Someone was gently poking her cheek. She opened her eyes to see that she fell asleep on Ash's shoulder.

"It's morning," he said softly. They were inside KJ's room at the hospital. KJ had been in coma for a month and only one day is left before the doctors will proceed to cut off his life support.

"There's just one day left," Mirae whispered. Ash wrapped his arm around her shoulders. 

"Keep faith in him," he assured her. "I know KJ better than anyone else. He'll come out of it."

But Mirae had her doubts. Only sheer luck or an extremely well timed miracle can bring him out of his vegetative state. She glanced at KJ's motionless form.
