Doctor Park stares at me, still smiling.

"I-" Wincing, I thought that my voice sounds really terrible right now. So much for laying in bed for a full night.

Doctor Park nods at me, motioning for me to go on.

"I-I don't understand...Am I...really...cured now?"

Doctor Park puts down his clipboard on the table and looked down at me. "Well, I'm certain of it, but we still have to be sure that this girl," he looks at Jisoo. "Is your cure. But because I see that she's been resting her hand on yours the whole night and you've hadn't met with any reactions, she's definitely the one."

Jisoo...was Sooji.

Just then, Jisoo slowly sat up, stirring awake as she squinted her eyes and looked around in a daze. "Youngie...?"

I let a warm tear roll off my cheek as I slowly wrapped my arms around the girl and pulled her into a hug, my hand roaming around the back of her head.

"Are you okay now? This isn't a dream, is it?" Jisoo asked, her chin resting on my shoulder as he trembling hands reached up to my back.

"I missed you, so, so much, Sooji. Don't ever leave me again, okay? Don't ever leave me again." I whispered, sniffing.

I could feel Jisoo- no, Sooji's head shift up and down against my neck as I held her even closer and hugged her tighter than before.

I glanced at the two of them from outside the ward, and I sighed. But this time, not in fear, not in anger, not in anger, but in relief.

Just as I was about to step away, someone taps me on my shoulder.

It was a girl, who was around my age or maybe even younger. "Oh...you..." I say, turning around.

"Things aren't working well with you and Soonyoung, huh?" I asked, sitting down on a bench outside the ward.

"It never went well. I guess I should have realized sooner, that I don't really love him. I was just infatuated with him, and that I was over-obsessed." Seolhyun sighs, puffing her cheeks out in thought.

"You'll find someone. Soon." I said, shrugging.

Seolhyun nodded and stared into blank space.

"Wait, hold on. Give me a moment."Joshua gasps as he pulls away from me and fumbled for his phone, which was vibrating madly on the table.

I flipped my hair and ruffled it a few rimes to make sure it was still neat.

"Hello? Oh, Jisoo!" Joshua smiled as he started to put the call on loudspeaker.

Jisoo?

"Hi, Jisoo. I'm here too with Shua." I grinned.

Joshua raised his fist up in an attempt to shut me up, but I just smiled.

"Hi Joshua, Jeonghan. I'm in the hospital right now with Soonyoung. He got into a small accident yesterday, but he's awake now, would you mind coming over?" Jisoo's tired voice rung into the phone.

I glanced at Joshua and nodded.

"Sure! We'll be there in ten minutes! Text me details of the ward later!" With that, Joshua hung up.

I got off the bed and pouted, digging for a fresh new shirt. "Joshuji...I'm sad...So, so, sadddd." I whined playfully, and Joshua pinched my cheek.

"Relax, Hannie. We'll continue later, alright?" Joshua said before pinching my cheeks again and throwing me a playful wink.

I smiled.

I stared at Soonyoung, who was sipping on a glass of water. I had really taken him for granted, hadn't I? I felt bad. So bad.

"Can you grab me a magazine on the table?"

I got up and tossed him a random magazine.

"Oh, can you get me some cookies?"

I poured some onto a plate and placed the plate in front of Soonyoung.

"Can you help me call my cousin-"

"DUDE I'M NOT YOUR MAID!" I shot Soonyoung a look before he started laughing.

"That's the Sooji I used to know. And you are in some way my maid, because you're my secretary in work." Soonyoung laughed, tossing the magazine aside.

I huffed and sat down. Nope, he takes me for granted.
