“H-How? how can my illness worsened?” asked Taeng.

“I think thats because you’ve got shoot last year remember? The bullet is too rusty and because of that, your blood is affected by it. If thats happen to normal people it should be fine, they just need some operation. But oppa, remember the your health report last year? They said that you have the same phenomenon just like your mother. We thought that we can treat it immadietly because you just have the same phenomenon, but now, because of that bullet, the report said that your blood circulation is ruined and you lost a lots of blood right? When you lost your blood, you didn’t just lost your red blood cells but your white blood cells as well. And thats very very bad for someone who have a phenomenon like you. and the lab say.. that you’ve got a chronic leukemia, just like your mother.” Said Ji eun. Taeng can’t say anything. He felt like a 1000kg steel fall off to his head. He can’t think straight anymore. He just have his son, and now he was informed that he will lose his life? Taeng dropped his phone. He only stare blankly to the wall.

He’s so tired for hiding his illness from his own family. He only tell about his illness to his childhood friends. Because Yul is no longer live, the only one who can hear him is Ji eun. Ji eun sigh.

“I’m afraid that your illness is worsened oppa.” Said Ji eun. Taeng sigh.

“Really?! Where?!” asked Taeng.

“Its in Japan. I heard from my colleagues that it was a new treatment.” Said Ji eun.

“So i still have a chance???” asked Taeng. Ji eun sigh.

“If the treatment is discovered 4 years ago, yes you still have a chances. But if we take a look with your conditions, i don’t think so. Maybe we only have 40% hope.” Said Ji eun.

“I don’t care Ji eun-ah. 40% is still a lots. At least its not 13% right? I really want to be healthy so i can protect my family. Do you want accompany me Ji eun-ah?” asked Taeng.

“No! oppa, what about your family? What if you dind’t make it? You should discuss it with Sica unnie first!” said Ji eun.

“I can’t okay! She didn’t know about this and no one can know about this okay? I don’t want to make my family worried.

She’s my life and i don’t want to lose her. i want to be healthy so i can be with her forever! If you don’t want to help me, i will go by myself.” Said Taeng and get ready to leave. Suddenly, he felt Ji eun grab his wrist.

“What is it baby?” asked Yoong. Sulli mention him to get closer to her.

“I hope we can find Geunnie’s appa soon.” Whisper Sulli and smile. Yoong smile and kiss her cheek.

“I hope so too.” Said Yoong. Just then, Taeyang and TOP walk toward them.

“We better move now. We already contact Ji eun and she’s giving the address.” Said TOP. All of them move to the car. TOP is the one who drive the car while Taeyang is beside him.

Jessica and Bom sit in the second row with Yoogeun sleeping in his mother’s arm. While Yoong, Tiffany and Sulli sit in the back row. They drove silently with everyone praying for Taeng’s health. After 30 minutes drive, they finally arrive at the hospital. They saw Ji eun waiting for them in front of the hospital.

“Unnie! Finally you’re here.” Said Ji eun. She walk towards the Kim and Jung family.

“We didn’t have much time. Taeng oppa is still inside the operating room.” Said Ji eun and lead them towards the operating room. They arrived in front of the only one operating room with the lights on. They sit in front of the room and pray. Jessica hug her son tightly and praying for her husband. Suddenly, she felt someone embrace her. its Ji eun.

“Unnie, please forgive him.” Said Ji eun. Jessica nod.

“I forgive him already Ji eun-ah.” Said Jessica weakly. Ji eun look at Yoogeun and smile.

“He really miss Yoogeun. Everytime we saw a little kids around Yoogeun’s age, he will shed a tears secretely. He really want to met him again.” said Ji eun and caress Yoogeun’s cheeks. Jessica wipe her tears. Ji eun look at her and smile.
