flowers [kim doyoung]

seventeen

after she decides to get off, she suddenly disappears.

i knew this isn't over yet. but i can't imagine anything.. it felt numb.

what catches my eyes now is there stood keiko in front of me. she looks disheveled. it's almost scary to see her like this. she had her hair in a mess, it sticks up in every direction. her light blue blouse was torn, leaving bad scratches on her skin. her white pants are stained with.. with blood.

and below her, blood had pooled under her legs.

what is happening? i don't want her to be hurt.

she looks up to me, with bruised lips and cuts everywhere "doyoung.. please help me.. why are you doing this? why?.." her voice quivers badly. i can't stand it, looking at her. but, what did i do? apart of that, she used to be a galaxy, so mysterious yet so beautiful. cunning in every way but never fails to make me gasp.

now, it's like seeing her world falling apart. more skeptically, my world falling apart. gosh, what in the world did i do this time?

"what-what happened keiko?" i opened my mouth, surprised that i had some of my voice even though my throat burns now.

tears falling down her cheeks, i almost panicked. "why are you letting me killing you? why didn't you stand up for yourself? doyoung please it hurts seeing you like this. i don't care that i looked like this, i hurt myself just to prevent me from killing you" she sobbed as she fell to her knees, asking, begging to me to answer her question.

i had no idea what to say? i mean— she's trying to kill me, what should i do? i looked at her and i didn't realized that i was crying too.

"doyoung.. she controls me. i don't want to kill you. she wants me to kill you doyoung.. please get away from me" she begs and she looks awfully vulnerable.

"i can't. i don't know why but i won't because i.. i love you" i whispered, knowing that this is the truth.

she looked at me with wide eyes. her eyes that was once full of stars and curiosity was now being replaced with a dull look. she looked shocked, she wouldn't expect this anyway.

zaya came out of nowhere after my short confession. she looked threatened and angry.she stands behind keiko and i finally noticed that she is holding a dagger.

realizing what is her motive, i tried to break free but it was useless.

"keiko! behind you!" i yelled as i had my breath ragged.

keiko turned around and tried to run but zaya had stabbed the dagger into keiko's stomach.

blood oozed out of her like water running out of a faucet. i wailed as i tried to break free from the tie that had tied me on the chair.

at one point, i managed to break free of it and ran towards keiko. zaya was not longer there, disappeared into thin air.

my tears wouldn't stop. i hate myself now. i came to her and hold her head onto my lap.

"keiko, keiko.. no please.. don't die. don't die on me keiko! please.. stay alive for me.. please" he pleaded to her. keiko was at the edge of her life.

she had lost too much blood.

"do-doyoung.. don't cry, love" she caressed doyoung's face. she wiped his tears that keep on streaming down from his eyes.

"i will always.. always be there with you.. in.. in here" she points her finger at doyoung's heart. doyoung chokes a sad smile as he cradles her in his arms

"don't cry. remember that i.. i love you.. too" she whispered her last breath before everything becomes black. forever.

"no.. no.. keiko wake up. don't die.. i know you're just sleeping.. please..KEIKO!"

she was startled by doyoung's screaming and crying in his sleep. she never seen him so helpless like this.

doyoung was screaming so loud. he was screaming about her. his tears, the one from his eyepatch had tiny petals. so tiny that in looked like doyoung had cried blood.

"no...no..keiko wake up. don't die.. i know you're just sleeping.. please.. KEIKO!!" he yelled again and keiko was in the verge of tears.

"DOYOUNG WAKE UP!" she yelled, looking pathetic in front of him.

doyoung finally wake up, looking anxious. he had his eyes wide as he looked at keiko. keiko was alive in front of him.

he just realized that he had woke up. he's not in his nightmare anymore.

he came closer to keiko and quickly lift up keiko's shirt before she could stop him.

"hey!—"

"you're not hurt. no blood, you're alive" doyoung started to cry again.

and this time, he hugs keiko.
