"Dear!"
"Sooyeon's gone!" exclaimed Mrs Jung worriedly as she dashed into the room.

Mrs Jung's eyes were sharp enough the catch a note on the table.
Walking over to it, Mr and Mrs Jung read the paper in tears.

To my favourite best loving dearest yet beloved parents;

Im sorry for being brought into this world by you two..
Im sorry for the trouble attention that i've caused.
I'll leave now.
You wont look for me, will you?
Dont bother looking for me omma and appa..
I just need you two to live happily..
Because i'll probably leave this world soon..
Yes, i've removed the word 'probably'.
Appa said theres no 'if's in this world.
And 'if's are like 'probably'.

Always loving you.
I'll watch over your health as soon as im gone from this world.

Your daughter,
Sooyeon.

"Looks like she really thought over her words while writing this letter" muttered Mr Jung worriedly.
"Look at the number of crossings she did"

Mrs Jung threw the paper aside and ran out of the room,
towards the exit of the mansion.

"Dear!"
"Find her!"
"Sooyeon's really weak now, she cant run far!!" shouted Mrs Jung as she ran out of the mansion.

Running around the huge mansion, Mr Jung finally found Jessica.
She was lying motionless on the greeny grass patch,
not moving a single bit.
It was chilling for her, to be in a long sleeve knitted top and a pair of jeans.
Mr Jung quickly picked up and ran back into the mansion, back into Jessica's room,
with Mrs Jung behind him.

Mrs Jung sat beisde Jessica's bed and caressed her face, the pale face.
The face Mrs Jung havent been looking and watching for the past 18 years.

"Silly girl, arent you?"
"What makes you think we wont go around looking for you?" whispered Mrs Jung lovingly.
"You're our only daughter"

"Dear, lets not leave this room till Sooyeon wakes up"
"Im afraid she'll run away again"
"Her condition is reall weak that she fainted thrice today"
"Im worried" said Mr Jung with a worried frown.

"I know, i've intended to stay here and comfort her" replied Mrs Jung softly.
"Dear, could you stay here and look after Sooyeon?"
"She's boiling and she might be having fever dreams again"
"Hold onto her hands, and caressed it while comforting her when it comes"
"She might hears it and feel better" instructed Mrs Jung concernly.

"Where are you going then?"

"Im going to cook her some porridge in case she wakes up"

"Why not ask the maid to cook it for her?"

"I havent been committing my job as an omma to her"
"Im going to start now" said Mrs Jung as she turned for the door.

45 minutes later, Mrs Jung came back up to Jessica's room,
with a bowl of iced water and two pieces of towel.

"Dear, excuse yourself"
"I need to get Sooyeon's temperature down as well as to change her clothes to something comfortable"

Mr Jung nodded with a weak smile and left the room.
Closing the door behind him, he let out a guilty sigh.

"Sweetie.." called Mrs Jung gently as she twisted the towel.
"Omma's gonna take care of you now okay?"
"This will feel uncomfortable, but omma has to do it to make you feel better okay?" whispered Mrs Jung as she started wiping Jessica with the ice towel, one after another.

During the whole process, Jessica was crying in her sleep,
calling out to her mum, telling her how much pain she was,
how cold she was as tears streamed down her face.
Mrs Jung couldnt help, but cry with Jessica as she changed Jessica's clothes.
Her heart sank even further after seeing the purple bruises all over Jessica's body.
Especially the big purple patches.
It was new, obviously.
Must be because of her falling over and over that causes those bruises.

After wiping Jessica's body with the ice towel after much struggle,
Mrs Jung took the other new towel and put it over Jessica's forehead.
She had to change the towels to extremely clean ones because of Jessica's weakened immune system.

"Sweetie.."
"Sorry, omma havent been a good omma to you.."
"Will you wake up now and listen to omma and appa?" sobbed Mrs Jung sadly as she held onto Jessica's burning hands,
caressing Jessica's pale cheeks.

