Chaerin and Dara together with the others returned to Seoul after their Vacation in Hawaii, the couple are both happy that everything went smooth between them until their last day on the resort though they still don't know their true feelings for each other, both of them promised that in right time and right place, they will telleach other what they really feel. Dara return to working in the Supermarket while Chaerin manages the three company she wanted to have, she's happy right now but the true meaning of her happiness is Dara

3 weeks later..

At the Supermarket

Bom's doing her rounds early that morning when she notices that Dara is sitting in one of the boxes massaging her head

"Hey Dara.." she said, Dara who heard her voice immediately stand up and smile at her Unnie

"Unnie, Good MOrning.." she answered, Bom look at her intently, she sense that Dara is not feeling well

"Are you okay?" she asked, she place her palm on Dara's forehead

"I'm okay Unnie, i'm just sleepy, that's all.." Dara answered

"Why? Are you having trouble sleeping?"

"Uhm yeah Unnie, but i'm fine, honest.."

"Why don't you go to the doctor and let them check on you"

"No Unnie, i'm fine.." Chaerin who just came in heard their conversation

"Are you okay baby?" she asked, Bom and Dara both look at her, the latter smiled

"I'm fine baby, nothing to worry.." Dara answered

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, wait i'll be right back, i just need to get some items on the back.." Dara waved at the two and left them for a while

"Try to convince her to see a doctor, i saw dark circles around her eyes.." Bom said to Chaerin

"I will Unnie, don't worry.."

"She's not like that, honestly speaking Chae, i've seen her for the past 3 weeks always massaging her head or taking a quick nap at the employees lounge.." Chaerin look at Bom then to were Dara was standing a while ago

"Do you think she have a problem?" she asked

"I don't know, haven't you talk to her lately?"

"We always talk every night then we'll go to sleep around 10.." Bom didn't said a word

"But don't worry, i'll talk to her later and i'll convince her to see a doctor.."

6:30 pm

Chaerin parked her car in front of Dara's apartment building

"Baby come on, i told you im fine.." Dara said, she knows that Chaerin is worried about her, Chaerin look at her

"Okay let's make a deal, i'll make  a promise to you that if i don't feel better tomorrow, i will go to see a doctor.."

"Promise?" Chaerin said, Dara smiled at her

"Promise baby.." Chaerin smiled at her and hug her tight

"Sorry, i'm just worried about you.."

"I understand that but i'm healthy as a horse.." Chaerin laugh at Dara's joke then broke the hug

"I'll see you tomorrow baby, eat first then rest okay?"

"Yes baby, you do the same and call me once you get home.." Chaerin nodded her head, Dara grab her bag and was about to pull the handle on the door when she face Chaerin again ang hug her tight, Chaerin was surprised on the sudden hug

"Hey baby, what's wrong?" Chaerin asked, she hug her back and caressing her back

"Nothing baby, i'm just lucky and happy to have you.." she said, almost a whisper, Chaerin smiled

"Same here baby, you go now so you can eat your dinner already.." Dara smiled at her and went out of the car, Chaerin turn the ignition on and wave at her then drove off, Dara on the other hand felt a guilt inside her

'I'm sorry Chae, i'm really really sorry..' she whispered and head towards inside

10:00 pm

Dara is sitting on the couch in their living room, Chaerin just ended the call so she can rest, she look at the clock, she still have 20 minutes left before she leave their apartment, she stand up and head towards Mi-na and Minji's room, she slowly open the door and stare at her two sister, she sigh deeply as she closes the door

I don't know if what i did is right or wrong?

She grab her bag and head towards the door, she once again look at the bedroom door of Minji and Mi-na

They are going to be mad for sure if they found out what i'm doing

With a heavy heart, she silently close the door and head downstairs, she fish out her phone and type in some words into it

Sleeptight my baby, i'll see you tomorrow. I Love You

She press the send button and waited for it to be sent, she put it back on her pocket and when she reach th front gate, she already saw a taxi waiting for her, for the past 2 weeks this is always her routine every night. She pulled the handle of the door and get inside the taxi

"Good evening Ms. Park.." said the driver, Dara bow her head a bit and smiled faintly

"Good evening Mr. Lee.." she answered, the driver started to drive as Dara look outside the window

I'm only doing this for them, for Mi-na. I should have said it to Chaerin and the others but.. but..

