You arrived home to the sound of the oven ticking. Knowing that your boyfriend, Tae, is already home.
Not even sparing him a glance, you headed straight to your room, changed your clothes, and plopped on the bed feeling the cool sheets against your warm, bare skin.
Minutes after, you felt the bed sink as Tae laid beside you. You pretended to be asleep although, you couldn't help but listen to what he was telling you.
"Jagiya, I know you're going through a lot these days but please know that I am always here for you. You will never be alone as long as I am here; so just hang on for a little bit longer, okay? Saranghae"
Of course, he wasn't expecting an answer from you because he thinks you are already asleep. With that, he kissed your forehead and finally drifted off to sleep.
Tears streamed down your face as memories flashed back in your head. You remembered how happy you were back then when you and Tae first got together. You used to be carefree and forgot every single problem you had.
Crying, you thought, "How could I possibly tell him? I can't afford to see him suffer any longer." You jumped out of bed, and made the worst decision ever. And you knew that you were going to regret it after.
The next day, Tae woke up to the sight of an empty bed. He didn't feel you beside him, but instead found a piece of paper on your side of the bed where you used to lay. He quickly took it into his hands and read the letter you wrote for him last night.
"Jagiya, I know that by the time you read this, I won't be by your side anymore. It's just that things have been very difficult for me and I do not want to drag you into my problems. I feel really bad because I think that all I am bringing you is sadness - "
He didn't finish reading the letter because he was already crying. He quickly rushed to the nearest possible place where he might be able to see you. The hospital.
He saw your mother outside your hospital room with makeup smudged on her face and tears filled with sadness. Tae fell down on his knees as soon as he entered the room and saw the doctor attempting to revive your almost, dead body. But it was too late.
"Time of death: 10:03 am," the doctor announced. Tae was completely devastated of what happened. He can't help but remember his promise to you - that he'll marry you when you'll be all healed from your illness.
He sat beside your hospital bed with a sheet laid over your body, when the door opened and a nurse brought in a newly born baby."Our baby survived," he said in a weak yet happy voice. He remembered the letter you left him and continued to read it.
"Before I came home yesterday, I found out from the doctor that I only had one more day left to live. He told me deliver the baby as soon as possible, but there would be certain risks. Either one of us survives or no one at all. But, I was more than willing to risk my own life for our daughter; so, I have a strong feeling that she will make it. I have been a fighter of my illness for two years now, and I am so thankful that you've been with me through thick or thin. You always stayed by my side and there was never a time you made me feel alone. And now is my chance to repay you with the kindness you brought me, with our little angel. Please take care of our daughter. She's the only one you have right now. I'll see you soon my love. I'll be resting now. I love you so much"
- Jagiya
With that, Tae looked at his daughter's angelic face as she smiled at him.
"I guess I'll never be alone."
