Every seconds that passed through seems decades for Zee, he can't keep his eyes off from Saint. He did sip a beer earlier but it vanished through air. He's sobber enough that sleep seems to forget knocking him. He heard what the doctor said, that Saint might gain consciousness in days but he wish at least Saint would even lift his finger, but he wouldn't. He's really scared that things might overturn, that the hope they have might be just all wishful thinking. He's scared that Saint couldn't take and finally let go. Poppy, Tommy, Jimmy and Park had fallen asleep on the couch, but Zee's the only one who could not sleep at all. He wanted to watch over Saint, no resting as long as he's sure that Saint would open up his eyes. A knock was heard, and soon as the door opened up, a nurse entered.

"Good evening, I'll just check on the patient..", the nurse told Zee, and Zee nodded. He then gave space for the her. He made sure to look every step that the nurse did, the nurse noticed it and smiled. "Are you his boyfriend?",

"Yes, how is he?",

"He's fine, he's status is normal.", The middle aged nurse looked at Saint. "... don't worry, we'll do our best to look after your boyfriend.", Zee smiled.

"Thank you, please..please do everything to save him..",

"We will, trust us. You seem to really love this young man here..", she added.

"Yeah, he's everything to me.", Zee sadly smiled on the nurse.

"Is your name Zee?", she asked.

"Yeah..",

"He called out for you earlier, before he completely lost his awareness. I know doctor told you, he flattened in the middle, but he really did well  holding on. He lost a lot of blood, injuries but he still made it. You see he might've hold on to you also right, seeing that he actually had you as his guardian..",

"Are you the one who called me earlier?",

"Yeah," the nurse took out Saint's ID from her pocket. "Here his ID, I called the two numbers, since the one is yours, I heard the other was his grandma..",

"Thank you for informing us..",

"No, there's no need at all. I have too. Hold on there, youngman. Just like the was your lover holds on, on the other side.", Zee smiled. "Please excuse me, I'll come back after in 5hours",

"Khub..", Zee waied and and returned to his seat next to Saint. He then held Saint's right hand, kissed it and caressed the red traces of the so-called thing that was used to tie him. "Take your time, Saint. I'll wait for you no matter what, I'll wait for you.", Zee then kissed Saint's lips and smiled.

"Zee, honey..", Mrs. Panich opened the door and just like that, Zee teared up once again. She rushed to him and let Zee hugged him as tighter as he can. "Honey, you okay?", she said comfortinf Zee. She could feel how Zee trembled.

"I'm fine, mom..but Saint..", Zee couldn't help but cry. He doesn't care how swollen his eyes already, he just can't stop crying. Mrs. Panich couldn't d anything asde from comforting Zee. Her heart clenched when he saw Saint lying on the bed with swollen face, and casted arms. "... it's all my fault...I should have looked after Saint..I should have..",

"Honey, don't blame yourself, it's not your fault. It's all an accident, with what you said about Jennie, your dad's looking on it. If she's really at fault here, she wouldn't be spare. She'll pay on what she's done. Everything will be fine soon..",

"Mom, I can't live without Saint.. I can't", Zee continued.

"He's alive, honey. Don't think about that. Saint's needs you, you need to be strong, you need to be the person whom he can lean on", she added.
