Myungsoo got out of bed and found his slippers without a problem.  He was about to head out of his room to visit a certain someone when he was thrown back by someone who fiercely hugged him.

Myungsoo was in shock; he wasn’t sure if this was a dream or not. 

His hands hung limply by his side and he felt the person let go of him.

“Kim Myungsoo!”

Myungsoo grabbed out and touched Sungjong’s soft face.

“What are you doing here?” Myungsoo asked with a shocked expression. 

“I’m better!”

Myungsoo was afraid he heard wrong. 

“Why aren’t you happy for me?” Sungjong was grabbing Myungsoo’s hands and jumping up and down. 

Myungsoo laughed and started jumping too, “I’m so glad to hear that!”

“I couldn’t have done it without you,” Sungjong stopped jumping and brought Myungsoo’s hand to his heart, “You fixed something in here.  I will never forget how good you were to me, Myungsoo.”

Myungsoo frowned again.  Why did Sungjong sound like he was going away?  But that can’t be.  He just said he was better. 

“I’m going home,” Sungjong sounded happy but he was really sad that he wouldn’t be able to see Myungsoo every day anymore.  It was always a comfort to know that he and Myungsoo were in the same building, even if they couldn’t be in each other’s company.

“You’re leaving?” Myungsoo’s voice was soft and his hands loosened and dropped. 

“But you’re leaving soon too, Myungsoo,” Sungjong said, “You’re going to be out of here in no time!”

“That’s not the point.”

Sungjong was taken aback by Myungsoo’s cold voice.  Myungsoo turned around and reached out for his bed but Sungjong back-hugged him. 

“I’ll come to visit!  I have to check back here every week so my doctors can make sure my tumor isn’t growing back.  I’m not leaving you, Myungsoo.”

Myungsoo leaned back into the hug and touched the arms that were around him.

“So you’re not leaving for good?”

“Hey I promised you I wouldn’t right?  You were there for me.  I’m going to be here for you too!”
