"This can't be it," Seungwoo's legs were trembling, with him finally sinking to the ground.

"No, no. Eunbi," he caressed Eunbi's jawline gently. Tears were spotted streaming down his cheeks like a waterfall.

"Mommy," Dongpyo tip-toed to see his lovely Mommy, "Why're you sleeping, Mommy?Let's go home," he tugged on Eunbi's sleeves.

Seungwoo took Dongpyo in his arms, patting his head gently, "Dongpyo," he sniffed, "Mommy has go to a better place,"

"Why didn't she bring me along?" Dongpyo pouted.

Hearing Dongpyo's statement made Seungwoo's tears streaming even more, "She's gone, Dongpyo. Eunbi's gone," Seungwoo uttered, with a cracked but loud voice.

"Mommy's dead, Dongpyo,"

Dongpyo's eyes widened, but mostly in confusion, "But, Mommy's doing fine just now,"

The middle-aged doctor stepped forward to face Seungwoo, "I'm sorry, sir,"

"We've tried our best to save Mrs. Eunbi," the doctor turned his gaze to the ground, unable to face Seungwoo because of the tense atmosphere.

Seungwoo hung his head low, feeling nothing but pain inside. He felt like crying, but for the sake of Dongpyo and Eunbi, who was surely not willing to see himself weeping over her. He took a deep breath and exhale slowly.

"It's okay," he smiled blankly, "I-i will take care of her funeral later,"

The doctor nodded slowly, "And we'll take care of the rest of things that are needed to be done first," he tapped on Seungwoo's shoulder gently, "We're very sorry,"

Seungwoo didn't reply. Instead, he took Dongpyo with him and went to the door. He turned his head around, facing Eunbi's lifeless body.

"Goodbye,"

1 year later

Seungwoo plugged his airpods and listened to the song once again, "I think this is enough," he pulled out his airpods.

He continued to jot down the lyrics and notes onto the paper. He took the paper and held it, facing the ceiling. Another wonderful job, he thought. Seungwoo made another copies of the lyrics and put them into a file.

"They'll come tomorrow to listen to the song, and I've got everything ready. Lyrics, MR, all done," Seungwoo streched his arms to the air and sighed, "Aigoo, I need rest,"

Seungwoo now worked for a boy group for their upcoming album. Things have become smoother than before and he have become composed like before. He walked towards his drawer and took something out. Seungwoo opened the folded paper and read it. He felt like his eyes were now moist with hot tears. It was a letter from late Eunbi.

Hello, Seungwoo :)

By the time you read this letter, I must've gone, well, from the world. I'm sorry for not telling you about my disease. It's because of me being afraid to tell you. I'm afraid that you would worry too much about it, even though it's not your matter. I hope you forgive me. Oh and also, I hope you're doing well now, and happy of course. Dongpyo is still with you, right? Please take good care of him. Please give him the affection and attention that he deserve, that I was unable to give him just because I'm a selfish and a jerk. I was mad that he didn't come from our seeds, and that me hate him very much. But now, I feel that I was a dumbass for not realizing that, although you've told me many time. I'm very sorry.

Seungwoo, you know that I love you very much, don't you? I hope that you live a happy life despite me not being able to live that life with you. I regret my past actions, and I hope that you forgive me? :) Be happy for me, please.

Seungwoo, don't be afraid to find new love in your life. A good man like you should have a jubilant love life. Don't worry, I'll always be with you, praying for your forever joy and happiness.

From, someone who love you dearly, Kwon Eunbi.

Tears finally escaped from Seungwoo's eyes, streaming down his pale cheeks like a waterfall, "Idiot,"

"If only you'd told me about your health condition," he sobbed, "I could help you,"

"Daddy," Dongpyo called for Seungwoo sweetly. Hearing Dongpyo's voice made Seungwoo automatically wiped his tears in an instant. He couldn't dare to let Dongpyo see him crying.

"Oh, Dongpyo, let's go home. I've finished my work," Seungwoo tried to flash his brightest smile.

"Okay," Dongpyo hummed happily.

Seungwoo looked at Dongpyo with a smile on his face, "It would be perfect if you were here too, Eunbi,"
