° Seungcheol's POV °

I am currently arranging some documents in the office but I can't stop thinking of my bestfriend who's in the hospital. I have already told our co-employees and the CEO about Jeonghan. They felt sad and the others said they will try to visit Jeonghan when they have free time.

My thoughts got interrupted by a knock on the door. I just told the person to come in because I am still busy arranging documents.

The person came in and told me that the other documents are at Jeonghan's room. I just nodded as my response and heaved a sigh.

After arranging the documents, I went to Jeonghan's office room to get the other documents. I entered the well-organized office of Jeonghan and looked for the other documents to be arranged.

When I found it, I grabbed them and was about to leave the room but a family picture frame caught my eyes. I went closer to Jeonghan's desk and looked at the family picture.

There are Jeonghan, Miyoung, Jaekyung, and Haejo in the picture. They all look so cute, wearing beautiful smiles of theirs.

I suddenly felt sadness and pain, and remembered how he is having a hard time with his life.

I put the documents on Jeonghan's desk for awhile and took the picture frame to look at it. I looked at every person in the frame.

"You can't just leave this world, Jeonghan. You haven't seen your kids grown up. You have to see them reach their dreams together with your wife, and your twins will enter this world soon." I talked to the Jeonghan in the picture.

I let my tears rolled down on my cheeks and sniffed. I am just really hurt because my bestfriend doesn't deserve this to happen to him. He is so kind-hearted friend that everyone will like him to be his friend.

"Seungcheol? Are you crying?" Someone asked me from behind. I put the frame down and wiped my tears before I turned around to face the person who asked me.

"Uhm, yes. But I'm fine, Minki. Don't worry." I said and gave him a faint smile.

Minki then walked closer to me and patted my shoulder. "It's Jeonghan, isn't it?"

I nodded as I bit my lower lip, controlling my tears not to fall down but I failed.

"Don't worry, Cheol-ah. He'll be fine." Minki said before he left me in the room.

I wiped my tears once again before I grabbed the documents and left Jeonghan's room.

It is finally 6 in the evening and that means we're now able to go home. I arranged my things and then bid goodbyes to my co-employees before I left the office.

I went to the parking lot and looked for my car. I hopped in and started the car.

While on the way home, I don't know why but I suddenly remembered my parents. That's why I changed my way and went where my parents are.

When I finally arrived at the destination, I hopped out of my car and locked it before I entered the place. The security guard greeted me. I don't want to be rude, so I greeted him back.

The entire place is so quiet. I looked around and saw few people, visiting their beloved ones infront of their gravestone.

Yes, here is where my parents are, cemetery.

When I found their gravestones, I sat down on the grass and stare at it.

My mother died first and the cause of her death is a major car accident. Too painful, she did not make it, and that happened three years ago.

Just a year after my mother's death, my father died and it was because of heart failure, same as Jeonghan's condition. There's no heart donor found for my father. It really hurts me until now. I thought there will be a miracle but nothing.

So, basically, I live all by myself.

I am all alone but I am very thankful because my friends are still there for me no matter what happens.

I heaved a sigh and faced my father's gravestone. I started to talk although he won't hear me, but I know in heaven he will.

"Dad, my bestfriend has a heart disease. I-It's a heart failure, same as yours. I already l-lost you and mom, b-but please not my bestfriend this time. I want him to live longer." I cried.

"He doesn't deserve this, really. I pity him and so worried about his family especially his wife. His wife is pregnant and carrying twins. He has to see his twins, he has to raise and take care of them together with his wife." I continued talking and sniffed.

"But there's still no heart donor for him. I can't imagine what will happen to his wife and kids if he will die." I took my handkerchief from my pocket and wiped the tears on my cheeks.

I stood up and sighed.

"But dad, and mom... you how much I love to help people, right?" Of course, there's no answer. I faintly smiled at the gravestones.

"I love you both. I hope you're doing well up there in heaven." I said before I started to walk away from my parents' gravestone and left the cemetery.
