Will you marry me?
Happily Ever AfterHenry-
I walked up towards Zhiyin's hospital room. She had been confined for a year now. Two months ago she woke up from her coma. The first person that she looked for was me. At that time I had a schedule with Super Junior but I ignored it and went to her.
Even though I don't love her...
The least I coud do is try...
"Henry?" She asked when I entered the room.
"Hi. How are you feeling?" I asked her sitting next to her.
"I'm doing okay." She said with a smile.
I smiled back at her and we started to talk. In the middle of our conversation Zhiyin stopped talking and looked at me.
"Is there something wrong?" I asked her.
"I'm sorry Henry..." She said as tears started to form in her eyes.
"Sorry? For what?" I asked her again wiping her tears with the back of my hand.
"I'm sorry for being selfish. Because of me... you lost Yuri." She said looking away from me.
"You did nothing wrong. Leaving Yuri was my decision. It had nothing to do with you." I told her.
Why did she have to bring up Yuri?
"You don't have to hide it. I'm surprised that you don't even hate me." She said looking down at her hands.
I took a deep breath and placed my hands over hers. I smiled at her and she looked at me.
"I can never hate you." I said to her.
"But you can never love me either." She replied.
I was silent after that. I didn't know how to respond.
Should I tell her that I love her too?
But that would be lying wouldn't it?
"Just stay with me for a little while longer. Four months, that's all I ask... Four months is how long it will take for me to say goodbye. After that... I'm releasing you back to her." Zhiyin said to me placing her hands on my face.
Four months...
"Marry me Henry... Marry me before I die... please?" She added as she hugged me tightly.
She held me in her arms and I could feel her warm tears falling on my shoulder. I hugged her back and fekt my heart ache.
Can I really do this?
Can I really marry Zhiyin?
If did... it would only because of pity...
That would make matters worse wouldn't it?
But...
She deserves to be happy...
Four months...
That was all she asked for...
I moved away from her and wiped her tears.
"Okay... let's get married." I told her.
"Thank you Henry. I love you." She said as she leaned forward and kissed me.
I didn't move from where I stood.
I should be kissing her back.
But it didn't feel right for me.
Zhiyin was infront of me, but all I could think of was Yuri...
Four months...
Can she wait that long?
