Her eyes immediately landed over to her mother and Sungjae, blinking a couple of times before staring over the ceiling.

"Sooyoung-ah." Her mother ran over to her, tapping her cheeks before sighing in relief. She couldn't saw Sungjae coming close, he was rather afraid to take a step closer over her. "Gwenchana." She smiled weakly over to her mother as she breathed.

"You keep on making me worry." Her mom sighs, before she chuckled weakly. "Mian, eomma.", She squeezes her hand, before glancing over to Sungjae who was busy over the phone from behind.

"What do you mean?" He snarled, "The statement is already released saying that you're dating Park Sooyoung. The pictures were even released as well, and I don't know how they can get a piece of it. I'm pretty sure that the netizens are in chaos right now." Sungjae couldn't help but sigh heavily, "Where are the members?", "They were currently doing a sudden press conference without you, Minhyuk had admitted his relationship with Moonbyul as well. It made the situation bigger for BTOB. The CEO is on fire."

His eyes widen, "Minhyuk-hyung?", "Yes. We're currently worried about the possible response of the Netizens, mostly the melodies in this scene."

He bit his lower lip, before groaning. "He's really testing us.", "He keeps on suggesting to put your group in hiatus since the case worsens.", "And?", "We're still looking forward for the week reaction of your fans- which is expected to be mixed. Is Joy fine now?", "Huh? Yes, she just woke up.", "I'll call you later. Make sure not to go out from the hospital, it's a good thing that you're both private now. Send me your location and i'll talk to the staff to keep her records confidential.", "Hyung, gomawo." He trailed off, almost tearing up over his concern. "Yah, you're like my son now. This will pass sooner or later, your members also told you not to blame yourself, arasso?", "Ne." He mumbled, dropping the call.

"Gwenchana?" She flinched, hearing her voice all of a sudden. "Ne." He blinks a couple of times before turning to her. "I'm going back to my work to file a sick leave, arasso? I'll come back tomorrow. Please, take care of Joy." Her mom mumbled, holding his hand. "I.. I will." He mumbled, as her mother smiles only to turn to Joy as she kissed her forehead. "I'll be going, daughter. I love you.", "Hm, nado." Joy smiles weakly, before her mom left as Sungjae locks the door, nervously looking at her.

She smiled. "Why are you like that?", "Jinja, mianhe." He mumbled, almost tearing up as she giggled. "Come here." She motions him with her weak hands. He sunk over the seat near her bed. "What happened?", "Don't think about it!" He retorted. "You're still on the hospital, don't think about my situation.", "Yah, this is not just about me." Joy was eager to pick a fight even if she's lying weakly on the bed. He glares over her, "Minhyuk hyung... he's in a relationship with Moonbyul noona. It made the situation worse." He trails off as Joy's eyes widen. "Jinja!?" He nodded, sighing before gently holding her hand. "Mianhe, Joy.", "Why are you sorry?" She tried her best to look at him. "This is all my fault.", "There you are again." She mumbled, before lightly pinching his cheek as he looks over her. "It's already here, blaming yourself won't help at all."

"But still... look at you.", "It's not like I'm dead or anything." She smiles weakly, before he holds her hand that was resting on his cheek. "What did they tell you about us?", "Break us up." He mumbled as her eyes soften. "And what did you tell?", "I'm not breaking up with you."

"Waeyo?", "I told you, I'm not letting you go. I don't want to put others over my decision. It's just... I just want us." He murmured, before ducking his head over the edge of the bed. He couldn't help but weep at this moment.
