Chapter 25: Guilt
Love Literally
Dasom gave the taxi driver a tip before trudging her way to the airport. She promised herself never to look back after that, and to start anew.
"Why are you doing all this? You're not part of this mess"
Jimin sighed."Isn't it obvious? I like you and i want to change your thoughts. That Kris never liked you appreciated, so why are you still clinging on to him? I want to be the one to change you, so lets give that a lesson." Then his face grew serious. "Have you seriously never thought about liking me in that manner? You're too devoted. hmm. i wonder what i kiss from you would feel like..." he drifted off.
Dasom glared at him then smacked him on his head." let's just go teach Kourin a lesson.." she muttered, looking away.
A loud screech followed by a loud agonised cry pierced through the air, causing Dasom to turn around to the revolting sight.
There, legs under the car, lay a man about the same age her, blood leaking from his wound profusely. Low murmurs could be heard as the driver got out of the car and started calling the ambulance. Many people ran away at the sight, not wanting to get involved.
Dasom was about to turn away as well, but stopped when she noticed the victim's face. The features were oddly familiar. Suddenly she felt a lump in . Could it be..?
She examined the face closely as she walked closer. No. No way. It couldn't be. But it was. The guy who clealr showed his affection to her was now lying unconcious on the ground.
She clutches onto his head tightly as tears trickled down her face. The driver put the phone down and looked at her apologetically. "I-i'm s-so s-sorry.. i didn't see him..i-i can pay for the h-hospital fees, i-it's the least i can do.." He bowed his head down.
But Dasom was too shocked to reply. In fact, she hadn't heard him at all. She looked at her friend guiltily," Please please please wake up! I'm so sorry..." She cried. Suddenly all jer emotions bottled up inside her came rushing out, all her guilt, anger, pain, remorse..." If i hadn't asked to help me you needn't leave with me now and met with this accident..you weren't part of this mess i'm in, i'm really sorry to drag you in it..please be ok.. it was all my fault , not yours.." She turned to the skies,"please don't let Jimin suffer for what i've done.. he doesn't deserve it.., i do..!" She cried desperately. Jimin's eyelids opened just a miniscule but enough to see Dasom crying.
"D-don-'t cry..."He managed to say, but with much difficulty. But it was enogh to make Dasom smile; just a little.
"P-promise. m-e. y-you will be happy..." Jimin managed to utter his last breath. Dasom nodded vigorously. "I will, i will..." But that was when Jimin felt limp on Dasom's arms. Dasom looked at his face, and was surprised to see a small smile playing on his lips. How could he still smile?? It seemed to be mocking her from the insides. She slowly, unwillingly placed her finger under his nose. She dreaded to know.
"No.." Her body stiffened.
She closed her eyes and let the tears fall freely. Then she bent her
