You were basically Sieuns only friend. You were the one that made him slowly become soft around you, you were the one that made him smile effortlessly, you were the one he protected loudly but loved silently, and he continued to do so. Until he didn't──more like he couldn't.

You were beat up, sent into a coma, and when he found out. He couldn't think, his body controlled him and he beat every single guy that was involved in beating you to a pulp. Protecting you as loudly as he could.

He was expelled, no other school would accept him, that was except for Eunjang high. Rumors around him spread like wildfire, but he didn't care. He was so..depressed. He never showed it, always bottling up every drop of emotion he had. Only to let them spill out at night when he was alone.

He visited you every day without a fail. Never really going inside your room out of guilt. He texted you about his day everyday and it hurt him knowing you couldn't text back.

He slept so he could see you because he hated to wait so long.

In his second year. He tried new thighs, he somehow got new friends. Seo Juntae that was quiet the scaredy cat, Go Hyuntak, a bit impulsive and Park Humin, a teasing and non-serious guy. But, nothing could capture the sting of being with you.

He was clinging onto hope. But it was slowly crumbling away, fading into nothingness. Only when there was a small part of the hope he was so desperately clinging onto, he got a call from the hospital you were in, he picked up.

His usual emotionless expression turned into something more..emotional. He was surprised, happy, sad and guilty at the same time.

He immediately ran to your hospital as fast as he could, his throat burning and his legs begging for him to stop, but he didn't. Not until he reached you.

You were outside in your wheelchair wearing Sieun jacket. Your legs needed rest after you've been asleep for about a year.

Soon you noticed that.. Familiar presence. You turned your head around only to see Sieun. Looking so confused, he looked like he was about to cry so hard. But he bottled that up.

"..You're awake." He said. He never talked loudly, but he would for you.
