Last Day. Promise [ONE SHOT]

DAY 1

I am dying.

He doesn't know.

And I don't want him to know.

I don't want him to be with me because he thinks I'm pitiful.

I want him to be with me because he found the true meaning of life with me.

I know it's dumb to think that a rebel guy will do that.

A rebel guy who'll be soft hearted towards a girl who always follows him around?

I am irritating. He once said. I don't care. And I don't know why I don't care to whatever he says to me.

I never listened to him. Why? Because he always wants to get rid of me. It seems like I'm a bacteria to him.

Am I blind? That I can't get a hint that no matter what I do... he can't like me back?

"Luhan. That's his name. Go and flirt with him. Leave me alone!" he said

I was taken aback.

"What?" I asked him.

"Can you not hear? I said his name is Luhan. Flirt with him."

I smiled.

"I guess you've had enough of me this day. I should be going Tao oppa."

"I said never call me oppa!!" he yelled

But I don't care.

And with that. I left him.

DAY 2

I've been following him for two years. But this week is the only week he finally talked to me. And I'm happy about that.

"Tao oppa!" I called him

But as usual he didn't respond. He continued to walk.

I ran so that I can walk together with him.

With the thought that he's beside me makes the butterflies in my stomach go wild. I can't help but to smile.

"What now?!" he asked irritatedly

"Nothing. Hey oppa! Can you smile for me just this once?" I asked him

"No! Why the hell should I do that!?"

"Ah. Nothing. The last time I saw you smile was back when your classmate's books were burnt down." I stated

"So?" he asked

I didn't reply.

Even if it seems that he doesn't want to talk to me, I'm happy because he manage to argue with me. Weird right?

"I should be going oppa." I said

"Czerah."

That voice. I never loved hearing my name this much.

I turned around and faced him.

"You're getting thin nowadays." he said but still as cold as ice.

He noticed?

"Ah. That? I'm on a diet." I laughed and left.

DAY 3

"Czerah?"

"Mom? I'm in my bedroom!" I shouted since she's in the ground floor

Mom opened up the door.

"Aren't you going to chase your dreams today?" she asked

"Later mom. I think it's a bit early."

Yes. Dreams. That's what I call Tao.

To be honest, I should've left and followed him around by this time, but I really am too weak this day.

I'm 18. Too young huh? Guess age really doesn't matter. And today is going to be the last day I can follow him around.

I went out.

What a lucky day? I didn't have to search for him in the subdivision. He's riding his skateboard.

"Tao oppa!!!!" I called him

He stopped the skateboard from moving and looked at me.

"What?!" he asked very Tao-ly (Irittatedly)

I tried to run towards him.
But I just can't.

"Hi!! Having a good day?" I asked with a smile

"Yes. Until you shouted out my name." he answered

"Yah! Don't be like that oppa! This'll going to be the last day you'll see me." I said, still with a smile

"Last day?" he asked

"Yup. Last Day. Promise." I said and I raised my right hand

He didn't respond, and he started to walk.

I followed him. What's new?

"Don't you ever get tired following me?" he asked

"How I wish I got." I laughed

"Is that what you call answer?"

"To tell you the truth, today I thought of not following you . Haha. But I remembered that I can't creep you out anymore after this day since tomorrow I think I'll rest forever." I smiled

"Stop joking around Czerah."

"I am not. I'm suffering from cancer. In fact I am too weak today."

He didn't speak again.

"I should be going. See you again oppa. But I hope not too soon. Enjoy your life. Okay?" I waved goodbye

Tao's POV

That girl.

I know her.

She became my friend three years ago.

But I became like this.

So distant.
So rebel.
So cold.
So bitter.
So new.

She once said...

"Tao oppa. Even if you've changed a lot, for me you still look like an angel."

I didn't mind her.

I never did, actually.

Today is her last day living.

I know.

Who won't know?

A girl getting more thin everyday? A girl getting so slow in moving as days pass?

Who won't notice?

And that's why I don't want to be so attached to her, because I know when this time come both of us will be in pain.

I'm too stupid having that reason with me. I know, I should've took the chance.

But life's like this... you do things you shouldn't and think of things you should've done.
