From the last chapter: Tai took Matt out of his darkness. They confessed their love, too.

Chapter 15: The Truth(Kaoru's POV)
I grinned happily when I heard the good news: Yama-san's condition had stabilised, so did Taichi-san.
Everyone was going frantic when Taichi-san suddenly collapsed. That time Yamato-san was… uh, let's say his heart had stopped beating. It was strange, as people told me, because when Yamato's heart stopped beating, Taichi collapsed as well. So it turned out to be another disaster.
Luckily, in a matter of minutes, miraculously… despite the fact that the doctors had given up on saving Yama-san… his heart began beating again. Everyone was sooooooo relieved, and they shed their tears of happiness, even though they still worried about Taichi-san as he was treated in another E.R.
Another good news came when the doctors found out that Taichi-san fainted due to his stress. And now he's resting in a ward… not ours! While Yama-san is still resting in his ICU.
A happy ending, isn't it?

(Tai's POV)
The first thing I asked when I woke up is, "Where's Matt?" Everybody there – Kari, T.K., Izzy, Sora, Davis, Ken, Mr. Ishida and Mrs. Takaishi – were all smiling and gave me these very… very satisfying answers: Matt's fine, his fever had reduced, and he was resting right now…
Arigatou gozaimashita, Kami-sama (Thank God)…

(Matt's POV)
…I'm back? Wow. That was the first thing that came into my mind when I opened my eyes. I still remembered everything, everything… I came to a very dark place, then I heard Tai fighting with Sora, then Mom shouted with Father… then invisible hands took me deeper…
Then came Tai. Tai called my name, he cried on me, he said he loved me… and I said I loved him too.
What the…? Hey, I'm a… Ah, never mind. It's true, anyway.
I loved him too.

(Narration)
The next day, Matt was sent back to the ward where Kaoru and Rei were. Much to his surprise, he saw his other band members – Akira, Takao, Kazuma and Seiji [1]. They came to visit Matt after hearing the news and wanted to apologise for not coming with him to China.
They told that they were actually happy when they were about to go to China, until Seiji discovered later that SARS was spreading there. So Seiji contacted all the members but somehow nobody could contact Matt as his cell phone was turned off. Coincidently the telephone in Matt's apartment was malfunctioning, and nobody knew Mr. Ishida's phone number, so they decided to tell him the morning they were supposed to go to China.
However they didn't see Matt in Haneda Airport [2] at the time the flight was due.
"What time was it?" Matt asked.
"It's supposed to be 8.00 a.m., right?" Takao asked back.
Silent.
Silent.
Silent.
"…IT'S 6.00 A.M., BAKA (you fool)!!" Matt's angry shout caused the band members to cower, while Kaoru blinked her eyes as Rei laughed. "Huh… never mind," finally he calmed himself down, accepting their apologies.
The others kicked Takao very hard. "We told ya, dammit!" they said angrily.
"I didn't know that…"
Yes, it was a hard truth, but it caused laughter to everyone that evening.

How do you like that excuse? It doesn't seem to make sense, right? Tell me what you think!
Footnotes:
[1] Like I told you before, I don't know Teenage Wolves' other members' name so I created them.
[2] Haneda Airport is the only airport in Tokyo that provides flights to China. Other international flights use Narita Airport, which some people say it as 'very, very far away'…
Thanks for reading! Review, please! Arigatou gozaimashita! *^^*
