Kyuhyun’s POV:

I feel it. It’s creeping back. All those years of suppressing this ing monster, it’s all gone, down the drain. Even the medicine doesn’t work anymore. How can it return so – so soon? I reached for the medicine bottle, hoping more pills would drive this monster away. Then, I saw the silver ring on my finger. It reflected the moonlight, and I felt hot tears in my eyes. I knew how horrible I will be, how much I’ll hurt everyone around me. I barely touched the bottle when I took my hand away. I stared at the photo of us that laid innocently on the table beside the white bottle, the photo that I loved so much. It was our first Polaroid selca, when she finally accepted me. I held it close to my heart, fearing it would disappear if I don’t.

At that moment I realized that, my time with my angel is almost up. I cannot let her know about this. She doesn’t need to worry about me like everyone else did. She deserves better, like them. Maybe, maybe it’s an indication that my happiness is over. I swallowed as I painfully let my tear roll down my cheek. I clenched my teeth and took a deep breath before making the decision.

It’s final. I started it, so I must end it. I will have to be the one to cut the thread that held us together.

“I’m sorry, Seo Joohyun.” I whispered as I cried into the darkness once again, this time with more pain physically and emotionally than ever.
