Regrets

"Good morning, hubby." I felt a hand brush against my hair. Someone was playing with my hair while I was still sleeping.

I had the most pleasant sleep last night. After singing Dahyun to sleep, I immediately passed out from exhaustion. I guess my body couldn't take it anymore. We both were just extremely tired from yesterday's filming. But today was going to be more stressful since we'll be touring around the city. Or so I heard. We don't completely know yet. There were no updates from the director about it. I guess we'll know today.

I slowly opened my eyes to see Dahyun smiling and I tried to laugh which sounded muffled. "Good morning, wifey. Did you sleep well last night?"

I shuffled on the bed to face her. She placed her head on my chest as she drew circles on it. "I did. I woke up early today but I felt really refreshed."

"Wait. What time is it?" I asked as I widely opened my eyes to look for my phone.

She giggled. "It's 7:46AM. You really slept like a baby."

"That means I slept like a baby for 12 hours. I must have been really tired." I chuckled.

Dahyun suddenly slapped my chest lightly. "Right. The next time you hide something from me, I'll kill you. Don't you dare say you're fine when you didn't even sleep a wink days ago."

I held her hand to stop her from hitting me. "Alright, alright. Why don't we get some more sleep?"

She scoffed. "You and your precious sleep. Get up. I already ordered breakfast. It's gonna get cold if we don't eat now."

"What did you get?" I asked.

Dahyun sat up to face me. "Beans, hungarian sausages, bacon, toast with some strawberry jam and some sunny side up eggs that aren't well-done. Just the way you like it."

"But you hate beans…" I slowly sat up with a confused look on my face.

"But you love them." She answered back with a smirk.

I sighed. "Dahyun-ah…"

She lightly patted my thigh before she started pulling me off the bed. "Let's go. I'm starving!"

We made our way to the room's dining area and had our breakfast together. It was our first breakfast as a "newlywed couple", so it was special. We talked about some personal stuff which helped us get closer. She also shared how scared and anxious she was of going on tour with her members, and how this wedding helped her in lifting some of the weight up.

"I'm telling you, the tickets are mostly sold out. So there must be a certain level of expectation from our fans." Dahyun sighed as she played with her food using her fork. She was hugging her knees towards her.

I placed more food on her plate which she wanted to stop but couldn't after I gave her a glare. "You'll do fine. I've sneaked out of practice just to check up on your practice room. You were really doing well with the preparations."

"Aren't you scared that our managers or even PD-nim would find out about that? You might really get in trouble for it." Dahyun asked out of concern.

I laughed. "No, I don't think so. My members were the one who taught me about it. They must have tried it a dozen times or so. Otherwise, they wouldn't have taught me how to do it."

Dahyun giggled. "Alright. Whatever. Seriously though. How do you calm yourself before each performance?"

"Well that's simple. I just think of you." I nonchalantly said which made Dahyun freeze.

"Ya! How can you be so flirty early in the morning? Can't my heart relax for even a single moment?" She complained.

I chuckled. "Ya! You're the one who asked!"

Her jaw fell in disbelief. "It was a serious question!"

"And it was a serious answer!" I replied as I rolled my eyes.

She rolled her tongue inside her cheeks. "Seriously? So you thought of me before we even got on the show?"

"Nope. I was just plain nervous at that time." I replied.

She gave me a smirk. "So you were thinking of HER at that time?"

I paused for a while and didn't answer. She saw how uncomfortable I was becoming as she stood up from her seat and started approaching me. Dahyun gave me a hug from the side. "I'm sorry. That was insensitive of me. I know how much you hate to talk about it."

I just hummed in response to tell her that it was okay. She sighed and crouched down to look at me in the eye. "I'm sorry.~ Can you please forgive me?~"

"It's okay. Don't worry about it." I gave her a weak smile as I ate the last bacon whole. "I should get back to my room to prepare. The hairstylists and make-up artists will be here around 8:30AM. They might get worried if I'm not in my room."

"JayB-oppa…" She tried to call my name but I went straight for the door and to my room.

What is wrong with me?

