151 Not So Sweet Dreams (1/2)

That night, they decided to sleep in the same bed.

After was.h.i.+ng up and changing into a pair of cute pink pajamas, Yoona made her way to Minhyun's room. When she arrived, he was already sitting on his bed. In his hands, he was scrolling through a tablet, probably looking at work-related materials.

She slowly crept into the bed and sat beside of him. While leaning her head against his shoulder, she snaked her arm around his. G.o.d. She just loved cuddling with him.

However, when she looked down to see what he was working on, it was different from what she'd imagined. Her heart suddenly felt heavy.

”Is that…”

He glanced over. ”Yup, I'm planning Ji-ho's funeral.”

On his screen, he was confirming the location and invitation.

”Who are you inviting?” Yoona asked. From Ji-ho's story, it seemed as though he wasn't close with many people. It would be tricky thinking of a list.

”Well, for starters, I noticed that the orphanage he was in wasn't the best environment. I didn't invite anyone from there. However, at the hospital there were a few nurses and doctors who were fond of him. Also, he seemed to have a few buddies from online. That boy gave his White Mask account's username and pa.s.sword details to me, so I decided to invite the people he was closest to.”

Yoona nodded. ”That sounds like a good amount of people.”

Minhyun pursed his lips for a moment. ”Also, a few higher-up individuals from my company are coming as well. I told them about how Ji-ho has potentially created an AI that could change the world. They wanted to be at the funeral of a future hero.”

She furrowed her eyebrows. ”Okay…”

”Oh, and a few of our business partners are coming as well. Mainly people involved in our technology based supply chain.”

”Isn't that a bit too much…?”

”Well, not compared to the President. He wanted to come too.”

Minhyun was now taking it too far. Yoona couldn't help but open her mouth in shock. ”The P-president? Of the country?!?”

”I was actually supposed to meet him today but I had to cancel because of today's circ.u.mstances. He wanted a follow-up and so I told him about Ji-ho and his potential… And he wanted to come.”

Yoona sent him a blank expression before crossing his arms. ”This isn't a party! You can't invite that many people for a funeral.”

Minhyun stayed silent for a moment before nodding. ”You're right. I'll revoke the President's invitation to come.”

”That's not what I meant!”

He chuckled before ruffling her hair. ”I know what you mean. Don't worry.”

His cheeks slightly reddened in embarra.s.sment. ”I think I got too excited bragging about how great Ji-ho is. Now everyone is eager to see him, knowing that I rarely give out compliments.”

She giggled. ”That makes a lot more sense.”

Then, Yoona pursed her lips. ”Well, I know for a fact that Ji-ho would really like having the President at his funeral.”

”Yeah,” Minhyun whispered. ”He would.”

With that one statement, the air quickly changed to a depressing atmosphere. Both of them could imagine Ji-ho's smiling face, bragging about having the President at his funeral. He would really love it. Truly.

If he was here, he would brag to everyone in the world, emphasizing on his 'importance' It would've been annoying… But cute at the same time...

The tears began to well up in her eyes. But, she quickly wiped them with her sleeve. After all, this was not what Ji-ho would want. He wanted for them to be happy, even after his death.
