Piles of Regrets
Kyuhyun has been skipping work for three days while he’s waiting for Han Sera waking up from her coma. He’s so furious that he can’t even sleep at night. How could she, how could she be so reckless to leave her room. She knew how dangerous her situation is and she acted like she didn’t give a about it.
The doctor had explained to him how they found her. She was on the ground floor when a nurse from a different station noticed a patient lying on the floor soaking wet while grabbing her chest, gasping for air. The nurse brought her to the emergency room, and later told that she’s the patient from the cardiology department.
According to her doctor, Han Sera crashed because she’s pushing herself too far, she isn’t supposed to walk too far, because walking can increase the cardio activity—something she should avoid at the time being.
“We injected morphine straight into her heart and some other fluid to lower her heart beat. If it went on longer than that, her heart would give up and we’d lost her.” Doctor Song explained the emergency procedure to Kyuhyun. But he doesn’t care about the steps they took to save her, he didn’t understand those medical stuff anyway.
“But how? How could she be on the ground floor? She’s supposed to be on your watch!” He was too angry to speak respectfully to her doctor.
Doctor Song bows apologetically towards him, “It was our fault, it won’t happen again in the future.”
Kyuhyun blames himself for not being with her at the time, she must be lonely and wanted to get some air so she decided to walk by herself. He usually takes Sera out of her room on the wheelchair to the cafeteria—as long as the food is still heathy she’s allowed to eat it. That day Kyuhyun really had to meet his client at the court and it was impossible for him to ditch the hearing.
He didn’t thought Sera would rebel and push herself over her limit.
But then again, this is Han Sera, the girl has nothing to fear of and dying definitely doesn’t change her attitude towards challenge.
“Cho Kyuhyun-ssi, she’s finally awake. The critical moment has passed” Doctor Song informs him about the newest condition. “However, In the meantime, please don’t question her about anything. Let her get some rest.”
“Thank you, doctor. I’ll be going then.”
Instead of going into the CICU, Kyuhyun left the hospital and goes to his house instead. He’s too emotional to see Sera now, he’s too angry—with her and himself, and he knows how bad his reaction will be once he sees her. Knowing she survived the heart attack was enough for him, he’ll see her tomorrow when he’s less furious and has gotten enough sleep.

The moment Kyuhyun walks into her room, Sera knows how angry he is with her. His eagle eyes pierce her with the scariest look she hasn’t seen in a while. From what she heard, she’s been unconscious for three days and he’s been waiting for her to wake up for that amount of time also. Yet, he only shows up to see her the next day. This is classic Kyu, he hides his anger first before he shows up in front of her to pretend nothing has happened.
He takes his seat beside her and pretends to look around uncomfortably. She’s still in an intense care, so he has to wear a green ICU gown and a mask to visit her. Sera’s not wearing an oxygen mask the way she was the first time, instead a breathing tube inserted straight into her nose.
“Kyu. Mian.” She whispers softly.
He feels like throwing her his tantrum but keep himself at peace. “What for?”
“Made you worry.”
“I didn’t have lunch with you for a day and this is how you reacted?” He tries his best to hide his rage and instead. He looks at her in the eyes. He chose to be mad at her silently, he knows Sera understand his gaze at the moment, she knows how angry he is.
Sera watched him closely thinking how blessed she is at the moment for having him beside her. Even if he’s very mad at her, he’s still here to cheer her up the next day.
“Ya! Don’t cry! I’m not coming here to see you cry Han Sera.” Kyuhyun notices tears fall down from her face. “Arraseo, I’m done being mad at you. I forgive you, stop crying now.” He pats Sera’s head trying to calm her down. Her heart monitor’s beeping faster if she cries and that’s the last thing he needs to hear.
Sera’s not crying because of him, she’s crying because she rem
