Chapter 18
At the hospital lobby, Ram and Nicole are waiting for the other’s who bought food.
"Nike ." Ram called out at the now again silent Nicole since Maxim had gone home. Nicole just looks at him telling him 'what is it?'.
"Are there times when you're mute and not? After Maxim went home you became silent again." Ram said.
"It's nothing." Nicole answered.
"Oh come on! Tell me." Ram said.
Nicole just shook his head. He doesn't want to talk about it. Ram decided to just let the topic go, what’s important is he’s not being pushed away at the moment.

"Jagi! Wake up! Kinien's now awake!" Rhys woke Akizen up. It's Kinien's third day in the hospital.
"Huh? Really?! Where's he?" Akizen stood up in shock.
Rhys then smiled at him and looked at Kinien's room. Akizen then blew some air away before he stood up and walked to Kinien's room.
"Kinien." He called out.
"Akizen." Kinien said tears forming in his eyes.
"Waaaah! Kinien!" Akizen ran to Kinien and hugged him as the older hugged him, too.
"Ki-Waaah! Kinien!" They heard Nicole shout from the door and Nike ran to them and hugged them also.
"I missed you guys." Kinien said, now crying.
"We missed you, too." Akizen said.
"Right! We got a surprise for you." Nicole suddenly said.
"What is it?" Kinien asked.
"You'll see later." And Nicole winked at him.
"Can't wait for it." Kinien said, wiping his tears.
Ram and Rhys entered the room and hugged Kinien, too.
"How are you feeling now ?" Ram asked.
"Better." Kinien answered smiling.
"That's good. Thank God you're safe now." Rhys said.
"Yeah. We're all together again." Kinien said happily.
Then they just talked about stuff there then they heard people talking from outside and Nicole entered the room with a wide smile.
"What's with the smile?" Kinien asked, laughing.
"You'll see." Nicole answered.
Then Akizen also entered the room. Since when did they get out of the room anyway? Kinien thought.
"Ready for the surprise?" Akizen asked.
"The surprise? Right now?" Kinien asked excitedly.
"Yup." Akizen wiggled his eyebrows saying that and Kinien laughed while Rhys blushed thinking Akizen's too cute.
"Come in guys." Nicole said, motioning the people outside to come in.
Then Rio, Ray, Chris and Nikki entered. They greeted him and hugged him, too.
"Kinien! I'm so sorry! You can hit me if you’re angry or maybe stab me too or-" Nikki ran to him crying.
"Hey, hey. It's ok, I'm fine now, aren’t I, Nikki?" Kinien assured him.
Nikki still cried and the others laughed as Kinien couldn't stop Nikki from crying until Chris pulled Nikki and tapped his back to calm him down.
"I'm so happy you guys supported me." Kinien said.
"Anytime." Rio said.
"I appreciate this surprise guys." Kinien said but he feels a bit incomplete, he didn't know why.
"Eh? No. This is not ‘the’ surprise." Then Ray laughed. "Uhh... What's the surprise again?" He then added tilting his head on one side.
Everyone gave him a flat look except for Rio who thinks he's so cute doing that and Kinien laughing at Ray's forgetfulness.
"Kinien, this is our surprise." Chris said then opened the door revealing K.
"K?" Kinien asked, confused.
"Not me." K said laughing.
Then Kinien saw something from K's back.
"It's him." K continued then stepped aside showing Maxim. Kininen’s eyes widened.
"Max?" He blurted out.
Maxim then walked up to him and hugged him.
"Waaaah! Kinien, I'm so happy you're fine now." Maxim said.
"Yes. We're complete now. I missed you Max." Kinien said.
"I missed you, too." Maxim said. Then Nicole and Akizen joined their group hug.
"Aww~ they're so cute." Nikki said.
"Hey it's time for a group hug!" Rhys said.
And they did a group hug and ended up Akizen hugging Rhys, Rio holding Ray's hand, Nikki clinging on Chris' arms, K back hugging Maxim and Ram's arms around Nicole's shoulder.
"Oh. I smell something fishy here." Kinien said, laughing a little at what he's seeing.
"Well this is another surprise." Rhys said.
"He's my boyfriend now ." Akizen said.
"Rio and I are now dating, too." Ray said.
"Chris and I are together now." Nikki said.
"I got my Maxy’s heart." K said.
"Woah! I think I really missed a lot of things. I'm so happy for all of you!" Kinien said, smiling brightly.
"Yeah, you also missed this Nike saying yes to me." Ram said. Now all their attention is with him giving him a ‘since-when?’ look.
"Since when did that happen?" Nicole suddenly burst out.
"Last night." Ram said after laughing his ass off.
"What? How?" Akizen asked.
"Well, I slept and dreamt of it." Ram said proudly.
Akizen hit his arm and the others laughed at them.
Kinien looked at his friend's happy faces when he remembered what happened at the park’s bridge.
"Eyvin."
He remembered the last thing he said.
"Uhm… guys." He called out.
Now they all looked at him asking him why.
"Do you know who Eyvin is?"
