my last words to you

...goodbye

and that was it.

junhui had just lost the one person he loved and cared for the most in the entire world.

a long ring was heard throughout the room from the device connected to the smaller boy. junhui looked up with the slightest of hope that this wasn’t some kind of alarm, but the line lay flat. without even realising, within seconds junhui’s hand was detached from minghao’s and the older was pushed backwards as nurses filtered in and out of the room. they pulled needles out of his arm and wheeled machines that stood firmly beside the younger boy, who lay paler than before, out of the room.

after minghao was stripped of everything that attempted to keep him alive, the nurses left. leaving junhui in complete silence, just like before but a different atmosphere within the room. junhui took two small cautious steps towards the bed. he stood straight, waiting at the end of the hospital bed with hope for minghao to awake and tell him it was all a joke. he stood waiting for minghao to kiss him, hug him and tell him everything is going to be okay, just like junhui hoped at the start. but to junhui's despair none of that happened.

instead, junhui was standing at the end of the bed which held the lifeless boy he loved in front of him. the older boy brought his left hand up, covering his mouth with it to avoid loud sobs pouring out, keeping his right hand clutched around his waist for some kind of comfort. tears continuously fell down his face as he made his way around to crouch down beside the younger boy he loved.

too afraid to touch him, junhui just studied minghao and his features. he was paler than when junhui first arrived, his once dark fluffy hair was fading along with the rest of his body. the younger’s lips now lay a darker purple than before and the corners fading in with the paleness of his face.

wiping the tears away from his eyes, junhui stood back up. he leaned over the smaller boy and left a light kiss on minghao's temples before turning away and walking towards the door. with his hands on the door handle, junhui turned around to see the younger one last time. looking at the minghao, junhui copied the boys last words from his letter before walking out the door for the final time,

"i love you minghao, and i always will."
