The result stopped Sehun's brain from functioning. It took him a long moment before finally finding his voice again. "I'm sorry.... I think I heard wrong."

The doctor shook his head. "No. You heard right. Ji Hani-ssi is taking drugs."

Sehun stood up abruptly. No matter how he despises his cousin, it doesn't mean he doesn't worry about her. He rubbed the bridge between his eyebrows furiously. "What kind of drugs?" He asked, feeling rather terrified to ask.

"Based from the result, the drugs that she used are different; if not wrong, each day. There are high possibility of sleeping drugs and some kind else like amphetamine. From what I see, she seemed to have been in diet, for she consumed amphetamine. You do know what amphetamine do, right?"

Sehun nodded. Of course he knew. It's one drug use in medical way, usually for obesity people to make them lose appetite. And when someone's like Hani consumes it, it would lead to some dangerous and critical situation.

She can die.

Sehun took a deep breath as the doctor continued talking. After the talk, Sehun went back to the hallway where Nana was waiting for him; as well as Hani's mom and his parents, who had come after Nana's call.

"Sehun, what did the doctor say!?" Aunt Ji rushed over Sehun and quickly asked him about it.

Sehun felt quiet all of the sudden. What can he tell Aunt Ji? Lie...? He shook his head. Aunt Ji would find out soon if he lie. It's better to just tell the truth.

"The doctor said that Hani consumed drugs." Sehun spoke out and the people fell into a silence.

Nana was shocked as fell open and one hand covered it. It was an unexpected news. Who would have thought...?

Aunt Ji seemed to be the most shocked one. Her face pale and it seemed as if her soul has disappeared from her.

"Auntie, are you okay?" Sehun asked worriedly. He had gone through the shockness, so it wasn't really affecting him.

Aunt Ji looked at Sehun, eyes full of tears. "Please tell me you're lying."

Sehun grew discomfort as he watched his aunt sobbed. He couldn't say he's lying that easy, when he wasn't. He wanted his aunt to overcome the burden feeling, but didn't say anything. He just didn't have anything to say.

A moment later, they all had crowded the room where Hani had been moved to. They had moved her to a private room.

Sehun was holding Nana's hand as they looked at the pale face of Hani.  She looked like a corpse, laying without moving a bit.

"Is she going to be okay?" Nana whispered, her body shaking softly.

Sehun planted a kiss on her hair and rubbed her upper arms. "She's going to be okay. The doctor said the drugs had wore off from her system."

Suddenly, Hani's finger started to move weakly and her eyes slowly fluttered open.

Aunt Ji quickly rushed to her side and hugged her. "Hani! You're awake! Thanks god!"

"O...omma?" She said weakly.

A gush of guilt washed over Sehun. If only he had been a little softer, maybe Hani wouldn't go to that extent of committing suicide.

For one hesitating moment, Sehun finally decided. Deciding something that would absolutely turn his life around and would definitely making him to hate himself. But nothing would do for now. He couldn't risk losing a cousin when he knew Aunt Ji has only Hani as her child. He had to do this. For the better.

But first of all, he had to talk to Nana.

"So, you're saying that you want to take care of Hani, even though you know all the possibility of what she could do to us?" Nana tried to ask as calmly as she could.

For the first time, he had actually felt scare of being near Nana. It wasn't the fact she was angry, but the fact she was so good in holding her anger. "Yes." Sehun squeaked, squeezing his eyes shut.

He really would want to find another option, but he couldn't find any. He knew Hani's obsession toward him was too much, and maybe horrifying, but he couldn't help but pity the younger girl. She could've been so much better if she wasn't this freaky.

Anyway, back to the point.

"Why? Why should you do that?" Nana asked, her anger was diminishing slowly as her voice grew weaker. "Couldn't we just find some other way to convince her that you're not the one? That she could be better if you aren't there?" Nana continued. "I'm sorry if I'm being selfish here, but I couldn't think of any reasons on why should you do that."

Sehun sighed. His wife just hit the right, weak spot in him. He never wanted Nana to be sad or anything moody, and this was definitely one of the reasons it was a bad idea to take care of Hani. But like he said, he had to do this until Hani actually willing to let him go. He had to do it or else, this kind of thing might just happened all over again, and no one actually would end up being happy.

Nana tried not to snap at him and made them quarrel, and she was doing quite well until;

"I have to do this."

"Why!? Why, Sehun!?" She screamed.

"I want us to be happy!" He reasoned calmly. He didn't want to fight with her.

They had never did, and even if they did, it wasn't for something as serious as this. Nana barely looked this miserable, and knowing that he was the reason behind it aching his heart. But he had tried to tell her the reason and wanted her to understand.

He really hoped she would.

This was for their happy ending. This is one of the ways to fight for their love. Couldn't she just see it?

