The Last Welcome - KNK Youjin × Heejun

#17

I could tell by his eyes.

Instantly.

He wouldn't make eye contact. His tan skin was sickly pale. His posture bad.

I was worried. "What's wrong?" I asked him as we stood in my place. He had knocked on the door and I let him in immediately.

Now we were standing in the living room. Silence filling the whole place.

And he spoke his words again, saying something I never expected.

"Sarah's pregnant."

"W-What?"

"Sarah's pregnant." He said, whimpering. "And it's mine."

I went stiff. Stiff and cold.

My heart, it cracked.

"B-But we can still be together."

He didn't want to make eye contact as he continued to talk, hiding his watery eyes away from me. "My parents know. They want me to marry her Youjin." He began to cry because it wasn't just real for me, it was real for him too.

I began to breathe faster, my heartbeat increasing. I didn't want to lose him, not ever. "Don't marry her."

"I-I have to."

"Don't." My eyes watered, and I began to cry. Cry for the first time since he had dated her.

"I-I have to."

"Please, Heejun, don't leave me." I begged, crying hopelessly.

He walked up to me and kissed my lips softly, embracing me in one last hug, before leaving me.

One last whisper of words.

"I love you Youjin, I had loved you. I'm sorry."

And he was gone.
