      Haesoo stared at the food with her puffy eyes without having any appetite to eat. Sunghoon and the other came towards her with more food in their hand, served it on the small table before gathering around it. Sunghoon took a seat next to Haesoo, take the spoon, and feed her but she refused to open her mouth.

"Haesoo, you haven't eaten for several hours."

Haesoo wiped her tears and shook her head.
"I don't have any appetite to eat, Sunghoon."

"We wouldn't eat if you refuse to eat," Yedam spoke up, still not touching the food even though he was hungry. The others nodded, waited for Haesoo to eat.

Haesoo finally nodded, was about to take the spoon from Sunghoon but he wanted to feed her. He took a spoon of bibimbap, feed her once she opened her mouth. Jisung started to eat, tried to entertain the moment by exchanging jokes with Yedam. Haesoo didn't give any reaction to them, she kept zoning out like she was alone in her world.

Sunghoon took a sip of the chicken soup, and feed her. "It tastes good, right?"

Haesoo nodded and fixed her eyes on her phone as Jay kept spamming texts and calls ever since they separated from the fashion show. Sunghoon immediately declined his call, turned off the phone just to make Haesoo stop thinking about the guy who will get married in 2 days. He then caught her attention by handing more foods to her and telling her to taste them. Haesoo just nodded, doing what he asked to because she knew that he tried to entertain her.

"Sunghoon, about what I said---"

Sunghoon shook his head,
"You don't mean what you have just said because you were so shocked about the marriage. You couldn't control yourself and it lead you to say everything that cross your mind without knowing the meaning behind it."

"But I will still help you to heal from this, Haesoo."

"Try to make yourself fall in love with me is not the right way."

"I have said to you earlier, right?"

"You shouldn't force yourself to fall in love with someone." He adds more foods to her plate and waited for her to finish them. Haesoo lowered her head,

"Thank you, Sunghoon."

He chuckled, "No problem, Haesoo."

"Jiyoon!" Hyuri waved her hand to Jiyoon happily, quickly asked her to take her seat, and enjoyed the food with them. At the same time, Soohyun followed Jiyoon from behind, shyly greeted Sunghoon and the others at the dining table.

"I'm sorry for coming."

Yedam shook his head, "You don't need to. Please take a sit with us."

Soohyun took a glance at Haesoo and smiled when the girl just nodded, letting her eat with them. Sunghoon watched Haesoo silently, couldn't help but adore how kind-hearted she was to the person who used to hurt her in the past. He fell harder for her personality, and it made his heart beats so fast for her again. He couldn't think how strong she was. Even though Soohyun did a lot of terrible things to her, she would still forgive the girl and let her befriend them.

Once Haesoo met his gaze, he smiled and shifted his gaze away.

"Haesoo, are you alright?" Jiyoon asked her curiously as she suddenly remembered the news that was trending on the internet. Sunghoon shook his head, gave a sign to Jiyoon to change the topic.

Haesoo nodded,
"I'm good. Thank you for asking."

Soohyun spoke up, "Someone pressed the bell."

Before Sunghoon could walk towards the door, Haesoo immediately stopped him.

"Don't open the door."

Sunghoon raised his eyebrows and after a minute, he finally understood.

"Let's finish the food."

~~

The next day was supposed to be the third day for the task but Haesoo decided to take a day off and stay at home because she knew that, once she met Jay in the building, he would try everything to keep her close. It's better to run away instead of falling for his words again. Haesoo also received a lot of texts from Mr.Jeffery and Ms.Angel, they kept asking her the reason she was absent, but she never replied to any of them. So, she just let her phone ring while watching a movie on Netflix and cooking in the kitchen.

"This is the food delivery." Haesoo raised her eyebrows in confusion. She quickly opened the door, was surprised to see the food delivery. He hand the food to her, and without wasting his time, he bowed to her respectfully before riding his bike away. Haesoo looked at the food in clueless, she then served it to the table and called Sunghoon.

"Did you send me food?"

Sunghoon replied, "No, Haesoo. Did someone send you food again?"

"Yes..."

"Haesoo, I have something to say."

"Yes, Sunghoon?"

"I will lead a surgery with my senior today. It is high-risk surgery. Please wish me luck."

Haesoo gasped, "Do your best, Sunghoon. I'm so proud of you."

"Let's enjoy our time tonight. I will call you when my shift has ended."

"I will wait for your call then."

