"So that's what happened huh?"

Yeonwoo put her finger under her chin, trying to process everything as Jake sitting beside her bed, calmly peeling the apple after he told her everything.

Yeonwoo turn her body to his direction and hold his arm. "What should we do now?" Her eyes full of worried, scared that something like that going to happen again to them.

Jake put down the apple and touch her hand that is holding his arm. "We wait for the justice to do its work."

Yeonwoo was not convinced with his answer since she felt bad that her husband did everything while she was unconscious. She felt like she didn't help much eventhough she told him that she will help with everything. "Are you sure we should just sitting here patiently and not taking any action now?"

"Yeonwoo..." Jake stands up from the chair that he's sitting on and sits on the bed. "For now, let's just enjoy the moment. You just woke up and I'm so happy that you did." 

He cupped her face as his other hand locking their hands together. "I missed you..." 

Yeonwoo saw his eyes glistening as she pressed her lips. "I'm sorry for making you worried." She look down, didn't dare to look at his eyes.

"No, I'm the one that should apologize as I didn't manage to save you." 

Hearing that, Yeonwoo immediately look up to his eyes and shakes her head repeatedly. "It's not your fault, plus the accident already happened so-"

"You're right, it's already happened so let's just appreciate our moment now." Yeonwoo stares at his eyes for a few seconds before she noticed that Jake's face is getting closer and closer to her.

Realizing what he's about to do, she closed her eyes and let his lips claimed hers. The kiss is soft and tender but it's the feeling that both of them missed the most.
