I couldn't sleep, and so, I grabbed the pill bottle on the stand. I saw that it only had one pill left and that made me smile.
Tomorrow, I'll buy more for the last time.
With that thought in mind, I nodded swallowed the pill without any water and tried to I stand up only to fall again. I tried again, but failed miserably. I was too week. I hadn't eaten properly or drank enough water in a long time. My last full meal was with my brother.
"Hyeong, I boiled water. The ramen will be ready in a few."
Please reply. Please reply. Please reply. Please reply.
"Sungjae-hyeong ..."
No reply.
"I know you're gone...but can't you please say a few more words before you leave me?"
I sighed as I put his ramen by the stand.
"It will get soggy so eat it fast."
I knew I was losing my mind when I started eating while telling Hyeong how my day went.
I don't know how I managed, but I was on top of his bed for the first time since he left. The sleeping pill I took was doing its part as my eyelids felt heavy. I hugged Hyeong's pillow and his scent filled the emptiness I was feeling. With a smile, I drifted to a deep sleep.
