TW / SUICIDE.

“i'll be back. take care of yourself.” heejin reminded hyunjin, making hyunjin blurt out a chuckle. she grinned, “yes, madame.” she said goofily. “always remember, i'm here for you. and a lot of people loves you, specially me.” heejin added. “of course. i love you, too. bestfriend.”

after that, heejin went to work. making hyunjin left alone. hyunjin's used to it, but sometimes she's scared. to fight over the horror, she decided to sleep.

later on, hyunjin woke up, feeling scared. anxiety's eating her whole body, making her form into a fetus. that scary feeling is back again, and heejin's not around, she's at work. she suddenly found herself crying, staring at heejin's medicine kit above the small fridge. she's having the urge, but she kept on fighting over it. she wanted to live, for heejin. she wanted to be happy . . . with heejin.

on the other hand, heejin greeted her last costumer with a cheerful smile, earning a praise for doing well. she bought breads before she left the bakery, thinking of hyunjin who's waiting for her at home.

on her way, heejin's phone ringed, thinking it might be hyunjin, she felt delighted. she answered the call, though it's not hyunjin. “hello?” she started, but a crying voice was she got for a reply. “heejin, yerim's dead.” haseul's voice cracked a little, followed by multiple sobs.

with that, heejin's world suddenly stopped, making her look pale and felt cold. she put down all of her things, running the distance towards yerim, her cousin. a very special person for her.

at the middle of crying, her phone ringed again, yet she declined it, her mind's overloaded and she just can't speak to somebody else. she finally arrived at the hospital, immediately asked the receptionist about yerim's room and fly over.

she opened the door of yerim's room and she saw her body, laying on a hospital bed covered with white blankets surrounded by a lot of people loving her including yeojin, haseul, jungeun, jinsoul and many more, melancholy crying.

her legs are turning into jelly, she can't stand anymore. she quickly hugged yerim's cold corpse and cried all over. haseul mentioned it was a car crash, yerim was hit when she was about to meet yeojin.

she finally calm and communicated with haseul and friends. the suddenly, hyunjin crossed into her mind. she slipped her hand on her pocket, getting her phone as she checked the missed calls. all of it was hyunjin's.

she quickly went home, haven't moved on about what happened on yerim. but she needed to see hyunjin, she was completely worried. she wiped a tear, blaming herself on why people left her. first, her parents, then yerim, and now hyunjin. what's wrong in the world? she's being kind yet all of this was happening. she's confused, she wanted to curse, but she didn't. she didn't complain.

she almost kicked her apartment's door, her eyes quickly searched for hyunjin. she went to their room on where hyunjin was sleeping, but then her face once again paled as she saw hyunjin laying on the bed, cold and lifeless. she was holding the medicine kit, and obviously ate all of it.

heejin wanted to collapse, she let herself fall on the floor, wondering why all of this are happening. she cried and cried, yet she can't accept it. hyunjin died. she killed herself. heejin's bestfriend is now dead.
