Heartless

"An idol who always cry when she performs."

That's the words they always say about me. My fans said that they feel the pain and the story of my songs when I'm singing. Heartfelt, painful, relatable, little did they know that i sing that way because of a person I will never forget. The person who became the reason of my success.

"Hey, Ace. if i became an idol in the future will you stay by my side?" I said speaking lowly while he's playing with his phone.

He put his phone down and looked at me with a smile.

"How could I not be in that moment. I promise I will."

He hold my hand and pulled me close for a hug.

The warmth and sweetness of his scent. I feel protected and safe. He supports me even if he knows how hard my situation was.

He stayed by my side, untill i become very ill. I was laying on the hospital bed when the doctor came and said to my parents.

"Im sorry, she needs a heart transplant as soon as possible. If we dont get a donor by tomorrow I'm afraid we will have to say good bye to her."

Tears rushed down from their eyes. Ace fell down on his knees and cried beside me.

"Dont leave me Shein, I cant go on without you. We will still reach you dream, okay? Promise me okay?" I felt pain looking at him.

I tried to hold his cheeks and wiped his tears.

"I-i promise, w-we will"

I felt sleepy all of a sudden. When i wake up in the morning I didn't see Ace.

My parents come up to me with a sad face and said that there is one donor who is willing to donate his heart.

Im happy I still am worried, I keep on asking where is Ace but they said they didn't know. They said that maybe Ace went home to feed the dogs.

A long hour have passed and the operation was successful. I'm feel fine but I still didn't see Ace.

I asked my parents for the last time.

"Mom, Dad please be honest I didn't saw Ace since yesterday. I miss him where is he?"

My mom began to cry and kneel before me.

She hold my hand and repeatedly say that they were sorry

"We're sorry, We are so sorry darling. W-We tried to stop him, H-He was the one who donated the heart"

I felt like i was stabbed with a millions of dagger in my chest. I cried.

"N-no! T-thats not true right! Mom! Tell me this is a joke!"

They shaked their heads and cry. I get out of my bed and ran towards the room he was in.

I frozed in my spot when I saw his lifeless cold body.

I falled to the floor and the tear once again rushed to fall out of me.

I went closer to his body.

"A-ace, stop this. Please stop! Wake up! Stop joking around! Y-You promised right?! y-you said we will reach our dreams together! H-How cruel of you to leave me! Y-You broked your promise. I told you over and over again go on without me if Im gone right! Right?!"

"Ace, D-Dont do this to me"

Yet I was too late. Even if I beg all the gods and saints to bring him back I know that, that will never happen.

*Present time*

Its my final concert, here in Seoul. August 23 also the same date when I lost him.

Cold breeze began to hug my body and the crowds cheer while I was singing makes me feel better just like how Ace hugs me.

"Thank you for tonight! And for the final song, Heartless"

Their loud cheer is music itself to my ears.

As I sing its like im going back to the past. Feeling the pain over again.

♪How cruel of you, How cruel of you, you left me alone and break my heart to two, Don't be so kind, Just stop it I! I just cant take this anymore. It's painful, It's sorrowful, Don't leave me, Hey stay with me, You're Heartless♪
