Nanon's P.O.V:

I woke up to the sunlight coming through the window so I opened my eyes and sat up.

Chimon was sitting on the chair in front of me.

"Ai Mon?" I asked.

He smiled and nodded.

"How have you been?" He asked.

"I don't know" I said.

He sighed heavily and stood up then walked over to me and sat down on the chair next to my bed instead.

He took my hands in his.

"You have to answer my question" He said.

I shook my head as I felt like crying.

"I won't be here to look after you forever...So you have to answer my question" He said again.

"I don't want to" I said.

Then started crying.

"Ai Non...Deep down you know the truth all along...You can't keep on living like that...It's not right" He said.

"No...You're part of my imagination...You can't say that to me" I said.

I tugged at his hands.

"I don't want to believe it so I won't" I said.

He sighed heavily and removed my hands.

"I'm not your imagination...You just made it look like I'm your conscious...So just listen to your conscious for once" He said.

"If my conscious is telling me to live with the fact that I killed my bestfriend then no" I said.

"What about your new friends then? Don't you feel sorry for them at all? They're trying their best for you...The least you can do is appreciate their efforts" He said.

"I don't need them I just need you" I said.

"And I'm not here anymore I'm dead" He said.

Then put his hands on my shoulders.

"And I've been dead for the past four years now...You thinking about me all the time won't bring me back" He said.

Then smiled.

"You don't have to be alone anymore...Once I'm gone you'll realise that you have a lot to catch up on...With your family...With your friends and with Ohm" He said.

Then patted my shoulders.

"Not just that...You're smart and talented in drawing so you should go to the faculty of your choice" He said.

"Stop talking like that I don't like it" I said.

"I told you that I can only say what you want to hear...And right now you want to hear that wether you like it or not" He said.

I put my hands on my ears and shook my head.

"If I stop thinking then...Would you stay?" I asked.

He shook his head.

"I can't" He said.

I started crying again.

"But...I don't want you to go" I said.

He put his hand on my chest where my heart was.

"I'm here...I'll be always here" He said.

Then removed his hand and put it on my head and started patting it lightly.

I closed my eyes.

"But you need to get better...You can't keep going on like that or you'll die too" He said.

I stayed silent so he removed his hand away from my head.

"Four years ago when I told you to live I didn't mean you should be an addict...I'm sorry" He said.

"I was scared...I'm still scared" I said.

"You're not alone...When you wake up...You'll know that I've been telling you the truth" He said.

Then opened his arms.

I hugged him immediately.

"You'll be alright you don't have to be scared anymore" He said in my ear.

I closed my eyes as I started feeling tired.

He continued patting my back lightly.

I opened my eyes and saw that it was afternoon.

Chimon was nowhere in sight.

I pursed my lips into a thin line.

I still lived after all that...

He never wanted me dead it was my imagination.

I stood up and took a book from the shelf then went back to bed and started reading it.

I remembered that time when I was hung over and desperate for my medications so I sighed heavily.

At that time I thought he didn't come to help me because he wanted me dead.

I flipped the page.

But that wasn't true.

I took out the dandelion resin bead and started playing with it.

Ohm gave it to me...

Dandelions represent hope and peace and strength.

I smiled as I admired it.

It's perfect...

The book fell off so I put the resin bead back on my shirt and reached out and grabbed the book.

Then went back to reading silently.

After some time the door opened and my friends walked in.

I looked up and pursed my lips into a thin line.

Then put the book aside and turned back to them.

I wasn't ready to meet them again yet even though it has been almost a week.

But...Here goes...

"I made my decision...I'm going on a self induced coma" I said.

"Huh?" Bright asked shocked.

I nodded.

"I've made my decision" I said.

I have to take a break and rest for a while...No I need to rest.

Ohm's P.O.V:

I looked at him for what felt like minutes.

"Ohm say something" Tu said.

"Ok" I said.

"Are you kidding me? Do you know what a self induced coma is?" Bright asked.

"I do" I said.

Tu pursed her lips into a thin line and looked at the floor.

"I know that the chances of waking up from such a thing is as good as zero but I don't mind" I said.

"You've really lost it right?" Bright asked.

I shook my head.