An hour later, Jessica had slowly regained consciousness but was shocked to be back in her room,
her bed.
And what shocked her most was her parents, they were by her side,
dozed off.
Jessica's hands were held by Mrs Jung, it was a warm touch but Jessica was afraid.
Afraid to approach them, as a natural reaction,
she immediately took her hands back from Mrs Jung's grasp.
Felt the slight movement, Mrs Jung slowly sat up and rubbed her eyes opened to see Jessica staring at her with teary fear stricken eyes.

"Omma.." whispered Jessica weakly.
"Please dont send me to the US.."
"Please.."
"I wanna be here with you two.."
"Im sorry for not attending school.."
"Please, i'll do anything but please.."
"Dont chase me away.." cried Jessica sadly.
"I cant leave.."
"My body didnt allow me to disappear from you two.."
"Im sorry.."
"I'll leave as soon as im able to.."
"Im sorry.."
"Really sorry.."

Mrs Jung's eyes, her tears were flowing down her face.
Flowing down the face of hers, looking at how sad and apologetic her daughter was even though its not her fault.

"Shh.."
"Sweetie, just rest okay..?"
"We wont force you to US anymore"
"We want you to rest now okay?" comforted Mrs Jung as she sat on Jessica's bed and hugged her tightly.

Mr Jung, who had already woken up from his sleep,
smiled, relieved to see Jessica conscious.

"We're sorry, Sooyeon"
"We're-"

Jessica started coughing really badly,
every cough hurts.

"Are you okay?"
"Do you need the doctor?!" asked Mr Jung worriedly as he rushed over to Jessica's side and patted her back gently.

Jessica looked at Mr and Mrs Jung with a dumbfounded look at their sudden concern.

"You knew..?" asked Jessica slowly.

"Why didnt you tell us?"
"Sweetie, why?"
"You know you can tell us right?" said Mrs Jung with a hurt look.

Jessica's head casted downwards, averting her gaze.

"I never had time with you.."
"Neither of you.." whispered Jessica softly, with sadness in her voice.
"I was admitted into the hospital.."
"The first time when i dislocated my shoulders.."
"You scolded me.."
"The second time, i was admitted.."
"It was 8days ago.."
"You said i was just.."
"Just gaining your attention.."
"Appa told the butler.."
"It was just something and theres.."
"Nothing to fuss about.." added Jessica softly, barely audible for anyoone who is 10 steps away from her.

"We're sorry Sooyeon"
"We truly are" said Mr Jung guiltily.
"We didnt have enough time for you"
"We're sorry we've neglected you"

"We're sorry sweetie"
"Omma will be with you from now on"
"Omma promise"

Jessica's eyes lit up upon hearing Mrs Jung's promise.
But it was short lived as her expression dropped.

"It must be because of my illness right..?"
"If it didnt even exist.."
"You two wouldnt be bother, would you..?"
"Im not important to you two right..?"
"Haraborji forced you two to be here for me right..?" asked Jessica but ended up with yet another painful coughing fit.

Mrs Jung sighed.

"We're not"
"Sweetie, yes we've been scolded by haraborji"
"But thats not the reason we're here"
"We'll be by your side no-"

"Dont lie.."
"You know, you know im dying.."
"I told you what if my lifespan will end soon.."
"You two said it wasnt important.."
"Dont, dont give me false hope please omma and appa.." said Jessica with her tears filled yet sad stricken face.

Mrs Jung held up her hands and wiped the tears off Jessica's face with her thumbs.

"What do you want us to do sweetie?"
"Its breaking us inside to see you in this state"
"Its really breaking us"
"Its breaking us inside out, to see you like this"
"Unable to trust us anymore.."

"We're your parents Sooyeon"
"How can you not be important to us?"
"I answered that it wasnt important because i thought you were just asking and nothing is wrong"
"I didnt know you are really sick Sooyeon"
"You're important to us"

Jessica mocked bitterly at her parents.

"Im important because of your business right..?"
"No one to inherit your business..?"
"Its okay, you can just go out and get another woman and bear your another child.."
"This time round, find a healthy woman because im leaving this world soon.."
"But dont worry, whoever that is related to you, i'll watch over them then.."
"They will definitely have the healthiest health ever"

Mr Jung's face was burning red with anger.
He was mad at how her daughter described him.
With a slap, it landed hard of Jessica's face.
A metallic taste were felt with Jessica's tongue.
Jessica smirked.

