THE MARRIAGE CONTRACT | SATZU

WAITING

Sana's POV

*Toot* *Toot* *Toot* *Toot*

Weeks had passed and Tzuyu is not waking up yet. The doctor said that he needed to transfer him to the ICU, so they did. I am here sitting on a chair just beside his bed, waiting and hoping for him to open his eyes or just move a part of his body to know if he'll be okay. Seeing him like this breaks my heart so bad, there's a lot of electrodes attached to him, from his face, to his chest, and even from his arms and legs.

I miss him... I miss him so bad. I miss how he checks on our baby Minju every night after getting home from work, I miss the every night's cuddles we had, and especially... I miss his existence. It's not that I don't feel him right now, but I want him awake.

Just a day after the accident, the news already spread throughout the country. The news were trying to find out who'll manage the company while Tzuyu's in the hospital. Tzuyu's father told me that the COO will be the one who's taking care of the company while Tzuyu's in here. And if you're going to ask who's the COO, well from what I've remembered, we have 2 COOs and the first one is Mr. Kim Jun Myeon. Mr. Kim is one of Tzuyu's cousin along with my friend Mina. However, I forgot who the other COO is. Since I haven't been working that long inside Tzuyu's company. Plus, Tzuyu told me to take a break for a while because of our baby.

I took out a heavy sigh when I remembered once again the reason why all of these things happens.

"Tzuyu-ah... Please wake up now. Your baby needs you, we need our daddy." I said while looking at his sleeping face. 

*Click*

My attention diverted to the door when I heard it open, revealing a friend of mine.

"Dahyun..." I mumbled as he smiled at me.

"I came here as soon as I heard the news about what happened to Tzuyu. How is he? What does the doctor said about his condition?" He as consecutively that made me smile weakly. Just remembering his condition hurts me.

*Sigh*

"He's in a coma and we still don't know when he'll wake up or if he'll even make it..." I answered trying to hold back my tears. I don't want to look miserable in front of him.

"Everything will be alright, Sana. Just think positive, okay?" He said trying to comfort me. I just smiled at him weakly and look at my fiancé again.

"I hope so..." I don't want to think any negative thoughts, but I cannot help it. Especially when he's like this.

I suddenly got startled when I felt Dahyun's hand on my shoulders. "I know you're hurt right now but let's just think positively." He said, so I nodded at him.

The doctor said that only 2-3 people are allowed here to stay inside the ICU with Tzuyu and I've been here for 2 days. I'm just glad that Minju is at my parent's house. I also already sent Minju's babysitter there at dad's house. Just glad that I've pump enough milk for Minju to drink. I'll just go home if she ran out of milk. Tzuyu's mom is here as well anyways.

Me and Dahyun stayed silent for a while, while watching Tzuyu doing nothing but breath.

"Uhm, Sana... I guess I need to go now. I still have work to do, and please don't hesitate to call me when you need me okay?" He sai so I smiled at mouthed him "Thank you."

After that he left me and Tzuyu alone in the ICU.

Dahyun's a good friend of mine. He's always there for me whenever I needed someone to talk to. Well, it's not that I cannot open up to Tzuyu, but I just don't want to disturb him. Especially when he's busy at work.

And there I found a friend who can listen to my rants and all.

------------------------------------

A year had passed and Tzuyu is still here inside the ICU. I just came here since I went home last night to get some good sleep and rest. Tzuyu's mother and father stayed here last night to check on Tzuyu.

My schedule on watching over him and our baby split in half. Yes, I still do come to the hospital often but I still do come home to take care of our baby more often. Especially Minju's growing up.

But I am not losing hope on him. I'll wait for him to wake up and staying with him is a promise I made in front of him. But... It just saddened me that Tzuyu wasn't able to see Minju's first crawl. I was at home that time to care for our baby and I can really tell that she's getting big. She's smiling and crawling fast. Whenever Minju smiles, I remember Tzuyu's face. Minju really look like her dad. I wonder how will Tzuyu react after knowing that his baby is now crawling. And also Minju's first laugh.

I thought I'd be able to see a father and daughter moments right now, but things just don't go as planned. Dahyun often visited me and play with my baby. Then he fetches me up when I need to go to the hospital.

Earlier, Tzuyu almost died but got revived by his doctor. Mom called and told me about that that's why I rushed here in the hospital again.

Mom and dad left me inside. They told me that they'll just go home for a while to pick up something. So I am here again alone with Tzuyu.

"Daddy, please be strong for me... For Minju. I-I... I don't want to lose you... I can't. M-minju's first birthday is coming... And I hope you'll be able to make it." I cried and held his hand. Minju's first birthday is coming, and I hope that Tzuyu will wake up soon so that he can attend his daughter's first birthday.

I haven't planned anything yet and it's so hard to plan something when your fiancé is like this. I am still also looking forward to the time where we're going to get married and make another child.

So please wake up now, Tzuyu. I really miss you.

I am staring at the window, watching the guests laugh and wait for the party to start.

"Sana, dear. Did you told dad to fetch the cake? The party is about to start." I look back when I heard mom called me. I nodded at her and told her that dad already picked up the cake and is heading home at the moment.

Today is Minju's first birthday, and we're here at Tzuyu's house to celebrate it.

But the thing is... Tzuyu's not here. Just as what I've thought, but it's not his fault anyways. I've been crying since earlier because he won't be able to attend his daughter's first birthday. A month ago, we hired a personal nurse to take care of him while we're away. It's not that the hospital don't give him the care that he needs, but we just need someone who'll stay there with him.

"Tzuyu won't like it when he sees you like that." Mom said as she caress my back. I sighed and smiled at her, trying to hide the pain I am feeling.

"The birthday girl is here! Look, Minju it's mommy." We both look at Dahyun who's carrying Minju while smiling widely at us. I smiled and walk to him to carry Minju. "Happy birthday our princess! Is our baby excited? Yes, our baby is excited!" I said while kissing Minju on her cheeks, making her laugh. "Our baby looks just like her father~" Minju keeps on laughing making us laugh as well.

"Okay, that's enough. Let's go outside and greet the guests." Mom said as I smiled at her and nod.

Let's just be happy for now... Just for Minju's birthday.