~~

Jay fixed his eyes on every picture of him and Nami that kept spreading on the internet. The picture of him wearing the jacket on her chest and holding each other's hands received a lot of positive comments from everyone. He read the comment one by one, got so disgusted at how people kept saying how husband material Jay to Nami was. Jay put his phone down, pinched his head in frustration when Haesoo still hasn't come to the company to receive her third task. Once someone knocked on the door, Jay immediately tilted his head and waited for the person to come in.

He fooly thought it was Haesoo.

Nami went into the office,
"SHone and PJS students are on the 3rd floor. Should we greet them and give them a lot of support? The night festival will be held in less than 2 days. They must be so nervous--"

"Just do it by yourself." Jay grabbed his jacket. Without wasting any time, he left his office.
Nami still followed him from behind,

"Jay, my family has already prepared everything for tomorrow. Do you want to take a look at our wedding dress?" Nami grabbed his hand, interlocked it with her. Jay was about to stop her but stopped when everyone watched them. He just let her do what she wants while waiting for the elevator reach to level.

"Do you want to take a look at our wedding auditorium? It's so massive. They decorate it so well."

Again, no response from Jay.

"Jay, I'm asking you."

"Nami, just leave me alone." Jay groaned, immediately got into the elevator as it reaches his level. Before Nami could follow him, he shut the door so fast and left her alone.

Jay drove his car in speed, headed to Haesoo's house just to pick her up, and brought her to the building. He knew that the girl was absent because she wanted to stop seeing him. Even though she has already been informed about the reason she was absent in the PJS's group chat, he would never believe her words.

Jay quickly parked his car in front of her house and got off from the car as he caught Haesoo who had just come home after buying something at the store nearby her neighborhood. Haesoo caught him as well. She fastened her step and was failed when Jay was faster than her. He held her hand, put everything that she bought on the floor before bringing her to the car.

"Let me go," Haesoo muttered without looking straight into his eyes. Jay stopped on his way,
"I will never let you go." He gripped her wrist.

"Jay, are you having fun doing two-timing?"

Jay rolled his eyes, "Listen to me first."

"I don't understand you, Jay."

"You always come to me even though you have a fiance. You always say those flirty words to me and cling to me."

"You're going to get married and you're still proposing me to be your wife. Which one do you want, Jay?"

"Can you be specific? Tell me what do you want from me."

"Are you doing this because it is fun to see me crying over you? Is it fun to see me getting revenge after never appreciating your effort and leaving you for someone I used to like?"

"Is it fun, Jay?" She pushed him on the shoulder and took a step away.

"Is that the reason you flirt with me? you propose me to be your wife? you said that you love me?"

"Do you badly want to see me hurting after believing your words?"

"Are you happy to see me suffering after knowing about your marriage now?"

Haesoo pushed him again, suddenly cried right in front of him. Jay shook his head, kept approaching her even though she always pushed him away. He pulled the girl closer to him, hugged her tightly, never wanting to let her go.

"I love you so fucking bad."

"I would sacrifice myself to keep you safe."

"Even though I will be dying or getting hurt,"

"I would still fight to keep you safe."

"If there is just me and Nami in this entire galaxy,"

"I would still wait for you to come, just get married to you."

"What else should I do to show you that I love you so much, Haesoo?"

"You have no idea how much I want to keep you mine. How much I want to see you wake up next to me as my wife. How much I want to see you smiling at me again. How much I want to hold your hand while spending our time together."

Jay hugged her tighter, "I don't want to get married to anyone else, Haesoo."

"I just want you. It's always you."

"I love you since we were 19. I love you since the first time I saw you."

"I love you, Haesoo."

"I will never hurt you, Haesoo."

Haesoo shook her head,
"Jay, what is the reason you get engaged to Nami if you love me?"

"What is the reason you want to get married to her if you love me?"

"I saw how sweet you were with her. Every
pictures that keep spreading on the internet, I saw all of them."

"I don't understand. I feel like a fool."

Jay brushed her hair, "Why is it so hard for you to tell me that you love me too, Haesoo?"

"Is it too hard to say that you fall in love with me?"

Haesoo sobbed in tears, "How should I say my feeling to you if you have a ring on your finger, Jay?"

"I don't want to look bad. Being the third wheel in someone's relationship is not a good thing, Jay."

"What else should I do? I have nothing to do other than just keeping everything in my heart."

