"Hey, what's wrong?" She asked as she noticed, he's been staring at the ceiling for so long.

And then, he smiled.

"I'm thinking of taking a rest."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"My body's getting weaker, day by day... I can't make it anymore." He gazed at her.

"Please don't say that."

"Sorry, but I have to." She shook her head, tears began to form in her eyes.

"There's no point of living anymore."

"Hey." She grabbed his hand and caressed it.

"What do you want me to do for you, to stop giving up?"

"Nothing." He again, smiled.

Now her tears began to fall.

"But didn't you promised, you'll never leave me?"

"Yes, I did... I promised, I won't leave you alone. But then, he came..." His trembling hand, went over to her cheek, caressing it.

"He'll be the one, supporting you with your decisions, help you solve your problems... And he'll also be that person who can, and will understand you."

"No..."

"Just give me one thing before I rest." She stared at him, sobbing as she waited for him to continue.

"C-can I have a kiss?"

There was a long silence between them.

She moved closer, leaning her forehead to his and smiled, whispering, "You'll always be in my heart, Kim Sunoo."

And then they kissed.

But it didn't last long when she heard the heart monitor beeped.

If I knew it then, will I feel the same way?
