[Chapter 25]

"I've decided ... to let them go." - Chaeyeon

Aunt Jiyoung and Yoongi walked up to her and stood next to her.

"Are you sure about this?" - Aunt Jiyoung

Chaeyeon turned her head to Aunt Jiyoung and nodded without hesitation.

"What's the point of keeping them, having hope? My mom is never going to wake up and my dad is nearly surviving." - Chaeyeon

Yoongi then walked up to her and stood in front of her.

"But keeping them is better than letting them go and never seeing them again. Keeping them can give us a chance to save them." - Yoongi

Chaeyeon looks up at him with teary eyes.

"How?! If we keep them, I would have to come here every single day, seeing them asleep and never waking up. Seeing them in the same state is much more worse than not seeing them for the rest of my life. This way I know that they are in peace and not in pain." - Chaeyeon

Yoongi was struck by her words as he lowered his head and sighed. Jungkook wanted to convince Chaeyeon to keep having hope but he couldn't find any words to say.

The doctor and the nurse nods their heads to one another as Chaeyeon walks to the middle and waits for them to do their job. Yoongi, Jungkook, and Aunt Jiyoung were standing behind Chaeyeon as they also waits.

When the nurse unplugs their oxygen and IV, Chaeyeon then starts shaking in fear. Tears streamed down Chaeyeon's cheeks as memories come flashing back to her.

"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday, happy birthday! Happy birthday to you!" - Haru and Sejun

Chaeyeon was smiling widely as she sees her whole family there with her on her 6th birthday.

"Happy birthday, princess." - Sejun

"Your father and I both love you very much." - Haru

...

Haru was putting Chaeyeon to sleep as Sejun was finished reading Chaeyeon a book.

"When will I hear about your love story?" - Chaeyeon

Sejun and Haru looks at one another and smiles.

"One day sweetheart." - Haru

"Will I get a happy ending in my love story?" - Chaeyeon

"Of course you will. If you choose the right one, you'll get your happy ending no matter what." - Sejun

Chaeyeon chuckles as they both kissed her on her forehead.

....

"Dad! What are you doing? Who is that woman?" - Chaeyeon

"He's leaving us, sweetie. For good." - Haru

....

Chaeyeon could hear her mother's scream from down the hall as tears couldn't stop streaming down her face. Aunt Jiyoung hugs her as she continues to cry in her aunt's embrace.

....

"Every since I left you and your mother, not one day past without me missing the both of you. Not one day passed, without me trying to think of a way for all of us to live as one family again." - Sejun

Chaeyeon came back to reality when both of the heart monitors went flatline as Chaeyeon starts to sob louder. She thought she could be brave and hold the pain in but she was wrong. The moment she heard the heart monitors goes flat, she broke down right at that moment, knowing she wouldn't hear her parent's voices ever again.
