2 MONTHS LATER

11:42 AM / KMJ

"Is she going to wake up soon, doctor?"

"We don't think it'll happen any time soon. We'll manage her for as long as it takes. If you may excuse me, I must go now."

I was in the room where Yoohyeon got hospitalized and I spoke with the doctor appointed for her. He had his statistics in a document with him and said that Yoohyeon's vitals were okay, but she would still be in a sleeping state for some time.

The doctors said it was okay for me to stay with her as long as I don't disturb anyone and only stay when it's visiting hours. It's still not enough for me, I have to be her every single second..

Yoohyeon has been hospitalized for 2 months now and I visited her every single day with new stories to tell her. She hasn't woken up nor moved at all, but I just knew she was listening to everything I was saying.

I sat on the chair next to her and watched the monitor showing her pulse. Everything was normal and she was alive. She had so many tubes and injections around her body to help her breathe and eat since her lung and stomach operations were still healing. Her shoulder was bandaged completely and almost fully healed. I still couldn't believe how strong Yoohyeon really was to endure all that pain and fight through death. I held her hand in mine and lightly caressed it, bringing it to my lips and pecking it.

"Please wake up soon baby. I miss you so much, you don't even know."

And then, someone knocked on the door - it was Bora. She entered with a teddy bear plushie and placed it on the table next to me and sat on the couch opposite of us. She sighed after seeing Yoohyeon still in her sleeping state and leaned back on the couch.

"Morning Bora.."

"Hey hey~. How long has it been now?"

"2 months. I have a feeling she'll wake up soon."

"I hope you're right.. I miss her a lot."

"Well I miss her twice more."

"And I miss her thrice more!"

"No I miss her double and triple and all kinds of more times than you!"

We started bickering in a joking way and right then, Chaewon entered the room. She looked at us and just stared at us weirdly, sitting next to Bora and laying her head on her lap while playing a game on her phone.

"Are you two back at it again? You know very well I am the one that infinitely misses Yooh more than you two."

We annoying scoffed at Chaewon and that broke out a short laughter between us. I hope Yoohyeon knew how well we're getting along now and how closer we got. Chaewon then sat up and turned her head towards me to ask me something.

"Minji, do you think that Yunjin's gang is officially gone now that she's dead?"

"I don't really know.. Sakura told me that most of her members were in jail."

"They better be! They're lucky I don't feel like fighting because I'll definitely chop their heads off with my karate moves."

"Chae, you're awful at fighting."

"You just haven't witnessed my full power yet."

Chaewon got up from the couch and did an air kick that almost made her stumble on her own feet and fall like an idiot. We laughed at her and heard a knock on the door. It was a nurse that was here for her weekly check-up.
