BAEKHYUN'S POV

"How is she, doc?"

"The surgery is successful. We're going to move her to a private room."

We both breathed out in relief. Thank God, she's fine!

Just after Dr. Kang left, my phone rang. I fished on my pocket to get my phone and found my manager calling.

"Hello?"

"Byun Baekhyun, you're dead." My eyebrows furrowed at the first thing hyung said.

"The fans are now after Saemi. They're tracking her down. You might not know but maybe they're already where—"

"He's here!" I turned to look at the other side of the hallway and saw about 10 girls eyeing me.

Shoot! I forgot to wear my mask.

"—you are and..."

"Omona, he's really here!" My eyes widen in shock and panic when they started walking towards me. Min Hyung looked at me, puzzled, and looked back at the girls coming to our direction.

"Baekhyun!"

"...Mob you."

"Hyung, help.." That was the last thing I said before I ended the call and come up with something to do to avoid them.

Just when they were gonna run after me, I worked my feet and ran to a different direction, unintentionally dragging Min Hyung with me.

"Hyung, why are we running?" He pants as he continues to run. I looked back and checked if they were able to catch us but thank goodness, turning to different halls made them confused to where we went.

"They're after— me.." I said in between breathes.

"What? Didn't you pay your rent or something? Why are they after you?" I almost cracked up at what he said but I composed myself.

"They're our fans. I think they saw Saemi and I in the bus we're in earlier. I forgot to wear my mask so maybe they recognized me." Upon realizing my last sentence, "Well, they did." I added.

Min Hyung facepalmed at my explanation.

"It didn't cross my mind because I was occupied with Saemi storming out when we argued about the remote." He raised a brow at me at the mention of the argument with the remote.

"Seriously?" He deadpanned and I only smiled in guilt.

It's the remote's fault, I swear.

***

As we enter the room Saemi was confined, worried thoughts started running through my head. What if she suddenly forget who I am?

Since when did you become an idiot, Byun Baekhyun? She has a heart disease, not dementia! I mentally scolded myself at my random thoughts and went to stand beside her. She looks so peaceful when she's asleep, very unlikely to the last time I saw her with our argument.

If I wasn't acting like a child earlier, she wouldn't have had an attack. She wouldn't be here, lying on this bed and undergo a surgery we didn't even plan. But if she didn't have an attack, it would take me a longer time to know what she's really dealing with regarding her health.

I held her hand gently, caressing it as I kiss the back of her hand.

THIRD PERSON'S POV

The sight of Baekhyun holding Saemi's hand was a first for Min Hyung. He knew they were 'friends'. But staying in the same house and being together for quite a while would only mean the other one will fall to the other. He knew this was coming.

But the thought of the wedding bells planned out by his step-father and Baekhyun's parents are still lingering.

The next day came and they both stayed beside Saemi who hasn't waken up yet. Dr. Kang informed Mr. Eun of what has to take place and so the man came to the hospital and checked up on her.

Baekhyun was sitting on a chair beside Saemi whilst still holding her hand, ducking down to find sleep while Min Hyung, on the other hand, was sound asleep on the couch at the corner when Mr. Eun entered the room.

Min Hyung was the first one to notice and stood up. He hastily woke up Baekhyun and gave a sharp look at the man who entered the room. Hae Kyeong was surprised to see his stepson.

"Min Hyung, my boy! You've grown up so fast. The last time I saw you were still this small." Hae Kyeong stepped closer to Min Hyung and patted on the air as he tries to measure how tall Min Hyung was when he was six years old.

Min Hyung scoffed at the man and gave him an unbelievable look which caught Baekhyun surprised. There's a growing tension on how Min Hyung pierced Mr. Eun a look.

"Oh please. Stop saying that as if there's no situation at hand in front of us. My sister is on the hospital bed after she had a surgery and you came here without even worrying for her!"

"She's gonna be fine. It's not like it's the first time she's had a surgery." Baekhyun was even more surprised at how Mr. Eun answered. Min Hyung was ready to punch the man on the face as Baekhyun gritted his teeth in annoyance but he pulled the younger back. He didn't want to make a scene beside his fiancée who's still unconscious.

"What a surprise! You're also here, Baekhyun." Baekhyun faked a smile at the old man and bowed respectfully. The exchange of words he heard from Min Hyung and Mr. Eun built questions to his mind as to what was the history in their family and Saemi's heart condition.

"How have you been? Your mother is very excited to your wedding day, son. Once Saemi's discharged, we will continue the preparation—"

"Mr. Eun, let's not talk about that right now. We still have to monitor Saemi's condition. I believe you're in the hospital where your daughter is confined and not in a place where preparations for weddings forced are." Mr. Eun was left dumbfounded at Baekhyun's words. He chuckled awkwardly, not leaving Baekhyun's sarcastic eyes.

"Right."

Baekhyun smiled triumphantly that made Min Hyung smirk at Hae Kyeong's direction.

"I shall take my leave then. Update me on how my daughter's condition is doing." Min Hyung rolled his eyes at Hae Kyeong's mention of 'daughter'.

"You don't really have to bother—" Baekhyun meant it sarcastically but chuckled as Mr. Eun gave him a look.

"...yourself to worry. We will take care of her, sir." He continued.

"Good." And Mr. Eun leaves the room, feeling conscious.
