....

Yuna came into the interview room because she was told by the police that the culprit behind the massacre that happened to Karina is because of her fan. It took a big responsibility for Yuna herself to be here and face her own fan. He needs a lot of hearing from the younger actress.

"Oh! Hi Yuna!", the man said happily as Yuna took her seat across the room. Despite the man's giggly expression, Yuna expressed none but coldness towards him.

"Hi", she answered shortly before crossing her arms in front of her chest.

"You came because of what I've done, right?", he asked, and Yuna answered none.

"Aren't you proud? I'm the only fan of yours that brave enough to put some sense on Karina! I know you didn't dare to do it since you are a celebrity, but I'm here doing it for--"

"Mister... I think you misunderstood my relationship with Karina", Yuna cuts him and glared sharply through his eyes with a heavy sigh. The man just lifted his eyebrows up in confusion at the actress's words.

"Huh?", the man asked.

"I didn't hate Karina, at all. I'm just jealous because she is more successful than me", Yuna stated and before the man can even reply, she continued talking.

"What you've done to her is so horrible and I myself couldn't even admit that my own fan was the one behind her suffering. I came here today to say to you that I, Shin Yuna, will never, ever, admit you as a fan of mine. I just want to state to you clearly that I didn't hate Karina to the point that I want to kill her or make her suffer. What I want is to be more successful than her with my own effort and you, here...", Yuna sighs heavily before she stands up from her seat and picks up her pouch.

"You've just made me feel so guilty towards her and I owe her a big apology right now", Yuna sigh one last time before slowly taking her step away from the table. But before she leaves, she turns towards the man one last time with a guilty face.

"I really hope you won't do that again, and stop being a fan of mine"

....

A knock on the room's door brings the attention of the people inside. When the door is finally opened, revealing the younger actress with a bouquet of flowers in her hand, the Japanese stylist who was just now sitting right beside the patient's bed shot up from her seat.

"Shin Yuna?", Aeri asked only to get a confused expression from the younger actress.

"H-Hi? Where's Karina?", she asked before giving the flower to Aeri.

"She's out for a schedule but she'll be back in an hour. What are you doing here?", Aeri ask after she placed the flower on the bed stand, right next to Winter's bed. The sudden appearance of the younger actress definitely will be questioned by anyone who sees her right now.

Yuna and Karina are not close at all.

"I'm thinking to meet Karina here, and her wife of course", Yuna said as pointed toward the unconscious Winter.

"For an apology", she continued before hanging her head low. The guilt sure hits Yuna at all costs because all of this happened because of the well-known hatred between her and Karina all along. If she never hates Karina that way, will the older actress suffer? Will Winter be in this state?

"Don't worry, Yuna. Karina never says that it was your fault", Aeri said with a warm smile before slowly coming closer to the younger actress for a pat on her shoulder. When Yuna finally lifted her head up, all she can see is a sincere smile coming from the stylist.

"Thanks for coming, Yuna. I will definitely tell Karina that you were here"

....

Karina ended her schedule for the day, and she drive as fast as she can just to meet her wife at the hospital even tho her body now is kinda smelly from all the acting she had done.

As soon as she parked her car in the hospital lobby, she run towards the elevator with a happy smile on her face. When she arrived at Winter's room like she usually did, she kissed the younger woman on the lips before questioning the existence of the flower beside the bed.

"Who came?", Karina asked as she casually pulled some of her clothes from the bag on the floor. To remind you again, Karina practically lives at the hospital.

"Shin Yuna", Aeri answered only to get a surprise reply from the actress.

"Shin Yuna?"

"Yeah. She came to apologize but you weren't here. So I told her it wasn't her fault in the first place", Aeri answered as her eyes follows every movement of the actress.

"I see. I'll take a shower, Aeri. After that, you can go home!", Karina said as she pushed the shower room's door open.

....

The days are always like that and it keeps going on for five months. Karina living at the hospital. Aeri taking care of Winter while Karina's gone. Karina came back with a smile and a soft peck on Winter's lips. Aeri's going home. Karina sleeps on the couch.

Karina doesn't mind how uncomfortable she is sleeping at the hospital. She didn't even mind sleeping on the floor, as long as she can ensure Winter is fine and she can be with Winter all the time, Karina will be fine.

Winter is also improving after months. Starting from her body full of wires, bruises, and cuts covered here and there, hand in white cement, and electrical support, now the only thing left to support Winter is a heartbeat monitor and an IV drip.

Karina is currently reading a script for her next drama while holding Winter's hand with her, not until suddenly a sudden movement from her wife's fingers freaks her out. She stop reading her script and for a moment, the actress thought it must be just one of her hallucinations for missing Winter too much. But seconds later, when she saw another movement from her wife's hands, Karina shot up from her seat and cupped Winter's face with her hand in shock.

