   "Are you alive?" An unfamiliar voice asks. I opened my eyes and quickly sat up, hyperventilating.

   "What the hell?" I held my head which was throbbing and aching at the moment. "Was that a dream?"

   "No. It was not."

   "Who said that?" I look around amd notice that I'm in a hospital room. The air conditioning is on high and I rub the goosebumps on my arms.

A hand parted the curtains that protected my privacy. The girl that I saw before I ran into the street appeared.

She looked even prettier up close.

Her brown skin contrasting against her bright white dress and messy hair. But, her eyes sent shivers down my spine.

   "You should be happy." She replied almost quietly. "I saved your life."

   "And who are you?" I arched an eyebrow.

   She sat on the bed, near my legs. "I'm your savior. I saved you from dying when those doctors couldn't do it."

   "What are you talking about?" I moved over. "You're crazy."

   "I gave you one of my lives," she blurted when I placed my feet on the cold hospital floor.

   "What are you, a cat?" I chuckled.

   "Do you take me for a joke? You were just hit by a bus, Minho. I saved you. Now, I can take my life back and you can die." Her eyes glowed red as she leaned closer with a threatening glare.

   "No. No. No. " I waved frantically. "I like... living. Thank you ... for saving me."

   "You're welcome." She smiled widely, revealing her fangs. "Now you're forever in my debt."

   "What?"

   "You saved me. I saved you, now until you save me again. You're forever in my debt."

   "Huh? Wait-- No. Where did you... How could I have saved you when I haven't ever met you?"

   "Remember the painting you broke?" I nodded slowly. "I was trapped in there."

I stepped back. I had to sit down before I passed out.

   "You're telling me that you came from a painting?"

   "That's correct, Minho."

   "And how do you know my name?!"

   "It'd be rude of me to not know my hero's name."

   "I'm not your hero."

   "Yes you are. Just as I am your hero."

Suddenly the door swung open and a doctor along with Kibum entered.

   "Minho!" He exclaimed and pulled me into a much unexpected hug. "You're alive! Thank God!" He pulled away to look at me then embraced me even tighter than before.
