You held up the first card "Do you remember this letter" you asked holding a picture of an A. He closed his eyes trying to ignore you "I know you think this is dumb but can you just try for me please" you said not putting up with him today. He sighed and looked at it, when he tried to make a sound a gargling sound came out. It hurt to see him like this, helpless. "You know that this is like when we first met. I was helpless and you helped me, Jaebeom its time for me to repay you, got it" you said holding up a new card. He smiled slightly "Alright this is B, can you try it" you asked. You could see he was trying. "How about lets just work on forming the letters" you suggested when you saw he couldn't speak still. He hit the cards out of your hand and you could see a tear rolling down his face so you wiped it. "You will be able to do it again, do you trust me" you asked and held his hand. He nodded and pulled himself together. "Lets just try one more, how about a short sentence" you suggested. He didn't look impressed. "Please". He sighed and nodded signaling for you to continue. "I love you" you said weakly. You honestly really wanted to hear him say that. "I-" he tried and couldn't, you looked away wiping a few of your own tears "I-love-you" he just barley managed to spit out. You looked at him a bit surprised "You did it" you said kissing him on the cheek, "I told you that you will get better" you said and gave him a genital hug. "Are you hungry" Jinyoung asked you as he walked in, you just shook your head while he nodded " You didn't eat a lot yesterday, at least have a few bites" he said handing you a small sandwich, Jaebeom nodded. You could tell he was trying to tell you to eat too, so you had a few bites. With every passing day Jaebeom was getting better, after a month or so he was able to say full sentences. "I want you" he said slowly, your giggled "Not here" you whispered and kissed his lips softly. "You can't say no" he said sitting up more, he moved your hand onto his bulge. "Excuse me, ma'm" a nurse said and you quickly pulled your hand away. "Can you sign this sheet, then he can go home" she said handing you a piece of paper. You didn't read threw it because there was a lot to it. The nurse got him off of all of the wires and gave him back his regular clothing, you helped him get dressed "You ready" you asked a bit nervous yourself. He gave a nod "I have you" he said under his breath.
