K-pop Idol Imagines - Chapter 38: Chapter 38

Y/N L/N.
A person who was born unlucky or as she thought so.
At an early age, her parents died in a sudden car crash, leaving her alone with her little brother, Beomgyu. He was very little to even care about the fact that he would not see his parents anymore and Y/N had to take care of him.
She didn't want him to feel any kind of emptiness in his life.
However, Y/N always felt that she was star-crossed, she thought that she might've done something right in her life for once.
Because she found a girl, beautiful and sweet. Who she loved with all her heart and decided to dedicate all her life to her.
It was none other than her boss, the CEO of Kang Enterprises, Kang Seulgi.
Four years ago, when Y/N was almost on the brink of suiciding due to hellish circumstances, Seulgi caught her from falling and told her that she would love her till death do them apart.
"I love you, Y/N."
"I love you too, Seul."
For them, affection was the most intimate part of their relationship. Y/N didn't like to show any type of fondness when they were at work. The company didn't know that they both were in a relationship, they didn't have to know about that.
Seulgi understood her feelings, knowing what Y/N had gone through.
One fine day, Y/N was doing her regular work, as she always did. Scheduling her girlfriend slash boss at the moment, meetings, and any other things she would need that day.
One thing that I forgot to tell you was that Y/N was a young and startlingly beautiful woman. She wasn't aware of it, but wherever she went, she caught the eyes of many passersby and people.
So, one of the fellow employees, who was stricken by her beauty, went up to her and started a conversation. Y/N being the generous person, whole-heartedly engaged in the talk and smiled whenever she needed to.
"You look undeniably pretty today, Miss L/N, "the man complimented.
Y/N looked up from her papers, gave him a subtle nod with a small smile, replying, "Thank you, Ryan. You look charming too."
Ryan, the employee, leaned forward, trying to convey his interest in her, and slicked his hair back, saying, "I'm having a party this weekend. I'd be delighted if you come."
"No, Ryan. I'm sorry, but I am very busy this whole week to even get up from my desk, "Y/N said while clicking some buttons on her laptop, entering the data.
"Oh come on, Y/N--"
"Ryan Tuffin!" a high-pitched voice shouted which Y/N knew all too well.
All the people who were around stood up with fear and looked at the scene unfolding before their eyes.
"Miss Kang!" Ryan said, eyes wide and jaw slack.
Seulgi walked forward as her heels clicked loudly against the marble floor. Her fist clenched to her sides and her eyes gave Ryan a deathly glare which scared Y/N too.
Ryan immediately bowed to her and stood straight with a polite smile, saying, "Good morning, Miss Kang."
"Good morning, my foot!" she growled slowly at him. "I don't want to see you slacking off again. Get back to work, right now!"
Ryan, scared, rushed with all he had back to his table, leaving Seulgi facing Y/N.
"M-Miss Kang--"
"I want you in my office. Now, "she ordered and Y/N gulped heavily before picking up her papers and tablet.
Reaching the office, Seulgi shut the door behind them and looked at Y/N with angry eyes. Her jaw clenched and her hands behind her back.
"What was happening out there, Y/N?" she asked.
Y/N shuddered at the way her name slipped through Seulgi's mouth. It sounded venomous. She shook her head slightly and replied, "Nothing, Miss Kang. I was working and Ryan was talking to me."
Seulgi stepped into her personal space and glared down at her, asking, "Talking or flirting?"
Y/N's eyes widened at her question and she replied, "I-I didn't flirt with him, Miss Kang. I swear--"
"Well, you looked like you were enjoying it though, Y/N, "Seulgi's hand cupped her jaw a little harshly causing Y/N to wince slightly.
"I-I didn't, Miss Kang. Believe me, "Y/N tried to convince Seulgi, but she looked far away from being consoled.
Seulgi moved apart from her and turned around, looking at her desk as she heaved slightly. Y/N who was caressing her abused jaw, stepped forward to talk to her girlfriend but stopped when Seulgi said.
"Go home, "she said firmly.
"But, the work--"
"I said, go home, Y/N."
And poor Y/N didn't have any choice but to agree to her boss. She picked up her things and went to take a taxi to their home.
∘₊✧──────✧₊∘
Seulgi reached their home a little later than usual. However, she found out that Y/N wasn't home when she told her to. Anger started to boil up inside her and she decided to wait for her girlfriend and see what she had been up to.
1 AM, but no sign of Y/N.
And then after another hour, it was 2 AM, Seulgi looked at the front door and saw that Y/N still wasn't home.
"Where the fuck are you at this time?" Seulgi mumbled through her gritted teeth while looking down at her smartwatch.
Finally, after waiting for more than fifteen minutes, the front door opened and Y/N entered through, looking fine. Like nothing happened or she did anything.
Seulgi stood up and Y/N looked up with a smile which dropped when she saw the dark look on her girlfriend's face.
"Seul--"
Seulgi yanked her forward and pinned her against the nearby wall, brutally.
Y/N squirmed and groaned at the impact as she closed her eyes in pain. Her back was aching with discomfort. The next thing she felt was Seulgi's hand gripping her bicep tightly and her other hand holding her jaw.
