YOUR P.O.V

I heard everything Jaehyun said outside my ward. I really did, but I'm scared, scared that I'm unable to say my last words to him.

I felt weaker by the second. Jaehyun, I'm afraid I can't stay strong for you anymore. I really wanted to say these words to him. However, I cannot seem to open my eyes and mouth. I tried so hard to at least come around so I could see Jaehyun for the very last time. And tell him to pursue his own happiness.

My eyes were still shut close after a long time of trying to open them. I saw a bright light shining my way, a sound pierced through my eardrums, before I could see all white.

I didn't know where I was. I felt so lost. It was all misty and I was confused, extremely disoriented. It was when I started running towards a figure that I saw in the distance, that the haze cleared up.

Who is that?

I was brought back to reality when I heard sobbing. Jaehyun was in tears, because of me. I could only hear him, but I can't reach out to him at all. God please help me. Please let me hold Jaehyun in my arms.

I felt so worthless. I can't even comfort Jaehyun like how he comforts me. I can't even hold him in my arms like a precious gemstone, like my everything. Why is life so unfair?

God, please give me another chance. I beg you.

I can't do anything no matter how hard I tried. I cannot move my fingers. I cannot open my eyes. God has sealed my fate. Do I really deserve this? The person I love for my dear life is crying over me and I can't do a single shit.

Memories of us started flashing through my mind, until something hit me hard in the head. He is my brother.

I DON'T WANT HIM TO BE MY BROTHER!

As I screamed my thoughts in my mind, a tear slipped out of my right eye. My life is so pathetic. I cannot even pick myself up when I'm at my lowest point. Don't cry for me Jae. I'm not worth your tears. Please let me go in peace.

I'm rubbish. I'm just laying right here on the hospital bed, unable to flex my limbs or even open my mouth to speak.

My breathing stabilised but became slower, and slower. I was struggling to breathe at this point of time. It was as though I was drowning in the middle of the ocean. No one can help to pick me up, and save me.

Bye Jaehyun. I'm so sorry. I can't stay by your side forever. Please forgive me. Find someone better. I'm sure you can do that, right? Promise me.

Goodbye, forever.

JAEHYUN'S P.O.V

I couldn't believe it. This is not true.

The doctor and nurses were in Minhee's room, trying to save her life, while I'm here, doing nothing but crying. For god's sake please, I beg anyone, to let her live. I would die for her if I could. Take my lfie instead.

The doctor exited her ward, and the horrific truth was finally out. "Time of death, 11:11 pm. I'm sorry." He gave me a pat on my shoulder.

I collapsed onto the floor, burying my face in my hands. What did Minhee do to deserve this? She was my girlfriend, my best friend, my everything, even my... sister. I looked through the window to see her laying there peacefully. I charged into the ward and embraced her.

"Why are you doing this to me? Why are you abandoning me?!" I wailed as I drenched Minhee's hospital gown. I rocked back and forth, holding her in my arms as though she would break any time. She's already broken.

I apologised over and over again. As I got worn out, I layed on the hospital bed while hugging Minhee. It was as though we went back to the times when we used to cuddle on the couch and in my bed, all while watching dramas or just planning out our next date. But now, she wasn't responding to my hug, to whatever I'm saying. She felt so cold, like a block of ice cube.

There was really no hope left.

THIRD PERSON P.O.V

Minhee's biological and foster parents rushed their way to the hospital separately. They used to take turns to visit their daughter. However, it was only on this day when all four of them were busy that they decided to come visit her the next day instead. As for Jaehyun, he came every single day. His eyebags were visible and he couldn't keep his mind and heart at work.

Her parents had heard the news through a phone call from the hospital. They were currently standing outside the ICU ward, witnessing the very last moment between Jaehyun and Minhee. They didn't want to interrupt the two lovebirds, the two siblings.

Both of them fell asleep on the small single bed, wrapped tightly together by Jaehyun's muscular arms. He never wanted to let her go.

All of their faces were soaked in tears. If things didn't go this way, Minhee wouldn't have left them. If they didn't demand for Minhee to return home for dinner, she wouldn't have to know the truth. The truth that proved to be deadly for Minhee, because of her heart condition.

3 hours later~

Jaehyun woke up, feeling extremely cold. It was as though he hugged a bag of ice to sleep. He opened his eyes, only to realise that it was Minhee. She was ice cold.

He couldn't come to the conclusion that Minhee had already left the world. It was harsh. He felt like he had no meaning to his life anymore.

He climbed down from the bed annd positioned Minhee into a sleeping position. He couldn't bear to do it, but he picked up the white cloth left aside by the nurses and covered up Minhee's body. It was the last step left: covering her head with it, to officially declare that she was dead.

Her parents, all four of them came into the ward. Jaehyun's parents hug him so tight that he was out of breath. It was a tragic scene.

Jaehyun had not moved at all. He was emotionless. The passing of his love had been such a huge blow to him that he was suffocating on the inside.

It all started off as a little game that he wanted to play with Minhee on the rooftop of the hospital, kissing her and all. But, it turned out to be true love. A love where the female lead left way too early for the love to develop into something that lasts forever. A love where the male lead was all left alone, with no one by his side.

A/N:
I'm sobbing rn. Sorry to have developed the story in this direction. I rarely read stories with sad endings on Wattpad so I thought I would write one on my own.
