30|| Letting You Go

"Did you saw Sunghoon?" Heeseung asked his brother Jungwon. He shook his head as a response, "We're looking for Lia the whole time."

Deep in the school nursery, Lia went in there. She found a bench where she can clearly watch the colorful sunset.

She shut her eyes and felt the warmth of the sunset.

"Lia?" A soft voice called behind.

It turns out,it was Sunghoon.

"You found me... again" Lia uttered.

Sunghoon sat beside her and watch the sunset together.

"Why are you here alone?" Sunghoon started.

Lia leaned her head on his shoulder, "I wasn't alone anymore. You're here. Can't you see?"

Sunghoon grinned and interlocked his hands on her.

"You're hands are cold."

"Hmmm... I know."

"Sunghoon...." Lia called.

"Yes?"

"Farewell."

Sunghoon started sobbing silently. unknowingly,Lia can feel his falling tears.

"Don't cry. You're making me feel sad too."

Sunghoon sniffed forcing himself to smile, "I love you" he confessed.

Lia started to shaken with tears, "I love you too."

"Farewell, my one and only lady Lia" Sunghoon bid his goodbye with so much grieve filling his heart.

He cupped Lia's cheeks as the woman held his wrists, Sunghoon then slowly pulled her for a kiss in the lips

"Go home safe afterwards" Lia ordered rubbing his back in the middle of their warm embrace.

"I'll find you. I promise."

"In 3..... 2...... 1......" Heeseung's count down ended.

Yoona covered her mouth while crying not to make any noise around.

They are all watching them not too far. As the sun already set behind the clouds, Sunghoon can feel Lia's grip loosened and her head slowly rested on his shoulders.

Sunghoon hugged her body tightly when he can't already hear any heartbeat from her.

"What an ish!" Jay complained,looking away with flowing liquids in his cheeks.

-

In a gloomy way, Sunghoon carried Lia's lifeless body, start walking back in the classroom. He lifted his gaze when he met his brothers watching him.

"She'll catch cold" Jungwon uttered with liquids forming at the edge of his eyes while he coat his jacket over Lia.

-
"Do you have a death wish---?" Seora whose about to punch Suho, froze including Ms. Ji-na in the middle of discussion.

The chalk that Ji-na was holding fell on the ground as Sunghoon entered carrying Lia.

"S-Sunghoon? What happened? Did she collapsed?" Ms. Ji-na start to get nervous and immediately checked her pulse.

"She's dead" Sunghoon blankly responded.

Ms. Ji-na started to tear up.

"No! That's not possible!" She laughed out loud like a crazy woman that led into cries, kneeling down the ground. For her, Lia has been her kindest and favorite student along with Suho and Seora because of their chemistry together as seatmates.

But her cold and lifeless body tells her that she is now gone... forever.

Seora's knee shaken that made her drop in her seat.

"Lia" she uttered as her tears dropped one by one, trying to process what's going on.

"What's going on---?" Mr. Kim just arrived to fetch the kids but it turns out, he'll see his daughter went on without a proper goodbye.

Sunghoon looked at Mr. Kim with puffy eyes. He saw him tearing up while approaching Lia.

"I have protected you from Eli all too well but little did I know, the hidden villain was you. Your kindness, purity and love inside you was the one who killed you. You loved me so well that you chose to kill yourself."