Making her look at her.
"Where the fuck were you at two in the morning, my love?" Seulgi asked, or rather demanded.
Y/N looked at her through glistened eyes as her jaw was hurting from her ministrations. She furrowed her brows and tried to reply.
"I-I was at Beomgyu... H-He wanted to s-see me."
Seulgi, whose eyes felt like they were boring holes through her sole, didn't look convinced a bit with her generic excuse.
"Is this the time to come home, my love?" Seulgi asked, her breath almost brushing against her lips causing Y/N to tremble in her grip.
"I-I--"
But, Seulgi left her there to catch her breath as she ascended upstairs to their bedroom. Y/N decided to worry about her injuries later on and hurriedly followed her to the room, but when she reached there she found out that apparently, Seulgi had locked her outside.
"Seul. Baby, please open the door, "Y/N said while knocking on the door, but came no answer.
Persuading herself that Seulgi needed some time alone, Y/N decided to sleep on the couch in the living room for the night.
∘₊✧──────✧₊∘
The next morning, Y/N woke up to the sounds of utensils clinking against each other. She yawned while rubbing her eyes and stood up to see Seulgi already dressed up and eating her breakfast.
She also noticed the luggage bag beside her and furrowed her brows in perplexion.
"Baby, you're going somewhere?" Y/N asked, walking up to her.
Seulgi finished eating her omelet, wiped off the corner of her mouth, and stood up after drinking up her fresh orange juice.
"Dad invited me to the business summit in Busan this Friday. He wanted me to lead the meeting with the investors, "she informed while looking down at her smartwatch.
Y/N, who felt utterly happy about her girlfriend's announcement, asked, "Should I come too? I want to help you at the summit too!"
Seulgi looked at her with a grim expression and replied, "Unfortunately, no. Dad's secretary would be there to guide us and you need to look at the company here."
Y/N frowned a little at her denial but smiled nonetheless. She stepped forward and slid her arms around her waist and pulled the girl into a hug.
"I wish you succeed to woo the investors, Seul, "Y/N pulled apart and gave her her brightest smile at which Seulgi gave her a tight-lipped, lopsided smile in return.
"Thanks."
"No problem, baby, "Y/N said and leaned to kiss her, wishing to make it last longer but Seulgi pulled apart in between before she could get deeper.
"I should go. Driver must be here, "Seulgi said and picked up her bag.
Y/N's heart dropped at her actions, but being the supportive girlfriend she was, helped Seulgi with the rest of the bags and waved her goodbye.
"Take care, "she said.
Seulgi just gave her a nod and rolled up her black-tinted window as the driver drove ahead. Y/N's ear longed to hear the words Seulgi always told her before going anywhere without her, but this time she just wished that Seulgi would return in a happy mood.
"I hope everything goes well..."
Coming inside the house, Y/N decided to get showered and finish up the rest of the work that Seulgi gave her for the week.
"She'd be happy to see everything alright and well-managed, "Y/N muttered to herself as the thought of her girlfriend's bubbly smile made her heart giddy with excitement.
Devoting herself to the work completely, Y/N was engrossed. She didn't even stand up to take a break. However, she had to pull away when a call disturbed her in between.
She looked at the phone and smiled at the name of the caller. It was Seulgi's beloved sister.
Answering the phone, Y/N said, "Hello?"
"Hey, Y/N. I just wanted to know where Seulgi is. Is she with you?" The question threw her off and she immediately left her work and stood up hastily.
"Why? Shouldn't she be with you?" Y/N asked, unsure.
"Yes, she should be. But she hasn't even arrived yet. That's why I called you to check if she was with you, "her sister answered.
Y/N got anxious and she asked, "Have you called her?"
"Yes, I did. But she wasn't picking up her phone. Can you try? Maybe she will answer."
"Okay, I'll try."
"Thank you. I'll call you later, "her sister ended the call.
Frantically calling her number, Y/N bit her nails in anxiety. After two to three rings, Seulgi answered, or as she thought so.
"What the hell? Why are you calling again and again?"
It was not Seulgi's voice.
"H-Hello?" Y/N asked again, hoping that she might be hearing things.
"What the fuck do you want girl? Why are you disturbing us?" the woman on the other line rudely asked at which Y/N pulled her phone to look at the screen again.
Seul ❤
It was written clearly, but that wasn't her voice. Y/N felt her heart pounding loudly against her ribs and she took in a deep breath.
"I--"
And then she heard the voice she was all too familiar with.
"Who is it, sweetheart?"
The next thing Y/N did was end the call. She knew her heart was shattering inside, but she didn't react. Didn't cry or laugh. She stayed silent.
Finally realizing that she was seriously ill-fated in her life.
Wanting to convince herself that she might be dreaming, she packed up her bags and went away from the house in the meantime. She stayed at her brother's house, lying that she got bored living alone.
However, Beomgyu was the smartest of them all.
He coaxed his sister to speak the truth and Y/N did. Crashing in his arms and crying out all the truth and happenings of the past week, she sobbed continuously.
