// Hongbin's P.O.V //

"Miss," I said. She looked over to me.

"Yes?"

"Can I," for a moment, I hesitated.

"Can I tell you something?"

"Yeah, go ahead."

"Do you remember me miss?" 'I hope that you remember me.'

"Are you someone that I'm supposed to know?" I nodded my head in response.

"Yes."

"Who are you? How long have I've known you?" She asked. 'You've known me your whole life, don't you remember?'

"I-" I tried to hold back my tears.

'Who are you?'

Those words ran through my mind as I tried to focus on what I was trying to tell her.

"I am... I am your... I." The words were in my mind, but I was too afraid to say them. I was too afraid of how she might act. Why? Why am I so afraid to tell her who I am? Why am I so afraid to reveal the real me?

"Tell her, hurry. She deserves to know," I heard Dean whisper.

"Uhhh ahem! I am your..." The things I wanted to tell her were all in my mind, but I keep choking on my words.

"If you're not ready to tell me, then I can wait." I looked at her and our eyes met.

"I'm sorry," I said as I walked out of the room.

"What was that just now?" I turned around and saw Dean who was standing right before me.

"I'm sorry Dean-"

"If you're sorry then go back in there and tell her the truth." I shook my head.

"Why?"

"I can't."

"Why can't you? What's holding you back? She-"

"Because I am not ready to tell her!" I snapped. I can't help but admit that I have an ugly tongue.

"Who are you to tell me what to tell her and when? Do you think you know me? Have you -

"SHE DESERVES TO KNOW, okay? Now, I know that I am the last person that you want to deal with right now, but she deserves to know. Please." I nodded my head.

"Okay," I said.

"Just give me some time. I need to process things. I've just found her for christ sake. Please, give me time until I think I am ready."

"What if she finds out on her own?" He asked me.

"If she does, I'll tell her everything. Until then, please don't pressure me to do something I'm not ready to do. I'm begging you."

"If you don't prepare yourself, how will you ever be ready?" He asked. He does have a point.

"That is why I need some time until I'm ready. I need to prepare myself." He nodded his head.

"Alright. I'm sorry for pressuring you so much. When you're ready, tell her. She deserves to know." He walked out of the hospital. I sat there thinking of a way to tell her. But I couldn't come up with a way without hesitating. I went back into the room.

"Where did Kwonhyuk go?" She asked.

"I think he went back home," I said. She nodded her head.

"What brings you here?" She asked.
