Hana's POV

The past incident made me unable to have a good sleep that I usually have when I go to bed. Nothing gone right whenever I did something.

On the bright yet cold Saturday morning, I was told to stay in hospital again for further examination. I wasn't excited to see the white walls and ceilings that I always see, and I'm not missing any of the atmosphere around the hospital grounds, except for the trees. I looked outside of the huge window and saw the trees waving as the wind blow them. Some leaves has fallen from its branches and it somehow sadden me inside.

I imagine the leaves as my memories that are slowly fading away. Soon enough, I won't even be able to remember who I am. Baekhyun accompanied me to the hospital on the early morning when I left for hospital. "Baekhyun-ah," I mumbled. He stopped at whatever he was doing and looked at me. "When the time has arrive where I might forget you," I stopped and took a deep breath. "Will you still be here with me?"

I turned my attention from the window to him and I can already see he's staring at me, his mouth speaks of none but his eyes showed everything. "I will," He walked towards me and softly hold my hand. "Until your last breath."

His mouth speaks of truth but his eyes are more honest, it speaks everything, sadness masked beneath the truth and determination. I smile, "Thank you." That's all I could say to him, because I couldn't find any more words fit the situation I am in, maybe not yet. Maybe sooner.

Day passed quick and tomorrow has comes. On Sunday morning, I was woken up by a loud crash beside my bed and I quickly turned my head towards the source of the sound and saw Baekhyun is standing there, holding a cup while the other has dropped to the floor. "Sorry, I woke you up." He apologizes. "No, it's fine." I sit up on my bed and Baekhyun helped me. "You're so early today." I smile.

"Ah, yeah. And I was about to make you some hot chocolate." He wiped his palms on his bright blue jeans and made me laugh. "What day is today?" I asked Baekhyun as he does the drinks. "It's Sunday."

I breathe deeply and looked down on my hands. "One week left, huh." I murmured under my breath, not wanting Baekhyun to hear it. "Here's your hot chocolate." He handed in a yellow cup of hot chocolate that he made just now to me. "The cup is cute", I spoke out of my thought. There's a cup drawing of bear on the cup with ribbon, and somewhat a red string at the back. "It's cute, right? I know you would like it. Because," He showed me his cup. "It's a pair." His cup has the same drawing of bear carved on mine, except it doesn't wears ribbon.

"Woah!" I said, excitedly. "See?" Baekhyun moved his cup closer to mine. There, the bear on each of our cup seems like there's together. And I noticed something, that the red string at the back on my cup is connected with Baek's. "They are connected by the string," I murmured. "They are," Baekhyun agrees. "That's one of the reason why I bought it." He smile as he looked at me.

I am so touched by that moment. By that time, I wonder, how can I get such kind man in my life? And sometimes I wonder if I deserve such man. But his every moves assured me that I do, he showed how much he loves me and erase my insecurities in a short matter of time. And by that time, I couldn't help but to shed tears. "Why are you crying?" Baekhyun stands up from his chair, panicked when he saw tears escaped my eyes.

"I really," I sob. "don't know what to do with you, idiot."

He put his cup on the small coffee table at the side and softly wrapped his hands around me. "I'm your shoulder so just cry. I'll be here." He said.

"I will," I said between cries. "miss you, a lot."

He hug me tighter after he heard that and a moment after I can feel my back is wet. "I will, too." He said. His voice is small and shaking. "Greatly."
