Broken Hearts and Crystal Tears

Minnie walked to Sehun’s bed. She stood there, then cautiously lifted her hand up to Sehun’s face. She brushed the hair out of his face, and stroked it. “Sehun-ah, I can’t bear to see you here. Thank you so much for rescuing Kai and I.”

~Summer’s POV~
I carried the bouquet of flowers I bought for Sehun and happily skipped to his room in the hospital. As I neared his room, I heard someone talking. I didn’t want to be rude, so I waited by his door. I couldn’t help but listen to what the person was saying.

“Sehun-ah, I can’t bear to see you here. Thank you so much for rescuing Kai and I.”

My eyes widened. It was Minnie talking to Sehun. Minnie, who broke my poor Kai’s heart. How dare she come in and talk to Sehun.

Minnie’s voice continued on. “I know that Kai oppa likes me-” My fists clenched. Why was life so unfair? Minnie spoke again. “But I love you Sehun. I’ve loved you the moment I met you. You are so perfect.”

I heard no response, so I was guessing that Sehun was already asleep. I was mad at Minnie. Mad that someone loved her so dearly, but she loved someone else.

I suddenly realized that I was just like Minnie. Sehun loved me just like Kai loved Minnie, but I chose to love Kai. I was just as bad as a person as Minnie was. I was just like her.

~Minnie’s POV~
My voice trembled. “But I love you Sehun. I’ve loved you the moment I met you. You are so perfect.” I looked at my watch. My time was up. I needed to get back to the SM building.

I was about to leave when I turned around again. Sehun’s face, pale and lifeless, made him look like an angel.

I walked back to his bed. I leaned over him, looking at his mouth. It was so perfect, like a bow. His thin lips shone out to me, and I gently pressed my lips to his.

I smiled, looked at Sehun one last time, and walked out his room, making sure to close his door tightly. I thought I saw a shadow nearby, but it was probably just a nurse cleaning up.

~Summer’s POV~
I heard Minnie’s footsteps getting louder, and I quickly dodged around the corner. She paused for a second, like she saw me, but she left almost immediately after her suspicion.

I sighed a breath of relief, and entered Sehun’s hospital room.

I walked up to Sehun’s motionless body and held his hand. I burst into tears and said, “You’re the kindest person that I have ever met, and you have helped me live through so much. I’m the complete opposite, and I never truly took time to appreciate your concern.” I hiccuped, then continued. “Thank you so much. I will never be able to repay you, and I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry that I cannot return what you have given me.”

I looked at his face, and his chest moving up and down, matching his rhythm of breaths. “I want to like you, Sehun. So I can be there for you at all times when you need me. And not be the stupid, selfish girl I am.” I burst into tears and sat by his bed.

“You’re not selfish nor are you stupid.” A deep voice spoke from the doorway. I lifted my head up. I knew that voice. I dreamed of that voice everyday, and couldn’t stop thinking about that voice.

I turned around slowly. “K-kai? W-what are y-you doing here?” Kai looked at me, his handsome eyes dull and out of life. “I wanted to check on my best friend. He’s only stuck in here because of me. Because I’m the one who’s stupid and selfish.” A tear streaked down his cheek.

I bit my lip. “Uh, Kai oppa?”

“Yes?”

“I’ve been meaning to tell you something.”

“That you like Sehun? Yah, I’ve guessed.”

“No...”

Before I could control myself, I blurted out. “Actually, I like you.”

I inhaled sharply, waiting for his answer.

But there was none.

We stood in awkward silence until he finally said, “S-Summer...I don’t want more broken hearts but…”

“Yeah, I know. You like Minnie, well I guess, love now.” I lowered my head, and let out my breath. I thought that if I told him, it would lift a big burden off my shoulders. But I was wrong.

Although I knew it was coming, I was even more heartbroken that he had admitted he didn’t like me.

Kai coughed. “Uh, Summer, you know. Sehun really likes you. I can tell.”

~Kai’s POV~
It was one of the most awkward minutes as I stood there. I didn’t know what to say, so I just blurted out something that could fill in the silence. “Uh, Summer, you know. Sehun really likes you. I can tell.” I winced at my own directness.

She looked up, with tears in her eyes. “Yah, he told me.” I mentally face palmed myself. “Uh...” I stuttered. “Maybe...you should like him. After all, your stupid and selfish crush...kind of likes someone else.” I laughed bitterly. Stupid and selfish.

She bit her lip, understanding what I meant.

~Summer’s POV~
“Maybe...you should like him. After all, your stupid and selfish crush...kind of likes someone else.” He laughed bitterly. Stupid and selfish? Kai was far from that. He was smart, handsome, sympathetic, nice, and always cared about others.

I bit my lip, understanding what he meant. His point was direct. He basically just said that I didn’t have a single bit of chance with him.

I stood up, leaving the flowers I bought Sehun by his bed side.

I mumbled a “see you,” and I took off to go back to my dorms. What seemed like a happy night had turned into a sad and painful night. I slipped into my car, and drove back to my dorms, too heart broken and hurt to cry.

~Kai’s POV~
Summer left the hospital room, but I still stayed. Sehun looked so calm that I slightly wished that I could sleep for long periods of time too.

“Sehunnie~I know you’re hurting greatly. I’m so sorry, I know I’m the cause of the pain. I see the way you look at Summer when she’s sad. When she’s broken because of me, I see you try to hide the hurt in your eyes. I’m so sorry that I cannot make her happy, only more upset. You have every reason to hate me for making who you love most hurt. I hope we can work this out and one day, you will win her heart and forgive hyung.”

I closed my eyes and sighed. “Hunnie, hyung will try to be here for you.”

I left, and drove back to my dorms.

~Summer’s POV~
I lay on my bed, looking at the ceiling. I closed my eyes. Why was life so complicated? I wish that I had never met Min- No, that wasn’t right. Minnie made up about 90% of my life, if I didn’t have her as my best friend, I’d probably be a homeless person with no life and no friends.

Best friends never could be apart, I realized. Minnie and I were like mirrors, both of us were the same. Both of us couldn’t control our own heartbreaks, and could easily cause others pain with our own selfishness.
