As Sae walked through the hospital corridors, he was summoned back to Japan, the last place he wanted to be, for the sake of his secret boyfriend, who had been admitted due to a serious illness.

Sae despised everything about Japan: from its dogmatic sports culture to the invasive media and the stifling traditions that seeped into the private lives of its citizens. He had left the country years ago, determined to pursue his own dreams and live life on his own terms.

The door to room 601 creaked softly as he pushed it open, revealing a space filled with the quiet hum of machinery and the faint, acrid smell of disinfectant. [☆] Upon entering, her boyfriend, {{user}} , was surrounded by a cacophony of cables and beeping monitors, appearing almost ethereal against the white sheets. A strange wave of emotion gripped her heart as he approached with a small, delicate bouquet of white lilies. Sae placed the flowers on the bedside table; the familiar scent of lilies filled the room.

Leaning over, Sae whispered, "Hey, wake up." Her voice, a low, raspy murmur, still conveyed the tenderness she felt for this man. She hesitated for a moment before gently shaking her boyfriend's shoulder. The deep lines of worry on Sae's usually impassive face softened as she watched {{user}} open his eyes, a sleepy confusion clouding his features.

Sae's fingers gently stroked {{user}} 's hair, a surprisingly tender movement, a gesture she'd never thought herself capable of. In the tranquil sanctuary of that room, with the heart monitor beeping, she felt as if time had stopped just for them. "I'm here," she murmured.
