Ice Lake Hospital

A Gift

You were leaving a thank you note on Kate's bed when you heard her came home.

"Y/n, I got you something~" Kate said and you rushed to her.

"Happy birthday! I didn't have time to wrap it, but here you go." She handed you a pair of earrings and two balloons.

"Thanks. But, it's still 11 PM" You said and looked for a way to naturally get your note back.

"Come on. I thought you'd be super happy about this. You love these events and stuff. I also thought I'd catch you doing some decorations." She said while searching her purse.

You tied the balloons to a chair near Kate's bedroom door and placed the earrings on it. Kate walked towards her bedroom and you stopped her, asking if she lost something.

"No, I just want to get my makeups." She answered and moved you aside.

"I'll get it for you. I'm good at this. I know what would suit you. W-What's it for? Dinner with a client?" You asked, running into her bedroom and snatched the note from her bed. Then, you quickly selected some makeups from her dresser and placed the note under a bottle of perfume.

"Um.. No? It's for a Christmas party that I have to go with my colleges after work? I don't want to go though. But then my boss's going to be there so.." She walked into the bedroom.

"So you use your lunch time to come here and get makeups? You should take heels with you, too." You pushed her outside. She refused to take heels with her, saying they're too painful to walk on and she was fine with the flats she was wearing. 

You rushed her to go back, telling her that she won't have time to eat lunch.

"You forgot that it's Christmas today, didn't you? And you forgot your birthday." She spoke as you walked her to her car.

"Oh who left flowers here?" Kate asked and you looked at a vase of blue roses on the sidewalk.

"It's on the sidewalk, but it's in front of my house-" She said as she got on her car.

"Bye! Have fun!" You closed the car door and saw her off.

When is its owner gonna pick it up? What if someone breaks the vase?

After some thought, you decided to move the vase a little bit to the right, where grasses are. It didn't make it any safer, but you felt better.

Eh?

You thought you saw the roses glowed a bit just now and touched the vase again. But, you couldn't tell the difference anymore because the sun was shining brighter. But, you suspected that they aren't roses from a place where humans live.

"If it's not what I think it is, I'll just quickly bring it back here." You whispered to yourself while carrying it into the bathroom, careful not to touch the flowers. Then, you shut the door.

When you looked on the counter table, you saw vibrant colors.

"Tae."

You ran out into the street, looking for him.

The vase was ice cold. It wasn't that long. He must have put it there after Kate got here because she just noticed it.

You weren't sure which way to go, but you ran to the main road. When you were about to cross the road at the intersection, you were pulled back.

"What? Yoongi?" You shook him off.

"Where are you going?" He asked, taking you into an alley. 

"Was Tae here? Was he here? Was he-" Your questions turned into a sob.

"Stop. There's nothing to cry about. I put the flowers there." Yoongi answered.

"Why? Why did you put it there. Let go! I'm going-" You shook his hand off.

"He doesn't want you back." He said and you stopped walking.

"That.. doesn't matter. That means he alive, isn't it?" You continued walking, but he grabbed your arm.

"He DOESN'T WANT you anymore. You're no longer needed. Forget everything and live your normal life." He said.

"Leave me alone." You resisted.

"I didn't know you're a selfish person." He said and you were hurt by his words, but you kept resisting.

"You know everything you must know. You saw him in pain. You've read the storybook. You probably met those annoying ancient fairies, too. His method of searching for a cure WILL kill him someday and you're supporting him? You let him do.. experiments on you of your own free will?" He asked.

"I.. trust in his plan." You replied, crying.

"HE has no plan. What kind of plan did he tell you? I told him I wouldn't interfere him if he only torture himself. But then he used YOU, a living fairy, because you would eventually die anyway. I asked him what if his research went wrong and he said he's confident that he won't fail. But you know what? He always fail. That's why his blood turned black. All those vaccines polluted him and he-" He kept on and on, but you couldn't listen anymore. 

"Stop! Stop." You shouted for him to stop as you sobbed.

The fairies you've met had been telling you to talk to Tae, too, but you haven't done anything yet.

"The board of directors fired him as a doctor. You won't find him." He said and let go of your hand.

"Why did you leave the roses there?" You asked him quietly as he walked out.

"Because everything he researched was burned. But, those roses are ancient and they are the last three." He said.

You walked back to Kate's house, wrapped the roses with a scarf, and took a taxi to your parents house.

You won't believe it, but I almost cried typing the part where Y/n asked Yoongi about Tae.

😭😭😭😭😭