She sigh again, though she's so tired and wanted to get some sleep, she knows she couldn't, she needs to do this in order for her sister to get well, as the taxi drove off, Dara didn't know that Minji saw her getting inside the taxi

"Where will Unnie go?" she asked herself

Early next Day (4:45 am)

Dara's tired body was about to collapse because of lack of sleep and fatigue, she fasten her pace going upstairs, she only has 2 hours and 30 minutes of sleep before her shift starts at the supermarket. She grab her keys inside the bag and slowly open the door, she close it but she was surprise to see Minji sitting on the couch

"Minji?" she said, Minji didn't said a word, she's just looking at her Unnie

"W-what are you doing here? Why are you up so early?" Dara added trying to ignore the look her sister is giving her

"I think i'm the one who suppose to ask you that question, Unnie.." Minji answered, Dara stop on her tracks and look at her sister

"Where have you been?" Minji asked again, Dara who don't know what she'll say continue her walk towards the kitchen

"Unnie.." Minji said again

"I uhm went for a jog.." Dara said, she place her bag on the table and took a glass and pour in some water

"For a jog? Are you sure about that?" Minji asked again, Dara nodded her head

"you can't fool me Unni. I've been hearing noises for two weeks now every past ten in the evening, at first i thought it was you, i thought that you can't sleep or you want to watch some shows or movies on the TV.." Minji explained

"But on the 7th night, i saw you went out of the door. I didn't follow you, i said to myself that you wanted to talk to Chaerin-Unnie on the phone oustide or she's

downstairs. So i went back to my bed but then i realize that you haven't come back for 6 hours or so. Then last night, i saw you went out and got inside the taxi.." she continued, Dara widen her eyes, she caught off guard of what she heard from Minji

"Minji.." Dara said

"Just answer me Unnie, what are you doing outside and where have you been for the last two weeks??!"

*****

3 weeks ago

Minji and Mi-na went home from school early that day, Dara received a phone call from Minji saying that Mi-na is not feeling well, she's having a trouble from breathing that day, Dara told Bom about it so the latter decided to let Dara have the rest of the day off

"What happened?" Dara asked Mi-na as soon as she arrive at the apartment

"I-i can't breath, Unnie.." she said, Dara look at her face, it's a lot more paler

"Her professor came in to our class and talked to me, Unnie.." Minji said, holding a glass of water

"Okay, okay. Minji you wait here while i bring Mi-na to the hospital.." Dara said, she throw her bag on the couch

"Can i come?" Minji asked, Dara knows that she's worried with their little sister

"Stay here okay, don't worry, she'll be fine. I need you here in the house.." Dara explained, Minji nodded her head and help Mi-na get up

"Can you walk?" Dara asked her, Mi-na nodded her head, they went outside and head downstairs

"Call me Unnie okay?" Minji said, she open the door of the taxi and follow the taxi with her eyes as it drove off

Dara and Mi-na are patiently waiting for the laboratory result that the doctor asked them to do, she hold the hand of her sister who is sleeping now on her lap, she prayed that her sister will be okay and there's no serious about her illness, then she saw  nurse coming towards them

"Ms. Park?" the nurse asked

"Yes?"

"Mr. Jin wants to talk to you for a second.." she said, Dara noddd her head and wake up Mi-na

"I'll talk to you doctor okay, stay here and wait for me, i'll be back in a bit.."

