I woke up feeling refreshed and twenty times better then yesterday. Looking around I seen Tae on his phone in chair beside me.
He looked over his phone and smiled at me with raised eyebrows.
"Good morning?" He chuckled .
"W-what time is it?" I moaned as the pain slowly seeped back.
He looked at his watch.
"One pm, you slept in ."
I groaned. "W-when am I leaving?" I asked , eager to get on with my holiday and get better.
He frowned. "You'll be here for five more days."
My heart sunk. Why? I don't fully know. Theres not much I could do if I went back anyway. I guess I'm just scared that Tae will get bored of me and not come to visit.
"Can I sit up?" I asked desperately.

"Ehhm no , no I don't think you should." He frowned feeling sorry for me.
"I brought you this portable Tv I brought on holiday with me," he said as he rummaged through a bag and produced a small screen on a stand that goes on either side of your body .
"What!? Thank you so much!" I sighed in happiness. A smile spread across my face.
He adjusted it on the end of my bed asking where to leave it so I could see it.
We flicked through netflix looking for something to watch disagreeing on everything.
"Too slushy." He remarked on my favourite tv show , deeply offending me and starting me off on a rant which ended in a drawn out conversation.
We finally agreed on watching the titanic for both our one hundreth time.

"There was fucking room." He fake sobbed imitating  every girl.

"There was though." I sobbed in real tears. He rolled his eyes.
Maybe hospital was going to be a little more fun then I thought.

We watched movies four hours on end . I felt the happiest I had felt in so long. It was nine o clock when Tae said he had to go and promised he'd be back tommorrow. I smiled as he left . I slept well that night.

I woke again feeling so much better. The nurse informed me my ribs and hip were healing very quickly ( good genetics she said ) she levered my bed up to a sittung position makinf me feel sick and end up vomiting into the bin.
She told me it was totally normal amd taught me how to put the bed up and down.
  Tae came later then usual and laughed proudly at my dissapointed face.
"You missed me that much?" He laughed.
"Whats that?" I smiled as I looked at the plastic bag he had in his hand .
"Oh," he smiled as he sat down.
He reached in and took out some printed polaroids and pretty shells.

"Wow!" I exclaimed as I sorted through the shells. I put them all on my bedside.
I looked through the polaroids as he explained in detail about all the shell types and how he 'risked his life' trying to get them just for me .
I propped the polaroids of the beach , the tree and the camp he had given me around the shells and rolled my eyes as I put his selfie in the middle (as requested) .

"It looks like a shrine ." I laughed .

"A Taehyung shrine , I like it." He laughed .

"It hurts when I laugh." I whined . It did.

"Lets just not talk ." He smiled.
I looked up at him smiling. For once I seen him in a completely different way. I seen him as more then a friend. But not solely on his looks. But more on his personality and how safe and happy he made me feel.
I seen him leaning towards me .
   I braced myself to welcome his soft lips onto mine. I couldn't believe this was happening to me. A beautiful boy with the best personality was about to kiss me.
I closed my eyes in anticipation.

"Woah, don't go falling asleep on me." I heard.
What?
My eyes bounced open at light speed.
Idiot. Idiot idiot idiot.
I seen him bending under his chair reaching into the bag he had brought.
He wasnt going to kiss me, he was leaning in to reach the bag under his chair .
Full of embarrassement I looked away as I tried to regain normality.
   He produced a board game of scrabble and layed it out on my over bed table smiling his box smile like an excited child.

Scrabble it is....
