Food and Them

Chapter 60: The End

Dear JiYong,

I really hope this letter won't be in your hand but if it is, it means I am no longer with you. No longer with any of you. Thank you for letting me be one of your chingu even though I am a normal person. Hope this 2 years the foods that were catered or arranged fill your stomach and your heart. Oppa, I always wanted to say this. Saranghae, JiYong Oppa. I know this is absurd but I really love you. I am scared to confess or say anything because you know my complexity. And with illness, it doesn't help. But Oppa, I hope you will find a good person that takes care of you and love you wholeheartedly because you are charming. Take care of her well and don't break her heart. Soon, you will go to serve the army so take care too! Annyeong Oppa! I love you.

Yours Sincerely, Sally

"Sally-ah..."

"JIYONG-HYUNG!Palli!" calls DooJoon.

He folds the letter and placed it in his pocket. He jogs towards the boys. They are taking pictures for a pre-wedding photoshoot of SeungHyun and Sandy. All 11 of them gather for the special occasion. Sandy is still touching up her make up.

"All of you are from a different group but I realise all of you have the same bracelet," says their photographer.

All the boys smile widely and DongWoon asks him to snap a shot of it. The bracelet that Sally gave them last year shines brightly on their hands. Sandy walks towards SeungHyun and all of them are amaze by her beauty. Sandy sits beside SeungHyun and the boys wink at her before leaving. The emotion in her eyes tells them everything that she wished Sally is with her. The photographer leads the couple. The boys head to their dressing room.

Yoseob: Sally-ah...
JiYong: Sally-ah...

JiYong and Yoseob look at each other. They sigh and smile at each other. The boys are wiping off their make-up and changing to their normal clothes. They are planning to grab dinner together. Ever since the incident, they have been meeting each other to dine in together. Just like how they get close with Sally, food. That's what connected them.

Sally: I'm on my way. Waeyo?
Yoseob: YAH! Aren't you suppose to be here long ago? This is your best friend we talking about. "
Sally: YAH! I am running errands for her wedding now!! I WAS THE FIRST ONE!
Yoseob: But you didn't take with us!
Sally: Aigooo! This is my best friend's wedding photoshoot, not mine. kekeke! DongWoonie tells me you guys going to have dinner?
Yoseob: De! Palli, before we leave you!

~What really happen?~

"Jiyongie!" shouts YoungBae.

JiYong kept on running without turning back. Yoseob saw DooJoon and YoungBae ran after JiYong. He must have thought the worst is coming. Yoseob turns and looks at Ray.

"Hyung,isn't this a good news? Why you ran?" asks Yoseob to Ray.

Ray who is panting, points to his wife. His wife smile sheepishly.

"I was scared that Ray will do anything nasty to you boys so I purposely said that the doctor detects something wrong. That's why he ran," explains Ray's wife.

Ray glares at his wife. Hopefully DooJoon and YoungBae manage to cath JiYong. Yoseob calls DooJoon.

"JiYong hyung! Geuman! Sally is okay!" shouts DooJoon.

JiYong shows no sign of stopping so DooJoon runs faster.

"Oppa..."

JiYong stops. Sally's voice. DooJoon and YoungBae are panting but DooJoon passes his phone to JiYong.

"Stop running.I am okay.I haven't die yet," says Sally.

JiYong tears up.

"Sally-ahhh!"

Sally smiles seeing all the boys and Sandy. She joins them and in between JiYong and Yoseob. All of them are enjoying their dinner. Soon,Sandy and SeungHyun going to get married after SeungHyun come back from military service.

"Pre-wedding shoots are done! Stay together okay?" says Seungri.

"YAH!" shouts Daesung.

All of them stare at Seungri. Knowing him,he is still clueless.

"It's a new beginning for all of us. Beast coming back as Highlight,BigBang will be four as of now and HyunSeungie doing what he loves. And I will continue to live..."

"You will continue to live and witness me getting married," says Sandy.

"Yes, of course!I promise you and maybe after that I can die peacefully...ouch!"

JiYong and Yoseob hit her arm simultaneously. Sally smirk and says she is joking. JiYong held her hand. The foods are served and all of them eat happily. JiYong excuse himself to smoke.

The weather is still cold. He stares at the sky.

"It's about time you quit smoking,Oppa," says Sally.

He look at Sally intently and smiles. Sally take away his cigratte.They stood there quietly.

"Let's take thing slowly..." says Sally.

Both of holding hand and Sally hums to Highlight new song. JiYong stares at her.

"They are my first love."
