Last Goodbye
Last GoodbyeDo you think Dong..Dongw..Dongwoon..Dongwoonie.. Is..g..goin...going.. To..di..die? " asked Kikwang as he broke down halfway.
" To be honest Kiki, no. I think he'll live to about 30+.. " replied Yoseob.
" Really? " Kikwang questioned. Yoseob nodded. Ki cried even more thinking about Dongwoon. Yoseob wiped Ki's tears and hugged him.
" It's gonna be alright. " Yoseob assured him.
They went out for lunch together. One person Kikwang didn't want to lose for sure was Yoseob. They had the closest relationship. They knew each other since they were 5. Another one close to Kikwang was Junhyung. Junhyung doesn't seem like he cares about anyone, but he actually cares about everyone. He was caring and kind towards Kikwang. He was also super talented. He could write songs, sing, rap and he was handsome. I had to admit that. No, I'm not gay. Anyway, Dongwoon was also close to Kikwang. Which explains why he cries everytime something bad happens to Dongwoon. Visits to the hospital soon became often, once a month I would say. All 5 of us would follow Dongwoon to the hospital. It was nerve-wrecking, knowing that your best friend could just lose his ability to walk and soon he would be paralyzed. I cried in my room at night and I called Junhyung.
" Yupseyo. " he said as he sniffled.
" Junhyung ah.. Are you crying? " I asked.
" Ah? Oh, aniya, I'm not. " he replied followed by the sounds of him up his tears.
" You are hyung.. I'll come over in awhile. " I said.
" Ah ne. " he replied.
I went over to Junhyung's house. It was 5:15p.m.
" Hyung ah. Its Hyunseung. " I said as I knocked on his door.
Junhyung unlocked his door and let me in. His eyes were swollen and red. He tried not to look at me.
" Hyung ah.. Don't cry, please. " i said as I sat on the couch with Junhyung.
" It's hard.. But we have to fight this battle together with Dongwoon. " Junhyung said.
I nodded and I phoned Kikwang, Yoseob, Dongwoon and Doojoon to come over to Junhyung's, so we could have a sleepover. They all arrived one by one. After all of them came, Junhyung called for a small meeting.
" Yah. So as you all now, Dongwoon is sick. We have to stay strong no matter what happens and fight this together with Dongwoon. Hopefully this disease will go away and the doctors find a cure for his sickness. " said Junhyung as he put his arms around Dongwoon's shoulder.
" ne. Kamsahamnida hyung. " Dongwoon shed a tear.
The next day, we wanted to have a football match after lunch.
" Yah, are you sure you can play football like this? " Doojoon asked Dongwoon.
" Yeah I can. Exercising once in a while anyway. " Dongwoon replied. We started our football match.
" Wooo! 3-2! " Doojoon said as he waved his arms in the air.
" Yah! Take a break! " said Yoseob as he sat down beside Dongwoon.
" Hyung ah. " Dongwoon said as he turned to Yoseob.
" Ah? Mwoya? " yoseob replied.
" I.. I can't feel my feet.. They're all.. Numb. " Dongwoon said.
" Huh? Why? Did you hit the ball too hard? " Yoseob asked.
" No.. " Dongwoon replied.
He tried to stand up but fell to the floor.
" Hyu..hyung.. I.. Can't stand.. " Dongwoon said as he panicked.
" DOOJOON AH!! HYUNSEUNG!! JUNHYUNG!! KIKWANG!! HELP ME. " Yoseob screamed as I ran towards him.
The rest were tagging behind.
" yah, Dongwoon can't stand up. " I said to Doojoon and Junhyung. Junhyung told Dongwoon not to move and Doojoon called for an ambulance. It came within 5 minutes and they took Dongwoon in.
" Only 2 closest to him are allowed in.. " the paramedic said.
" Kikwang, Yoseob. You go. I'll take a cab with Hyunseung and Junhyung to Incheon General Hospital. " Doojoon said.
Kikwang was already crying. Yoseob and Kikwang got in the ambulance and were on their way to IGH.
" Yah. Hyung ah.. Don't cry. " Dongwoon said as he held Kikwang and Yoseob's hand. Kikwang was holding back his tears.
" Does this patient have any medical condition? " The paramedic asked.
