The first flicker of dawn greeted the earth with its gentle warm as it slowly seeped into the dimly lit ward. The sound of steady beeping cracked the stillness imprisoning the room, as if a quiet alarm awakening the long sleepless night.
I blinked my eyes, feeling the heaviness on my eye bags. I thought the tears would continue to fall. But, I guessed even a tear gland could dry out like how the river was. It would eventually used up over time.
Now, all that was left within me was a numb sensation and an excruciating hollowness. I couldn't hear myself thinking. It was just...empty. Every corner I turned was a mere darkness, except him.
I lifted my head from the side of the bed. When I saw him, I felt a hand pressing down my chest. If I looked at him like this, it felt like he was going to wake up in the next second greeting me with his usual good morning. Jin only appeared to be sleeping, a bit deeper than usual.
