"I'm sorry we did everything we can do but it was late, he was dead on arrival."

The doctor said.

Chanyeol cried kneeling down the floor.

Chanyeol tap his mom's shoulder.

"It's not true son, It's just a prank"

Their mom said. Chanyeol shook his head.

"Baekhyun will not do this kind of joke mom"

Chanyeol said.

"He's such a joker, he's just kidding, he's optimistic, I don't believe he can do it"

Their mom said.

"But he did mom"

Chanyeol said. Their mom slapped him.

"I don't believe you! You're lying! How could you lie on me?!"

She shouted.

"Mom.."

Chanyeol just cried.

"Baekhyun... You must wake up, it's a prank right? Right son?"

She said.

You were silently crying as you were watching them.

You go out to give them privacy.

"I haven't seen you for many years, I never thought this will happen, it's my fault, I'm sorry Baekhyun"

You cried.

"It's not your fault, so don't blame yourself"

It's been a week since they buried Baekhyun.

Their mom is still crying so hard and keeps on drinking wine every night.

Chanyeol was worried about her mom but he can't stop her.

While she was drunken, Chanyeol is on her side trying to stop her.

"It's my fault..."

She started before drinking the wine.

"No mom, it's his choice,"

Chanyeol said.

"I never ask him if he's fine, I never notice his pain"

Their mom said.

"It's because he never show it"

Chanyeol said.

"He never told us because no one ask him"

Their mom said. Then their mom collapsed.

"Mom! "

Chanyeol is shaking her. Chanyeol thought she was just drunken so he put her in her bed.

Then,
It was 9:00 am in the morning, Chanyeol noticed that his mom is still sleeping.

"Mom! "

Chanyeol shakes her but she didn't responded.

He checked her pulse but he felt nothing.

He checked her breathing but she's not breathing.

He shake her again.

"Mom!"

He tried to wake her up. He looked on her skin but it was pale and her lips is darkened.

"Mom!"

Chanyeol cried.
