On December 13th at 12:13 in the morning, Soonyoung's heart stopped beating.

On December 13th at 12:13 in the morning, Jihoon watched doctor's and nurses rush into Soonyoung's room.

On December 13th at 12:14 in the morning, panic struck Jihoon.

On December 13th at 12:16 in the morning, Jihoon called Seungcheol, almost screaming into the phone, tears starting to pour from his eyes.

On December 13th at 12:17 in the morning, Seungcheol ran through their home, getting the member's up and ready to go.

On December 13th at 12:20 in the morning, they were rushing to the hospital.

On December 13th at 12:37 in the morning, the member's came running into the hospital and to Jihoon.

On December 13th at 12:39 in the morning, they all began crying, holding each other tightly, praying for the best.

On December 13th at 12:58 in the morning, the doctor's came out of Soonyoung's room.

On December 13th at 12:58 in the morning, the doctor apologized.

On December 13th at 12:59 in the morning, Jihoon passed out.

On December 14th at 7:06 in the morning, Jihoon sat up in his bed and looked around. His whole body felt numb. His heart was beating, but for what reason?

Without thinking about it, he climbed out of his bed, slowly walking to Soonyoung's room. He opened the door, expecting to see a sleeping Soonyoung, but saw nothing. He could feel that stupid heartbeat again, breaking the numb, as panic set into him.

He swallowed hard, shakily walking into the room. He looked around, tears filling his eyes. Everywhere he looked he could see Soonyoung. He could see Soonyoung doing something he loved.

His nose was filled up with the smell of him. He swallowed again, walking farther into the room. He looked onto his desk and noticed a piece of paper titled 'When I'm gone, read me.'

Jihoon fell to the floor, beginning to breakdown as his breathing increased.

-Hey :)

So, if you're reading this, I'm guessing I'm not there anymore..

I'm sorry I couldn't stand long enough.

So you won't forget me, this isn't the only thing you're getting!

Just a single piece of paper saying goodbye isn't good enough.

While I was sick in the hospital, I did have some free time to do thing's.

Under my bed you'll find a box with 14 letter's and 14 pictures.

Please take care of them.

Please don't forget me.

Jihoon dropped the letter and crawled over to Soonyoung's bed, reaching under it. He grabbed onto a box and pulled it close to him. He choked on his tears as he ran his hand over the box.

It had Soonyoung's beautiful handwriting on it. Handwriting that came from his beautiful, hard working hands. Hand's that he would never be able to feel warmth from again.

Jihoon wiped his eyes and stood up, holding the box tightly. He walked into the kitchen and sat it down on the table, sitting down in a chair in front of it. He stared at the box before slowly opening it with shaky hands.
