serendipity

After those happy days, those greatful times. Something worse happened.

You believe that what comes next to happiness is sadness and right now you're in a critical condition. Where you could feel yourself giving up.

If you know after those happy days you make will be turned into a sad and worse one. You think you shouldn't had felt that happiness anymore.

If after that happy day means putting you in a silent pain.

Longer minutes of waiting for the psychiatrist. You grew impatient. Just why can't time move so fast.

Attempting to step your foot out of the bed, you were stopped when you heard a door open, seems like you don't need to leave the bed now.

Though even if the door didn't opened you wouldn't be able to do it too, not when you can't move your legs at all.

" Sorry, I bought foods while I'm on my way here " Chaewon bought some meals while she's on her way to the hospital that's why it took her lots of time even though she never intended to make you wait longer.

" Here " placing the food on the table she fetch the medicines that her parent's hospital pharmacist gave to her.

You simply smiled, you're glad she really came even today is supposed to be her day off.

" Pull it closer " You said talking about the small wooden table that she placed above your knee.

Too far for you to reach.

Even Chaewon didn't want to follow because of the reason she wanted you to help yourself to do it, she had no choice but to do so.

Carefully and slowly moving the table near for you to reach, she sighed. " You still can't stand and walk ? " she asked before grabbing a chair and sit beside you.

Reaching out for the food she served and placed on top of the small table. You glanced at her.

" I can but I can't walk normally. It hurts whenever I do and I feel like I can't walk anymore " You spoke before taking a spoonful of the pancake.

After 2 days of the day she took you out on a so called date.

You started feeling that your legs are getting numb and weak, to the point that you can't walk properly anymore.

At first you ignored it and didn't tell Chaewon about it even if she's responsible to know what's happening to you, and she only find it out the time where she saw you sitting on the floor after falling to attempt a walk.

Some doctor even come to Chaewon's hospital that day just because she called a close aunt of her to check you even if you don't want too.

And the reason they said for your legs to act like that. Is because it's been long since you last took your medications and now it's taking it's effect.

But none of them knows if it's a good or bad effect. It's hard to tell since even if it's good or bad they have the same effect to your body.

Chaewon doesn't know if she misheard that or what. So she didn't believe it at first. " Stop joking around " She scoffed before taking the fork your holding, towards her mouth to eat the peace of pancake.

You looked at her in shocked but decided to let her have it and just sliced another one. It's not that you can tell her to spit it out.

" It's not funny " She added.

You and Chaewon just went out of the mall 3 days ago. She's thinking how can you suddenly not be able to walk after.

Putting the new small piece of pancake in your mouth. " Im serious. " You gaze at her. " You should be happy now that you won't have to worry about me escaping and leaving the room while you're around or not "

And it seems like you sounded so real about saying you can't walk anymore but Chaewon still insist that you might be lying.

She refused to believe it and she didn't like what you just said to her.

" I'd rather have hard time watching over you than see you like this " she mean it.

And That somehow warmed your heart. " I finally unlocked Sweet Kim Chaewon " You joked trying to make her not to think about your condition for now.

But you know it's something that someone shouldn't forget about not when it's her first responsible at all.

Just everytime you would try to walk you would always lose your balance. Your muscles thightening and the numbness of your legs which makes it difficult for you to walk.

Chaewon rolled her eyes before handling you the medicines you need to take and ofcourse the gummies you needed in order to take it.

Chaewon continued giving you gummies just for you to be able to drink your medicines. She don't mind buying and wasting her money just for a gummies.

She really don't mind at all.

She could even bought you your own gummy store.

" Shut up " She opened the water bottle and hand it to you after you shoved the gummy and the medicine at the same time.

You grab it and let out a chuckle finding angry Chaewon, cute.

" Because If you didn't get well. Im really going to shove these medicines in your mouth down to your throat " You don't know if that's a warning or a Death threat.

You chuckled and gave her the bottle back for her to close it. " Don't worry. I'll take them now " and you will whether you like it or not.

" Btw you look cute when you're about to get mad. What a cute angry cub " You teased the cub.

Chaewon scoffed. " Stop calling me cub " She spoke before opening a bottled water that she didn't know it was the bottle where you drank.

" That's my bo- " You were about to stop her from drinking to the bottle you used, but you were too late when Chaewon already put the end of the bottle between her lips.

" What were you saying ? " She asked after drinking. She ignored what you're about to say earlier since she's really thirsty.

You shook your head. " that's my bottle " You smiled. " And that's yours " You pointed your finger on her other hand where she's holding a not yet opened bottle.

Damn. She only realized it now when she checked her both hands holding 1 bottle at each.

" You're cute " You mumbled before looking away to fix what's on top of the table.

Chaewon's reaction is not that big when she realized you were right but her reaction is good enough to make you smile and to say she's cute.

And Chaewon's mind is on a blank while her heart is back to beating faster again.

" Shit. That was an indirect kiss " She silently cursed in her head.
