the new girl.

28 - hueningkai

the phone rang.

i held back tears. it was the hospital. i guess you could say i knew deep down what was coming next.

i walked up to the phone shakily.

"h-hello?"

a voice droned on.

phone:"we regret to inform you.."

i didn't hear the rest. i just screamed in agony.

yeonjun came over.

yeonjun:"what?? what is it?"

i dropped the phone out of my shaky hands. i fell to the my knees.

yeonjun:"what is it?!"

"she.. she's.. y/n.. she's.." i sobbed uncontrollably.

"noooo.... y/n... why y/n..." i sobbed more.

i ran upstairs. into her bedroom.

she has to be there. she has to be there.

"y/n?" please be here. please be here.

i touched her empty bed.

"y/n.. y/n no..."

taehyun entered the room.

"she has to be here, taehyun, she has to be here..." i sobbed.

taehyun:"we loved her too, kai.. it's gonna be okay."

i grabbed him by the shoulders and shook him.

"get her back.. get her back for me.." i coughed.

i hid under her blanket for the next hour, sobbing.

she can't possibly be dead. maybe i had the wrong idea when i listened to the message.

i heard the door creak open. then a voice.

it was y/n's.

y/n:"kai?"

"y/n?!?!?"

i came out from the blanket.

it was only yeonjun, playing a recording on his phone.
or what i thought was his phone. it was y/n's phone.

yeonjun:"i think you're gonna wanna see this."

soobin:"she recorded it after the pool incident."

i grabbed the phone and pressed play on the video.

y/n:"my dearest kai,

i have been on the verge of death for 2 weeks now. if i die, i wouldn't want you to think that i forgot you. kai, i've loved you from the day you let me stay with you. you are so sweet and loving and kind. i'm recording this so if i die, you know what i needed to say to you. you haven't given it to me as of now, but i saw it in your pocket. the promise ring. i didn't want to tell you, so when you do give it to me, i'll act like i never knew. kai, you've always been there for me, and i'm so grateful. whenever i was sad, or yeonjun was being a jerk, you always knew what i needed and how to help me. you were the best friend anybody could ever ask for. the longer i've known you, the more that i realize that you are my person. you are an inspiration, kai, and you inspire me to chase my dreams. even if you never see this message, even if i lived, i needed to make this an option when i do die. i'll love you forever, kai. forever and always."

the video ended. i started crying again.

"she.. she.. she really did love me."

wait.

"guys.. the truth is.. i didn't listen to the whole message. all i heard were the words "we regret to inform you."
what if we went to the hospital and checked?? just to be sure??"

beomgyu:"oh, kai.. don't be delusional.. she's dead.. okay? i'm sorry."

"can we please go.. please.."

taehyun nodded.

taehyun:"i'll take you."

we drove to the hospital. we ran into the hospital and up to the front desk.

"do you have a y/n?? a y/n choi!?!"

receptionist:"i'm afraid her death was reported a few hours ago. i'm sorry sir."

"HOW DO YOU KNOW SHE'S DEAD?! HOW DO YOU KNOW!" i yelled at the lady and grabbed her by the wrist.

taehyun pulled me back.

taehyun:"i'm sorry.. he's just a little.. come on kai, she's gone.."

receptionist:"wait, you're kai?"

i nodded hopefully.

receptionist:"she left something for you. come with me."

we walked into y/n's room. a box with my name on it was sitting on her bed.

i opened the box.

the first thing in it was a letter that said, "check my camera roll. on my phone. yeonjun knows the password."

under the piece of paper was my promise ring.

i started to cry.

"s-she knew.. she knew she was gonna die here."

"why wouldn't they let me come?"

receptionist:"she told them not to. she told them it was for your safety that you don't watch her die."

i stuttered. "o-oh..."

receptionist:"we haven't burnt the body yet.. if you wanna say goodbye."

i nodded.

we walked into a dark gray room. y/n's body was on a table.

receptionist:"i'll step out, for your privacy.

"y/n.. oh, y/n..."

i walked up to her body. i kissed her lips one last time. once i was about to walk out, she opened her eyes.

y/n:"did you miss me?"

i screamed.

receptionist:"everything okay in there, sir?!"

"yeah!!"

i walked up to the body slowly.

"y/n??" i whispered.

y/n:"get me out of here!" she said.

"what the hell happened??"

y/n:"well, i did die. but... my heart came to a start again a couple minutes ago. you need to get me out of here without anyone knowing."

"but.. you need to be treated if you wanna stay alive!!".

she pointed to her bandaged head.

y/n:"they already gave me medicine and stuff. they said if i let it heal, i'll be fine. then i died. and now i'm alive."

i smiled.

"i watched your video."

"we have to be quiet- cmon, i'll get you home."

i started to climb out the window with y/n in my hands.

receptionist lady opened the door now.

receptionist:"HEY!! WHAT THE HELL!?"

i ran with y/n to the car and threw her in the back. taehyun was in the driver's seat waiting.

taehyun:"where the.. jesus christ she's alive!!"

"we'll both be the opposite if you don't get us home now!! DRIVE!!"

he zoomed out of the parking lot.

she was alive.

i was right.

i'm ready now.

i'm gonna propose.
