Chapter 6


    Two months passed in a blur like this. Yong would go to work,e home early, then spend the rest of


    his time with me. I had been worried recently. Every time Yong made love to me, I felt more and more


    determined to protect him at all costs. I couldn''t continue to be around him knowing I would only be a


    danger to him. But with Tase and Yong alternating being my watch guard, I rarely went anywhere


    without one of them. My smile has turned sad and regretful. I didn''t want to leave this world with


    regrets, and if I kept putting Tase and Yong at risk, I would regret it. But I never had the opportunity and


    n to leave unnoticed.


    I woke up without Yong beside me, but he left me breakfast and a love note. It was a rare time when


    neither of the guys were home. They were normally so good about always having one person home,


    but I guess there was ack inmunication somewhere this time. I''d been looking for a chance to


    sneak out quietly without Yong noticing. This was my best chance. I pulled out a piece of paper before I


    started writing.


    Yong,


    I love you with all of my heart, but I couldn''t live with myself knowing that I''m the person who''s holding


    you back. I know you''re a doctor who wants to save lives, and all I do is take up all your time. I know


    you''re worried about me, but I don''t want you to get hurt trying to protect me. I''vee to terms with

    my fate. If I''m meant to die, I don''t want to drag anyone else into it. I know you love me just as much as


    I love you, but if me living means that you have to die, I''d rather be the only one dying. Thank you for


    your love. You made me feel confident enough to leave this world with no regrets. I love you, and I will


    always love you. I just want you to be happy.


    Aivi


    I left the note on the fridge before packing a quick duffle bag and leaving Yong''s condo. I took the bus


    to the other side of town and waited at the train station. The further away I could get, the safer Yong


    would be. I went to the bathroom after seeing there was an hour until the next train. While washing my


    hands, a beautiful woman appeared next to me. She had long silky ck hair and silver eyes; sporting


    ripped skinny jeans, a simple shirt and a ck leather jacket. She smirked at me as she leaned against


    the counter next to me.


    "Do I know you?" I asked in confusion. She giggled beforeing closer to me. I took a cautious step


    back and I looked around the empty bathroom for a weapon. I couldn''t find one.


    "No, but I know you... Lotus Heart," she answered. My only option was to run. Leaving my bag behind, I


    sprinted out of the bathroom and out of the train station. I ran down the sidewalk as fast as I could.


    When I nced behind me, I didn''t see anyone following, but when I turned around, I ran right into the


    girl who stalked me in the bathroom. I gasped as something sharp pieces my chest. I fell to my knees


    and gasped for the air I wasn''t receiving as the sharp object was pulled out of my chest.


    "Aivi!" I heard a scream in the distance. The woman turned to dust right in front of my eyes as someone


    cradled me into their chest. Looking up, I saw Yong. I smiled to the best of my ability as my bloodied


    hand came up to touch his face gently.


    "You weren''t supposed toe after me. I didn''t want to put you in danger too," I croaked out as best


    as I could. He held me hand against his cheek as his eyes closed tightly. Tears dropped onto my face


    from his eyes.


    "I told you I would protect you! I knew what I was up against before I promised you. Why couldn''t you


    think of yourself for once. This self sacrificial attitude has never changed. Why did you have to die for


    me again?" He cried. I rubbed my thumb over his cheek before trying to take abored breath.


    "I''m dying, Yong, but I couldn''t watch you get hurt too," I tried to exin.


    "No, you''re not dying. You''re just going somewhere else, okay? You''re not going to die," he rambled.


    "It''s okay. I was prepared for this when I decided to leave," I tried to assure him.


    "Well I wasn''t prepared! And I don''t ept this. I read your letter and I don''t ept it. Why can''t you


    just stay with me and be happy for once?! I told you I would take care of you! I''m going to take you to a


    save ce. I''ll find a way to seal the lotus heart again. I''ll let you live a life where everything doesn''t


    be just fine," he said with determination as he held my hand in his. I was tired from holding on to


    staying alive for so long. I just wanted to say my final goodbye to Yong. I didn''t want him to be too


    upset.


    "I love you," I managed to get out before everything started going ck. I couldn''t force myself to


    breath anymore. It was too painful, so I let go of this life.