________

"There you are Dahyun-ah! We're a bit behind schedule, but it's okay. Did you guys have breakfast already?" Director Youra asked.

I greeted the director before answering her question. "We already ordered some room service before we had our make-up and hair done."

She frowned a little. "That's too bad. We're supposed to film your breakfast scene before we head to our main destination."

"Main destination? What main destination? Where are we going today?" Dahyun asked.

Director Youra smiled. "Remember when I gave you two a survey form about where you guys wanted to go after you had your wedding? We're heading to where Dahyun-ie wants to go."

"And that is?" I asked turning to Dahyun.

Dahyun's eyes widened in excitement. "No way… you're kidding? Are we really going there?!"

I was still confused. "What? Where are we going? Can someone please tell me? I really don't feel like answering any riddles today."

Youra-noona chuckled. "It's where she always wanted to go ever since she was young. Hong Kong Disneyland."

Disneyland in this world is still one of THE best and biggest theme parks. The rides and other other attractions were still there. The difference is that since the technology in this world was far more advanced, it had better and more extreme rides than in the previous world. Have you ever watched a float parade where the trucks actually float in the air? Believe me. It's one of the most magical things you'll see. Ever tried riding a trackless roller coaster? Trust me, it would make you scream your lungs out.

"We are! OH MY GOSH! This is the best day of my life!" Dahyun exclaimed excitedly.

She was jumping up and down until she saw me with a serious face. I raised a brow at her. "Really? TODAY's the best day of your life? Are you sure it wasn't YESTERDAY?"

Dahyun cleared her throat. "Yesterday was the best day of my life SO FAR. Today's another day. So it's a day that has the potential to be called the best."

I sighed before I turned to Director Youra. "So about breakfast, we can still start filming there. We'll just take a few bites. I'm also a bit hungry after all the preparation."

Director Youra nodded in agreement. "Sounds good. Let's do that." She then turned her attention to the staff. "Crew get ready! We're starting in 2 minutes! Places everyone!"

Dahyun then raised her hand and asked the Director a question. "Why are we going with what I want? Don't get me wrong. It's not that I don't want to go to Disneyland. In fact, I'm really grateful for the surprise. But why aren't we going with JayB-oppa's plan? Where does he want to go anyway?"

Youra-noona chuckled as she turned to me. "It's better if you ask him yourself. It's not my secret to tell after all."

After she said that, I tried escaping the conversation as I started heading towards the restaurant and left Dahyun and Youra-noona in their conversation. Dahyun caught up with me. "Hey, is everything okay?"

"Mhmm." I hummed as I sat down on one of the chairs.

"You don't sound okay." She persisted.

I chuckled. "I'm fine. Don't worry about it."

She still had that worried look on her face. "Okay. If you say so. Anyway, what did you write on the survey? You already know I wrote Disneyland. But I think it wouldn't be fair if we weren't able go to a place that you like."

"It's fine. You don't have to worry about it. I also want to go to Disneyland anyway." I replied with a smile.

Dahyun raised an eyebrow at me. "Really? So did you write Disneyland too?"

"Nope." I answered as I leaned on my hand.

"So what did you write?" She asked as she leaned closer and narrowed her eyes at me.

I nodded at the director who was giving us the signal that they'll start shooting in 30 seconds before turning back to Dahyun. "It doesn't matter. Don't worry about it."

"It matters to me." Dahyun insisted as she crossed her arms.

"I'll tell you later." I gave her a smile to tell her that we should move on from this topic since we're about to film.

She rolled her tongue inside her cheek and scoffed. "I believe that you made a promise yesterday that you won't hide anything from me."

"10 seconds before we start filming!" Director Youra announced it to everyone.

Dahyun was angrily staring at me. "Tell me, or I'll make you tell me."

I sighed. "I wrote that I've already been to Hong Kong several times with my family and had no particular place that I wanted to visit. I just wanted you to go to your dream destination in Hong Kong and begged the showrunners and scriptwriters to make it happen. There. I told you everything. Happy?"

Her eyes widened in surprise. She was obviously touched with what I just said. At the same time, I could see a guilty look in her eyes. But before she was able to speak, the director already started filming. "And… rolling."

