Help Me Fix My Broken Wings

Strawberry flavored suckers

It's been a week ever since that incident happened. It was just another normal day for Seunghyun. As usual he was puffing cigarettes at that hospital rooftop. That rooftop where she met her. She flicked the butt of the cigarette aside, threw a lollipop in his mouth and started going down through the emergency exit. This was his daily exercise, going down the stairs makes him fit. He couldn't afford school let alone affording gym for goodness sake.  He stopped at the next floor reading 25.

"Huh. It's her floor. I arrived fast" He looked at his clock and saw the time 4:32pm, he read. "Oh, Just on time." 4:32pm. That was the time she gone wild on the rooftop, that was the time that she doesn't have anyone with at her presidential suite. Right, it's been a week since the incident, and it's also been a week since he visits her at 4:32pm until the sun sets, until that bastard Kwon Jiyong arrives. He doesn't know why, but he just want to be close with her. To help her.

He stepped in the hospital room and saw her lying down on her bed as usual, when her eyes met his, she immediately turned her back towards him. She always wanted him out of this room, but she is given continuous sedatives so that she will remain calm and her bipolar attitude won't eat him alive again just like what she did last week. He finally sat in the long leather sofa beside the huge bed. He opened the drawer and saw 7 lollipop sticks, and He gently placed the 8th one. 

"Hey, It's strawberry flavored this time. It's my favorite. What's yours?"

"..." A reply of silence and her back still faced him

"How was your day? You know mine is a little hectic. I stole a wallet from a man wearing a suit, apparently he has bodyguards with him. I fucking ran around Cheongdam like crazy for Christ's sake. Hahaha. But that wallet is so fat, I bought myself a delicious meal and loads of cigs as a reward." He said animatedly.

"..." Still silence

"And you know I saw some old friends. I smoke yeah, but those bastards smoke something stronger than cigarettes that's why I decided to go solo. I mean, cigarettes are hard to maintain without money what more drugs." He chuckled lightly.

"Why don't you stop smoking?" She said with a voice of an ant.

His eyes popped open. For the whole week it was the first time he heard her speak. It was always like the previous scenario, Seunghyun blabbing and all he gets is silence and her back as a reply. Now, she spoke.

"You want me to quit smoking?" He said in a normal tone. But his insides was getting ripped apart because he was so happy, he was not sure why though, but he felt so happy hearing her voice, not the voice that screamed her lungs out saying 'don't touch me', but her voice this time was like music to his ears, so soothing.

"Yes." She replied again with the same small voice he just heard.

"Okay, I'll try." What is he saying? Quitting smoking? 

"Good then." She just said plainly.

And just like that their time together past by and the sun started to set.

"Gotta go. Your boyfriend will be here in a while." He pat her back and hurriedly went to the door

"Strawberry. Strawberry also is my favorite" She said. Seunghyun looked back with a disbelief expression and shrugged it off. He went back to emergency exit to continue his stairs exercise wearing a silly smile he haven't seen for a while.
