Changbin stared in disbelief, as you just laughed at him.

Han was standing with you, laughing as well.

Beside them, was himself.

"Why.. who?" Changbin started, as the one behind Y/N laughed.

"I'm the real me, imposter. You've just been in my body for the past while. Clearly enough to become your own person, because you're here. But," the first Changbin started, walking over to his clone, "since this is my prison world, I'm going to make sure you suffer."

"What do you mean prison? Why are they here?" Changbin 2 asked, looking at Y/N and Han, as they chuckled.

"Oh, we're just visiting here, the afterlife. I knew Han's cure wouldn't kill us, he's not that much of an idiot, but he knew it would kill you." I started to explain, as I saw Changbin 2's face drain of colour.

"What? So you..." Changbin 2 started, as Han grinned, leaning on Y/N, smiling.

"I faked it. Me and Y/N. It was a rush plan whilst Chan was distracting you. We're not dead, just merely resting. Every time we've supposedly died, we've come here. But the fact is, us three, can't die. You, on the other hand, a made up subconscious by this disease, can. So we're going to leave you behind." Han grinned, as I just stepped away from him, grabbing at Changbin 2's collar.

"You followed just as we hoped you would. I mean, if you didn't, we would just wait here longer until they cured you, but you see, you've made this all the much easier." I said, looking up as our Changbin wandered around behind the clone, pushing open the door behind him.

Except the only way through it was down, where people were screaming.

Changbin 2 looked up at me, fear stricken on his face.
"Y/N, come on, you wouldn't..." he started, as I just smiled.

"Oh, but I would, except, I think they deserve to do it more than I do." I said, stepping back.

Our Changbin smiled my way, dragging his clone up onto his feet.

"I hope hell suffocates you for eternity, so you can suffer and know just what you've stolen from me." Changbin seethed, pushing Changbin 2 back, as he stumbled over the edge, and fell.

Han just listened into the screams, chuckling, as he pulled the door closed.

"Well, I think it's time we go back, yeah? Before we get cremated." I shuddered, holding Changbin's hand.

"Yeah. I've been waiting for this." He smiled, as I pulled him towards the door I was oh so familiar with at this point.

I awoke to the bright sunlight beaming onto our faces, Han beside me.

He awoke slowly, and instantly pulled away from me.

"We're not dead, Hyunjin's your boyfriend. I'll bottle my feelings again, okay?" Han rambled, as we glanced into the carpark, Hyunjin had fallen out of his car.

"Changbin - you were dead, please don't hurt me, I don't know if you're you." Hyunjin pleaded, as Changbin smiled slightly.

"It's the real me, you idiot. I think that psycho would've killed you whilst you were asleep instead of waking you up. Come on, stand up, Y/N and Han will be up as well." Changbin smiled, offering out a hand.

Hyunjin took it, and instantly pulled his friend into a hug.

"This has been a long past month or so, dude. Don't leave us again, okay?" Hyunjin cried, sobs erupting through his whole body.

I pried Hyunjin off of Changbin, hitting him lightly.

"Did you even cry over me, Hyun? I could've been dead for good, but here you were sleeping." I laughed, as he just hugged me, kissing my forehead, nose, and then on my lips.

Han just pay Changbin on the back.

"Good to have you back, man. I'm not going to kiss you though." He laughed, as Changbin laughed too.

"Yeah I wasn't worried about that." Changbin laughed dryly, as he put an arm around Han.

"You're crushing me." Han whined, as Changbin laughed.

"Payback." Changbin said, watching as I turned to him, and tackled him to the ground.

"You, are an ass. I told you I'd get you back, and look, I've done it, haven't I?" I laughed, tears rolling down my face.

Changbin shoved me off.
"Yeah, yeah. Let's just get going already, come on."

We walked back to the facility, where people were being let out by the dozen, everyone having been vaccinated by the time we had come back.

It had been 6 hours. But when we were in the afterlife, or whatever that world was, it only felt like minutes.

I saw our friends come toppling out, all of them looking as if they had been crying.

I waved them over, and they all can running, everyone squashing the 3 of us, Hyunjin just standing back.

"We thought you were all dead! Idiots." Lee Know scoffed.

"Changbin! You're back!" Felix smiled, cuddling into his friends chest.
"We were going to get you a statue built Han!" Jeongin laughed.

"No need, the real genius himself is right here." Han chuckled, pushing them off.

"So what happened? You were medically dead, Y/N." Hyunjin asked, having pulled me aside.

"We were like, in this realm. It's where I went the first time I died, and then when I stabbed myself. It was like the border of life and death. Changbin's soul has been there since the beginning, and we just banished his like, fake self, and came back. I don't know why it took hours. But I think, finally, this battle is over." I smiled, as Hyunjin just pulled me in close, kissing me on the lips.

"And to think I said Han could have you in the afterlife. I forgot how good you taste, Y/N." Hyunjin growled lowly, as I felt myself heat up, pushing him off of me.

"Hyun, not appropriate right now." I said, as he just laughed, trailing kisses down my neck.
He finally stepped back. "Sorry, sorry, I'll save it for later." Hyunjin winked at that and wandered off to the others, as I just stood back and watched, before sighing and smiling up at the blue sky.

This had to be the end of it all, right?

"You're right Y/N, the war is over." Bang Chan said, as we sat back at the precinct outside, staring up at the sunset.

All nine of us were against the wall, Hyunjin holding my hand.

"I really hope so. If it's not, can someone else fight it? I'm sick of being the epicentre of it all." I whined jokingly, as everyone burst into laughter.

"Come on, it couldn't of been too bad having eight attractive boys flaunting over you, could it?" Changbin teased, as I punched him lightly.

"Horrible, really. Never again." I shuddered, as our laughs carried out into the night, Hyunjin kissed me again.

I wanted to stay in this moment forever.

I really hoped that it would stay this way, and I knew deep down, that it would.

The worst of it was over.

A/N she's finished :) book 2 is done! And that's the series done
