"Hyo-jong, are you dressed!?" My mother yells.

I yell that I'm coming. We ride to the funeral home with a special flag. Were allowed to pass traffic.

Inside is filled with your weeping family. I see your older sister crying. She looks at me with disgust.

"Why is he here?" More people turn to look at me. They glare when I never did anything wrong. I never hurt you, you hurt yourself. I wanted to stop you, I did.

I run to the bathroom, I clutch my chest and lower my body to the floor.

I look up you are there, holding my shoulder.

"Hui, I thought you were dead?"

Your face distorts into a spiteful look.

"You will never forget about me. You can't move on."

I cry because it's true.

You hold me as we sit on your back porch. Your mom in the house yelling at your sister for being out so late.

"Hyo-jong, I love you. I love being with you. Be mine?"

I nod and blush, a sweet kiss crosses my cheek.

"I'm Yours, Hui."

"Forever?"

"Forever and always."

I cry, sobs escape me. I refuse to hold them in.

"You're weak without me, I made you everything you are now. Now that I'm gone you'll go back to being nothing." You whisper in my ear as your lip brushes across my right cheek. I turn feeling your lips on mine for a mere second before you're gone.

It was it.

I joined everyone in the main room. We bow our heads and pray for you. It's been two years.

We gave up that you were still out there. An empty casket stands on an altar. I know you're not there. If you were I would finally be free from you. But your soul isn't going underground. It will remain beside me until the day I die. Reminding me of you, us, what we had. I can never forget you, your plans never fail. You bastard.
