"Jaebeom!" I yell as I see him walk through the entrance of the hospital. He notices me and Youngjae and quickly walks over to us. I have a feeling he was about to talk to Kay, but I think we should plan what we're going to say first. 

"I need to talk to Kay, we have to figure this out.. Maybe we could play out our first meeting at JYP? When did she start to like me? Did she actually like me in the first place? I have so many thoughts I just need to ask her..." Jaebeom starts to ramble, the words coming out faster than my own thoughts.

"Gosh, honestly, why do I feel like a supporting role in my own life." I mumble, and in my peripheral vision I see Youngjae nod his head in agreement. Jaebeom continues to talk even as I speak. I blink a few times at Youngjae. "Can't we just run away, avoid all of this and live our own lives, I'm sure they can sort them selves out?"

"Is there any point, though?" Jaebeom finally pauses for a second to think about the answer to his own question. I feel my brain suddenly become lighter, thanks to the sudden silence. "Is there any point asking her anything when she can't remember?"

"Ugh, you're so pitiful!" I suddenly yell at him. He looks at me taken aback, not really knowing how to respond. "Here's whats going to happen. You are going to go in there, on your own, you are going to have a normal conversation with her, you can avoid the topic of bias, and the topic of mark, and anything that you think will hurt your heart, and she will get to know you as a person again."

"How am I supposed to avoid talking about Mark? Plus, he's her bias so she'll probably bring him up all the time," Jaebeom responds finally. I stare at him a few times in disbelief.

"Kay does not like Mark as a person but sh- gosh, why do I have to deal with all your relationship problems, no one helped me with the Jackson situation." I suddenly realise that I don't have to do any of this. It'll all work out anyway. Kay likes Jaebeom as a person, not as a kpop idol - whereas she likes Mark as a kpop idol. Jaebeom isn't listening so I guess I'll just give up.

"It'll work out, dude," Youngjae finally speaks up, in my place. "Be yourself, let Kay be herself, and then fate will happen, just as it happened before. No one has changed."

"Except Youngjae, according to Kay, who - by the way - is pissed at me for no reason, probably because of Jackson's version of what happened," I say in a bland tone.

"Okay, I'll go and talk to her," Jaebeom finally says and starts off in the direction of the hospital room.

Youngjae and I sit in the cafe for a while, waiting for them to make up. Eventually the 4 that were up there originally came down and met us. We all talked about random stuff. Jackson and I are still awkward, but it'll be okay eventually. Mark still voices his concern for the couple in the hospital room, but we assure that they'll be fine.

About three hours later, I open my eyes, and allow my eyes to adjust to the light. I must have fallen asleep eventually. In my peripheral vision I see two silhouettes outlined within the light coming from the cafe window. The two familiar figures walk towards our table and I quickly pull myself up from whatever - or whoever - I was leaning on.

I eventually adjust to reality, and my brain finally wakes up to realise that Kay and Jaebeom have come to the cafe to see us. I instantly nudge whoever is leaning on me, which causes a domino affect which eventually wakes everyone up.

"Why are you guys sleeping in the middle of a cafe?" I hear Kay's voice softly ask. I look over at her and the first thing I notice is her hand interlocked with another hand. I follow the hand with my gaze and realise that the hand she was interlocked with was - of course - Jaebeom's.

"Fucking finally. We've been sat here for 100 years waiting for you guys to figure it out," Jackson speaks up before I can, his suddenness surprises me causing me to jump slightly in my seat.

"Can I go and live my own life now that yours has sorted itself out?" I ask, looking between the two. I feel a sense of relief that I now have no relationship to fix, and I can work on my own future, in my own relationship.

"I'm sorry, I've been such a pain and have ruined your happiness," Kay mumbles. She sits on Jackson's lap, whilst still holding onto Jaebeom's hand. Neither of the guys look fazed at all. 

"I guess things really are back to normal,"
