        Hoseok sat wondering if he should contact her now. He had been fighting with himself all day. Placing his phone on the table he had wondered out to the deck to watch the evening sunset. Sitting on the edge of the deck, he watched the red colored sky turn purple. The way the colors looked reminded him of her. His heart began to ache. Clenching her letter in his hand, he shed a tear. He desperately wanted to see her to apologize. But couldn't bring himself to call her.

Hearing the others loud voices, he let out a sigh. It would take him a while before he would be back to normal. Still he tried every day to laugh and smile like he used to. Hearing about their day always made him jealous. He wanted to be with them, to experience their joy. But sadly he only had a few more days of rest left. Lowering his head, he placed his hands against the edge. Pushing himself off, he felt the softness of the grass under his feet.

He walked a little ways away looking for the perfect spot. Hearing a soft melody in his head, he started to sway. Slowly his body began moving on its own. Letting his mind go, his body moved with ease. His feet stepped and his arms swayed. Closing his eyes he left the world, and entered his own.

As the darkness fell, her face appeared smiling. Which made his heart race thus making him pick up the pace. She was his angel, his star, and hope. Nothing in the world would change that. Even if she were to leave him. She would always remain like that to him. Feeling his body drop to the ground, he quickly shot back up. Spinning around he opened his eyes.

He froze gazing up at her beauty. She wore a grey skirt and black V-neck sweater. A small black choker wrapped around her neck made her look more mature. He felt his breath leave him, as she placed a small tuff of her auburn hair behind her ear.

His heart raced, as she slowly lowered herself to the ground. Still frozen in place, he began to breathe deeply. How was she so beautiful even though she looked like she had been crying for a while? He watched as she stopped in her tacks and gazed at him with her big hazel eyes. He noticed the tears fall from her lids, which made him look away.

"I thought I'd lost you." She sobbed.

"I'm sorry." He said looking to the green grass.

Hearing her soft sobs, broke his heart. This was yet another thing he had done to hurt her. Even though there was so much he wanted to say, he couldn't find the words. Looking up to her tearful expression, he took a step before taking it back.

He watched as she brought her hands to her face. Her sobbing became louder as the tears fell. He stood in silence, listening to her cry. He wanted so much to wrap her in his arms, but he was afraid of her response. He couldn't help but place the blame for her tears on himself. He couldn't quite figure out why she was there crying over him. He figured she had moved on, even though he hadn't. He couldn't.

"Why are you crying over me?" He asked.

She paused. Lowering her hands she gazed at him. Her tears fell slowly down her cheek. Did he really just ask that? Of course you would cry if someone you cared about was hurt. Anyone would. She wiped the tears from her eyes, but more fell as she stood taking in his calm face.
