confession and losing

Nayeon gently put Dahyun on the bed, trying not to wake her up. But failed as the younger shot her eyes open when her head landed on the soft pillow.

"I'm sorry, did I wake you up?" Nayeon shot the younger an apologetic look, she really wanted to let Dahyun rest. It's a long day all of them had today.

"No, not really. I just wanted you to carry me."

"You genius kid." Nayeon squeezed her soft cheeks, making her pout in response. But she loved it.

Nayeon admired the cute face of the younger, from her soft, silky blonde hair, down to her glistening doe eyes. She could easily be lost in that eyes of the younger. Her pointy nose, and Nayeon's gaze drifted to Dahyun's pink, plump lips which is still in a pout.

"I've always wanted to kiss you." Nayeon blurted out, gaining a look of confusion from the shorter.

"But you always kissed me though?"

"No, not that type of kiss." Nayeon denied.

"Then, what type of kiss?" the smaller asked.

"This type." Nayeon said before leaning her face closer and latched her lips on the younger. It took Dahyun quite a while, but she eventually responded to the passionate kiss, her hand climbing up Nayeon's nape, wrapping it around so the kiss deepened. Dahyun liked it, the taste of her vanilla lip balm mixed with Nayeon's cherry ones. So this is what it feels like, kissing the one you love.

Nayeon pulled away when she's in need of air, she glanced at the younger's face which is painted in a tint of pink.

"Your lips tasted good." Dahyun mumbled, low but loud enough to transmit to Nayeon's ears.

"So good that I want it again." she added before pulling Nayeon's face closer and connected their lips for the second time. And then it stopped when Dahyun felt a hot liquid landed on her cheek. it was Nayeon's tears.

"Did I hurt you?" the younger worriedly asked.

Nayeon didn't answer, instead she replied with a question.

"Why.. why didn't I do this earlier? When I figured out I have feelings for you?" Nayeon broke in her tears, now she knew why all the dramas she watched had emphasised the phrase 'Life is all about timing.'

"Nayeon had feelings for me?" Dahyun thought to herself.

"Nayeon, look at me." the younger commanded as she placed both her hands on Nayeon's cheek, so that their eyes met. She used her thumbs to wipe the older's tears.

"Do you, really love me? Not as a sister, but romantically?" Dahyun asked.

"Yes, really. I've been loving you for a long time."

"Great." Dahyun uttered and pulled Nayeon's face closer and she planted a kiss on the older's forehead.

"Do-do you love me too?" Nayeon hesitantly asked. But Dahyun didn't give her an answer. Instead, she switched the topic.

"Would you kill someone?"

Nayeon was shocked at the question, but she answered.

"I could never."

"So do I." Dahyun said, a weak smile pasted on her lips.

"Why?" Nayeon asked, curious of the sudden query.

"I love you too, Nayeon. But, we're dying, Nayeon. We aren't going to get that happy ending we badly longed for." now the role has switched, Nayeon calming her crying baby down.

"The only way for us to escape is to murder someone, who is our friend. We could never do that, Nayeon. Never." Dahyun added.

"I know. We're going to die. That's why I wanted to kiss you earlier." Nayeon swept the strands of hairs that was covering Dahyun's face, giving a better view of the sculpted face.

"That's why I'm going to do this." Nayeon said, as she took off the diamond ring from her finger.

"Kim Dahyun, my babygirl who cries over a finished pack of chocopie, my baby who denies herself being a baby but fake her sleep just because she wanted me to carry her to bed." Nayeon paused, looking at the younger's glistening eyes.

"If there's one thing I wanted to do at least once in this life, it would be calling you my girlfriend."

"I know this is a bad timing, bad place and bad position for a proposal, but I really wanted to call you my girlfriend. Even if I die, I'll die as your girlfriend."

"Kim Dahyun, will you be my girlfriend until I breathe last my breath?" Nayeon slid the diamond ring on the younger's ring finger. It's a miracle that the size is a perfect fit to Dahyun's small finger.

A bitter smile on the younger's face, knowing the last breath is coming very soon. Nonetheless, she accepted.

"Yes, my girlfriend." and the night went down with Dahyun losing her virginity to Nayeon.

***

Jeongyeon woke up the next morning, it felt so fucking odd not to have Chaeyoung by her side.
But the high possibility of the younger being the host angered her. Dahyun and Nayeon couldn't possibly be the host since they never separated, so it only leaves Chaeyoung.

"Let's just end this quickly." she monologued.

She cleaned herself up and went looking for Chaeyoung. There's only one thing in her mind. If she kill Chaeyoung, at least three of them would survive.

She roamed around the house, pushing every door she saw but there was no hint of Chaeyoung's existence. Then something caught her ears. The sound of water running from the tap. She approached the bathroom on the level she was on, and the sound became more vivid.

So she pushed door, only to see Chaeyoung drowned in the tub and only her hand sticking out of the tub, but instead of colourless water, the tub was filled with red liquid. Only the body is present while her soul was gone. That's when Jeongyeon realised she was wrong. Wrong in guessing the host, and wrong for not confessing her love. The tall girl had no reaction, only tears spoke her emotion.

There's no way Chaeyoung could be alive right now, but there's something she held in her fist.

It was a crumpled yellow paper, which seemed important. So Jeongyeon took a look. The content doesn't seem like a suicide note. It rather looked like a hint.

-the host might not be aware of herself being a host
- the room is on the second floor
- J.

"Wh-what?" Jeongyeon was shocked.

This couldn't be. Jeongyeon could swear her whole life about this.

There's no way she could be the host.
