[Arthit's POV]

Teeet... Teet... Teet...

A continuous sound of a digital heart monitoring device was the first thing my ears caught after God knows how long had it been. My body felt very weak and the temperature was cold as if I was in an AC-room. I could feel slight pain on both of my arms like a needle prick and numbness over my back and bottom. I must had been lying so long that it sored this bad.

All I could see at that moment was darkness. I tried to open my eyelids but they just didn't want to move. So, I gave up. I tried to recall what had happened. What was the last thing that had happened before I ended like this. Could I be dead by now? I was started to question myself. But then, my consciousness helped to sort thing out. I shouldn't be dead, yet. I still could hear the heart machine. It could mean that I was in a hospital.

I tried to picture what had happened. However it didn't come out easily. I tried even harder and it was tiring. Then, a picture of water appeared, like I was inside a water... lake? river? sea? I saw I was swimming inside the body of water, it was clouded with dirt. It seemed like I was searching for something. What was I looking for?

Then, a shiny object inside the clouded water appeared in my trains of thought. It was glimmering despite the clouded water. A ring? The image suddenly struck me and all of the halted memory began to stream into my mind rapidly. I was inside Noh's body, Kongpope sang to me in a park, Picture appeared, he jumped into the water with my Kongpope, I tried to save Kongpope, Picture was yanking my legs... Everything. I remembered everything! I need to save him!

Kongpope!

I tried to writhe my body but I might be too tired to even do so. I wanted to move my fingers but they were damn heavy! What's wrong with me? I need to get out from here. My Kongpope... It stressed me out so much that suddenly the machine started beeping in an alarming sound. The sound didn't help much to put me at ease. My head felt like being crushed from outside. The pain was so excruciating that the last thing I heard was a clamor voice of panic.

"Nurse! Nurse! Nurse!"

It was a young woman's voice.

"How is he?"

I heard that familiar voice. The voice that soothed me all the time, that mouthed the four letters word that I was too shy to say. That voice that I had longed badly, that I thought I would never hear it anymore. He is alive, he survived.

I slowly cracking my eyes open. After hearing his voice, my body felt a surge of new strength inside me. I wanted to see his face. To assure myself that he was alright. I opened up my eyes little by little, adjusting the blinding white light.

"He is awake!"

Another voice came across. It was the same voice I heard before. A girl's voice that I wasn't accustomed to. Who is she? Out of blue, I felt a hand grabbed mine and another hand caressing my face. They were soft and small. I tried to get the image of the person as my vision was still kind of bleary.

I batted my eyelids to get a clearer view. Before me, a beautiful girl was cupping my face. She was tearing in happiness. Without any warning, she came closer and kissed me on the forehead. I was startled by the sudden lunge.

Then, my eyes caught the image of Kongpope standing near the door, with a bouquet of sunflowers. He looked as handsome as always, with that teasingly grin on his face. I could never had enough of him. He was in his light blue jeans, white top, and a dark brown leather jacket to complete.