________

"Hey… can I talk to you for a second?" Dahyun asked as soon as we finished filming the breakfast scene.

The first scene of the day was… interesting to say the least. It was probably one of the best acting skills that I've ever pulled off in my entire life. I tried to be very cheerful as much as I could. It was really weird at first, but I was still able to pull it off. I don't know what I felt but ever since Dahyun started the topic about the mystery girl this morning, I felt quite offended and hurt. After all that we've been through, I thought that she totally forgot about it and had moved on. I thought we both did.

"What's up?" I pretended to be ambiguous.

She sighed before biting her lower lip and rubbing her elbows. "Look… I know you were offended with what I said this morning. I'm sorry. It was a bad joke."

"You're forgiven." I replied with a smile.

"Really? Just like that?" She asked with doubt written all over her face.

"Just like that." I answered nonchalantly.

Dahyun took a step forward and gave me a peck on the cheek. "I'm really sorry."

I sighed. I think I'm just overreacting. After giving her a warm smile, I intertwined my hand with hers as I led the way to our taxi to continue filming our trip to Disneyland. "Let's go."

Just as we were about to leave the hotel and start filming, Dahyun stopped me and pulled me in for a hug. "I'm not leaving until we're okay."

I chuckled. "You're quite clingy today."

She pulled back a little as she turned to me while pouting. "I just want us to be okay."

Dahyun was starting to tear up a little. I didn't want to drag this any longer and just wanted to enjoy this day with her. I gave a long tender kiss on her forehead before giving her a quick kiss on the nose. "We ARE okay. You don't have to overthink things. Let's just enjoy today. Okay?"

She started smiling again as she gave me a nod. Her smile then turned into a curious expression. "So are you just going to stop with a kiss on the nose?"

Her words made me bite my lower lip. "Ya. Kim Dahyun. There are people looking."

"So what? You gave me a kiss a while ago?" She complained with a pout.

I rolled my eyes. "There weren't many people a while ago."

She gave me a playful glare. "Pick one. I'll kiss you or you kiss me."

I gave her a quick peck on the lips. "There's your answer. Now let's go. Everyone else is waiting for us."

She blushed a little as she acted all shy. "You're really the best. You know that? Did you really write all of that in the survey?"

"I did. Your happiness is my happiness after all." I replied as I started walking with her to the hotel's drop off site by the entrance.

Our filming continued as we rode a taxi heading for the theme park. It wasn't a boring trip at all since Dahyun talked nonstop about what she wanted to try out first and other things like food that she wanted to taste. Her excitement didn't stop at all as she grew more enthusiastic as her story progressed. It was definitely a treat to witness my wife act all cute like that. She also asked me to teach her a few more words since she wanted to do some things on her own when we get to the park. I didn't mind since there were events in the theme park that only allowed one person. Besides, there's no harm in letting her roam around alone. It was safe since she was never truly alone since the crew would be following her around.

"We're here! I can't believe we're finally here!" Dahyun exclaimed as she practically glued her face on the car door's window.

It was better than I remembered. The only memory I had of this place was before I even reincarnated. It was the original Kim Jinbo's memories. So technically, this was my first time coming here. The memory that I had did not justify how majestic and amazing the place was. Just the entrance itself was enough to leave you breathless. The technology in this world really helped with the park's theatrics. I can't even begin to describe the view.

"Calm down. You're going to hurt yourself." I warned Dahyun as she rushed out of the taxi as soon as it stopped. After paying the driver, I had to chase her and stop her from running off on her own. It's like the kid in her just got out of a cage.

Dahyun suddenly clung onto my arm as she giggled. "Thank you."

"For what?" I asked.

She smiled at me before she tiptoed for a kiss on the cheek. "For making my dream come true. I know we're both busy with the tour's preparations. And you're busy with your solo album, and plenty of other things. But it's really sweet of you to make this happen. Not only did you fulfill your promise to have our wedding abroad, but you also brought me to one of the places on my bucket list. I'm really REALLY grateful."

