"WE'RE losing...!"

the sky's a mixture of blue and pink hues, stretching out as far as the eye could see. there's no sun, no clouds lazily moving across; only a full moon and a crescent moon sitting beside each other in the heavens.

yeonjun's eyes flutter open ever so slowly. he blinks once and then twice, his eyes getting adjusted to the lighting of where he's at. he's staring up at the sky when he smells the familiar scent of dahlias. he tilts his head to the side, noticing that he's surrounded by said flowers, their red color as vibrant as the blood that begins to seep out from a grave wound.

yeonjun gets up on his feet, a breeze sweeping by, causing his white, transparent long-sleeved shirt to flutter. a shiver crawls up his arms and spine as he spins around, looking at the red dahlia field that stretches out before him everywhere. he suddenly stops, his breathing becoming labored.

his pupils dilate, landing on something off into the far distance. yeonjun begins to walk towards it, his bare feet crushing red dahlias as he walks. as he gets closer and closer, he starts to make out what it is clearly. the thing slowly starts to morph into a person, their back resting on a tree stump as their head hangs low. it's then that yeonjun realizes who it is.

it's jieun.

he starts to run, almost tripping on his feet. yeonjun lands on his knees, dirt flying everywhere.

jieun is clad in a white, long dress. there's a flower crown made of dahlias sitting atop her long hair, cascading down her shoulders and hiding her face from the boy.

"ji," yeonjun says, his voice coming out breathy. he shakes her shoulders, earning no response from her.

"ji," he repeats, placing both his hands to tilt her face upwards. yeonjun flinches, surprised at how cold her skin felt. there's a bad feeling settling in his heart; he ignores it, slowly lifting jieun's face upwards. a gasp falls past the boy's lips: jieun's skin wasn't its usual sun-kissed color; instead, it was as pale as snow, her lips a faded pink color. her eyes were shut, her eyelashes long against her skin. his heart begins to beat faster, eyes widening when his eyes see something coming out from her back. he leans towards it, noticing that there's a slit at the back of jieun's neck. a branch slowly sprouts from it, buds appearing here and there before blossoming into cherry blossoms, pink petals falling. yeonjun lifts his hand, his fingertips touching a cherry blossom when he suddenly falls, his body limp against jieun. a line slowly appears on the back of his neck when a single tear falls down his cheek and onto jieun's hand.

UNFORTUNATELY,
I LOVE YOU.
