Continuation..................This should be the 5th page update..............

Then there was this moment of silence again.
Deep within Key, he wishes that Hyeong Seop opens up to him about his condition so the other would not feel alone fighting for it.

“Honey…?”

“Hhhmmm…”

“Don’t sleep yet ha…?”

“No…I won’t…
I will let you sleep first…
So don’t worry…”

“Thanks….What if…
You know what…?”

“What…?”

“It is about my friend…
I feel so sorry for him…”

“Why…Wha...what happened..?”

“(Takes a deep breath) Well…
I feel sad that my friend’s partner lost his life to cancer…
Aahh…
Life is so unfair sometimes…”

Key felt like his heart skipped a beat after hearing Hyeong Seop story, he looks at the other and could see eyes full of worry and sadness.
Key pretends to act nonchalant about it and let Hyeong Seop do the talking.

“Hon…
How would you feel if it happens to you like
when someone you love has cancer…
What will you do…?”

Key chokes and feels the sudden numbness of his tongue and lips struggling to get rid of the deadness just so he can reply.
He gives himself seconds to gather strength and collect himself then replies…

“Baby…
If it happens to me...
You know, if there’s one thing that’ll come out
of it as a result – is that, in general, we need to
learn what’s important really fast.
I mean, indeed really fast.
I think some people, including like me,
want to know what’s going on.
I want no surprises.
But if my partner doesn’t want to let me know
anything then I will be forced to respect that.
I will even force to require myself in that
struggle of not knowing anything just to fulfill his wish.

Cancer is a like an instrument of punishment
harsh it may sound but it is a fact.
It’s like you question your existence as to why it hit you.
The truth is cancer chooses no one.
I guess up above was tripping and accidentally
drops the Pandora box which opened and
spread unkind filth randomly…

Such as life you see…

It is important to learn that if people offer,
let them do something.
Tell them what you need to have done,
because they don’t know.
You have to let go of your pride and seek help.
Regardless though…

In the midst of it…
I will make him happy.
I will chase the time for him.
I will take care of him.
I will be his strength so he would not feel alone.
I will share his pain because that is the only way I can help him.
I will love every fragment of his life.

And that…
As long as we are together, believe we will be ok.”

Then few incontrollable tears makes it way to Key’s cheek.
He checks on Hyeong Seop and makes a sad smile knowing the latter has fallen to sleep – then, breathes then let go of some of his tears.
Just as he thought, Hyeong Seop is in deep sleep, he’s wrong when…

“tthhannkkss…hhoonn….”

“You are most welcome…
Baby…Sssshhh…
Sleep…”
