A/N:  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

yeah, I don't know what this story is, either. you can all blame its existence on the korean movie "pandora". it's a pretty good watch, especially if you're a fan of disaster movies and crying yourself to sleep afterwards. (y) the title is taken from hyukoh's song "die alone" off their new album. you should all do yourself a favor and listen to it because that whole album is an absolute masterpiece. I've been sitting on this story for the better part of a month, waiting for the right time to post it. as usual, birthdays are an excellent opportunity - in this case baekhyun's (which has passed) and joonmyun's (which is coming up). happy birthday, I guess? have some death and suffering.

my family is going through A Pretty ty Time at the moment because of Reasons, so any and all comments would be greatly appreciated and would really make my life a whole lot better. if you have any questions about the story, feel free to ask, too. I love you all. ♥
