dongju headed towards the bench excitedly, where he would be meeting eunra. when he found it empty and unoccupied, he frowned suspiciously. eunra usually arrived earlier than he does.

he looked around, confused as he sat down on the bench, wondering where the girl went. he whistled a tune while he tapped his foot on the pavement, waiting for eunra. after a few minutes passed and she hasn't arrived, dongju started feeling worried. he tried texting her, but got no reply. anxious, he decided to look around to find the girl. dongju didn't know where to look for at first, but then he had an idea where to find her. he walked through the city and towards his destination; eunra's house.

on his way there, he felt a feeling of dread in his stomach. perhaps it's not a good idea to go to eunra's house again. the last time he went there wasn't really a pleasant experience. but then, if he didn't go, something might've happened to eunra. the thought pushed him to walk faster, and soon enough, he reached her house.

it was strangely quiet there. dongju decided that the silence is not a good sign. he quietly crept closer to the house, and spotted a figure lying on the ground. when he tiptoed closer, he noticed that the figure is bleeding from their head. dongju gasped and rushed to aid the figure. but what broke his heart was that he recognized the figure.

it was eunra.

"eunra?" dongju gasped, unable to comprehend the sight in front of him. he hugged her tightly, scared of what might happen to her. "no, no, no. what happened to you?"

eunra coughed blood onto dongju's hands, but he didn't care. he only wanted to hold her tightly, only wanted to stay with her for the rest of her life.

"m-my parents..." eunra coughed. "went a bit too far. t-they called me fat and such, and decided that i wasn't a good daughter for them. and s-so...this happened..."

"no," dongju shook his head, holding eunra tightly. "n-no...stay with me, eunra...please..."

but dongju knew she couldn't stay. she was bleeding from her head after all. blood trailed down her cheeks as he held her, crying and pleading for her to stay. eunra held dongju's cheeks, smiling sadly.

"i--" eunra coughed. "i love you, dongju."

then her hand fell, hanging limply beside her.

dongju burst into sobs.

"i-i love y-you too, eunra."
