Hoyeon's POV

"Are you feeling any better?" Jisung asked. I nodded, a cup of water around my hands. I sniffed and sighed for the nth time. "Can you.." I looked at him and he but his lip.

Cute.

"Can you tell me what's the reason why you're always crying?" I just gave him a small smile. "I will, but not now. Can you wait?" He smiled and nodded.

I drank the last drops of water and placed the cup on the table. My face heated up when Jisung patted my back again. "Are you sure that you're fine now?"

"Yeah. Thanks for comforting me again, it means a lot." What I mean by it means a lot, it literally means a lot. He nodded and stood up. "No problem. Anyway, you should stop crying,"

I raised a brow at him. He kneeled in front of me and held both of my hands, massaging the back part of it. He stared right into my eyes but it was still empty.

I'll wait for the time that'll be filled with love and belongingness. "You have beautiful eyes," He said, tinting my cheeks red. "Should I include your face?"

"Hey," He chuckled lightly. "No, really. You have a beautiful angelic face yet you always cry. Aren't angels supposed to be happy?" I stayed quiet. "If he doesn't remember you yet, then find a way how he will."

"Jisung.." I'm feeling like I'm gonna cry again. "Spend time with him. Don't leave his side. You love him, don't you? Then fight for him. Don't let all his love go to waste."

"Jisung, I hate you so much because you get a fucking point." I mumbled and my eyes filled with tears again. He just laughed and hugged me again. He brushed my hair with his huge hands.

It felt like before..

He pulled away and softly pinched my cheek. "Don't you cry now, okay? Remember what I said." He said like a boss. "Yes, sir." I replied and he went back to his bed.

The door opened and Jihoon was back. He looked at me then at Jisung. He tried to hide a smirk but I saw it either way. "What happened when I was out?" He asked. I looked at Jisung and motioned to zip his mouth.

"We both got turns in the bathroom," I said. Jihoon nodded and looked down on Jisung's breakfast. The latter continued to eat his food and I put my earphones in my ears, listening to music.

My eyes feel so heavy and I took a short nap.

Jisung's POV

After I finished my breakfast, my nurse came to take it. I thanked her and Jihoon hyung did, too. He looked at his wrist watch. "Sungie, I have to go home and run some errands for Mom," He looked at Hoyeon.

"Don't worry," He glanced to me. "I'll take care of her." He smiled. "I know that you will. Anyway, you'll be discharged tomorrow afternoon," I nodded and smiled. "I gotta go now. See you." He waved goodbye and left my room.

I walked around my room, humming different songs. I stopped walking when my mind went 'Can You Feel The Love Tonight' from Lion King. "Childhood." I shrugged it off and sang it anyway.

I looked down on my bed side table and was shocked to see Jihoon hyung's phone. "He's becoming old." I smirked and opened his phone. I have a fingerprint equipped inside so I went freely in his phone.

I pressed his gallery and there are tons of pictures of him and, according to him, our friends. I scrolled to one and the other, seeing us smile. We looked happy.

As I scrolled continuously, I noticed that everytime my picture appears, I'm always beside Hoyeon or having an arm around Hoyeon.

And we looked.. happy, really happy.

I was surprised my head hadn't hurt, so I went on and on. I cupped my cheek and it was wet. I placed Jihoon hyung's phone on the bed and I touched my eyes.

I was crying all along?

I looked back at hyung's phone and it was me hugging Hoyeon. Jihoon hyung was a photo bomber maybe that's why he saved it in his phone.

I glanced up at Hoyeon and she was still sleeping peacefully. I sighed.

"Who were you?"

Hoyeon's POV

I fluttered my eyes open and saw Jisung looking at me. My face immediately went hot and I covered it. "W-What are you looking at?" I asked. Jisung just chuckled. "I thought you won't wake up."

"That's rude," We both laughed. I looked around and raised a brow at him. "Anyway, what time is it?" He looked at a wall clock I haven't seen and said, "It's lunch time."

I stood up, alarmed. "What?! I didn't mean to sleep that long." I hit my head but Jisung grabbed my hand. "Don't, it's okay. I declined my nurse a while ago so we can eat lunch together."

I smiled. He's still so sweet. He cocked his head. "Let's go to the cafeteria." I nodded and followed him out of his room. I hugged myself as we made our way.

We arrived and Jisung chose a table in a far corner. "What do you want to eat?" I asked. Jisung tapped his fingers on the table and looked at me. "Do you know the food that I like?"

My heart skipped a beat. I nodded. "Vegetable soup with beef." His eyes widened. "You do." I pointed at the counter with my thumb. "Should I go get it for you?" He grinned. "Yes, please."

"Alright. I'll be back." I said and went to the counter to buy our lunch. I ordered Jisung's vegetable soup with beef and I ordered mine. After I got our food, I walked towards our table when I saw Jisung waving to another patient.

It was a girl.

I placed the tray on the table and sat in front of Jisung. "Who was that?" I asked and my voice tone came out as a bit rude. I bit my tongue while Jisung replied, "Oh, she used to use my room before she moved to another one. Her name is Jiheon."

I just nodded and I got a bit jealous. I bit my lip and tried not to ask if they are more than just friends. We started to eat our lunch and we discussed a topic or two, laughing and chuckling.

We finished our lunch and we headed back to Jisung's hospital room. "Oh, by the way, I'm getting discharged tomorrow. Just saying," He glanced at me and I giggled. "Because I know you care."

I stopped walking as he entered his room. I put a hand over my chest, my heart beating so fast.

"I know you'll come back.." I whispered to myself. "And you do realize that I care."