"See..?"
"Lies, isnt it..?" laughed Jessica weakly, but mockingly at herself.
"Afterall, im still an unwanted, unloved kid.."

"Dear, what are you doing?!" whispered Mrs Jung in shock as she waved Mr Jung away.

Mrs Jung knew that patients going through chemotheraphy,
will be facing a lot of mood swings because of the treatments that made them uncomfortable and pain.

"Sweetie, are you hurt?" asked Mrs Jung worriedly as she examined Jessica's reddened cheeks and her cut lips.

Gently touching on it, Jessica winced slightly with her eyes closed.

"Wait here okay?" said Mrs Jung as she went out of the room and came a few minutes later with a first aid kit in her hands.

Taking a few cotton buds and medication out, Mrs Jung slowly applied it on Jessica's cut.
Blowing it lightly on it, so that it wont sting that much.
After a few minutes, Mrs Jung kept the first aid kit and came back to Jessica.
This time round, she was in tears.

"Whats wrong sweetie?" asked Mrs Jung worriedly as she sat beside Jessica.
"Are you in pain?"

Jessica immediately jumped onto Mrs Jung with a huge weak hug.
Crying and crying on Mrs Jung's shoulders.
Mrs Jung couldnt do anything but just slowly caressed Jessica's back.

"Omma.."
"Cheogmal chaeseonghamnida.."
"I didnt.. i didnt mean.."
"To say those.. words.."
"Appa.. must hate me.. now right..?"
"Im sorry.. help me tell appa.."
"Im sorry.." sobbed Jessica sadly.

"Sweetie, how silly could you get?"
"Your dad will never be mad at you"
"He's blaming himself for not being able to take care of you"
"Dont blame him for slapping you okay?" cooed Mrs Jung warmly, caressing her daughter in her arms.

Its been so long, for dont know how long that Jessica felt this warmth.
This family warmth.

"Im really.. sorry.."
"Appa.."
"I dont know.. i dont know what came.. over me.."
"Does appa.. wanna see me now..?"

Mrs Jung broke the hug and flashed Jessica a small smile.

"Wait here"

Few minutes later, Mrs Jung entered the room with Mr Jung behind.
With a soft sigh, Mr Jung sat on the bed.

"Appa.." cried Jessica sadly.
"Sorry.."
"Cheongmal.. chaeseonghamnida.." apologised Jessica as tears formed a river on her face.

Mr Jung pulled Jessica into a warm hug.

"You're the one"
"Only one"
"Only child i have Sooyeon"
"I wont, will never get anyone to get me another child"
"Your mum, you are the most important in my life"
"You get it?"

Jessica nodded softly.

"So you better live alright?" added Mr Jung with a smile as he broke the hug.
"Come, let me look at your cheeks"
"Appa's heart is hurting for slapping you" said Mr Jung as he examined Jessica's reddened lips and cut lips.

Mr Jung sighed softly.

"Appa, kwenchana"
"Its not painful at all"
"Really" said Jessica with a weak smile.

"Sooyeon, get back on the bed and rest okay?"
"You're still burning up"
"Do you want anything to eat first?" asked Mr Jung, trying to avoid Jessica's comforting words.

"Sweetie, omma has cooked you some porridge"
"Do you want to have it?"

Jessica nodded slightly and Mrs Jung went out to the kitchen and came back with a tray in her hands.
Settling the tray down, Mr Jung let Mrs Jung take over his seat.
Mrs Jung, holding onto the bowl of porridge was blowing the porridge,
trying to cool it down so that Jessica could eat it.

Jessica's hands immediately went over to get the bowl of porridge from Mrs Jung but was rejected.

"Stay"
"Omma will feed you"
"You're too weak to hold this" said Mrs Jung strictly.
"Come ahhh~"

Jessica obediently followed and took a few mouthful of Mrs Jung's porridge.
Its been dont know how long since Jessica had eaten something cooked by Mrs Jung.
But after a few mouth, Jessica's stomach starting turning upside down.

Covering , Jessica dashed into the bathroom.
Throwing up sounds were heard from the bathroom as Mr and Mrs Jung hurriedly followed Jessica into the bathroom.

