1st POV: Sehun's
Even after Kai left, Mayuko never stopped crying. She was an endless Nile river and nothing I did, could stop her. Her eyes became swollen over the time that I had gone away and then came back to the hospital. She was hurt, quite badly. I hated it. I was the worse.
Not even the mid wife's or nurses could soothe her damaged heart. I just hoped that she would get over it, but this wasn't something you could 'get over it'. Mayuko was like an insane hurricane, almost a mental patient, when it was night time, when it was time to take her home. Even through all work, I couldn't focus. Even the new memo I was working on was incomplete on my desk. I was becoming now a disappointment.
She was angry, confused, and still at the same time, sad. When I had entered her hospital room, she had turned her head, looking at me with her arms wrapped around her legs, and the whites of her eyes were red along with the puffiness under her eyes. She looked more pitiful than she looked when she was in a coma or even a vegetative state. Was it even possible to say which one was worse?
For a moment she was just sniffling and I suppose she was unable to cry due to her eyes. I came closer to the bed, but she became alert and gripped the bed. "S-Stop!"
Her voice was filled with thrilling fear and it shot a hole straight through my ear all the way to my heart. Eventually it began to bleed as she shook her head and tightened her eyes, to not see me. She hugged herself and cried out her mouth, while rocking on the bed in complete misery.
My mouth became dry and my throat felt as it was being strangled. I couldn't' obey her will. I just couldn't stop.
In an instance, I rushed next to her on the bed and wrapped my arms around her, pulling her head into my chest. One hand was lightly on the back of her head and the other on her thin back. She cried out loudly and brought her hands to my chest, to push me away, but I wouldn't let her.
"I'll never abandon you...again...never...I promise you."
These words I shared wither her was whispered with my up most sincerity. It was a promise to her and to me. I would never leave her side again.
She eventually gave into my embrace and pressed her warm head into my chest, letting out the tears.
The tears she truly wanted to conceive all these horrid months.
I hope she didn't blame herself, because it wasn't her fault. If anything, everything she went through was because of me.
Because of my ignorance from day one.
It affected her.
I'm sorry Mayuko. I'll make it up to you, I promise.
It was a while till she calmed down and she had patted on my damp chest, which resulted in the retreat of my hands from her body. But instead of a full retreat, I brought my hands to the side of her arms, looking in her eyes with mines, but she was diverting them away to the bed with her head hung low.