"If you're really THAT grateful, why don't you give me a kiss?" I teased with a smirk on my face. I thought that she would be shy about it, but to my surprise, she suddenly cupped my face and pulled me in for a kiss. I was so surprised that my mind suddenly went blank. Lesson learned. Never tease Dahyun when she's grateful and overwhelmed with happiness.

Dahyun smirked as she let go of my face and started prancing towards the entrance. "Come on, loverboy! There's so much that we need to do!"

As soon as she called me over, I snapped out of my thoughts and ran after her. Since we got the VIP pass, we didn't need to wait in line. But we didn't directly go for the rides. Instead, we went around to view the shops and other sights since the park was really huge. We tried out some costumes and even went shopping for some things. The crew were happy to carry some of our stuff for us. After a while, the morning parade came and we were able to witness it. I can never stop being amazed at this world's advanced technology. It didn't just boost the extremity rides, it also made the parade and their floats look like it was run by magic. The floats were actually floating, some of the dancers were flying, the real-life special effects were really astonishing that it'll probably make the CGI in the previous world look like a kindergarten's drawing. It really made the park come to life!

Soon, Dahyun and I had a quick lunch since there were still a lot of places that were left unexplored. She was so excited to go and ride the park's attractions but at the same time, she was starting to feel uncomfortable. Why? Just like that time when we visited Myeongdong back when we were filming the second episode, there were a lot of people that were starting to gather around us. The difference this time is that we had a LOT of bodyguards and even if they were saying terrible things to Dahyun, she couldn't understand them anyway. Right now, Dahyun wanted to do something that'll probably get rid of some of the people around us. I just didn't like the idea.

"Come on, oppa! It'll be fun!" Dahyun insisted as she forcefully dragged me towards the park's haunted house.

Why does every park have these things? Can't they have a brighter place like a candy house or something? Why does it have to be a horror house or a haunted house? It's not like I was afraid, it's just that it was a great place for a crime to be committed. Especially since it was dark.

"I KNOW it's fun. But can we do it later?" I suggested.

Dahyun crossed her arms and pouted. "What's wrong? I thought you liked these things?"

I tried to calm her down. She was acting like a spoiled kid today. "I do. I do. But why don't we try out the rides first and THEN go for the haunted house afterwards."

"So you'll go with Wendy-unnie in the haunted house as your blind date, but you wouldn't go in with your wife? Alright. I understand." She narrowed her eyes at me before she started walking away.

"It's not that. It's just that there are a LOT of people crowding us right now. Something MIGHT happen while we're inside. Let's tire them out first." I grab Dahyun by the wrist and whispered to her as I tried to explain the situation. Thankfully, she understood what I meant as she slowly nodded in agreement.

The only way out of this was to exhaust the people out by moving around. They'll soon get tired of following us and we'll finally be able to spend our date in peace. It was starting to become more annoying since some of the fans were forcing their way through the bodyguards. The park's security personnel already came to help. Sadly, the fans were still quite aggressive. It slowed down the filming process as we hopped from one attraction to another.

Though it was annoying, we were still able to enjoy ourselves as we took on the extreme rides. Honestly, if you don't have the stomach to ride a rollercoaster, you'd probably faint when you're riding a trackless roller coaster. It was totally unpredictable that it could go at any direction at any time. You'd probably scream until you pass out. Dahyun surprisingly took it well. Instead of screaming in fear, she was enjoying herself. As far as I remember, she was genuinely afraid of heights. Watching her have fun as if we weren't filming made me want to loosen up a bit and just have fun despite the situation we were in. I can't believe that Dahyun's changing me in so many ways.

"That's it. Let it out." Dahyun was patting my back as I puked on a trash can.

"Well, there goes my lunch." I joked as I stood up and wiped my face with a tissue.

Dahyun laughed. "It wasn't that bad."

I rolled my eyes in response. "For you maybe. I haven't ridden something like this before."

She chuckled as she sprayed some sanitizer on my hands. "I know right? Our theme parks back at home aren't that advanced yet."

"I should think about opening my own theme park in Seoul then." I joked.

"As if. You're already too busy to even call me, and you want to open up another business? Forget it." She responded.

