I shook my head, "No problem aunt, until tomorrow I can."
Seongmin's mother smiled, "Thank you for accompanying him. Auntie will be back soon. Today you have to go home, don't you have a semester exam soon? You have to study and take care of your health too, girl."
"I can study here," I said, still wanting to keep Ahnseong. Seongmin's mother excused herself.
About thirty minutes I was immersed in books and collections of questions. There's no table here so I have to bend over on the sofa to write. Thirty minutes of studying to take a full three-hour exam is still lacking. For that I decided to take a short break before moving on to the next lesson. I was thirsty, I opened the refrigerator and took the can of cola that I had brought from home and chilled in the refrigerator. I burped as usual at home, but I immediately closed my mouth - it's still in the hospital and Seongmin is still fast asleep beside me. With half wet hands, I smoothed her bangs, which were long over her eyes.
It was a shocking moment. If only no man was sweeping the road at that time, Seongmin would have been crushed by a truck wheel. Luckily the man pulled his sleeve, they both survived. The man is fine now and only sustained a minor injury to his shoulder - sprained, but Seongmin was slammed onto the pavement because he fell when suddenly pulled, and it was enough to make him fainted due to shock and concussion. I was panicking half to death and almost peeing for help. Fortunately, there are still many good people in this world. A kind taxi driver finally took us to the nearest hospital.
End of past, now it's all over and Seongmin is still sleeping soundly, I waited for a long time for him to wake up. Honestly I'm lonely. My only friend is now lying weak on the hospital bed. What can I do but pray for her and hope for a miracle to come? Regardless of what he said and did to me, I wasn't angry. No, I couldn't even be angry at a very innocent child doing that - without thinking about the side effects for me, who was instantly upset half to death. Additionally, Seongmin is a good boy whose accomplishments in many fields, especially art, need to be appreciated, noted it. I remember him telling me his dream to become a singer.
Sigh, why am I even thinking so much? I'm studying right? Ah, don't bother with Seongmin why am I being worried like this, later he will wake up by himself right, why should I bother?
But for how long?
My heart sinks. The question has been hanging in my mind the last three days. Ah shit, I got up from my position sitting on the chair while playing with Seongmin's hair. I intend to pack my books and apologize for saying goodbye to aunt. Gotta hurry, before these tears ....
"Under"
...fall down. Ah, where are the tissues?
"Noona?"
"Yes?"
"Tissue in the bathroom near the glass."
"Ah okay, thank you."
Huh? I turned around, "y-you ..?". Seongmin smiled weakly like a person who woke up. "I miss noona- oh? Why?"
I don't know, I don't know how stupid I look when in fact I'm stupid. I wonder why there are people who more foolishly accept me for who I am? I really love him.
"Why are you crying? Noona seems so sad hmm? If there is a burden of life let's tell me.", Her soft voice calmed me, who was sobbing in her arms.
Seriously ...., I don't know what else to say to her. Thank you for existing Ahn Seongmin. I really don't deserve you, but i hope you're my best decision, for life.

[Epilogue]
"Don't look at me with that glare, or I'll cancel it." my crook.
"Eyy noona has promised, I have been waiting for a long time. Come on, hurry up to any song you can, i hope you singing as well as me, hehe."
"Uuh .. when the heck do you stop being cute, just get pissed off. Yeah yeah I'll do it so listen carefully."
Seongmin cutely - looks like a cub in his white shirt - clapping. Ah, luckily he didn't scream so it wouldn't cause a crowd here. I took a breath, I haven't played it in a while but for Seongmin, this is my first appearance. I plucked the guitar in the right key and I started singing a special song for him.
"I lie awake at night
See things in black and white
I've only got you inside my mind
You know you have made me blind
I lie awake and pray
That you will look my way
I have all this longing in my heart
I knew it right from the start
Oh my pretty pretty boy I love you
Like I never ever loved no one before you
Pretty pretty boy of mine
Just tell me you love me too
Oh my pretty pretty boy
I need you
Oh my pretty pretty boy I do
Let me inside
Make me stay right beside you"
