CHAPTER SIX: HAUNTED BY THE PAST!

MINHO'S POV

...." Have this.." I said as I handed soojin a bottle of water..." Are you sure you don't need to go to a hospital...I mean does this happen to you often?" I asked.." No this was the first time it happened..and I don't need a hospital I'll be okay after some rest." She replied as I sighed and then looked back at her..." Wear this..." I said as I took off my coat and placed it over her shoulders..." It's okay...." She said as she tried to take it off...."Just wear it..." I said....." Hey guys..." Suho said as they approached us with Arin.." Have the guests left?" I asked.." Yah...we have seen them all off...how are you feeling soojin..you had me worried for a second there..." Arin said..." Iam sorry..your dinner got interrupted because of me.." she replied.." It's okay..we had pretty much wrapped up all the important parts..." Arin replied to her.." Well you should head home and have some rest...." She added..." Minho..take soojin home.." Suho suggested..." It's ok..." Soojin tried to decline but I intervened..." OKAY!" I replied as Arin and suho left.

" Let's go.." I said to soojin as she slowly followed behind me....

" Soojin!" I called out softly seeing that she was sleeping peacefully.." Soojin..we have arrived.." I added as she slowly opened her eyes..." oh..sorry.." she said as she quickly unfastened her seat belt..." Thanks for the ride..." She added as she quickly got out and so did I..." Iam fine..you don't need to escort me to my house.." she said..." Look Soojin..I dont know what happened to you today...but it's it's serious then you should get yourself checked....we might not be the closest of friends right now but I do worry about you..." I said as she quietly stared back at me.." Thanks for worrying about me but Iam okay..." She replied..." I'll dry clean the coat and send it to you." She added.." good night." She concluded as she left

....." She said she's fine..so there is no need to call..." I said as I leaned back in my seat.." but then again she could have lied..." I added as I stared at my phone..." Call her!" Some one said startling me..." Call who.." I replied as I switched off my phone.." that was soojins number right..if you worried about her then call her..." Suho said as I laughed nervously.." I wasn't planning on call her..she clearly said she was fine...plus I don't think we close enough anymore for me to call her...." I replied.." let's get back to planning your bachelor's party...what do you have in mind..?" I asked changing the topic.." Well I thought we were having a joint bachelor's and bachelorette party..but then Arin changed plans so Iam a bit lost..." He replied.." Why would Arin suggest having a joint bachelor's and bachelorette party?" I asked.." Probably to keep an eye on me.." he replied as we both chuckled..." Well since that's not the case any more..what are your plans?" I asked.." Well I was thinking us and the guys could go to a club..drink, dance have fun...it's the last day of me being single..so let's go crazy..." He said energetically as we both cheered...

SOOJIN'S POV

..."Okay of anyone finds out that mt idea for a bachelorette party is going to a spa and getting an expensive massage as I sip on a glass of this done wine while watching reading a magazine then they might think Iam the most boring person on earth..." Arin said as I smiled softly..." I don't know..going crazy on such days is overrated..Iam sure you can celebrate your last day of being unmarried in the most simple yet peaceful way.." I replied..." Right..thank you for coming with me anyway...I had initially planned to have a joint bachelor's and bachelorette party with Suho but then I figured I should do this instead...I don't want to make it seem like Iam already keeping an eye on him even before we get married...." She replied.." There is no need to thank me..I needed this as well.." I replied as I sipped more on my glass of wine..." You know when you left..I was devastated....I lost a bestfriend you know..but then I kept the hope that we shall keep In touch regardless but then time went by and we weren't talking anymore and then suddenly I come across this video of you.on the internet and you just look Soo happy...and I was supposed to be happy for you but at the same time I felt a bit sad...I then started to hate you for cutting your self from us....and I thought that of I ever met you again then the first thing I would do was get angry at you..or ignore you but when I saw you yesterday..my first instinct was to hug you....

..." I guess I couldn't get angry at you anymore after I saw you..." Arin said as tears rolled down my cheeks..." Iam really sorry...." I replied.." Iam sorry for being such a jerk..Iam sorry for leaving but Iam even more sorry for not keeping in touch... regardless of what my reasons were....I was still a jerk..." I said..." well Iam glad you know you were...so how do you plan on making it up to me..?" She asked.." Uhmmm I don't know..what do you want me to do?" I asked.." well there is plenty I want you to do but let's start with you making up for all the girls day outs we could have had for the past ten years..." She replied.." all of them?" I asked.." Yap..every single one.." she said as I spread out my hands for a hug.." Why are you crying?" She asked as she hugged me tightly...." Well to my last day of being unmarried and to the reborn of our friendship.." she said as we tossed.

..." I feel relaxed..." Arin said as we got ready to leave the spa.." how about we finish this up at my place..over another bottle of wine and a movie...this could be our first girls night out..." She suggested as I happily agreed but as we left..we received a call.

" Wow...they seem to have been having a blast..." Arin said as we stared at drink Suho and Minho..." I'll go call us a ride..." She said as she turned to leave..." ONE MORE DRINK!!!" Minho yelled abruptly causing me to get startled...

" Make sure to call me after you arrive..Iam just glad we chose to do this a day before the wedding day.. because imagine my groom showing up to our wedding with a hung over..." Arin said as we both chuckled.." I'll leave Minho with you...good bye.." she added as she and Minho got into the taxi and left.

I looked back at Minho and shook my head out of disbelief....." Hey! Minho...let's go.." I said as I tried to lift him up..." Come on.." I added as I continued lifting him...and gladly finally got the both of us into a taxi.

After we arrived, I then fidgeted to drag him to his house... I recalled where the key to his house is always kept, under the vase, just like my granny does ...and With a sense of familiarity, I opened the door and managed to guide him to the couch, with his weight heavily against me..i then proceeded to Pour him some water and then searched for something to cover him with.....

After covering him up...I picked up my bag and turned to leave but was stopped by his grip on my hand..." Don't go..." He mumbled..." Please don't leave..." He added as I looked back at him....

Those words pierced through me, taking me back to the time ten years ago when I made the choice to leave...the image of me seated in the car as Minho chased after it, calling out my name, etched vividly in my mind...." Please.." he said again as I slowly sat back down next to him.....
