Ch. 12 Routine (Forth POV)

Forth POV

I've been coming every single day to see him and every day is the same as it was before it was my daily routine.

I would come here right after my classes are done to see him. Occasionally I would bring some flowers and place it at his bedside. It was a daily occurrence but I would and will never tire of it. I love him and will love him till the day I die.

His parents would stop by every now and then to see how he was doing. But recently I noticed when I would talk to them that glints of guilt were in their eyes as if they were hiding something. However, I did not pry as it was not my business but for some reason, I had a bad feeling about it. I just tossed those feeling aside for now.

I entered the room as usual and gave Ming a "Hi." and a wave but he didn't pay any mind to me. He seemed to be stuck deep in his thoughts.

I shrugged and let him be. Walking over to Yo's bed and take a look at the beautiful boy. He's going to be mine I do hope but even if he doesn't choose me or want me I will still spoil the hell out of him once he wakes.

It's been a long time since he's been in a coma and everyone at the school is telling me to stop hoping and to give it up. I would never because hope is all I have and hope is all I need. I know Wayo will wake because he's stronger than this.

I sit at his bedside and grab his hands. So soft and so pale. I release my grasp on him and rummage through my satchel pulling out a book. Not just any book but a manga book and not just any manga but Yo's favorite One Piece.

I've been reading to him his favorite manga for a week now. It's a stupid thing but I feel that he likes it but who am I to know. He probably would prefer to see the images instead because it seemed like a Yo kind of thing. Maybe?

I'm hoping he wakes up soon or at all even. Ever since he went into his coma it's like the light has been sucked out of our world. The days seem to be always cloudy. We need him back... I need him back...

I open my eyes noticing that the day had gone by. The sky was an amber color as the sun was setting. I didn't even notice I had fallen asleep. The last thing I remember was laying my head down on Yo's bed, resting my hand on his, and just watching him.

I got up and noticed that my hand was interlocked with his. Did I do that while I was asleep or was it Yo responding to my touch? Either way, it warmed my heart.

After unwinding our hands I headed towards the door. Turned around and took a look at him one last time. It was then I finally took notice on how Ming was gone. He must've gotten released while I was asleep. I'm surprised he didn't stay at the hospital with Yo but I'm sure he had his reasons.

He was probably sick of the hospital and its food. Maybe he went out to grab something I would do the same in his position.

I check the time on my phone and see that it's almost past visiting hours for anyone but family. I better hurry out of here before they kick me out.

I walk out the door and back to the hospital lobby. I head to the front doors and notice a familiar figure sitting on the bench outside. It was Ming. I walk over and take a seat next to him.

"How was your nap princess?" He joked

I lightly smacked him.

"I'm not a princess you are. You're the one getting pampered on that hospital bed of yours for the past few weeks." I retorted.

"If that's what you call being pampered," Ming said.

We both chuckled. Oh, how I missed times like these where I could just sit back and relax. I don't think it will ever be the same again.

"Take care of him..." Ming said bringing me out of my thoughts. 

"What?" I said.

"Take care of Yo. I know he will wake up and when he does. Please make him happy." said Ming as tears ran down his face.

"I will Nong. I mean Ming. I promise Ming with all my heart. I will make him the happiest person in the world. I love him I really do. " I replied.

"I know you do. I've been watching you and ai can see it in your eyes. The love for him and the guilt as well." he said.

With that, we both just sat there saying nothing more until Ming had gotten picked up and said goodbye.
