**Hundredth Day (Short Eric Fic) Finished *contact me at: Shinhwa_jjang@hotmail.com

Our 100th day... I didn't know that it would go by this fast... Eric oppa... do you know how much I loved you?

And yet, I look at you, and I know something bad is going to happen tonight. But it's our 100th day... what could happen?

I ignored my feeling... I drew closer to you. I closed my eyes, letting the breeze flow into my hair... landing on your face... I could hear you laughing, too. Such a melodic laugh. Your smile, your eyes... gazing into mine. This day couldn't be better...

You tapped my shoulder, making me wake up. You said, "It's our 101th day now. It's 1. Let's go home. Your parents are going to get mad."

I shook my head. Of course my parents were going to get mad. But they were probably already asleep. I didn't care... I had you by my side. I protested, but you finally made me stand.

But I was still happy... My eyes were half closed, and I was still leaning on your shoulder. You were probably tired. So you pushed me away. I stared at you. You stared at me back with your blank eyes. I shrugged it away. Maybe your shoulder got tired, that's all.

So after five minutes, I was awake, thanks to you. I took your hand. You shook your head madly and shook me away. I was scared. What had happened? You were a complete angel an hour ago. I stared at you, worried. How in the world you got this way... I didn't know.

You said, "I... I don't love you anymore."

I froze. What did you mean? Of course you loved me... We had been together for 100 days. You even bought me a necklace... dinner... a movie... everything. We were so happy together... you couldn't throw away our love like that. I wouldn't let you. But I couldn't say anything. You didn't love me anymore... Tears stung my eyes. I brushed them away, but they kept on coming... like the rain that was falling on us.

I stood away from you, looked at you. Your beautiful eyes... your face... only memories will be left of you. I shook my head. I yelled at you, I slapped you, I kicked you. But nothing hurt you. You just cried too. Why were YOU crying...? You were the one that said that you didn't love me. I hated you.

I ran... without knowing where I was going. I ran away. From you...my worst enemy... Suddenly, I heard what I never thought I would hear before. I only heard it once, when my car swerved out of control. Three loud honks... that sound will haunt me forever. But I felt a hand. A strong wonderful feeling that I would never be able to feel again...

I tumbled. I was covered with dirt, wet. But I was alive. I heard sirens. I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer. Everything went black.

I woke up a day later. I looked everywhere around me. White. I looked at what I was wearing. White... stripes... hospital... I looked at the bed next to me... empty. I frowned. A nurse came in, smiled and said, "You're awake!"

I smiled uneasily and said, "What happened?" The nurse smiled wider. "You almost got hit by a car. But luckily someone saved you."

Now I remembered. Looking to the side after I was pushed... Eric...

"Where is he?"

Her broad smile disappeared. "I'm afraid... he died. I'm sorry. Did you know him? He left a note for you."

I took the paper from you. It read: My dearest... I leave you like this. In a hospital room. I'm sorry. I couldn't take it any longer. I didn't think that I had what it took to make you happy. You deserved someone better. But when I saw the car coming... I had to save you. I had to. But I leave you like this... Goodbye.

Love,
Eric Mun

I tried to stop the tears... But they had a mind of their own. I asked, "When did he die?"

The nurse put on her fake sad face. She didn't even know Eric. She said, "He was put into this room.  Then he wrote the note.  I believe he died 100 minutes after he was put into this room... 100 minutes..."

So, Eric, you decided to leave me after 100 minutes. One minute for every each day that I spent with you. I would have spent 101 days with you if you hadn't left. Then would you have stayed for one more minute... If you had stayed for one more minute, maybe I would have woke up. I would have waked up and I would have been able to see you. But no... I will see you in heaven... Soon, Eric... very soon.

I'm calling the nurse now. I'm asking her right now to give me a pill... so I could go to sleep forever... So I will be able to see you, Eric Mun... Just wait... for one more minute... just one more minute... so we could be with each other forever.
