She slowly lifted her tear-filled eyes, "What?"
"What you just... said, is it true?"
Just now?
Was he referring to the confession?
At that moment, thinking it was a dream or illusion, she repeated 'I like you' three times in one breath. Now that it's quiet, she couldn't help but feel a bit shy and awkward, not knowing what to do.
"No, it wasn't."
"False?"
"I..."
Only after realizing he was really awake did she find she actually lacked the courage for a confession.
"It seems only when I'm in a coma do you speak the truth. Perhaps, I should just continue being comatose."
"What are you saying!?" she suddenly got a little angry, staring at him with eyes red from crying.
God knows how long she waited, finally waiting for him to wake up, and he says something about staying comatose.
"I'd sleep for eternity for your confession."
As the words fell, his face lowered slightly. In her stunned moment, his thin lips leaned in to cover hers...
"Mmm..."
