Seunwo felt his eyes soften when tears rolled down from her eyes. Perhaps this is the first time she had ever cried in front of him.
"Give me a chance to make it right." He said swiping the tears away from her face.
"I - I'm sorry for being like this. I just can't think right now." Leira sighed, looking away from him.
Her eyes glistened as her tears pools in her eyes.
"Then think about me."
"Han-"
"I love you, Leira. I really do and I'm sorry for not proving it." Seunwo said finally with his head low.
Leira felt her breath hitched when he finally said that to her. She felt more tears poured out down to her face.
"I can't stop crying." She said as she leaned closer to him, putting her forehead on his shouder.
He took that chance to hold dear to her, circling his arms around her waist tightly. Missing how she felt in his arms.
"I won't let Kai take you away from me."
"Han Seunwo you idiot." She sniffled. "I'm not a property. He can't just take me away just like that."
"I'm sorry." Seunwo said as his voice sounded as whispers.
Leira felt his body fell slightly to her and she staggered back and hit the door.
Physically? Weak. That's Leira but now it fits her beau.
"Are you okay?"
"Sorry.. just a headache."
"Right, a recovering patient." She sighed and guided him to the bedroom. She put him to bed and stood up.
Somehow a chuckle came out from her mouth as she wiped her wet eyes.
Snap out of it. He's sick. Leira said inwardly.
"Wait here, I'll go get water-"
Leira felt her grab her hand.
"Join me." He said softly.
Leira felt her chest tightened at that. She sat by him and brushed his hair with her fingers.
"Did you even sleep last night?"
"I can't. You didn't make me chamomile tea."
"Seriously?" Leira tap on his forehead.
"How do you expect me to sleep when I know that you were going to leave me?"
".....I won't."
"I won't let you go even if you wanted to."
She breathe out slowly, letting go all the painful feelings.
"I think I could die."
"Then I'll die with you."

"Dr Kim."
"Buzz off."
Kai was making his way to the cafeteria when Elaine had called him.
"How is Seunwo?"
Kai continue walking, ignoring the girl who was having a hard time catching up to him since he's 70% legs until she pulled his arm back.
"I said buzz off." He said coldly sending shivers to her spine and left her stood frozen. He halted and turned back to her with a poker face.
"If you're wondering about him, I don't think he would break up with Lei. Sucks huh?"
"What's so hard to seduce that woman?! I might have underestimated you." Elaine spat. Kai let out dark chuckle.
"If you're so confident then why does he never looked you way? Men could easily be swayed but by the looks of it, you're not doing a very good job in seducing him either. "

Lei stirred in her sleep as she heard her phone rang.
She sighed as it kept ringing. Reluctantly pushing herself up, she squinted her eyes trying to remember where she put her phone.
"Oh right." She slipped her hand into her pocket and took it out, answered the call right away.
"What?"
"Are you sleeping?" Hwiyun asked.
"Yes. You are now talking to sleeping Leira." She deadpanned.
"Its movie night."
"Oh."
"You're coming? Dohyon is making carbonara and some grilled meat."
"Be there in 10." Leira said and hopped down the bed, going inside the bathroom.
She paused when she saw Seunwo had just got out of shower with his towel on.
"Finally awake? You slept through the day." He said walking out of the bathroom while drying his hair.
"Wow boyfriend, you work out?" She asked and went to wash her face.
"From time to time, yeah."
He went to the closet to wear his usual comfortable clothes and sat on the bed.
He chuckled looking at her half asleep self. She had her eyes closed while pulling her hair up to a ponytail, exposing her neck.
"Oh!" She suddenly said opening her eyes, getting awake. He raised his eyebrows at her smiling, finding her cute.
"Its movie night."
"Oh."
"Exactly. But Dohyon is cooking and I really want to go."
"Then go?" Seunwo said tilting his head, not getting her point.
She bit her lip and walked to him.
"I.. also want to be here."
The latter broke into a wide grin making Leira squealed inside and threw herself on him.
"I'm sorry for doubting you." She murmured, hugging him tightly as they fell on the bed to which he gladly accepts with open arms.
"It's just that I-"
"No, you have every right to feel that way. I'm the one who messed up." Seunwo said cutting her off.
"I messed up too."
"I guess we both are messed up." He chuckled making Leira giggled and pushed herself up to see him.
"I miss you, doc."
Seunwo turned them over, trapping her below him.
"I missed you too, Kim Leira."

"She's not coming, is she?"
"I don't know." Hwiyun said uncaringly and continue eating. Chae made a face at him and turned to the other guy.
"Does this mean I get her share?"
"No."
"Aw why not? I have a child to feed!" Chae said exasperatedly.
"What child, you?" Dohyon chuckled.
"This kid." She pointed at Hwiyun.
"Ya, she's my mom." He nodded and took another bite of the grilled steak. He looked at his phone when it vibrates.
"Oh Lara Croft texted."
"What's her excuse?" Chae folded her arms to her chest. Dohyon just continue putting the leftovers in a tupperware.
"Can't go. Seunwo happened. wink face wink face."
"She did not just say that." Chae laughed slapping his shoulder. Dohyon shook his head amused.
"Not kidding." Hwiyun showed his phone to her. She laughed even more.
"Oh wait she sended another text."
"What now?" Dohyon said sitting beside him on the bean bag.
"Okay jk. He's still sick, I'm taking care of him like a good girlfriend. Tell Chae to stop laughing. " Hwiyun read it out loud making Dohyon snort.
"See Chae, she knows you too well."