Our bickering went on as we went to the last ride we could manage to get on today -- the zero-G carts. It's basically a ferris wheel without the wheel. And instead of going around like a wheel, they float around the entire park. We decided to take this ride as our last stop before we head to the haunted house. There were two reasons for that. First, Disneyland is WAY too big to get on every ride within a day. And secondly, it's great that we could just sit and relax in a place where no one could bother us.

"Well… that was pretty thrilling, huh?" Dahyun asked as soon as our cart started floating. The good thing about this cart is that we could choose where we wanted to land in the park. Of course, we chose to land near the haunted house since I promised her that we'd go there.

"It was, wasn't it?" I chuckled as I kept my eyes on the view. The entire theme park looked amazing up here. I really am blessed to have been reincarnated in such an amazing place like this. Dahyun and I were sitting across each other so I could still catch a glimpse of what she was doing.

"Hey, JayB-oppa." Dahyun called out.

"Hmm? What's up?" I hummed as I continued looking through the window.

She took a deep breath in. "I'm sorry."

"That came out of nowhere." I snapped my head towards her and had a confused look on my face.

Dahyun gave a wry smile. "Yeah. I know. I just wanted to say it."

I waved it off with a laugh. "Don't worry about it. There's nothing to apologize about."

"There is. It's not okay that I keep on teasing you about something you're not comfortable with. I also know how much you hate it when I tease you with other girls." She admitted.

Her words made me smile. I sat beside her before holding her hand. "Thank you for apologizing. I mean it. But there's nothing to apologize for. You were just playing around and were goofing off. Yes, you did cross the line, but it doesn't matter anymore. I'm just glad to be here with you."

"You mean that?" Dahyun asked.

I slowly leaned in to kiss the top of her head before pulling her in for a tight hug. "Of course. You're all that matters to me, Dahyun-ah."

Dahyun gave a loud sigh. "How can you be so selfless like this? You know it's okay to think about yourself more, right? You know... self love?"

I broke away from the hug before cupping her face. "I know. I DO care about myself. That's why I'm doing my best to make you happy and take care of you. Because if anything happens to you, I probably won't be able to handle it."

She caressed my face. "You've done more than enough. For me, to your members, to your fans and to the company. You're the most selfless and humble person I've ever known. And I'm really honored to be your wife."

"Thank you. That means a lot." I said as I tucked her hair behind her ear.

She gave me a smirk. "If you're really THAT grateful, then give me a kiss."

"Are you getting back at me right now?" I raised my brow.

"Maybe." Dahyun leaned as her smirk got wider.

I immediately took this opportunity to surprise her with a quick peck on the lips which made her freeze on the spot. She must have thought that I wasn't going to do it since the cameras were rolling. Dahyun didn't say a word as I watched her process what just happened. Seconds later, the cart finally halted in the drop off near the haunted house. As soon as the doors opened, I quickly got out as I started chuckling happily.

"Ya! JayB-oppa! Did you just-" Dahyun called out as she tried catching up to me.

I chuckled. "I just did. And did you just talk down on me?"

She realized that she did and immediately piped up. "No I didn't."

"You did." I insisted.

She looked away. "Fine. Even if I did. I can talk down to you, right? You're my husband after all."

I shook my head in disbelief before taking her hand. "Let's just get to the haunted house."

"I love you, JayB-oppa." She said in a low volume enough for me to hear.

"What was that?" I pretended to be ambiguous and surprised.

She started skipping towards the destination. "Nothing! Come on, loverboy! Let's go!"

I started catching up to her before surprising her with a hug from behind which made her giggle. I then whispered to her ear. "I love you too."

Dahyun giggled as she tried to escape from my grip. She acted all shy and pretended to feel embarrassed about it. It was as if she was really worried that people would start to stop and stare. Although that might happen, we didn't mind it. What she didn't know was that I tried catching up to her because I noticed that something was weird. There was a certain person that had been following us ever since we entered the place. Little did we know that this person would soon do something unexpected.

_______

"Are you sure you're okay?" Dahyun asked as she caressed my arm.

