Taehyun POV
March 22nd Friday
After school, Taehyun's house (4:34)
7 months and 5 days

Where is it, where is it? I was looking for my sketchbook so that me and Beommie can do some sort of rough draft of our project. "Taehyun, who are you talking to?!" My mom yelled from the stairs.  "No one, mom I'm looking for something!!" I called back. I heard footsteps come up the stairs. "Hi sweetie, you father called" my mom said as she sat on my bed. I groaned and rolled my eyes as I kept searching for my book. "What does that jerk want?" I asked. "He said you're dating a boy," she said.

She knew I liked guys but I didn't like talking about it to her. "No, that dumbass just doesn't know the difference between friendship and relationships"  she sighed and looked at me. "Alright sweets but why was he here?" She asked. "Oh he was feeling down so I invited him over to make him feel better" I said.

She smiled. "Really?" Such a good friend you are Hyunnie" she said. "Mom" I whined. "I'm not 5 anymore" I said looking through my desk. My mom laughed. "But you're my baby," she said. "Fine," I replied.

"Do you know where my sketchbook is mom?" I asked. "Mhm you left it on the kitchen counter"she said. Oh right that's where it is. "Thanks mom *mwah* I love you mom" I went downstairs to grab my book and put my shoes on. "I love you too Hyunnie, be back by 7 for dinner" she said heading to her room. "Ok mom" I said and ran out the door.

Maybe there I'll ask  him why he seemed so down today.

School (10:25)

"Hey Beommie" I smiled. "Hey Tae" he said. Huh? What happened to him? He looked so tired and had eyebags. His posture was different then usual. "Are you ok Beommie? You don't look so good" I said. I'm gonna admit, I was kinda concerned because guys like him don't act like that but also I don't really pay much attention to it other than Kai. "Yea I'm fine I just had a bad dream, I don't wanna talk about it" he said.

Present time (4:47)
Park
Alright where is... he? I ran towards him as fast as I could. "Beomgyu look at me, what's wrong?" I cupped his face worth my hands and whipped his tears away.

What happened? "Beommie tell me what's wrong" And in uncomfortable tears and sobs he only let out two words I never wanted to hear.

"I'm dying"

Dying? What does mean he's dying? "What?" I said. "I have lung cancer, I never went out with mom, well I did but it was to the hospital so I could get checked. And I-" he choked on his words. "I'm worse and I don't have a lot of time" I couldn't believe what I was hearing and hugged him. "I'm scared Taehyun, I don't wanna die" he hugged back turning his hands into fists while holding onto the back of my shirt.

"I don't wanna go" he cried and cried. It was as if only the two left on earth just his big tree and us. "How... How do you have lung cancer?" I asked. He sniffed. "I was born with it, not even Soobin or Yeonjun know," he said. I didn't know how to react but I did know a way to calm him down.

Remember the way you made me feel~
Such young love but
Something in me knew that it was real~
Frozen in my head.

And slowly he stopped crying. Slowly turning his fist into a hug. He softly layed his head on my shoulder as I kept singing.

Our lives were cutting through~
So loud
Memories are playing in my dull mind

He closed his eyes letting the words sink in and turned his head towards me. Giving me a view, a beautiful one. His forest black hair, his eyes closed, his lashes wet from tears. His pink soft lips. It was so beautiful. The warm wind was flowing around us. The blossom petals falling like an ocean wave, slow, soothing.

Ba ba ba~
Everything is grey under the sky~
Wet mascara
Hiding every cloud under smile~
Where there's cameras

The orange sun is shining like a dim flashlight on us. I rested my head on top of his as I kept letting the melody go on. I kept him close to me. His scent, touch, company, it all made my heart flutter.

Pictures I'm living through~
For now
Trying to remember all the good time
Our life's were cutti through~
So loud
Memories are playing in my dull mind

Just like that he had fallen asleep in my arms. That moment when I stared at him. I knew it from then. It didn't matter whether it was only two days, 48 hours, 36,000 minutes. I knew the second, the moment.

Hoping that you won't forget~

I had a crush on Choi Beomgyu.

I rested my back against the tree with Beomgyu still in my arms. His warmth was all I needed, wanted. I began to softly cry. It was wrong. It wasn't fair. I liked a boy that  might be gone at the drop of a hat. "Please" I whispered. "Please give him a bit more time, that's all I ask of you" I cried.

I'll be alright~

Warm tears only came out of my eyes. From sadness to joy. No wonder you were different then other people to me. It was you all along Beomgyu wasn't it. You're the one meant to find, to love, to care, just for you. I smiled to myself. I guess Kai was right.

Trying to remember all the good times
Our lives were cutting through~
So loud
Memories are playing in my dull mind

When he does pass. Don't let him suffer. Let him go peacefully. Let him pass under the sunset. Let him admire the world one like time.

Don't think I would just forget about it~
Hoping that you won't forget~

I looked up at the amusement park that was close to the area. All you could see above the big trees was the Farris wheel in the blue and white coloured sears. Beside it was the colour canvas or pink, yellow, orange and red.

Please...
