A/N: THE END IS NEAR. :'(

ERRORS AHEAD!!!!

How can I face him without crying? How can I face him when I know that he suffered a lot because of me and is still suffering? How can I face him when I promised him I would never let go but I did? How?

"Uhm, your highness?" Someone snapped out. I zoned out again.

I tried composing myself, breathing in and out. "I'm sorry. What did you say?"

He was looking at me then scratch his head, "I said we're already here."

Oh right. How long have I been standing in front of this door? "I'm sorry." I apologized. "What was your name again?"

"I'm Ryeowook, your highness." He said shyly while scratching again the back of his head. I wonder what's on his head that he keeps on scratching it.

"You can go."

He nodded and left.

Sighing, I held the door's knob. What will I tell him? There were thoughts that are running through my head. They were screaming so loud, so loud that I can't seem to find my urge to open this damn door. So loud that it's telling me to open it and get over it.

I was about to twist the knob when, "Serene?"

"Amanda." I answered in a cracking voice.

"He was waiting for you." She said. "I should go."

She didn't wait for me to respond. She tapped my back, maybe for some encouragement, I don't know, and left.

"Hey!" I called on Yesung, as I close the dorr behind.

He smiled, but it wasn't like before. There wasn't any sparks. The atmosphere becomes awkward, all of a sudden. We weren't like this. We used to joke and kid around. We used to tease each other. I'm on the verge of crying when he greeted me with a hug and kiss.

"I miss you." He whisper right through my ear as we gasped for air. "I miss you. I miss kissing you, and I miss being with you, Serene."

And with that, all the tears that I've been trying to stop, escaped. They were flowing endlessly, no matter how hard Yesung tries to shushed me.

"Haven't I told you that I hate seeing you cry?" He asked. "It hurts me seeing you cry. And you don't want me hurting, right? I nodded. "So don't cry."

"How can I ever live without you?" I hugged him again, "I just want you to be with me. I'll do whatever it takes, Yesung. Just be with me."

"I'd love to." He broke away from the hug. "Look at me, Serene." He said as he lifted up my chin. "I'd love to be with you. God knows how I badly want to, but.." He paused for a bit. His hands that are holding me starts to shake. "But, I can't. I can't be with you anymore."

"Don't say that!"

If someone could see us now, we looked hopeless and stupid, crying on each others arms. But who cares anyway?

"Serene, I will never leave you. I will always be here," He said then pointed my chest. "In your heart."

At this moment, I've realized that I'm willing to die just to be with him. "If death is the only way that we could be together, then I'll die with you."
