Four days have passed,

Heoni decides to ask for a week away from school, fortunately the school let her.

And with that said, she accepted what she had, she accepted that she has it, she accepted who she is, and that her illness doesn't define her.

Hyunjin stayed with her, skipping most classes for her, they made a deal to help each other heal, be the existent friend they should've had.

Even if that lead them to a few fights and scolding when they wanted to skip their medscheds, when they wanted to see them again.

Everyday they tried, learning and accepting to let go of something they couldn't even hold on to.

But they're trying, their best at most, to be there for each other without anyone else, real or not.

"Tik or tit! Hapiliwin!"

Heoni was brought back to earth when the child in front of her cried out their greetings.

"Happy Halloween."-She hands the child a handful of packed gummy bears, ruffling their hair.

The kid signs her to come down, as she bent to their level, the kid says,
"He wants you to have this."

Reaching out to the pack of cola gummies, her heart raced, she knew she's never told anyone about it.

"Wh-who?"

The child then smiles cheekily, pointing at the same old bench he used to always sit in when he waited for her every morning, so they could go to school together, or just anytime, he was there.

"Heoni."

Snapping his fingers in front of her face, Hyunjin gave him the look.

"Don't tell me he gave you that, you've been holding on to that since earlier. And don't wait till I make you drink your meds again."

She stares down, the child was gone, checking the small box she's bringing, there are no more packed gummy bears, the kid was real, probably left after I gave the candy.

Heoni walks back inside her house, greeted by Hyunjin who was holding her medicine container.

"I know you've been skipping, everytime I'm at school.

And.... I haven't been very honest with you either."

Heoni listens, while taking them, drinking from the pitcher directly that she grabbed from the table.

"I skipped some too... and I talked to him every midnight. He still hates you."-Forcing a laugh in trial to lighten the atmosphere, Heoni answers him with a genuine, concern filled smile.

"Let's try and do a perfect streak again, no more secrets?"

Looking away, Hyunjin leaned on kitchen counter, mumbling.

"S-someone's here to... to talk to you."

Leaving her at the area, the usual dumbfounded state she was always in.

The main door creaks open, someone she's been avoiding to see, someone she tried forgetting, someone thought she'd never see again comes in with a bouquet of packed cola gummies,

his face was hard to read, he was just as stunned at she is.

"Hey, dipshit."

Freezing where she stands, Heoni stares at his face with blank yet crowded thoughts,

"Minho?"
