Jin's POV

'I can't lose her. Not again.'

After our small talk, I headed to the Crystal's dorm. I'll ask if y/n is now okay.

As I was about to enter BigHit, I passed by a familiar face. I narrowed my eyes and eventually, I recognized it was Sehun.

"Oh? Yah, Sehun-ah." I approached. He then faced my direction.

"Ahh, Jin-hyung. Annyeong." And he bowed.

"What brings you here?" I asked politely.

"Ahh, ahahaha, ameugopteo aniya (it's nothing) I just visited someone here." He softly mumbled which was a bummer because I didn't hear it clearly, but I don't want to meddle with other's life, so it's fine.

"Arasseo, annyeong." Then I patted his shoulder goodbye.

***Crystal's Practice Room***

"Eh? Oh, mianhada, Jin-oppa, but y/n's still not well, she's still inside our dorm probably sleeping." Sunmi said.

"Oh, jinjjayo? Eysh, tsk tsk. Oh, don't worry, I'll just visit her."

"Ne, oppa, hajiman... We're still working on our new choreo, mian, nobody can accompany you." She said as she scratched her head.

"Ahahaha, it's okay, I can manage."

"Arasseo oppa, annyeong."

"Jalgayo."

So I went straight to their dorm.

'Why do I suddenly feel something's up...'

I said to myself, nervously walking towards their dorm.

As I entered, I was greeted by darkness.

"Y/n? Are you here?" I tried to call.

With hands searching for the light switch, I tried to look through the dark for any sign of her.

"Jagi-ah?" I called once again, but there was no response.

Successfully finding the switch, I turned on the lights, only to see her down the floor.

"Y/n-ah!" Shouted and immediately went near her.

Fuck, she's burning hot!

"Eottoke... Shit." I cursed under my breath and carried her back to her room.

"Y/n-ah, what the heck happened to you..." I was probably mumbling all the curses I've known.

I fixed her position and made sure it was more comfortable, I then  lowered the aircon's temperature.

"B-baekhyun-oppa.....?" The moment I heard her voice calling out his name, I mentally cursed.

She...

She's dreaming of him...

She's dreaming of him instead of me...

I turned back to see her face. She looks troubled and about to cry.

'What does this mean, y/n?'

"Jagi-ah..." I softly combed a part of her hair and kissed her forehead.

"Hmm, Jin-oppa..." She mumbled and smiled innocently.

A small laugh escaped my mouth with her gesture.

She's damn cute.

"Hang in there, jagi-ah." I said and saw the basin with towel by her side table.

I grabbed the towel and squeezed the water out before putting it on her forehead, and repeated the cycle on and on.

"Oppa.... Saranghae.... Jinjjayo...."

I froze at her words.

I know she was still sleeping, but to whom does she refer?

It's making me realize things that I should have realized sooner.

Was it really for me?

Or was it for someone else?

I sighed and squeezed her hand.

"Jagi-ah, you're making me nervous. But I won't give up on you. As long as you won't give up on me too."

I paused a bit and kissed her hand.

"It's a promise."

