passport!" he complained as soon as we came in. "I mean I always lose my passports but yours was one of a kind! I tried so hard on that." he muttered. "We did not lose the passport Namjoon." I rolled my eyes. "We're here because we have a question."

"Go on." Namjoon sat down and crossed his legs. "I heard people had been dying around the area and-" then he cut me off. "I get what you're about to say. And my answer is I don't know. I'm simply a tech guy. Don't be delulu here. I don't cast spells and bring dead people like Min Yoongi. I do passports and get backstage tickets at last minute." Namjoon took a deep breath after continuously speaking.

"But you knew everything last time!" I blurted. "See? You're delulu again. I'm the tech guy so news that goes around always pass through me. Are you guys seriously here to ask that?" he frowned. "I'm disappointed."

"Well, looks like you have no answers to let's leave." I told Samuel. "At least let me walk you guys out." Namjoon said. I nodded as we three walked out. I was about to hire a taxi till we heard a gun shot. A man dressed in black came out of the house next door, holding gun.

We three froze. "Shit, it's thugs." Namjoon whispered. "Don't even dare to call the police!" the thug pointed the gun at us. "Alright, get lost." Namjoon said. The thug was about to leave till he heard the police sirens. He seemed a bit angry and like he had some mental problems. It took him less than a second to let out his anger by pulling the trigger.

The bullet went right through my chest as I fell backwards. "No! Seo Eun!" it was the last thing I heard as my sight faded away.
