"Lee Know! Please... stay." I yell as he walks down the hall...
-
He looked back both our eyes filled with tears, everyone had left me. The one person I thought would stay, he left too. I still can't understand why he left, he said he wanted to stay. Even to this day there's this pain deep down it doesn't fade.
Outsider
Last year I met a boy named Yang Jeongin, he had black straight hair, kind eyes, and a smile that makes this place not seem so bad. He turned 18 a few months ago, sadly I couldn't tell him happy birthday. Anyway, he came here last year. When Minho left it broke my heart, meeting him took some of the pain away. He told me all about the world outside, the colorful buildings, blue sky, green grass, art work that isn't just in gray charcoal, but mostly about the diversity. In the District everyone looks the same, all the girls have straight long hair, boys have straight hair and bangs. We all wear the same white clothes. It gets really boring looking at the same things your whole life.
-
"So you've never seen the sky, or grass?"
"Not that I can remember, I was only 3 weeks old."
"Wow, I wish they would've let me take photos in here or at least my phone." He sighs.
"Yeah, I know this place seems nice now but stay here long enough and you'll be begging to leave."
"What's so bad about it?"
"It drives you crazy! Looking at the same things, eating the same food, and if you rebel they either kill you or torture you until you wish you where dead."
"W-wait... they kill people here?!" He looks so shocked. He's been so protected.
"Yeah. Why did your parents bring you here, you're too sweet and innocent for this place?"
"They went bankrupt and didn't know what to do because they couldn't afford to support me anymore."
"That's horrible! I'm so sorry. But hey, maybe we can get along?" I let out a slight chuckle.
"I think we could arrange that." He gives me a heartfelt smile.
-
Jeongin was like a pure ray of sunshine, just like Minho he made me feel better. But of course I can't be happy for too long. He left 8 months ago. Just like Minho. Going back to what I said earlier, everyone I care for leaves or dies.
-
"Y/N, uhh so can I talk to you... please?" He said not able to make eye contact with me.
"Sure, what's on your mind?"
"I have to go. I'm leaving today."
"Innie, what? Why?" Once again my tears fall onto the ground.
"You'll find out soon enough, I promise. Keep your head up and stay positive. I hope I'll see you soon, don't let me down." He began walking away.
-
I didn't bother asking him to stay this time. I just accepted that he too was gone. I remember him telling me all about his family, he told me he had a little brother that he wanted to see again. Lee know and I.N became like my family, I never understood his pain of missing his brother. Now I do. I stared calling him Innie because the last two letters of his name where in, that too just kinda stuck.
Strangers
I've seen a few other boys roaming about the place. Whenever I get bored I just talk to random people. There where 7 others that I found quite interesting. They didn't seem like they where drugged up or hallucinating. I made sure not to get too attached though. Their names where Chan, Felix, Seungmin, Woojin, Jisung, Changbin, and Hyunjin. Although, one by one they all left, except for Felix. I don't know where they went, I didn't bother asking. It was just strange how all of the people who seemed alive all left.
One of the boys had orange hair. Which really caught me off guard because everyone had black or dark brown hair. I'm surprised he hasn't been killed. All of his friends left, but he hasn't. I've seen him around since I was little. I think he's been here his whole life as well.
Chan used to help out and do rounds, making sure everyone took their pills and locked the doors. He was like a worker but he was far too young. He never talked to anyone except me and the other 6 boys. Though Hyunjin was always very jumpy and liked to talk to everyone.
-
"Y/N! Hey how are ya? You haven't talked to me in a while." He said bending down and smiling at me.
"Hey Jinnie, sorry I've been really tired lately. Catch up soon okay?"
"Oh... alright! Meet me for lunch tomorrow." He said happily skipping down the halls.
-
Man, I don't know what kind of drug they where giving him but I wish he would've shared. All the boys had very different personalities, they always left me amazed. I never understood how the got along so well. I made sure not to get too close to them so it would hurt less when they left. I couldn't take anymore pain from losing people. And sure enough, they left.
I've heard the saying 'it's your birthday make a wish!' My only wish is to get out of here, and to see Minho again. Maybe that's too much to wish for but, it's all I've got.
A/N- Ohhh new characters! The next chapter will hopefully be done by tomorrow. Hope you enjoyed byeeee!!
