"Hey, you're awake..."

  "Junhyung! You're here! Doojoon managed to save you!" Yoseob's eyes widened in shock, relief rushing through his body as he reached out to Junhyung's face and it gently.    "Yoseob ah, remember when I said goodbye to you the day when Doojoon caught us while you were having a physiotherapy session?" Junhyung asked, his eyes gazing deeply and seriously into Yoseob's pair.    "Yeah...what about it?"   "Remember me saying that the next time I see you, you best gotta be running to me with your legs fully recovered?"   Yoseob furrowed his brows, still unsure of where this conversation is leading to, "yeah I do..."    "I take that back alright? You have got to run and walk again even without seeing me."    "What do you mean by that? Why do you make it sound like I won't be able to see you again? What's going on? Is Doojoon going to arrest you? Are you going to run away into hiding again? Don't! I'll persuade Doojoon that you're in need of protection from Dragon's enemies!" Fear crept up to Yoseob as his fingers that were on Junhyung's face started trembling. He noted that Junhyung's face was as cold as death and he reached his other hand out to cup his face so as to provide some warmth to him.    Junhyung smiled sadly as tears started clouding his eyes once again, "little one, promise me that even without me, you're able to get back up and live Life happily. Promise me that for me, you would continue to be the happy, kind and carefree Yoseob that everyone loves."     Shaking his head like a child, Yoseob released his hold on Junhyung's face and moved to have a firm grip on Junhyung's shoulders. The fear that coursed through his veins previously have surged through him in a larger and more intensive cycle of waves now. He didn't understand why Junhyung was speaking to him as if he was leaving forever. Junhyung was right in front of Yoseob and that meant that everything was fine. They were both away from danger. They were both safe from Dragon's enemies. They were both together.    "I will not promise you all that! How could I? Do you even know how much pain I was in when you left the hospice? Do you know how it felt to be pinning for someone you love, unsure of whether he is safe, whether he is well? Do you know how everyday without you felt like a long and torturous year? Do you know how it is like to be filled with so much anxiety, worries, sadness, desperation, frustration, exasperation and hopelessness?!"    Hot tears were rushing down Yoseob's face as he raised his voice with every word he sobbed out. He was absolutely confused by how Junhyung was speaking about leaving so calmly. He was absolutely devastated by how Junhyung actually was planning to leave him. He was absolutely desperate to let Junhyung know of how much he loved him and how he did not want Junhyung to leave at all.    Junhyung gently held onto Yoseob's hands that were now of a death grip on Junhyung's shoulder, slowly guiding them down to Yoseob's lap. Without releasing his hold, Junhyung's eyes met Yoseob's with so much sincerity and love that confused Yoseob even more on why Junhyung wanted to leave him.    "I know, little one, I know. And that's why I have to make you promise me. When I left the hospice, I felt like my insides were being torn apart. Everyday, I felt incomplete because a large part of me, which is you, is not by my side. Every day, I felt like I'm losing my sanity as I worry for your safety. I would wonder if any of Dragon's members or enemies know about you and if they would search for you and cause harm to you. Every day, I felt like I'm falling into a deeper and darker hole as I could only think about how I missed your beautiful laughter, your mesmerizing eyes, your cute nose, your soft hair and the way you look at me, the way your eyes sparkle for me. Baby I love you, so much just as you do for me. And because I love you so much, I have got to leave. But I can't leave if I'm worrying about you constantly, so promise me little one. Promise me that you will take care of yourself. That you will continue being yourself. That you will remember my love in a happy manner. Please little one, promise me."   Junhyung's words had fallen into a whisper at the end of it and his hold around Yoseob's hands had significantly tightened as he waited for Yoseob's answer. Tears were also streaming down his face as even if he's the one initiating it, he is the last person who wants this separation.    "I won't promise you that. You have to come back to me." Yoseob looked into Junhyung's indignantly, his eyes shining with determination. Slowly, Junhyung released his hands, pecked his forehead lightly and stood up and Yoseob was all flustered and anxious again.    "I've gotta go, it's time. Take care..."   "No, wait! Why? Stop right there! We are not done yet! Stop!"    Junhyung kept walking and all Yoseob could see was his back view getting smaller and smaller. He tried to lift himself up from the bed and to run after Junhyung. Pushing himself up with all his strength, he stood up but his legs were too weak for any fast walking, much less running. And so he crashed to the ground, tears rushing down the sides of his face as he shouted for Junhyung desperately to return.    "Yoseob! Yoseob!! Wake up!!"   Squinting at the bright lights, Yoseob slowly lifted his eyelids and found himself in Doojoon's embrace. Scanning around the room, he noticed Nurse Kim and an unknown man standing at the side, their faces evidently displaying great concern.    "Doojoon ah, stop him from leaving! Junhyung just left! Stop him!" Yoseob wailed as he grabbed and shook Doojoon's arms vigorously.    Doojoon's eyebrows furrowed and his eyes narrowed, worry clouding over his face. "Yoseob, I think you've had a really bad dream. You had been in a deep sleep since last night when I brought you in. We were all by your side ever since and Junhyung... He was never here."    It took a good five minutes for Yoseob to absorb Doojoon's words and to make sense of the whole situation and for Yoseob's heart to stop racing and for him to calm down. So... It was all just a dream. A very bad dream. But why then... Why had it seem so real?    Seeing that Yoseob had calmed down significantly, Doojoon lifted the small male back up onto the bed and took a wet cloth to wipe the tear stained face.    "Who are you?"    Yoseob asked as he stared at the unknown man curiously. He was tall with broad shoulders and a handsome face. His dressing was pretty formal and based on the aura he is exuding, Yoseob knew he was not a simple man.    "Hi, nice to meet you. Although I wished our first meeting would not be of this type of situation.. Anyway, my name is Dongwoon. I'm sure Junhyung hyung had mentioned about me to you."    Yoseob nodded his head as his eyes darted to Doojoon nervously, worries for Dongwoon overwhelming him suddenly. He knew Dongwoon was Junhyung's trusted friend and was associated to Dragon. Therefore, he was worried that Doojoon might go all 'crazy police' again and arrest Dongwoon.    Doojoon gave a small smile and patted Yoseob's head reassuringly, "many things have been settled while you were sleeping. Dragon is now working with the police to bring down Shadow, the gang that took Junhyung."    Yoseob's face was still contorted with confusion as he tried to make sense of the whole situation. From what he remembered, Doojoon was this highly dedicated policeman who kept harping on capturing Junhyung and bringing down Dragon. Therefore, he is highly affronted to see Dongwoon and Doojoon being in the same room, seemingly on friendly terms.    Dongwoon stepped forward, explaining the situation to Yoseob.    "Hyung contacted me to head down to the club to save you too in case Doojoon wasn't able to. At that point of time, I actually already have the will. Woojin, the man who went to your office
