BETELGEUSE

CHAPTER 20

It was 15 July. Sky was sitting on the stairs when K.Shine appeared. He waved at Sky and asked by signals that is it ok if he came and sit with him. Sky did not feel like he was nervous, so he nodded for yes. It was about 3 am. Everyone was sleeping.

K.Shine: "Why are you sitting here?"

Sky: "15 July is the day in which all the important things happened with me."

K.Shine: "Good or bad?"

Sky: "Obviously bad."

K.Shine: "But it seems like today it is not going to be bad."

Sky: "I will be surprised."

K.Shine: "Come with me. I want to show you something."

Sky: "What do you want to show?"

K.Shine: "Just get up."

(Sky stood up. K.Shine grabbed his handK.Shine: "Come with me."

(Sky followed him. He took him to the basement.)

Sky: "What do you want to show me here?"

K.Shine: "I want to tell you something."

Sky: "What?" (raised eyebrows)

K.Shine: "Sky, I like you. I want you to marry me. I will take you away from this place. Believe me." (With every sentence, Sky was moving back until he touched the wall. He was very shocked. K.Shine came close to him. He pinned him to the wall and bent to kiss him. He was about to touch his lips when Sky pushed him back and ran outside. K.Shine ran after him.)

K.Shine: "Sky, listen. Listen to me."

(K.Shine grabbed his hand.)

Sky: "Don't—don't touch me."

K.Shine: "What happened?"Sky: "Nothing. Just don't touch me."

K.Shine: "At least tell me what is the reason behind your hatred."

Sky: "I said it's nothing."

K.Shine: "Plz! Tell me. If there are flaws in me, then tell me. I will try to change myself."

Sky: "You don't have any problem in you. The problem is in me."

K.Shine: "What? I don't think there is any problem."

Sky: "No, I have. I don't want to make anyone close to me. Cuz whenever I had loved someone, they died or they betrayed me. Plz, Kim Shine. Plz."

K.Shine: "Believe me. I will never betray you."Sky: "I had trusted someone before, but he only made me suffer. I know that you will never betray me, but plz." (Sky went towards his room and returned after 2 minutes with his bag.)

Sky: "I am going outside. Don't dare to follow me."

K.Shine: "But where are you going? It is cold outside. You will get cold."

Sky: "Don't come after me."

K.Shine: "At least tell me where are you going."

Sky: "I will be back. Don't get worried." (After saying this, he left. K.Shine stood there for some minutes, but then he ran behind Sky. But when he came outside, Sky had already went.)

Sky: 15 July is the day in which all the important things happened to me.

—? Good or bad?

Sky: Obviously bad.(Someone whispered in his ears. A snowflake dropped on his head. On the other hand, Sky was walking on the road aimlessly. Thinking about Kim Shine, whatever he said, whatever he did, he was unable to take that out of his mind.)

Kimshine: I like you.

(The time when Sujin proposed to him. The time when John gave him chocolates.)

John: I will always protect you, Sky.

John: Sky, she is my wife.

Sujin: Sky, you are my life.

Sujin: Sky, she is Jenner, my wife.

(Sky sat down on the road and grabbedhis hairs with his hands. After sitting there for some time, he stood up and started to run.

On the other hand, K.Shine went to John and asked him if Sky was with him. But he refused. So, Kim Shine asked for his help, and they both started to look for Sky.

Sky stopped in front of a huge building. It was looking like a school. His eyes were all red, and his head was bleeding because he had pushed his hairs harshly. He entered the school through the back door and straightly went to the roof via the stairs. All the times were going in his mind that he spent with John, Sujin, and Kim Shine. After he reached the roof, he rushed towards the boundaries. He looked down and stood on there.

Sky: "I am sorry, Kim Shine. I know you love me, but I can't. Bye."

And he jumped from the roof. When he hit the ground, everything went black and never became white. By the time when Kim Shine and John came, Sky was already dead.
