Jinhyun was at the hospital, looking at Cherry's unconscious body. The doctors had tried all day to revive her but failed. Dr. Han had somehow managed to stall further treatment until the next day since evening was almost dawning and it was time for Cherry's body to revert back to its youthful self.
His heart was hollow and cold, not feeling anything. She looked as if she was sleeping peacefully, oblivious to his existence. In her sleep, she looked so innocent that Jinhyun wanted to hug her tightly and never let go. Even though she was so near and yet so far.
He put his jacket aside and sat beside her, gently stroking her cheek. She was so pale and thin.
"I'm sorry," he whispered. "This is all my fault. I should have listened to you…"
She was still as a rock. He wished she would respond. Anything would do. Even a curse or her usual nickname 'moron' for him. If only she could talk. He wanted to say so many things to her and yet, the words would not come.
