Skip to 3 days (minghao's departure)

He left. Eclipse and seventeen dropped minghao off the airport. We were all balling our eyes out and i hugged minghao tightly. He cried too. It was finally announced, that minghao was leaving because he had cancer. Carats and other fandoms were really heartbroken and sad. They were all commenting nice comments for minghao, like they will pray for him and that they hope he'll recover soon.





I can't wait until he recovers and comes back here, in Korea. Jun and i were in good terms now. He said sorry about all of the things he did.


"yeri, i only did those things since jihyun threatened me. She told me that she'll ruin your life if i don't get back with her. She told me that she'll make you suffer, so i didn't let her. I'm so sorry that i hurt you. I hope you can forgive me someday. I'll wait for that day." he said looking sincere and apologetic. I hugged him. "it's okay now, we're good. I missed you jun." i admitted as he hugged back.




"i love you so much still, yeri. Can i court you again? I will be the real boy now and buy you flowers, chocolates, take you on dates, sing a song for you-" i stopped him and chuckled. "gosh, don't be too cheesy please. I'm not sure how i feel yet. You do know that i still love minghao right? Whatever my heart desires, i'll follow. I did love you before and i don't know if those feelings will come back. Just give me time and space so that i can decided, okay? I hope you understand" i said. He nodded. "of course, sorry if you felt too rushed or pressured." he said. "no, it's okay"






We went home and did nothing. It was a weekend, so we had no schedule. Me and the girls just decided to go downstairs at the living room and binge-watch romantic movies.

"aish, these are too unrealistic. The scenes are too unlikely to happen. The boy dies but reincarnates to be with the girl. Pshh, like that can happen in real life" i said bickering. I suddenly remembered minghao. Stop stop stop stop stop! Let me rest please~


"yah, stop being bitter. It might not be realistic, but the story is so sweet and cute. It means that love will really find it's way." bea unnie said. We clapped. (oooohh jjak jjak jjak jjak) "wah, daebak bea-ssi! We didn't know you were a love expert!" hyori unnie said sarcastically. We laughed.

Bea unnie eyed us. "wae? Can't i understand the definition of love? If a girl is really meant for a boy, love really will find it's way. No matter what happens, they will end up with eachother in the end.



We clapped louder. I stood up and grabbed the empty container of popcorn in the dining table and put it on top of bea unnie's head. "and the most emotional person award goes to........... *drum roll* Lee Bea!" i exclaimed and we all burst out laughing.



The movie marathon finished, and we all went to our rooms. I was wearing my earphones listening to music until i felt my eyelids getting heavier and they finally closed. I fell asleep.












5:08

I woke up all of a sudden. I wanted to think about things, and talk with someone. But sadly, minghao wasn't there. I just decided to go to the lake and just think.



I wore a cap and black oversized hoodie with black sweatpants. I walked to the lake and felt the cold breeze hit my face. I felt minghao's presence. I remember how he said that i should be happy without him, i should be with jun. He loves me that much that he's willing to let me go so that i won't get hurt. I suddenly felt like crying. I felt his presence very strong, but only me and him go to this place.




I felt his embrace but there was no one. Was he giving me a sign? That i should just move on from him and find my happiness? If that makes him happy, then i'll do it.









Thank you for everything, minghao. For saving me all the time and being there whenever i need someone to say all my problems to.


I went back to our dorm and went back to sleep. I guess he wants me to be happy. But he'll come back right? He promised me that he will recover and he's coming back. He promised me that we'll be together once the day comes, but what if it never comes?













:'((( i want to cry too, tbh. It's so sad to end this storyyyy huhuhu. I'm going to miss you guys.
