FADED WHISPERS: Veiled Emotions

He stood there silently, looking down at the wounds on his chest, but when he turned to stare at her, he had a smile on his face.
She smiled in return when she saw the brilliant smile on his face, the same smile that had drawn her to him like a moth to the fire, even when her instincts screamed 'danger'. "It's finally come to an end," she thought.
But her eyes widened immediately when she saw his body. Tears burst forth like a small stream as she ran to him. "No! Win!"
She couldn't stop crying when she saw how he seemed to be on death's doorstep. "I'll take you to the hospital right now!"
He shook his head when he heard her say those words. "No hospital. Right now, you are my hospital. I want to take in this beautiful sight that is you, nothing else should come first now, got it?"
She nodded her head frantically like it'd bring him out of death's doorway. "Why?" She asked with a heavy heart.
"I asked someone that question before, and I was left heartbroken some more seconds after that person gave me a reply," He said with a smile.
He raised his hand to feel her face and a small smile of satisfaction appeared on his face. "I'm quite happy, my dear plum blossom, and sad at the same time. I'm happy because I didn't lose you this time, and sad because you might be all alone... because of my selfishness. This time, I changed my fate... " His hands dropped, and his eyes lost their luster immediately, but the smile never receded, they remained on his face.
The smile on her face vanished without a trace immediately. "No, Win. Don't do this to me, don't do this to me, Win!"

His name was Winston, but everyone called him Win as an abb. He looked cool and gentle and easygoing, but only Melody knew that it was just a front. She would fight hard to uncover his deepest secrets, even at the cost of fallen in love, with him.
