"Changkyun, about the song. I think it's good to put into the album. You wrote a good one!" Jooheon hyping up Changkyun.

He smiles, thanking his brother. He couldn't believe he would sing this song one last time in 2 weeks. He couldn't wait, but he just want time to stop right at this moment. He wants to spend more time with his family. His monbebes, his parents, brothers, and Jiyeon.

A notification pops out. Changkyun's heart is racing, afraid Jooheon saw that.

From : Dr.Kim

Changkyun, don't forget about our appointment today. And please eat your medicine regularly.

He puts down his phone after reading the message. Jooheon looked at him with a normal expression. Phew, he didn't saw that.

Changkyun excuse himself from Jooheon's studio to grab lunch. He needs to eat lunch now so that he can take his medicines. He walks around their company's road. He found a Japanese restaurant. He smiles, remembering how much Jiyeon likes sushi.

He enters the restaurant and consume his lunch. After that, he eats his medicine like his doctor asked to. He then proceed to go to the hospital for his announcement with Dr.Kim.

His heart is pounding. He knew the results way long before this. He knew he can't live long. He knew he will leave soon. But why is this so nerve-wracking?

"Good evening, Changkyun. How are you today?" Dr.Kim asks politely.

"I'm good, doctor." Changkyun answers.

They proceed with the examination on Changkyun. Changkyun doesn't know what to do. How do he tell his members about wanting to do the promotion sooner than the actual date? He's afraid, he can't sing with his members anymore with this album. He's afraid he can't sing his song for Jiyeon, for Monbebes the last time. He's afraid. He wants to see them longer.

"Guys, I know it's been a hard practice. This album is taking up almost all of our energy. But, CEO asked us to move the promotion date to next week. Means, we only have a few days more to practice.I'm sorry I can't oppose his order. I know we can do this." Shownu said, earning grunts from all the members except Changkyun. He is grateful, as if God heard him.

Dr. Kim's words are ringing inside his head, "I'm afraid you can't make it until the next 2 weeks. Don't waste your time, and make memories with your family and friends. I hope you are strong enough to handle this"
And just like that, he has a chance to sing his last song, but can't be with them a little longer.

This promotion will overlaps with their Seoul Concert. They will include songs from this album in their concert later.

-
They just finished practice. Changkyun told his members that he wants to take some fresh air. He walks around the city, embracing the air, the engines noises, tall buildings around him, coffee aroma from the coffee shops.

'This might be the last time' he thought to himself.

-
He folds the 4th letter. He is writing letter to his people. He doesn't want to leave them with bad memories. He wants them to remember him and their moments with smile.

He smiles at all the letters he wrote. He thinks he's cheesy, and glad he will not face them with his cheesiness. His smile turns into a frown real quick. It was time for him to write a letter to his favourite person. Jiyeon.

He writes the letter sincerely, pouring out every words he wanted to tell her. Countless sorry and I love you is in Jiyeon's letter. He hope she likes it.

-

Jiyeon sends him messages every single day, like how she used to when they were still together. She never hates Changkyun. She knew he just wanted a break, maybe he was feeling overwhelmed by all the things that's been going on. Changkyun reads all of them without missing a single message. Although he is sad Jiyeon never visits them anymore.

"Changkyun, why Jiyeon never visit us anymore? I miss her," Jooheon pouts, missing his friend.

Kihyun chirped in, "They're not in good terms right now. Maybe they're trying to sort it out by taking a break off each other,"

"Ah really? It's okay. It's not always flowery road in relationships. I hope you can sort it out soon. Don't worry, you got this!" Wonho tries to cheer up Changkyun, the members all nodded.

"Thanks, hyung." Changkyun smiles bitterly.

"Okay, let's continue. The showcase is tomorrow," Shownu shouts, grabbing their attention.

'I will miss this,' Changkyun said in his heart.

-

"And now it's the time for our maknae's song. Changkyun wrote this song secretly without telling us and I can say that honestly it's so good. I'm sure Monbebe will be touched after listening to this song." Hyungwon introducing 'I Miss You'.

Changkyun, blushing while holding a phone to look at the comments. Monbebes are excited and couldn't wait to hear it.

He fought his tears throughout the whole song. His mind wanders around to many places. He won't forget this atmosphere, this scene. Him, with his members, singing his last song together.

He looks at each one of them with a sincere smile. Trying to capture them one by one. He is so grateful to have them. He hopes his members know that. He wouldn't trade them for anything else. Their smiles matter the most to him.
-

That night, he checks their V Live showcase once again to read all the comments. He is happy that Monbebes left positive and sweet comments on his song. He smiles, and he can feel his heart breaking. He remembers every single Monbebes who came to their fanmeeting. He can't imagine making them sad with his departure. Just as he was feeling like he could break down at any second, a message pops out,

From : Yeon-ie <3
'I hope you had a good day. The showcase was good. 'I Miss You' is a good song. I'm so proud of you, Kyun. I miss you too.'

And with that, he broke down in tears.

-

'I miss you too, Kyun-ah. Good night, love"
Jiyeon cries to sleep again today.
