Later that night,

chap.) 4

I felt his breath on my face, close enough I can hear his heartbeat.

Until I heard the ringtone, he smiled with a sad expression then walked away.

What was I thinking?

I slid down on my knees, my whole energy was absorbed by him. My legs were weak, but my heart was strongly pounding.

Until the white horror came and drags me back to the room. A usual bland food, nothing special.

 

Tubes going inside me, the smell of iodine haunted me.  As usual, I already missed him.

Day 3)

I woke up as the alarm goes off, the air was chilly, and the leaves were falling.
It was already falling, and since when, fall was this cold. My body was weak, I felt like throwing up.

White horror again comes in, takes off the tubes, tells me to have a checkup. I couldn't stand as strong as before, gladly they offered me the wheelchair.

As the white horror pushed the wheelchair, my vision was blurred out, couldn't think straight.

The next thing I know was, I was in the room, with larger space, and with twice as many tubes.

Day ?)

I woke up, with an unfamiliar room, I knocked out when I realized that I was transferred into another room.

I heard the mumble from outside, which sounded like my mother, with another man. I assume it's doctor, I groaned as I sit up straight.

There was a letter sitting on the desk,  I picked up & started to read.

Uh, Hi..
This is really the first time writing a letter to anyone. I visited on July 8th and 9th, you were unconscious and I was really worried. I wanted to make sure you were really fine. I miss your voice, I'll visit again later in August. I had to move out of this country for my work, and I won't be able to write a letter like this.
Oh no, this is really embarrassing, anyways...
Hope you get well soon.

Sincerely,
Hyunjin

He is really sweet, of course, I miss him but I had no choice but to wait for him to visit.

And it went just like that until August.
