You know those overly cliche stories where the damsel in distress needs to be saved by her one and only prince. You think it's so nice and amazing, and you wished that you were that very princess. Well guess what? I was the so-called princess, but this wasn't an ordinary fairy tale for me.

Hi, my name is Kyuri, and I was hit by a car only to be carried to the hospital. After about a week in the this white deathtrap of a room, I was told that my future was uncertain. I could leave the hospital alive and healthy, or I could stay in the hospital, and if my health worsened, die. I remembered the looks on my parents' faces. It was an emotional day for them. They wouldn't get to see their daughter on a daily basis anymore. After the huge crying fest, I remember telling my parents, "Mom, Dad, I know that we're all in a bad situation right now. If I don't get out of this hospital any time soon, just know that this is God's plan to bring me to a safe place. One day, we'll be together again." My mother just bursted into tears after that little lecture. The days went on, and my health fluctuated as time went by. My health would take one step to recovering, but had the potential take seven steps back.

"Hey Mark? There's something I need to tell you." I laid the phone on my cheek. I would patiently wait for him to reply to me. We were both tired. I was always tired, while Mark pulled multiple all nighters to study for his upcoming exams. There were many times we would talk on the phone, but knowing that his stress was being more applied towards his exams, I didn't bother to tell him about my condition.

"Yea, tell me anything that you would like," he replied to me on the other end of the phone.

"I'm not on a business trip. I'm in the hospital right now." I spoke softly, letting the phone rest on my cheek and shoulder. I was partially out of breath, one because I was always out of breath due to my condition, but also because I was afraid of his reaction.

"What? Haha. You're being so funny," Mark chuckled on the other side. "Mark, I'm not joking around this time."

"Wait, what? Why didn't you say anything about it until now?"

"Didn't want you to worry?" I spoke, "Okay okay I'm sorry."

I was more than sure he was annoyed with me for hiding something like this away from him. He let out an exasperated sigh and grunt, "Where are you right now?"

I sat there playing with my thumbs, bored, not sure what else to do. My heart fluttered when he said he was coming for me. I mean, who wouldn't? Your crush was going through the cold streets at an ungodly hour just to come see you.

Someone bolted through the door, it was him. Just the one I wanted to see, Mark. He searched for me. Finding me in the dead center of his sight, he ran up to me in lightning speed and brushed me up with a huge bear hug. I lit up like a light bulb inside as I thought of the feeling of having him hold me like that. I let him go to see his eyes turn from relief to worry.

"Why didn't you tell me?" he asked. I sighed shrugged.

"I didn't want you to worry about me. I knew how you would react to the news, so I held back."

"Who knows besides me?" he asked, holding my hand, not letting go.

"My parents and now you, why do you ask?"

"Jae doesn't know?" he spoke. I shook my head, "We broke up. I'm pretty sure he doesn't even need to know."

The day of the accident was the same the day that we broke up. He was actually complaining about Mark being my best friend. I'm pretty sure I spend an equal amount of time with the both of them. Besides, I have the right to hang out with anyone I want. Jae doesn't need to get involved between me and Mark. He's my best friend for God's sake! That's when the fight broke out. There was a lot of yelling from Jae and lots of pleas of trying to get him to calm down for me. Eventually, it turned into a yelling fest between the two of us. He demanded that we break up, so of course I went off. I wasn't the type to cry about some stupid boy that can't keep his head straight. I was making my way on motorcycle to the convenient store when on the driver other side of the road ran a red light, and everything went black.

It's been two weeks since the accident and the break up. Slowly, I moved on, and I'm happier than ever. That's also the same time that I started looking at Mark differently. I was extremely concerned about myself, but I questioned myself over and over again to see if I liked Mark or not. Repeatedly, I told myself that I couldn't, but there's something holding me back. When Mark came bursting through that door, I knew I was in love with him. Jae was only there to blind me temporarily; all he did was get in the way of Mark. It made me smile to see him there in front of me.

"Hey, Mark?" I looked over to him. He looked up from his phone up to me, "Yea?" I always had the habit of playing with my thumbs when I got shy.

"I think- Look, I know that we're best friends, and in the some type of way you may not feel the same, but I just wanted to let it out. I mean you're my best friend and everything, but maybe, just maybe- I mean, isn't there going to be a day-" I was caught off guard by his laugh. He was laughing... at me.

I glared at him, feeling my temper rise, "What Mark?" He didn't answer me immediately. He bursted into a laughing fit. He took a few deep breaths before speaking, "Oh my gosh, Kyuri. You sound so freaking dramatic that I just couldn't help myself." He let out a hearty chuckle.

"What the freak Mark. I'm here being a nervous wreck, and I haven't showered in who knows how long, and I haven't seen myself in the mirror, not that I would like to see myself right now. But I know I finally found the courage to say that I like you-" I quickly covered my big mouth with my hands.

What are you, Kyuri? Stupid? I swear, you're such an idiot.

Mark chuckled, "I've been waiting for three years for you to say those words." I smiled as he got over and walked over to me. His hands found my hand, lifting it up and kissing it.

"I like you too, Kyuri. Jae would've ran out of the hospital screaming if he saw you like this, but I think you still look breathtaking." I punched his arm and glared playfully at him even though I knew I wasn't in my best state at the moment. He laughed, "I thought girls liked it when guys compliment them."
