"This is where it ends." I ran my finger down her chin.

"I'd rather you end it, than force me to help you."

I sighed and watched her close her eyes tight , "I'm ready." She said with her voice shaking.

"Yes... I have an emergency patient , please get here quick."

She opened her eyes once she heard me say that.

"What-"

"Stay put." I made sure her body rested in a safe position on the ground, hoping the knife wouldn't move.

"Ya- Kim Namjoon!" She yelled as I stood up.

"You'll be okay." I then walked off, hearing the sound of sirens get closer.

"Why didn't I just kill her then? Why did I choose to save her?" I looked back to see Eunhee getting put into the van.

I sighed once more and walked away to nowhere.

EUNHEE'S POV

"But... We still don't know, who's your guardian?" One doctor asked.

"Yes. Now that you've almost completely recovered from surgery, you'll need to be taken home soon." Another said.

"I'm her guardian." Ho Seok walked in.

"Is he?" The first doctor asked me.

"Yes." I nodded.

"Ho Seok walked up beside my bed, "It was tough... All those weeks without you... Not knowing where you were , if you were safe. Now look." He began to cry.

"I'm okay now, Ho Seok." I whispered.

"Okay, Eunhee will be ready to go home on Wednesday... Which is actually tomorrow." A doctor said as he looked at the date.

"Okay, thank you. Could we please have some time alone for a little bit?" Ho Seok asked, and both the doctors walked out.

I sat up slowly.

"You're okay?" Ho Seok asked with wide eyes.

"Of course." I whispered. "I'm strong." I giggled.

He hugged me softly, but lovingly.

"You don't have to worry about me, Ho Seok." I spoke into his ear as I gripped him tighter. "Don't worry about me, please."

"I have to worry. I love you..."

"Ho Seok... It breaks my heart. The fact that... I don't feel the same way you do. It hurts to know that I have to hurt you constantly if I stay. Which is why I left in the first place." Tears formed in my eyes, as tears fell from his.

He let his head fall, looking down as he spoke, "I know... But we both don't have anyone else in our lives that we can turn to."

"You'll find someone... I promise." I smiled as I lifted his chin up.

"You..."

"I'll find someone. I promise you, Ho Seok. Everything will be okay soon."

"Excuse me?" A nurse walked in. "I just need to check some things. Do you mind giving me a few minutes?" She asked Ho Seok.

"Yes, okay." He walked out.

"I was checked up on not too long ago. Do you need to again already?" I asked, a bit confused.

"No... I don't need to check the same things they did before."

"Okay. So, what are you checking then?"
