Lia stayed in front of the window, even long after Soobin left, releasing countless of desperate sighs. "Are you just gonna stay there..or..?" a familiar voice said from behind her. Lia was startled, and looked back immediately.

"Its you..." she sighed. Yes, it was the death angel. "What did you come here for? It's been 2 years since I last saw you, and I never got your name.." Lia stated. Seeing Soobin again made her down, a tight feeling in her heart that she couldn't comprehend. The angel smiled, "I'm Chan. Bang Chan. But that doesn't concern you." Chan said.

"Why are you just standing here watching him leave? Go after him!" the continued. "I.. can't.." Lia uttered out. "What? Why? Didn't you want to have 3 years to get him back? This was YOUR choice!" The angel argued.

"I know.. I know.. I just.."

"You just..?" Chan parroted.

"I don't want to ruin his life. Besides, he has a girlfriend." Lia sighed bitterly. Chan really wanted to snort, he wanted to laugh, but it's against the law to tell Lia that Soobin and Eunji broke up, so he remained still.

"Jisu-ah, you know that if you don't get him by the next few months, you do know what is going to happen.." Chan sighed. Lia remained silent, so the angel continued. "You do realize you're going to be going to hell right?" he reminded.

Lia froze. Right. How could she have forgotten? Staying still and processing this information, Lia sighed, "That's fine. It's okay.."

The angel was taken aback. With widened eyes, he tried to change her mind, "Lia! Why?! Don't you want to live again?" he exclaimed. "I did." she corrected. Chan let out a gasp, "What is that supposed to mean?"

"It's fine if I go to hell. As long as he's happy." Lia stated sternly, still in a river of her own tears and burying her head on her palms though.

"But he's not.." Chan blurted out.

"What?" Lia perked her head up from her palms, but the angel was gone.

"Oh fuck no! Why did I say that!!" Chan scolded himself once he has vanished back to heaven. "Oh my god jyp is going to kill me!" he groaned, frustrated. After all, he trained to be an angel for 7 years, if he looses his job, that's very unfortunate. "You're so stupid, you know that, Chan?" he scolded himself, hitting his head a couple times.

Lia was overthinking. She was in her room, bawling her eyes out, not acknowledging anything around her. As she wasn't focusing, Lia bumped into a bunch of boxes. Boxes she hasn't unpacked yet ever since her and Yeji moved into the new house.

She fell unto the pile of boxes, her hand landing on something furry and soft. Lia was curious of what it was, so she took it out.

It was the bear. The same exact teddy bear Soobin got her when they went to the amusement park. That causes Lia to cry even more, memories coming back to her head.

Taking the bear up to her room, she closed the door behind her, not even locking it since she's too overwhelmed with emotions. Lia sat on the bed and brought the bear in front of her. She stroked it's head gently and chuckled bitterly, "I guess I am meant to die, aren't i?"

"See you tomorrow!" Yeonjun yelled from the car. "Drive safely!!" Yeji called back, blowing a kiss at her boyfriend as she waved at his car that was driving off.

Turning her heels, Yeji skipped to the front door and unlocked it, stepping in, she got an odd feeling. Yeji knew something isn't right. It's a hunch, but she ran up to her best friend's room door and heard her crying.

Yeji brought her hand up to the door handle but retreated. Lia probably needs some alone space right at the moment. So instead, yeji stood there and eavesdrop. She knows its wrong, but she just- cant help it. Lia has been hiding something all these years, and this was the last straw. Yeji had to get to the bottom of this.

Placing her ear against the wall, Yeji wasn't prepared on what she was about to hear.

"He loves her, doesn't he? I'm just a bother am I?"

"Once these 3 years are over, I'll go to hell.. how about yeji? Who will tell her to turn off the air conditioner, who will make her food when she's lazy? Who will look after the house when she's out on dates? Who will be her best friend...?"

"What does she mean by that?" Yeji mumbled inaudibly.

"Why am I sad? Didn't I want to die? Isn't that why i tried suiciding years ago?"

"Who am I kidding.. this is my fault. If i've never tried to suicide in the first place, none of this would happen. I wouldn't have to meet that jyp guy and get another chance to live for 3 years to get him back."

"Actually, if I would've picked the dying option instead, maybe none of this would happen.."

"I hope in a few months Yeji can forget about me, and Soobin can live happily with Eunji."

"Eunji?? Soobin broke up with her 3 years ago!" Yeji muttered.

"I hope that they can move on when I leave this earth.."

Yeji had enough. She opened the door, "what is that supposed to mean?" she exclaimed, eyes welding up in tears. "Are you telling me you're going to die?" Yeji continued.

"Oh- uh, Yeji- hehe nothing i was.. um.. just.. reading something!" Lia tried to cover up what she was saying, taking a piece of tissue to wipe her tears. Yeji raised a brow, "I see no book." She pointed out.

"Ummmm..."

"Jisu there's no use in lying. I know what I heard." Yeji groaned. "....how much did you hear...?" Lia uttered out.

"Everything. I heard everything."

Knowing her friend can see right through her, Lia sighed, "come here." She said as she patted the space beside her. "I can explain." Lia continued.

That day, Lia told Yeji everything. Absolutely everything. No more secrets.
