Cure(09)
Hwanbi was restless since she got confined. Her life was back to being so boring, no arcades, no karaoke's, and especially no Kim Jaehwan.
But that's how life works, at first it'll give you a sht ton of happiness, then the next thing happens and it's all gone. Life is simply unfair.
The girl glanced at her sleeping mother. Atleast she never left her daughter's side, her father just made one visit. Hwanbi didn't want to bother her mother saying she'll go outside, so she left the room without a noise.
It was late afternoon, the sun will set soon. Hwanbi feels so lonely inside. Like a missing puzzle piece, that only one puzzle left to create a masterpiece. Jaehwan was the missing puzzle piece to Hwanbi's lonely art.
The girl sat on one of the hospital benches. Infront of her was the small pond.
"When do you think will I die?" The girl talked to the fishes. It looked funny, but to Hwanbi it was refreshing to tell someone her story.
The sun set and that's when Hwanbi decided to go back inside the hospital. Wishing it would be a school in a snap.
She passed by the CT Scan room, the door opening at the same time.
"Jaehwan?" The girl stopped from her tracks. Jaehwan was standing infront of her.
"H-Hwanbi? What are you doing here?" Jaehwan stuttered from nervousness. He could see how the girl's eyes glisten.
"So is this why you never visited me? You're sick too?" Hwanbi took a step closer to the boy. The doctor was still inside the CT scan room.
"I didn't know you were confined." Jaehwan motioned for them to sit in the waiting bench. Hwanbi looked down never meeting Jaehwan's eyes as they sat.
"Ahh... I understand. You were absent before I got confined." Jaehwan nodded unsure of what to say next. The only noise was from the busy bodies of the hospital.
"I have lung cancer stage 4." Hwanbi finally said, breaking the awkward silence between her and Jaehwan. The boy took a moment to realize what the girl just said.
"Y-you have what?" Jaehwan lifted his head and stared at Hwanbi with wide eyes. Hwanbi looked at Jaehwan without the same confidence before.
"I have lung cancer stage 4. Do I have to repeat again?" A tear fell from Hwanbi's face. She didn't want Jaehwan to know, but knowing that Jaehwan isn't there for her all the time she grabbed all the courage to reveal it.
"I-I'm sorry—"
"Why are you sorry? Are you sorry because I can't live longer anymore? Do you pity me now?" Her tears were falling continuously. Jaehwan moved closer to wipe Hwanbi's tears. Clutching her face in his pretty hands.
"It's not that. I said sorry because I'm just the same." It was Hwanbi's turn to look at Jaehwan wide-eyed.
"W-What are you talking about?" The girls heart raced. She was starting to feel scared of what Jaehwan's about to say next.
"I was diagnosed with kidney cancer last year." That was when Hwanbi felt her soul almost leave her body.
She feared that her nightmares happen.
