Cale's pov
He was working near basen's bed when he heard it "hyung-nim?" a weak and hoarse voice but definitely his baby brother's. He stopped working immediately in favour of being beside basen.
"Yes, hyung is here" he replied gently, while helping him to set up and drink water. After drinking water basen bust into tears, hugging him with basen's face pressed on to his chest like a baby.
"Hyung-nim, I am scared" he said between his sobs. He was rubbing his back comfortingly
"Shuu.. don't be scared, hyung is here isn't he?"
Basen's pov
When he woke up he was scared as there wasn't anyone beside him neither mother nor father, then he heard the faint sound of page tuning and shuffling when he turn his head, his hyung-nim was there wrapped in bandages but still working.
When he know that he is awake, he comes to him and help him drink water. 'he is really here, I wasn't imagining it' his hyung-nim was always so distenced but now he was with him taking care of him.
When basen started crying like a baby he didn't expect his hyung-nim to try to comfort him.
After crying for a long time,he started to get sleepy, fearing that when he wake up and found out it was all a dream where his hyung-nim wasn't with him, he tried to stay awake as if seeing his fear his hyung-nim promised him that he will be there when he wake up.
"Sleep, I will be here when you wake up"
"Promise?"
"Promise."

He was getting sleepy as well so he decided some sleep won't be so bad.
He woke up in a dark place no more like void there was anything there, not even a tiny ray of light.
Then he heard a voice that came nowhere and everywhere at the same time.
"Greetings to the last descendant of Thames"
"Who are you?" He asked with a voice that can freeze blood.
"Ho ho, as expected of someone who was able to hide his heritage for so long" the being said amusedly as if it was entertainment for him.
"Answer my question" he commanded like a surgeon in military.
"Of course of course, well you see I'm the mighty god of death" he replied smugly after clearing his throat as if expecting him to drop to his knees and beg for his forgiveness as if he would actually do that.
"What do you want from me?" He asked cooly as if it's just a normal tuesday.
"Really, at least react like you're surprised"
"Just answer my question now" he said inpatiently as if it's wasting his time, well it was wasting his nap time.
Sighing heavily he finally spoke "I want to make deal with you" professionally.
