"Please, I needed someone to know. Don't tell anyone, I've told the police. If- if I don't call you back today… please give them the information I gave you." 

"Yes, Hyojong… I gotta go." 

"Wooseok." There was silence on the other line. 

"I wish we could be friends." 

"In a different world, under different circumstances." 

.

"I-i don't know if I can do this. How do I really know if Hui is even alive?! I have nothing to go off of except fucking pictures that are who knows how old! I want out okay, I can give you money. I can make enough to get him back." 

Hiu's boss stood from his desk. 

"There's no out, you don't get to leave. Your little boyfriend wanted to leave too. Said 'it's too much I can't keep hurting the people I love blah blah blah'. " 

"I've am ready ratted you out. See how far you get now." 

I turned from him in rage. As I headed to the door a gun butt contacted my head. I fell to the ground hard and blacked out. 

.

It's ringing in my ears and it won't stop. What is it, it's too painful to open my eyes. My chest hurts like someone has sat on it. 

My face was slapped and my eyes shot open. I welcomed the dull pain that coursed through my skull. I was in a vehicle, moving fast. There were bumps in the road that caused me to groan out. I was in a back seat, two men on either side of me. I wore a suit but I could make out what was underneath. 

Shit, its ringing, its heavy and hot. God please tell me it isn't a bomb. What the hell, they're sending me to murder hundreds against my will. How do I get out?! 

The car stopped and I shot forward. I was grabbed by my arms and pulled out. 

  "Don't do anything stupid." Was all I was told before being drug away from the car. A nice office building came into view. Once we were close enough to get stares the grips on me were gone. I tried to remain calm, there wasn't anything saying how much time the bomb had. The ringing however was now a low buzz-like him hum. I could only assume that time was running low from the way we rushed into the building. The men leading me pushed through the glass doors. A receptionist greeted us, they ignored her and walked past. We took the stairs, I struggled to keep up. The weight of the bomb contraption around me was heavier than you could imagine. The heat emitted from it quickly began to burn my skin. I knew I was going to die, if I said anything I would be shot. 

I held in tears that brimmed my eyes. Every memory I had with Hui filled my mind. I saw our lazy nights in bed, face to face. Our long talks and cuddles. Our fights where we screamed and swore at each other. His tears. Staining my pillow as I held him. My tears, falling onto his shoulder as I clutched onto him. His kisses like butterflies, gentle and soft. His hugs, warm sweet smelling hugs that put you to sleep. 

I knew now that I could never hate him. I could not loathe Lee Hoe Taek for being. Only for leaving me alone. 

It's amazing, the thing called forgiveness. Its takes so little to say things you'll regret. Yet so much to forgive those unforgivable things. I forgive you Lee Hoe Taek, for getting caught up in this lifestyle. For leaving when I needed you. And for loving me so unapologetically that I grew so dependent. 

I can't wait to see your vibrant soul smiling back at me. To run my hands through your silky hair. To hold you for forever and to never let go of you again. To call you mine again and it lasts for a lifetime. To spend every last second of my being and existence with you. 

I call you my love and I mean it unconditionally. I plan to cherish every piece of you.
