December 12, 2094

"Melissa!"

I rush over to her and hug her tightly. She hugs me tightly as she cries onto my shoulder.

I pat her back, trying to comfort her.

We pull away slowly and she wipes her tears dry.

"Thanks for coming you guys. Please come in."

Jin hands her a bouquet of flowers.

"We're sorry for your loss. We're here if you ever need us."

She deeply sighs and forces a smile.

"I appreciate it."

We all head into the funeral home to the room where Jimin's casket is.

It's an open casket.

I see a photo of Jimin happily with Melissa.

I start to feel a sense of sadness coming onto me. The weight of all these depressing emotions are coming to me. I could see that everyone here was feeling upset. Everyone who knew Jimin knew he was a happy person. No one expected him to take his life.

I knew in high school he was a total jock and a complete jerk. He tried to change after going to college.

Jin grabs my hand to lead me a few feet away from Jimin. He went to his casket first to pay his respects. I wait behind him looking around the room.

I then see one of Melissa's young niece waving towards my direction. I wave back and she continues to wave. She then starts to laugh and covers her face like she's playing Peek-a-boo.

I smile to her and I play Peek-a-boo with her. She then looks up at me with upset eyes and tells me to stop.

I ask,

"What's wrong dear? Am I playing wrong?"

"No! You're messing up my game! I'm not playing with you!"

I brush it off and slightly chuckle.

"Oh, you're playing by yourself?"

She shakes her head.

"No, I'm playing with the nice man next to you!"

She then runs off somewhere, leaving me in the middle of the room.

My heart skipped a beat. I slowly turned my head to see that no one was next to me.

Jin is still giving his respects to Jimin. Everyone else is all around the room, away from me.

I laugh nervously to myself.

"She's a kid. Imaginary friend."

I turn around to see Jin walking away from Jimin's casket.

Jin looks upset and has his head down.

"He was too young to go."

I nod my head and I grab onto Jin's hands.

"He was."

He tries to smile and lightly pushes me to Jimin's casket.

I walk towards it and I get nervous to see his lifeless body. His body is so pale and gray. It was hard to look at.

I put my head down and say my goodbyes.

"Jimin, you were a good person. Always so kind to me. You changed a lot to become a better person. I hope you are at peace."

A tear runs down my face and I force myself not to tear up. I use a finger to wipe it off. When I bring my arm back down, I feel a grip on my wrist.

Jimin's eyes were bloodshot and open widely. His eyes are lifeless and he's looking dead into me. His grip is tight and his hands are extremely cold.

I start to panic and my eyes widen. I start to shake and I am frozen in the moment. He's looking straight at me, not even blinking.

"YOU'RE NEXT!"

I start to scream and I'm pulling away from his deadly grip. I move my arms up to my face and I start to cry for help. I close my eyes, still screaming..

I feel two hands onto the sides of my shoulder shaking me.

"Alice?! Alice!"

I open my eyes to see Jin look at me with concern. He looks surprised and he grips the side of my shoulders tightly.

I'm still tensed up and I look around to see everyone look at me. I then look back to Jimin in the casket to see he had not moved. I then looked back to Jin in the eyes and he still has a worried face.

"Alice are you okay?"

My eyes still widen, I crash into Jin's chest. I start to cry uncontrollably.

Jin holds onto me tightly and leads me outside the funeral home.

I am going crazy.
