"So that's what you were hiding?" Yeosang asks Seonghwa. "Th-that was serious, Hwa."

"Now I feel like it's my fault that San's in that hospital bed, Yeo! If I would've said something before-"

"Please don't start blaming yourself." Yeosang shakes his head and takes his hand. "I have no idea how I would've reacted if I was in your place. I'm sure you must've been so shocked... especially since it's something your mom did. I'm sure it took you a while to really believe it was true."

"Y-yeah, I know. But if I wouldn't have called San to tell him Wooyoung was in danger, he wouldn't have gotten hurt!"

"Yeah, but then Wooyoung would be the one in the hospital bed. Regardless of whether you would've called San or not, one of them would be hurt right now, Hwa. Please don't blame yourself, because I'm sure San wouldn't regret saving Wooyoung's life. He loves him so much." Yeosang tries to stay calm. "And he'll get better."

Yeosang tries to stay positive even though he really wants to scream and cry. He wants to stay positive, but it's hard to.

"You're dating a murderer's son." Seonghwa looks down as tears roll down his cheeks. "My mom took my grandma's life from her. I don't deserve to be happy." He sobs.

"Hwa, don't look at it that way." Yeosang cups his face. "You're not a murderer's son, you're still the Park Seonghwa I know... And just because your mom did that, doesn't mean it's your fault. You didn't do it. It was her."

"I seriously understand you if you decided to break up with me. What my mom did was terrible and I'm sure you must be thinking the worst of me."

"Please stop." Yeosang frowns. "What your mom did has nothing to do with you."

Tears roll down Wooyoung's cheeks when he sees San laying down on the hospital bed, looking lifeless. He's been in a coma for two weeks now, but Wooyoung won't lose hope.

San is always so positive, so he'll stay positive as well. "Sannie, I know you'll wake up." Wooyoung tells him and forces a smile. "My hero can't just go like this, don't you think? I have to give you something in return." He takes San's hand and looks down at it. "You saved me two times, San."

"Without knowing it, I've had an angel next to me all this time." He can't help but cry, but he immediately wipes the tears away. "I-I'm not sure why you went to my house that day, but thank you Sannie. Without knowing it, you saved my life."

Twelve year old San had liked Wooyoung for a while now. They had just started to talk and he had just given him lots of roses today, but he somehow felt like they weren't enough.

San wanted to give him the roses because he knew his grandma liked them, but also because he wanted to tell Wooyoung how he felt.

He didn't get the courage to tell him at school, though.

He had invited Yunho over for dinner today, but decided to call him saying he'd be getting home a little late since he had to do something important.

San took a rose from his garden and took a deep breath before starting to walk towards Wooyoung's house. He knows he's still too young to date, but he really likes Wooyoung.

San knows where he lives since he walked him home one day.  "So how should I tell him?" He sighs as he continues walking. "I like you." He practices. "I like you." He practices even more. "Should I just blurt it out?"

Once he gets to Wooyoung's house, he stands by the door gate and takes a few deep breaths. "Let me just get this over with. Just get it over with, San." He looks up at the window and sees a lady, who he assumes is Wooyoung's mother.

She's standing by the window, but quickly walks away when she sees San, and he just stands there, confused.

"I guess his mom is home." He sighs. "I'll just confess tomorrow then... yeah, tomorrow." He nods. "I'll have all night to practice my confession."

He walks away, not knowing he just saved Wooyoung's life.

"San... school was so much better when you went with me." Wooyoung frowns. "It's sooo boring now. Please wake up so we can be troublemakers together." He takes his hand and kisses it.

"It's been a month since you're here and so much has happened." He sighs. "Seonghwa and Yeosang broke up. Now Seonghwa's the one blaming himself for everything his mom did... And he's thinking of moving away. He's been living in my house since everything happened, but he told me it's better if he moves somewhere else."

"Yeosang is really heart broken and I tried to convince Seonghwa to stay, but he just feels so bad about everything... So please wake up. Come on and wake up so we can get them back together. Yeosang's your son, don't you remember?" Wooyoung smiles and looks down at San's hand.

"Please wake up, my hero... Because out of everyone, I'd be the one to feel the most guilty." He cries.
