Jisung preferred silence over bustling noise, his heart hurt because Minho just left with the girl without a second glance. So he decided to get cheesecake because he was depressed and Hyunjin always adviced him to eat when sad since he never properly ate. So here he was with. Cropped black sleeveless top, tights, a pink plaid skirt and Hugh gothic boots as he reached up to the counter leaning his head on the glass.

"The usual?" Chaeryeong tapped his nose. He nodded with a pout.

"Add my favourite blue berry cheesecake slice too." He mumbled.

"Oh no darling. It just got sold to that pretty girl over there. I'm so sorry." Now it was her turn to pout, Chaeryeong was a sweet girl who worked at coffee shop close to the university. Jisung turned around to see the slice of cheesecake sitting prettily before the man he was hopelessly in love with. Lee Minho. His heart was beating heavily but he still managed to waddled to the pair sitting face to face.

"Umm yeah? We aren't still done yet?" The girl gave him a confused experience with a frown.

"He's not a waitress Noona. Hannie what are you doing here looking like that?" Minho glared at the boys bear cute plush tummy.

"Next time I'm wearing the tiniest skirt ever and wearing a bra!" Jisung stuck his tongue out as he snatched the plate of cheesecake and waddled off. Minho blinked at the burst of cuteness as he chuckled softly shaking his head.

"Who is he?" The girl asked Minho a little shocked that he chuckled.

"The love of my life?" She saw the usually arrogant young boy blush and avoid eye contact. She nodded with a smile

"Jisung is it?" Minho nodded smiling, " He's beautiful. You should date him before it's too late." She started off going to her bag to pull out a thick envelope. "Or you'll end up like Chan loosing Innie." She pushed it across the table.

"Jeong-yeon Noona? What are you saying?" Minho frowned.

"I'm saying........That love him before it's too late. Why weren't you at the funeral?" Jeong-yeon's eyes filled with tears.

"I fell terribly sick that night after the camp Noona." Minho stared down at the letter addressed to him in Jeong-in's handwriting. He looked up as she nodded gesturing him to open it.

"We are moving, so Mom wanted me to vacate Innie's room. I found this fallen behind the bed head. Did.......Did you know that he took his own life?" She wiped a stray tear as Minho snapped his head up. "He was so happy when he came back. What happened at the camp?" Jeong-yeon's voice broke.

"Why didn't Chan ever tell me that? Why didn't Binnie or Seungmin ever tell me that? At the camp I was already sick............... So I could've pay attention to alot of things. Innie was very happy though because Chan and he were dating........" Minho opened the envelope as he started reading the letter.

Dearest Savage meanie!! Hehe my favourite Hyung!

I'm writing this a week before the camp, I tried but I keep loosing my battles, of course my family is lovely, Chan and you guys are lovely too but I can't seem to find my happiness no matter how hard I try it feels numb. And I found out that you have Cardiac sarcoma, I heard Binnie and you argue about it a few days back. So.........So when I take my own life, my heart would be yours. I want you to live for Jisung always. He needs you. He's fragile and empty you are his only reason. I've made sure it goes to you. The receptionist was skeptical that I wanted my heart to be given to you but I lied that I was sick too. Chan doesn't know, don't ever tell him why...........I get bullied every day and my mental health is shit. I'm tried but I lost my battle. Please tell Jisung you love him, please.

With love,
Innie.

"Why did he want his heart given to you? I know my brother was depressed and mentally unstable but I never expected him to take him own life. Minho that week Innie's heart was implanted into you......." Jeong-yeon whispered softly her lips quivering. "Are you taking care of it?"

"I have Cardiac sarcoma, is a rare type of primary malignant (cancerous) tumor that occurs in the heart. A primary cardiac tumor is one that starts in the heart. A secondary cardiac tumor starts somewhere else in the body and then spreads to the heart." Minho bitterly chuckled, I didn't get a transplant that week Noona, I went under surgery, it was successful until I was diagnosed with secondary cardiac tumour in my head and if I don't do the surgery soon enough I'll.......well you know." He sniffled.

"What? That's........I'm so sorry Minho. If you didn't get the heart where is it then?" Jeong-yeon frowned.

"I don't know and Chan hates me because he probably thought I pushed Jeong-in to kill himself or something. Because wait........I remember. We had an argument, over Chan for he thought Chan had romantic feelings for me too. I was in pain so I lashed out at him. But we came sitting together in the bus back home and he forgave me." Minho was crying now and he hated that he was in pain.

"Hey it's not your fault my brother chose to end his life. It was his decision." She stood up to hug Minho tightly. And he let her because he needed to cry right now and he wanted to hide.

Jisung ran out of the cafe crying, he knew Minho wouldn't but he didn't know about the olders personal life. He knew nothing, what if she was an ex girlfriend? Maybe he wasn't even gay but the kisses they shared? He almost crashed on a car as he ran home.