"W-Winter?", she called her but no response.

"Winter, are you... awake?"

The moments Karina saw how Winter's eyes fluttered open, slowly but surely, her long wait was finally over. That eyes slowly moved, looking at Karina that's now in tears with no words. Karina holds her hands with Winter's, and after months of waiting, her wife finally tightens the holds back.

Winter just smiled at her wife, without saying anything. Karina smiled back in reply despite how wet her eyes became.

"Hi Winter...", Karina said.

"I love you...", she continued.

....

Karina brings both her bag and Winter's inside their house and the younger woman followed her right behind. It just feels surreal to be in this house again after being abandoned for two years. Winter flashed a warm smile on her face before turning her attention towards her smile.

"Things happened when you are in coma", Karina said before putting down the bags on the floor in their living room. Karina then reaches out her hands to hold Winter's tightly while looking dearly into Winter's warm eyes.

This feeling. It's really been a while.

Winter saw how their wedding photos were back on the wall. She saw how the dusty house is now all clean and looked lively. All the white clothes she put on the furniture two years ago were now all gone, only covered by warmth and longing.

"Welcome home, Winter", Karina said softly with her smile. It took only seconds for Winter to smile back the same amount as Karina does.

"I'm home"

....

Karina miss this moment when Winter was right next to her on the bed. Even tho Winter was with her during the crucial moments of the threats, it's been two years, almost three years in exact that Karina didn't have this moment with Winter as her wife.

Karina wants it so badly.

"Hey, come here...", Karina said as she circled her arms around Winter's waist before planting her face in Winter's chest. She missed her wife's smells. Winter hugs her back with her gentle touch.

It isn't a harm to hold Winter like this. Winter already long healed from her various broken bones and cuts. All Karina wants now is to reconcile and recollect all the times and moments she missed with Winter.

"Winter", Karina called the younger woman and Winter answered her with a soft hum.

"Can I kiss you?", she asked.

"Do you need permission for that? I'm your wife, Rina. You literally can do anything you want", Winter replied before Karina move her face closer to Winter for a passionate kiss on her lips.

The kiss is tender and passionate. The months of kissing Winter without getting a kiss back drive Karina crazy. The holds on Winter's waist just became tighter like Karina was afraid that Winter will be gone again. The younger woman deepens the kiss just to assure the actress that she ain't going anywhere no more.

Winter moved her hand behind Karina's head as she slowly pull their kiss apart. The moonlight from their bedroom window makes Karina's black hair shines and her face looks so ethereal in Winter's eyes. This closeness between them is long gone and now getting to be this close with her wife again is just great happiness for Winter.

"Rina..." Winter called her this time and Karina was the one who answered her with a soft deep hum.

"Can I touch you?", she asked only receiving tiny scoffs and little laughs from her wife. But Winter was deadly serious with her words and Karina couldn't help but look deep into her eyes full of warmth and a lovely smile.

"I'm your wife, Winter. Do you need permission for that?", Karina smiled one last time before Winter leaned in for a harsh longing kiss on her soft lips.

The kiss is rough that Karina couldn't help but to beg for air. Both of them are longing for each other and no one protests to be harder. As Winter trailed her kisses on Karina's jawline, down to her neck and collarbone, the actress couldn't help but to moan her wife's name between her ragged breath.

Karina's hand is all over Winter's hair as the younger woman explores her touch all over Karina's chest. The music of their moans and ragged breath ringing in their ears, and the long night goes on for their longing affection towards each other's love.

....

Karina woke up first the next day and checked the time. It's past one in the afternoon and Karina's glad that she decided to take the day off knowing that she needs to enjoy her time with Winter to the fullest today.

Her eyes shifted toward the sleeping figure beside her. Winter's perfect face was everything to her. The feline line of her exposed body succeeds to make the actress chuckle at what happened between them last night. She couldn't believe that they'd never done that for more than two years.

Only if she could remember Winter sooner.

The messy hairs on Winter's face were just enough to compliment her beautiful figure. Karina couldn't help but look at her wife's face even longer. A small smile flashed on Karina's face before she tucked the overflow hair behind Winter's ears, but her actions somehow waken up the younger woman as her eyes slowly opened.

"Morning, babe", Karina greeted her with her smile.

Winter smiled back before replying the same words with her hoarse sleepy voice, enough to make Karina chuckle happily before closing the gap between them for a morning hug.

Oh god. She missed this moment so much. Now that she remembers.

"I love you, Winter", Karina said before leaving a soft peck on her wife's forehead. Winter looked up to meet Karina's eyes, and the happiness beneath that eyes is everything beyond Winter's own happiness.

"I love you too", Winter replied before slowly closing her eyes again. Karina hums softly as she pulls her wife into her bare skin for a hug.

"So, what do you want to eat?"