"Sweetie, are you alright?" asked Mrs Jung worriedly, patting Jessica's back gently as she emptied her stomach contents.

Jessica nodded weakly, not leaving the toilet bowl.

"Sweetie, are you sure?"
"Do you want to go back to the hospital?"

Jessica immediately turned back to her parents,
her eyes gotten real teary again.

"No, please.."
"Omma.. please dont bring me back.."
"Please.." pleaded Jessica in tears weakly.

Mrs Jung couldnt help but felt really sad about Jessica's situation.
She immediately pulled Jessica into an embrace, patting her back gently.

"I know.."
"I know its hard on you sweetie" whispered Mrs Jung softly.
"Please, please dont give up sweetie"
"We're here for you"
"We dont want to see you leaving us"
"Not just yet"
"There are a lot of things we are to do together, as a family, sweetie" added Mrs Jung softly, caressing Jessica's hair.

"Omma.."
"Its horrible.."
"Everything.."

"I know i know"
"Its all our fault, we should have stayed by your side"
"We didnt know, we didnt put in an effort to know"
"But now, we'll try our best alright?" said Mrs Jung lovingly as she broke the hug.

"We'll try our best"
"To be there for you, everything" agreed Mr Jung with a smile.

Bending over to the floor, Mr Jung swiftly picked Jessica up in bridal style and carried her back to her bed.

"Appa.."
"Dont do this, its gonna hurt your back"
"I dont weigh like a feather" said Jessica worriedly.

Mr Jung chuckled.

"Weigh like a feather?"
"You totally weigh nothing to me now"
"How can you be worried about me when i should be the one worrying for you silly?"

Jessica's head casted downwards guiltily.

"Hey look" started Mr Jung as he lifted Jessica's chin up.
"Appa wants you to be all healthy, you get me?"
"You've got to win this battle, and we are sure you can do this"

"Appa.."
"Its impossible.."
"My leukemia.."
"Its already stage 3 leukemia, turning to 4 soon judging at my faster cancer growing speed"

"Shh.."
"You wont, appa and omma wont let you go"
"You hear us?"

"Sweetie, dont think of anything alright?"
"Just receive the treatment, everything will be fine" said Mrs Jung as she started popping pills out from the different packets of medicine.
"Here, take these" added Mrs Jung as she passed the pills over to Jessica and a cup of water.

With a gulp, Jessica swallowed all the pills.
A parents instinctive move, Mrs Jung immediately put her hand over Jessica's forehead,
feeling for her temperature.

"Sweetie, you're fine?"
"You're still burning up really badly" said Mrs Jung with a worried frown.

"Im fine omma"
"Please, please stop worrying about me"
"As long as you're here, i'll be fine"

"Silly, how can we stop worrying?"
"We werent worrying for you for the past years"
"And now, its our-"

Mr Jung was interupted by Jessica's sudden coughing fit.
It sounded pretty painful as Jessica coughed.
Her body was literally bending over, at the huge coughing fit.

"Does it hurt?" asked Mrs Jung worriedly as she sat down beside Jessica.
"You should really rest now"
"I think you've caught a cold"
"We dont know how long have you fainted outside" said Mrs Jung as she helped Jessica back onto the bed,
tucking her in.

"Chaeseonghamnida omma.. and appa" said Jessica softly with a guilt in her eyes.

Mrs Jung brushed off Jessica's fringe and caressed her burning pale cheeks.

"Look, you have nothing to be sorry about"
"We're the ones that should be saying sorry sweetie"

Jessica shook her head slightly.

"Aniya"
"Im sorry omma, appa"
"Im sorry for worrying you two"
"Im sorry for everything i've done" said Jessica with apologetic eyes.

Mr and Mrs Jung sighed.
It was supposed to be them apologising,
but why is it that in turn was Jessica apologising?
It seems like old Mr Jung was right, Jessica had thought of them in almost every single way.

"Okay sweetie"
"Omma wants you to sleep now, you understand me?" said Mrs Jung strictly yet lovingly.

Jessica nodded slightly and closed her eyes.
Minutes later, she had drifted into her slumberland.

Over at Yuri's side, as promised,
she went over to the hospital to collect Jessica's lab report from the doctors.

