"You— love me?"

Minho nodded. His whole body seemed to be shaking. He must have been nervous to say this in such an unsafe condition. Too much adrenaline, too much emotion, too much burden on our shoulders to be able to act normally.

"Why, Minho? You don't like me—"

"I told you I was!" He snapped, cutting me off. But then he took a deep breath. "Sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you."

"No worries. It's normal to panic in this kind of situation. I know you're nervous and scared."

"And you, why are you so chill?"

"This ain't my first time."

Minho frowned in confusion, he didn't know about the facts that happened a year ago. Besides, he would be the first person who didn't believe my story. And now he said this, I didn't understand. I didn't understand why he suddenly loved me.

"Just do what you wanna do. No need to talk nonsense—"

"What nonsense, Liverra? I was the one who ordered you the tuna sandwich at the library— if you remember. You probably thought it was Chan, but no. Just ask the barista."

He cut my words again, like the way he showed how much he hated me. But I wasn't even sure about my suspicion of him. He was one of the suspects and someone who really didn't support my relationship with Chan. His distrust of me also made it hard for me to trust him.

"Why?"

"Because I care. You had so much burden and that's the only— bravest thing I could do for you. I noticed you like those tuna fried rice at the Uni so yeah."

If Minho wanted to get rid of me, he could have done it without letting me down. He didn't have to suddenly make stories. He could see that I was so easy to k1ll right now. I could die at any moment and I was ready for it. No more distractions and annoying Liverra ruining their happy day at Woodstones. I would turn back time to the freshman conference, I should have gone back to eating my kimbap that fell into the puddle and made my stomach hurt even more so that I didn't attend that time.

I should have delayed it for a few days so that I wouldn't have to see Chan at Ruby Hall. I should have tried to find Sir Reizen and begged him not to put me in the SA at all. I should have run away from home immediately and live in the house I bought from Shin Hyunjin. I shouldn't have let these stupid feelings grow.

I should do more. I should work harder. I should do something to finish everything I started.

"Just k1ll me, Minho."

"What?" Minho approached me this time. He wiped my tears but I slapped his hand away.

"If you love me like you said, please k1ll me. I'm a bad person. Just throw me to the sea to meet my tuna friends."

"And let Chan be destroyed in painful loneliness?"

This time I couldn't reply to him. I couldn't say anything painful about him. To destroy him was never my option.

"You know, Liverra? The reason I really disagreed with your relationship with him at that time was because I had liked you for a long time. And when I found out you disappeared for a year, I tried to find out where you were. I finally managed to get your info—"
