changkyun felt like his stomach was being ripped apart. his legs gave in, and he collapsed into a heap on the ground. through his blurry vision, he could see jooheon scream and try to rush towards him, but he was held back by the men.

jooheon felt the same pain changkyun was feeling. as excruciating as it was, the only thing in his mind was to get to changkyun — his soulmate, his best friend, the love of his life, his everything. "let me go!" he sobbed, flailing his arms in a futile attempt to escape the men's grip.

suddenly, someone began to laugh. they laughed maniacally, and they laughed until their throat was hoarse. "i've been waiting to do that ever since i met that disgusting rat. i suppose today really is my lucky day!"

jooheon stopped fighting, utterly shocked. he knew that voice.

minhyuk commanded, "release him."

the men let jooheon go, and he stumbled over to changkyun's bleeding body.

"changkyun! changkyun, can you hear me? i'm gonna get help, okay! you're not leaving me!" jooheon cried.

"you lied." changkyun whispered.

tears spilled down jooheon's cheeks. "i'm so sorry, changkyun. i'm so sorry, please hang on." he whirled to face minhyuk. "you shot him!" he accused his old friend.

minhyuk grinned. "indeed i did! and now you can recognize me as your only soulmate."

"i hate you!" jooheon exploded, clutching changkyun close to his chest. "i'll never love you!"

"is that so? we'll see what happens when he bleeds to death, then." minhyuk replied, amused.

turning back to changkyun, jooheon sobbed into his shoulder. "changkyun, please don't leave me."

"jooheon," croaked the bleeding man. "i'm sorry that you couldn't tell me the truth."

"no, i'm sorry," wailed the older. "i should have stopped, i shouldn't have broken your trust!"

"just listen," changkyun breathed with difficulty. "i love you."

"i love you too. holy shit, i fucking love you. i love you so much." jooheon responded tearfully, feeling his own heart weakening by the second. his heart began sending pain through his chest as he looked at his lover who's heart light began to dim. "why would you do this to him?" jooheon demanded minhyuk, his voice harsh.

minhyuk smirked. "if i couldn't have you, no one could have you."

minhyuk turned around, his gun lying on the floor, his hands trembling with fear and rejection. he wanted to cry because he knew what the results would be, he wanted to collapse and spill out all the tears he's been holding back. but he needed to stay strong, so he began walking away.

"changkyun." jooheon whispered, his voice shaking. "changkyun answer me. LIM CHANGKYUN."  jooheon screamed, his chest becoming heavy from sobbing. the heart light was only dimming more.

changkyun's eyes peeled open and he chuckled, coughing blood. "i was taking a nap. i feel tired from waking up and following you."

jooheon sniffled, wiping the tears from his eyes. "why did you follow me you idiot, you're so stupid."

changkyun laughed weakly, a smile on his face. "i'm in this state and you're still scolding me." changkyun put his hand on jooheon's cheek, his thumb wiping away tears. "don't cry."

hearing that only made jooheon cry harder. he looked at changkyun's heart. there was almost no light anymore. time was running out.

"kiss me." changkyun mumbled. "kiss me one more time. for the last time."

nodding, jooheon swallowed back excessive tears and he leaned in like he has done a million times before. changkyun's lips responded weakly, but they shared their last gentle kiss.

"i love you, too much to express in words." changkyun said.

"me too, i love you too." jooheon wept, looking at his lover.

"promise me you'll stop crying." changkyun smiled.

and with that, changkyun's grip on jooheon's cheek released, his hand falling beside his limp body. his eyes began to flutter close and changkyun's last words spilled out. "i love you, so so much."

his head fell to the side, and their heart lights faded, together til the very end.
