**Riiiinnggg. . . . Riiiinnggg. . . . Riiiinnggg. . . .**

It had been approximately two and a half hours since he had been lying lifelessly on his bed, his left hand never leaving his ear.

"Come on, pick up. Please. For me."

**Riiiiinnggg. . . . Riiiinnggg. . . . Your call has been forwarded to an automated voice messaging system, if you would like to leave a message please —**

He sighs heavily, breathing is getting even more and more difficult each day.

But despite all that, Chanyeol still tries his best to survive, to live in this cruel and unjust world that he was living in.

"I'm an idiot. I know." He whispers to himself. His eyes never leaving the sight of the empty ceiling above him.

It's already 12 midnight, and Chanyeol feels like he is about to jump off the nearest building he can find, one that is as tall as the Eiffel Tower. One swift jump and all of his problems will go away.

And maybe, eventually be able to meet him on the other side.

He was becoming more and more desperate as time ticks by.

Finally giving up, he clicks his phone off, taking it out of his hears, throwing it on the side of his bed, it doesn't even matter anymore if his phone broke or gets cracked anytime soon, with the many times he has thrown the device back and forth on his bed, a year after what had happened.

He shifts his body to the right, curling like a ball as he hugs his pillow very tightly. Tears were starting to roll down his cheeks, the pain of the loss is still quite fresh, stabbing his heart relentlessly for every single day he tries his hardest to live his life. It felt like he was walking on very painful eggshells, only to find that they were shattered glass, making him bleed out until he has nothing to offer one day.

It had been a year since the incident . Been a year since he was living in a life that he didn't want anymore, and that everyday was a living hell for him. Sometimes he wished he had the strength and the determination to end it, but just like any other normal human being, he was scared of doing it alone.

"I can't do this without you. You know how weak I am. I can't do this alone." He repeatedly says, as if talking to someone whom he couldn't see or never even existed before.

'Tonight, the skies are clear and there are so many stars coming out pristine and pretty in this night sky! NASA has announced that in a few days the planet Earth will be graced once again with the sight of the ever- glowing Halley's comet, the one celestial that only appears every 200-years! So all of you astronomy and space-loving ladies and gents, don't miss out on this one-time rare opportunity to see it in the skies!'
