Kang Haerin was the campus crush.
Everyone had a crush on her.
But everyone knew, Kang Haerin had eyes for no one but her best friend Y/n-ah.
- Haerin POV -
It was yet another exciting day with Y/n-ah.
Y/n-ah picked me up at home just like any other school day.
Y/n-ah brought me the home made lunch they had always prepared for me.
Since we were 3, we were inseparable. I loved y/n-ah so much... lately I had just hoped y/n loved me back just the same way.
I was so excited from our college trip today. We were to visit universities today, since we're 3rd years we're supposed to be thinking about these things.
Of course, I would go wherever Y/n-ah would end up. I had the grades to chose wherever I wanted.
"Are you excited for today?" Y/n-ah asked as we walked to school.
"Yes, I hope I get Yoesung university!" I responded knowing it was my dream school.
"I heard there's two busses going to that school today, so I hope I get to go too!" Y/n-ah exclaimed looking like they were genuinely interested in their future for once.
Our friendship was odd. I was the school's golden child while Y/n-ah..... well.... they were the opposite.
"Most likely to fail at everything!" Was their nickname.
I didn't believe that though.... not 'cus Y/n-ah wasn't lazy.... but because it never seemed to bother them.
Y/n-ah was never the one listen to gossip or get bummed out about rumors. They were so sure of themselves. It seemed like nothing could ever bring them down.
As we arrived the school, our names were already being called. Because Y/n-ah always picked me up so late, we always ended up being late.
"Kang Haerin, Yoesung University bus 1!" Sosaengnim yelled.
"Kim Y/n, Yeosung University bus 2!" Sosaengnim followed up.
We both ran up to bow at the teacher and boarded our busses... but before we could do that Y/n threw my luch back at me and gave me a big hug.
"See you on the other side!" Y/n-ah said with the cutest smile.
We both boarded the busses and soon enough we were on our way.
During the campus tour, me and Y/n-ah held hands the entire time. I could barely handle the thought of us going to the same school and walking throughout the campus holding hands.
"You got mayo right here!" Y/n-ah said while laughing as we ate lunch.
Y/n-ah then wiped the mayo off my face and I could feel myself blushing.
On our way back home, a couple of us had convinced the head teacher to let us switch busses. Luckily, I was one of them and go to sit next to Y/n-ah the bus ride back.
As we made our way back.......
The last thing I remembered was playfully fighting with Y/n-ah then whispering "I love you" as we giggled and cuddled together into each other's embrace.
- Y/N POV -
I woke up with the biggest headache in the world.
Today was the day of the memorial.... and the funeral.
My heart couldn't bare the weight it held. It was most horrible feeling ever.
So many memories.... so many words that never got spoken.... a life full of history.... full of a future that never got lived...
A life full of moments that never got lived....
Our confessions....
Our first kiss....
Our wedding.....
Our kids....
A story that never got told.... a story everyone knew was to come.... even us....
We were just too young to get to first page of the book.
how could anyone ever live with themselves that way.... how could I ever live without her this way.
As I stood there during the memorial, I heard everyone's stories. I went up myself and spoke about our little adventures as kids.
That whole moment was a blank.... I had trained myself to just speak the words without feeling anything... because deep down inside... all I could ever hear and see were flashbacks of the incident.
"That truck is driving pretty fast," The teacher told the bus driver.
Me and Haerin were sitting towards the front of the bus where the teachers could see us.
It was one of Haerin's promises to the teachers.
As long as they could see troublemaker y/n then Haerin was allowed to switch busses.
"It was all my fault really," I kept telling myself as I watch everyone go up to look at her one last time.
"It's not. Don't blame yourself," I could hear Haerin's voice echoing in my head.
I kept ignoring it as I had been for the last few months.
The last thing I can remember about that trip was the upcoming 16 wheeler driving as fast as it possible could on the most narrowest of roads.... in a hill.... with multiple loops.
The truck rambed into us on a blind curve and the bus started to tumble down the hill.
The truck followed after.
With screaming and crying filling up the bus as we fell to our doom.
.... 5 kids died that night.....
Once we landed on the floor, I quickly checked on Haerin. She had blood coming out her ears and temple.
She had this silly smile on her face.
I shook her trying to get her to stay awake.
"Haerin, Haerin-ei, don't fall asleep! Please don't fall asleep! I'm right here!" I yelled as I shook her.
"You're so funny, I'm okay!" She replied with a weak shaky voice and tears in her eyes.
"Don't say that, you're bleeding" I cried out to her. I shook her still hoping she stayed awake.
"Haerin! Kang Haerin! Whats my favorite color!?" I frantically yelled.
"Navy blue.... or army green.... depends. .. on your... m.. mood," Haerin responded sounding out of breath.
I began to sob, not knowing what else to do.
"Hey, Y/n-ah....," Haerin suddenly whispered.
"Yeah?" I asked getting closer to hear her a bit better.
"I love you," were Kang Haerin's last words.
As I looked in the mirror to get ready for the memorial that morning.... I thought of her..... I couldn't bring myself to say it back while looking in the mirror, so I just settled with saying "Ditto."
