I'm Here For You ❤

31. Back

Three months.....

Yeah it's been three months since Ji Eun went into slumber.

No. Tbh, according to Chanyeol, it's been 3 months, 18 days and 5hours.

.

He sighs for the nth time as always.

Soon a click sounds, indicating the door opening and her mom enters.

It's been so awkward for him to talk to her mom, so as usual he gets up to leave, but he stops when Mrs. Lee calls him out.

"Chanyeol... "

"Yes Mam? "

"Call me aunty "she says pursing her lips.

"Uh... Aunty. Do you need something? "

"Actually I've been trying to talk to you for so long....but couldn't "

"Yeah? "

"I know about your relationship......with Ji Eun "

His eyes grow wider

"Uh.... "

"Don't tense . I'm not gonna eat you up " she giggles

"Heheh" he sheepishly rubs his nape not knowing what else to do.

"I just wanted to say thank you "

He goes silent again.

"Thank you for always being there for her and making her feel loved..."

"she never had any friends besides Yumi , so.... thank you "

She gives him a genuine smile with glistened eyes.

He relaxes and feels soft under her gaze.

They both look at Ji Eun for a while.

And stay like that.

.

It's night again.

The days and nights are passing by , in a blink of an eye and she has never shown any sign of good.

He sits there as usual holding her hand.

Talking about everything.

Now that everything has also come to an end and he doesn't know what to talk anymore.

But he still continues.

And doesn't let his hope waver even by a bit.

He usually sleeps on the couch if he stays, but today he doesn't want to leave her side

So, he falls asleep by her side.

.

Morning rays falls into the white room through the white curtains.

He stirs in his sleep when he feels something soft on his cheek.

It brushes again, and he slowly opens his eyes and tries to adjust his focus and jolts up immediately.

The eyes....

he has longed for has opened up and are looking at him....

The smile....

he's been dying to see, has come back to its place....

Ji Eun....

She has woken up...

He doesn't realize , for how long his eyes have been leaking.

He's not in his right mind....

She lifts up her IV tubed hand to wipe off his tears , bringing him back to senses.