"You're going to get married. It's my fault for noticing you too late."

"I want to forget you, Jay."

"And you should stop coming to me."

"Just for your wife's sake."

"Don't ruin your marriage life because of me."

"We both know it's wrong."

Jay shook his head, cried because he didn't want to let her go.

"Haesoo, don't forget me."

"Please. I'm begging you."

"Don't forget me."

"Just love me."

Haesoo broke the hug, looked at him with tears rolling on her cheeks.
"Love you when you're already married? I will be the one who gets hurt the most."

"No matter if I get married to Nami or not, I will still love you."

Haesoo sighed, "Jay, it's time for us to accept that we are not destined to be together."

"Even though we have a feeling on each other, you are still not meant for me. We never destined to be together."

"Its fate."

"Don't you get what I said to you?"

"There's no miracle in us."

Jay cupped her jaw, pulled her closer.

"I will do everything to get married to you."

"Listen to me. Keep my words."

"I will do everything to be with you."

He stroked her cheeks,
"Don't forget me. Don't ever move on from me."

"Don't ever fall in love with someone else."

"Wait for me to come."

Haesoo groaned, "I don't understand, Jay. Why did you get married to Nami if you love me?"

"Just say the truth. What is the reason for the marriage?"

"It's a force--"

His words were interrupted when Haesoo suddenly received a call from Sunghoon. Jay sighed heavily, just watching the girl who was talking to the guy.

"Haesoo..."

"Why, Sunghoon? What's wrong with your voice?" Haesoo asked him curiously making Jay want to listen to their conversation.

"The surgery...."

"is failed."

"I failed to save someone's life."

"And it is just a kid."

"8 years old kid who just wants to know the world."

"8 years old kid who is the strength to his mother."

"I failed to save the kid, Haesoo."

"How should I live happily after this?"

"I failed, Haesoo."

Tears dropped on her cheeks as Sunghoon cried on the phone. Jay looked at her anxiously, quickly grabbed her wrist when she suddenly lost her balance. He wrapped his arm around her shoulder, kept the girl closer to him.

"What's wrong, Haesoo?" He asked her curiously, wiping her tears on the cheeks.

"I want to meet Sunghoon."

Jay shook his head, "Why? Why do you want to go to him? You said that you have a feeling--"

"Jay, this is not the right time to talk about this."

"Sunghoon needs my help."

Jay refused to let her go, "But I need you more, Haesoo."

Jay grabbed her hand as she wanted to leave him.

"Haesoo, stay with me," Jay begged her.

"Jay, someone needs me."

"I need you too."

Haesoo took his hand away from her,
"Jay, I told you this is not the right time to talk about this."

"Then when will it be the right time? You will run away from me." He replied.

"Haesoo, do you want to forget me for real?"

"Jay, please." Haesoo shut her eyes and brushed her hair in frustration.

"Don't leave me."

"Jay, why are acting like this? I told you, someone needs me."

Jay hugged her from behind, "I'm scared."

"You will go to him and spend your time with him longer than me."

"And you will laugh with him. You will be happy with him. You will forget me for real."

"I'm scared if your heart will fall for him when you meet him."

"I don't want you to forget me."

"I'm scared, Haesoo."

Haesoo sighed heavily, "Let's talk about this next time. But first, I want to meet Sunghoon."

"How special Sunghoon is to you?" Jay still fought her back.

"Jay!" Haesoo lost her patient.

"Let's talk again next time."

"I promise. I will talk to you."

"Let me go."

"I want to meet Sunghoon."

Jay stays longer, still resting his head on her shoulder, "Haesoo, don't forget me."

"Please love me longer."

Haesoo replied,
"This is for your marriage's sake."

"I want to forget you for your marriage's sake."

"I'm doing this for you."

"But you have no idea what happened to me. You don't know the truth." Jay replied.

"Then tell me the truth."

Haesoo waited for him to speak but he just remained silent for almost 2 minutes, still hesitant to speak up.

"I need to go." As soon as Haesoo caught a taxi drove through the street, she quickly stopped the car.

Jay finally let her go, just watching her leave for Sunghoon.

~~

Haesoo rushed towards the group of a nurse who was gathering around the hallway. She pushed them to the other side, went in the front, and was surprised to see Sunghoon who got scolded by an elderly couple who were crying over their dead daughter. Sunghoon and his senior lowered their head, just stood in front of them while listening to their words.

