maybe it isn't a joke, sooa says to herself. days have passed since intak sprung the news on the girl, and his contact with her had decreased by A LOT.

it was weird - why was he suddenly ignoring her? doesn't he need his best friend's comfort? why has he hung out with everyone in the group except for her?

a burning sensation welled in her heart, tears welling in her eyes for the fifth time that morning. why? why was he doing this to her?

intak found himself in the same position as his best friend, unknowingly.

he was hiding himself under his favourite blanket, fetal position. tears hadn't stopped staining his slowly decaying cheeks.

truth be told, he wishes he could be wrapped in her arms, feeling her heartbeat under his ear, hearing her voice tell him everything's gonna be okay.

but how could he?

how could he stay in her life, not knowing when he'll die? how could he make her go through that pain and agony? what would she make of herself if that happened?

his own guilt would get him before the cancer did.

it's better to stay away. maybe she'll forget to miss me if she hates me.
