Ilang linggo na ang lumipas. Tumigil bigla ang pagpapadala at pagsulat ni Baekhyun kay Chanyeol na ikinataka ng higante. Wala naman daw siyang pakielam. Why would he care for an unknown person.
Sa ilang linggo na to. Ilang araw nang puyat, pagod, stress at tulala si Luhan. Hindi alam ng mga kaibigan niya kung bakit, kahit ang kasintahang si Sehun ay hindi rin alam kung bakit.
Nagbago ang lahat. Parang tumigil ang mundo. Maybe people need some rest too. They need to have peace. They need to be cured. Their soul is needed to rest too.
Luhan is the only one who knows what is happening. He's trying to convince and surpressing his mouth to shut it on telling it to others. To stop himself on telling Chanyeol what is going on. That Baekhyun is the one who is sending letters to him.
Its been 1 week since Baekhyun's body become weak. Weaker than the last time he visits Chanyeol's university.
Hindi niya na kayang tumayo. Ni gumalaw ng kaunti ay sumasakit na ang puso niya. Wala ng tyansa. Kahit sabihing baka pwedeng mag-heart donor ay di na kaya. His heart failure really dragging him to death.
And his only wish is, to be with Chanyeol. To be with his love. To be with him with his last breath.
Nurse Jung, his personal nurse is hurting too. Baekhyun reminds him his wife. Dying into the same situation.
Luhan on the other side can't stop his self to tell Chanyeol what is happening. Its 1:34 in the afternoon. Their professor is obviously not attending.
Tumayo si Luhan sa kinauupuan niya na ikinagulat ng boyfriend niya na nasa gilid niya. Luhan walks towards the direction of Chanyeol.
Alam niyang pinangako niya kay Baekhyun na hindi siya magsasalita. Na isa itong sikreto. But seeing Baekhyun like this is killing him. He can't afford to see his bestfriend dying slowly.
"Chanyeol?" napatingin naman si Chanyeol kay Luhan
"Oh, Luhan-hyung. Bakit?"
"Pwede ba tayong mag-usap?"
Napakunot ang noo ni Chanyeol. Nakita niya kung gaano kaseryoso ang mukha ni Luhan. Na para bang sobrang importante ng sasabihin nito.
"Ano yun?"
"Its about Baekhyun" parang tumigil ang paligid nang sabihin ni Luhan ang pangalan ni Baek. Ilan lang ang nasa loob ng room. Si Sehun, si Luhan, si Chanyeol at 1 lalaking kaklase nila natutulog. Nasa labas na kasi ang iba. Nasa cafeteria o nagliwaliw.
The sudden mention of Baekhyun's name makes Chanyeol felt uneasy.
"If it's about, Baek. Huwag na hyung." Kunwaring walang paking sabi ni Yeol. But the truth is he is really curious.
"Gago ka talaga no?" Nagulat si Chanyeol pati si Sehun sa biglaang pagmumura ni Luhan. "Baek loves you so much! Halos wala nang matira sa sarili niya. Pero ang hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit hanggang ngayon mahal ka parin niya" tumulo ang luha ni Luhan. Habang naaalala ang lagay ni Baek. Heart apparatus, wires all over his body. Pain.
"Wala na akong pakielam kung mahal niya ako. Sobrang tagal na Luhan. Let's just forget it"
"FORGET?!" Luhan shouted. His voice was strong. He's wiping his face too harshly. "Baek is suffering C-chanyeol" Luhan whispered and that's tje reason why Sehun immediately walks towards him. "He loves you. You're wrong if you're thinking he's gone. He's always there. Watching you, loving you, cares for you. And he's the one who always writing letters for you. The letters you ignores everyday. Letters you strips."
Luhan words caught Chanyeol's ears.
"T-the letters?" Chanyeol startled. Chanyeol's eyes is wide bcs of surprise. Now he knows why the hand writing is familiar. That's because its from Baek.
"He never stopped, Chanyeol. He's suffering but he never stop to love you. He needs you, Yeol" Luhan sob. And Sehun pat his back.
.
Luhan's last sentence strucked Chanyeol. Even Sehun.
"H-he's suffering with a heart cancer. The doctor said he only have weeks or days to stay" Luhan's tears can't stop now. "His l-last wish is to be with you." He lend a paper to Chanyeol with the hospital's name and Baek's room number. "He needs you, Yeol"
And Chanyeol never waste time to run to see his Baekhyun. Again.