"My pure daughter passed away because of you."

"I put so much hope. I keep praying for my daughter to be safe."

"But she passed away because of your careless mistake."

"She was just 8 years old."

"How can I live without her?"

The mother of the kid stood up, cried in sobbing while pushing Sunghoon causing him to bump into the wall.

Sunghoon remained silent, didn't even fight the woman even though she treated him so harshly.

"Why did you participate in this surgery?"

"You just got an intern. You're just a new kid."

"He doesn't have any experience. Why did you pick him as your partner?"

"My daughter passed away because of you." She pushed Sunghoon again.

"How dare you get to participate in this surgery when you're just a new kid here."

"My daughter passed away because of you."

"Keep this in your mind."

"It's because of you!"

Sunghoon cried, bowed as apologize.

"What's the point of apologizing? My daughter has gone forever."

The father of the kid stood up, pulled his wife away from hurting Sunghoon over and over.

She didn't care, crying louder and hitting Sunghoon just to let go of her anger.

Without wasting any time, Haesoo ran into the scene and pulled Sunghoon away from getting beaten by the old woman. He was surprised, shook his head, "Haesoo, you shouldn't butt into this problem."

Haesoo ignored him, talked to the mother of the kid.

"Stop hurting him."

"He has tried his best to save your daughter."

"I know him longer than everyone here. I know how kind-hearted he is. I know how good he is to everyone."

"Sunghoon is not a man who easily gives up on his dream. He studied so hard to be a surgeon. He always did a great job. He never failed to impress everyone."

"He called me earlier. He told me how much he wanted to save your kid. He told how much he wanted to keep your precious daughter alive."

"Do you think he is that bad to let your daughter pass away?"

"He tried his best. Don't question fate. If Sunghoon was not the one who will participate in the surgery, nothing will change the fate. The same thing will still happen."

"Why?"

"Because everything depends on god's trust and his decision. he indeed knows the best for us. everything that happens has their lessons."

"Please accept the fate. Don't question it."

"Don't blame anyone here."

"Everyone tried their best. Don't question someone's effort. You had no idea how to struggle they were behind your back."

The mother of the kid cried loudly, fell on her knee as she was still sad about the thing that happen to her.

"Sunghoon, are you okay?"

Haesoo approached him, slowly reached her hand to his cheeks, and stroked it gently. Sunghoon placed his hand on hers, cried as he got so hurt.

"Haesoo, it hurts."

Haesoo quickly brought him away and brought him into an empty room. She helped him to sit on the bed and dragged a chair before sitting in front of him.

"It's okay. You can cry." Sunghoon cried harder.

"It's my fault, Haesoo."

"Just if---"

Haesoo hugged him tightly, patted him on the back. Sunghoon didn't want to lose this gold moment, so he hugged her back with his head tucked on her shoulder. After a minute, Haesoo broke it off.

She patted him on the head, just like how he always did to her. She brushed his hair,

"You did great, Sunghoon."

"Everything you do,"

"I always feel proud of you."

"So, you did your best."

"You're the great surgeon in this world."

"You're the great surgeon I have ever met."

"So, cheer up."

"This will take a long time to heal."

"But I believe that,"

"You will be happy."

"And proud of yourself."

"You will be happy."

"With me."

"With Yedam, Jisung, and Hyuri."

"We will bring your smile again."

"You helped me at my worst."

"I want to help you at your worst too."

"You lend me your shoulder when I cry."

"I will lend you my shoulder when you cry."

"Even though I'm still traumatized about the past."

"I will let you touch me."

"I will get used to your touch."

"Because I know how much you like patting my head."

"So, after this. Pat my head with a sweet smile on your face, okay?"

Sunghoon wiped his tears and chuckled.

"Look at what you did to me." He spoke up.

"You make me fall harder for you again."

"And I will get hurt by it."

"Even though people keep saying that you're hurting me."

"I will never get hurt by it."

"But instead, I'm happy to be with you."

"Why should we remember about the worst memories if we create a lot of beautiful memories together, right?"

"Thank you so much, Haesoo."

"I love you so much." He hugged her tightly.

"Let's enjoy our time with Yedam. Jisung and Hyuri."

Haesoo adds, "Also, Jiyoon and Soohyun."

Sunghoon chuckled, gently poked her nose.

~~

"Jay Park from PJS and Jung Nami from SHone will get married today. There are a lot of people who came to their wedding. One of them is Angel William, the popular fashion designer around the world."

