A few days had passed since their talk with Manager, with no sign of change in their Leader. Every night, at least one of the members would stay behind at the hospital while the others went back to the dorm to rest so Onew was never on his own in case he woke up to find himself alone and abandoned. Jonghyun seemed to have gone into shock, for the first two days he wouldn't move from his place by Onew's ward; he didn't eat, he didn't sleep, until eventually Key and Manager had to forcefully drag him to the van and drove him back to the dorm where Key fussed over him. All of the others were very worried for Onew and they had stopped everything else in their lives while they waited for him to wake up. Manager had cleared all their schedules, Taemin and Minho had been given leave from school so if they weren't in the dorm, they were at the hospital.

All of them had broken down into tears at least once by now, including Minho, when the guilt, emotion and tensions got too much and all of them would group together to help each other; they realised that after what Onew went through, none of them would be left alone to suffer: it was the group's duty to protect and comfort their own. Onew used to take care of all that for them, he would take them to their special tree and talk over their problems. He always was patient while he listened and he gave good advice as well as comforting them through whatever was wrong. He was always there for them but they weren't there for him or each other, they knew they had to start defending themselves and not leave everything to their overworked Hyung.

Every single one of them would willingly give up anything in the world for them to reverse time and start again: but this time do it right, but they knew wishing was pointless and they would just have to use the time they had left to fix their mistake. They remembered what Onew used to say:

“It is never too late to ask for forgiveness”.

It was around 8:30am when Onew first showed any sign of life other than the beeping from the heart monitor. Jonghyun had stepped out to get everyone some drinks to wake them up, Minho was sitting on his own in a chair, leaning forwards with his hands clasped together in his lap: silently praying, while Taemin was sitting curled up in Key's lap while he tried to soothe the sweet yet heartbroken maknae. When suddenly Onew's finger twitched ever so slightly and he started to move his head. The others looked up when the beep of his heart monitor increased a little and were shocked when they saw his head move. Quickly the three of them in the room rushed over to the bed and started calling to him, it was now that Jonghyun had returned with steaming drinks in his hands, to see his three dongsaengs crowded round his Hyung's bed. He was about to call over to them to ask what was hap
