Today is the day she’s been waiting for since she went through the surgery—she’s allowed to get out for a few hours to enjoy a day out of the depressing hospital. Sera looks into her reflection in the bathroom mirror while thinking hard of what outfit to wear that’ll make her look less like a freak that carries “mini backpack” consisting of her LVAD equipment.

She knows how prepared Kyuhyun must be before taking her out. There are several paper works he needs to take care of and the doctors has to make sure he understands several emergency procedures if needed. Considering his effort, Sera also want to make some effort for him. She wants to look nice in front of the man that’s been staying beside her through her hardship.

One of the risk of having the LVAD in her body is the fact that she can’t take proper shower anymore—because it could break the battery—and Sera’s is the kind of girl that maintains her cleanliness, so ‘no-proper-shower’ is a huge annoyance for her. For today, at least she wants to wash her hair and make herself presentable in front of Kyuhyun, not that he protested or anything, she just wants to feel good about herself.

Her first plan is to kneel in front of the sink but turned out she’s too short to reach it, the next effort she does is bowing, this definitely a bad idea because it means her scar is compromise. She’s searching for several other comfortable positions and her frustration has led her to yell at her own reflection. She doesn’t like this, feeling weak and helpless. She can’t even taking care of herself and it bothers her so much the fact that she needs to depend herself in the help of other people.

Kyuhyun heard yelling from the bathroom once he entered Sera’s room and he immediately thought she slipped, so without trying to knock he just slide open the door and finds Sera starring at herself in disgust.

“Ya, are you okay? What happened?” he allows himself to enter the bathroom. He’s relieved that Sera’s okay and fully dressed. Because it’ll be super awkward for him if she’s not.

Sera looks down at her feet, too embarrassed to tell him what bothers her.

“Sera-ya, what happened?”

She shakes her head and takes a step to get out of the bathroom, Kyuhyun takes her arm and turns her body to face him.

“Ya! What’s wrong?”

She bites her lips nervously and wards off his hand. “Nothing.”

“You just yell into the mirror. Is something wrong?”

She takes several deep breaths before she finally confessed, “I HATE THIS. I’M SO EXCITED THAT I’M ALLOWED TO GO OUT TODAY THAT I WANT TO LOOK NICE FOR ONCE IN FRONT OF YOU. BUT I CAN’T DO THAT! I CAN’T EVEN WASH MY GODDAMN HAIR! I JUST WANT TO LOOK PRESENTABLE! I DON’T WANT TO LOOK LIKE A SICK PERSON WHILE WALKING BY YOUR SIDE AND HAVING TO RECEIVE THE LOOK FROM THE PEOPLE ON THE WA…”

“You want to look nice for me?” Kyuhyun’s taken by surprised with her reason, he’s delighted enough that she allowed him to stay by her side, he never thought Sera would try to look good in front of him—mostly because he doesn’t think she needs to, the girl is flawless in his eyes.

She feels he face is burning up from shame so she just put her head down and gets out.

“Let me help you then. We can take a chair, you can sit on the chair and I can wash your hair for you beauty salon style. What do you think?” He doesn’t know why he offered her that but he sincerely wants to do it for her.

“Dweso.”

“Aish, come on, it’ll be fun to do.” He takes her hand and pulls her closer to him.

“No, the point is to impress you without you knowing I’m trying to impress you.” She innocently speaks up her mind.

Kyuhyun cups Sera’s face with both of his hands then he lowers himself so they’re face-to-face. “I’m impressed already, Sera-ya. But if it makes you feel any better, I don’t mind helping you to do that. Remember back in our college days I used to give manicure to you? It’ll be just like that only now I’m washing your hair.”

Sera stares closely to her best friend. She can’t comprehend what kind of loving he has for her, how somebody would go to th
