"Please, Baekhyun" Jisoo pleaded as she kneeled down, slowly creeping backwards. "I'm begging you!" She pleaded louder.

"Shut up!" Baekhyun lifted his foot, making contact with Jisoo's face, pining it to the ground. "Someone might hear you" He said as he threw his soju bottle across the room, landing with the other empty, rotting ones.

"I won't tell anyone about this! I promise! I promise!" Jisoo pleaded for the last time but Baekhyun, being the drunk man that he is, couldn't care for the world. He wanted her dead. He wanted to silence her. His actions could ruin his family's reputation forever. His actions could change Chaeryoung's view forever.

"I'm sorry...I wish there were another way" His sober voice seemed so kind yet so menacing. Hi picked up a meter long rope with his hands that were covered in cuts, caused by Jisoo when she fought back. "She won't forgive me, no one will" and with those words, he crept up behind Jisoo. His hands holding both ends of each rope. "Goodbye Jisoo" He said as his toned arms wrapped around Jisoo's and pulled the rope that was trpping Jisoo's neck, towards him.

"I'm sorry Chaeng, I'm sorry Jenduekie...you will have to live...without...m-me.." the weak girl managed to say her last words as her own breath were stolen from her. She looked up to the ceiling, staring at the light as she finally gave in, no longer fighting back. She smiled as it felt as if her late mother's hands was carresing her face. Jisoo smiled as one last tear fell from her almond eyes.

Jisoo was indeed dead.

Baekhyun looked at Jisoo's lifeless body before removing the neckless that Jisoo wore. She seemed as if she died peacefully with no regrets, but she did. She regrets that she died without seeing her two friends, her sisters, her only family. "I'll keep this safe for you" he said as he walked away, not daring to look back. It was too late to regret anything.

Not knowing of the events taking place, you focused on Chaeyoung the whole time you were working. Learning more about love. So much so that you could barely take your eyes off her. It was as if she was a gift from the heavens above. You obviously noticed her features before, it's not like anyone could resist her perfection. You wondered what her parents must of looked like to make such a beauty that no one in the world could compete with. Oh how you desperately wanted to tell your younger sister, Ella, about Chaeyoung.

"Y/N, can you pass me that bucket of water?" Chaeyoung asked smilong at you. With a blank face, you grabbed the bucket of water and placed it near her. You were occupied in your own thoughts but watched as Chaeyoung rinsed the towel and folded to place on the sick lady's head.

'She's so gentle' You thought. Yes she may have worked here for weeks but you never had a chance to work with her.

She stood up and carried the spare dry towels in her hand. You unconsciously followed her while carrying the heavy bucket of water. It was awkwardly quiet as the both of you walked through the halls. You wondered my she wasn't talking but yet you studied her actions. 'She must be thinking of something' You thought.

Chaeyoung then suddenly spoke, "Do you think we should tell the others?" She asked as she continued to walk. You spilled some water on the ground, startled by the sudden conversation.

"What do you mean?" You asked back.

"You know, about us" She said as she effortlessly opened a new room to sick patients, lying of the floor.

"I-I think we should, I mean its a good idea, b-but it's up to you" You stuttered. You weren't used to this. You didn't know how to respond. You've never been in a relationship before. Chaeyoung giggled at your silliness.
