Kris's P.O.V.

"Or I'll pull the trigger instead." 

I stared into her eyes. Those watery eyes were staring back at me with such frustration. 

"You- You can't be serious, Ivy?" I tried to smile but the reality was too true to be ignored. The girl of my life is now standing with a gun at her head; she knew what my weakness is. 

It was her. 

She knew how much she meant to me. And she knew that I love her more than anything else. 

I couldn't help myself but to remember the first time I met her. 

It was the day of my new life.

 [Flashback- 10 years ago]

My jaws dropped in disbelief, sweat was dripping down my forehead as I hurriedly ran over to the body on the floor. Her body looked so thin; her face was pale, her hand was skinny and she lost a lot of hair. But when I came back and saw her bleeding on the floor, I knew it was not a good sign. 

"M-mom?" My hands shook as I held her hand, she responded with a painful groan. Her eyes were half-closed as I looked at her. 

"Yi Fan-yah." She whispered and I started to shout for help. 

"You're going to be okay, mom. Y-you're going to heal!" I exclaimed and pretended that everything was fine, holding back my tears so that she won't get sad. 

My mother smiled. It was one of the smiles she hasn't shown me for a long time. How I missed her smile when she was barely sick. 

"Yi Fan! Listen to me, c-carefully, dear." She stammered, raising her hand up to my cheeks. She caressed my cheeks with love in her eyes, but then blood started to spill out from her mouth. I gasped, unable to control all the mixed emotions anymore. 

"Mom!" 

"Listen, Yi Fan." She still tried to speak. "I love you, son. I will always do."

"No, mom. You're going to be fine!" 

"Take care of yourself when I'm not around, deary. Mom's going to be really happy if you do that." 

I cried. I couldn't help but to let the warm tears streak down my face. I love her. I love her so much. 

"One more thing, Yi Fan. I-I want you t-to," she paused for air. "Find your brother. Find him for me, alright? Take care of him like I took care of you." A tear stroked down her cheeks. The eyes of a sick mother staring deeply into my eyes. 

"Tell him I love him as well." 

"Oh, mom." I didn't know how to respond to her. Out of all times, why now? Out of all people, why him? He doesn't deserve any of her love! He doesn't know how much she means to me. 

And yet she wants me to tell him that? 

"Take care, my son. I-I will always love you," My mom started to suffocate. "Both of you."

She smiled before breathing the last breath, in my arms. 

And with that, the world became black.
