"GET THE DEFIBRILLATORS READY. 3, 2, 1, GO!"

The machine showed how your heart's pace was. It was awfully getting slower by the minute.

Will Kim Jaekyung make it?

~.~.~.~

While you were having a battle for life, the two boys were having their own battles with the same fear - Of Losing YOU.

'Please don't letanything happen to HER. I might not take it anymore. I wouldn't only put the blame on Ara alone since it concerns me A LOT as well. Instead of being the LOVER I PROMISED TO BE, I gave in to the fear of the problems that would come. I should've been STRONGER. Kim Jaekyung, PLEASE BE STRONG AND FIGHT for YOURSELF and for US.' Eli sat on the floor, seemingly lifeless and drained out of all energy. The boy seemed like a living corpse that was about to lose its other life.

'I guess I wasn't great enough to BE CHOSEN by YOU, Kyung-ah.' Chihoon paced back and forth while chanting prayers for your safety. 'It wasn't meant TO BE THIS WAY. I gave up MY FEELINGS for YOU to be happy with HIM, but he wasn't strong enough TO PROTECT AND STAND BY YOU. He took you for granted, Kyung-ah and I'm sorry if I chose to let go and let THAT MAN watch over you. Don't worry, as soon as you WAKE UP, I'll make sure to MAN UP and stand firmly on my grounds.'

After a few more minutes of anxious and worrisome waiting, the doctor finally got out of the Emergency Room and approached the two. "How is she doctor?" Eli asked with haste. The doctor gave his answer with a sigh, "It's good that she has enough stregth to make it to the hospital though. A couple more minutes if she got delayed from receiving help, it would've needed drastic measures. However, she needs much more rest since the entire moment, she was weak and it must be also because she is depressed with something. If you might need me just call for me in from the nurses' station. Have a good day sirs." He announced before leaving the two to themselves.

"It's good she made it." Chihoon sighed in relief before eyeing Eli with a hard stare. "Why stare like that, huh?" The other male shot back. "If it weren't for your cowardice, this never would've happened. But since Jaekyung's gonna be alright from now on, I'll make sure she won't ever experience such things ever again all because of someone like you." He lowly hissed before leaving off and hading over to the nurses' station.

'All because of a COWARD like ME, huh?' Eli smirked sarcastically at his faint reflection through the glossy walls. 'That's right. Kim Kyoungjae, YOU'RE A DAMN COWARD. You can't even go one way through a decision without regretting your own choice. STUPID.'

A Few More Weeks Later...

"Yah, Kyoungjae, any news yet?" Chihoon entered the room where the two of them made you stay at. "If there were, I wouldn't be in THIS STATE." Eli glumly replied before glancing at your unconscious figure hesitantly. "Tch, youeven
