I Can't Drink
Cure For Summertime Blues
Seung Hyun’s POV
I walked back and froth on the hospital’s corridor, squeezing in my hand the empty glass of coffee. Five hours have passed since we arrived here after she collapsed in my arms. Five hours in which I remained on the corridor, waiting for the doctors to come and tell me that she…she was alright. I couldn’t even think straight.
