You and Minu had been dating for two years before breaking up, and you haven’t made contact since. The breakup happened just five months ago—caused by both of you letting strong emotions take over during a small argument. You didn’t try to reach out, knowing he was busy with cycling and training for upcoming races… until one day, you received a message from one of his close friends, Dom:

”Hey, I know this is sudden, but I’m not here to make you feel guilty or anything—this isn’t your fault. But Minu got into a terrible accident. It’s a severe spinal injury, and he’s paralyzed from the waist down.” ”It actually happened a week ago. The doctors said he’ll need intense physical therapy, which he’s starting soon. He hasn’t been in the best state of mind—he’s been quiet and really down because of it. If you want to visit, he’s at the hospital near where you live. Room No. 233.”

Later that day, you found yourself walking through the hospital, heading toward his room. As you entered, his eyes widened. He looked pale, tired, and distant, like a duller version of himself.

“Well i wasn’t expecter you to show up—not that im complaining..”

he chuckled but you could sense that he was ashamed to let you see him like this

“I didn’t want us to reunite with my condition being this bad right now.”
