Last Farewell (A Seokrona AU) - COMPLETED

XIX - Haunting Premonition

Come on, jagi. I think this is the miracle all of us have been waiting for. Most of the people who underwent the treatment gained positive results and we are all hopeful that this one could work on you as well. Jagi, please consider this. We still want to have you around for a longer time.

Rona looked at Seokhoon's pleading face and went silent for about a minute thinking as to whether or not will she accept Seokhoon's proposal.

As much as she wanted to fight and continue to have treatments for her leukemia, Rona knew that her body is way too weak to endure more pain and suffering. Honestly, there were times when Rona just wanted to be gone to end her suffering and pain. That way, her family, friends, and loved ones, especially Seokhoon would not suffer with her and have their much-deserved rest from taking care of her for almost five months. That way, they would also be able to move from her passing faster and quicker and move forward with their lives.

Having this thought in her mind, she decided to decline Seokhoon's offer.

Taking his bigger warm hands into hers, Rona looked at Seokhoon for a moment and bowed her head to hide the tears flowing out of her eyes.

As much as I appreciate this effort of yours.......

.......I wish not to undergo any treatments for my sickness anymore. I'm grateful for the love, care, and concern all of you have showered upon me but I hate seeing all of you suffer because of me. Let's just accept my tragic fate and just prepare for my upcoming departure.

Seokhoon froze on his spot and felt his world crash right before him.

Why can't she fight for herself, for her family, for her friends, her loved ones and most especially, for me? Rona-yah, why do you have to be this hard-headed?!

Pulling his own hair out of frustration, Seokhoon cried and buried his face in his hands.

Rona-yah, why are you being like this? Instead of thinking about this, can't you for once think about yourself?! Have you ever thought what would everyone feel once you're gone? Have you ever thought how damaged, broken, and miserable all of us will turn once you left us?! Haven't you thought about how I would feel? Rona-yah, all of us are fighting for you because we love you.

Going in front of Rona, Seokhoon knelt down and buried his face on her lap. He continued to cry harder than he ever did and through his sobs, he spoke to her.

We wanted to have you around for a long time simply because you are an essential part of our family. Someone whom we love and care for dearly. Can you please not give up now and fight this battle with us? Please, for the last time Rona-yah, please fight with us. We can't lose you yet. I can't lose you yet. I really can't. Please, I'm begging you.

Rona cried with him as well and caressed his hair while uttering

I'm sorry, Seokhoon-ah. I really am.

After her heart-to-heart talk with Seokhoon, Rona woke up with a severe headache and noticed the she was all alone inside her hospital room.

Eomma? Appa? Seokhoon-ah? Hello? Is Anyone there?

But she heard not even one response from anybody.

Wait, where are they?

Rona walked out of her hospital room and looked at a room at the end of the hallway which seemed  to be filled with white flowers outside.

Is anyone having a funeral here?

She asked herself as she slowly walked towards the room. About two meters away from the door of the room, she saw Seokkyung who passed by her and began to call her name.
