case of matthew lee 2/3

A/N What happened to Matthew can be found on the N-CITY Series; News for You, Jisung's story. This is kind of rushed and badly written, so apologies for that. I hate emotional scenes LOL

My love goes out of my heart and into the wind
Out my guitar and under your skin
Into your house and out of your headphones

My love goes out of your door and into the street
Down through the floor and up through your feet
Into your car and out of your radio
That's where my love goes

-Where my love goes, Lawson

It was similar to a dream and I stood beside Matthew who had his hand wrapped around mine, the male tightening his grip before he shuddered. Cold-- He could feel cold now. I was still in a state of shock, telling myself that I had every right to be happy because I could touch him and he was right there in front of me.

As we made our way past the park, my legs froze and stopped walking, Matthew looking back at me in surprise. I blinked, wondering if I should say it or maybe I could act like I was happy because that was what he expected of me.

"What's wrong?"

"Why didn't you tell me?" I blurted out, my hands going into fists. I was frustrated and it was taking all of me to not scream at him. "You should have told me, Matthew. If you told me, I'd be prepared to lose you after 7 days."

He knew what I meant, Matthew's facial expression faltering and I looked away. It was Christmas but in 7 days, it would be New Year and after that-- I would be welcoming the next 365 days without Matthew beside me.

"Bora...," his voice trailed and he sighed, stepping closer before taking my hand. My arms were trembling and he pulled me against his chest once more, his grip tightening. "I made my mind up suddenly."

It had dawned to me that what Kyungsoo said about death was true. It was a cycle but it hurt people who were left behind and I never worried about that because I've always seen spirits. But now that it was Matthew, I didn't know what to feel.

With me buried against his chest under the streetlights, all I could do was close my eyes and tell myself to make the best out of every moment I had with him.

"Why?" I asked suddenly, Matthew looking down at me.

"Why what?"

"Why Free Will? After all this time?"

I knew why. I knew Mark played a big role in making him make his decision.

"Because Bora." Matthew pressed his lips together, sighing. "I rather be solid for seven days then be a ghost for the rest of my life."
