Taeyong pov

It's at exactly 10:01AM that soft knocks on the door can be hear.
I smile at how my parents are never late.
I rub my sleeping eyes and tell them to enter.

My mom enters and stand without telling something for almost a minute. She looks at me with so much happiness in her eyes, like she couldn't believe I'm alive.
She slowly walks closer to me; she sits on the side of my hospital bed.
I took her hand in mine.
«I'm sorry mom.»

All the efforts she seemed to put to look okay fall as soon as she hears me talk.
She takes me in her arms, her tears falling on my shoulder.
«Don't be sorry my child, you have nothing to be sorry for. I'm so happy that you're alive.»
She says before stops herself to sob.
She moves back from the hug to look at me.
«Actually, we're the ones who are sorry, your dad and I feel so guilty, we never noticed that you were not okay. We're so sorry, we should had been here for you more sweetie.»
She takes my face between her hands and kiss me forehead.

«It's fine mom, you don't have to feel guilty, it's not your fault.»
I comfort her before getting interrupt.
My dad enters in the room with a bag in his right hand, flowers in his left hand.
I feel like crying at the sight of a bunch of white roses.
My favorites.

«Dad...»
I manage to say, shaken by the emotions.

«I bought a meal for you at your favorite bibimbap restaurant, and I also brought American sweets for Johnny.»
My dad tells me, showing me the bag.

«I love you so much...»
I cry, can't holding back my tears anymore.

My dad comes closer to dry my tears with his thumbs.
«It's okay sweetie, we're here now.»
He whispers, filling the room with his comforting words.

«How long do you stay in Seoul this time?»
I ask them, wanting to enjoy their presence the more that I can before they leve again.

«You don't have to worry about that sweetie, we're staying.»
My mom answers while playing his locks of my hair.

«What do you mean?»
I demand, eyebrows frowning in confusion.

«Your mom and I are going to open our own law firm, here in Seoul.
We're staying with you Tae'.»
My dad tells, a smile growing on his face.

«Really? You're staying with me?»
My lips tremble by the emotions.

«Yes sweetie, we're going to be here for you since now, you're not going to be lonely anymore. We promise you.»
My mom confirms, rubbing her thumb on my cheekbone.

I pull my mom and my dad in a hug, holding them close.
«I love you..."

«We love you too Tae'. You don't have to worry anymore; we're going to take care of you.»
My dad and my mom move back from the hug.
«The doctor told us you're going to need a lot of sleep; we're going to let you rest okay? Enough of emotions for now sweetie.»
My mom laughs a bit at the last part of her sentence.
«We let your meal next to your phone, eat it when you're hungry, the nurses can reheat it if you ask them. You have your phone to call if you need. We are coming back tonight. For now, sleep, you don't have to worry about everything.»

I just nod my head. They kiss my cheek each in turn before going out of the room, lowering the light of the room for me to sleep.

But I'm totally not sleepy, so with the agreement of the nurses I make my way to the cafeteria, craving for hot coffee.

«Hey Lee Taeyong!»
Some calls me from the other side of the cafeteria.
I turn around a little confused to see a pink-haired teenager.
Do I know him?
