Hayoon's POV
"Here." Heeseung suddenly dropped some keys in front of me as I was eating my kimbap.

"What's this?"

"Keys?"

"Yeah, for what?"

"Oh, the apartment. You should move in quickly. You can't treat this room as your house forever. You're actually not allowed, but I made a little bargain with the nurses. Still, you should move in quick."

"Oh yeah. I was planning to do that. I'll get my brother to help me get my stuff."

"Okay- wait, which brother?" Heeseung's eyebrows furrowed.

"Hugo." Heeseung nodded, no longer looking hostile.

"Well, speaking of my brothers-"

"No."

"I haven't even said anything?"

"Well, there's only a few questions that can come out of your mouth. One, do I want to talk to him, and another, will I let him, or them see Jungwon. And the answer is no. Not yet, at least."

Damn it. Can he read minds or something?

"Anyways, I'll go home now. Jungwon-ah, see you." He turned to the vegetable and waved before leaving.

Leaving me alone to the silence that haunted me.

Ni-ki is gaming, probably. Or he's just not here. It is late though, about 10. Maybe he's already at home and sleeping. Heeseung on the other hand has been busy at work.

And me, well, I was at the cafe for almost 12 hours. At least, that's 12 hours of not having to stay in this deafening silence.

I just sat there, munching on my food, trying to distract myself. But it never works. This is sickening. This is tiring. I want to cry and scream, but I can't. And that's the worse feeling ever.

So instead, I was left with the most uncomfortable feeling ever, where my lungs burned and my head spun. A sour feeling rose in my throat, but I swallowed it down along with my kimbap.

After sitting there pathetically for a while, I got up to take the trash out, before I decided to take a little walk around the garden, where there were some doctors probably stressing over some of their patients. I just ignored them and walked around, feeling the cold wind blow against me and ruffling my hair. Before I sat down on a bench where my thoughts kept lingering to Jungwon. At least the air is fresher here.

My eyes found their way to a girl. Or, one of the doctors. She was sitting on the bench with a gloomy look. Something must have happened to the patient. She looked familiar, though I couldn't quite put a pin on it.

She looked up and met my eyes, bowing her head slightly. I smiled at her and just returned to staring out at the night sky. I felt her presence getting nearer.

"Is he still not awake?" She asked. I blinked, shocked that she asked that. Does she know me?

Seeing my expression, she said. "Oh, I'm the resident that checks on your boyfriend. Yang Jungwon, right? That's him. I see you a lot, along with Heeseung and Ni-ki." Oh so that's why she looks to familiar.

"Oh, yeah. Thanks for taking care of him so far."

"No problem. It's my job."

"You know Heeseung and Ni-ki?"

"Yeah. I mean, a bit. I just know their names. We're not that close."

"Ah I see. What's your name?"
