"No, dont die." 

That was all Myungsoo needed. Someone to pull him back from the chilly waters. He didnt know how much he needed that someone till today. It has always been him and him alone.

"I dont deserve to live." Myungsoo whispered as he pried the girl's hands off him and faced her.

"Why?!" 

"Did you read the magazine?"

"Daegu."

"Ah, so whats bothering you?"
