[In the hospital]

"Hzz... it's been two weeks and Chaeyoung is still a sleeping beauty" says Baekhyun looking at Chaeyoung lying on the patient's bed... her wounds on the face are almost healed...

Oh yeah, the gang friends are gathering in Chaeyoung's hospital room!

And Chanyeol is sitting beside Chaeyoung's bed as always... The happy virus Chanyeol has become gloomy ever since Chaeyoung is unconscious... He has been trying to hide under his smile but his eyes cannot hide his sadness.

"By the way... Sehun-ssi!" says Junmyeon and Sehun turn his face to look at Junmyeon while he continues his words "you haven't explained to us how you had Sooyoung's exact location on the incident day." as Junmyeon finished his sentence, everyone turns to look at Sehun and seek for the answer

"Right! That was weird. We didn't get to ask the details because we were worried about Chaeng and Sooyoung's safety." Chanyeol adds

"Nae.. the thing... the thing is..." Sehun is stuttering and seems to panic... but there is one more person there who is clearing her throat too...

"We're dating!" Sooyoung murmurs... Everyone in the room widens their eyes

"YOU GUYS DID WHAT?" Everyone screams at the same time. Sehun grabs Sooyoung's hand and shows to everyone

"Correct! We've been dating for a while. And this little guy over here has a location tracking device." he points at the necklace that Sooyoung is wearing...

"Wah! That's creepy. Why did you give a location tracking necklace to your girlfriend?" Baekhyun shakes his head

"We would love to share where we are with each other. I wear one too so we can always know where I am when we miss each other." Sehun shows the necklace he is wearing to everyone.

"That's unexpected but why am I not even surprised?" says Joohyun while she teasingly looks at Sooyoung

[...]

Everyone is leaving the hospital, except Chanyeol. He is still sitting at the same spot and holding Chaeyoung. He looks at her with his sad eyes. He cannot express how much he wants her to wake up right now. He pulls her hand to his cheek.

"Chaeng-ah! You know what? Your uncle was arrested and his trial was held yesterday. He was sentenced to a lifetime in prison to pay for his sins... bribery, kidnapping, murder attempt, sexual assault,... he deserved to be dead on what he has done to you." he swallows his saliva before continuing "Everyone, even your parents were on your side. You know, even your old maids testified against him for you. You remember Auntie Sun, right?" he kisses her hands softly "Chaeyoung-ah! please wake up soon, chaebal! Everyone is waiting for you. Don't give up on us yet, arrasseo?" he is sobbing a little but quickly wipes his tears

"I miss you so much."

[In Junmyeon's car]

After visiting Chaeyoung, Junmyeon is driving Jisoo home. They both talk about this and that on the way. But, they seem to have some unsolved stories deep down. Jisoo barely looks at Junmyeon's eyes although they chat nonstop.

"Jisoo, can I ask you something?"

"When have I ever stopped you?" Jisoo teases him again and he smiles softly

"Did you really not remember anything from the day we went out to drink?"

"That night, just the two of us?" Junmyeon nods. He pulls over and parks his car on the side... He faces Jisoo and looks into her eyes... Jisoo is blushing but thanks to the fact that there is no street light there to really show her face...

"I hope it didn't cause any awkwardness between us... but... I... I really..." he takes a deep breath "I like you... not as a friend but as a man to a woman" he clicks his tongue "I don't know when or how it started... when I knew, I already fell too deep for you. I'm..." His speech was cut... It was cut but the soft lips of Jisoo landed on Junmyeon's lips... SHE KISSED HIM!!! She pulls back and smiles... Junmyeon was frozen by what just happened... she acted so fast that he wasn't prepared...

"I lied. Actually, I remembered everything from that night, but I was too shy to admit it." She clears her throat before continuing "I like you, Jun. For a long time. But I cannot reveal my true feelings to you because you are my friend and that might cause awkwardness in the group too. But, I don't care now, I need to have you." She covers her face as she finishes her sentences. Junmyeon chuckles at her actions... Jisoo removes her hands and glares at his laugh "Yah! What is so funny?"

"You're just so cute." Junmyeon pinches her cheek and smiles. "So, let me officially ask you this." he grabs her hands with both hands and looks into her eyes "Jisoo-ssi, will you be my girlfriend from today onwards?"

They both smile from ear to ear. SHE NODS!!! She is blushing. They lean toward each other for another kiss. The kiss is not a rush again but a soft one, a symbol that they start dating now... They pull back and smile at each other...

"Saranghae, Jisoo!"

"Nado Saranghae, Jun!"
