The members and I slept on the couches at the hospital, waiting for a miracle to happen. Mark was stable, but the doctors said the chances of him waking up were slim. If he ever did wake up, there is a huge chance of brain damage. 

“Eunji, you need to eat. I brought you some bread from the cafeteria,” Jaehyun said, handing me the food. All of the members were nodding, agreeing with the fact that I needed to eat. 

I took small bites, trying to regain my appetite. I had almost forgotten it was Christmas morning. 

“Damn, so Mark really hid that from all of us,” Jeno said, shaking his head. 

Jaemin replied, “I know. He still tried to save us and Eunji. Typical Mark.” 

“I want him to wake up, so he can finally clear the air with Eunji,” Taeyong said, quickly finishing his breakfast. 

Jaehyun replied, “He better pay for the pain he caused her. That’s my best friend you’re talking about.” 

“Hey. Can’t we at least wait for him to wake up? It’s not nice to be asking for pay back when he can’t even breathe on his own,” Xiaojun said, shaking his head. 

Before they could continue their conversation, the doctors and nurses rushed into Mark’s room. We all stood up, worrying if Mark was okay. I could hear my heart pounding in my chest.

We all tried to look through the window of his door, but the staff surrounded Mark’s bed. Everyone seemed panicked. 

“, what the hell is happening?!” Taeyong yelled, trying to open the door. 

We heard a beeping sound coming from the monitor, but after a few minutes, the panicked atmosphere died down. The medical staff exited the room. 

“His blood pressure dropped drastically, but we got it under control,” the primary physician said, reassuring us. 

“Will he be okay?” I worriedly asked. 

He nodded, “Yes. We’re hoping that if he continues to be stable, he will eventually wake up since the surgery was overall successful.” 

I nodded as Jaehyun rubbed my arm to comfort me. 

The day passed faster than we expected and just like that, Christmas was coming to an end. 

It couldn’t feel like Christmas without Mark, though. It was supposed to be our first holiday season together, but that wasn’t possible because of his company and the accident. I just wanted for him to wake up so badly so I could tell him how I feel. 

Taeyong was currently the one guarding Mark inside his room. He was sound asleep on the chair next to the bed, so we didn’t want to disturb him for dinner. 

“You okay, pretty?” Jaehyun asked, giving me a soft smile. 

I giggled, “Yes, handsome. I’m okay.” 

“There’s the smile that I missed,” he replied, pinching my cheeks.

“Oh my god! Guys!” we heard Taeyong yell. 

We all rushed to the door, trying to see why Taeyong was awakened all of a sudden.
