Reassurance

At this moment, it does not look like Taehyung can do much of anything, but since the second he woke up, he hasn't taken his eyes off of you. He opens his mouth like he wants to try and say something, but then he closes it, and a single tear creeps out the corner of his eye.

"Taehyung, baby, it's okay. We don't have to talk right now." You assured him with a soft smile.

Another tear slips out the corner of his eye.

You leaned in, wiped his tears away, and kissed him on the cheek.

The doctor, still in the room, breaks the silence when he speaks...

"Miss, can we talk outside for a moment?" He asks.

You looked over to the doctor, then back to Taehyung.

"Alright, Oppa, let's see if you can hear me and then try to communicate with your eyes. Blink once for yes, and twice for no. The doctor wants to talk with me in the hallway. Is that okay with you?" I asked.

Taehyung looks directly at you and blinks once.

"Okay, Taehyung, I will be right back." You stated.

You followed the doctor out into the hallway.

"What is it, doctor?" You initiated.

"Well..." He started slowly and hesitantly.

"I just wanted to talk with you about where we are now since he is awake. His state right now is called minimally conscious. He has already shown that he can communicate with you, but what I would like for you to do over the next day or two is test how well he can respond to different commands... moving a finger, wiggling a toe, simple things like that. I can still see that this boy of yours has a strong spirit, and I truly believe he will make a full recovery. I've got rounds now. I will check in on you two later." Explained the doctor.

After you went back into your boyfriend's room, you found him lying there with his eyes closed, and that made you feel scared pretty fast, wondering how anything else could have happened to him.

Swiftly but quietly, you walked over to him and softly took his hand into yours. He opened his eyes, and a weak and almost invisible smile appeared when he looked up at you.

"It's ok, Tae, everything is ok. You are going to be fine. I am here for you. I will always be here for you." You said, trying to comfort him.

You let a few minutes slip past with no words, just looking into his eyes... those beautiful brown eyes you had prayed would open back up.

"Can you do something for me, Tae?" You asked.

Taehyung blinked his eyes once.

"Straighten out your index finger on your right hand." You instructed.

He did as you requested.

"Wiggle your big toe on your left foot." You continued.

He looked at you baffled, but still, he did as you said... again.

"Thank you for doing as I asked Tae. Even though they seemed weird, you did them anyway." You reasoned.

He nodded. After a few moments, he lightly squeezed your hand, sighed, and closed his eyes... as if to tell you that he wanted to sleep.

"I know that you must be exhausted, Taehyung, so get some rest. I promise you I won't go anywhere." You assured.

He opened his eyes looked at you as he squeezed your hand again. You planted a soft kiss on those perfect lips of his, and he smiled weakly as he interlaced his fingers with yours... firm but not tight... closing his eyes again.
