"W-Where am I?"

"You’re in your room" I slowly adjust my eyes and slowly turned my head on where the voice came from, it was Jin standing in front of the door, leaning while he crossed his arms.

"Good evening, sleepy head."

"Jin? what are you doing here in the room-" My arm suddenly ached, it hurts when I tried to stand up, I held my arm and noticed its all cleaned up and there are bandages around on my injured arm. I looked at him, he was still leaning at the door and she stood straight and places both of his hands in the pocket.

“I treated your wound, while you were sleeping" He approached me and sat beside me, he grabbed my arm gently the one who were injured and look to it closely

"Why are you fighting?"

"J-Jin, Let go of my arm, I obviously got into a fight, I dint expect that someone would really fight me on my way escaping there" I grabbed my arm back and he stood up sighing

"I'm leaving" I was shocked by what he said what does it mean he’s leaving? In my room?

"You won’t see me around here for a while" What?! I wanted to look at him but I forced myself not to look

"Why are you leaving?" Was it because I always get mad at him? Why do I seem to have a guilty conscience?

"If you’ll leave, the princess won’t have a hundred percent safety-"

"Hey, I will only be gone for a few years for training and business to do" he said

"Besides, you’re here. I’m sure the empire and the princess are safe, also the princess is powerful, what’s there for you to worry about?" there was silence after he said those, I always wanted him to leave but now that he’s leaving why do I seem sad? How did I feel? I don't want him to leave but I can't tell. I slowly looked at him and I saw him standing there looking at me giving me that small smile.

“What?” he asked giving me that teasing look that he always uses to make me pissed off, I gave him that a little glare look at him and he scoffed at me

“I know that look, are you trying to say you’re going to miss me? Or you want me to stay?” i just stare at his face, I didn’t answer, what for? You wanted him to leave and now He’s right, I want him to stay.

"So, I guess that’s a ‘No’ then, well I’ll get going" Jin turned around, I didn't know what I was doing, I supposed to grab his jacket but I grabbed his pinky finger instead. He stopped, but he didn’t turn around to look at me.

"Jin, before you leave, can I make a request?" he did not answer, but I know he’s listening

"While you're not here, please come back soon" I said “And also if you get into a fight, take care of yourself, you still owe me your life. So, don't you dare die" I let go of his pinky finger and Jin said nothing even that owe part was a joke, I saved his life once before when he was at danger. I heard a low chuckle; I know that was a chuckle but he continued walking towards the door and stopped as he about to turn the door knob

"By the way, do me a favor"

"Don't forget me and my handsome face okay?” He’s really annoying

"See ya" he gave me one last look and he smiled and came out of my room; I feel alone now.

                                                                                                JIN

"But the truth is..."

I went out of her room, but before leaving I was leaning at her outside door, I was dumbfounded while turning a little blank, mind is all blank since I told her I am leaving. I don’t really want to leave, but I have to and I have no choice because I have duties.

"I will never forget you because every time you sleep, you are like an angel sleeping soundly." So, don't die

"Don't worry" I started walking away from her room heading to the exit door talking to myself like a crazy person smiling

"I will not die, because you're still not mine, so take care of yourself”

Four years later

“Shut it now”

It’s already morning, I got up and opened the curtains wide and greeted by the sunrays that got into my eyes and stretched my body as I could. I could see the green trees swinging by the wind outside my balcony together with those bird’s flying.

“Well, that’s a good sleep," I looked at the alarm clock and its already 11:30 in the morning, it’s almost afternoon.

“It’s already quarter to noon” I said as I stare at the clock on my side table

“What’s this, why do I feel like I forgot something or what?” something’s not right. Then a notification from my phone pops up and I walked into the table to see what it is.

"I’m dead" I immediately got up and went straight to the walk-in closet to grab a hoodie and shoes.

“I’m dead! I’m dead!”
