¦7¦

The wind slid through Minho's hair making it twist and turn into wild knots as he stood just before the edge of a cliff, looking out to the ocean. It was as if he was waiting for something or someone to come visit him. He breathed in the fresh air as he watched the ocean waves press against the cliff wall over and over, spraying salty water up at him in big bursts. He waited until he felt a hand on his shoulder and he turned slowly, seeing the person he was waiting for.

"Jisung."

The name escaped his mouth as he saw the face of his most loved being, his eyes drinking in the beautiful sight. The images of their lovely moments flashing before Minho's eyes and he smiled softly at his lover. Jisung never said anything as his hand fell down to his side, staring at Minho with weakened eyes. Minho's hand reached up to his cheek, seeing the broken look Jisung had on his face, his smile dropping into a frown. Jisung flinched away, shaking his head as he stepped backwards. Minho face turned into a pained look as his and hand froze in the air.

"Jisung... please don't hate me."

Jisung never spoke as he continued to slink away, but Minho grabbed hold of his arms before he could get further away, pulling him toward his body. "Please..."

Jisung fought his grip, beginning to push Minho backward towards the edge of the cliff, incoherent shouts of anger escaping his lips. Minho let Jisung shove him until the tips of his feet were barely gripping onto the cliff. He looked behind him his eye widening before he looked back at the fuming Jisung. Minho let tears fall down his face as he realised Jisung wasn't going to stop, not until Minho would go over the edge. He didn't want Jisung to be the one at fault for his his death so he held his hand out to stop him from making anymore regretful decisions, solemnly staring back into his eyes.

"I love you." Minho said, never moving his gaze away from Jisung as they stared at one enough. "You're better off without me, and you know it too."

Jisung stopped in confusion before he was going to push Minho again, the anger he had diminishing as his eyes darted around and they widened in realisation of what he was doing. Minho shuffled slowly off the edge and Jisung reached out to him, panicking as Minho begun to fall backwards. This wasn't what Jisung had intended but Minho knew it was the only way for both of them to feel some sense of relief.

"MINHO!"

Minho closed his eyes, letting the rest of his tears fall down his face before he let the darkness consume him and felt himself leave the world still hearing Jisung's sorrowful cries.

He deserved this... It was all his fault.

Minho pryed open his eyes, groaning as they adjusted to the brightly lit room, looking around the bare and dull room. His dream drifting away and disappearing from his mind, as he furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, not knowing where he was and attempted to lift his body upwards to stand but fell back down, gasping in pain. His whole side was throbbing in pain and he scrunched his face up as he tried to move his body into a less painful and more comfortable position. He froze mid movement when he heard loud footsteps coming his way, holding his breath as he waited for unknown person. 

He tried to listen for the footsteps, listening for a familiar pattern of someone he knows but no one came to mind. The sound of someones fingers tapping on the door caused Minho to tense up before the door opened with a loud squeak. His gaze came into contact with someone he had met before but he couldn't quite remember where from. 

"Afternoon Minho." The male spoke and Minho didn't answer as he continued to stare at the male motionless. His eyes followed the movement of the other person, his body not cooperating with his mind as he screamed inwardly at himself to run since the door was left wide open but he just couldn't get his legs to work. He continued eyeing the male, his eyes trailing  to a cup in his hands. "I've got some herbal tea for the pain I know you're having."
