"You asked me once if I'd stay with you forever," Woohyun paused and inhaled deeply before looking down at Soomin, "do you remember what I said?"

"Of course," she smiled back. "You said you would follow me wherever I went. That even if I fell off the edge of the world, you would dive after me."

"I will stick to my word," he whispered, caressing her hand.

"You don't have to..." she exhaled as sleep finally consumed her, leaving just the sound of her faint breath and shrill beeps of the machines that kept Woohyun awake every night.
