When Ken returned from buying some foods for him and Chen to eat, Ravi stood up and leave last words to Ken before driving to the hospital where Hyuk and Hongbin are at. When Ravi arrived, he found Hongbin on the chairs outside the room where Hyuk is at  moment. He looks horrible and depressed with his swollen eyes, red nose due to all the crying, and tired face as he wasn't able to rest physically and mentally. Ravi sat beside him but he doesn't even turn to him, seemingly out of his mind. Ken understood so he just let himself be the first to talk to gain his attention.

"Binnie. How's Hyukkie?" Hongbin jolted his head and looked at him. He wiped the remaining tears and answered.

"H-he's still there. The doctors are still trying revive him. They have been there for so long. H-Hyuk...might bot survive-"

"Shut up!" The people surrounding them turned to them, slightly scared and annoyed at Ravi's sudden outburst. Hongbin looked shocked as well but waited for his friend to explain his action. The latter cleared his throat and loked at him straight in the eyes. "Binnie. Listen. If Hyukkie needs anything it's your faith. Our faith. That's the least thing we can do and you loosing it is so stupid." Hongbin looks as if he got what the ther meant to say. He bowed his head, feeling ashamed. Ravi lifted them up to face him again.

"I know it's taking too long but we need to be patient. We will see Hyuk again. He'll blame himself more if you show up like a weakling you are right now." Hongbin smiled at the thought that he will see Hyuk again in a coscious state. Ravi sighed in satisfaction. Hongbin wiped the new tears that come out.

"Weren't you the same for Taekwoon?" The question got Ravi staring at him, awestruck. He is suppose to cheer his friend up but he can't lie about that obvious fact. "I bet you also cried like this." Ravi smiled a little. It's true and Hongbin don't need to hear a 'yes' to confirm.

"But look at me. I'm not crying anymore. Neither Taekwoon nor Hyuk likes it that we're crying like this." Hongbin held tightly his favorite sweater that belongs to Hyuk. "Everything will be okay. Hmm?" The latter nodded and let out a small smile again. "That's it....also." Ravi bowed his head. "I'm so sorry about being so rude to you guys....it's all my fault." He whisper the last part.

The door opened and revealed the nurses and the doctor who assisted Hyuk. The two immediately stood up and faced the doctor. "S-sir. How was he?" Ravi immediately asked. The doctor didn't give them any guessing to do as he smiled to them.

"He was saved." Hongbin let out a deep sigh that didn't know he was holding for a ling time. Ravi gave him an 'I told you so' look where he got a tearful smile in return. "You may go in but please press the button if he gets violent." Hongbin didn't listen anymore and excuse himself, too eager to meet his lover. However, Ravi puckered his brows and asked the doctor.

"W-why would he be violent?" The doctor looked at him intently before speaking.

"The pills that he consumed aren't sleeping pills." Ravi widen his eyes, worried at what he heard.

"B-but...based from the investigators, there was a bottle of sleeping pills at the bathroom and some of them were scathered on the floor." The doctor nodded as if he expect the other to mention the result of the investigation.

"The latest findings were declared to us few minutes after that kid was sent here. They said that the pills weren't sleeping pills and are anti-depressants. He also got non fatal cuts on his thighs. The conclusion is up to you as evidences are provided." Ravi looked at his feet, thingking deeply.

This only means that Hyuk is depressed and is keeping to Binnie and everyone. Why?

"I will be leaving. I will tell more of what needs to be done for him later." The doctor bowed to excuse himself and he left. Ravi went inside as well and saw how Hongbin is happily playing with Hyuk's hair.
