WHEELCHAIR [니키] ᴇɴ⁃

  "Wheelchair girl. My wheelchair girl."

Jangmi blinked her eyes and gently cupped his face, "Stop playing around." Tears streamed down on her cheeks while she was still holding her sobbing.

"How did you know that? Do you remember me?"

Riki smiled and cleared his throat before speaking up again.

"Yujin told me. He was visiting me with his friends earlier."

He paused, "Is it Yujin or Yunjin? I don't remember well but he told me that we used to call you wheelchair girl."

He chuckled. "It's a rude nickname but cute at the same time."

Jangmi slowly let go of him and lowered her gaze.

fool her,

she thought he remembers who she was.

"Oh..."

Jangmi fixed the blanket on his body and brushed his hair after washing it with cold water to make him feel fresh since the weather was getting hot day by day. Riki was sleepy after playing too much before, so she took care of him until he fell asleep.

He looked at her with a tiny smile,
"Thank you, Jangmi."

Jangmi smiled back, "No need to thank me. You're special to me. So, I want to care about you."

"This is your medicine. Take this twice a day."

"I bought some cookies and bread. Just eat it anytime you want. Tell me if you want more of them. I will buy it." Jangmi placed the food on the small table next to his bed.

"Don't move too much, okay? Your body is still healing." Jangmi walked towards him after carrying her bag, got ready to leave.

She stroke his cheeks,
"Is there anything you want?"

Riki blinked his eyes, thinking of any answers.

Jangmi just chuckled,
"If you don't have any request, I will leave then."

"Take care. Get well soon, Riki."

"Will you visit me tomorrow?" Riki asked her curiously.

Jangmi slowly shook her head,
"My friend wants to meet me."

"Who?"

"Jaeni and Taewoo. Do you remember them?"

Riki just looked at her.

"You don't remember them."

"I will leave now."

She waved her hand but Riki grabbed it and held it tightly,
"Don't leave...." He mumbled.

"Riki, I will visit you the day after tomorrow."

He shook his head, "No. Don't leave..."

He pulled her closer causing her almost bump into him.
"Please stay with me longer."

"Riki..."
