My Dear Squirrel || Multiple ships

Chapter 11: The days without you

Jeongin's POV

I woke up, and I was in a hotel room with my friends laid out on the couch with me. Last thing, I remember is being with Hyunjin and falling asleep I thought. Yet, here I am but then I remembered what Hyunjin did last night.

*Flashback*

"Innie, what would you do if I had to go somewhere for a little while?" He asked me, while I was snuggling my head into his chest. "Of course I would come with you." I said, while looking up at him and smiling. "What if..what if you can't come and you had to forget me.?" He asked, with a tear rolling down his cheek. "Why would I need to forget you? I'll come with you, no matter what." I said to him, while wiping the tear off his cheek. "Then, I'm sorry I have to do this to you Innie." He said, while leaning down to my neck.

Then, I felt a sudden prick in my neck and I knew what he was gonna do. "W-why?" I asked, looking up at him. Tears, rolling down my face whilst my strength was slowly slipping away. "You said, you would come with me and I can't have you being hurt because of what I am." He told me, while leaning down to kiss me whilst we both were crying. When he pulled away, and was gonna get up I grabbed him by his hand. "Are-are you gonna come back.?" I asked him, before my eyes closed.

*end of flashback*

A tear, rolled down my cheek as I remembered what happened last night. Then, I looked down at my ring it's the only I have of him. While holding it, I curled into a ball and started to cry. No matter, how many tears were falling then never stopped coming. Eventually, I felt a hand on my shoulder then becoming 2 hands. I looked up, and saw Seungmin and Jisung both giving me a small smile, in their eyes I saw they both had the same reason to cry.

All of us, were left behind for some reason that we weren't supposed to know. But, from what Hyunjin said to me, it was to protect us from something.

Monday morning

The weekend, was hell I stayed in my room the entire time after we got back from the hotel. Now, it was Monday meaning I had to go to school but why do I need to? There's nothing, there waiting for me or someone.. When I arrived in class, it was the middle of the lesson but I didn't care. I put my bag, in my normal chair and sat in Hyunjin's hoping that his scent would at least still be there. Nothing, there wasn't anything left of him there.

Right, when I was about to get up and grab my bag. I looked in the desk, compartment inside was some of his books. I grabbed it, and put it on the desk one was a notebook. I opened it, and inside was a lot of writing. One page, specifically standing out to me out of all of them. The page, was a letter from Hyunjin to me..

——————-(letter)———-

Dear Innie,

If your reading this, it means I was actually able to go through with the plan and not risk bringing you with me. The ring I gave you, I actually put a spell on it to protect you but, it won't work if I'm not there. As for the reason, as to why I left I can't tell you until I see you again. Which, I'm not sure when that will be. The time, I'm writing this is right before I pick you up for the party.

I hope you can forgive me, for leaving you behind. But, if your actually reading it, and it was in my desk. Just means, that I delivered it right after I left you.

- Your prince

I almost, broke down just then after reading it. But, instead I kept it in and thought about how hard this must have been for him.