"I'll not spare her. How dare she!" Beomgyu shouted while stroking his hand through Y/N's hair, trying to calm his sister down.
Y/N held onto him for dear life and buried her head deep into his chest, trying to cover up the warmth she used to feel from Seulgi before.
The next few days went like that. Y/N cried while thinking of Seulgi and didn't come out of her room for the whole day. Sulking and cornering herself again like she used to do before Suelgi came into her life.
When she had depression.
∘₊✧──────✧₊∘
Seulgi came home after more than one week.
She immediately opened the door and was greeted by an utterly quiet house with no lights on. She squinted her eyes to look through the house and shouted.
"Y/N? Love? I'm home!"
But, she was answered by silence.
Keeping her bags in her room, Seulgi pulled out her phone and dialed her number. But, no one answered the call. She panicked a little at that and decided to think about where she would be.
"At her brother's?" she mumbled out and immediately took her car keys.
Rushing through the traffic, Seulgi reached the house where Beomgyu lived and noticed that there were a few other cars parked outside. Wondering what was the reason for that, she walked up to the front door and rang the bell.
After a few moments, the door flew open and there stood a teary-eyed Beomgyu, with his hair tousled and his black blazer out of place.
"Hey, Beomgyu... What happened? You look--"
"What are you doing here?" Beomgyu's deep voice startled her a little as she stepped back a little.
"I wanted to see Y/N. She isn't home, "Seulgi replied in her most calming voice and gave him a subtle nod.
"Oh, so you remember that you had a girlfriend, huh?" Beomgyu asked, more like grunting.
Seulgi raised her eyebrows in amusement and said, "Of course, I do. And I love her too--"
At that, Beomgyu almost pounced on her with his fists tightly clenched but was held back by someone from behind.
"You don't love her! You fucking cheated on her!" Beomgyu shouted as tears started to spill out of his eyes, leaving Seulgi in hysteria.
"What are you talking about--"
"You left her alone! You left her when she needed you the most, you--"
"Beom! That's enough!" the man shouted, stopping him from shouting out further.
Seulgi, who looked bewildered and perplexed, asked, "Where is Y/N?"
"Why do you care?!" Beomgyu yelled.
Seulgi got a little annoyed at his out-of-the-blue behavior and replied, "Beomgyu, look, I don't know why you are acting like a maniac. But, I'm here to take Y/N back home. I'm sorry for any misunderstanding, but I think you should leave this to us to resolve. This is our matter."
Beomgyu stared at her for a few moments and then shrugged off the arms of the man holding him and said, "Let's go to her then."
Seulgi sighed, finally being able to convince him, and replied, "Surely. Thank you."
Getting in his car, Seulgi thought to herself how he knew about the incident that happened a week ago. What happened here and why was everything so eerily weird?
After thirty minutes of the ride, Seulgi noticed that the car stopped in front of a cemetery and suddenly heart skipped a beat.
"Why are we here?" she asked and Beomgyu just stepped out of the car.
Seulgi looked at him going inside the cemetery and she unbuckled herself before running out of the car and following him.
"Beomgyu! Hey, why are we--"
Suddenly, her whole world stopped and she felt her heart dropping down as she felt breathless at the moment.
There stood the Beomgyu while looking down at a tombstone with none other than Y/N's name on it.
She skidded forward and kneeled in front of the tombstone as her eyes welled up immediately. Seulgi couldn't decipher how that happened. How was it even possible?
How could Y/N die?
"When she found out you cheated on her, she broke down, "Beomgyu said, his voice deep and gravelly.
"She came to my house and told me everything, but never blamed it on you. She said that everything that was happening to her was because she was unfortunate, not because you did so."
Seulgi's hand came to rest on the stone and fingers grazed across her girlfriend's name carved into it.
"Her depression came back, "he said as his voice cracked at the end. "She wouldn't come out of her room for days and wouldn't eat too. I was worried that she would starve herself like that."
Tears were now continuously spilling out of her eyes as she bit her lower lip to control the sobs. She stared down at the ground while clenching her fists.
"Two days before... she committed suicide, "Beomgyu said and he sniffled while wiping the tears off his cheek.
Seulgi instantly looked at him with wide, red eyes and blurted out, "What?"
Beomgyu glanced at her before continuing, "She... hung herself. I took her to the doctor, hoping they would save her... But, she was already gone."
Seulgi turned her head around and stared at the tombstone with sorrow and a wistful heart.
"She left this... for you, "Beomgyu said and Seulgi stood up, walking near him.
He handed her a small white box and a neatly folded paper with it. Seulgi took it and instantly opened the box, just to cover her mouth with her hand and cry again.
It was a platinum ring with her name carved on it.
"Oh my god..." she breathily said and Beomgyu patted her shoulder before turning around to leave.
Seulgi looked around and dropped down on her knees with distant expressions. She looked at the tombstone and then opened the paper that was with it.
Hey, Seul.
Don't worry, it's not your fault that I'm in front of you like this. It's my life that is against me. I love you and I hope you did too.
Yours,
Y/N