Y/N's POV

~~~Y/N's Dream~~~

Where am I? What is this place? Why is everything so... dark???

"Hello?"

I faintly said as it echoed several times.

"Can someone please Tell me where am I???"

I asked, making my voice a bit louder.

"Jagi-ah!"

When I turned around, Jin-oppa???

"Oppa! Where are we? I-I'm scared..."

I ran to him and attempted to hug him but...

Why did I went through??!

"O-oppa? Why can't I hug you??"

All he did was to smile. What's the meaning of this?!

"Gwaenchanha jagi-ah." (that's all right, honey.)

"Huh? It's not!"

"Hug me again."

And I did. But, once again, I went through him.

I tried again.

And again.

And again.

And again.

And again.

I kept trying again and again but the same thing still happens.

Why can't I feel you oppa???

"Jagi?"

I turned to him, eyes full of tears and frustration.

"One last time. Run to me."

I stood straight, frozen because of his words.

Why did it feel so wrong?

So sad?

Like he was really saying goodbye?

Like he was asking for my attention for the last time?

I couldn't think straight. I just ran into his direction,

Only to pass right through him again,

And fall into a deep pit.

"AAAAAAHHHHH!!!"

All I can do is shout.

I kept falling, and falling, and falling.

I thought it was the end of me.

My eyes were closed and tears were still falling.

But instead of feeling my body, hit the floor, I felt like I was being lifted by someone.

When I opened my eyes,

"B-baekhyun-oppa.....?"

Why is he here? And why am I in the middle of a garden?

"Ne y/n-ah, wae? Gwaenchanhayo?" (Yes y/n, why? Are you all right?)

He slowly let me stand on my feet. I felt the ground, I was barefooted, and in a white dress.

"N-ne... Where is..."

I roamed my eyes to find him.

"Y/n-ah, are you looking for me?"

"Hmmm, Jin-oppa..." I smiled at the sight of him.

He went closer to where Baekhyun and I were standing, held my hand and let out a single tear.

"J-jagi-ah..."

"W-waegureyo?? (What's wrong) Why are you crying oppa?"

I couldn't help but touch both his cheeks.

"Y-you're not-- we're not meant to be..."

"M-mwo? Hah- What are you saying???"

"Y/n-ah, you need to believe in me."

"Oppa.... Saranghae.... Jinjjayo...."

"Listen, y/n, nado saranghae... It's just that--"

I couldn't here him anymore because of the church bells ringing.

Then everything was back to black.

In a split second, the garden where we were standing were filled with people,

There was a priest,

Flower girls,

A ring bearer,

No doubt, this is a WEDDING...

But whose?

"Y/n-ah?"

I looked at the man in front of me...

His whole face was all blurry but...

This voice...

It's so familiar...

It belongs to someone I know so well...

"Say yes y/n-ah!"

A voice in my head said.

"W-what?"

"Y/n-ah!"

My head was filled with voices once again.

"Y/n-ah!"

"Y/n-ah!"

"Y/n-ah!"

"Y/n-ah!"

"Y/n-ah!"

"WAKE UP Y/N-AH!"

I woke up with the sound of Jihyun-unnie's yell. I opened my eyes to see all my unnies looking worriedly at me.

Wait...

What happened?

"U-unnie..."

"Oh thank God you're awake." Sansan unnie fanned herself.

"How long was I out?"

"A day and a half." Ah Rin-unnie said.

"Jin-oppa just left an hour ago." Sunmi-unnie said pointing at the door.

"Then we are having our lunch and you started to mumble shits!" Jackie-unnie blabbled, which caused everyone to eye her. She only covered her mouth and made a 'peace' sign.

I...

It was all a dream?

"How are you feeling, maknae-ah? Better? It seems that your fever's gone now." Kira-unnie went beside me and touched my forehead.

"Ah, ne..."

"Y/n-ah, we'll leave you for now. You should eat, arasseo? Then after finishing this soup, you can join us discuss for the songs." Jihyun-unnie carefully place a soup on my bedside table.

"Yeah! We're celebrating our 2nd Anniversary as Crystal with Sparkles!" Sansan-unnie exclaimed and everyone in the room chuckled excitedly.

"Arasseo unnies, kamsahamnida." I bowed a bit as a sign of gratitude and they all went out.

I am left with confusion.

I couldn't even pay attention to the soup.

