--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As I was resting in bed, comfortably lying against the pillows after the bath, JaeJoong had disappeared somewhere, not that I know where but he told me that he would be back soon. I was tired, exhausted , the feeling you get when you have a fever actually but at least the pain had disappeared and the soreness was slowly subsiding as the hours kept passing.

It felt really weird though, to just sit in the bathtub so that I could get the pain away but it was cozy and having JaeJoong there with me was making it all easier. He got me on other tracks instead of thinking of the pain, he was trying in every way to make the pain go away and seriously, if it weren't for the pain, I probably would have thought that I had died and gone to heaven since the whole trip, it felt like a dream and not real..

I opened my eyes slowly as I heard the door open and I saw Jae entering with a tray, the tray filled with fruits and juice, just so that I would eat anything. I hadn't ate anything during the day since I had been sleeping due to the pain and also because the pain in the stomach and the soreness, I didn't want to move anywhere and just wanted to stay in bed. Jae didn't force me to eat but I think he asked me at least 10 times when every hour passed if I wanted something to eat. I guess in the end, he couldn't take it and now he was entering with a tray of food and I think it would made him feel a bit easier if I just ate something..

He put the tray right next to the bed on the night desk and caressed me softly as he kissed my forehead

"Feeling any better?" He asked softly

I nodded

"The pain is gone. The soreness is actually subsiding.. so I'm feeling a lot better actually" I said honestly and looked at him

"Then would you please.. make my anxiety disappear by eating ?" He smiled innocently

I rolled my eyes

He took the place behind me, hugging me from behind as we were sitting in the middle of the bed and JaeJoong put the tray right next to us, although the glasses of juice, he moved it onto the night desk just in case we would by accident spill it allover the bed.

He handed me a orange which he had already peeled and I started to eat it slowly. The fresh fruit made me feel like newborn and I soon started to eat more as Jae was quietly watching me from behind, satisfied with just seeing me eat and hugging me from behind

"You know. . If you're not eating.. I feel like a pig" I said and looked at him

he chuckled lightly

"I've already eaten. In fact, now when I see you eat, it feels like I'm eating too.." he said

"You really do anything to make me eat.. don't you?" I rolled my eyes..

He smiled and kissed me softly on my cheek

"I like taking care of you.. can you just stop nagging me about it and just let me?" He whined

He soon the tv that was hanging on the wall in front of us and we watched a drama serie as I was eating, once in awhile feeding him as well and being the good boy he is, he ate it.

I suddenly dropped one piece of an orange, but before it even landed on my new dress, JaeJoong managed to caught it

"I really don't want you to change clothes since I really like this dress on you" He chuckled

I looked up at him as he smiled gently at me. I was wearing a strapless, long summer dress. It was cute actually and I think it was kind of fun that JaeJoong had bought me clothes.

The dress was in the color, ocean blue, making you feel very summerlike and it was perfectly matching to the place we were at, at the moment..
JaeJoong suddenly put the tv on mute and he grabbed both of my hands and entwined it while his face was right next to mine. I was tilting my head to the side but still leaning onto his left shoulder

"I really don't want to go home tomorrow" JaeJoong whispered

"We have to.." I said but I knew very well that I didn't want to leave either

"But you know what?"

"Aniyo.. Tell me.."

"This really feels like we were newlyweds. Like.. we were on our honeymoon" JaeJoong chuckled happily

I started to laugh cause he sounded so happy, like a kid just had gotten an ice cream because he had done something good

"You think?" I asked and turned my face up to look at him

He nodded excitedly

"It feels like I've been living in 7th Heaven for the past few days and seriously, I wouldn't mind to stay here for eternity" JaeJoong said and started to play with my hands

"You really don't care about the rest of the world.. don't you?" I chuckled

He sighed

"You are my world Yumi.."

I quieten and didn't answer and he soon kissed my neck softly

"When you entered my world, all I could see was you. You've taken over me entirely.."

"You make it sound like I've done something.. really bad" I laughed

He chuckled

"Aniya~~"

"Then promise me something Jae.." I said and looked up

"Let's.. go back to this place.. again.."

"What an easy thing to promise.."

"Oh really?"

He nodded

"I'll take you here at least, 100 more times before I die" He joked

The next day when we had finished packing and cleaned the house, and of course I was feeling a lot better, we left and locked the house and got into the car. JaeJoong and I had stayed up until 3 am to talk. Not about my illness or anything, just more.. like.. our childhood, our friends.. our thoughts.. and I started to get another picture of him. .
My respect for him grew as the love grew even stronger..

When we finally arrived at home, JaeJoong didn't want to separate from me so in the end, he followed me home and as soon as we got inside the house mom greeted us warmly. JaeJoong bowed politely and excused himself so that he could take the suitcases upstairs..

"Honey?" Mom asked

"Nae~~"

"I have something for you. It's a letter from the doctor" Mom said

I sat down in the kitchen and took the letter slowly

"I haven't read it. I thought you wanted to read it first before telling me.. or anybody else.." Mom said

"It arrived yesterday" Dad said as he entered the kitchen with the newspaper in his hand

I swallowed hardly, hoping that it wasn't bad news and when I had eyed through the letter I let out a sigh of relief when it wasn't something special. Mom and dad left me alone and went back to the livingroom and soon JaeJoong came in and leaned over me just to see what I was doing

"What's that?" He asked

I swallowed hard and looked at him

"A letter from the doctor"

His facial expression changed

"Is it something.. serious?" He asked

I shook my head

"Not really.. just a .. meeting.."

"What kind of meeting?" He asked and sat down next to me

I folded the letter and put it on the table and stared blankly ahead

"It's just.. a meeting. They're going to inform me.. about.. the life of a blind person.. and.. inform me about my opportunities.. What I can do.. best while being a blind person"

My voice cracked at the end of the sentence and JaeJoong didn't say anything. I swallowed hard as I slowly started to realize that this was going to happen..
This is really.. going to happen.. I am really going blind..

I looked down on my hands and soon I saw Jae's hand approaching and grabbing it

"I'll go with you.." he whispered

I looked up and faced him

"No one said that you are going to be blind yet. There is still time. I guess.. they just want to prepare you.. for it.." He said softly

I sighed heavily as I felt my heart sinking

"Where is it? I'll take you there.." He said

I swallowed hard

"The hospital for people with disabilities.." I said with a thick voice

I did feel the strange atmosphere and I did feel that Jae was getting worried about me cause, right now.. this was our reality check. Our dream that we had been living in for the past few days when we went on the trip, seemed so far away at the moment. .

The reality was hunting us down now..

And the time was ticking..

It was getting closer.. now.. and I guess.. it was time to prepare ourselves..