"I'm perfectly sane...And I've never been sure of anything else as I'm now" I said.

I didn't even feel like crying.

"If that's what you want then go right ahead" I said.

Then walked out of the room.

Tu's P.O.V:

Me and Bright exchanged a look then went after Ohm.

He was sitting on a bench at the hospital garden.

"What was that back there? Are you sure you want that?" I asked frowning in confusion.

"Why don't you two sit down? I can draw you" Ohm said.

"Ai Ohm we're being serious" Bright said.

Ohm sighed heavily and nodded.

"This is it...The finish line" Ohm said.

I sat down next to him.

"Are you sure you're ok with this? He might never wake up" I said.

"Wether he wakes up or not...I did my best didn't I? I fought till the end" He said.

"But still..." Bright started.

"Still nothing...Maybe this is the perfect timing...I'm not saying that I'll move on but...Maybe it's time to take a break and focus on my life...Don't you think so too?" Ohm asked.

I smiled slightly and nodded.

"I still think this is wrong" Bright said.

Then stood up and left.

"Bright...AI BRIGHT WAIT" I yelled then ran after him.

He was in his car when I found him so I got in next to him.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Nothing...It's just..." Bright said.

Then ruffled his hair as he groaned in frustration.

"I don't know...I admired Ohm's courage so...I mean...Giving up like that...Isn't it as good as losing hope?" He asked.

Then he took my hands in his.

"And if he gives up after all we did to help him then...Isn't that as good as like...Looking down on our efforts?" Bright asked.

I sighed heavily and nodded.

"I don't know...I'm shocked too...But if they both decided then we can help Ohm by distracting him don't you think so too?" I asked.

He sighed heavily and nodded.

"I guess so...But..." He started.

I chuckled and shook my head.

"You really looked up to him didn't you?" I asked.

And smiled when I noticed that his ears were turning red.

"Alright alright fine...I did look up to him ok? How could I not? Ohm is like...The bravest person I ever met...Not just that he's also stubborn and headstrong...I wished I was like him...When I saw how he tried so hard to help Nanon...I was suddenly reminded of you...And it made me wonder what would I have done if you were in Nanon's shoes" Bright said.

I nodded in understanding.

Then leaned closer and pressed my lips to his.

I pulled away and smiled at him then ruffled his hair.

"You and me are different from Ohm and Nanon...We can never be them...But we're their friends...Friends don't just help each other they learn from each other" I said.

Then chuckled and removed my hand.

"And I'd say that we learned a lot from them" I said.

Bright nodded.

"He's going to be ok right?" Bright asked.

"I'm sure he will" I said.

Then got off the car and extended my hand to him.

"Do you want to go back now?" I asked.

He got off the car and nodded.

I slung an arm around his shoulder and we went to find Ohm.

Ohm's P.O.V:

I was busy drawing some of the flowers when Tu and Bright walked over to me.

"There's something I want to do but no offence" Bright said.

I looked at him confused.

"Can you just stand up?" Bright asked.

"Ummm...Ok?" I asked.

Then stood up and he punched me.

"Hey what was that for?" I asked angrily.

"For backing out of the play at the start of the semester" Bright said.

I frowned in confusion then remembered what he was talking about.

The first time I met Bright was when I wanted to drop out of the play months ago when I was depressed over the fact that Nanon was an addict.

That day Tu took me to the college rooftop and told me she saved me from getting punched by her temperamental boyfriend.

Then she encouraged me not to give up on Nanon by telling me what happened to her brother.

"Do you know how hard it was to get the play going you dumb creature? We needed all the help we could get...That's why you deserve a beating" Bright said.

I burst out laughing.

Tu chuckled and shook her head.

"Are all the men I know idiots? The answer is definitely" She said chuckling.

I slung my arms around their shoulders.

"Yes...I do deserve that one" I said smiling.

We sat down.

"So what are you going to do now?" Tu asked.

"I'll go back to college the next semester...It's already too late even if I want to be present for the rest of the exams anyway" I said shrugging.

"Well...You can ask us for help with studying anytime...We're in the same faculty anyway" Tu said.

"Don't worry ok? It's going to get easier from now on" Bright said.

I smiled and nodded.

That would be great.
