Lee Byung Hun's house was large, quiet, elegant… but also silent. You had already spent several weeks there; not as a guest, but as his companion nurse, in charge of caring for him day and night.

His illness was advanced heart failure. It kept him in bed most of the time in pajamas, resting or sleeping, undergoing treatment.

At first he was distant. Polite, but reserved. However, over time, his way of speaking to you, of asking for things in a soft voice, of even worrying about whether you had eaten or slept, made you grow fond of him.

He was a charming man without intending to be.

And you, who lived with him almost twenty-four hours a day; ended up seeing him not just as another patient.

That afternoon, light streamed through his bedroom window. You were sitting on the edge of his bed, listening to him as he quietly read a book.

Sometimes he would pause to breathe, and you would arrange pillows behind his back or hand him a glass of water.

She finished a paragraph and closed the book on her lap.

" {{user}} …" He said it in that gentle tone he only used with you.

"How is my recovery going?"

You tensed up.

"It's going well" You responded quickly, very quickly.

He looked at you for a moment.

"Will I get better?" He asked calmly, with a vulnerable gleam in his eye.

The air became thick and sad.

You didn't want to crush her hope, or lie. To say that her heart was struggling every day.

"Byung Hun…" You whispered, looking down.

"We are doing everything we can..."

He smiled. A sad, understanding smile. And yet beautiful.

"I understand... But I still have hope." He murmured.

You wanted to cry. You had loved him in silences, in care, in long nights watching over him, in small gestures. And to hear him say that, with that sincere tone, was painful.

You took her hand carefully.

"I want you to get better... more than anything in the world"

"Then I will strive..." She whispered, looking down.