All that occupied my mind was the dream.

Did it mean something?

If yes,

THEN WHAT DID IT MEAN?

***

"Okay so tomorrow's the big day guys!"

"YEAAAHH!!!"

So here we are, at a photoshoot because tomorrow's our 2nd anniversary as a group.

Our venue for the photoshoot is at a school's large gymnasium filled with sports apparel.

So we started shooting our solo ones.

Oldest to youngest so it was like:

Jihyun-unnie

Jackie-unnie

Kira-unnie

Sansan-unnie

Sunmi-unnie

Saeron-unnie

And lastly, me

First, Jihyun-unnie. She was dressed like a tennis player, ready to hit the ball.

"Wahh, Jihyun-unnie's daebak!" I said and the others nodded in agreement.

Next was Jackie-unnie, who sported a golf player's attire.

"Omo! It fits her!" When Jackie-unnie heard this, she smiled brightly on the camera and winked. Wahhh unnie's jjang!

The third one was Kira-unnie, who's outfit was for a volleyball player.

"Aigoo, kyeopta..."

Sansan-unnie was wearing a cheerleader's attire which perfectly fits her bright personality.

"Unnie gwiyeobnidaaa~" I sang because of her quirkiness.

After her was Sunmi-unnie, who came out of the dressing room on a taekwondo outfit.

"Woah... Unnie looks so fierce." Suddenly, she balled her fists and performed a high kick and all of us applauded.

Now, it was Saeron-unnie's turn. She was wearing a gym outfit, ready to exercise type of attire while she lifted a dumbbell.

"Yipeeee, uri second maknae's sexy! Aigoo, she's not a baby anymore." I heard Jihyun-unnie coo.

And at last, my turn finally came. As I came out of the dressing room, my unnies squealed.

"Waaahh maknae gwiyeobnida!!" (You're so cute maknae!)

"Aigoo." I just covered my face in embarrassment.

The sports outfit given to me was of a gymnast. Blue and stylish.

They started shooting me in different angles. I tried to pose like a gymnast too wahaha but as usual, I failed and ended up laughing.

"Waahh, you're so natural y/n-ssi" Manager Kim said after handing me a water bottle after my solo shoot.

"Aigoo, I embarrassed myself in front of the camera Manager-nim!" I pouted.

"Aniyo! The seven of us were really great, but you were daebak!" Saeron swooned as she crushed me in a very big bear hug.

"Awie I'll just hope it wasn't as bad as I think it is."

"I agree! Omo, that kick was really ridiculous why did I even think of doing that?!" Sunmi-unnie panicked.

And we all laughed together.

*nom nom nom nom nom nom nom*--

Oh? Who's calling me?

"Yobeoseyo?" I greeted as soon as I answered the call.

"Y/N-AAAAAAAAH!!!"

Two shrieking voices met my ear which made me startled and ALMOST drop my phone.

"Aish jinjja... Do you two really have to shout?!" I angrily shot back.

"Hehe... Mianhae y/n-ah. We miss you so much!" Cole

"Yes yes! And... advanced happy birthday to Crystal!" Zelle

Yes. It's the two idiots in my life. Zelle and Cole. I'm surprised these two are still together and best friends.

"Waaaah! Kamsahaeyo girls!"

I  distanced myself a bit to hear their voices well.

"Oh, me and Cole will watch you on TV!"

If me and Zelle are the same age, Cole's one year younger. She's our little puff ball.

"Arasseo, annyeong! We'll be busy for the day."

"Okay y/n-ah! Sugohaseyo! Byyee~" then they dropped the phone call. (You have worked hard)

"Okay girls! Let's shoot you all together now!" Manager-nim called so I immediately reacted.

"Ne!" We said all at once.

The next day was a roller coaster ride for all of us. People were busy preparing for our anniversary performance. I just hope BTS, EXO, BLACKPINK, and ASTRO could watch us. Aigoo, I have grown attached to these people!

"Guys, look at the Sparkles' posts!" Sansan-unnie.

"Omo! They're celebrating too." Kira-unnie.

"Ne! Wahh they really put a lot of effort." Jihyun-unnie.

"Crystal, you're on standby!" A staff said so the seven of us gathered in a circle and recited our chant.

"Let's do this! for Crystal! For Sparkle! Let's shine bright under the stages' spotlights!

"And now for their anniversary performance, let us all welcome Crystal!" The emcee from the stage.

All right, I got this!