"The wedding will start in two hours. We can see Jay Park has just arrived at the wedding auditorium with his family." The camera pointed to Jay and his family who walked towards the auditorium elegantly.

Haesoo fixed her eyes on Jay who was wearing a black tuxedo on his body. She has to admit that he was so mesmerizing in the tuxedo. He looks greater than he used to be and it made Haesoo couldn't stop looking at him.

But after a split of seconds, Haesoo shook her head and reminded herself that he will get married to his soulmate today. She reminded herself to forget her feeling for him and everything that happened between them. From the beginning of the story, until the end.

They didn't mean to be together.

No matter how beautiful their memories were.

He was meant to be for Jung Nami.

Haesoo turned off the television as the live streaming kept hurting her feeling even though she forced herself to be good with it. As soon as tears escaped from her eyes, she wiped them off and chuckled to pretend that she was alright.

"Haesoo, don't you have something to say to me?"

Haesoo was surprised when she suddenly received a text from Jay and it made her cry in silence.

"Congratulation on your wedding, Jay."

"Do you want to forget me, Haesoo?"

"Yes."

"Do you want to forget every beautiful memory of us together, Haesoo?"

Haesoo took a moment to answer. She probably lied if she said yes. There's no way she could forget everything that happened between them.

Starting from the first of their interaction behind the school until their last memories in the elevator.

There's no way she could easily erase that moment from her mind.

"Yes," Haesoo replied.

"I love you, Haesoo."

"I will come to you at the end."

"I will come."

"Jay, please."

"This is just an arranged married."

"Everything will come to the end soon."

"And after it end, I will come to you."

"So, if you still have a feeling on me."

"Please stay loving me."

"I will come to you."

"I promise."

"But if you're tired."

"If you want to forget me."

"If you want to love someone else,"

"If one day, you're so tired of everything."

"It's okay."

"I allow you to go for the person who deserves you more."

"At the end, I'm the jerk."

"I'm the bad guy in your life."

"I always make you cry."

"I give a lot of bad memories to you."

"In the end, I'm the worst guy in your life."

"I know. It's my fault for not being good at keeping you with me."

"You deserve someone better than me."

"But I hope you will always remember that."

"You're the longest princess who stays in my heart."

"You change my life."

"Don't you realize it, Haesoo?"

"I stopped smoking because of you."

"You saved me."

"You saved me without you knowing."

"Don't you remember, Haesoo?"

"I have a heart problem in the past."

"But I keep smoking."

"I keep smoking. I hate my life."

"I want it to end so bad."

"So, I keep hurting myself."

"But after I met you."

"I want to live longer."

"Just to spend my time with you."

"With you, the princess in my life."

"I want to live longer because of you."

"It's hard for me to stop smoking."

"But look, I stopped."

"It's because of you."

"You saved my life."

"Thank you so much for everything, Nam Haesoo."

"You're the most beautiful girl I have ever met."

"You're the only girl I want to spend most of my time with forever."

"Thank you for coming into my life."

"Thank you for holding my hand and saving me from getting caught by the discipline teacher."

"Thank you for making me smile."

"Thank you for hugging me."

"Your waist, I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry for touching it without your permission."

"I still did it, right?"

"So, I'm sorry."

"I'm the bad guy ever."

"Remember, Haesoo."

"If you want to forget me,"

"Just do it."

"You're so tired of me, right?"

"It's okay."

"I will accept everything."

"You deserve to live happily too."

"I never hate you, Haesoo."

"I love you."

"I love you so much."

"Thank you again."

"I'm such a bad guy, right?"

"Live happily, Haesoo."

"You will be happier without me."

"Sorry for wasting your tears."

"I'm such a bad guy."

Haesoo rest her head on the table, kept crying until her head got so dizzy.

~~

    Knock Knock

"The food delivery is here."

Haesoo quickly ran towards the door and was surprised to see the same food delivery over and over.

"This is for you, Ms.Nam."

Haesoo shook her head,
"Who sent this to me? It happens a lot of time."

"Just take this, Ms.Nam."

Haesoo refused, "Tell me."

"Who is the one who sends this to me?"

"Just take this, can't you?!"

Haesoo widened her eyes when the guy suddenly raised his voice to her.

She took a step away, shaking her head.

"Who are you?" She held the doorknob.

