You might want to play this at the background while reading this chapter. <3

*Seohyun’s PoV*

I couldn’t wait any longer so I used my migraine as an excuse to get home early. I need to talk to dad, something’s up! And I just can’t sit on my class pretending to be okay about the news flowing around the campus. Plus Luhan and Kai are nowhere to be found.

I just can’t sulk in my class doing nothing. As I reached our house, I saw 2 unfamiliar cars parked in our lawn. It took me a moment to figure out, until Aunt Mei (luhan’s mom) went outside our house with anger written all over her face.

She looked too depressed to even feel my presence. I rushed inside and saw someone unfamiliar; she looks someone as old as my dad. They were both shocked to see me. The lady cleared her voice and eyed my father once.

“You need to tell her, before anyone else does” she smiled timidly as she walked pass by me. The air was filled with silence… as if dad didn’t want to talk anything about it. Though he knows himself that he can’t hide anything from me… I’m his daughter and I ought to know the things concerning him and of course me… we only have each other now

“Dad…” he looked at me with pain in his eyes though he tried concealing it with a sharp smile of his.

“If you can’t tell me… it’s okay, I can wait” I was about to head upstairs when he spoke… but then as he did… my heart sank…

I shouldn’t have asked…

I felt heat scorching around my eyes, as if it was trying to brim out the tears in me… I felt a thug as blackness occupied my view…

***

I woke up to the sound of machines… hospital machines… the sound of air-conditioned ventilated hospital room. The white walls… the smell of dying hope…

Though this time it was different… I heard a nostalgic tune playing at the background… and alas, my mother’s soothing voice, I can’t bring myself to look at the screen where the video clip was playing… I guess it was just too painful to see… especially remembering what dad said before I passed out.

*

“Joohyun… you’re playing the wrong keys again… Yifan do you mind helping her”

 

 

“omma~ I’m so tired, I want to see jongin~”

 

 

“Yah~ Joohyun-ah, don’t go looking for people who’s not even here, you’ll only end up hurting yourself if you continue that attitude of yours”

 

 

“you talk like a grown up fan-fan”

 

 

“do you like grownups joohyun-ah? Will you like me when we grow up?”

*

The video clip ended, and I tried my best to sit up. The answer was right under my nose… Yifan, Kris… one of the leaders of Exo…

“I waited long enough seohyun.” Just hearing his voice made me shudder. How could I not remember him? How could I not remember the first guy who wanted to play with me… how could I forgot… the guy who promised me marriage.

“hmm…”

“you were expecting… luhan, or rather should I say Kai? Am I right?” his voice began to crack as I felt his footsteps nearing towards me.

“mianhe…” I felt a deep pang in my chest as I closed my eyes shut…

“I was so glad… to see you step out of your house again… I was waiting for the perfect timing to court you… after all, I didn’t want to get married to the girl I loved right from the beginning without going through the process of courtship and all of that mushy stuffs… but then, again… I was never the guy you wanted to be with. First Kai, then now Luhan…” I can’t keep it anymore, my breathes were starting to halt…

How could I even forget… am I that bad?

“I wanted to cancel our marriage no matter what method I had to do, just to keep you happy… I know that you’re happy to have them both in your side… but every single time… that I see you cry… every single time you’re having troubles with both of them, I just want to take you away from them, I want to take you with me… I wanted to protect you… I wanted to give it a shot, I’ve been in love you from a far for a long time now… but why… why do I feel like it’s so unfair… how can you just forget me? How can you just give yourself like that to people who don’t really care about you” I took a deep breath as I tried to sit up, and when I did, the next thing I felt was his lips to mine… I could feel the pain… in every kiss he was giving me…

It was a moment before I took the urge to kiss back, but when I did… I saw both Luhan and Kai standing at the door with my father at the back… I pressed my eyes shut and I felt Kris arms wrapped around me.

“Kris… can I talk to my daughter for a bit, and you two, do you mind if you leave first?”

*Third Person’s PoV*

As the door shut the three of them out, both Luhan and Kai eyed Kris. Kris let out an exasperated sigh as kai spoke.

“who the hell are you.” Rage, anger and desperation was filled up in kai’s system.

“that’s not the proper way you talk to a football co-captain” he said in the best possible way he can. His lips were somehow still numb from the kiss he shared earlier with seohyun.

