"I wish I could tell you everything was going to be fine..."
On November 11,Ā Sehun went home with a pepero box, Hyeriās phone number scribbled on the back of it. Good! That was a least something for someone who would get nauseous upon hearing the word Ā«Ā friendshipĀ Ā».Ā
Although he wouldnāt have admitted it himself, he was glad he had the courage to pierce his bubble. It was common for people to believe friendship can be such an amazing experience itās worth all the bad ones, but before meeting the short haired girl, he used to think differently. She did a great job in changing his point of view ā still if he had been asked he would have justified himself with Ā«Ā itās just because itās herĀ Ā», and then grimaced upon realizing how cheesy that sounded ā.
Their relationship could get awkward sometimes. Sehun was prepared for the eventuality it wouldnāt turn well, which is exactly why he would turn Hyeri down almost every time she suggested to go out, but also because he enjoyed playing hard to get. He needed to know Hyeri sincerely enjoyed his company. He needed to know she wasnāt pitying him. But the girl was smart and it didnāt take long for her to figure out his little plan; by the end of the month, she already knew how to make him accept to hang out with her.
She even managed to make him watch The Fault in Our Stars with her, on Sehunās tiny computerās screen. He found himself yawning throughout the whole movie, indifferent to the love story, unconcerned by the whole cancer matter. Or more like unconscious. He didnāt know, back then, that he was going to die a similar death. Maybe she knew already for she was a sobbing mess, her cheeks soaked with tears and her shoulders shaking slightly. He didnāt fail to notice and it was when he handed her a handkerchief at the exact same moment she leaned on his shoulder that he decided, thatās it, weāre doing the friendship thing.
Ā«Ā u cant ignore me u snotted all over my hoodie lolĀ Ā» he texted her once.
He was happy with how things were and that was a first in life. Life itself, on the contrary, didnāt seem to be.
Hyeri had this short and sweet bob hairstyle that made him go weak at the knees, especially when she brushed a few strands of hair off her face then tucked them behind her ear. He didnāt manage to resist the urge to replace her hand with his once and, although she visibly froze when his fingertips came in contact with her neck, he felt her pulse, fast-beating, and her skin, warm. The sensation he might fall down was back, but way more significant than what used to feel.
This sensation of falling down terrified him.
Hyeriās bruises on her neck were visible enough for whoever wanted to know to know what happened and yet, yet they were still friends. Pretending nothing had happened, she still texted him and dropped by his house, she still told him about her crushes, the new french words she learned, her K-Pop star look-alike, like he hadnāt tried to kill her.Ā There still was, however, the bad looks her acquaintances would send his way and the very fact that life was furious that despite everything their friendship didnāt shatter, if not grew stronger. The pair was inseparable so there had to be dramatic turn of events to separate them. It didnāt last long before that exact dramatic turn of events showed up under the name of cancer.
Sehun had never been scared of dying, but that was before he met Hyeri. It was frustrating for him to leave before he got to know all of her secrets.Ā It was even more frustrating to have never had the courage to apologize.Ā So he opened his mouth, one last time, his mind a mess:Ā Ā«Ā I wish I could tell you I am sorry for everything.Ā Ā»
He felt her hand slip into his.Ā«Ā I wish I could tell you everything was going to be fineā¦Ā Ā»He used the last bit of his strength to close his hand around hers.
