To Give Hope
Description
Two patients.
Each there for different reasons, but both critically ill.
Confined to a room, with only each other for company.
Would anything happen?
When things look hopeless, remember;
Never to hope Less,
But continue to Hope More.
Foreword
"Jiyong-ah, do you think we'll ever get out?"
He blinked, resisting the urge to turn and look at his companion- his doctor had forbid him to even move his head slightly, and thus, he was stuck. Literally. He wondered how she looked like.
"I have no idea. Soon, I hope?" He voiced out uncertainly.
"Hope," Dara whispered, "is a fragile wish..."
She was being pessimistic. This was unlike her. He scowled, "Forget about all that , just tell me what's happening outside the window."
Their room was medium-sized with nice facilities. That none of them could use. Jiyong snorted mentally. But it had a window. According to Dara, they had a nice room which faced the road outside, and a park. She would look out of the window whenever she could and would then describe to him the scenery outside. It had become their daily routine.
"It's a sunny day today, actually." She started, "At the park, there's a kind-looking old man who's walking his dog. They both look really happy. The trees are swaying gently to the breeze, and the grass looks so green. In the sky, there's a pair of birds flying freely. Just like how I imagine we'll both be, soon," Smiling, Jiyong closed his eyes and relaxed, trying to picture what she was describing. Then he heard a sharp intake of breath.
"What?" He asked immediately, alarmed.
"Nothing," she replied, flustered. He could almost imagine the shy blush that would undoubtedly cover her face. "Oh, just tell me."
"Well, there's a couple. A girl and a boy. Behind a tree, thinking no one's seeing them," Dara giggled, whispering the last few words, "and they're doing naughty stuff."
Jiyong rolled his eyes, "That's stupid."
"But, I- I've never done anything like that before..."
"Do what? Kissing?" He asked, incredulous. "You're like, eighteen, and haven't been kissed?"
Shuffling of sheets could be heard.
"Well..." Dara felt as if her body could've burned a hole through her sheets from her embarrassment.
"Hell, we're the same age, but I had my first kiss when I was sixteen." He said arrogantly and she smiled. "Quite the player, aren't you?"
No one would like me that way anyway, you wouldn't understand... Sighing, she clutched her sheets tighter to herself, feeling insecure.
Misunderstanding her shuffling, she could hear his confident voice say, "Don't worry. When we make it out here, I'll give you your first kiss. I'll do it."
"Really?" Dara grinned shyly.
"Yea."
Ello everybody :D Like I said, this is just a tentative foreword + description,
I plan for it to be a oneshot, but if it's too long, maybe a bit more?
I've changed my minds dudettes, more than one chapter maybe, but less than 10.
Or 9.
Or 8.
xoxo.
