SANA'S POV

"Hey," Yuta hugged me as soon as I got off Ryu's private jet. It took off on the helepad of the hospital. "I'm glad you made it."

"How's Ryu?" I asked him. He stayed silent. "Take me to my friend, please?" He nodded and led me towards Ryu's room. He told me that his room is spacious, but counted individuals are only allowed to enter the room. We have to wear masks and lab gowns before we could enter Ryu's room.

I first saw a man, sleeping on the bed with a mask on his face. I walked towards him.

Ryu looked so thin. He's kind of pale. He looked like a dying vegetable in a market.

"How did he get that disease?" I asked Yuta. He sat down on the couch, crossed his legs and arms and answered me.

"From other people smoking." He answered. "He inhaled nicotine."

"How? Why?" I asked him. "Are there employees smoking inside the building?"

"No, there's no one smoking inside the building." He shook his head. "He usually goes to the bar these days. I know that he's somewhat stressed because of the business, but going to bars and having a drink are his ways to relieve stress."

"Then why don't you drink with him inside his house?" I asked him.

"I have never thought of that." He was shook. "Maybe because he wants to be alone."

"Why?"

"I don't know, okay?" He answered me. "I'm not his personal assistant, so don't ask me questions that I can't answer."

"You should know that because you're the one who's with him." I rolled me eyes at him. I shifted my glance at Ryu. He really looks peaceful. As far as I know, he has no family left. His father died during a war and his mother died because of some kind of disease. He has no siblings. He has to take care of himself after college. I took care of him as a friend. I cheered him up, although his personality is a bit like Yoongi's.

"Are you going to sleep here?" Yuta asked. I faced him and glanced back at Ryu.

"Maybe." I nodded.

"Thank God! I have been sleeping here for 2 nights already. I want to go home." My eyebrows crossed.

"So you called me to take care of Ryu?" He nodded. This jerk. "I promised Tae that I will be back after a day."

"You and Tae are now okay?" He inquired. "Wow, I didn't know that. Since when did you guys started dating?"

"This isn't about me, okay?" I told him. I can see his smirk under his mask. "Go home. I'll be taking care of Ryu."

"Okay, thank you." He stood up, hugged me and exited the door. I was left with the sleeping Ryu.

Throughout the night, I didn't leave him. I stayed awake although I'm really sleepy. I just want to look after him for the whole night.

I wonder what is Tae doing right now. It's almost 1 AM and Korea and Japan has the same time zone. Maybe he's sleeping already. After all, it's been a long day for him.

Truthfully, when he allowed me to go here, I am very unsure if I will still go here or what. I want to see Ryu's condition, but I also want to see Tae everyday. It's kind of in my routine. Seeing him everyday in the same house.

I saw Ryu's fingers move. He's waking up. He opened up one of his eyes and looked in my direction. I smiled at him, although he won't be able to see my smile because of the mask.

"Good morning," I greeted him. He opened both of his eyes and half-smiled. "Good morning, Ryu."

"You're here?" He asked, amazed. I nodded. "I thought you'll not be able to see me."

"Why? Because Yuta said so?" He chuckled.

"Yeah, because Yuta said so." He smiled, flashing his colgate smile. He has the whitest teeth and the most red gums among us three. He looks like an animé. He's that guy in comic books if I were to describe him. He's that cold, insensitive, but sweet and loving guy in movies.

"Yuta called me earlier. He told me that I should see you because you're diagnosed with that disease." I paused. "He fetched me with your private jet."

"That jerk. He didn't ask for my permission." I heard him whisper and I just laughed softly. "Good thing you were able to go here."

"Yeah, Tae permitted me." I told him. He didn't look shock, unlike Yuta. The king of reactions.

"I'm happy for you, guys." He smiled. "I want to be invited in your wedding."

"Wedding?" I chuckled. "That's not what I have in mind for the both of us."

"If I know, Tae has been preparing for something when you come back." He smirked.

"What are you talking about? He doesn't have time." I refused. I don't want to believe in Ryu's words, honestly. It will make me hope. And hoping isn't my thing.

TAE'S POV

A gazebo was placed in the middle of the forest. Inside the gazebo, there's a table for two where Sana and I will be having dinner. There's also a pathway towards the gazebo since it's in the middle of the forest. It may take us time to find the gazebo, though.

There are scented candles placed on the edge of the pathway to make it more romantic. Since this dinner will happen tonight, I decided to have candles.

The gazebo is decorated with different kinds of flowers; there are hydrangeas, violets, roses and many more. There's a candle in the middle of the table to serve as the light while we're eating. Besides the light bulb, of course.

The forest looks very quiet, but very romantic. Only the gazebo and the pathway has lights. But since it's kind of windy in the forest, we decided to put lids on the candle to prevent it from getting blown away by the wind.

I wore a simple baby pink shirt dress. The sleeves are folded up in three-fourths. I paired it up with a pair of black slacks and leather jet black shoes.

I didn't know that we will be executing it properly with the given span of time. Preparing for something like this is very risky because time is our enemy.

"What did Momo and Hobi say?" I asked Yoongi. Good thing he was able to go here with Nayeon. Nayeon is singing Yoona a lullaby. I can see Nayeon yawn. Probably because she's been tired from work and still, she goes here just to support me.

"Uh, they are at the airport right now." Yoongi read the text message from his phone and fixed his specs. "Momo said that Sana's plane just landed. They are waiting for her right now."

"That's good to hear." I said and flashed a smile. I am very much nervous for this moment. I can't wait until Sana gets here.

"This is so romantic," Dino crossed his arms and smiled. "How did you execute it?"

"We know people, especially Jimin. He has lots of connection with some people. I just negotiated with them." He nodded and smiled. "I was thinking when should I propose to Chaeng."

"You're going to propose to her?" I asked in a whisper, shocked of what he just said.

He chuckled, "Not now. I'm still earning." We just smiled.

"Hey," Yoongi walked towards me with his swag. He never lost it even though he has a wife and a daughter now. "They are on their way."

"Really? I have to get ready!" I said and let out a deep breath. I am very much nervous.

I have so many doubts inside my mind now. What if she won't like it? What if she won't say yes? What if she doesn't have feelings for me, still?

"Tae," Mina placed her hand on my shoulder. I faced him. "You're sweating. Are you nervous?"

"Y-Yeah," I nodded. She smacked me on my head. "That hurts, penguin."

"There's nothing to be nervous about, stupid." She told me.

"How did Jin propose to you again?" I asked her.

"He asked me while we're taking a shower." My eyebrows crossed. How cheap can Jin be? "You're judging me silently, aren't you--"

"They're here!" Mina fled from me and hid with the others. I stood infront of the table and sighed over and over again to release the tension I have inside of me.

This is it, Tae.
