Hyunjin's POV

"Hyunjin, I'll go and buy something for us-" Inyeop

"I'll buy, you rest here" I said and was about to go-

"I am really sorry for not telling you as soon as I found out. Actually, this is not the first time. 3 years ago, Caius asked me to fill up a form by saying I am his guardian. I asked him why but he just said that for medical purposes. He said he is not feeling well. I was also shocked. Why does he need a guardian when he is not just feeling well?" Inyeop

I stayed quiet.

"Then, I suddenly received an email from this hospital. It was an appointment checkup with Caius. They just let me click the continue but I can't open the rest. It was locked and only Caius can open it. I tried a lot of times but I never succeed. I called Caius but he denied that he is feeling something weird. That was 3 years ago, the doctoe said. Caius was not going here for checkup. That was his last checkup and he didn't came back" Inyeop said and sighed heavily, he leaned on the wall "The doctor said, a person who was diagnosed with Glioblastoma Multiforme can kill a patient within 5 years of diagnose. He is keeping it for 3 years and didn't even tried to do something so he can atleast survive. It's been 3 years, the more he is not taking an action, the more it become dangerous"

"3 y-years?"

"The doctor checked the other hospitals if there is a Hwang Caius who visited for a checkup but he didn't found anything. So, yeah. He is keeping it as a secret for 3 years" Inyeop

I walked away as I can not bear anything he will say anymore. I rode the elevator to the ground floor part. I can't believe this. He was diagnosed 3 years ago with a deadliest brain cancer and incurable, but chose not to tell anyone. How is this possible? How did he managed to keep it as a secret when we're at home together? If only I tried to ask him, he will probably say it. I went straight to the cafeteria and bought snacks and coffee for Inyeop and I. I paid it and quickly left-

"Felix?" I whispered as I saw Felix walking out of the hospital. I quickly walk as fast as I can, I saw him getting in his car and drove away "What is he doing here?"

Did he visited Caius? I went upstairs, to Caius's floor. I entered the room as soon as I arrived and saw Caius with Inyeop.

"Oh, Caius just woke up" Inyeop

I'm glad.

"Did you told Felix about what happened to Caius?"

Inyeop shook his head "No, why?"

"What is happening?" Caius asked

"Didn't he went here just now?"

"No, he didn't. I am here the whole time and no one told him about what happened" Inyeop

Why the hell is Felix here? Is he also not feeling well? A family member? Or he visited someone? I don't understand why the hell is he here. It's class hours.

"So, why did Felix went here?" Caius asked

"I don't know but I am sure it was him. I saw him walking out of the hospital. I also his car and he drove it away"

"Maybe he is not feeling well" Caius

"Let me check it for you" Inyeop said and left the room, leaving me and Caius alone.

I sat down on the bench and looked at him "So, you've been keeping it for 3 years?"

Caius chuckled "I didn't know you guys were going to disobey what I told you last night. I said I don't want to go here, but here I am. I will be staying on this bed until I die-"

"Shut the fuck up. No one is going to die. If you're going to die, it's because I will kill you. So, stop talking about dying"

(WARNING: SUICIDE ATTEMPT WILL BE MENTIONED UNTIL THE END OF THIS CHAPTER)

"Inyeop said you alread found out. Yup, I was diagnosed and tried to keep it as a secret for 3 years. To be honest, I tried to kill myself the day that I was diagnosed. I've been attempting to kill myself for 1 year but guess what? It's not always success because you kept entering my room. Thanks to you, I survived and I met Eunjoo 2 years ago. I've decided not to end my life and will live it happily. She gave me reasons to be happy and enjoy the rest of my life" Caius smiled and he looked at me with sadness in his eyes "But I didn't know choosing my happiness will not let me have whom I love"

"Caius-"

"Do you know that I never regretted anything? The more I was trying to fight for my feelings, the more I kept realizing things. I am not gonna stay here forever. I will leave soon, for good. I don't want to hurt Eunjoo. I know she deserves Felix, she deserves happiness not pain" he took a deep breath

Fuck.

"I can only give her pain unlike Felix who can give her all the love and happiness. I want to leave without regretting anything. So, I chose to let go even if it's hard. I have to" Caius

"Stop-"

"Hyunjin, can you do me a favor?" he asked

I just looked away and sighed.

He looked at me "Can you not tell Eunjoo about what happened to me?"

Why does he have to think of her when he is in this kind of situation? Damn it. Falling in love is so hard.
