Was It Me?

Was It Me?

Jonghyun’s POV

I remember the first thing she shared with me when we got into a relationship.

“Jonghyun.. Love, with your heart, not with your eyes.” She whispered, and as if on cue, the wind brushed by, and for once, she didn’t smile.

“Of course, Sica!” I chuckled. “Silly girl!” I gave her a peck on the lips, reassuring her fragile self. My hand wrapped around hers, fingers interlacing with hers. A smile graced her lips and she finally relaxed.

But of course, now before me, I had to rethink… Did I actually listen to that warning of hers?

Because right now, in my arms, was another girl, with my favorite perfume scent-the one Jessica detested- and pretty eyes. I was entranced by the lady for a moment, and now I had got rid of the attraction. I pushed her out of my grip, scoffing. She frowned, and turned, leaving the scene casually. Girls at the bar were all like this. They were all cool about getting ditched seconds after getting picked up.

“Yah, hyung… Your phone’s ringing.” Minho called, and I couldn’t help but sigh, thinking that it was Jessica all over again.

“I have a bad feeling hyung, please answer that call!” Taemin shouted exasperatedly, begging for me to answer the call.

I didn’t even bother to look at the caller ID, before I shut my phone, to the extent of pulling the battery out.

“Hyung, you’re being too much.” Minho hissed, clenching his teeth. I couldn’t help but laugh. Me? Being too much?

“Are you ing serious?” I yelled, pulling him by the collar.

“Jjong!” I heard Onew yell, but I did no action to stop. “Are you lecturing me, Choi Minho?” I snarled, putting a fist on his cheek.

I let go, after all the shouting from my dongsaengs and Onew hyung, annoyed.

“Shut up.” I sneered, pulling my coat on. “I’m going.”

Jessica’s POV

I still remember the way he smiled at me, and how his caring gestures touched my heart.

“Sica-yah, don’t cry! Hara was being foolish, and kidding around with you, I swear! She’s my half-sister.” He cooed, pulling me into a warm embrace. I smiled through the tears, choking back all the sobs.

For him.

“Sica, I swear, let us not turn out like that when things get hard, alright?” He whispered, and as if on cue, the wind brushed by, and for the first time, he smiled.

“I know you love the wind… And now, so do I…”

I took a moment of consideration… Let us not turn out like that when things get hard… But look what happened now? I chuckled to myself, oblivious of the tears trickling down the frame of my face. I turned my head sideways, looking, staring at the reflection on the glass.

I stopped for that moment. Time stopped, people stopped, and so did my world.

Was that… Glass?

Was that… Me?

The lights blinded my vision and I swear… I couldn’t scream, no matter how much fear, how constricting the curl around my heart was, I didn’t dare let out a word… Because merely 4 hours ago… He told me…

“Shut up. Your voice… Is so annoying.”

Screeching of tires, terrified screams, honking of cars, all stopped me in my tracks.

Was it me?

And then, magically, it was peaceful…

Once again.

Jonghyun’s POV

I couldn’t help but think of what Taemin said. I had a sick feeling in my stomach too.

“Are you kidding me? I must be insane.” I joked, staring into space. I stopped for a moment. I don’t know why… But for a second…

My heart stopped.

I couldn’t breathe…

“I swear!” She giggled, “If I get into any trouble, your heart would stop for a millisecond, and then, you’d come running to me. Either that, or you’d be in trouble with me!” Jessica said, kissing the tip of my nose. And I nodded.

A tingling feeling ran down my spine and I breathed heavily. I’m probably too imaginative.

And so, I went home, in hopes of falling asleep for a night.

Jessica’s POV

*Beeeeeep*

Black… I can’t see… Or feel…  My numb fingers twitched, and my blurry vision faded slightly. Three silhouettes were scurrying about, and I could faintly hear them call out.

“This guy turned off his phone! We’ve been calling for hours!”

“Look for sister or something!”

“Ahh, stupid me! Here’s one!”

I feel so tired… I felt so helpless at the moment… And weariness took over me.

Jonghyun’s POV

My conscience made me turn on my phone once again, and I checked the phone calls I had. To my surprise, Jessica didn’t phone me even once! I stared at the unknown number, eyes wide and mouth agape.

This number is weird…

I couldn’t stop the rumbling feeling in my stomach that killed me each time I thought of Jessica. Was she in trouble?

Was it me?

Suddenly, the phone in my hands vibrated and started to sing loudly, and I hesitantly looked at the Caller ID.

Krystal! (:

I furrowed my eyebrows, confused. Of all people, why would Krystal be calling me? I picked up the call, muttering a soft hello.

“YOU !” I pulled the phone away from my ear as I heard shuffling noises from the caller. What the heck?

“Hello? Who are you?”

“WHO AM I? YOU MUST BE CRAZY, DELUSIONAL OR ING HEARTLESS!” I could recognize Krystal’s voice from the background. The phone seemed to be passed around as shuffling noises were heard once again.

“Uhm, Jong-“

“THAT ! DON’T EVEN MENTION HIS ING NAME!” Ouch!

“Erm, well, we’re kinda in a situation here!” Sulli’s voice trembled as she spoke, and I wondered what made Krystal so agitated.

“Sica unnie is in the hospital!” Luna yelled.

“YAH! THAT’S NOT THE POINT! I CALLED HIM TO TEACH HIM A LESSON!”

“Sorry!” Victoria squeaked. “Uri aegi is a bit angry now, can you come over? Sica seems… Bad!”

“ this.” I raised an eyebrow. Was that Amber?

“Dude, Amber here. Guess what?”

“Erm, what?”

“Your pretty little-“

“EX!”

“-girlfriend got in a car accident. And I can’t help but say that it IS your fault, -face. Anyway, swing over now. I’m giving you five or I’m not letting you in. I swear, it isn’t gonna be pretty.”

*BEEP*

They…hung up?

Wait…

Ex-Girlfriend? Jessica?

I gulped, silently praying she was alright. But I knew a part of me wanted to make sure she was out of my life.

Jessica’s POV

I could feel the tight bandages wrapped around my face, the oxygen out of me. I struggled to get my breathing even, a weak groan escaping my lips. I tore open my eyelids, to see the blurry image of my sister, Krystal.

“Jess, are you alright?” She spoke in a soft tone, in English. I managed a tiny smile, grabbing her hand in mine. “I’m fine.”

“W-why… Why am I here?” I asked in a hoarse voice, squeezing her hand in mine.

“You got into a car accident, unnie.” The way she spoke, it was as if she was afraid that if she spoke any louder, I would break.

And I believe I would have.

My heart hammered in my chest as the face I last wished to see appeared at the doorway.

“Sica?” The way he called my name, was so sickeningly fake.

“Krystal, I think I’m gonna faint.” The pumping of my heart almost broke my ribcage as Jonghyun narrowed his eyes, and I knew my heart stopped beating the moment those words escaped his lips.

Jonghyun’s POV

I didn’t get why. I don’t understand why. And mostly…  I don’t want to know why. My head hurts, I’m so tired of this, of us. I wanted this to end. But, most definitely not this way.

How cruel…I chuckled, and the voice in my head seemed to irk me more than the girl before me, shoving me out of the doors of the hospital room.

I put my hands to my head, heartily laughing.

Was this the reality I wanted?

Was this the ending of our story?

The story that only I didn’t know, flashed before me. It seemed as if she did everything right, but no one seemed to care about my point of view now.

They were all crying over the messed up state of Jessica Jung, her hopeless heart, her dying heartbeat…

Yes!

It had stopped.

And I started to wonder…

Was it me?
