But she was only a human, and human always wondered, always wishing for something even if it were far out of their reach.

"Here you go." Kazuha pushed scolding drink to Hanni.

"Careful, it's hot."

"Thank you," Hanni muttered lowly.

Kazuha nodded slightly. "Look, I'm sorry for what happen to Minji. I hope she'd recover and-and able to be with you and the kids soon."

"How do you know?”

Kazuha bit her lower lip, "I just landed from Switzerland a few hours ago. I brought you some chocolates because I know how much you loved them," she whispered the last part. She then shook her head and chuckled nervously.

"I think the triplets will love it, they're really good. So I stopped by your office and your secretary informed me the news. I came straight here, I tried to call you but you didn't pick up your phone. I had not had breakfast so here I am at the cafeteria when I saw you spacing out."

Hanni's smile of appreciation didn't reach her eyes. Nevertheless, it was enough for Kazuha.

"If you need a friend," Kazuha squeezed Hanni's hand.

"I'm here. I will always be here."

Just in case Minji... Kazuha didn't dare to say it out loud. The last thing she wanted was to push Hanni away. But should Minji go, she'd be by Hanni's side and never let her go for the second time.

"Are you happy? You do seem so." Ryujin folded her arms, looking at the sleeping Minji angrily.

"Come on, Minji. I know you're a jerk, alright? But I thought you've changed for the better. Show me, come on!"

Ryujin walked back and forth, biting her nail frustratingly.

"It's been days! Enough already! Wake the hell up!" She threw her hands in the air.

"You've rested enough. Open your eyes, dumbass!"

Outside the room, Yujin, Haerin, and Minjeong were watching Ryujin in silence. They could see what the general doctor did through the glass.

"Do you really want to die and get it over? Alright, you can die and leave whatever... here. You die, maybe it'll be good to you. You don't have to go through the long and painful recovery. You're just done."

Ryujin paused, waiting for any sign Minji hopefully made. "Goddamn it! Don't be a selfish asshole, Minji! There are people here who want you to make it. They need you to make it alive." She emphasized the last phrase.

"She's talking trash again, isn't she?" Minjeong asked to no one.

Yujin turned over to the nurse station, starting to write the progress on Minji's file. "Ryujin has always believed if she triggers Minji enough, she'll wake up just to beat her."

“And she's okay to have a bruise on her face?"

"I think she'll punch Minji back and make it even.”

"You should see Hanni, your kids, your family. They're falling apart and you are just sleeping here soundly, acting like nothing happened. Wake the hell up!" Ryujin approached Minji's side.

"I need you to wake up, Minji," Ryujin hissed desperately. Her breath was raging but nothing had changed. Minji didn't twitch a muscle.

The automatic door slid as Ryujin, face like a boiled shrimp, walked out from the room. "Let me know if she finally comes to her senses. I'm never coming here for that dumbass ever again."
