CHAPTER 56

"H-How..." My voice cracked as I shed in tears in front of my friends and family. They tried to comfort me, however, I just ignored them.

"Please leave.." I told to my friends. They all looked at each other first before they decided to leave me alone with my parents.

The four corners of the room fell silent as the door closed when the guys finally left the room. The atmosphere is heavy and I can't bring myself to stay put. The sudden news shocked me and it's hardly to believe it.

My room were filled with my cries at the thoughts of Wonwoo is gone. Forever.

"What.. h-happened.." My voice cracked as I speak

"The Police told me he was hit by a stray bullet in the chest as he was heading back to the hospital, and that's the reason for his death..." Mom carefully explained to me what happened, afraid of what I might I react.

"And.. and.." I lifted my head up to look at my Mom. She was hesitant to tell me something, however, I waited until she decided to tell what's bothering her.

She pulled something inside of her bag and it revealed a small red box before handing it to me. Staring at the box for about a seconds, I decided to accept it.

"T-They saw that on Wonwoo's hand.. and I think he meant that to give it to you.." The small box on my hand got stained by his blood, however, I can't stop myself from being curious so I opened it to see what's the content inside.

To my shock, another tear left my eyes when I saw a ring with my name engraved on the it. There's a small paper besides it and when I opened the paper, it's Wonwoo's hand written and it say; Will you marry me?

The little box I was holding fell off because of the sudden weakness I felt at those the moment after I read whatwas written on the paper. Wonwoo.. Wonwoo was planning to propose to me.. and.. fuck..

That's when I finally broke down into tears and cried harder before Mom put me in her arms. I hugged her back as I stained her clothes with my tears until it became a darker color. I just cried and cried while holding the paper and ring I took from the box.

My body was so weak that I could no longer think straight. All I wanted in those moments was the person I could cry for, and mommy was there to do that.

A few minutes passed before I stopped crying. Mom wiped the tears from my face and smiled slightly at me.

"M-May.. I s-see him?" My voice stuttered when I asked. She bit her lower lip before nodding her head. She looked at behind her and signaled Dad.

***

We are now in the Morgue as Wonwoo's body lay in front of me covered with a green sheets. My body was shaking and seemed unwilling to move for a while while I settle my eyes upon him. I told my parents to leave me alone inside for a moment so they are outside now and waiting for me to return.

Bitting my lower lip to prevent myself to burst into tears, my hand reached out from the sheet covering Wonwoo's body and uncover him.

His sleeping face welcomed be. My heart beat faster as when I saw his left hand. He is wearing a ring. It's the same ring to the one he was about to give me. I looked up to the ceiling when my visions became blurry.

I covered the sheets back to his body before I fell down on the cold floor while crying.

I can't forget how he looked after the seconds I saw his face.

He's smiling.

He's smiling as if he's having a good dreams. Even in your last moment, you even managed to smile. What is your reason for smiling? Are you happy because you're.. No.. that can't be true.. or are you happy because you were able to wear that ring even for the last moment and now I'm wearing it, too?

That smile of yours.. It's the same smile you have every time you look at me.. it's the same smile.. so genuine, soft, and happy.. fuck.. why now.. why do you have to leave.. me?

Why you didn't fight to stay alive?!
