Chapter 12: The Operation
It's Some Kind of a DiseaseI woke up with Dara’s sleeping form snuggled on my shoulder. She was sleeping peacefully as I tried to memorize her features and savored the view of her. I heard a creeking sound. I looked outside of my room door and saw Seung-hyun coming in to my room. He smiled upon seeing Dara beside me. I gave him a glare stopping him from saying anything unnecessary. “Did you have a nice time together?” He whispered with a smirk on his face. I looked back at Dara’s face and heard her mumble. I let out a smile hoping to let this moment last a bit longer. I kissed her forehead. She must’ve had a nice dream. “I hope she would just postpone her surgery.” Seung-hyun said. I didn't look at him but I felt like he was also in distraught about Dara’s condition. “I hoped so, too. However, I trust her. She wants to do this for herself and for us all.” I replied still looking at my Dara. “I still couldn't accept it, Mr. Kwon. Brain surgery is very risky. It's fatal, most especially, if the doctor who will operate such procedure is either not from a high standard country or inexperienced.” He said. I understood the importance of Dara’s situation but getting a foreign Neurologist that specializes such operation was expensive. However, I was full of hope. There was nothing else I could do but hope. I glanced at Seung-hyun and smiled. Afterwards, he became quiet and never mentioned of anything about Dara’s issue. He went out and I heard noises from the kitchen. I went back looking at Dara sleeping on my shoulders. I saw a tear roll from her eye. I know in my heart what she was going through was not easy. I wrapped my arms around her
