《我明白》-[w.jh]

[21: dying]

It had been four months since the day Jun had went into the Otherworld, got his heart broken, and decided he would move on.

He did, eventually. For the first month he had been trying his very best to not think of her, and eventually he rarely ever did. He still did see her in his dreams sometimes, but other than that, he was fine.

The second month was the month where Jun was scouted on the streets to be a model for a famous modelling company. They admired his beauty, his looks, just him in general, and were considering asking him to join their company as a model.

Of course, that was good for him. He had never really had that much of a stable job, switching jobs every now and then, and the modelling company would pay him pretty well if he was employed. He immediately submitted his resume, and, to his great surprise, was employed on the spot when the manager saw him for the first time.

That was when he met Hyunri.

They started out as friends and colleagues, because Hyunri was also a model working with him for a magazine cover. However, in the third month, they officially started dating, and Jun was happy that he had finally moved on from his heartbreak.

Hyunri wasn't like Seoyul, but she actually listened to Jun's failed love story. She understood that he was still trying his best to forget and move on, and gave him space until he was finally ready. Jun told her everything about Seoyul(except for the fact that she came from another universe), and that he had loved her more than any other woman.

Jun was happy with Hyunri. She would comfort him, and always help him when he was facing difficulties. They were dating, but he never dated her the way he had with Seoyul—sleeping together, kissing, hugging. He had never been that intimate with Hyunri, and didn't feel ready to even kiss her yet.

He wanted to wait, although he felt that Hyunri was probably the one for him. He felt much better now, and hoped very much that he would never feel that same heartbreak again.

In the fourth month, Jun and Hyunri were still together. They were out in the park on evening and Jun never really thought about Seoyul much. It felt good to be free from the heartbreak.

Until he saw someone familiar in the park.

"Minghao?" Jun stared at him. He didn't look quite as grand anymore, in fact, he looked tired.

"Junhui! Finally, I found you! I was going crazy thinking you moved out..." Minghao started blabbering, until he saw Hyunri shyly standing by his side. "Who's that?"

"Oh, this is Hyunri. She's my..." he hesitated to tell him, "girlfriend."

Minghao pursed his lips. "I see. It's quite nice that you've moved on so fast."

"Why are you looking for me?"

"Ah, yes. I was wondering if you could help me with something. I can't seem to do it, and I thought you might be able to." Minghao looked anxious as he spoke.

Hyunri tugged on his arm. "Jun, who is he?"

Jun smiled at her. "Don't worry. He's just a friend of mine. I haven't seen him in a while. Why don't you go there and buy some drinks? I'll come back in a while. I promise I'll tell you everything."

Hyunri nodded, casting a wary look at Minghao, and left.

"What do you need me to do? I'm not half human like you are, and I'm definitely not.." he stopped. "Seoyul."

He rarely said her name anymore. He felt his heart threatening to tear again.

"She's dying, Junhui. Seoyul is dying." Minghao blurted out. He looked like he was on the verge of tears. "Yullie is dying because of the curse, and we don't know how to break it. I've done everything I could. I even got one of the most experienced specialists to come check her, but even he can't see the problem."
