Lose you again

I was working late at night in the office. I had some paperwork to finish, so I decided to

stay a little bit longer than expected.

–Jisung, I’m heading home. See you on Monday –Said Woon-ho, my co-worker.

–See you, have a nice weekend – I replied.

–Will do – Said Woo-ho, and with that he headed to the exit.

I was the last one in the building all by myself. I didn’t have much more to finish

fortunately.

Suddenly, the alarm went off as well as the lights. It was almost impossible to see

anything if it weren’t because of the lights coming out of the windows and my phone. I

didn’t have much battery left and no internet to contact Minho, my couple.

A terrible smell like gas came flying into the room and I started to get dizzy. Staggering

on one foot, I fell to the floor. I hissed at the pain, closing my eyes. Last thing I could

hear with clarity was the sound of the fire alarms approaching.

Minho’s point of view

I was sitting by the kitchen table calling Jisung frenetically. He wasn’t picking up. It was

way past the time he should be arriving home. Turning disappointed, I received a call.

Sighing mad I picked up the phone. It wasn’t from jisung, but from Hyunjin, my friend.

–Hello – I said tiredly.

–Haven’t you seen the news? – he asked.

–What news? – I uttered.

–There was a gas leakage at jisung’s office. He’s at the hospital. –he replied loudly.

–What? – I mumbled –. I’ll be there in five.

I sprang from my chair and ran to the car. Driving as fast as possible, I cursed.
Wait for me jisung, please, I’ve lost you once, I can not lose you again.

Arriving at the hospital I asked for his room number quickly. Running all the way up the

stairs, I reached the room. Sitting down outside, I waited.

A couple of minutes later a doctor came out.

–Family members of Lee Jisung? –The doctor asked.

–Here – I stood up

–I’m sorry… He doesn’t have much time left. – He told me.

My breath stopped for a moment. That couldn’t be true. Jisung, My jisung.

–Would you like to see him? – He asked sorrowfully.

–Yes, thank you – I answered.

I entered the room. Seeing him in such state broke my heart.

–Hi love– I said. With tears at the edge of my eyes.

–Hi – he said quietly.

–How are you feeling ji? – I questioned

–Fine now that I see you – he replied with a smile.

–Come sit with me – he said slowly.

Looking down at him a tear fell.

–Don’t leave me please I need you. – I begged.

–I’m sorry Honey…Before I go, promise me one thing.

–Anything. – I replied.

–Take care of our cats, fall in love again, eat a lot of pudin just how you like it, and

enjoy life for the both of us.

–I promise – I utter crying.

–I love you. – I said kissing him softly for one last time.

–I love you too my darling.

And with his last words he closed his eyes and passed away peacefully.
