Chapter 11 - My Everything

“I’m tired.” Mi Young yawned.

I nodded.

“Let’s go back okay?” I let out a small smile.

“No.” She refused.

“Why?” I asked.

“Because when I sleep and wake up, it’ll be tomorrow. And tomorrow is the day I’m going to die.” She answered with tears building up in her eyes.

“I don’t want to die tomorrow. I want to spend my last day with you.” Her voice trembled.
