An Empty Apartment And A Deadly Bus Ride

Description

Missed calls, a call back, and a received call were all it took for Baekhyun to realize that he would't meet her again.

Foreword

 

 

 

“Naeun?” Baekhyun said meekly when the person on the voice prompt ended speaking. He had just come out of work, and he was walking towards his car that was parked in the building’s basement. He took his cellphone to call Yoo Naeun, who had apparently called him a lot of times before he got out of work. He wasn’t able to answer the calls because he was in an important meeting and he had his cellphone on silent mode. “I’m sorry for not answering your calls; I was in a meeting, and I couldn’t leave even for a second. How’s my lovely fiancée? Call me back as soon as you can, okay? Better yet, let's cuddle in our home. And maybe, talk about our problems?”

 

He hung up the phone after muttering an apology and an ‘I love you.’ Just as he was pocketing his cellphone, it vibrated and he quickly brought it up to his ears, not bothering to check who was calling.

 

“Yeah?”

 

“Oh, Baek, I’m really, really sorry,” the other person on the line asked. He did a double take and checked the caller ID. It was Chanyeol, his best friend. He also happened to work in the same office as Naeun, and that was how he had met her. Chanyeol introduced them two after Naeun saw them eating in a Spanish restaurant downtown Seoul. He then invited for her to join them, because she was alone. Baekhyun and Naeun talked and hit it off, and a year after being friends, they decided to date each other. Five years after, Baekhyun proposed, and she agreed to marry him. They were simply waiting for two weeks before their wedding date arrives.

 

“Hey, what are you apologizing for?” Baekhyun asked with a light chuckle. Chanyeol remained silent, not knowing how to break the news, “I… haven’t you heard the news yet?”

 

“What news?”

 

“Baek, the bus that Naeun was riding on her way home, it… exploded. T-the bodies are not identified yet though,” he finally said. Baekhyun stopped walking as he blinked again and again, the news coming as a big surprise to him. “I’m sure that she was on that bus, Baek. I walked her to the bus stop and waited with her until she got in.” 

 

.......

 

Hopefully, it would be an unexpected plot. It's my first time to write a story such as this one, so pardon me if it isn't as good as you may have expected. :S
