"Sooyoung, I want to see my husband. Please bring me to him," Baekhyun cries, holding Sooyoung's hands, clasping it together, and gripping it with his shaking hands. "Sooyoung, I don't know how to say this but my husband's been missing for two years already. Please, bring me to him."

It's now or never. Baekhyun thought of not telling his friends about this yet. All he wanted to do right now is just to see his husband. That's all. And later, he'll tell everyone about it and he hopes whatever plan they will come at, they will be able to take back Chanyeol on his arms once again. Two years of living without Chanyeol on his side was enough, it's time to take back what's his. It's time to take Chanyeol away from the perpetrator who took Park's family happiness away from them.

"Baekhyun. . ." Sooyoung trailed off. Sure, she wanted to help Baekhyun but the protocol sent to them was that: no one's allowed to visit Chanyeol unless it was the one who admitted him at Gukil the one will pay him a visit. Relatives are not allowed also. "It's not that easy, Baekhyun. I might lose my job. I might be charged of a case if we will disobey the protocol given to us."

Baekhyun held her hands even tighter, he wasn't aware that there were droplets of tears falling from his eyes. He just kept on shaking Sooyoung while mumbling assurances that he will help her when that moment comes. "If you're worrying about your job, I can give you a nice position in the company I'm working at. I'm the Senior VP of Jung Corporation. Do you want to be a head of any department? Or do you want to be transferred on a more trusted hospital? I can refer you to my client who happened to be a Neurosurgeon. Sooyoung, you don't have to worry about the charges they may charge you, the money you have to pay them. I'm willing to help you, just help me too. We will find the best lawyer for you if that worries you. I'm going to help you whether it will take me a lot. I have connections, just help me, Sooyoung. I'm begging you."

What Baekhyun did shocked Sooyoung the most. But people passing by their direction were squealing, thinking that Baekhyun's proposing to Sooyoung. Funny because that's complete opposite of what's happening right now. Sooyoung tried mustering all her strength to be able to pull Baekhyun up when he fell on his knees but Baekhyun was heavy for her to handle.

"Sooyoung. . . Please. . ." Baekhyun solicited once again.

"Fine, Baekhyun. But we have to be careful and this has to be done quickly, okay?"

"Sooyoung-ie!" If Sooyoung and Baekhyun's heart could jump out of their chest, it would've been scattered on the floor right now. Sooyoung mumbled to Baekhyun to keep himself calm and don't be too obvious that he was not a trainee nor an employee of Gukil.

"Dr. Lee!" Sooyoung faked a smile, hiding Baekhyun from Dr. Lee's vision since she's way taller than Baekhyun. "How's your day? Did you finished your operation already?"

The said Dr. Lee nodded as a response, trying to have a sight of the person behind one of his assistant doctors in Gukil. "Who were you with? Is he a new employee or a trainee?"

"A-ah!" Sooyoung startled, she then pulled Baekhyun. Good thing he was already wearing her extra hospital gown and masks with him. "T-this is Hyun! Yes! Hyun! He's the new intern here!"

"Really? He must be the new intern they were talking about," Dr. Lee extended his hand towards Baekhyun. "I'm Lee Dong Han, the resident Neurosurgeon here. I hope you'll have a nice internship here, Hyun-ah."

"T-thanks, Dr. Lee."

"Where were you two going?"

"I'm going to take rounds for the patients in SVIP area."

"Okay. But you can't check on the patient inside room number 4 yet. He still have visitors," upon mentioning the said room number, Baekhyun's eyes were extracted to its most extent. Sooyoung told him a while ago that Chanyeol's room is SVIP4. He wanted to rush himself already just to see the perpetrator behind this but Sooyoung was quick to grip his arm tightly. She must be expecting that Baekhyun will be doing that since he's been keen on finding the person who took away his husband from them.

"O-okay! What time will Mr. Park's visitor will be going out?"

Dr. Lee motioned his head to where the wall clock was posted. "In no time now, I guess."

And that made Sooyoung panic inside. If the person who admitted Chanyeol was there, he can't see Baekhyun and vice versa. "Okay! Bye, Dr. Lee! We'll be doing rounds now!"

Baekhyun and Sooyoung were both panting when the reached her room in the back part of the said hospital. Good thing Sooyoung's roommate was on duty right now so it was not too much of a burden sneaking Baekhyun inside their dormitory. She sighed in exasperation the moment she locked the door of their room. Slumping down on the soft mattress, Sooyoung took the mask on her face away and faced Baekhyun.

"Don't be impulsive, Baekhyun. It will be doom's day for us."

Baekhyun nodded in accord. "I'm so sorry, Sooyoung. It will never happen again."

"I understand," Sooyoung reached for Baekhyun's hands and held it firmly but gently while wearing her comforting smile. "I understand you missed Chanyeol that much. But let's be careful, okay? Step by step, Baekhyun. We don't have to rush things that much since based on his records, Chanyeol will stay here for longer period of time because his condition isn't getting better anytime."

