LOVE LETTER.

- a

The next while, I remember doing everything I could to make you happy. I remember taking you out on dates, bringing you places, buying you things, doing whatever it could possibly take to put a genuine smile on your face.

All happy things must come to an end, though.

I still remember the day that we had to rush you to the hospital for the last time. I remember how frantic the doctors were, I remember how Sanghyuk was sobbing into my shoulder, I remember how I had struggled to stay strong.

I had to stay strong for sanghyuk.

I had to stay strong for you.

I remember how I struggled to comfort Sanghyuk.

It seemed more like I was trying to comfort myself.

And after a while, I broke down.

I remember begging the doctors to let me see you, pleading them to let me talk to you one last time.

And I remember how thankful I was when I was allowed to see you.

I remember crying as I sat in front of you, sobbing into my hands.

I couldn't take it anymore.

And weakly, you reached up, running your fingers through my hair as you teared up.

'Darling, I'll be okay. We'll be okay.'

We wouldn't be okay.

I still remember how you spent your last breaths telling me how much you loved me.

'Darling,' you called out, with that pretty little voice of yours. 'I love you. I love you to the moon and back. I love every little thing about you,'

I still remember begging you not to waste your last breaths on me, but you smiled sadly and shook your head.

'I love you, darling. Wonshik, I love you. Don't forget that, alright? I love you.'

'Jaehwan—'

And my voice, small and broken, finally spoke those three words, those eight letters, that I've always wanted to say to you.

'I love you.'
