A Final Prank That Goes Up in Flames Chapter 9
"All these years, I cared for you so much that I was willing to bend over backward for you. Yet, every time you turned my pain into a joke, you reopened old wounds. After that, there was no future left for us."My voice was calm, like the way a judge would announce their final verdict.In my previous life, I had loved him more than I loved myself, which led me to let him play the same prank on me over and over again. Eventually, one such prank had resulted in my death.Carl couldn't stop his shoulders from trembling as profound regret and misery crashed over him. There was a light in his red-rimmed eyes that I knew meant he was unwilling to accept the situation."Why can't you give me another chance? Becca, we've been together since we were kids. It hasn't been easy getting to where we are today."Indeed, it hadn't been easy.He was completely unaware, but in my previous life, I had loved him in silence. After I lost my hearing, I had stumbled along behind him, desperate not to l

Half a year later, after enduring treatment session after treatment session, I was finally ready to undergo the surgery.The operation was a resounding success, and at long last, I was able to hear the world with my own ears. I no longer had to hear it through the tinny, mechanical sounds of a hearing aid. Now, the sounds reached me clearly, full of vibrant life.Upon returning home from the hospital, Dad insisted on dragging me off to go on a shopping spree to celebrate.Once we were done shopping, he headed to the underground parking to get the car while I waited for him at an outdoor cafe around the corner, a cup of hot latte cradled in my hands.It was early fall now. A gentle breeze rustled the leaves around me, creating a soft, clear susurration unlike the dull sounds I was used to before."Rebecca Jink?"A hesitant voice spoke up from beside me.When I turned my head, I saw that it was Carl's ex-roommate.Taking a seat opposite me, he stirred his coffee as he began to

After ending the phone call with Joanna, Carl checked his Instagram messages with Rebecca.Their last message was him berating her for being unreasonable.At the time, he hadn't noticed, but now that he was reading through their chat again, he discovered she hadn't sent him a message since the day he took her hearing aid away after learning she was transferring departments.In the past, she had always been all too eager to share everything with him. Even the shape of a cloud above her head was enough for her to contact him.Borrowing his roommate's phone, he went to Rebecca's Instagram account. The brilliant splotches of color blooming across the screen stabbed deep into his eyes.Previously, all of her posts had revolved around him, like them sharing a meal or her accompanying him to his vocal practices. Her love for him had shone through every single one of her posts.Now, however, she was clad in a paint-stained apron, paintbrush in hand as she shot a dazzling smile at the cam

The smile on Aubrey's face vanished as she eyed Joanna intently."Becca was right to break up with you. Having a boyfriend with no sense of boundaries is just asking for trouble. "And you! You claim to be Becca's friend, yet you're always hanging around her boyfriend. How utterly shameless! Stay away from my daughter, you wretches."With that, she mercilessly shut the door in their faces.Carl stumbled back a step, while Joanna burst into loud sobs as though she had suffered a great humiliation."How could Mrs. Jink misunderstand me like that? You and I just share the same interests! They don't know anything! If I had wanted to be with you, we would've gotten together long before this! Rebecca wouldn't even be in the picture!"Carl was silent. In the past, plenty of people had teased him about his relationship with Joanna, but he had merely treated those comments like a joke. He hadn't bothered explaining, nor had he cleared things up.Thinking back on it now, he had actually s

Carl was absolutely floored. How was it that he hadn't known anything about Rebecca wanting to take a leave of absence from school?Hastily pulling out his phone, he called her, yet not a single call went through. Belatedly, he realized that he had been blocked.He stood in the corridor of the administrative building with the hot sun blazing down on him, yet all he felt was an overwhelming coldness spreading through his body.Was Rebecca upset at him? Did she blame him for forcing her to go diving and causing her to injure her ears? Or could it be that she blamed him for always taking her hearing aid away from her?At that moment, Joanna skipped over and patted Carl on the shoulder."What are you doing, staring off into space right here?"Carl turned to her and replied in a dazed tone, "Becca blocked my number. Are you able to get in contact with her?" Joanna's eyes flashed briefly at the words. She'd realized the same during the summer holidays, when she stopped being able to

Several days later, it was the summer holidays.My family and Carl's had agreed to spend some time together at the beach.However, when we arrived at the airport, I saw Joanna waiting for us with her luggage. Once we got to the beach, Joanna insisted we go diving.I immediately refused, "I don't want to go diving since it'll be uncomfortable for my ears."In response, Joanna clung to my arm and whined, "Come onnnn, Becca. We're already here, so it would be a waste not to go."Then she leaned closer and whispered in my ear, "Carl told me that he wants to apologize to you and has a surprise waiting for you down there."Carl came over then and took my hand. "Becca, just think of it as spending time with me, okay?"With that, the two didn't give me the chance to refuse a second time, grabbing one arm each and dragging me over to the diving site.The icy seawater shocked my nerves.At first, Carl and the diving instructor kept close to me, one on each side as they led me down.O
