“You cannot protect yourself from sadness without protecting yourself from happiness.” 
― Jonathan Safran Foer

“She always pushed me, made me far away from her and told me to get lost even without she realized. She loved you more than I loved her, but how difficult I tried, this heart didn’t want to forget her.” He took a breath and smiled to the person who’s sitting beside him.

Luhan just remained silent while he’s holding a cup of coffee in his hand.

“You know, it’s not like I’d love to hurt myself. But, if there’s someone who dare to hurt Sora even if it’s just a little thing, I will kill them with my own hands.”

“Even when you have to lie and almost die like this?”

“It’s not a big problem, as long as nothing happens to Sora.”

The older one smiled painfully, “Stupid. Do you think even if you’re dead, Sora won’t be hurt?”

“What do you mean?”

“Forget it. Take a rest.”

“Miss, you have to go back to your room.” A nurse approached Sora and helped her to stand.

“Sehun,” Her hands tried to find Sehun’s face with much struggle, then Sehun grabbed her hands and them. “See you.”

“See you.”

Even his sound was so weak. It’s unbelievable that a badass motorcycle driver who raced every night would be this weak in front of a girl. And now he’s as weak as a thin glass.

There’s a grandmother and a grandfather, they walked around in the garden while holding each other’s hand and laughed happily. Sehun was touched because of them, so, love was that simple? Was love that simple? Grow old together, spend days together, to see them laugh, was love that simple?

Love is simple, if you can’t make them happy, just don’t make them sad.

Someday, one day, will he feel that simple love? Will he grow old with someone that he loved, until their skin got wrinkled, until their hair got whitened, until… God said that they have to be separated? Will he? Who’s the girl? Could it be Sora?

Was it Sehun’s fault if he loved Sora and he wanted to be with her forever? Was it Sehun’s fault if he couldn’t stop even though he wanted to? Was it Sehun’s fault if he was very hurt because of Sora’s condition right now? Was it Sehun’s fault if he tried to be strong, but in the end, he’s hurting himself? Was that all Sehun’s faults if he felt envy and sad in the same time when he saw grandmother and grandfather that laughed freely in front of him?

“Everyone’s happy but me.” He messed with his hair and breathed deeply, “I feel so stupid.”

“You’re the truly stupid.”

Sehun looked to the side, to Jongin who’s sitting while take a sip of his coffee. “Thanks. You’re my truly bestfriend.”