We were now standing in line for the haunted house. She was looking at me out of concern. Dahyun must have noticed how cautious and quiet I've become. I gave her a wide smile. "Of course. Why wouldn't I be?"

"It's just… you seem… off. You're not scared, are you?" She continued to ask.

I breathed out before I gave Dahyun a hug. "The only thing that I'm afraid of is losing you."

She giggled on my chest. "You're being cheesy again, loverboy."

Dahyun wanted to pull away from the hug, but I pulled her back and hugged her tightly. "Let me just stay like this for a while."

Dahyun just agreed without saying anything. She knew that every time I was thinking hard or was worried about something, I would give her a long hug. There was something that was bothering me. I had this gut feeling that we would be in danger the moment we step inside the haunted house. But Dahyun was really looking forward to this attraction and I couldn't say "no" to her. I just had to protect her.

She then slowly pulled away from the hug. "Feeling much better?'

I slowly nodded and smiled. "Thank you."

"Anytime." She replied as she pinched my cheek.

"Next couple please!" The person who was in charge with the attraction called out.

"That's us! It's finally our turn! Let's go!" Dahyun excitedly pulled me towards the entrance.

We started making our way to the person who was going to explain about the rules on what to do inside. While he was explaining to us about what to do, my eyes were looking for the person who was following us. Unfortunately, I couldn't find that person. This can either mean two things. Either that person left and stopped following us, or that person hid somewhere where I couldn't find him or her. It was hard to keep track since the person was wearing a face mask and a hoodie.

After the guy finished explaining, Dahyun and I finally started making our way inside the horror house. As soon as we did, she immediately started clinging tightly onto me. It made me laugh snicker. "You know, Dahyun-ah. I still don't understand why you keep doing these things. You're afraid of heights yet you rode those extreme rides. You hate seeing ghosts but you want to go inside the horror house."

She was shaking while clinging tightly still. Dahyun then whispered to me in reply. "It's because I'm with you. I can at least be brave when I'm with you. I've seen and heard stories of people you've been with in an amusement park. If I can't at least do these things with my husband, who am I going to do them with?"

I halted my steps as soon as I heard her response. It made me see her in a different light. She must have seen videos of my blind date with Wendy-noona. Lisa must have also told her about our date in the past. I guess she wanted to try this out herself even if she was scared. I could sense that she was trembling really hard as we passed through each room and each jump scare. She was starting to cry as well which made it look so cute. I didn't see this side of her because she always seemed so strong. It was rare to see her vulnerable like this. Even though I was somehow having fun and was enjoying the moment, I couldn't shake the feeling of constantly being vigilant. It's like the entire place was screaming out danger.

Out of nowhere, the lights suddenly turned off. Well, it was already dark before but it was as if the electricity suddenly shut off. Even one of the actors who was wearing a werewolf outfit became surprised at the sudden blackout. The actors and other people who were wearing costumes started approaching us and told us to remain calm and not to move for a while since it was dangerous to continue when there was no power. There were a lot of contraptions and gadgets inside the haunted house. If the electricity would suddenly fluctuate when it comes back on, the gadgets would go haywire for a few seconds. Dahyun was starting to calm down.

The music and the electricity suddenly turned on which startled Dahyun completely. She started running off on her own the moment the sound of thunder came. It was cute to watch her scared like that but somehow, I couldn't laugh about it. There was a part of me that was screaming and telling me to run after her and to keep an eye out for her. My instincts were usually right. I immediately bolted towards the direction on which Dahyun went. To my horror, she suddenly went missing. I immediately approached the nearest actor who was about to do a jumpscare. I told him about the situation and he quickly notified the nearest watcher. The watcher then started contacting the other watchers around the horror house to confirm Dahyun's location. Unfortunately, they said that they didn't see anyone.

Another weird thing just happened. After the short blackout, the other watchers weren't responding anymore. Some of the actors who were on standby didn't respond as well. That's when my instincts went into overdrive. I knew that something was wrong. Just then, a thought came into mind. The moment I put the pieces together, I started running off again. I ignored every jumpscare and started looking for Dahyun relentlessly. Finally, I saw a girl who was standing at the end of the hall with a horrified look on her face. It was Dahyun. She was covering her arm with her other hand. There was blood on her cardigan which started to scare me. She seemed to be looking at someone. I turned to where she was facing and saw a hooded figure with a bloody knife in the person's hand.

