–47 hours later–

'You're awake late, Miss Lee.' Nurse Eun said softly as she wheeled a trolley beside Chaeryeong's hospital bed. 'How are you feeling?'

Chaeryeong stared at the end of her bed. The truth was, she felt empty. She felt confused. She felt lifeless. I mean, what did she expect? She'd lost the only person she ever loved two days ago.

'I'm fine.'

The nurse sighed empathetically, sitting down at the end of her bed. 'Sweetheart... You're going to get better.'

Suddenly a wave of anger bubbled up inside the girl. 'How can I possibly get better? How am i supposed to get better?!'

'...Chaeryeong, dear. I don't know the full story of what you've been through. I don't know how you felt when everything happened. And I don't know how you feel know. But I do know that time heals everything. Even if your wound is the deepest in the world, time will heal it. It's worth waiting for.' The nurse smiled, before patting the girl's knee and getting up.

Chaeryeong watched as the nurse placed a glass of water from the trolley onto her bedside table, and left the room.

Sighing, she reached over and picked up a polaroid. The only photo her parents didn't destroy. The only photo she owned of Yuna and her. It was a picture of them at graduation, hand in hand and smiling at the camera. The  person who took the photo was probably some random old friend of hers. It didn't really matter.

A warm tear trickled down Chaeryeong's face as she held the polaroid close to her heart. She remembered how it felt having Yuna's heart beat against hers. She remembered how it felt to have her arms wrapped tightly around her small frame. She remembered how it felt to look into her eyes and see her favourite colour.

'I miss you Yuna.' Chaeryeong whispered into the darkness.

I miss you too. She almost heard.

Chaeryeong loved Yuna, and Yuna loved Chaeryeong.

It was as simple, and as complicated as that.
