"She's awake." I heard people mutter as I opened my eyes. I was greeted by the sun that was piercing through the window, and I instantly shut my eyes, again. At the moment, light seemed so foreign to me.

"Go close the blinds, Luhan." I heard Mayli's voice say, and then I heard footsteps walking off, followed by the sound of blinds closing. I tried opening my eyes, and just when I opened my eyes, I saw that everyone was there. My three best friends, or in this case, my two best friends and a guy who probably hates me, followed by my two grandparents.

"Minhee, do you remember us?" Luhan said, waving his hands in front of my face.

"Idiot, she doesn't have amnesia. She just fainted." Yixing muttered under his breath.

"Why don't you just keep your mouth shut because you were part of the reason w-"

"Luhan!" Mayli stopped him before he could continue. 

"Deserves it." Luhan snarled.

"Enough, boys." my grandmother stepped in as she put a hand on Luhan's chest. "Enough."

"The doctor said that we shouldn't all be in here at once, it could overwhelm her too much and make her faint, again." my grandmother explained. 

I just stared blankly at the scene before me. Luhan looked hella pissed off, same goes to Yixing, Mayli had this concerned look splattered on her face, and as for my grandparents, they looked disappointed.

"Yixing, we'll let you talk to her first." my grandmother said as she exit the room, along with the rest of them.

"Control your words this time, ." Luhan growled before walking out the room, aside him was Mayli, who was trying her best to calm her outraged boyfriend down.

I stared at Yixing, who just eyed me awkwardly. He took a seat beside the hospital bed, and without eye contact, he in his cheeks and looked like he was debating on whether or not he should talk to me. I didn't blame him for not wanting to talk to me, though. If I were in his place, I wouldn't have wanted to talk to me, either.

"Minhee," he started off. I was pretty shocked, hearing him call my name with such delicateness in his voice. After all this, I would've expected him to continue his little rage from the mall. I surely deserved it.

"Yixing." I called back, my voice sounded hoarse, which resulted in me clearing my throat.

"Minhee, I just don't know where to begin." Yixing sighed. He ran his hand through his hair and looked down at his fingers, he played with them and in his cheeks some more.

"Then let me begin," I said. I sat up a little bit, and I started to observe all the chords that were attached to me. Was the incident really that serious? 

I ignored it and began my apology, "Yixing, I am so sorry. I broke a promise, and not just any promise, our promise. I'm sorry for breaking it. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry for not realizing how much pain you were in, hearing me talk about Jongin all the time. I just want you to know that all I want is for you to be happy, and being with me will not make you happy at all, trust me. You have every right to hate me fo-"

"I don't hate you." Yixing immeditely said, which made a smile sneak up onto my face. After hearing him say that, I couldn't help but feel all giddy inside. It was nice, knowing that the person that you thought wanted you dead didn't really hate you that much after all.

"I don't hate you at all, I never could. In fact, I don't even know what I feel towards you, anymore. It's just that you're so different, now. I don't blame you, though. You've been gone for ten years, and ten years is a lot of time. I just wish that I told you about how I felt, you know, before you fell in love with that Jongin guy." Yixing said.

"I'm sorry." I frowned. The giddy feeling was gone.

"I should be the one saying that to you. I shouldn't have said those things to you, because I know how hard it is to confess to someone." Yixing said. I guessed that that someone that he was referring to was me. I couldn't help but feel even worse.

"I want us to keep in touch, okay?" I said. I didn't care, anymore. All that mattered at the moment was if I still had something with Yixing or not, anything, even being just friends and not best friends was good enough for me. 

"Of course." Yixing nodded, giving me a sincere smile. I smiled back. The feeling of smiling was also a foreign thing to me, especially since it's been days since I've last done so.

"Could you tell my grandmother to come in? I want to talk to her." I say, hoping that I didn't ruin the moment. Yixing only nodded his head and got up, going towards the door.