The figure started running towards Dahyun and was prepared to stab her. Everything went in slow motion for me as I ran towards Dahyun too. It was a race against time. The way I saw things, I knew that I wasn't going to make it in time. Just then, the most risky idea came into mind, instead of heading towards where Dahyun was, I made a B-line towards the assailant. I ran as fast as I could and just as before the figure could reach and stab Dahyun, I was able to tackle him. The figure fought back a little as we rolled on the floor. As soon as I was able to pin him down, I took one good swing which knocked the person out. I took off the mask that was covering the person's face and recognized… her. She was the weird fan whom I met in the airport yesterday. She must have been really jealous of Dahyun that's why she wanted to attack her.

I started taking off both of my shoes and removed the shoelaces to tie her hands and feet. She might try to escape as soon as she regains consciousness. After making sure that she couldn't escape. I immediately went to check up on Dahyun who was still cowering in a corner and was still pretty shocked at the situation. This sasaeng fan really took a huge blow on her mentally. Thank goodness that her wound wasn't deep. I took out my handkerchief and started wrapping it.

Dahyun was trembling in fear. I cupped her face and forcibly made her face me. "You're okay. Don't worry. You're safe now."

"I-I was so s-scared. She started off killing p-people who were trying to stop h-her. I thought I was going to d-die." Dahyun stuttered in between her sobs.

I pulled her in for a hug and was shushing her. "It's okay now. You're safe now."

She didn't respond as she held me tightly. A watcher soon found us and I quickly told him to call security and the police. I also asked him to call an ambulance. After telling him what to do, I helped Dahyun up as we started making our way towards the exit. The moment we walked out of the exit, Director Youra rushed towards us and gave Dahyun a hug as she frantically inspected her.

"Are you both okay?! What the heck happened?! Do you need medical attention?! You're bleeding Dahyun-ah!" Youra-noona was starting to turn pale as she watched Dahyun cover her wound.

Dahyun gave her a light smile. "I'm fine. It's all thanks to JayB-oppa." Dahyun then turned to smile at me. "He saved my life."

Youra-noona then started walking towards me. "I'm glad that you're both safe."

"Noona…" I called out to her.

She gave me a smile. "What is it?"

"Take care of Dahyun-ie. Make sure she gets home safe." I told her as I started to breathe heavily.

Dahyun was alarmed as she started walking towards me. "What are you talking about JayB-oppa?"

I tried to chuckle in between my breathing. "Gosh… I really wanted to make this a memorable day for you, princess. Sadly, I couldn't even do it. I'm sorry."

Youra-noona gasped as I knelt on one knee. She saw an object sticking from the side of my stomach. I turned to Dahyun. "Don't cry… okay?"

I collapsed on the floor as I started to lose consciousness. The sound of an ambulance blared in the distance. Dahyun was right beside me as she tried to stop the stab wound from bleeding further. I just realized that I was stabbed twice. The second time, I didn't pull out the object since I'd probably bleed out faster. Dahyun was starting to cry her eyes out. "No, oppa. Don't close your eyes. Stay with me."

"Don't cry, princess. Your eyes will get puffy." I joked.

"Don't joke around! I swear! If you die, I'll kill you!" She responded as she took the handkerchief that I wrapped on her wound and started pressing it on one of the stab wounds.

I chuckled lightly. God… it hurts. "How can you kill me… when I'm already… dead?"

She shook her head frantically. "No… you're not dying. Please… don't. Don't leave me... please. Don't leave me."

I slowly lifted my hand to wipe her tear-stained face. "You know… my only regret is…"

"Stop talking. Just focus on me and don't close your eyes." Dahyun stopped me as the medical team arrived.

"My only regret is… not being able to tell you… how much I really love you." I told her before I suddenly lost the strength to move and to speak. The next thing I knew, my surroundings suddenly turned white.
