Pacing back and forth, Wonwoo waits outside of Eun Ri's surgery room. She had broken ribs, her right arm was dislocated and her lungs seemed to be crushed. Beads of sweat dripped from the demigod's forehead as he kept pacing. The light on the surgical room died and the doors open as nurses push Eun Ri's body to a recovery room. Wonwoo follows immediately asking questions.
" Did she make it?" He asked the doctor. The doctor looks at him, his eyes slightly sad.
" She's lucky to have survived. Her body will recover in about a month or two. But there is something else. Her head got a concussion and she has lost some of her memories. You'll need to slowly help her earn her memories back." The doctor said. Wonwoo nods as he heads towards Eun Ri's room. The girl was unconscious lying on the bed. Her brown hair matted with sweat and her chest slowly rising and falling. Wonwoo pulls a chair and sits next to her bed, he grabs her hand and laces his fingers around hers.
" Eun Ri... I don't know if you can hear me or remember me, but I'm your boyfriend. We barley confessed to each other today." Wonwoo said rubbing small circles onto her knuckles. Suddenly the girls shifts in her sleep, slowly her eyes flutter open. She turns to look at the boy next to her, her eyes slightly widened and her head tilted.
" D-do I know you? You look familiar." The girl said. Wonwoo smiles sadly as he looks into her eyes.
" Yes. You knew me. You see you had an accident." Wonwoo said slowly. Eun Ri looks at the demigod and blushes slightly.
" W-Wonwoo?" She said confused. Wonwoo's heart skips a beat as he smiles.
" Yes! Do you remember me?" He asks eagerly. The girl nods slowly.
" Where are we? And I can't remember who I am..." Eun Ri said. Wonwoo takes her hand.
" Don't worry, I'm going to help you remember." Wonwoo said. Eun Ri smiles before slipping back to sleep. Wonwoo stiffens but then relaxes when he sees her chest rise and fall. Now his mission is to help Eun Ri.

" Wonwoo." Hades said when his son entered the house. Wonwoo walks nonchalantly to his father.
" Yeah dad?"
" Why did you save that girl." Wonwoo instantly freezes. Of course he knew, the god of the underworld always knew if someone died or was saved.
" Because. I love her. I can't just let her go." Wonwoo said. " You're one to talk dad. My mother was human." Hades chuckles darkly.
" Son. You cannot compare your mother to her, your mother was different." Hades said. Wonwoo stiffens and gives his father a cold stare.
" Do not be hypocritical dad. Mom was human, Eun Ri is human. You cannot stop me from loving her, I changed her fate." Wonwoo said. Hades laughs.
" I've taught you well my son. But remember, as a demigod my job is going to be passed to you. When that happens, you must let her go. Just like I let your mother go."
" I never said I wanted to be a death god. I could always give it up." Wonwoo challenged. Hades' face darkens.
" Do not even think about it. You are my son and you must take the job, it is your right." Hades said. Wonwoo smirks at his father.
" Dad, you know you can't control me. I have my free will. You know you can't stop me." And he walks away leaving the god of the underworld speechless.

" Was I good at school Wonwoo?" Eun Ri asks. Wonwoo smiles sweetly.
" Yes. You were always second ranking in class." Wonwoo said. Eun Ri smiles before Wonwoo wraps his arms around her tiny frame.
" Hey Woo?"
" Hm?"
" Promise me... that you'll never leave me." Eun Ri said looking up at her boyfriend. Wonwoo stares into her huge brown eyes.
" I'll never leave you. I love you so much and I'd do anything for you. I'll aways be with you Eun Ri." Wonwoo said. Eun Ri smiles sweetly before reaching up to place a kiss on Wonwoo's lips. Wonwoo smiles before deepening the kiss.
" I'll always be here..." Wonwoo said against Eun Ri's lips.
" Always."
