while she was November , he was December .

" I changed my mind.." , Yeonjun begins as the doctor withdraws the letter stating his discharge from the hospital. It was late in the afternoon , the warm sun hid among the clouds and his anger had cooled down. Namson was glad that he decided to extend his stay at the hospital but was eager to know what made him change his mind.

" I mean , i am all healed. That's a good thing , but she can't walk yet.." , Yeonjun explains in a monotone stating his decision as he observes her asleep on the bed next to him.

" what if..? what if she falls down the bed again?.." , he elaborates his concern.He folds his arms into a knot exhibiting his silent care beaded through every anxious word he denies in the name of friendship. Namson breaks into a smile as he lowers his head.

" I mean , what if she falls down while trying to walk again..? " , he nods his head justifying his statement. 

"So , I will stay here.." , concludes his anxious patient.

"but i can leave whenever i want" , he demands for the letter as he pats on it while turning towards the doctor , " I will leave as soon as she is discharged from the hospital..."

Yeonjun leans behind on the bed to rest his head on the bed after the settlement with the doctor. it was easier than he had thought. nevertheless he was glad that the doctor was understanding and patient with him. he regrets being so mean to him. he finds the doctor smiling even after he had finished talking to him. 

" don't get too excited. i wont be a patient here forever.."

Namson wasn't expecting him to be. He faces him with a tender smile , "alright you punk , don't you dare bother my other patient while you're here.."

" could you just freaking stay there for a moment please?? " , scowls the nurse as anxious Sohee pauses taking a step behind confused. Upon returning to her bed from the toilet she found a couple of nurse examine her bed and pull down the white bedsheets and the pillow covers , she moves a loud sanitizing vacuum on the mattress. 

It had been correctly three weeks since the blast , somehow convinced and weak on her legs Sohee leans on the nearest support from the bed on the other side.

"Listen girl. stay there , sleep on that bed for now , you got it right ?" , the hot headed nurse turns towards her lowering her mask to make her sound clear , " don't get scared , this (vacuum) won't suck you inside "

intimidated because of the tone of her deep voice , she tumbles behind to crash into the other bed in the room. the soft mattress welcomes her as she climbs on the bed considering that the snooty nurse might ask her to get her feet off the ground to vacuum the floor. she rests her head on the pillow waiting for the nurse to finish. her eyes fall close as she hears the loud sound of the vacuum sucking and soon falls asleep feeling tired. 

Yeonjun returns from the toilet after a light mouth wash. he had changed into a more comfortable robe that fit his torso right assuming it didn't slip down his shoulder , it was also more tighter around his waist as though he were wearing his own clothes. he felt a lot more calmer , composed as he walks towards his bed. a towel hangs on his shoulder. surprised because of the sound of the vacuum , he hurries towards his bed and the towel slips down his shoulder. he bends forward to pick up the towel , but as he lifts his head , he finds an arm fall across the bed prior . he walks towards the bed to rip the curtains across to reveal Sohee sleeping on it.

A faint smile appeared on his lips at the way she smiled in her sleep , her cheeks as big as a cinnamon roll dough each , her eyelids fell on her eyes softly , the way she took each cloud breathe , her chest heaved up and down , she was lost in the solace of a good dream.

Yeonjun covered his mouth shutting his eyes tight as he walked across the bed. He had forgotten for a moment that he was supposed to be mad at her for pranking her till now , but he wasn't , he wasn't planning on waking her up to nag at her to walk back to her own bed. instead , he liked it ,but he wasn't supposed to like it. he gets on the climbs on the bed carefully making sure it doesn't disturb her. he plops on the mattress in one corner with one arm under his head maintaining enough distance in between. 

" Is it fun?.." he begins with a faint smile , " playing with me like this..?. was it fun seeing me cry?..seeing all those tears that your hands were supposed to wipe on my cheeks? "

"You win. and I'm already broken.." , he observes her whimpering in her sleep. 

" You're so cruel , how can sleep with a smile on your face when i am terrified just to close my eyes? "

" am i ever in your dream like you are always in mine?..." , he closes his eyes for a moment sighing. 

" and if i ever am , do i make you smile like you are now..? " , he smiles resting his head on his arm.

" Tell me , do you feel warm like I do when you're on my side? " .