“what the heck Kris! She’s my girlfriend and you had the urge to kiss her? What’s wrong with you?” luhan said as he grabbed Kris’ collar and pinned him on the wall.

“I have every right. She’s my fiancé”

“what?” Kris tossed luhan’s hand away from his collar. And walked away from them, but as he did, Kai jabbed a punch in his face, the impact wasn’t that much though it still hurts making Kris’ lip to bled somehow.

“what the hell is wrong with you? Could you please go back to your senses before I literally kill you?! What the heck is happening in here Kris?” the other nurses started to notice the commotion but chose not to get involve

“I don’t have to explain myself, I’m leaving”

“Yah! Kris Wu! We’re still talking to you, don’t turn your back you douche! Stop avoiding us, cause we ought to know what’s happening!”

“God you’re annoying. Stop acting like you care about her when right from the start you’re all about getting yoona back.” Kris ran his fingers to his hair down to his neck, on the contrary, luhan was taken aback… he didn’t know how Kris knew about their set up

“then try me. I’m her best friend” Kris looked at kai and sighed. He gave up

“fine, just you… meet me at the rooftop, and If he’s there, I’m not spilling anything” kris started to walk away leaving kai and luhan at the hallway.

“why do you get to know what’s the real score. When you’re just her best friend?” Kai smirked and pat his back.

“that’s the thing… I’m her best friend… It still weighs heavier… than her fake boyfriend.” With that o Kai caught up with kris at the rooftop, he made sure that luhan was nowhere to be found when he reached the roof.

Kris was standing near the edge of the roof. He smiled a bit when he saw kai and walked up to him.

“now tell me… I deserve every bit to know.”

“It’s easy… we’re getting married… by the end of the month, but due to some technicalities… they had to arrange it earlier… b-before—“ kris was searching for his voice that trailed off…

“b-before what?” kai was somehow scared to hear what he says next… he was afraid that somehow Kris knows about his best friends condition

“I want to get married to the only girl who has set my heart beat racing every time I see her, before she loses her own heart beat… I know you know what her condition is, even her dad knows…”

“M-mr. Seo knows?” Kris chuckled a bit as he wiped away the tears falling down from her eyes.

“of course he’d know you dimwit, he’s her dad. And what do you think of mr. hans? He’s not the type of person who wont tell mr. seo… and he’s her dad… one of the most influential people in south korea, of course he’d know about her daughter’s condition.”

“but why?”

“what do you mean why?”

“Why do you still want to marry her Kris? After knowing all of this right from the beginning, how can you stand marrying someone you know… whose days are numbered…”

“it’s simple, I love her… and I promised her… that no matter what happens I’ll be marrying her… If you were in my position, you’d do the same, I know that you’re also in love with her… and if given the chance to marry her, I know that you would too…”

“You don’t have to, I mean don’t you think it’s just some stupid childhood whim? What do you think she would feel?”

“she already agreed… when she kissed me back… I’m marrying her and that’s final”

*Seohyun’s PoV*

When mom died… I developed a trauma… causing me to have brain bleeding which later on developed a brain tumor… I knew for some time that I had gained something, but little did I know… that in the process of having a brain tumor, my memories were affected…

Causing me to forget things… causing me to forget him… and upon last night, everything came crashing back

*Flashback*

 

 

“If you can’t tell me… it’s okay, I can wait”

 

 

“No seohyun, I should have told you this before… But then I thought that if I did, I’d only complicate things for you… and as your father I didn’t wanted that” It was the first time in three years that I’d see dad in this expression again.

 

 

The last time he held this kind of expression was mom’s funeral…

 

 

“s-so… what is it”

 

 

“I-I can’t help it… it… it was your mom’s wish…” a sudden outbreak of flashbacks and scintillations went back… I clearly remembered everything…

 

*end of flashback*

“Where’s Kris?” I asked dad…

“Honey… I—look, I…” without a second thought I opened my mouth… but as I did the door went open and I saw Luhan’s face

“You can’t marry him. Please say you wont”

You guys deserved an epic comeback, so this is the only way I can possibly think of as I am currently busy with all of the exams for college. So yeah. I’ll be ending my high school journey soon enough to write up another chapter in my college life

Though this was kinda hard to write… I did mention from the last update from err last year that the fun thing begins… though for me this is fun, I’m such a masochist so much it hurts T^T

If anyone… out there… if you’re still reading this, there’s hope…

MTH.