"What the fuck. You're so annoying. Just take this, can't you?"

Haesoo stepped into the house and was about to lock the door but she was failed when the guy pushed the door hard and chased for her.

Haesoo grabbed her phone, and immediately answered the call from Sunghoon.

"Haesoo, let's meet---"

"Sunghoon, help me." Haesoo ran into the room and hid in the closet. Her voice got so shaking because she was so scared when the guy kicked the door causing it to break apart.

"Haesoo, what's wrong with the sound?"

Haesoo didn't reply, too scared to say something when the guy came into the room and approached her.

"Nam Haesoo, come out!"

"Is that Kang Yoonhyuk?"  Sunghoon spoke up.

Haesoo shut her mouth, forced herself to stay silent but she was failed when Yoonhyuk opened the closet.

He took off the glasses and his mask and smiled at Haesoo as his gaze met her.

"I found you."

"I found my love back." Yoonhyuk dragged her out from the closet causing the phone to fall to the ground. Sunghoon called Haesoo like crazy but she didn't reply anymore.

Yoonhyuk grabbed the phone and chuckled.

"Park Sunghoon, don't be scared. She is safe with me." He slapped her in the face as she started to scream for help.

"Kang Yoonhyuk, you will die--"

"I will kill her if you call the police."

"Do you want her?"

"Come."

"Take her from me."

"Let's see who will die in my hand."

Sunghoon immediately ended the call and rushed out of the hospital. He called his friends for help, including Jay.

~~

  Jay stood on the stage, watched Nami who walked towards him with Mr.Jung on her side. Everyone took some pictures of the couple and mumbled at how cute they were. Jay just wore a fake smile on his face. He smiled at everyone, waved his hand when the camera caught him.

As soon as Nami stood in front of him, he gently held her hand and took her from Mr.Jung. They walked to the center of the stage, faced each other.

Nami held the flower, chuckled as she was so happy to get married to Jay.

The ceremony started, and everyone started to record the highlight of the wedding excitedly.

"Do you Park Jeongsong, take this woman, Jung Nami to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, in sickness and health, in good times and woe, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself solely unto her for as long as you both shall live?"

Nami looked at him excitedly, waited for his answer.

Jay lowered his head, finally had the urge to answer. He fixed the microphone, spoke up.

He barely smiled at Nami,

"I'm sorry."

"I can't do this."

"I'm sorry."

Everyone raised their eyebrows in confusion.

"I need to leave." Jay bowed as apologized, quickly went backstage without listening to everyone who called him. Nami let go of the flower on her hand, chased him from behind causing the wedding to get so ruined up. Mr.Jung angrily left the auditorium, didn't answer every reporter who was following him from behind.

"Jay."

Jay grabbed his things, walked past Nami who looks so disappointed in him.

"Where do you want to go?"

"Nami, I can't do this anymore."

"I'm sorry." He said making her cry.

"This is so painful, Jay."

"Nami, you can't force me."

"I'm sorry."

Nami cried harder.

Jay hugged her tightly, "Thank you for loving someone like me. Thank you for being a good partner to me. I can't continue this wedding, Nami."

"I have someone I love."

"I'm sorry."

Nami hugged him back, "Jay."

"I'm sorry for falling in love with you."

Jay shook his head,
"It's not a crime to fall in love. It naturally happened. It's okay."

"Jay, we still can be friends, right?"

"Of course, Nami."

Nami broke the hug and held his hand.

She then caressed his cheeks with tears still rolling on her cheeks.

She chuckled, "You dumb."

"You fell for her so hard, huh?"

"You're so loyal."

"I hope I will meet someone."

"Who loves me like how you love the girl."

"Jay, I will handle this problem."

"It's okay."

"Go to her."

"It will be so late."

"I will end this in a good way."

Jay smiled at her, "Thank you, Jung Nami."

"Now go. I need to stop every reporter from seeing you." Nami smiled at him back, quickly left the room to grab the reporter's attention, so Jay could run to Haesoo peacefully.

~~

"What is happening, Sunghoon?" Jay asked Sunghoon curiously as all of his friends gathered in front of the house.

"Jay, you're here."

"What happened? Where is Haesoo?"  Jay towards the house but quickly was stopped by Yedam.

"Don't come near them, Jay."

"Or else, Haesoo will get killed by Yoonhyuk."

Jay clenched his fist, "Kang Yoonhyuk?"

