I had everything in the world right at that moment. As if only to escape from reality, we held hands for several seconds. She looked at me only to show such a perfect smile. The only perfect smile I could ever want. I felt movement in my hands, crossing through my fingers. I watched as she intertwined our hands together as if they must stay that way forever. Yes. They must stay together forever.

But I watched her smile fade and I felt her hands unlink with mine. I looked into her eyes with a confused but sad expression, and I knew immediately something was wrong. "I, I can't do this, oppa," she stuttered.

"Why? Can't you come with me?" I pleaded, but I knew her silence and avoiding eye contact was a way of telling me that she couldn't. Her silence pounded my brain until it was dull. "Why not?"

"My father... He would disapprove-"

"So you don't want to disobey your father for coming with me? I'd never see you again, though. I'm never coming back, if you haven't noticed," I interrupted. She couldn't look back in my eyes, as if they were a painful reminder of how much she meant to me.

"I'm so sorry...." She began to trail off, but I leaned in and kissed her lips to stop her from straying too far.

"I could die without you, though, I love you too much." She smiled at the ground, slowly allowing her gaze to slide into place and meet mine.

"No, you won't, Baekhyun. You are too smart to die. I believe in you; you can survive," she assured me. I allowed a grin on my face.

"BYUN BAEKHYUN! GET THE HELL AWAY FROM HYO MIN!" Her father screamed.