"Okay Unnie.." Mi-na answered, Dara smiled at her and follow the nurse to where it's heading then she saw that they went inside a office and saw Mr. Jin there, sitting and waiting for her

"Dr. Jin?" Dara said, Dr. Jin look at her and motiong for her to sit down on the chair in front of him

"Well Ms. Park, i already got the result.." he said while looking at the papers on his table

"Apparently ther's a problem with your sisters heart and lungs.." he said and look at her, Dara's heart starts to bat fast

"P-problem doctor?" she asked, Dr. Jin nodded his head

"There's a blockage in one of her arteries in the heart that causes palpitation and chest pain, it affects the lungs too which causes your sister for having trouble breathing.." Dr. Jin explained, he look at Dara and saw the worry look on her face

"But we don't need to operate on your sister, i'll give you some medication so the blockage can be clear, it's good that you brought her here before it got worst.."

"Are you sure doctor that you don't need to--" Dr. Jin cut her off

"Yes Ms. Park though the medicine i'll give to you is expensive but your sister will be fine after. And she'll going to have some maintenance medicine for her chest pain and palpitations.." he said, Dara nodded her head, she's happy that her sister will be alright but her only problem is the money she needs to buy the medicine her sister needed

"Here's the prescription and make sure that she won't skip a day okay and i'll see her again after two weeks.."

"I will Dr. Jin, thank you.." Dara said, she bow her head and went outside, she decided to go to the pharmacy inside the hospital and asked for the prices of themedicine and the doctor is right, it's expensive. She only bought 5 tablets

This will be enough until i'll find where will i get some money

Her mind is floating while she's walking, she's thinking where she'll get some money in order to save her sister and for the maintenance medicine she needed in order to be okay, her salary from the supermarket is enough for their expenses and sometimes she borrowed some money to Bom in case she's short

I don't think i can find a job in less than 5 days, damn! My head hurts!

She took a sit on he bench on the side of the wall, she didn't know that someone is looking at her

"Dara?" she heard a voice and look at it

"Minho?" she said, Minho smiled at her

"How are you?" Minho said, she's standing in front of Dara

"I'm okay, here, have a seat.." she answered, Minho sit on th bench beside Dara

"Are you okay?" Minho asked her

"Yeah, yeah, i'm fine. What are you doing here?"

"Oh my mom has an appointment with her doctor and she wanted me to accompany her.." he explained, Dara smiled at him though Minho sensed something

"You sure you're alright?" Minho askd again, Dara sigh

"Actually no, my sister... she's... she's sick.." Dara said, from the moment she blurtd those words out, she cried in front of Minho

"There's a blockage in one of her arteries and it affected her lungs too though th doctor said that they don't need to do a operation, she just need to drink the

medicine he prescribed to her.." Dara explained, Minho already know what the cause of her sudden outburst, he knows Dara is the only one working for her sister and he knows that whatever amount she's getting from the supermarkt is not enough to buy those medicine for her sister

"Of all the people, why my sister?" he heard Dara said

"Did you tell Chaerin about this?" Minho asked her

"No, i haven't.."

"Tell her Dara, she can help you with it.."

"No Minho, this is my problem and she has nothing to do with it.."

"Dara don't be like that.."

"She already done enough for me and it will be too much if i'll ask for her help"

"Then what about your sister?"

"I'll find a way to buy those things she needs.." Minho look at her, he knows that Dara will do anything for her sister

"I know Chaerin will lend me some money if she found out about this.." Dara said again

"Then what will you do Dara?"

"I don't know what i'll do.."

"Let me help you if you don't want to ask for Chaerin's help.."

"No! I'll think of other way, she's my responsibility.."

"I know that but sometimes you need someone to help you in times like this, especially if this time you can't do it alone.."

"If i ask for your help, she will get mad at me and i don't want that to happen.."

"Then tell her your sisters condition.."

"I told you i can't. She already helped me in so may ways and i don't to be a burden to her.."

"But--"

"No but's!"

"Let me help you please, don't think that i'm doing this for you but i want to help your sister"

"I don't know, i can't think straight right now.." Minho sigh and place his hand on top of Dara's hand

"You know where to contact me in case you change your mind. I'm your friend and all i wanted is to help you.." Minho said and stand up, leaving Dara crying and thinking on what she'll do in order for her sister to be alright