"For now, its a good news for Jessica-sshi" said the doctors with a smile.
"The treatment, has shown a control for her cancer cells"
"Her cancer cells were spreading as much and fast as it was inititally"

"Jinjja?!"

The doctors nodded with an assuringly smile.

"However, this is just the first cycle"
"Like we've said, cancer is something unpredictable"
"Yes, now it is showing something good but doesnt mean it will stay put"
"So we have to monitor it as soon as she comes back for her second cycle"
"We'll discuss with the new doctors about her stronger treatment" said the doctors with a nod.

"New doctors?"

"Jessica-sshi's parents had finally learnt about her illness"
"They've contacted specialist over the world for Jessica-sshi"
"They will be in liase with us to treat her"

"Sounds good"
"What are the success rate?"

"Well, that have to depend on Jessica-sshi herself"
"As well as her mindset and everything" said the doctors with a helpless shrug.

"Arasso"
"Kamsahamnida doctors" said Yuri with a slight bow before exiting the hospital and back into her car,
with a brown coloured envelope in her hands.

Yuri was grinning to herself happily at the news she heard from the doctors.

"Pabo sweetheart"
"See what i've told you?" whispered Yuri happily under her breath.

Back at the castle, Yuri was humming happily as she danced back into her lounge room.
Plopping herself down onto the couch, with YoonSun beside her,
eyes fixed on the television.

Whats there to doubt?
Games of course!

Taeyeon and Tiffany, who were surfing the net saw the exceptionally happy Yuri entering the room,
put their laptops down and walked over to Yuri with a weird look.

"Whats wrong with you?"
"Are you that happy to be separated with Jessi?" asked Tiffany with a disapproving look.

Yuri grinned and shook her head.

"Then?" asked Taeyeon curiously.

Yuri brought up the brown envelope with a huge grin plastered on her face.

"Look!"
"Lab report!"

Tiffany immediately snatched it from Yuri's hands,
fishing the report out but the expression on her face was hilarious because she couldnt understand a single thing.
Yuri watched, and burst into laughters.

"Tae, you should educate your beloved on this some time soon" said Yuri with a chuckle.

Taeyeon rolled her eyes and swiftly got the report from Tiffany's hands.
Glancing through the report for a minute, Taeyeon's frown turned into a smile.

"Whats wrong with Jessi's report?" asked Tiffany worriedly, shaking Taeyeon's shoulder.

Taeyeon turned and hugged Tiffany with a huge grin.
YoonSun turned and stared at the two with a dumbfounded expression.

"Jessica, her treatment is working"
"Her cancer cells didnt spread as much and fast after the treatment"
"If its going to continue this way, this might work out for her" smiled Taeyeon assuringly, giving Tiffany an encouraging pat on her back.

"Really?!"
"Am i hearing things?!"

"Of course not, baby doll"
"This is something serious"
"Why would i lie to you?"

"Tae unnie"
"Is that true?!"
"Then we should all go down to Jessica's house and tell her the good news!" exclaimed Yoona excitedly as she threw her controller aside.

"Yeah we should!" agreed Sunny, doing the same thing that Yoona just did.

Everyone was prepared to leave the room when Yuri dashed forward and stopped them.
Yuri's long arms were spread widely, blocking the door.
YoonSun and TaeNy threw her a questioning look.

"What are you doing, Yul?"

"Jessica says she doesnt want to be bothered with her lab report"
"And i've promised her i'll only tell her when i meet her on the day im bringing her back to the hospital"
"I dont want to break my promise one after another" said Yuri firmly.

"But its a good news, Yul unnie" whined Yoona with a pout.

Yuri shook her head firmly.

"No means no"
"None of you are to go"
"If i were to find out, im going to snap your necks" warned Yuri sternly.
"I mean it" added Yuri with a menacing glare.

TaeNy and YoonSun backed off with a loud sigh.

"Arasso"
"Dont glare at us like this"
"We wont go alright?" surrendered Sunny, pulling Yoona back to the couch.

"Yuri, you're getting so fierce and protective because of Jessi" grumbled Tiffany as she pulled Taeyeon back to their laptops.
