(707 POV)

She was the only one who could love me for what I was then. For what I am now. And for what I would be.

I never really told her how I felt, because telling her would mean that she could no longer stay in my life. That's how much she meant, and...still...means to me.

That secret smile you flash, when you are secretly amused, people-watching on the subway. That serious face when you concentrate to pick apples from the grocery store around the corner from your apartment, 'cos Tuesday is "Fresh Fruits Day". That skip in your step when you think it's going to rain, and you feel like walking home in the rain.

All of which, will never be shared with me. EVER.

No, I'm not jealous. No, I'm not sad. The only result of those two emotions, will only lead me to insanity. A path which I had sworn never to take again.

Almost losing you once was bad enough. I didn't need to lose you again.

(MC POV)

I couldn't explain it.

Why I always felt like someone was watching me.

But it wasn't a bad feeling. Just warm, and somewhat strange. Like I knew that that person was looking out for me. My own personal guardian angel.

I was tired, especially today, after back-to-back meetings at the C&R office. The CEO, Jumin, offered me a job shortly after I released from the hospital. Saying that I needed to "keep my mind off things", and also partially to let myself have a source of income on my own. The doctor had said that anything was better than me staying at home, where my thoughts could roam again and again.

It had been 2 weeks since I started at the company. Prior to that, I was stuck in the hospital for almost 6 weeks.

In a drug-induced coma.

Apparently they said that the trauma to my head, and to my body was so great that they had to induce a coma. Otherwise, I would have just succumbed to my injuries.

That was what they told me.

But I knew the truth. It was all in everyone else's faces. There was something else they were hiding from me. That they were scared I would remember.

That was the real reason they induced my coma.

To protect me.
