1 Month later

Hana's wounds have healed nicely. She woke up 3 days after her surgery and was healthy. Just like Heeseung requested, Jungwon took care of himself. Hana would've wanted it. Sure he lost a few pounds but it wasn't drastic. Anything for Hana.

"I see that you've healed well." The nurse comes in and takes diagnostics every day. "The doctor says that you can be discharged next week. You won't have to lay in this boring hospital anymore, yay!" The nurse smiles at Hana and Hana smiles back faintly. Ever since Hana woke up, she's behaved differently. Like she wasn't Hana. Jungwon didn't take notice of this of course, he was too happy that she was awake and well. Or literally just, alive. Today was August 5th meaning that in a few months, it would be Halloween. Jungwon always hated Halloween but Hana has a love for it. Anything for Hana.

"Hey Hana, what if...we went to the carnival in October?" He suggests to her. He despises it. Clowns. Blood. Giant monsters. Even if they were pretend. He despised it. Anything for Hana.

"Sure!" She smiles back sunnily. Her smile was always so beautiful. Beautiful. Just like her. Her phone dings next to Jungwon so he grabs it.


Johnny:
WAKE UP!


Who's this Johnny? Johnny Suh? No, it couldn't be. He hands the phone to Hana.

He didn't mean to read the message. Just an accidental peek at the phone. Not his fault that his brain reads too fast. But he couldn't help to wonder, who is this Johnny? Was Hana cheating on him?

Hana looks at the phone weirdly and just tosses it aside. "Can you believe it Jungwon? Only one more week in this horrid, awful place and then we're free to go anywhere, free to do anything." She smiles dreamily. 

Her smile suddenly drops. "What would you have done..." She stops short and looks at Jungwon. "What?" "What would you have done...if I had died?" She gives him a skeptical look. "I..I don't know." His smile drops as well, the happiness fades thinking about death. "What would you have done if I had died?"

"You already asked..." He says and she smiles back eerily. "I know, I just wanted to know your answer." She gives him a stare and then looks out the window and her dreamy smile is back. Jungwon shakes off this weird feeling and goes back into his euphoric state, staring at Hana.
