In a white and blue hospital gown, Wendy’s weak and unconscious body laid connected to all sorts of tubes and wires. By her side sat the two youngest of the group, Yeri and Joy, both sitting with swollen eyes, with endless tears flowing still. Both holding each other, but crying even harder because when they cried, Wendy was always there to hold them. Just as Yeri and Joy sniffled, Wendy’s doctor had entered into the room.

“I’m assuming you are both wondering about Wendy-sshi’s condition at the moment. Now, I need to be honest with you, and I need you both to be honest with me.” Doctor Kim asked sternly with the two girls.

Yeri began clutching at her chest, with Joy gripping onto Yeri’s shoulders, both speechless for a minute of pin-drop silenc