He immediately ran towards the door and ignored everyone who told him to stay outside.

"What should we do, Sunghoon?" Jisung asked Sunghoon anxiously.

"I will follow him."

"Both of you should call the police."

"What if Yoonhyuk--" Yedam got cut off.

"Just call the police."

"Hyuri, get ready to bring Haesoo away."

Sunghoon followed Jay from behind and stepped into the house.

"Do you want me to kill her?" Yoonhyuk held Haesoo by her collar and shouted when Jay approached him. Sunghoon shook his head, he pulled Jay away from approaching Haesoo who was suffering in pain after getting beaten by Yoonhyuk.

Haesoo coughed badly, throwing up blood.

"This is what happened if you challenge me."

"I got into jail for 2 years."

"Because of her."

"Because of both of you too."

"You ruined my life."

"My dad threw me away."

"I became so poor."

"I don't have any power anymore."

"It makes me so weak."

"You ruin my life!"

"I hate you so much!"

Yoonhyuk punched Haesoo on the stomach causing her to become so weak and threw more blood through her mouth.

"This is your fault!" Yoonhyuk hurt her again.

"Stop hurting her," Jay shouted.

"If you're a man, you will never hurt a girl."

"Just hurt me." Jay walked towards them.

Sunghoon shouted, "No, Jay. He will kill you."

"He has a knife in his pocket."

Jay stopped on his way making Yoonhyuk laugh.

"I will kill her today."

"I will kill her today!" Yoonhyuk shouted.

He took out the knife and stopped when he heard the sound of a siren.

"Did you call the police?!" Yoonhyuk asked Sunghoon angrily.

"I told you to don't call the police! Do you want me to kill her?!" Yoonhyuk became so aggressive, brought the girl closer to him.

"Stop, Yoonhyuk!" Jay shouted back.

"Jay, don't come near me," Haesoo mumbled.

"Sunghoon, just go." She continued.

"Just go! I said go!" Haesoo shouted, forcing both of them to leave.

Yoonhyuk got crazier. He placed his hand on the ear when the siren got louder.

Jay then took a chance to bring Haesoo away when the guy became crazier. At the same time, Sunghoon tried to drag Yoonhyuk away and brought him to the police.

Sunghoon stopped as he realized that the guy was still holding a knife in his hand.

"Haesoo, I'm here. It's okay."

"I'm here, Haesoo."

"Haesoo, don't cry."

"It's me."

"I came to you, Haesoo."

Jay hugged her tighter and wrapped his arm around her waist to carry her out from the house.

"Jay." Haesoo cried on his embrace as he pulled her closer to his embrace.

"Don't cry, love."

"I'm here."

"I'm here."

"I will always be with you from now on."

"I love you, Haesoo."

"Jay!"  Sunghoon shouted.

Jay suddenly let go of Haesoo from his embrace when Yoonhyuk stabbed him from behind. Haesoo cried harder, shook her head before going towards Jay who fell on the ground.

"Jay." Haesoo put him on her lap.

"Jay, don't..."

Jay didn't respond, just blinking his eyes, fixing his gaze on her with tears rolling on his cheeks.

"Jay."

"Haesoo, don't cry."

"I will be okay." He smiled and groaned when blood came through his mouth.

"Jay, no." Haesoo hugged him tightly.

"No."

"No."

"No." Haesoo shook her head, still keeping the guy close to her.

"Haesoo, it's okay."

"I will be okay." Jay faked a smile.

He reached his hand to her cheeks,
"I will always remember this face."

"I will always remember you, Haesoo."

Haesoo cried, "What are you saying, Jay?!"

At the same time, Sunghoon grabbed Yoonhyuk away from both of them and brought him to the police.

Jay coughed more blood but Haesoo still didn't let go of him.

"I love you, Jay."

"I love you so much."

"I love you, Jay." She hugged him again.

She kissed him on the lips and wiped his tears.

"You'll be good."

"You'll be with me, right?"

Jay held her hand tightly, kissed it before placing it on his cheeks.

"Forget me, Haesoo."

"It will hurt you."

"Please just forget me from now on, okay?"

"Go to Sunghoon."

"He will treat you so much love."

"He deserves you."

"Live happily with him, okay?"

He reached his hand to her jaw, pulled her closer until their pointy nose touch each other.

He chuckled,

"This is how two birds look at each other."

He then shut his eyes, let go of his hand from her and

fell asleep forever.
