⚠️CW: VIOLENCE⚠️

The cold breeze blew into my coat, making me wrap my arms around my body.

As usual, I worked late but the good news-is I finished up most of the orders so in the end I can't be mad at myself.

A chill ran down my spine, not because of the cold but because I heard footsteps behind me. I look over my shoulder and that was my first wrong move as my back immediately met with the brick building.

I groan as my head collided with the hard surface. I felt myself go dizzy as I tried to focus on who stood in front of me.

"You are one pretty piece of meat" I grimace and tried to push their hands away from my body but my body froze when I left something cold on my stomach.

"Please" My voice held fear but I didn't continue to beg. My vision went clear and the man was not much older than I was but he was far from sane.

"You are quiet one"

I swallow harshly and look down at the knife he held to my skin and I shook my head, I couldn't do this. Apart from me could care less if this random guy pushed the sharp cold knife into my skin but then my promise came to my mind.

I push the male and he stumbled back "You bitch-" He was ready to attack me but he didn't get the chance to when someone suddenly pushed him hard, making the guy fall onto the floor. It didn't take long until the dark-haired guy got on top of the other, punching him over and over again.

"Stop! You'll kill him!" I shouted, not wanting the death of someone to be my fault. My voice didn't seem to affect him, making me go up to them and shove the guy off of him "I said stop!" I yelled again.

This made the guy look at me, his eyes meeting mine. His eyes. Him. I froze.

My mind went blank and the only thing that was there was him. He, the one that front of me. Here, staring back at me in horror. Almost like he didn't expect this to happen, like this wasn't supposed to happen.

I notice him scooting back and that's when I snap out of it, my voice was low as I said "J-Jisung?"

The name almost felt foreign for me to say. The way it rolled off my tongue, missing it. It was like I could already taste him just by mentioning him.

It was dark and the street lights didn't do me justice when trying to put his face together. As soon as his name was spoken into the cold air, he freaked. Turning around and running away from me.

My hands shook but it wasn't because I was cold, I turn and start running, not in the direction he did but in the direction of the shop.

My shaky hands open the door, and I felt like I was losing my breath-like someone was choking me but I knew it was all in my head. Maybe all of this was.

I run to the back, not bothering to turn on the lights as I turn on the computer. The light illuminates the room immediately as I start to look through the cameras.

"Please, tell me I'm insane" I mumble. Tears threatened to escape my eyes. "Please, tell me" I whisper as I hesitated to click the camera footage from the other day.

I watched it play, seeing Devany working peacefully before looking up and greetings someone that walks in. They didn't walk into view right away, making me lean into the screen.

"It isn't you" I whisper.

Finally, I see them approach the counter and I felt myself stop breathing. The tears finally fell to my cheeks as I shook my head.

"Your dead" I tried to convince myself that this wasn't real.

I sat on the floor, my back against the wall as I shook my head. Pulling my phone out of my pocket and through my blurry vision, I call someone I knew I needed to talk to.

"It's late, is everything okay?"

I shake my head "No" I say, my voice shaky.

I heard shuffling before he spoke up again "Minho, What's going on"

"Felix, He's supposed to be dead" The line went quiet "Why would he lie to me?"

"Are you drunk? Tell me where you are, Changbin, and I will go for you"

I scoff "No, I'm not drunk. I saw him... and I think he killed someone because of me"

"Where are you?"

"The Shop-"

"We'll be there," He said and hung up the phone. I stared into the darkness, the tears still rolling down my hot cheeks.

"He lied to me" I whisper.

I felt like I sat there for hours until I heard Felix call out for me. Turning on the light to see myself sitting there.

"Aw, Minho" Felix goes to me, I look at him.

"Did you know?"

He furrowed his brows "Know what?"

"That he's alive"

"Stop saying that" I look to Changbin who stood there, hurt in his eyes.

"It's true, I saw him"

Changbin shook his head "No, you didn't. Your grieving, Minho... it's normal"

I look down "No"

"Yes, and when you admit it the sooner you will feel better"

"I saw him!"

"No you didn't, don't you know how hard it is for me?!" Changbin yells at me.

"Changbin-" Felix warns.

"What? He needs to know that he's not the only one that lost Jisung" I felt myself tear up again, "I lost him too, I lost my best friend"

I shook my head "I'm telling the truth, just believe me!" I yell at him "I get it, I get that he was your best friend but he is the love of my life. I saw him tonight, He saved me like he always does, and if you don't believe me then look cameras"

"Cameras?" Felix questions.

I nod and look at him "He sent me flowers the other day and I didn't think anything of it and pushed it away but it all makes sense. Those are the flowers from the field we use to go to when we were young" I chuckle lowly and look down "I didn't look at the cameras until now"

I heard Changbin walk to the computer, looking up to see him watching it. I noticed his change in demeanor, how his body tensed and how he took a small step back.

"I need to call Chan," He said before leaving the room.

"I saw him" I look at Felix and he had tears in his eyes "Why would he lie to me? To us?"

Felix shrugs "I don't know but what I do know is, you need rest"

"I'm not tired-"

"Yes you are, I know you don't sleep well" Felix stands up and holds out his hand, "You can sleep at our place"

I shook my head "The cats-"

He cut me off again "I'll have Chan get them, don't worry" I nod and grab his hand, standing up.

Nothing felt real. It all felt like a dream but I wasn't sure if I wanted to wake up or stay here. The possibility that he was alive all this time. I didn't know if I was happy or mad.
