Dr. Yoo's P.O.V.

Cough' Wheeze' Cough'

Grampa: Yoo, I don't have much time left <cough> When I die, put my grave next to your mom's <cough>

Dr. Yoo: Dad...

Grampa: Yoo, be a good boy and hand me that bottle of whiskey over there.

Dr. Yoo: Why the hell is there a bottle of whiskey lying around in your room?

Grampa: Eh-heh-heh-heh <cough> Just do it! And please do me a favor and grant your old man's last wish.

Dr. Yoo: What wish?

Grampa: To have a last drink with my son... aaand, call Ryu. I wanna have a drink with my legitimate fabulous grandson too.

Dr. Yoo: Let's just have tea instead of whiskey and nope I won't call Ryu.

Grampa: YOO-- <cough> Do it or I'll stop breathing! <troll face>

Dr. Yoo: Okay fine but I won't call Ryu. Anything else?

Grampa: Get me something nice that goes well with whiskey.

Dr. Yoo: 'Kay.

Grampa: Oh and Yoo!

Dr. Yoo: What?

Grampa: As for my beautiful grand daughter, she doesn't really talk to me that much. If I die without getting the chance to talk to her, tell her that I have loved ever since she was born. <smiles>

Dr. Yoo: Orrr I could just call her over.

Grampa: Don't. I want her to come and talk to me willingly, I don't want her to be forced. And please don't tell her that I'm not doing well.

Dr. Yoo: You say so.

Shimizu's P.O.V.

I am a no-good grand daughter... that's because ever since I was a kid, never have I ever had a proper and nice conversation with him. I always tried to avoid him... I don't even know why I tried to avoid him. Now that I think of it, he was very kind to me. When I had no one, he was always there for me but I always ran away from him. I feel so guilty.

Shimizu: G--<hic> grampa s-said that? <sobers>

Dr. Yoo: Shimizu, I'm quite disappointed at you.

Shimizu: Grampa... uhuhu... I'm so sorry!!!

Dr. Yoo: It's too late.

《There's nothing I could do but just cry and cry.》

Ryu's P.O.V.

This can't be! Shimizu is wrong! It's not my fault! Arrgghh!!! I need some air! Gotta get out of this f_çķ¡ň' room!

I walked out of the Inn.

Ryu: THIS IS F_(Ķ¡Ń' B_ĹŁ§#¡Ť!!! <punches the wall> IT'S-- not... my fault... <cries>

《Tch. Come to think of it, Shimizu has a point! I guess it is my fault... I wasn't responsible enough for him...》

Ryu: Now I'm starting to blame myself... <weeps> grampa...

《My grampa was the best. He was like 1/2 part of my life. Since I was a kid, I was so close to him. He was a funny old man. We always bond with each other by pranking people... he was fun to be with. When we arrived at this place, he was still strong... we even managed to make fun of Inu... hah... I always took care of him because he took care of me when I was young. Shimizu has no right to blame me for his death. I was always there by his side when he felt lonely because people tend to ignore him. People ignore him because he's already old. We made lots and lots of fun memories... I-- I...》

Ryu: Grampa... wherever you are right now... I just wanna let you know that you're an awesome grampa. <smiles>