Worry is now plastered on his face. He doesn't know if hearing his husband's worsening condition is something to be happy about or he will feel bad upon hearing it. Chanyeol's weakening condition means he needed to stay for a longer period of time since he needed to undergo some examinations and treatments but that also means Baekhyun should bear the longing moment he's feeling in a longer period of time, too. He has to settle in this kind of scenario: sneaking just to have a glimpse of his unconscious husband.

"C-can you tell me how does he looks like right now?"

"Don't you want to see it yourself?"

"I don't think I'm that ready so I wanted to have a hint on how he looks like right now. Is he fine or what?"

Sooyoung stood up, placing her mask again on her face, readying to leave in a few. "Chanyeol's not fine but he's not that looking bad also. Maybe what he looks like right now is just appropriate for a person who's been sleeping for two years already and someone who's just depending his life on a bag of dextrose everyday."

"Come on. We better hurry up. We don't have all the time to stand up here, Baekhyun," Sooyoung instructed because when she entered SVIP4, Baekhyun didn't followed. Instead, he stayed glued on his position. "I heard the guards were on break for one hour. If you want to talk to him, then go. I'll watch. Maybe having you here will be a good help too."

Albeit that his heart was beating erratically, Baekhyun gathered all his strength and stepped inside the spacious SVIP room they say. His gaze first landed on the person silently sleeping on the huge bed in this room. His heart was beating normally, he's breathing, his chest kept on going up and down, but the thing that hurts Baekhyun the most? Is the fact that Chanyeol looked skinnier right now. It was obvious that his husband lost a big amount of kilograms on his weight judging on how his bones were being molded on his cheeks. It was not that hard to depict that his husband has really lost weight, just by looking at him, he knows it already. Baekhyun, of all people in this world, is the person who knows Chanyeol the most even on the tiniest part of his body.

"C-Chanyeol," his voice broke and he extended his hand in the air albeit that he was still few steps away from the said hospital bed. The moment he arrived in front of his husband, he shed couples of tear while his hands kept on roaming around the peacefully sleeping person in front of him. Baekhyun touched Chanyeol's eyes, then his perfectly sculpted nose, then his lipsㅡthe one he used to love because of its plumpness, is now dry and chapped. Baekhyun cupped Chanyeol's cheek in a gentle manner, trying not to break the fragile man in front of him. "I missed you. I missed you so much. Where have you been?"

While Baekhyun kept on talking to Chanyeol, Sooyoung opted to sit on the vacant chair near the hospital bed. She's not there to watch the breaking scenery, she's there to examine Chanyeol. For the days of examining Chanyeol while the one who admitted him in Gukil talks to him, Chanyeol never reacted. He was just in coma in two years already but it will be a miracle if he will move a little. Frankly speaking, Chanyeol's body may be unconscious right now but he's mind is still working. Sooyoung thought that bringing Baekhyun here will be another chance for her to understand her patient.

"You lost weight," Baekhyun's voice kept on cracking. "I know you're not gonna answer me back but Chanyeol, a single movement from you will be enough to make this unexplainable feeling inside me die. Weren't they giving you the foods you love? Don't worry. I'll tell Sooyoung the foods you love to eat. I'm sure you'll love it, right?" Baekhyun sat on the side of Chanyeol's hospital bed and continued massaging his husband's hands. "Were you taking a bath? Do you want me to give you a bath?"

"I think he hasn't taken his bath yet, Baekhyun," Sooyoung interrupted, though the scenario in front of her was heartbreaking, it's still lovely to watch how Baekhyun kept on insisting Chanyeol to respond on his questions. "There's a basin in the drawer beside you and above that, there's a bottle of water and a clean towel. Go, you can clean him. I'll just watch. Pretend that I'm not here."

Baekhyun nodded, a bit happy that Sooyoung allowed him to do that. Baekhyun started wiping his husband's hands with the wet towel, making sure that even the most hidden part of his hands will still be cleansed. "Did you know that Baekhee's excelling on her school right now? Did you know that Chanhee went to America for two years to study overseas? I'm sure they're doing that because they wanted to make you proud when you come back to us."

Albeit that the scene was really capturing her heart to the point that she wanted to skip it already, Sooyoung stayed still. Whatever she's witnessing right now is a true love. The kind of love that no amount of money can buy. And she's happy that she's be able to help Baekhyun with this. She hopes that in no time soon, Chanyeol will wake up. Because to be honestly speaking? Even though Sooyoung didn't witnessed the journey of these two persons, she's certain that they were each other's happiness.

"Did you know that I missed you so much?" Baekhyun stopped in the middle of wiping his husband's face, he leaned his face on Chanyeol's heaving chest and he heard how his heart pumped faster. "I love you so much, Chanyeol. I can't live anymore without you. Two years is enough. Two years is enough to wake me up that erasing you from our life was the most imbecile decision I've ever made. Two years is enough for that person. It's time for me to fight for our family. If you can't be strong right now, then I'll do that. Just please, get better anytime soon."

It didn't passed Sooyoung and Baekhyun's visions when Chanyeol's forefinger moved.
