<Busan City Hospital>

"He took everything in the worst way possible." Jihyo felt guilty for not being able to help them, "At this moment, his will to go through it is the most important. You can call me if you need anything, please take care." She left as well.

Seungcheol grabbed his hair tightly.

Woozi held his shoulder, "Hyung! Go in. Who knows? Your presence might provide strength to him."

"Yes, hyung, go in and stay strong!" Dino encouraged him.

Without wasting any second, Seungcheol immediately went into the room.

He couldn't control himself as tears began streaming down his face once again while watching Jeonghan laying on the hospital bed. He slowly walked towards him and leaned down to press a kiss on his forehead.

"How much do I have to wait for you, love?" Seungcheol wiped his tears as he sat on a stool beside him while holding his hand.

No more lazy mornings with you lyin' next to me
No more late night talkin' before we lay our heads to sleep
No more lookin' in the mirror with you steppin' on my feet
Without your arms around my shoulders

"On our first date, didn't I tell you that there's someone whose breaths are solely based on your existence? If you'll not look at me with that beautiful gaze then what am I supposed to do?

It's you who brings life to me, Jeonghan. For six years, I had been surviving like a living corpse. I always smiled so that they won't cry. I was acting strong so that they won't fall apart.

You gave me hope again. You- you don't need to recall anything. If you want, you can forget me, my love, everything again. Just wake up, please be fine.

Don't love me, don't care about me, don't even recognise me, I don't want anything. I just want you all fine, that's it. Is it too much to ask, Jeonghan? I promise I'll come back to your life as a stranger once again and we'll start fresh.

I don't know what I will do to myself if you don't wake up. I can't bear to lose you again. Please Jeonghan, I beg you. Take my life away, just wake up, show me your smile once again. Show me my home for once, please!

Just imagine, how soulful it would be? We'll steal hesitant glances of each other once again. We'll feel shy to talk to each other once again. We'll fall in love once again. Just wake up, Jeonghan, I swear I won't let you go anywhere.

Don't blame yourself for anything, it wasn't your fault. Do you even know how important and precious your life is? It's so easy for you to say that you deserve no one, blah blah, isn't it? Don't tell me you actually mean it. Don't tell me that I failed to make you believe that you mean the world to me."

I've lost the strength to be
Come and set me free
Will you stay with me tonight?
And pretend it's all alright?

Tell me that you love me
The way you used to love me

Seungcheol wiped off his tears, "For the first time, I'm upset with you, Jeonghan. I want to scold you so much. How can you demean your worth in my life? Why do you think I kept you in my heart for those six years? I trusted our love even in your absence then why are you not trusting it in my presence?

When I finally got to hold your hand once again, you started blaming yourself and drifted away? Why? Please, Jeonghan, I'm requesting you, do me this one last favour. Wake up, please? I love you so much. When will I get to hear it from you?

Just three words. When will I be fortunate enough to listen to it in your voice? When will my heart get to believe that I never failed you? When?"

Will you whisper in my ear
Those three words I want to hear?
Tell me that you love me
The way you used to love me
