One True Love

'How could he have ever joked about that?' was the only thought going on in Jongin's head while he walked around, towards a no particular destination. After a few minutes of walking, he stopped to see he had unconciously walked upto where Roxanne was living. He hesitated before walking upto the door and ringing the door bell.
"Who is it?" came a voice from the speaker, it sounded like Chaelin.
"Jongin. Please let me in, I need to talk to Roxanne." He replied and there was silence for a few minutes. Just when he thought that Roxanne needed some time by herself, a tune came from the speakers, signalling that the door was open.
Jongin took a deep breath before setting his foot inside the clean dorm.

"Hey Jongin, what's up?" Roxanne greeted him warmly with a smile while she was carrying Jessica in her hands and he felt guilty. He didn't know why but he felt guilty. For her not knowing the reason why Sehun broke up with her.

"Hey." He smiled at her sadly and reached out his hands to hold his daughter. Jessica immediately lifted her arms and kissed her father on the cheeks, delighted to see him. "How are you?" He asked to Roxanne and she sat down on the couch while he twirled Jessica around.

"I'm fine" were the lies flying straight out of her mouth. She wanted to know the reason why she wasn't enough for Sehun. She wanted to know why her. She wanted to know all sorts of things that weren't exactly posible at the time.

All Jongin could do was give her a helpless smile. His mental state was defeated. He didn't know what he had to do. Should he tell her? Should he wait until Sehun tells her?
When exactly is that time going to come when Sehun tells her? His mind argued with him and he sighed in defeat, making Roxanne look at him weirdly.

"What's wrong with you?" She asked, her voice sounding a little bit edgy than she wanted.

"I'm sorry." Jongin whispered and Roxanne frowned.

"For what?" She asked and Jongin shook his head, having a war in his mind about telling her what actually happened.

"I might as well tell you." He set Jessica on the floor who crawled towards one of her toys that lay on the ground.

"Tell me what?" She asked and Jongin sat down opposite her, running his hands through his hair.

"The truth. Okay, this is gonna take a lot of energy and effort." He sighed into his hands and Roxanne stood up.

"Shall I make you some coffee then?" She offered, seeing him at such a state and he just gratefully nodded. Roxanne's heart sped up. She was nervous, so nervous that she accidentally spilled hot water on her hands. She quickly ran her hands under cold water and delivered the coffee to Jongin who was still in the same position - his face buried in his hands.

"Jongin?" She said out softly and set the coffee on the table, making Jongin flinch a little.

"You're here already?" He asked and took the coffee in his hands and took a sip, the hot liquid burning his tongue but somehow soothing his dry throat.

"So what do you have to tell me?" Roxanne asked, playing with her fingers that made Jongin realise that she must be nervous.

"I don't know how to break it to you." Jongin cursed and Roxanne grew more nervous.

"Tell mer already." Roxanne whispered and Jongin looked at her, his eyes soft with pain.

"Sehun has cancer." He breathed out and Roxanne felt like her world stopped revolving. Her heart sped up as she realised what just came out of Jongin's mouth. Her heart ached at this cruel reality as tear began to flow out of her eyes, down her cheeks endlessly. She choked on air, took deep breaths to calm herself while Jongin could do nothing but watch her.
He felt like an idiot, a murderer. Even though he hadn't physically murdered anyone, he felt like he was responsible for murdering their love.

"You're lying." She choked out the words, hoping, praying that he was only joking, that this was a sick prank that he was playing on her but all she got in reply was a shake of his head.

"I'm sorry. He knew he had cancer and he thought he would leave you alone. He was afraid of how you might take it. He thought you wouldn't love him anymore. That idiot." Jongin shook his head and Roxanne looked at him in confusion, her eyes still flowing with tears.
"I'm saying that the girl that is standing in front of me loves Sehun with all her heart. She is crying for his life. She loves him too much and he's an idiot not to realise it. Sehun thinks you hate him, he wants you to hate him." Jongin explained and Roxanne's heart sank.

"What should I do?" She whispered finally, wiping her own tears.

"Go get him. Give him a slap for lying to him. For not telling you earlier. He's probably at the hospital now." He whispered, feeling his heart drop when she didn't miss a beat to run into her room and come back with her coat on.

"Thank you for telling me Jongin." She waved at him, her eyes sad and he waved back at her.

His tears finally spill from his eyes as the door slammed shut. His heart ached. Why wouldn't it? He just learnt to let go of the woman he fell in love with.
