sephy was a mess. her eyes were bloodshot and had huge bags developed under them. it looked as if she hadn't slept for months. she looked so fragile and lifeless and in that moment i felt a sudden urge to protect her.

hani rushed towards her and hugged her tightly, not letting go for a long time. i also smiled softly at her and she nodded back.

"are you okay?" i asked her gently, still concerned about her health.

"yeah the doctors said i'll be fine and the wounds will heal since i'm a healthy girl so no worries"

i still wasn't convinced but she gave me a thumbs up and a small smile.

hani grabbed the bag sephy was carrying and tossed it to me. i easily caught it and slung it over my shoulder. she then opened her own bag and took out the chocolates and flowers we had bought earlier and handed it to sephy.

"we couldn't come empty handed so we thought some chocolate would cheer you up"

she lifted the flowers to her nose and smiled as she inhaled. i couldn't help but notice how pure and innocent she looked.

"tae choose the chocolates and i picked the flowers. we have great taste right?" hani added as she started nudging sephy.

"yeah yeah, the best" she said giggling as she pushed hani away.

we made it to the exit of the hospital before sephy stopped in her tracks.

"hey what's wrong?" i asked her.

"huh? oh nothing. i just forgot to get my charger. i think i might've forgot it in my ward i'll go get it now-"

"no i'll go, it'll probably take you years to go and come back. what number was your room?" i volunteered.

sephy hesitated but when she knew i wasn't going to let her have her way she signed and reluctantly told me.

"i'll be back in 5 minutes, hani take care of sephy"

i sprinted up the long stairs and across the squeaky clean corridors until i found myself outside the room. i searched for the charger and found it lying under the bed. i quickly grabbed it ran out again. i didn't want to keep the girls waiting.

i noticed how the charger was decorated with stickers and cute drawings and laughed. only sephy would do something like this.

i was so fascinated with sephy's charger that i didn't even notice the person i was nearing and bumped into him.

we both fell and the other guy's medicine scattered all over the floor. i helped pick them up and i handed to him.

as i bowed apologetically i caught a glimpse of a familiar face that was hidden by the hood of his jacket. i began racking my mind trying to remember where i had seen him. i turned to ask him but he was long gone by then.

i shook my head and jogged the rest of the way. i was relieved to see the two still waiting for me at the exit.

sephy extended her pale hands as i handed the charger to her. in the process our hands slightly brushed off each other and i swear i had to force myself not to jump away.

her slight touch radiated so much heat.

her slight touch sent shivers down my entire body.

her slight touch made me feel a mixture of emotions.

sephy, why are you making me feel like this?
