'You'll need to be careful. Kate is in a coma at the moment and we aren't sure when she'll wake up so if she does wake up, please call me back.' Doctor Baekhyun states, standing next to me.

Naeyeon takes two steps towards Kate's limp body and she can't control her tears. She hears Doctor Baekhyun faintly call out something like: "I'll give you two a moment." then, he left them alone. Naeyeon slowly walked towards Kate's bedside and before she knew it, Naeyeon was on her knees beside Kate, crying rivers.

'I hope that you can hear me because, if not, I might as well be talking to a brick wall. Even if you can't hear me, it will feel a little better to say this out loud.' Naeyeon takes a deep breath and wipes a tear from her eye as she starts.

'Kate, you mean the world to me. I can't imagine what my life would have become without you and I can't remember a time that you weren't beside me. You are the most important person to me and without you, I am just a shell, an empty husk of a person. I need you to pull through this for me and stay as my rock. Please hold on and don't give up because I need you so much. Remember when we were cooking and I was so close to cutting my fingertips off? And remember when KyungIl broke up with me? You were my voice of reason and pretty much the only reason why I haven't accidentally gotten myself killed yet. If you die, I die.' Naeyeon took Kate's hand held it close to her heart. Moving Kate's hair from her face, Naeyeon sees Kate's face contort in pain.

'Please don't make that face. Your pain hurts me too. The only thing that hurts more than seeing you like this is knowing that if you don't wake up, I might run out of money to keep you on life support. Then, I'll be the one killing you.' Naeyeon's face turns into a waterfall as her tears slip from her eyes, creating a small puddle on the floor and soaking into the sheets on Kate's bed. 'I'm going to go to my audition today, even though I don't want to leave you. Wish me luck and pray for me just like I'll pray for you. Becoming an Idol isn't just for my own satisfaction now. Now, it's about working hard for you. It's about keeping you with me until the very end and I don't want "the very end" to come so soon.' 

Naeyeon looks down at the alarm clock on the nightstand and notices the time. 'I have to go now to get ready. Pray for me. I'll be back afterwards, I promise. I love you.' Naeyeon puts Kate's hand down gently by her side, leans over and kisses Kate's forehead.

She drags her feet out of the room and walks home with tears still evident in her eyes and a red face from crying. Naeyeon slips her key into the lock in the door handle and sluggishly drags herself upstairs and into the shower.

Meanwhile, Doctor Baekhyun walks into Kate's room and finds small puddles on the floor and he calls a nurse in to clean it. As he looks at the poor girl with grief in his heart, he notices something glistening on Kate's cheek. Kate had a tear and tear trail (that was hardly visible but, evident) on her left cheek. She had heard everything Naeyeon said to her.
