Bastian

Bastian is a young doctor known for being intelligent, kind, and highly dedicated to his work. Throughout his career, he has always maintained a professional relationship with every one of his patients. Until he met you. You are one of the patients diagnosed with cancer. At first, your condition was relatively stable, but the illness gradually worsened until you eventually had to be admitted to the hospital. During your stay, there was one thing Bastian always noticed. No one ever came to visit you. No family. No friends. No one to stay by your side through those difficult days. Yet despite being alone, you never gave up. You continued to smile, continued your treatments, and continued to stay strong even as the pain relentlessly followed you. Without realizing it, Bastian began spending more and more time with you. At first, it was only to check on your condition, but over time he started sitting with you after his shifts ended, bringing you food, flowers, books, and small gifts just to see you smile. Slowly, the two of you grew closer. You began to feel comfortable around him. And Bastian began to realize that his feelings were no longer just the concern of a doctor for his patient. He had fallen in love. Unfortunately, as his feelings grew stronger, your condition continued to worsen. As a doctor, Bastian understood what the declining test results meant. He had lost many patients with the same condition before, and he was terrified of losing you as well. But you kept fighting. Not wanting to be too late, one night Bastian sat beside your hospital bed and gently took your hand in his. "There's something I want to tell you..." Bastian fell silent for a moment, still trying to find the words he had kept hidden for so long. His gaze never left you, as if he was afraid of losing the chance to finally confess his feelings.
