"Kuya Sejun breakfast namin?" Umakyat si Seb sa kama pinagpipisil braso ng kuya nya.

"Kuya Sejun, malelate na kami sa school gising na!" Sumunod si Sen na pilit binubuka mga mata ng kapatid. Her hands are just too tiny she couldn't open his eyelids.

"Kuya Sejun! Gising na!" Sabay na niyuyugyog ng kambal ang katawan ng kuya nila.

Still there was no response.

"Kuya gising na!" The kids start to cry and they shout as loud as they could. "KUYA SEJUN!!"

"Seb?Sen?" He called them, but he didn't hear his own voice. He tried to open his eyes but the lids are too heavy. Seb, Sen gisingin nyo si kuya please?" he begged in his dream.

He felt helpless, the twins are still shouting his name but he couldn't respond. He tried hard to move his hand but could only lift a finger.

"Sejun? Dre gising ka na?"

"Ken?" He felt Ken's warm hand holding his tightly.

"Sej ok lang wag mong pilitin sarili mo, magpahinga ka muna"

That soothing voice calmed him. His consciousness started to fade again and Sejun slept for another 3 hours.

He slowly opened his eyes, his eyelids are a bit lighter this time. He looked around the unfamiliar room.

"Ken.. Ken" He looked for Ken the moment he opened his eyes. Finally he could hear his own voice. "Ken si S-seb at Sen? Argh!" He suddenly felt painful in the upper back of his body.

"Sir wag po muna kayo masyadong gumalaw, relax lang po tawagin ko po watcher nyo" the ICU nurse said.

"Sejun! Dre!" Yumakap si Ken sa kanya na halos di makapaniwalang gising na sya. "Thank God gising ka na"

"Ken si Seb?si Sen?"

"Nasa bahay iniwan ko muna kina Mama"

"Thank you Ken, p-pasensya ka na"
His whole body still a bit numb and he feels tired of talking.

Ken held his hand tighly. "Magpahinga ka na muna Dre, ang importante gising ka na"

He nodded and fell asleep again.
