Jisung's last gift to you before he died.

When I woke up, I saw Chan sitting at the bedside.

I couldn't help but rub my eyes. Chan hasn't been in this apartment for nearly two months, choosing instead to bask in the presence of those who were better looking. Naturally, I had also distanced myself from this old love, so as not to hinder his view of the beautiful scenery in front of him.

It was unexpected that he would come back to find me.

With my shirt as wrinkled as pickles, I got up in a hurry.

"How come you have time to come here?" As I saw him, I felt slightly awkward.

Chan didn't even lift his head. He opened the recently packed suitcase on my bed and rummaged through the pile of clothing inside.

I had planned to leave today and didn't expect that I would meet him. Might as well, since I wouldn't have to approach him anymore and get misunderstood.

"Why are you packing up? Are you going to travel abroad?" he asked carelessly while rummaging.

His voice sounded neutral. The meaning behind his words might not be clear, but at least he wasn't angry.

I heaved a sigh of relief. I had initially feared that he would get angry and wouldn't let me leave.

I laughed at myself in my heart. Jisung, you think too highly of yourself; he didn't even care about you.

I shook my head. "It's not a vacation trip. I'm leaving."

He stopped rummaging and slowly looked up at me. The corners of his mouth carried traces of a smile. "What did you say? Can you repeat that again?"

I thought he didn't understand, so I repeated myself. "Chan, I want to break up with you and leave."

My words couldn't be any clearer.

The smile on Chan's face slowly faded, and he abruptly hurled the suitcase to the floor. The noise made was so loud that I took a step backwards.

"You want to break up with me?" Chan sneered. "Jisung, what qualifications do you have to say that you want to break up with me?"

I was frightened by his reaction and kept silent.

I had used the wrong word. After all, Jisung was merely a random pet raised by Chan, so how could I be qualified to use the words "break up".

After a while, I whispered, "Please let me go."

I didn't want to complicate matters further, as I didn't have any more time to entangle myself in this love-hate relationship.

Chan glared at me with a look like he wanted to kill and eat me. However, after a moment, he laughed again.

"Oh, Sung, you're employing petty tricks again." He laughed contemptuously. "Do you think that by doing so, I will leave Minho and come back to you?"

He came over, reached out a hand, and stroked my cheek. He then said to me in a low and gentle voice, "Sung, you are still too greedy."

As his fingers slowly entangled into my hair, he lowered his head slightly and moved his face closer to me. "Huh, do you really like me that much?"

The emotions in Chan's eyes were so deep that a person could wallow in it, but at this moment, it was like Medusa's stare, turning my heart piece by piece into dust gravel.

Jisung, how naive must you be to think that this person loved you?

Chan placed his lips close to my ears and said ambiguously with a hint of danger, "Don't ever mention this matter again in the future. If you dare to leave me, I will kill you."
