Ｃｈａｐｔｅｒ38: LETTERS/FLASHBACKS

"Dear, Jungwon-ie

When I first met you, the first thing I noticed is that you're so soft, squeezy to be specific ㅋㅋㅋ for real though! you really look so soft but when I saw you dance, I was taken a back because you become a monster. You rip off the floor. And I can't wait to see you rip off the stage too once you debut! We shared a lot of memories and every single one of them are precious. I haven't been able to formally thank you for paying my taxi everytime I left my wallet inside the practice room that I can't get because it's already locked. Anyways, thank you for that because you save me from walkingㅋㅋ. And because of that, I'll grant your one wish, just one. Just say everything, I will wait for your wish until we meet again!..."

"Noona...". Jungwon wiped his tears.

"I could use that wish right now. I wish that this is just a dream and waking up with you for us to debut, can you please grant my wish now?". Jungwon added, continue on wiping his tears because he knows he's now in reality and this is not a dream.

"Dear, Heeseung

Ooh, my longest trainee buddy~ I know you somehow can feel what I'm feeling right now, we are twins who can feel and sense each other's emotions. We might had a misunderstanding since the start of this program, remember that it was all gone. I understand you, truly. I hope you forgive yourself too. I'll always be rooting for you, it might not be beside you but I'm rooting for you from a far. I will always be grateful for being there with me since I got in this country. For standing up like my brother for more than 3 years. Can you believe that it's already more than 3 years since we met? It feels like it just happened yesterday. You are the first person who showed me around the company and meet me your other trainee friends, that's why I have Jay, Jungwon, and Sunghoon right now. You guys save me from being homesick. I still remembered how you pulled the three to go with you to ask me if I want to have lunch with you guys. You're my Angel, I meant it. I know you're going to debut with all my heart, I knew that I'll see you on stage someday, I'm looking forward to that day. But, for now, It's time for me to say goodbye. I can't face you right now because I know you'll just make me stop to leave, but I have too, Heeseung. Until we meet again, my Angel".

Heeseung who's been quiet since he heard the news is now breaking down.

The last person who doesn't know how to feel and to react with what he heard is just holding the paper, not reading it. Looks like he don't have intention to read it. He just stare at it and at the paper bag. While everyone just finished their own letters, they look inside the paper bag. They all received a photo frame where a selfie of them. Leesu holding the iPad while she's on top of the chair and behind her is the other I-LANDERs, smiling so wide and doing poses. It was taken yesterday.

If they knew, if they only knew.

FLASHBACK (THE OTHER NIGHT)

"I'm going to do that for you. I'll be the best person you can be proud of. I want to be the man you deserve, so please stay with me till the end..."

"I'm sorry"

Jay pulled the lady and hug her tight. Leesu sniffles and hug him back. The two stay together hugging each other, not minding the open cameras around them. At this time, all they want is to be with each other's side.

"I'll sacrifice for yo-"

"Sshh... don't. Please, don't". Leesu stop him because she knows there's a consequences whatever he's going to say.

"I hope you know how much you meant to me. Leesu, I love y-"

"No, please, Jay, no". Leesu hugged him tightly to stop him saying the words.
