the day after chaeyoung's funeral i can't get myself to do anything. all i can do is lay in bed and think about her. a knock at my door brings me out of my trance, should i answer it? slowly, i get up, still not wanting to face the outside world, still scared to meet anyone who isn't chaeyoung. when i open the door no one stands there, the only thing i see is a note, one that says my name. i recognise this handwriting too clearly, all the little doodles just remind me of her. confused, i shut the door, letter in hand i trudge over to the couch, opening it.

"dear taemin,
by the time you read this i'll be long gone, i don't know where but i'll be some place else. i never wanted to hurt you, but if i told you i was planning on leaving you'd try and stop me. you would stop me. i couldn't have that. i loved you, i really did. more than anyone. you meant a lot to me and it hurt to go but i had to do this, for me. i hope you can see that. there was so much more to me that you didn't know. i love you lee taemin, always and forever.
- Yoon Chaeyoung."
and with them words written on paper i'm in tears. my mind goes blank and the only thing i can think of is her. she didn't die, if it wasn't her than who was it? she wanted to go. she wanted to leave me. my heart can't take this. i cant move, i just want her to come back to me. please, chaeyoung. if you're out there please come back to me.
