Dowoon dialed Chae's number, impatiently tapping his feet onto the ground.
"Hello?"
"Chae." He said. His voice was stern. He was still thinking and debating with himself if he should tell her.
"Dowoon? Is there anything wrong?" She said with a hint of worry in her voice.
"It's about Wonpil. Can we meet up?"

Chae was surprised with what Dowoon told to her. She never thought that her bestfriend is in love with her. She never thought that her bestfriend, right now, is suffering because of her.
"Oh god.. Where is he? I need to talk to him!" She said.
"He's in hospital right now. He's in very critical condition." He said with a sad tone. "He might be gone in a few days-"
"Shut the fuck up, Dowoon! This is not the time for you to tell me that my bestfriend is going to die!"
"But that's the fucking reality, Chae!" He shouted.
It's true.
He might be gone in a few days.

Chae opened the door to Wonpil's room. All she saw was a body – a thin body. Wonpil's face was pale, he definitely looked much more thinner than he already was.
"W-Wonpil...?"
Wonpil opened his eyes as he heard the voice. The voice from the person that he truly loves.
"Chae? Is that you?" He raised his head.
The female has tears on her eyes. What Dowoon said was true – Wonpil is in very bad condition. He looked like a walking corpse.
"It's me.. oh god." Chae sobbed. She felt so bad for him. If only Chae realised his feelings – she doesn't want to lose him.
He chuckled. She realised that his voice is much more deeper and raspier. Even his voice changed.
"Why? Are you surprised to see me like this?" He said with a sarcastic tone.
"I.. I'm sorry. You don't deserve this."
"Talking won't change anything, Chae."
He tried to adjust his body, but gave up when he had not energy to do so.
"At least you're here. That's enough for me." He smiled as he stares the ceiling.
"Have I told you, how sucker I am for you?" He asked. "Like, when you smile, I would always squeal to myself. That cute smirk of yours are always my favourite. I also remember that you would sulk when I eat your favourite ramen." He continued.
"Wonpil-"
"It's hard for me to see when you're smiling because of other guy." He confessed. His throat is getting dry, he's about to break down if he continue, but he continues anyways. "Something in my heart, kept on breaking into pieces." He hold his chest.
"I'm sorry.. I'm very speechless about this. I just can't believe that you would actually love me more than friends." She said.
"I always knew that you didn't take it seriously when I said I love you." He stated. "That made me sad, a lot."
Chae reached for Wonpil's hands, intertwining them together.
"I'm sorry... I shouldn't have exist in your life. You could have live a better life without me."
"Even if I die, it would be because of loving you, and that's okay."
Wonpil smiled.
That might be his last smile.
