"It was my sixteenth birthday when I was diagnosed with cancer." I felt him look at me as I just stared ahead listening to the whispers of the ocean.
"Hey, happy sweet sixteen, guess what, you have cancer." I felt the tears starting to sting my eyes.
Mu Kai took my hand and whispered.
"You do not have to do this." I would not look at him because if I stared into his beautiful eyes coz I would have lost it.
So I proceeded with my story.

"Wen Wen," he whispered as he leaned closer to me.
