I looked everywhere but at Younghoon as he clasped a necklace around my neck. "Couldn't you have done it from behind?" "Then I wouldn't be able to see your adorable face." "Stop it..." He kissed my forehead then held my hand. "Whatever Juyeon told you last night, don't let it get to you. You can always depend on me." I nodded then watched as he got up to leave. I held him back by his shirt then released him as I came to my senses. "Sorry...I usually only do that with Joon..." "Oh." I continued to look down then heard the door close.
I looked at the time on my phone and saw that we were going to be leaving soon. I double checked to make sure I had everything. I thought about Hyunjoon and how happy he'd be to see me, unaware of the fact that I'm still sneaking behind his back. "Maybe I should just break up with him...It pains me..." I decided to do it after we got back to the school. I decided to make plans to see my family this coming weekend to celebrate my birthday with them. "My birthday..." I had almost forgotten about it. I wondered if they had planned anything for then.
"Come on, we're leaving." I gathered my things and hurried over to Haknyeon. "Where's-" "Entrance." Sure enough, they were waiting there. They didn't say anything and I wondered why. We walked down in silence then noticed a familiar spot. I saw that they noticed it as well and walked over. "Let's come back here next year." The other two didn't respond then walked away. I looked down and was genuinely surprised by the height. I don't know what happened, but Juyeon and Younghoon has started arguing. Haknyeon had already gone ahead, so I was on my own. "Hey, could you-" Younghoon pushed me down then stormed off as Juyeon followed. "Come on, Eric or else we'll leave you."
I proceeded to get up, but my hand slipped and I fell back. At first there was nothing then pain started rushing in like crazy. I had shut my eyes as I continued to hit sharp edges. The back of my head had hit something and control of my body was soon lost. The pain was unbearable and it was becoming hard to breathe. I had finally stopped falling, but was rendered completely lame. I felt my body becoming cold then lost consciousness.
Haknyeon
I looked behind me and saw Younghoon and Juyeon about to go at it again. I was getting tired of it. "Hey! Can you two cut it out?" They walked up to me then sneered. "Butt out of this. You're irrelevant." "I'm what?" I was ready to fight both of them at this point. "Where's Eric?" "Behind u-" They looked back and saw that he wasn't. "I could've swore he..." We hurried back and saw his stuff still there. "Do you think he forgot something?" "I'll go check." I hurried back to the inn and was told he hadn't come back.
End Haknyeon
Younghoon
I looked around in case he had fallen and hoped he hadn't. I peered over the edge then noticed something familiar. "His scarf..." I hurried past Juyeon and ran as fast as I could. If he fell, then it would be considered my fault, wouldn't it? I arrived at the screen out of breath and saw Eric lying in a pool of blood. I ran over to his side and shook him. "Eric! Eric!" He wasn't responding and I grew more concerned. I felt for a pulse and felt my heart sink. I dialed 119 and told them the situation. I tried my best to hold back my tears, but they all came rushing down like Niagara Falls.
Eric was already dead.
