Third Person's Point Of View

It's been 4 months since that day. The season changes from spring to summer. Thus, she doesn't give any sign of waking up yet. Mingyu and Seungcheol stay beside her all the time meanwhile Wonwoo needs to attend his family trip overseas. Everyday, either Mingyu or Seungcheol or both will drop by to visit her because she would be awake at anytime and maybe need their help. This time Seungcheol planned to pay her a visit while bring along some foods with him.

"Good afternoon, princess. I wonder how are you doing in your deep sleep and in those beautiful dreams of yours. 4 months passed by like a winter wind ya know? I couldn't even remember what happened in those freaking months. You're not here either to remind me of it..." he said and ended with a sulky tone in his voice.

Time passes like the winter wind. And like the wind, fades away into the darkness of the past. It can never be recaptured, never returned. Every moment comes but once, lingers a while, and is gone. Seungcheol reminisce those quotes he once read it in his childhood stage. He sits beside her in a peaceful silence, not wanting to disturb her sleep. He observes her very carefully while mumbling softly, "You're not gonna leave me, right?"

The sudden tug on his hand made him jolted in his seat. His eyes widen for a second and he immediately press on the button beside the patient's bed. The doctor and nurses rush inside Erin's room and do a check-up on her condition. He wait outside to give some spaces for the doctor inside.

"Excuse me, are you perhaps Yoon Erin's relative?" the doctor asked as soon as she stepped out from Erin's room.

Seungcheol hesitates to talk about her relatives since she doesn't have anyone except for her younger sister. "Her family is long gone... but I'm her friend! So, you can tell me instead about her condition," he insisted.

"So far, her health condition is getting better. Her long term sleep regain back her energy that she loss for the past months she suffered from that high fever. It's a good thing and make sure she change the way she's taking care of herself. I'll leave the rest for you to look after her," the doctor advised.

He bows politely towards the doctor and steps inside Erin's room- caught her staring at his direction. He strides across the room to reach her side and take his seat slowly beside her. "Do you need anything? I can help you with it," he asked, kinda hesitate a bit. "For how long I'm out?" she asked back with her hoarse voice before coughing a little to gain back her normal voice. Seungcheol excuses himself to bring her a glass of water since she didn't consume anything using her mouth for past 4 months. He also help to put her in a comfortable position so that she could drink the water before continuing her questions session.

"You were out for 4 months, princess."

And with that particular answer, it succeed to make her spit out the water she consumed just now. Seungcheol thought she acted like that because surprise with the answer he gave- 4 months is not that short period of time either. Meanwhile, in her perspective, she got surprised with the sudden name that he made for her- Princess? Like what the hell?

Erin glares at his direction while patting her chest aggresively. Seungcheol cluelessly pat her back in concern, "I'm sorry, wrong timing I guess." He let out a chuckle, showing his deep dimple on his left cheek. "What's with the name, dude?? Are you losing your brain cells after missing me too much?" Erin thrust out her lower lips- judging his sudden behaviour. He ignores her remark by opening the food container that he brought for her.

"Eat first, then you can babble anything that you want," he said while put a spoonful of oatmeal in front of her. "Pfft- seriously, Cheol? Oatmeal?" She complained while chuckles lightly but still eat it anyway.

"Where's Gyu and Wonu?" Erin asked, taking more spoonfuls of the meal. "Wonu is helping his parents' bussiness overseas. Meanwhile, Gyu and I-" his words stopped in the middle of the sentences. "Coups hyung! Can we change-" Mingyu barged in the room, saying not understandable words but stop halfway after seeing the miracle in front of his own eyes.

"E-Erin?" He rubbed his eyes again and again. After confirming that his eyes not lying to him, he runs up to her and pull Erin into a tight hug. Mingyu cries on her shoulder while hugging her tightly as if there's no tomorrow. Erin pats his back softly, comforting her childhood bestfriend like she usually did before.
