"You played a huge part in my life. The day you were gone, my heart felt nothing but emptiness."

Violet Pov


Starting from a certain age, I was introduced to a topic called death.


I remember clearly when somebody asked me if I'm afraid of dying. I answered no, because I'm not scared of myself dying, but I don't think I can bear to see my family, relatives, or friends dying. To put it in other words, I'm terribly scared of losing my loved ones.


The person, however, told me, "what if your loved ones think the same. They would be very sad if you die too. So, shouldn't it be our responsibility to live to not see our loved ones in pain?"


The response kept me wide awake the whole night, I realized that I would be selfish if I die. Yet, if I'm not 'living' and only 'breathing' to trade for their happiness. What about me then?


This question is still unanswered in my heart.


I avoid thinking about it, I thought I should focus on the present first. Little did I know, this question haunts me so soon.












Early morning, I headed back home to pack some necessities to renew the ones in Taehyung's room. I tiptoed as I silently walked into my bedroom. I quickly shoved a few items of clothing into my bag and returned to the living room.


"Vi?" Jisoo stood behind me, rubbing her eyes, still in her pink polka dots pajamas. "Sorry! Did I wake you up?" I apologized.


"It's okay. Where are you setting off to?" Jisoo eyed me from my head to toes, disappointment in her eyes were shown.


"I'm going to stay at Taehyung's tonight," I replied.


"Okay..." she uttered. "Violet... we haven't been hanging out much lately. Every time when I'm going out, you're not awake. When I came home, you're out. I miss our bestie times." Jisoo gulped nervously.


I dropped my bag and hugged her. I realized how selfish I have been, continuously neglecting my best friend. What kind of friend am I?


"I'm sorry," I mumbled weakly, feeling guilty for being a horrible friend.


"Don't get me wrong, Violet. I'm happy for you and Taehyung, I also know there are many things going on in your life. I don't want to cause you troubles any further." Jisoo pulled away, tears lingered under her eyes causing me to nibble my lips anxiously.
