144 The Last Awakening (2/2)

Minhyun's ears turned red. He tried to cover the lower half of his face with his hand, but he failed to hide his embarra.s.sment.

Although the way Minhyun expressed his emotions was unique, Ji-ho could feel that old man's sincerity. His heart was warm. He was grateful. Everytime they talked, Minhyun wouldn't pay attention to him and only treat Yoona well. He didn't realize that he had this much influence in Minhyun's mind.

Perhaps, it was good that he didn't die.

”I see…”

A faint smile appeared on Ji-ho's face. ”You're a real tsundere you know that?”

Minhyun c.o.c.ked his head. ”What's that?”

There was a moment of silence.

”Just look at your actions and you'll find the answer,” Ji-ho answered.

”.....” He was going to search for the definition later on. One thing Minhyun hated was not knowing something.

Even in this dire situation, Ji-ho had a way of lifting up the atmosphere.

But of course, in the end, they had to face reality.

Ji-ho let out a sigh. ”So I'm really dying now huh?”

Normally, Yoona would scold him for saying such words, but she couldn't utter a reply. What he was saying was true. She couldn't deny it any longer.

”You know what,” he continued. ”I'm glad that I'm dying with you guys by my side. It's going to be a good last memory.”

”You guys better not forget about me okay?”

Yoona let out a sniffle. ”Of course we won't. How could we?”

”I guess I did go overboard with trying to make myself stand out,” he said with a weak laugh. ”But hey. Guess where that left me? Now I have people staying with me until I pa.s.s away. I never expected for this to happen.”

Thinking back, Yoona realized that she hadn't met anyone from Ji-ho's personal life. Was he close to anyone other than them? Also, the mystery about his family still remained.

”Why is that?” She asked him. The Ji-ho she knew was lovable and sociable. She was sure there would be many other people who would love him. If Minhyun could become emotionally attached to the boy then anyone else could.

Ji-ho took this time to think. It was finally time to reveal what he'd been hiding.

”You know. I'm not always the happy boy you think I am. It's just that when I'm with you guys, I can't help but feel happy.”

Minhyun cleared his throat. ”That's nice.”

Ji-ho let out a giggle. ”Yeah. Now, I think it's time to tell you guys about my past. Maybe this was the reason to why G.o.d let me survive for a few more hours... So that I can share this with you.”
