Should I Let Her Go

"Gising ka na pala..." boses ng isang binata galing sa kusina.

"Chanyeol?" gulat na sagot ni Baekhyun.

He noticed a girl sleeping in the coach, "Dea..death..."

He went to her nearer at pinag masdan ito

"You know what happen last night?" Chanyeol ask him while standing in his back.

"I'm sorry..." Baekhyun said while staring at Death.

"Baekhyun, maling mali ang ginawa mo kagabi but she still let you stay..." Chanyeol said

"Why did she let a man like me who tried raping her stay?" Baekhyun habang nakatitig pa rin sa kanya

"Nabubulag ka na ng sakit na nararamdaman mo, hindi mo alam mas nasasaktan sya" Chanyeol murmured.

"Anong nasasaktan ang sinasabi mo Chanyeol?" pag tatanong namanng binata

"Do you remember what she have taught us in her class."

'Life goes on with or without you'

"Hindi lang sya ang babae sa mundo Baekhyun, I want to say that you can find a person na mas deserve ka but it seems that you and her deserve each other..." dugtong pa nito.

"Will I be able to forget her.." Baekhyun asked.

"She knows you can." Chanyeol answered.

"How did you know?" Baekhyun asked.

Chanyeol did not say anything and just gave him coffee.

Baekhyun then finish his coffee na parang inaatay na magising si Death but

"We should go..." Chanyeol said

Tumayo naman si Baekhyun sa pag kakaupo nito sa harapan ni Death.

"Should we go.. Should I leave her as what she wish for?" Baekhyun said in teary eye.

Chanyeol stared at him and remembered

[FLASHBACK]

"Iuuwi ko na sya. Magpahinga ka na rin Death. Sorry on what happen today." Chanyeol said to her while helping Baekhyun stand up na lasing na lasing pa rin.

"Let him sleep in my bed.. Stay he.. here.. pl.. please." Death said na parang nahihiya.

Nahalata naman ito ni Chanyeol that make a little smile in his face

"Akalain mo yun, Professor Death has this called "shy" aigoooo..." Chanyeol said and paused

Ipinasok na nila si Baekhyun sa kwarto.

"I'll be here para samahan ka. I'll be here. You know that Death, right? I don't know what happen to you, I don't .." Chanyeol paused when Death suddenly said

"You don't know anything.." Death said habang inaayos ang kumot ni Baekhyun.

"Yeah.. I don't.. but I can keep secrets.. Can you keep it this way.. you can have someone that you can share your thoughts, secrets and anything else.." Chanyeol said at saka lumabas ng kwarto.

Death was left in the room with Baekhyun na sobrang lasing na lasing at tulog pa rin.

"I never thought this would happen in my 400 years existence in this world. Someone like you entered my life without me knowing, and I even let you. pabo (바보)... I never know until this time happen.. you believe those words but you need to.."

"I cause you so much pain but I need to.. I cause you heart break cause I have to.. for you to forget me..."

Tears fell from her eyes while holding his hands.

Papasok na sana si Chanyeol ng kwarto to bring water to Death but he stop when he heard Her

"I want to hold your hand like this everyday.. I like to see your face smiling at me.. I like to be with you and make some more memories.. I like you saying.. those words.. that you like me.. that you.. lo... you love me..." Binitawan na nya ang kamay ng binata and continued

"I'm sorry if I need to do this.. We can't be together.. we can't be.. you need to forget me and I need to.. forget you too.. I want to take those words I said the day I hurt you..."

She put the bracelet he gave to him in his wrist, napulot nya to while Chanyeol is putting Baekhyun to bed

"It comes from my heart... I have always wanted to mark you as mine."

Chanyeol saw and heard it..

"I don't want you to be in danger because of me. Even if I can't stay with you, it doesn't mean I will stop this feelings I have for you. You might not be aware but you already catches my heart."

"I don't when and how it start but yes, you already have my heart and you always will. Even though you don't know, It will always be yours."

Death kiss Baekhyun in the forehead and said "Na-do Saranga hae yo (나도 사랑해)"

Chanyeol got shock when he heard her.. and closed the door.

Hinayaan na lang nya si Death na makasama si Baekhyun.

He went to veranda "Death... umpisa pa lang talo na pala ako sa puso mo.. sa simula pa lang, its him.. its him you love" sabi nito sa isip nya.

He went back to the room and saw Death na nakahiga ang kalahati ng katawan nito sa kama.

Gigisingin nya sana ito but he notice that she has a fever. "Haiiist....."

Binuhat nya ito at dinala sa coach. Kinumutan nya ito at naupo sa lamesa sa harapan ni Death and said "Anong pumipigil sayo para gawin mo to Death.. I can't understand.. You must be right, I really don't know anything.. But why?"

[END OF FLASHBACK]

"We should go Baekhyun.." Chanyeol said at lumabas na ng pinto.

Bago lumabas ng bahay ni Death si Baekhyun, he said this word in her ears.

"I dream last night.. It was a happy dream.. it was you saying that you love me too... but it was a sad dream too cause I know, I need to wake up from that dream and accept the reality that you won't love me like I love you..."

"You said you didn't like me nor will love a man like me. That was a lie, right?"

Tears fell from his eyes and kiss Death in her lips.. "Whenever I come to you, all my problems seem to become lighter. So, how can I live without seeing you? Its a torture." and left.

She then open her eyes na kanina pa gising at inaantay lamang silang maka alis

"You need to let me go Baekhyun, you need to let go.." she murmured
