Her mother stayed at the hospital for about a week before being released and after one night in her old house, Soo Yun made all the arrangements to move to their new apartment.

Soo Yun had went back to university, this being one of the requirements his father had set upon her to keep supporting her and his mother. The seasons change and before they knew it, autumn had arrived; for her the last months had being an emotional roller coaster, but she did had her friends support every step of the way.

Seung Hyun had being kept on touch with her, texting her to check on her, but he had been slightly distant after this whole ordeal broke out. At first, Soo Yun blame it all on the stress of finding a job and what this situation could remind him, but later on, she stop looking for excuses, if she kept on lingering on to the why’s, she felt that she wouldn’t be able to focus on the now.

She kept reminding herself on the conversation that Young Bae and Jiyong had with her one afternoon before she came back to university and made it clear for her, that now she needed to finish her major, since now she wasn’t only taking care of herself, now she had to take care of her mom, since she was now her mom’s only source of strength.

That had made her determined to improve herself as a student, but the months had taken a toll on her. Every day she had to go to classes, get home, cook for the both of them, made the house chores, study and start all over again, since the doctors might had release her mother, but she was still struggling with her severe depression and her new diagnosis of fibromyalgia, that had her almost bed ridden at the time, so the pressure that was now on Soo Yun shoulders had only increased.

It was due to her running around that she had began skipping meals, at first it was inadvertently, she simply forgot, other times she was just too tired to even worried about her health, since she was constantly running around, after all, her attention was on her mom’s recovery and her classes.

Young Bae was in the middle of his gym routine when he got a sudden called from the university hospital. He rushed to the emergency room and found a dead sleep Soo Yun hook up to IV’s and with her right foot on a casket.

“Dong Young Bae-sshi?” a man in a doctor’s gown approached him and he nodded “I’m Doctor Park, we called you since you are listed as Miss Nam emergency contact, what is your relationship with the patient?”

“She is my closest donsaeng, what happened to her?” he answered in a mix of irritation and worry tone in his voice.

“Oh, she is ok, she fell down the stairs on the science faculty and she sprained her ankle badly, since this isn’t the first time she has suffered this injury, we had to put a casket on her foot in order to prevent the lesion to get any worse. Also she has a severe anemia, have you seen any changes on her eating habits recently?”

“Yes, she has being eating less but I didn’t know it was this badly, she has being under a lot of stress, but I believed she had things under control. How long will she be wearing the casket?” he replied worried, he couldn’t believe he had not seen this coming, how come he hadn’t seen this coming?

“Around 3 weeks, she will be able to go to classes as long as she doesn’t drain herself out and please ask her relatives to check on her eating habits, I don’t want to prescribe her yet with pills, if we can correct it with a healthy diet, but since she is showing signs of a slight malnutrition, she might be overweight, but that doesn’t mean that if we don’t take actions, we might not have any other choice” the doctor said leaving Young Bae by her bed side.

“Yun you babo girl, you are majoring in nutrition and you let yourself fall into malnutrition? You will be the dead to your patients” he said while her hair and taking out his phone to inform the gang.

Soo Yun opened up her eyes and was welcome by the sight of 3 heads looking closely to her.

“Hyungs, she woke up” Seungri yelled to the others.

“Yes, we can see that maknae, is not like we have gone blind” Jiyong said.

“Yunnie how are you feeling?” Daesung asked her.

“Guys, why are you all here? And why am I in my room? I thought I was on my way to a class” she replied slightly confused by finding herself in her bed.

“You babo girl, you fell down a flight of stairs and you seriously don’t remember it. Aren’t you the smart one out of all of us?” Jiyong said mocking her a little bit.

“That still doesn’t explain why I’m at home” she said trying to seat up, but fell a strong burden in her leg.

She felt a pair of arms coming to help her seating straight up, Young Bae.

“I carry your home since you weren’t waking up, you have your ankle in a casket, and you also are suffering from slight malnutrition and exhaustion” Bae said in a nagging but caring tone.

“Well, we will be taking our leave, we have already left some food, we will come tomorrow to visit you and your mom” the other 3 guys said, leaving the room, knowing that Bae was coming with one of his rants.

“Oppa, mianhae for causing you so many troubles today, I didn’t think I could be such a clumpsy girl” she said avoiding his eyes; she knew they were fill with questions.

“You need to take better care of yourself Yun, otherwise how are you going to be able to take care of your mom? You can’t go back to your old self, you know how much you have struggle to not fall down to your old eating disorders, and you can’t do this” he said and she could hear his voice quavering.

“Bae Oppa, mian, jinjja, mianhaeyo I just wasn’t paying attention to myself, I promise you to be careful of myself, please don’t worry so much about me” she said and grabbed his hand.

“How don’t you don’t want me to worry? You are the closest thing I have to a sister, I feel like we are practically related by something stronger than blood” he said and finally softened up his tone.

“Ara, Oppa, I know, you are the big brother I always wish I could have and you have outdone for my mom and I, in even more ways I could imagine” she said smiling to him, but the smile soon change to an horror look “, Oppa, my omma! How is she?”

“Oh, the lovely mood swings of Nam Soo Yun” Bae said and finally let out a laugh “She is ok, actually when I came carrying you with Daesung, she was rather calmed, I had sent Seungri first to let her know. When we arrived she had already cooked some kimchi jjigae for all of us, she is the kitchen right now”

“Wait, my mom is cooking again? Like for real? You aren’t pulling my leg Bae Oppa?” Soo Yun asked in shock, after all, it had being almost 9 months since her mom had last made a meal.

“Even if I wanted to pull your leg, your casket wouldn’t let me” he said smiling back to her and used his thumb to clear the small tear of joy that had escape from Soo Yun’s eyes “I’ll take my leave for today Yun, I’ll come back tomorrow, the doctor orders are to rest for the remaining of this week and you can go back to classes next Monday. I’ll let your mom know you are up” he said getting off from her bedside and picking up his jacket.

“Oppa, thanks, I mean it” she said with the brightest of smiles he had seeing her produce in the last months.
