"Jungwon! Wait- ah!"

Jungwon turned around to see Sera on the floor after falling. He sighed, walking up to her. "Stop running and shouting my name,"

"Blood! Oh my god what to do, it's bleeding!" Sera freaked out.

Jungwon looked at her scratched knee. He face palmed himself. She's so annoying. "It's just a scratch.. Hope you're feeling better soon. Bye." He said and left without helping her.

Sera watched him walking away before smiling. Even though he didn't help her, just his small words made her so happy. She got up and walked back to her classroom.

———

It's been 4 days. There's no sign of Riwon waking up. Jungwon felt exhausted with everything. He's tired of crying, he missed her so much. He wants to hear her voice again. He looked at how pale her skin is.

He got out of the room to get some food when his stomach grumbled. Suddenly he met someone that he would never expect to be in the hospital. "Sera..?"

"Oh.. hi, Jungwon. Why are you here? Ah right.. Your girlfriend is here."

"Yeah," Jungwon walked past her when Sera said, "Hey Jungwon, I'm sorry. You must be uncomfortable right? I didn't even think about your feelings when I confessed to you. I'm selfish.. please forgive me." Sera apologized.

"It's nothing,"

He didn't know why but he ended up walking with her to the hospital cafeteria. Sera just walked beside him, staying quiet. Jungwon sat on the chair and she sat in front of him.

"Why are you here?"

"Uh, me? I'm here for my treatment." Sera replied.

"Treatment?"

"Well, I have leukaemia. It's not that bad!" She laughed but she couldn't hide the sadness in her face.

Jungwon just listened to her without saying anything. He didn't think he should say something. He shouldn't let Sera think she gets a chance to be with him. Just like Junho said, she will get anything she wants. He doesn't think that she will give up for now.

After eating together, they separated. Jungwon went back to Riwon. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Junho in that room. "What are you doing here, alone?" He stared at Junho and that boy just sighed. He probably thinks I'm here to hurt his girlfriend or something.

"I came here with Sunghoon and Maya. They went outside to buy something to eat."

"I see.."

"Guys! Guess who I just met!" Sunghoon entered the room with Maya.

"Who?"

"Hwang Sera! Why is she here? Did she follow Jungwon??"

"No, she's not." Jungwon said.

"How did you know?" Junho looked at him.

"Because I met her too. She's just visiting her relative."

"Ohh," Both Junho and Sunghoon answered, leaving Maya confused.

"Who's Hwang Sera?" She asked and Sunghoon immediately answered, "She confessed to him a few days ago."

"What? Oh my goodness, she has no shame. Confessing to someone who's already in a relationship? Hey Sunghoon, if I catch you flirting with girls or see them confess to you, I will bury you 6 feet underground, understand that?" Maya looked sharply at her boyfriend and he nodded, hand on his chest, "Alright, Ma'am!"

———

"Still no clue? Is it time to give up?"

"No, I won't give up. I will find that guy no matter what." Jungwon said to Junho.

Junho touched his chin before saying, "He stabbed her, his intentions probably to murder her. He knows where you guys went to date so he might stalk you guys all the time. I'm sure he knows Riwon is still alive so there's a chance he will come back to properly end her life. Riwon is in danger, make sure to not always leave her alone. You should hire a bodyguard." He recommended it.

"Okay, I will tell my dad about this."

"By the way, has Hwang Sera already stopped bothering you?"

"I guess so.." She did apologize to me..

They walked out of the classroom to the canteen when they saw Sera running towards them. Sera hid behind Jungwon, clutching his shirt.

"Hey, what are you doing—" Jungwon tried to look at her when she said, "Please help me.. please tell him to go away. I don't want to have anything to do with him anymore, please I beg you.." She looked scared.

"Hwang Sera! Where do you think you're going?!" Heeseung came, looking so mad.

Everyone gathered around to see what's going on. Heeseung made eye contacts with her and she quickly hid herself behind Jungwon.

"You, come here." Heeseung tried to reach her hand when Jungwon blocked him. "What do you think you're doing?"

"Stay out of this. This is between me and her." Heeseung grabbed Jungwon by the collar but Junho pulled Heeseung away from him.

"Bro, she looks so scared of you. If you really love her that much, just let her go and be happy. Maybe you guys weren't meant to be together." Junho said.

"He's right. I'm not going to let you take her. Who knows.. what you gonna do to her. You should be a gentleman." Jungwon continued.

Heeseung looked at Sera and back at Jungwon. He smirked. "You're going to regret this, Hwang Sera." He said but his eyes were on Jungwon. After that, he walked away.

Jungwon turned to look at her. "Are you okay? What happened?"

"Heeseung wanted us to get back but I'm done with him.. and he got mad when I said I don't have any feelings for him."

"Ahh, that dude was obsessed with you? Damn." Junho shook his head.

"Thank you for saving me, Jungwon. I'm so thankful."

"It's nothing. And you should always walk around with friends. Don't let him come near you again."

"But I don't—" Sera was cut off by a phone call.

It's Jungwon's. He answered the call, "Hello?" He went silent. A few seconds later, his expression slowly changed. His lips curved with a smile and tears forming in his eyes. "Thank you so much, doctor! Thank you!" He cried.

He ended the call and turned to Junho. "Let's go to the hospital. Riwon is finally awake! Omg, I'm praying for her to wake up everyday and it's finally happened!" Jungwon hugged Junho even though he's kinda shocked by the sudden hug from someone who ended the friendship first.

Jungwon and Junho grabbed their bag before going to the office to ask permission.

———

"Riwon.." Jungwon opened the door as he tried to catch his breath after running from the parking lot. He couldn't hide his happiness when the girl he loves turned around to look at him as she smiled.

"Jungwon, I miss you." She said, opening her arms.

Jungwon ran to her and hugged her tightly. "Thank God.. I was so scared that I might actually lose you. I was losing my mind when you didn't wake up." He cried in her embrace.

"I'm sorry.. I'm really sorry for scaring you.. It's okay, I'm here now." She patted his back.

"I won't let something like this happen again in the future, I promise."

"It's okay, Jungwon. You should stop blaming yourself. I don't want you to do that." She caressed his face.
