I'M STILL HERE

Move Forward

LiCu has his head on SuWan's bed, the boy's hand on his cheek desperate to at least feel the warmth and pulse of his friend

    SuWan's condition was already managed, he'd be on blood thinners for the rest of his recovery and with Hua Ye and Hei-Ye by his side, LiCu has no doubt his friend will make a full recovery, yet the sight of him, coughing up handful and handfuls of blood will take time before it went off of LiCu's mind …

   LiCu didn't left SuWan's room until a week later when he got news that KanJian got discharged, he went to the man's room, where Liu Sang is helping him get ready to go …

    The man slumped on his bed , There's a sigh on his lips and his brows furrowed as he looks at his still bandaged hands

  "What's wrong?" Liu Sang asked noticing the drop in his heartbeat and the unusual silence

  "Before we go, let's visit Laoban and YaLi" he said

"Alright"

  LiCu followed them into WuXie's room, he had expected him to burst into tears the moment he saw WuXie or run for a hug like before but this time KanJian just gave a light smile as he sat on the chair PangZi lend him, beside WuXie

"I'll be going home today, but I'll try to visit. Do you , XiaoGe and Pang-Ye need something that I can bring?"

  There's a pause, it's a bit of a surprise at how KanJian seems to be walking on eggshells around them, WuXie shook his head lightly

"No, you should rest some more before you visit again … Liu Sang make sure he doesn't try to tire himself out"

"But Laoban…"

"Be Good Kid" PangZi said

"You be Good too" XiaoGe said turning to Liu Sang

"Of course Ouxiang, thankyou"

     Minutes Later they left the room and went to where LiCu is,

    LiCu didn't follow, staying at the corner of WuXie's room, letting the day go on,

Weeks passed by and he wandered listlessly in the hospital, he tried not to wander much by his room …

   Then Wang Meng got released alongside YangHao, they also went to the Iron Triangle's room before going to LiCu's

    SuWan got discharged shortly after and still… LiCu never took a step in the hall of his room

   Then WuXie and XiaoGe got discharged, and while WuXie insisted on spending a bit more time in LiCu's room, the other two and possibly Ershu had told him to not camp in his room and let himself rest more …
