The room was filled with machines and the only noise that has in that room was the beeping of that equipment. And in the middle of the room is the young man with gauzes who is in deep slumber. The door opened a boy who's look devastated entered the room as his eyes landed on the man who was lying in the bed his tears start bursting. 

"L-love please wake up. I miss you so much," he whispered. 

"You're sleeping for too long." a hint of sadness was in his voice. 

"G-gion, love. wake up you already missed many events." He hold the latter's hands a gently kissed it. After that just stared at Gion like the most wonderful thing in the whole world and he didn't even notice that someone entered the room. 

"Tyler." Tyler was snapped back to reality when Neil called him. He just keeps looking at his love which makes him fall from thinking too much.

"Go home for a while Tyler. I will stay here.I'll Gion. Come back when you already have rest." But Tyler shook his head and keep his eyes to his lover.

"I don't want to leave him alone." Neil felt stung inside of him but he manages to smile. To pretend that it just okay.

"Tyler,  please. Go home. You've been staying here for almost 6 months without even going home. I will stay here. And I promise I will take care of him. Gion is my best friend. If he's awake I am sure he will scold you for being stubborn." Tyler can't argue anymore with Neil's words he ends up nodding and stood up but before leaving the room he leave kisses Gion's forehead and bid goodbye to Neil. Neil tears fell as Tyler left. He laughed so coldly while looking at his best friend.

"Gion, p-please. Don't wake up anymore. Let me become happy. Let me own Tyler complete. Stop being selfish and die. Just die. " he whispered while wrapping his hands to best friend acting to choke it.  

"Sleep. Forever," he added. Like Gion wasn't his childhood best friend. He removed his hands to the patient.

"Magiging masaya lang ako pagnawala kana." Neil doesn't know that someone heard what he was saying since from the start. A man sitting in the bed wearing a white long sleeve, white pants, and wearing a poker face while looking to Neil.

"Hey, Shorty. Wake up already. Your best friend was trying to steal your beloved boyfriend." He said but Gion didn't even respond. 

"Tit - tit - tit" He mimics the sound of the machines connected to the little man's body. 

"Yeah, I know." He said like latter is  answered him. He turns his look to Neil that currently crying. 

"I'm sorry, Mr. Neil but Gion isn't dead. His soul is just sleeping inside his body and he will gonna wake up one day. Sorry of ruining your dream." He smiled and laid down beside Gion. No one sees him. No one even hear him. Ever since, Gion confined in that VIP ward he was there but no one even know his existence.

"You are lucky that your soul is intact in your body, little bean. Look at me. I am a mere soul who's lost and stuck in this room. Hays. I'm too handsome to die so early. You?" He looks too close to Gion's face and examine it.

"Wow. You are both. You can be pretty and handsome. If we meet when I'm still alive I probably court you. You definitely my type." he pouted.

"But sadly, I'm just a ghost and I don't even remember anything only my name. Jariell, nice name right? While you? You are still alive. And once you wake up you will never see and heard me." The door opened again and this time two people entered. 

"Neil, Why are you crying?" 

"Flynn? Oliver? Why are you here?" Flynn smiled at Neil as he sat down to the coach not so far to the hospital bed.

"We miss Gion. So we visited him." Oliver answered.

"Where're the others?" Neil asked.

"They're busy. You know we are all graduates. And busy in our own career." After saying that flynn looks to Gion with a sad smile. 

"Gion should graduate with us if that accident does not happen." Oliver immediately holds his boyfriend's shoulder to calm it. He knew that Flynn will cry any moment. 

"They're lying shorty." Jariell said while looking at the three who were talking.

"They're not sad. They're happy seeing you bedridden. I feel it and I saw their soul color it's yellow." he added said. 

"What life do you have? Why do all of your friends hates you?" he can't help but to utter because for 2 years he's been lingering inside the room he witnessed how they fool Gion.

He's too curious about Gion's life. But he can't find answers to those questions in his mind. Jarielle just look to the Gion's soul who is sleeping so deeply and wandering in some dream. 

"You need to wake up as soon as possible. You might lose everything. By the way shorty I didn't see your parents visiting you here. Are you a rebel?" He took a deep sigh because the questions in his mind makes him frustrated.

"Hey, shorty. Aren't you tired of sleeping?" Jariell asked Gion  But like before only beeps of machines answering him. Gion still sleeping peacefully. He's bored and talking to the sleeping patient is his only coping mechanism.

"Shorty! you keep sleeping. Hindi ka naman tatangkad na..." Jariell laughed  after teasing him. His eyes went to the door when it suddenly opened. People entered. It's Tyler with Neil. Tyler walks straight to the hospital bed and kissed Gion's forehead. 

"Goodmorning love," Tyler cheerfully greeted his lover as if the man was awake. That's their routine. Tyler and Neil sat on the couch until their other friends entered too. 

"Nandito nanaman sila. Ang ingay." Jariell hissed. He hates their presences.

"Shorty, ang ingay ng mga kaibigan mo. They should ban—" Jariell didn't finish his sentence when he saw Gion's eyes slowly fluttering. Jariell was too shocked but when he realized a grin appeared in his lips and he jumped in excitement.

"HEY, GION IS AWAKE!" He yelled to Tyler and to the others but no one noticed him. He smacked his head when he realized something.

"Damn! Jariell you are ghost remember?" Jariell was starting to get annoyed seeing little's man friends keep chitchatting without knowing that Gion is already wake up. He tried to touch anything but he can't. Until Gion's eyes slowly opened and it's landed directly to his eyes. 

"D-do you see me?" he asked. But Gion didn't react at first he was just staring at him like he's was stunned from what he is seeing. Jariell tried to look at Gun's soul color but he can't see it.

"H-how? W-why?" he stuttered. They just keep staring at each other.  Until others finally realized that Gion is already awake.

"Gion!"

"Love!" They pushed the button to call for the doctors. Soon enough, doctors and nurses rushed toward him.

"Mr. Allego, what did you feel?" The doctor asked. Gion looked around but his eyes stopped at the man who was looking at him. It's smiling and waving at him. A man wearing all-white clothes. 

"Hey, love? Are you okay?" Gion took a glance at the one who asked him. He tried to recall who's that man and who are the people around him. Especially the man in white but he realized he didn't remember everything.

"W-who are you?" Everyone was shocked and the room went silent. 

"I-i don't remember all of y-you." He added that broke Tyler's heart but on the other side, the other was jumping in joy because of what happened.

"They're happy, Gion. All of your friends are happy that you don't remember anything even your boyfriend." Jariell whispered and he think he is the only one who feel so sad at that moment.
