Seoho stayed for a few hours. Letting Hwanwoong catch up with everything, from the current news to their university life and to the latest gossips. Hwanwoong was laughing at something Seoho said when they heard a knock.


"Come in!" Seoho called to whoever was knocking and went back to telling Hwanwoong about the first day on his job.


Two men came into the room, one Hwanwoong recognized as the stranger that took care of him, but the other person; he didn't know him. However, when Seoho caught sight of the taller one, his face brightened and went towards the stranger, hugging him. Hwanwoong tilted his head in confusion.


He knew that Seoho isn't really that touchy when it comes to strangers, so this must be a friend. 'But Seoho doesn't act like that with friends? Even with me.' Hwanwoong pouted in thought. Just who was this tall stranger?


"Oh right!" Seoho suddenly exclaimed when he caught sight of the cute confused face Hwanwoong had.


"Remember I told you about my boyfriend?" At Hwanwoong's little nod, Seoho continued. "This is him. Hwanwoong, meet Geonhak. Geonhak this is Hwanwoong."


"Nice to meet you Hwanwoong."


"Nice to meet you too."


"What about him? Who is he?" Hwanwoong asked, pointing to Youngjo who was putting Hwanwoong's breakfast on the table. When the trio were busy, Youngjo heard a knock on the door, and went to see what the person wanted. It turns out that it was just one of the hospital staff incharge of bringing the food to the patients.


"He's Youngjo, uhm... he's"


"A friend. A close friend." Youngjo finished. Youngjo saw the look Seoho gave him but he just shook his head towards his direction. As much as he wants to tell Hwanwoong of their relationship, he knows that the other still couldn't remember and that fact will only hurt Youngjo more.


They left it at that, Seoho and Geonhak were talking with Hwanwoong as he ate his breakfast. The trio, laughing at whatever they said and Youngjo could only watch fondly as he tidied up the room. Hearing Hwanwoong laugh brought warmth in Youngjo's heart. It's been so long since he last heard Hwanwoong laugh and Youngjo definitely missed it.


Youngjjo remembered their university days, when they were once carefree, and Youngjo didn't have the burdens from his work. The two of them would sit on the bench on campus during their free time, laughing at the littlest things. And looking at the trio right now, the ghost of those memories came to haunt him.


On the bright side, Hwanwoong was finding reasons to be happy despite his situation. Youngjo was thankful for Seoho, that he was able to bring brightness in the room even if it's just for a moment.


The doctor came in around 9 am checking Hwanwoong's vitals and asking whether Hwanwoong was able to remember current memories or not. Youngjo talked to the doctor on the side, telling him that everything was okay, that Hwanwoong was still able to remember what he was doing but still can't recall his past memories.
