"he's awake now," changgu told me as he exited the room.

         it was just changgu and i; all the others left once the doctor said that you were going to be okay.

         "you can go in, sol."

          you were staring at the ceiling, not bothered by the fact that someone just entered the room. it's like you didn't care at all.

         I stood there in silence, waiting for you to notice me. but that didn't happen. I knew that you weren't going to spare me a glance, but I still waited for it.

         at one point, my patience vanished, and I found myself whispering:

          "the earth won't stop spinning yet, hyojong... snap out of it."

         I didn't know if you heard me or not, but when I got no response, I assumed that you didn't. with that, I quietly left the room.