Heaving a deep sigh, Sehun looked at Nana tiredly. "Nana." He spoke softly, walking slowly to her. He flinched when he noted that she was standind as straight as a statue. She was starting the silent treatment. "Please understand, this is for our happiness. I want to make you live the rest of your life without anyone like her, so please, just understand."

After another round of silence, Nana finally spoke, "...promise me that you'll be fine. I don't know what this woman is capable of, and I don't want to see you hurt."

"Promise." He said, embracing her in a warm hug.

Things just gotten worse.

He thought it would be fine once he took care of her, but without him knowing, it was just getting worse. Hani felt as if she stood another chance with him and started to plead him to spend the night in the hospital with her, saying that she had phobia being alone.

Hah. What a big fat liar.

If that's so, then how could she survive living on her own when she lived abroad?

But Sehun didn't notice it although he was slowly feeling annoyed with Hani's endless pleads to him. She was constantly pestering him that he couldn't even take a chance to call Nana and had a small chat, and she made sure he stayed over for the night in the hospital.

The doctor told him that it was better to follow Hani's desire, and thus he couldn't say anything. The doctor also stated that he was afraid if Sehun made one small mistake by not doing what Hani wanted, she might just try to suicide or hurt herself again.

It was painfully exhausting him.

Both mentally and physically. He tried to just forget the exhaustion by being optimist that one day, Hani would finally let him go.

But the reality is harsh. Hani got a hold on him right now because of his own stupidity.

So Nana is right. As always. If only he had listened to Nana before, maybe he wasn't being this tired and helpless.

"Oppa!"

Sehun naturally flinched at the voice as he slowly, painfully, turned around. Hani was limping towards him, which he found to be really ridiculous, since she hurt her wrist, not her ankle. He fought the urge to roll his eyes and asked, "Yeah?"

"Please help me to bring this." She pushed a backpack to him. "And please be careful, it contains our things."

The way she said 'o-u-r things' disgusted Sehun. Like seriously. What things did he has inside that backpack? He doubted he had a single thing there. This girl sure know how to make his annoyance duplicated.

He just walked away as a reply with the backpack in his hand. He didn't bother to glance at her once last time as she limped towards him. Which second later changed into running, since Sehun was already walking through the automatic door to outside.

"Oppa! Why do you walk so fast?" She whined.

Sehun let out a very depressed sigh, but unfortunately, the girl didn't notice. He once again ignore her question and threw the backpack to the back of the car.

"Oppa! I told you to take it carefully! It includes on how to put it!" She grumbled.

Finally, Sehun exploded. "SHUT UP, WOULD YOU!?"

Hani stopped from talking, but failed on closing it. Her eyes largen in both disbelief and shocked, unable to process what Sehun had just done. She couldn't believe that Sehun had just shouted at her. Telling her to shut up.

These past few days have been heaven for her since he was suddenly becoming nice to her, and she couldn't help but being thankful for this suicide she had done. If she didn't do this, Sehun wouldn't come back to her.

But then, suddenly, Sehun shouted at her. What's wrong with this guy, seriously?

"Oppa..."

"I'm sick, Hani! I'm sick!" Sehun screamed.

"Omo! Have you eaten medicine!?" Hani quickly went to his side, checking him.

He closed his eyes, trying to calm his overflowing emotion that threatened to explode right then. "No. I'm sick of this, Hani. I'm sick of being nice to you." He softly said, his voice was low, but Hani heard them well.

Immediately Hani's hands stopped moving and she slowly looked up. She still couldn't get the fact of what she heard. "I-I'm sorry?"

"You heard me. I said I'm sick of being nice to you."

"B-but..." Her tears fell.

"I've told you many times, Hani. You just won't listen." He decided it's best to tell her every words he had written on his mind, about his true feeling to him, and repeating it to his mind that he should be 'softer'. "I know in the back of your mind, where your clear conscience  lay, you know I and you wouldn't be. You know I love Nana. And only her."

Hani's eyes flared up. "So it's because of her, isn't it?"

Sehun shook his head. "No. It's me. Believe it or not, Nana and I started off badly. We were strangers and we were suddenly arranged to be married." He continued, "But then I started missing her and watching her more, and this feeling... this feeling just won't go away. It was just there, I don't know since when, craved in my heart and soul... for eternity." Sehun said. "And no matter what, even if Nana didn't come into my life, I still wouldn't choose you over any girl."

Hani tears rolling continously. "Can't you just give me a chance?"

Sehun rubbed his temple. "I would never. Aside the fact you're my cousin, I had only seen you as my sister. I couldn't picture you anywhere in my love life."

Hani felt her heart being stabbed. He couldn't see her that way. Whether Nana was there or not, he would never. Ever.

"Can I just hug you one last time, instead?" Hani finally found herself ask. Maybe it's really about time to give up. She knew Sehun was partly true though. About the back of her mind and clear conscience.

Sehun nodded and let her hug him.

Finally. Peace.

Or not.

"S-Sehun?"
