Amidst the joyous anticipation of a surprise, an unexpected revelation cast a dark shadow over Kai's world. The news of his impending military service hit him like a tidal wave, leaving him in a state of devastation and uncertainty.

Kai: (whispering to himself) "How do I face Nora? How can I tell her I'll be gone for so long?"

Kai's apartment was filled with a heavy silence, shattered by the hushed whispers of EXO members.

Suho: (anxiously) "We can't keep this from Nora. She deserves to know."

Baekhyun: (nodding) "He's right. Kai, you can't hide this from her."

As the EXO members debated whether to disclose Kai's military service to Nora, fate intervened. Nora, blissfully unaware, entered the room to witness an intense argument.

Nora: (confused) "What's going on? Why are you all arguing?"

Caught off guard, the members exchanged nervous glances.

Chanyeol: (stammering) "Nora, we... There's something you need to know."

As Suho began explaining, the color drained from Nora's face. The words hung in the air, heavy with the weight of the impending separation.

Suho: "Kai...he's enlisted. Military service."

The room fell silent as Nora's hands trembled, the surprise cake slipping from her grasp. The impact echoed through the room, both metaphorically and literally, as the cake crashed to the floor.

Nora: (whispering) "No... This can't be real."

Kai: (regretful) "I didn't want to burden you, Nora, but I thought you should know."

Overwhelmed, Nora's vision blurred, and the world around her started spinning. The members rushed to her side, but before anyone could react, she collapsed.

Kai: (frantic) "Nora, wake up! Please, wake up!"

As the ambulance rushed Nora to the hospital, Kai, torn between the duty to his country and the woman he loved, faced an unimaginable choice. The unexpected turn of events left them both grappling with shattered dreams and uncertain futures

Kai, torn between duty and love, faced the aftermath of Nora's sudden coma. As the doctor delivered the grim news, Kai felt his world crumble.

Doctor: (gentle) "I'm sorry, Mr. Kai . Nora is in a coma, and we cannot predict when she'll wake up."

Kai:(broken) "What am I supposed to do?"

Devastated, Kai turned to his sister and Minji, urging them to watch over Nora during his absence.

Kai:(pleading) "Please take care of her. I can't bear the thought of losing her."

As Kai embarked on his military service, Nora lay in a dreamless sleep. Unbeknownst to her, Kai's thoughts were consumed by her every waking moment. The separation weighed heavily on his heart, and the military routine offered no solace.

Four long months later, hope flickered to life as Nora stirred. Minji and Kai's sister shared tears of joy, knowing their prayers were answered. However, when Kai, hopeful but anxious, appeared on a video call, Nora, affected by the shock, failed to recognize him.

Kai:(voice trembling) "Nora, it's me. It's Kai."

Heartbroken, Kai held back tears, seeing the woman he loved oblivious to his presence. Minji and Kai's sister tried to comfort him, witnessing the emotional toll it took on him.

Minji: (softly) "She woke up, Kai. That's a miracle in itself.

During one of Kai's private video calls with his sister, he discovered the surprising secret Nora had confided in DO before his departure.

DO: (smiling) "Nora told me a secret. She wants to marry you, Kai."

As Kai processed this unexpected glimmer of hope, he clung to the promise of a future with Nora, even if the path ahead remained uncertain.
