Let Them Bleed Together
It was only after my boyfriend, Julian Mercer, received his HIV diagnosis that he finally understood what his childhood friend, Luna Sullivan, truly meant by "life and death together".
In my previous life, after Julian collapsed from anemia, Luna insisted on donating blood to him.
I fought with everything I had to stop it. I told him that Luna had already contracted HIV. If she donated blood to him, he would be infected as well.
He refused to believe me.
Luna cried and swore that she had never even had a boyfriend. To prove her innocence, she climbed onto the rooftop and pretended she was going to jump to her death.
However, she slipped. She missed her footing and fell to her death from the building.
To avenge her, Julian conspired with our classmates to kidnap me. He strangled me with his own hands.
I still remember his furious roar.
"This is all because of your slander! You killed Luna! I will make you pay for her life!"
When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day of the blood transfusion. I watched as Julian lay there, already receiving blood from his beloved Luna.
I smiled faintly.
HIV?
Fine.
