200 His Confession (1/2)
- During the 20 hours of waiting for Wei Na to wake up at the hospital -
The scent of cotton swabs soaked with alcohol, and sounds of hurried footsteps no longer bothered the young man who was guarding the girl in front of him. He had gotten used to the smell after breathing in it for long hours.

Bin Guan felt the numbness in his thighs spread as his phone vibrated for the nth time. 'It's probably mom or Bin Ruo. Sigh, I already sent them a message telling to not disturb me while I'm waiting for Wei Na to wake up.'
Once again, he pressed the power button on the side of his phone to silence the call. His phone screen flashed as another missed call notification popped up. His dry, irritated eyes returned its attention to the girl who was sleeping just like an angel.
His breathing was consistent with her as he subconsciously followed her inhaling and exhaling process. 'She's still breathing. She's still warm. She will be okay. Definitely.' The tears inside him stirred his dry eyes as heat waves of mist blurred his vision. Her heaving chest and warm palms against his cheeks were his emotional support. As long as he saw decent vital signs on the machines, his mind could stay far away from wailing.
He took multiple deep breaths, not daring to rest his tired eyes for even a split second. Every little sound that the machine made were warning signals for him to be extra cautious around her. There had been a few times where he had to press the emergency button for assistance because her heart rate dropped below the standard vital numbers.
The lower her heart rates dropped, the more frightened he became. He has attended family funerals before, but never had he ever felt this type of indescribable pain hammered in his chest. Every needle and tube that he saw attached to the girl's fragile body made it feel like something monstrous was eating him inside out.
When he witnessed Chen Mu and nurses surrounding Wei Na, but all he could've done was wait outside for their diagnosis, he swore that his heart had stopped beating every time. It felt like the world was silent, dark, and lonesome.
Until the moment Chen Mu told him that her condition has stabilized, his fingers were reluctantly glued to his palms, forming a tight fist. Seeing the windows blocked from the outside, his body no longer remembered how to inhale and exhale as the owner of this body went into a high panic mode.
The benches right outside of Wei Na's room were cold, with no hints of anyone ever using it. The itch in Bin Guan's legs turned numb as he paced back and forth looking like a lost child who lacked security.
