I sat outside, leaning on the pole of the basketball net.

He walked out from the school and headed towards me. Spotting him, I stood up.

Once he was close enough, I walked forwards, arms slightly outstretched expecting a hug. But he stopped me with two words.

"We're done."

I looked up slowly, my eyes slowly filling up with tears. What?

"But...but..." was all I managed to whimper out.

"I've realized that Yu Ri really is my other half. My parents love her, I love her."

Now sobbing, I clamped my hands over my ears, shaking my head. "No...no...NO!" I screamed, backing away from him. This wasn't happening. No. He can't be doing this.

But then, I heard it again. Even though my palms were glued to my ears, the voice rang out, crystal clear.

"Sung Hyun...Sung Hyun-ah..."

I slowly woke into consciousness, keeping my eyes closed but expecting him to be there when I opened them.

"Seungri..." I softly spoke.

I waited. But there was no answer. All I heard was the soft buzz of the lights in what I assumed was the school infirmary.

"Seungri?" I called out again, my eyes still closed.

Again, I waited, but his calm, reassuring voice didn't sound. And so I opened my eyes.

But there was nothing. Literally nothing in front of me. Black. Darkness. That's all I can describe it as. My muscles told me that my eyelids were wide open, but yet...I couldn't see.

I slowly raised my right hand above me. Nothing. I shook it around. Nothing.

"Seungri...SEUNGRI?!" I almost screamed, sitting up. Still no response.

Scared and shaken, I lay back down again, tears forming in the sides of my sightless eyes. I cried. Cried and cried, waiting for anything, anyone to come and tell me what was going on. 

But while I sobbed my heart out, my stupid brain took over again, filling me with dread and despair. 

That's right. He wasn't here right now. He was with his parents. And Yu Ri. Oh God, why did I let him do it? A new wave of tears came crashing over me, and my breathing became short and fast.

If I hadn't let him act with Yu Ri, then I wouldn't be here right now, blind. AISH, Sung Hyun, stop being so greedy. I hit myself with my fist. Seungri just wanted to make his parents happy...and he'll tell them about me...eventually...

Oh, who am I kidding. I'm a piece of trash compared to Yu Ri. She's got the looks, the manner, and is the perfect liar. Not that that's a thing to be proud of, but still. I'm the sporty type. Most of the time I either wore shorts or sweats, and just a t-shirt on top. I didn't wear makeup, and the only time I wore a dress was during my aunt's wedding and my birthday. I'm not elegant or classy.

Ugh, who would accept me? Certainly not rich people. Except...Seungri. 

My hand wandered up to my neck, where my key necklace was still there, unharmed from my fall. My fingers traced the outline, running over the engraved letters. The moment when he confessed to me suddenly flashed in my head, and I clutched the small pendant in my fist and clenched my teeth. It really was over. I felt hopeless without Seungri here.

Why would he even like me? Why would anybody like me? I'm not pretty, and I'm not particularly smart. So how come he asked me out? Was it just so he could get over Sung Mi and Yu Ri? Or maybe he only liked Sung Mi because she reminded him of Yu Ri...

I groaned in frustration and shook my head. This was giving me a headache, and I just couldn't stand it anymore. Seungri wasn't here, and I was now blind. 

Maybe it was just the fear from the sudden blindness that made me think these things. Even so, my heart drowned in that fear, and I cried myself to sleep.

The next time I woke up, I could tell that I was somewhere else.

Instead of silence, a soft buzz of voices filled the big room. Perhaps I was in some sort of hospital?

I tried opening my eyes again. Still nothing. I sighed.

"Oh! She's awake!" I heard a female say. A familiar female.

"Sung Hyun! Are you okay?" It was a guy this time.

I blinked. "...Who...who are you guys? I...I can't see," I quietly choked out.

The girl gasped. "Omo. Sung-ie, it's me, Jung Hyo. All of us have come to see you."

I gave a small smile. "Ah...really? What time is it right now?"

"It's 5:30 right now...you're in the hospital," I finally recognized Ji Wan's voice.

"Ohh...so...do you guys know why I can't see?" I turned towards the voices, signalling to my eyes.

There was a slight pause.

"Um...well...no..." Jung Hyo responded in a quiet voice. "The doctor wants to talk to your parents first."

"They haven't come yet?" I asked.

"Well, I tried calling them with your cell, and they said they were stuck in traffic. But they're on their way," she said reassuringly.

I nodded. We were all quiet for a moment.

"Um...has...S-...Seung..." I stuttered.

"Sung Hyun," Jung Hyo said softly, and I felt someone grab my hand. "We...we haven't seen him all day. Ji tried calling him, but he didn't answer."

I bit my lip and nodded. Right. He's busy. I shouldn't bother him by telling him I'm in the hospital. 

"Guys..." I squeaked out, on the verge of tears. "I-...I'm fine...you guys should go home now...I-..I'm really okay..."

"Are you sure?" I heard Sung Mi ask, concerned.

"We can stay a bit longer..." Wan Dong's voice stated.

"No, no, I...it's really okay," I said quietly, blinking back tears. I didn't want them to see me crying.

"Well, okay...but get some rest...we'll try and contact Seungri as soon as possible," said Ri Young.

I bit my lip and nodded. "Thanks guys."

"No prob," they chorused.

They said my farewells to me, and once I was sure that they had left, I silently cried again. I controlled myself from sobbing since I was in a public hospital, and I just let the tears flow out of my sightless eyes. Since I had no more visitors and I couldn't see, I just decided to drift off back into sleep, free of stresses and worries.

What woke me next was someone's hand gripping my right, their fingers laced between mine.

I felt someone brush my bangs from my forehead. Their touch was so gentle and enticing. It relaxed me, and my heart started to warm up, knowing that he was finally here, away from Yu Ri, comforting me and keeping me safe. 

"S...Seung..ri..." I said ever so softly, gripping the hand in mine tightly. 

The hand that was brushing my forehead quickly retracted, and the muscular hand in mine loosened their hold.

"Sung Hyun."

I froze. 

This voice was also familiar, but it wasn't Seungri's.
