The Seventeenth Letter

Seokim came back the next day. I was sitting on the sofa. My cheeks were wet with tears. I heard Seokmin close the door and walk over to me.

I quickly wiped my cheeks with my sleeve and took a breath. He sat down next to me with a sigh.

"I'm sorry, Soonyoungie..." he muttered and bowed his head.

I also sighed. "Do you have another letter for me!? Can you finally tell me what's wrong with you!?"

"I'm sorry..."

"I don't care! I just wanna know that you are okay, but I know you are not okay... Something's wrong, but I don't know what..."

I took the letter that he was holding in his hand. I opened it and started reading.

Soonyoungie,

I want to apologize for my behavior, but I really can't say. I don't know how to explain it. I don't want to lose you... You've changed my life and... You're all I have... You're my only family...

Sunshine

I looked at him. "Look at me." He did what I said. I smiled at him. "I know it's hard for both, but I want to say I'm here for you and I will be here for you forever. I just... I just wanna know what's wrong with you... Something's wrong, right?"

He nodded and looked away. "I-I'm scared..."

"Why? What's happening?" I put my hand on his. "Please, tell me what's happening..."

"I- I can't..."
