((Present Time))

A fairly young and attractive blonde stepped through the tightly shut double doors into a cold air-conditioned building. Her tall frame stood, the sunlight jutting out the curves of her slim figure. Her blonde hair cut short but not too much so. The blonde mass of nicely waved tresses just tickled the tips of her shoulders. Her powdery blue eyes zoomed in on one person.

The man shook slightly at the intense glare before speaking, "Ms. Im? There was-"

"What's going on?" The blonde woman shuffled past him knowing full well where her sleeping lover's room was. Once she'd reached the door with the three numbers she'd committed to memory she swung it open reveling a dead quiet room.

"Yang-me?"

To that the woman received no answer.

"Yang?" Cautiously the woman moved closer towards the small bed in the middle of the flower-shrouded room. The fragrance sweet and peaceful. When she finally stood over the sleeping face of the woman she loved her hopes dimmed. She had come to the hospital in the very highest hopes. Jung Woo had called saying that Yang-me was awake but before he could finish the rest of his message the blonde woman had already sped out the door.

"It was a false alarm." An all too familiar voice sounded from behind her.

She turned dread coursing through her as she stared into hazel eyes so similar to that of the woman laying in a coma just inches away from her. "Ji-won." She had tried to keep the venom from her voice but it was simply impossible.

"Tae." He nodded towards her in acknowledgement.

"What are you doing here?" Tae seethed.

The blonde haired, hazel-eyed man stood firmly frowning, "What am I doing here? She's my sister Tae. I think I'd want to see it for myself if she had woken up."

"Get out." His presence just reminded her of all the shit Yang-me would face when she woke.

He shook his head more mockingly than sadly, "I have every right to be here Ta-"

"Get out now Ji-Won. You exposed her and when she wakes up she'll have to put up with this shit you've caused. So, get the hell out!" The pretty blonde couldn't hold in her resentment for the pitiful excuse of a man that stood before her.

His brows furrowed the anger also gripping a hold of him. In a much calmer voice he struck back, "I caused this shit, Tae? I don't think so. The moment she decided to be a slutty dyke she caused this. It's not my fault our parents simply chose to disown h-"

"That's enough." A placid voice came from behind the blonde man. An exceptionally taller blonde stood towering threateningly over Ji-Won. "I think you should leave."

Once the hazel eyed man had moved a secure distance from the pair he spoke snottily, "She was a disgrace and she'll never wake up from that coma." He then added more quietly under his breath, "I'll make sure of it."

When Ji-Won's receding form had vanished Jung Woo spoke in that usual monotone he always seemed to have, "Don't let him get to you Tae."

"I know Jung Woo but... they've decided to pull the plug." Tae spoke in barely a whisper.

"What? Who?" The now clean-cut college man was demurely confused.

His cousin just stood there, before finding the strength to plop down in a chair, "They. Yang-me's parents. They've cut her off. She has no money, nothing. And she doesn't even know it yet. But tomorrow they're going to..."

"They're going to unplug the machine keeping her alive." Jung Woo breathed sadly. The intonation in his voice actually changing to one of sorrow.

Tae held her head in her hands massaging her temples slowly as she tried to fight back the tears she thought she'd shed long ago, "It's been eight years Jung Woo. She hasn't woken up and Doc says she probably never will. Even if she did I don't think she'd want to. I mean look at all this crap. Her parents disowned her, almost everyone seems to know her sexual orientation and mine, and what can I really give her Jung Woo? Love? I just don't know if it's enough. If I'm enough."

"Tae, don't say that. You are enough. You've given everything up for her. No matter how many times Doc and me'd tell you to go home you wouldn't. No matter how many times you've had the chance to move on you haven't. You are enough." Jung Woo said softly while trapping his cousin into a comforting embrace.

"You sure?" Jung Woo questioned one last time.

Tae shook her head slowly not once looking away from Yang-me's motionless frame. "I'll be fine Jung Woo. You need to get going, you know Que-min hates it when you're late."

The blonde man smiled slightly at that, "She does, doesn't she. Either way, you know she wouldn't mind if I said I was here with you."

"Just go Jung. You know she does mind even if it's just a little bit." She coaxed.

Still, Jung Woo insisted, "Are you sure you're all right Tae? I could-"

"Good bye Jung Woo." She said authoritively indicating there was no way talking her out of staying or letting him stay.

With a sigh and a wave of his hand he was out the door whispering, "Take care and get some sleep."

Tae leaned forward resting her chin on top of the white sheets of Yang-me's hospital bed. "Jung Woo and Que-min seem to be really happy together. After Jung stopped being such an idiot and found out he had feelings for her things didn't turn out so bad. They are a pretty weird pair though. Jung Woo's gotten less passive after all of his time around her. I'm happy for them..."

"Please Yang, for me. Wake up. I don't know what I'll do without you. I love you. I said I'd stay with you forever. But I never got the chance to ask... would you stay with me?"

'Where am I?'

"Will you stay with me forever, Tae?"

'Who am I? Why do these echo?'

"I will always love you no matter what happens, Yang. I'll stay by your side forever."

'Who's talking? Tae... I remember Tae.'

"I love you."

'Tae? I... what happened? Can anyone hear me'

"...I love you. I said I'd stay with you forever. But I never got the chance to ask... would you stay with me?"

'That voice doesn't echo. I need to... I need to follow it.'

Risa: Ow!!! No pulling hair!

EMOkid: That's what you get!

Risa: I'm so not taking it back!

EMOkid: Oh yes you are!

Risa: No!

EMOkid: Yes!

Riku: Uh... the chapter is done. You guys. Hello?

EMOkid and Risa: What?!!

Riku: Er, nevermind.

Risa: ::picks up Riku's sledge hammer:: No!

EMOkid: Yes! ::picks up fairly larger sledge hammer::

Riku: See you all in the next chapter! ::runs hurriedly out of the room::

KABOOM
