"T-Tell me? Tell me what?"
"Noona..." Hyunsuk stared at the hyung. "She's dying."
Junhyung stared at Hyunsuk blankly before snapping out of his blank thought, "Yah! Don't you joke about your sister like that."
Even if he was very angry and mad at Hyuna and even if he hated Hyuna, he would never joke about something like that.
"Ani, hyung. I'm not joking." Hyunsuk said calmly, as if he was prepared to tell Junhyung everything.
Junhyung looked at Yoseob who now had his head lowered before turning back at Hyunsuk.
"N-Noona has leukimia. She's dying, hyung. She doesn't have much time left."
"Yah! I told you not to joke about her like that." Junhyung stared at the younger boy in disbelief. He didn't want to believe it. He was in denial.
He wanted to scold the younger one one more time until Hyunsuk shed a tear. He then knew that it was all real.
Leukimia.
Wait, what, how, why. He was confused. She never said anything.
"It's been almost two years now and she isn't getting any better." Hyunsuk said with a sad tone.
Junhyung's eyes widened.
"T-Two ye-years?" Junhyung asked. So all these times she was sick? He still couldn't believe it. He was still trying to process all these in his mind.
Hyunsuk nodded reluctantly.
"I-Is it curable?" Junhyung asked, his heart beat fast, hoping that it was all just a mere lie.
"We've been waiting for a bone marrow donor and never got the match for her. We've been waiting for a long time in NY while noona got her treatments, but..." Hyunsuk paused. "It's too late now. Even if we got a match, the possibility of surviving is very low."
Junhyung felt his heart almost jumped out of his chest. Was that why Hyuna left to NY? So all these times he was misunderstanding her.
"D-Don't they have a good doctor there? I'm sure she can be cured, can't she?" Junhyung asked.
Hyunsuk only shook his head reluctantly. "The possibility of success is below 20%, Hyung."
Junhyung felt as if someone just stabbed him in his heart. How could this be?
No.. No..
"Wae?" Junhyung grabbed Hyunsuk's collar. "Why didn't you tell me sooner? Why, Hyunsuk-ah? Why are you telling me this now?"
Hyunsuk let out some tears. "I'm sorry, Hyung. Noona asked me not to. She believes that she will be cured so she could go back to you. She always does."
Junhyung let go of his hands. He felt like the worst jerk ever. He felt his heart numb. He started sweating and tears started forming in his eyes.
"Hyung! She's been suffering by herself. She was in so much pain, but she endured it. She knew she misses you so much, but she never ever wanted to call you. She didn't want you to worry for her. She said that if she heard your voice, it would make her weak and she would want to go back to Korea. So she never did, Hyung. She wants you to follow your dream. She thinks a lot about you. I always saw her crying quietly by herself. I feel bad, Hyung. I don't like it." Hyunsuk cried. "She must feel so lonely."
And that only made Junhyung feel even more in pain and uneasy. He had been treating her badly without even knowing the real reason of why she left. He focused on himself too much, on his pain. He never let Hyuna explain.
"A couple months ago, she requested to come back to Korea. Mother only agreed to it if noona agreed to get her treatments here, while we were still looking for donors. So she came back by herself. I just found out today that she never went for treatments. She's been in cube ever since she came back. I know she must have missed you so much that she was brave enough to do that, but I don't know if she was doing the right things because it could affect her condition so much."
Junhyung clenched his fist. Tears streamed down his cheek. Pabo, Hyuna. Pabo.
Yoseob tried to comfort Junhyung by putting an arm on his shoulder. He knew the pain his hyung was feeling. He knew how bad Junhyung must have felt for mistreating Hyuna like that.
"Hyung! We have to find her. I know she left because she didn't want us to feel burdened by her. Noona is always like that. She only thinks about other people before her. We have to find her, hyung! I don't want
