Beauty (Boy) POV 

I was very scared. I felt more pain than fear. Anyway, I wanted to take the Beast and go back. I ran as fast as I could. But we had come too far for me to go with Beast. 

No matter what I did to speed up the journey, I unexpectedly started getting Beast sick. At first, I saw it as a normal thing because of the cold, but gradually I realized that she was suffering from asthma. I regretted that I found out about it on the third day in the jungle.

As soon as I found out, I took the Beast back and tried to go back to where I started, but in the middle I felt too tired to support myself. When she was coughing in pain and breathing hard, I couldn't bring myself to stop. I ran as fast as I could. But I collapsed on the spot when I felt the Beast trying to get away from me.

I don't know how to describe the feeling. I could not move forward even one step beyond that. Hugging her like that, I continued to release my tears. I held her tightly until I heard her heartbeat. Until I felt her warmth. Meanwhile, I have a lot to say.

"My Beast. I'm sorry! For telling you such a big lie. I'm sorry for not telling you about this earlier. Please listen. Don't leave me. I want to talk. I want to teach you new things every day. We both want to see paradise together."

I started halfway through the story. I felt that she was no longer with me. She was already gone before I started talking. But I kept cuddling her for hours. I sat in front of a tree, hugging her to my chest. I didn't stop talking.

"You came to find paradise. I came with you. I took you on a long journey, but I couldn't tell you anything. You have read half of the book Paradise. You believed me who read the story till the end. But I didn't tell, about what is written on the last page of the book Paradise."
