*In this story, Hana is already a teenager. Her present age is seventeen. :)

 

 

"Hana, dinner will be ready soon!"

She hurried towards her bedroom door which was wide opened and yelled back to her mother, saying that she wasn't hungry before quickly closing the door and running back to her study table. She reached for the first drawer on her right and took out a vintage looking journal her father had bought her from his trip in Paris and flipped through it. It was a special journal which only had entries written on the 8th of December every year since she was twelve.

It's been five years since she had started writing them, but never once did she let anybody read them. Not even her childhood best friend, who is now her boyfriend, knew about the journal. It was a secret she kept to herself, although she doesn't wish to keep it a secret forever. Sooner or later, Hana had decided that one day she will allow the right people to read them, but just the thought of it had made Hana embarrassed and doubtful.

'Maybe one day,' she thought as she opened up a blank page and grabbed a pen. The songs from her favourite boygroup, Super Junior, where playing softly in the background as she hummed to the song and began writing.

 

I remember when I had that surgery two years ago. Before I went in the operation room, Mom was with me and she kept reminding me to say my prayers. Dad was also recovering from the same surgery, but he was already at home with lil bro.

 

She remembered that day very well. Her father had been admitted to the hospital for accute appendicitis and was operated the same night. Hana had cried so much since her father was very dear to her. Luckily, he did fine and he seemed to look better the day after the operations. On the same day he was released, Hana complained of pain on the right side of her abdomen and fainted in Chanhyun's arms.

When she woke up, she was in so much pain and the same doctor who had treated her father had rushed to look over her. She was positive for accute appendicitis, just like her father. Despite all the pain she was going through, she couldn't help but find the situation amusing. How was it possible that the father and daughter were described with the same problem in just a matter of days? The surgery to remove her inflammed appendix was scheduled that night and since her father needs rest from his own wound, he stayed at home with her little brother, Chen. 

 

He, too, reminded me to say my prayers. When I woke up disoriented, the first word that came out of my mouth was 'Mom'. 

 

Apparently, despite being tied to the hips with her father, Hana had indeed called out for her mother the moment she was awaken by a nurse once the operation was done. Hana kept falling in and out of conciousness that night, but she managed to register herself calling out for her mother numerous time in her sleep; she also remembers hearing her mother's sobs as she hushed her back to sleep. That night, Hana knew her mother had stayed up the whole night watching over her as she slept.

 

Even though Dad himself was still in pain after the surgery, he was sitting next to my bed when I woke up the next morning. He had tears in his eyes and he smiled so brightly when he saw me awake. "How are you, my angel?" he has asked and I could only let a tear fall since I was still in pain. I saw him frown at this and reached forward to wipe it away, and I didn't miss the slight hiss he made as he moved. He was still in pain, but there he was wiping my tears away and telling me that everything was going to be okay. 

 

Hana heaved a sigh as she felt her chest tightening from the memory. Her father's actions had touched her to the core, and she could still remember it all to this very day. She grabbed her pen tighter in between her fingers and bobbed her head to Super Junior's Shirt for a little bit before she began to write again.

 

Once I was discharged, Mom and Dad brought me home where Grandma and Grandpa was waiting with ChenChen. Grandma laughed the moment she saw Dad helping me out of the car and aiding me inside the house while he himself was in pain, saying that it was like seeing the blind leading the blind. Dad and I couldn't help but laugh, and we both doubled over in pain right after. Chanhyun arrived a while later with his family, and they too thought the same thing when they saw how D
