The flashing lights of the blue and the red came into my view, circulating in a repetitive pattern. My world fell apart with every passing moment. My heart pounded loudly in my chest, and my breaths were heavy. Finally, an ambulance came to pick you up.

As we raced through the night streets to the hospital, everything around me turned to white. I could hardly see anything, and all I could do was hold your soft hand tightly in mine, tears streaming endlessly down my face.

The paramedics ordered me to let go of you once we were closer to the emergency room, but I didn't want to let go. A part of me believed that this was some messed up prank or a crazy nightmare. Nothing was really wrong. I clung onto the hope that our love would anchor us through this storm.

But then I did let go, and my heartache built up inside me, tearing at my soul. I sat outside of the room, staring out into the endless hallways of the hospital, unable to shake off the paranoia that my life had changed completely.

Waiting ...

Waiting ...

Waiting ...

The second hand ticked by. My mind was weighed down by the what if's and maybe's. Finally, the doctor came out with the news. But I wasn't ready for it, my defences were down, and the shocking reality hit me like a cold and bitter slap.

Dear Nari,

I'll always be right here by your side, ready to hold your hand, okay? Whether it's a raging storm or gentle rain, I'll hold you tightly, keeping you safe. Even when the power comes back on, and the world around us brightens, my grip won't loosen. Just remember, I love you, okay?

From your love, Seokjin.
