For Life || EXO D.O.||

Chapter 23: Rest in Peace

"In the name of the father, and of the son, and of the Holy Spirit. The grace of the Lord and the Love of the Holy Spirit be with you all"

"And with your spirit".

The funeral service has started and this time she sees Suho also crying beside So Young. Xiumin couldn't help but feel sad and D.O also started crying in the process of starting to comfort his members. Sehun who had not stopped his crying through all the night fainted once in the middle of the night. The 9 men couldn't help but cry for the soul who they are not going to see again.

Three persons were selected yesterday night to give speech about the deceased. It turns out to be Suho, Jiah and Tao. Suho stands on the podium with tear stricken eyes and starts with a shaky voice.

"Greetings to all present here. First of all I would like to thank you for attending this funeral service of my younger sister Go EunShin. To say about EunShin there are a lot of things but today I stand here as a witness of EunShin's sweet and gentle friendly nature. At first we were not sure of having a fan as a friend but looking back at the days, I would have regretted if I did not accepted her as a friend like sister. EunShin is a person of great brains and greater potential, but God being the unchanging, he took her away from us. If only I could turn back time, I would like to enjoy the days I treasured with her so that I won't have any regrets. I once again thank for giving me this chance for talking about EunShin. Rest in Peace my little sister"

All could feel their eyes wetter than usual after hearing Suho's words which were spoken from his heart. Tao went next, still crying from the fact that his favourite friend had to leave him like this.

"Greetings to all in the name of Christ. I am standing here as a witness of my dear Friend Go EunShin's well wisher.
First of all I would like to thank the Almighty God for taking her away from us. Actually she suffered a lot due to her body's condition and her frail body couldn't take all the pain that she was suffering. At least in this way she would stop her suffering from her body and chest pain. This world is too cruel against her for not enjoying her life but I would definitely say that I am really glad to have her as my friend even when she is not by my side. Our Dear EunShin, you have suffered very hard and tried your level best in surviving in this world for 24 complete years. Our minds and hearts will always remember you and be happy in your afterlife my friend."

All of them felt the same way how Tao felt. Even thought it is a good thing to be thought of, it is also sad in a different way. Jiah went next and Hye Joo could see that she is very nervous about this thing. But she never shows it in her face.

"Welcome everyone present here. Thank you all for attending this service. I am standing here as a witness for Go EunShin's life traveller. Our friendship starts back from when we were in small skirts and short ponies as classmates in kindergarten. She was still the same kind yet naughty type of girl who shoots the right person at the right time. She is one of the bravest women I have seen in my life to fight a battle with a disease in her body. EunShin ah , You may have lost the battle of overtaking this disease but you have won the battle of life. She is the only person to whom I can confidently open up to. The only soul that comforts me in my darkest days. Even though she lived in pain, she always cared for my problems and she never talked about how irritating to be in a lockdown for nearly six years. She hated getting injections but she never wanted her life to end so early. I hope you will have a life that you have wanted in your next life. I hope we can be the same Jiah and EunShin in our next life. Thank you all for patiently listening to my speech and please pray for the peace of her soul. May your soul Rest in Peace.

After half and hour, the mass ended and they went to the graveyard and all of them cried their hearts out for nearly half and hour because this will be their last time seeing her for this lifetime. They tried their best to control our hearts and tear glands and buried her safely. Her body is peacefully now resting in a graveyard and they hope that she can rest in peace.

The boys first dropped Hye Joo and Her mom in their house. She could feel the nostalgia hitting her like waves where she spend a good part of the life with Eun Shin. She went to the washroom and took an deep bath to forget the memories of today.

On the other hand, the boys arrived the dorm and went to their respective rooms to be alone for a while. Suho was not with them as he went with So Young. Chen went inside his room and opened the letter that was given by Jiah to him. She said that it was written by Eun Shin.

Dear Jongdae,
By the time you read this letter, my existence in this world would have been erased. I know what you are experiencing now will hurt you and will taunt you forever but please don't be like that. I'm sorry that I could fill your promises. I couldn't give you children, a son with a voice like you and a daughter with a face like me. But you will find a girl in your life in the near future. Please don't be sad of what happened right now and try to forget it. Anyways, thank you so much for being with me and putting up with all my tortures and naughty crankiness. Please don't spoil your future by thinking of this past between us. You know that you have a job which has the world's attention on you right? So don't be careless and try to be a responsible man. Never ever regret the decisions you make and don't go back once if you have tested the waters. I have always said this but this time I put my 100% into it and I'm saying
I Love You
Thank you
~with love
Your No.1 Fangirl,
Go EunShin

Jongdae could feel his tears running down his cheeks. He couldn't help but think the times they have spent together and the memories they have created together. He just shook his head and kept the letter in his draw.

'Now I know that, A love that's too deep will bring a sad ending ' . Jongdae suddenly remembered the lyrics of a song that he sung with Chanyeol the other day in one of the reality shows. He just thinks and sighs about how this suits his situation right now

For he had loved Eun Shin so much, he never thought how he would cope up after her death. Standing under the shower, he saw his reflection in the mirror.

"You're incompetent, Kim Jongdae. You are not worth to protect your loved ones. You are just a man of trashy character. You're worthless. I hate you Jongdae." Chen muttered to Himself.

Just then a rattling in his bathroom door startled him.  There emerged a Byun Baekhyun who peeped his head through the door. "What do you want Byun?" Chen asked. "Just wanted to say to you that I love you so much" Baekhyun said and flashed a Chu of kisses to Chen.

Chen smiled at the thought of his best friend and brother. Baekhyun never fails to bring laughter to his face. No wonder that he became his close with him during their auditions. He finished his shower and came to his room to see Park Chanyeol waiting for him.

"What happened Chanyeol?" Chen asked. "Jongdae-ah! I just wanted to say you that I love you so much for now and then forever" Chanyeol said his tounge sticking out of his mouth

"What happened to you guys? First Baekhyun came and said I love you and now you. What happened?" Chen became curious on what the guys were planning. "Just wanted to let you know that we're here for you so that you can count on us" Chanyeol added.

"You brat! Come here" he started chasing  Chanyeol around the house. The other members who saw the sight of this felt relief that their Jongdae is smiling after the incident. Even though it is early for them to make him smile, his smile just fills their day happily.

D.O on the other hand wondered whether Hye Joo has done anything after the incident. He called her mother and asked, but to his response, she just slept after her shower. D.O decided to comfort her after the day ends. He started planning on how to comfort her.
