After that long distance walk I finally saw unnie and Oh Gong-nim, I really want to see them now that I'm slowly rotting and dying.

A smile instantly spread across my face when I saw them kissed, I guess they're now in good terms, I'm happy for them, specially for unnie.

I keep on spraying myself with this lotus scented perfume but it's no use, I still smelled like a rotting flesh. I also kept on looking up to prevent my eyes to fall.

Now that unnie's summoning is complete, I guess it's time for me to go, to be buried and to lie peacefully in a coffin.

I stared at them for a second and then I turn around...

"Pal Gye-nim." My muscles suddenly tensed up clearly surprised by the appearance of this wonderful man in front of me.

I looked at him for a second and I noticed some bruised and scars all over his body, I can't help but to wonder.

"Pal Gye-nim...."

In a blink of an eye, I felt his arms around my waist and his head above my shoulder. His hug instantly warmed me up.

"Buja-ya.. This oppa is so worried about you." He said with his soothing voice as he gently brushed my hair.

"Pal Gye-nim, don't you think I'm a bit stinky? You should get away from me." I murmured as I hesitantly tried to push him away.

Instead of letting me go, he hugged me even tighter. Clearly not wanting me to let go.

"Buja, don't ever think like that! For me you're the most sweet scented person I've ever known." He then kissed my hair.

His sudden moves were enough to make my cheeks flushed.

"I'm not even a person though." I reluctantly said as I tried to avoid any eye contact with him.

He gently pushed me away but his hands were still on my arms.

His gaze were so determined that I can't help it but to stare at him and return the favor.

"We must do something about this. Let's ask Sam Jang for help or maybe Ma Wa-" He insisted with his voice sounded so desperate.

I cut him off as I remove his hands on my arms.

"Sorry but, will you stop. I'm fine with this, I really am." My voice cracked.

I looked down trying to avoid his gaze. I don't want him to see me like this. I can feel that my tears were about to fall.

I glance at him for a bit and there, I saw him looked up with a bit of frustration in his face.

"But I'm not fine with this!" He said loudly that frustration were visible in his voice.

He caught me off guard making me loss balance causing me to fall.

'Wow, I'm really weak.'

He run towards me and he immediately helped me.

"Buja I'm sorry, I'm sorry." He said sincerely while looking down. I also looked down and I notced some droplets of water— no its his tears. I slowly look at him.

"Pal Gye-nim, are you... Are you crying?"

He look at me with his teary eye but he's still smiling.

"Buja-ya can I hug you? Again?"

As soon as I nodded he then hugged me right away.

I don't know why but I feel like, I'm going to cry.

"Buja-ya, it hurts..."

Droplets of tears uncontrollably escape from my eyes as I sobbed louder than before.

"Can't you just stay with me forever?"

I can't help it but to cry even more.

"Pal Gye - nim, you know from the start that, that's impossible." My voice cracked.

He hugged me tighter than before.

"I know... I also know that it's absurd to love you."

His statement suddenly caught me off guard. My body become so tensed that my muscle stiffens.

"What.. Do you mean oppa?" I hesistantly asked.

I want to make sure that I heard it right.

He gently brushed my hair.

"I love you Buja. I really do. So please don't give up."

He looked directly in my eyes clearly inviting and begging me to return the favor. I tried to avert my gaze.

"I'm sorry. But.. Its really time for me to go." I tried to firm my voice up but it's hopeless.

I saw a hint of sadness in his eyes.

"I'm sorry Pal Gye-nim. Thank you for loving me but you deserve someone better, maybe Alice?" I tried to sound like I'm happy but I failed.

"Buja it's you I love not Alice! Please stop pushing me away. I'm sure there's another way that I can help you... I... I..." He blurted out while tears escaping from the corner of his eyes.

I slowly touch his face. I wiped away the tears escaping from the corners of his eyes and for the last time I genuinely smiled.

"I... I... I'm sorry also, thank you for everything. Thank you."

He immediately took my hands and he hold it firmly as if he's begging me to stay. I stared at him for maybe a minute. There I saw a visible horror on his face.

Again I smiled.

"I.. love you too..."

And then... Everything went black...
