"Agassi?" Someone called out
Your eyes fluttered open as you sat up, rubbing the sleep away from your eyes. You turned to see your father standing awkwardly, unsure of what to do. You smiled softly and held out your arms, watching as he stepped inside.
"What's wrong Appa?" You whispered, patting his back
"I heard from the doctor's." He whispered, hugging you tighter
"About what?" You asked, blinking back tears
"Your heart. It's not working anymore." He said, his voice thick with tears
"No, I'm still alive and breathing. You know how tough I am." You said, laughing as you pulled away
"I'm worried. I'm scared that I might not get to see you walk down the aisle." He said, staring at you as his tears fell
"Appa, I'm fine. I'm not scared anymore." You said, wiping away his tears
"I want you to go to the states." Your father said, his voice stern
"Why?" You asked, confused
"I know a heart specialist there. I already arranged for a heart transplant." Your father said, nodding his head
"I'm not taking it." You said, narrowing your eyes
"Why not?" He asked, wide eyed
"I want a heart and you do too. But I'm not taking one away from someone else. I'll get mine fair and square." You said, shaking your head
"Ji Hyun! This is an order!" He yelled, shaking his head
"I'm not going to do it! You can't make me!" You yelled back, tears falling
"Why not? You're the only one I have after your mother died." Your father said, his voice shaking
"Appa, I don't want to die. I also want to live. How can I live with myself if someone else dies because of me?" You asked, sobbing
"If you don't take it, then how much longer will you be able to live?" Your father asked, sitting down besides you
"For a long time. I'll live for a long time." You said, nodding your head
"Hello?" Baekhyun asked, answering his phone
"Did you hear?" Chanyeol asked, his voice excited
"What?" Baekhyun asked, yawning
"The Chairman is coming to inspect and they want us to get there early." Chanyeol said, sighing
"And? It's not like we have to do anything else besides work." Baekhyun pointed out, rolling his eyes
"But we have to dress nicer." Chanyeol argued, sighing
"Like what? A suit?" Baekhyun asked, chuckling
"I don't know, just nicer clothes." Chanyeol said
"Fine, I'll see if I have anything nicer. I'll see you at work." Baekhyun said, before hanging up
Baekhyun quickly took a shower and changed into a decent plaid shirt and his nicest jeans. He grabbed his backpack and his tool bag before heading to work, making sure his medicine was in his pocket.
Baekhyun soon arrived to work and slipped his belt on, waving to Chanyeol before climbing up the ladder. He fastened his helmet onto his head and walked towards Chanyeol, wrapping his arm around his shoulder.
"So much for nicer." Chanyeol murmured, shaking his head
"What? We're going to get dirty anyways." Baekhyun said, chuckling
"That's true. Oh! Kris hyung wants us to come over and have some drinks." Chanyeol said, turning to Baekhyun
"Kris hyung? Okay." Baekhyun said, nodding his head
"Look! Here they are." Chanyeol whispered, looking at a group of people
Baekhyun turned around and noticed the Chairman and the directors, looking around. Chanyeol and Baekhyun bowed as they passed by, turning back to work as they left. Baekhyun leaned down to grab a hammer and noticed a girl walking behind them, her head twisting around as she stared at the building.
Baekhyun bowed when she turned to look at him, her eyes wide as she bowed as well. He turned around to work and slipped off his shirt, not wanting to get it dirty. Baekhyun heard someone coughing and turned around to see the girl gasping as she ran to the bathroom.
"Is she okay?" Baekhyun asked, slipping his shirt back on before he walked towards her
"Where are we going?" You asked, staring outside the window
"To the construction site. There's some problems going on." Your father said, sighing
"Why?" You asked, turning to look at him
"Apparently someone ordered the wrong material and there's going to be a delay." He said, shrugging
"I thought we were going to meet Ahjussi and Kai." You asked, confused
"Well, Mr. Kim is going to meet us at a restaurant nearby. As for Jongin, he's still at the company." He said, looking at you
"Why is he always working? It's frustrating." You said, shaking his head
"I heard he's doing it to keep himself occupied." Your father said, looking at you
"He likes me that much?" You asked, smirking
"And you? I thought you were childhood sweethearts?" Your father asked, laughing
"No, he forced himself onto me. I was the popular one, not him." You said, laughing
"Jongin is a good boy, I couldn't have picked a better son-in-law." Your father said, nodding his head
"I'm sure there are better ones out there." You said, sticking out your tongue
"Really? If you ever meet a better one, bring him to me and we'll see." He said, shaking his head
You soon arrived at the site and got out of the car, slinging your bag over your body. You followed your father inside and noticed several workers bowing. You stayed behind a bit and stared around, your eyes wide in awe as you noticed the distance to the ground.
You looked up and noticed a boy looking at you, bowing before he turned away. You blushed as you saw him take off his shirt, his arms toned from labor. You turned back once you began to cough, losing your breath. You looked around and noticed a bathroom and you ran inside, falling to the ground as you struggled to breathe.
"Hello? Are you okay?" Someone asked, knocking on the door
You reached into your bag to look for your medicine and you gasped when you couldn't find it. You began to grow dizzy as you coughed, the pain in your chest unbearable.
The door flew open and the boy you were staring at crouched down, grabbing something from his pockets. He grabbed two pills and handed them to you, watching as you swallowed them dry.
"Are you okay? Should I get help?" He asked, his voice soft
"No, I'm fine." You managed to say, nodding your head
"Are you sure?" He asked, handing you the bottle
You grabbed some more pills and swallowed them, resting your head on the door as you got your breath back. He sat down besides you and handed you a bottled water, waiting until you stood up.
"Thank you." You whispered, standing up
"No, it's fine." He said, bowing before he walked away
You stared after him before you followed after him, noticing your father coming back. You ran after him and followed him outside, watching as he entered the car.
"Let's go." He said, smiling
"Yeah, okay." You said, nodding your head
You glanced down at your hand and your eyes flew open when you realized you still had the bottle the boy had given. You shook your head and sighed, wincing in embarrassment. You looked down at the label and you felt your heart race as you read his name.
'Byun Baekhyun.'
Red means death.
Green means life.
Yellow means limbo. A person between life and death.
Suho stared at the two switches, waiting for one to go green and for one to go red. Minutes turned into hours and hours turned into days and yet it was still the same.
"This shouldn't be happening." Suho whispered, shaking his head
He tapped the switches and watched as they stayed at yellow, the color so distinct from the others. Suho stood up and began to pace, unsure of what to do. The situation was too new, something that usually never lasted so long before. He stopped pacing and stared at the clock hanging above the panel.
"What does this mean?" Suho asked, narrowing his eyes
Tick. Tock.
Tick. Tock.
Tick. Tock.
Suho stared at the panels before grabbing his jacket, heading out the door. He began to run down the stairs before he stood at the door that led to the human world, reaching out to touch the handle.
"Don't tell me...........this just got even more interesting." Suho said, chuckling as he opened the door
