18 hours left.

Yeonjun doesn't have much time left, and he knows it.

Kiera doesn't, though. And he intends to keep it that way. 

Thinking about it, there's not a single person who knows Yeonjun and his situation besides Kai. He's been suspicious of Kai for a while; a part of Yeonjun thinks that Kai is behind the anonymous texts. 

Yeonjun told him that he wasn't going to follow through with the plan. Looking at her now, he's glad he didn't.

He can't imagine what it would be like, knowing he would have to drag her into his world. It's much safer here, under the fluorescent lights in a hospital. At least when she's here, he knows she isn't hurt. 

Kai presses a card into Yeonjun's hand, not looking at him. Yeonjun tightly curls his fingers around it, closing his eyes as the plastic cuts into his skin. 

"You know what you need to do. If she wakes up, and if she doesn't. The plan is still the same." Kai glances at Yeonjun before continuing. "You knew the risks when you told her the truth. So now you've got to accept the consequences."

Yeonjun stays quiet, not saying a word. He doesn't even move, still in shock that Kiera's unconscious. His brother is dead because of the girl he loved, and he doesn't know where he stands. Surely she'll wake up soon, and they'll figure this out together.

Finally, Yeonjun blinks and clears his throat.

"I won't kill her," he says softly. "It won't happen."

Kai scoffs, looking over at him. Crossing his arms over his chest, Kai tilts his head.

"That's not what I meant. Did you not listen to a word I said earlier? Since you told her everything, she has to get involved now. Unless you want her to die."

Shaking his head slowly, Yeonjun meets Kai's eyes.

"I don't want her to get involved either."

"Then what do you want?" Kai says, irritated. "You hate all of my ideas, so what do you suggest, Choi?"

"I'll disappear from her life," he murmurs, quiet but firm. "Anything you need me to do. I just won't hurt her." Kai considers this silently, nodding as he thinks.

"I'll hold you to that."
