Please, Don't Leave Me. (Wooin Yoo)

Episode 7 - Wake Up

Note: Again, this part would have a lot of time skips 🥲 (sorry for the late updates) I hope you enjoy reading!

I visited her every single day. My friends and I would often visit her at the hospital whenever we're free, but if they're busy, I go by myself. I wish she would wake up any time now, I want to tell her the stories about our adventures, and many more shenanigans that happened while we're gone.

«Timeskip»
It's been three months already, she's still not waking up. I miss her voice, I miss her laugh, her smile, her stories that she would tell me.

I've been doing great at school, some people doesn't bully me anymore. I've got my friends, our friends to defend me. I didn't pay attention to those who would bad mouth me, I was finally gaining confidence little by little. I was a little more talkative compared from before.

But the things between me and my father? Nothing, it's still the same as before. Not a single thing changed.

Today is Saturday, I've got more time to do things I want to do, like ride my bike or spend time with my friends, and especially visiting Mitch. I didn't care what my father would say about me, I didn't care what kind of shits my dad would say. All I care is about visiting Mitch. Each day, I can't help it but to miss her.

«Saturday, 3:52 PM, at the hospital»
I was walking down the hallway to go to her room once again. Her mother was right there once I opened the room, I was expecting that no one else was inside the room since there was no one else but Mitch inside whenever I visited. Of course, I greeted her mother to show some respect.

“Ah, Wooin... Still visiting her every day? How nice of you... Thanks because you never left her side even if her situation is like this.” Her mom smiled at me and gestured to come closer to her.

“Could you please keep an eye on Mitch while I'm gone? I will be back after a few minutes or an hour. I received a text from work...”

“Yes, sure.” I smiled and nodded.

Her mother stood up and left the room. It's just me and Mitch left inside.

“언제쯤 당신의 목소리를 다시 들을 수 있을까요? 빨리 일어나주세요.”
“When will I hear your voice again? Please wake up quickly.”
I sighed. I was getting a little bit sleepy so I laid my head down on the bed. I touched her finger, her hand is soft and warm... It feels nice.

“손이 참 좋고 따뜻해요... 손을 잡아도 될까요?”
“Your hands are so nice and warm... Can I hold your hand?”
Of course she wouldn't respond so I kept on holding her hand... It warms up my cold hand.

“I might take a nap for a while...” My eyelids are getting heavy, it would be fine to take a nap for a few minutes, right?

I was slowly drifting away to sleep... Slowly falling asleep... While my hand is still holding her hand. It's nice.

I think it's been a few minutes... But something is bothering me. Something keeps moving somewhere in my hand, maybe I'm just dreaming... I'll take a nap for a few more minutes...

«4:39 PM»
I feel something on my head... I'm still half asleep so maybe I'm dreaming. I'll take a nap for another minute...
