Ryeji Oneshots

For you

She is lying on the bed. Still breathing. Still alive. Her chest is heaving and little snores come out of her just like it always does.

This room is white. Not so many furniture for that it almost empty. There is just this bed, a table with a pair of chair on each side of it and a statue. It also has a big mirror hanged on the wall which I kinda hate to see as I look ugly right now.

"Un-unnie?"

"Yes ddaeng. Hey. Good morning.."

I hug her. Tightly. I dont want to let her go anymore. This warmness. How I miss it. Miss her.

"You killed him?"

Her brown round eyes look at me with such a void. Its empty. Perhaps not everything is perfect in this make-believed world of mine. Her sparkling eyes will never can be recreated by anyone. Clearly not even me.

"Yes, yes. Of course."

I stroke her cheeks that is coated with a slightly pink shades although I can still feel the tears that once wetten it but I choose to ignore it. I will dedicate this time only for her and no one will stand against us.

Not anymore.

"You know I will do anything for you, right?"

Whispers. I whisper those words again through her ears. Those precious words that becomes a lullaby for her every night in our orange room. The only thing that stay constant between us and can be sculptured in many different meanings. It can be sadness, longing and lovely but also can be full of madness, desire and agony.

Depends on who I was whispering to. The monster or her.

"Liar."

My whole body shocken. How can a simple word can make a pumping muscle breaks into a thousand pieces as if it is just a fragile glass all along?

"W-what?"

She cups my face with her tiny hand that seems to loose its heat in the mean time.

"You lied."

Truly, I didnt. I will never did. I will never lie to her. To my own sister. How can I did that?

I have thrown the monster away from her how can she says that after all I have ever done is protecting her from the moment she learned how to walk.

--------------------------

There is a monster inside her. Eversince father put her into that orange room, the monster often take over her. No one else knows it but me. I saw it but I didnt tell anyone about it. Not that they will believe me tho. Assumeably, they will think I am crazy.

The first time I saw the monster is when the first day father throw her into that room.

"Can you do this for me, Yeji?"

She always call me by my name when the monster is the one who talks and I cant help but to tremble everytime my name being called by her. Wondering is it her that is talking or something else.

Because of that day is the first time the monster showed up. I didnt yet know that it is not her so I didnt actually care that much when she asks me for that favour.

"Yes. O-of course."

And she did it. She cut my hair short.

Long story short, my father finds out one day. He comes back from the office early all of a sudden that one day and barged into my room when I was happily playing housedoll with Ryujin.

He always loved my hair. He said that it is a literal resemblance of my late mother and I was happy that I am a copy of my mother. After he came back from his office late at night, I could felt his presence beside my bed. Stroking my hair softly before applying a kiss down to my face. Sometimes on the forehead, another on the cheeks and rarely he will aimed on my lips.
