**LAST HOPE**

A week has been Ayumi undergoing critical period and a week also she has not been aware of her critical period. Ayumi was diagnosed with a brain disorder. Derick and Keiko have been with Ayumi since the night that Ayumi was declared a miscarriage. While Kenji, he could only visit Ayumi secretly. His ego still overpowers his conscience which is actually worrying about Ayumi's state. He only comes and meets Ayumi when Derick and Keiko are not in the room.

Like tonight for example, in the midst of heavy rain that flushes the city of Seoul, Kenji as usual routinely visits the hospital, but he sighed a little annoyed because Derick was never absent to come to the hospital, Derick also always stayed and slept on Ayumi's left side while Keiko slept on Ayumi's right side. At first Kenji hopes that because of this heavy rain, Derick will not come to visit, but he is wrong, Derick still comes to the hospital even though he has to get soaked, because Kenji saw Keiko helping Derick take off his wet suit.

"Has there been no development from Ayumi?"

Kenji steals hearing Derick's words asking Keiko.

"Yet. She still sleeps beautifully." Lirih Keiko looked at Ayumi and then sat down beside Ayumi stroking the cute lady's affection.

"Derick..How would Ayumi react if she found out she lost her baby?" asked Keiko who returned her tears could not bear to imagine how the pain reaction that Ayumi would feel later.

Keiko's question, too, made someone who was stealing hear near the entrance frown and feel a throbbing pain in his chest. She also can't imagine what kind of reaction Ayumi will be if she finds out that her baby candidate –no-your baby candidate is not saved.

"We will always be with Keii, the important thing now is that Ayumi must wake up first. He's been asleep too long." Derick held onto Keiko's shoulder which continued to tremble.

Hatcih~

Shortly after, Keiko sneezed and trembled not because she was crying, but because her body felt so cold.

"Keii, are you sick?" Derick turned his head and asked Keiko, but Keiko shook her head weakly "I'm fine. I'm just a little tired because my yumiku hasn't been conscious either." Keiko muttered her head to the side of Ayumi's bed.

Deruck frowned not to believe Keiko's words that seemed to be feeling unwell, he also forced Keiko's forehead and widened when he felt Keiko's body temperature was very hot "God, Keii, your body is very hot." He said to tell Keiko "You should get checked." Derick slightly forced Keiko who was still laying herself on the side of Ayumi's bed.

"No. I'm doing fine. What if Ayumi wakes up and there's no us? He's gonna feel like we don't care about Rick." Protests the struggling Keiko with Derick's grip on her shoulder.

"You still have to check on Keii, I don't want you to be exhausted from looking after Ayumi this week. You didn't even come home." Said Derick who kept forcing Keiko.

"Derick enough! I'm fine." Keiko felt a little guilty for yelling at Derick.

"Derick.. Oh, god put me down. We can't leave Ayumi alone." Keiko thrashed at Derick's sling, but Deruck ignored her, Derick looking increasingly worried because Keiko's face was so pale.

After the death of Derick who brought Keiko to be examined, then Kenji ventured to enter the room Ayumi. He entered slowly and without a sound, until finally he actually stood beside Ayumi.

His eyes continued to trace the beautiful looking face while asleep, shadowing how beautiful the lips were when smiling, somehow his eyes continued to trace every inch of Ayumi's body, and the eyes continued to trace every inch, until her gaze stopped on Ayumi's stomach that looked flat because it no longer contained their baby candidates.

Kenji smiled bitterly, considering the few times he said Ayumi had become fat and too full, he did not expect at all if at that time, the wife he hated was pregnant with his child, his flesh and blood. Without him noticing, tears quickly fell from his eyes and soaked his cheeks and nose.

"Sorry."

For the first time in seven years, a sentence Kenji himself swore never to say again, he finally said in front of someone who had been a victim of his anger for seven years.

The regret that this time Kenji felt was because of helping her Ayumi lost her baby. He even thought hard during this week why did Ayumi help him? Why didn't Ayumi let her die so she wouldn't have to feel depressed and suffer anymore? and why Ayumi did not choose to save her baby.All the questions in Kenji's mind always gave him a headache, thinking about why Ayumi was so stupid to save people who obviously hated him.

"Wakeup. There's a lot I want to ask." Her request ventured to hold Ayumi's hand which felt very cold.

Meanwhile, Derick's hasty steps back into Ayumi's room to pick up his suit left in Ayumi's room, he had to pay off the payment administration because Keiko was dehydrated and exhausted and had to be treated for infusion.

Derick frowned slightly to find someone in Ayumi's room, he turns a little to find Kenji there and wants to immediately throw him out until he accidentally hears what Kenji said to Ayumi who is still unconscious.

"You're a stupid human who chose to save people like me, why are you there ? why are you running towards me? Why are you sacrificing that innocent baby hmhh?" said Kenji slightly shaking while tightly grasping Ayumi's hand.

"Do you want to repay me? Do you want to scream a killer in front of my face when you wake up? Why-why..Why is it like this.hah!." Kenji groaned in annoyance and looked very frustrated pulling his own hair.

Derick can only listen to all Kenji's words no longer intend to expel Kenji who will however be the legal husband of Ayumi. He did not expect that Kenji also felt very much lost the baby that was conceived by Ayumi, Derick smiled softly because he felt unbearable for his cousin who had to go back to feel the loss of someone who made him look very shocked and so pale.

"Wakeup..I don't know what to do with you, but you have to wake up. Don't make me angry..Ayumi." Kenji felt his entire body tremble as Ayumi's name slid freely out of his mouth. Unlike usual he called Ayumi's name full of anger, this time he felt very longing to call a name that felt very fitting said and so dear if not muttered.

Kenji widened as he felt Ayumi's hand move in his grasp, he then smiled in relief and hurriedly released his grip on Ayumi's hand. Kenji slightly ran out of Ayumi's room, making Derick who had noticed her frown confused, after Kenji's death, Derick entered Ayumi's room to make sure Ayumi's condition. "Of the hell?" Derick muttered a little surprised to see Ayumi was opening her eyes as if to find out where she was.

"Derick.." said Ayumi when she saw Derick standing near her. Ayumi felt her hands still warm, she could open her eyes because she hoped the warmth she felt did not disappear quickly, but she was a little disappointed because it turned out that the warm grip she felt was just her imagination.

"Thank God yum, thank God you're awake. I-i... Dokterrr." Derick approached Ayumi and shouted to the medical team to quickly come check on Ayumi's condition.

Derick continued to hold Ayumi's hand while pressing the button on top of Ayumi's bed, before long Kyuhyun and some of his assistants and nurses arrived and asked Derick to leave the room for a while.
