Y/N POV

I was crying on my bed. My door suddenly opens and I feel my mattress dip in. "It's alright to cry." Hendery rubs my back. I slowly turn around. "Will I ever be normal again?" I ask. "Baby you are normal." He tells me. "Don't lie to me. We both know I forget things after 5 seconds." I say. "Y/n you don't." He shook his head. "Yes I do. Okay maybe not technically 5 seconds but I do forget recent happenings really quickly." I say. "It's not your own fault, don't cry for that."

"I'm not crying for that. I'm crying because I know one day I'll forget about you." I say crying more. "Hey hey no, don't say that, you won't ever forget about me, I won't leave you and as long as I don't leave you can see me all the time and remember me." He says cupping my face in his hands. "You won't ever forget me, just so you know." He tells me, placing a kiss on top of my head. "Y/n here are your meds, please take them." The nurse walks in. I look at where Hendery sat but he was gone.

"Y/n? Are you okay?" She asks me. "Did you cry?" She asks. "I'm alright." I say. "Okay here take your meds." She hand the two pills and a cup of water. I take the pills and shove them under my tongue as I drink the water. "Did you take them?" I nod in response. "Okay great. Now it's almost night time so you know, lights out." She says. "Yes, goodnight." I say. She left my room and I take the pills out of my mouth. I wrap them in some tissues and throw them in the trash can.

"This way I won't ever forget about you." I smile at Hendery. "Great." He smiles. "I love you." He tells me as he comes closer. "I love you too." We share a kiss. "Now let me get ready for night time." I say. "Yes of course." He walks out the room to give me some privacy. I changed into my pj's and brushed my teeth at the small sink in the corner of the room. I get into bed and Hendery walks back in. "Goodnight princess." He kissed the top of my head. "You're not staying?"

I wake up and look around me, no Hendery. "No, no, no, I can't forget about him." I close my eyes and open them hoping to see him. "Hendery come back please, work time is over. I need you, I feel alone, please." I tried to remember his voice, but nothing. I did everything to make my memories of him bring him back. He's not just fantasy like everyone tries to tell me. I don't get it, why did I forget about him if I didn't take the meds? "There's a new one!" I hear someone on the hallway yell.

New one? It's been so long. I slowly open my room door to take a sneak. I see the doctors pass and then a boy on the bed. He looks familiar. "Hendery." I whispered. They brought him to the isolation room. "No you can't take him there! Hendery!" I run out of my room, which was for most people a wonder. I locked myself up most of the times, because it's safe alone on my room with Hendery. But all of a sudden he's there on the bed. "Now you see him too huh? I told you I wasn't going crazy, Hendery is real!"

His eyes were lifeless, there was no sparkle and he didn't look at me like I was the only one in the world. "Hendery!" I shake him a little but he didn't respond. The nurse brought me back to my room. "Y/n that boy has some real big issues, you can't just run to him like that. He needs to heal." She explains. "But that's Hendery!" I say. "No that's not his name. That's Wong Kunhang, his name isn't Hendery. Hendery is not real. It's in your head." She explains. "No that's really Hendery, he even wore the same clothes last night when he left to work."

"Lunch, y/n are you coming out of your room?" The nurse asks. "No." I shook my head. "Okay then here's your food." She brought me the tray with food. I start eating as I stared at the white plain wall. A sudden knock interrupted. I look at the doorway and see Hendery there with his food. He waits until I said something. "You can come in." I say. He walks in and sits on the chair next to me. We ate our food in silence. "He's real." I mumbled to myself.

He looks at me for a second then back at his food. "My friends call me Hendery." He breaks the silence. "I do too! You're real! No one ever believed me, but you promised I'd never forget you. And one morning I almost forgot about you but then suddenly you were on the bed. How did you get there?" I ask. "How did you know my name when we never met before?" He suddenly asks. "I know you, you know me." I say. "Do we?" He asks. "Yes." I say. "I'm sorry, I tend to forget things easily."

"I do too! That's why I once cried thinking I'd forget about you. And that's when you made the promise I'd never forget about you." I smile. "I got crazy because I forget things a lot, I couldn't handle it any longer and then they pulled me out of the lake before I drowned and now I'm here." He explains. "See you didn't forget that." I say. "Because the psychiatrist reminds me every time he talks to me. I hate that man!" He hits the table. "Sorry. Who are you again?" He asks. "Y/n." I tell him.

"I heard that name before. Everyone told me I was talking to air but I remember talking to someone." He says. "You're just like me." I smile. "Are we... dating?" He asks. "Are we?" I ask. "I don't know you just call me princess all the time and give me forehead kisses. That was until you ended up on the bed. Things changed. As if it became 10 times more realistic." I say. "I'm sorry I didn't do that anymore. I can do it again if you want." He says. "People are not allowed to date here in the hospital. Unless they're from outside. But then they can only visit." I explain. "Then let's keep it our secret. They don't need to know. But you gotta keep reminding me." He tells me. "Only if you remind me." We hold interlock our hands.
