Haechan's pov

As I was looking at myself in the mirror I suddenly teared up.

"My hair is falling off again" i said to myself

I have cancer and I think I might not be able to live any longer.

I almost already live inside the hospital. It sucks doesn't it? The ones that would take care of me most of the time would be my mom, sister and my boyfriend. I lost my dad at a young age but I'm happy that he's in a safe and peaceful place right now. My mom has been there since the start and I'm glad that the heavens above sent her to me and not to mention, my sister Yeri was there with me too. Yes, I have a boyfriend and his name is Lee Minhyung or you can call him mark. I met him when I was 14 and he was 15. Mark was left alone by everyone in his family but he was left with money by his dad. He was hated but I loved him. We became official on my 15th birthday, a year after we met.

He is the best thing that ever happened to me and I would die for him. He's handsome, talented, athletic, and smart. He just doesn't know how to cook but I'm okay with that because I would love to cook for him for the rest of my life, sadly it wouldn't be for the rest of his life. I'm really lucky to have him as my boyfriend and I really don't deserve him.

He knows that I am ill but he still took me in like I am normal and he took care of me when my mother and sister couldn't. He accepted me. He loves me. He made me happy. He's more than enough.

I needed to go to the hospital today because of something 'urgent' that my doctor called me for.

I head there with my sister, she didn't have any afternoon classes so she drove me there. My mother was at work and my boyfriend was in school so they couldn't accompany me.

I was really nervous and I think my sister noticed it. I didn't want to die young but if it's my fate then I might have to accept it. I'm only 19 and I still have so much things I wanted to experience but my situation is getting worse.

"Hyuckie, I know you're nervous about any results right now but you need to be strong and accept it okay?" my sister reassured me as she held my hand. I really appreciated my sister and I wanted her to atleast take a break from taking care of me so that she could spend time with her crush, Joy, who happened to be in the same biology and PE class as her.

I just smiled back at my sister and squeezed her hand to signal her that I will be okay.

-in the hospital-

"Hi donghyuck!" my doctor greeted me enthusiastically. I wasn't in the mood to smile but I smiled anyways. He was a good doctor to me so might as well be a good patient.

"Hi Doctor Moon" i said as i sat down on the opposite side.

"Hyuck we will run on some tests on you first before we could finally give you the final results. There might be some changes because the last time you went here was last week. Please wait for the nurse to take your blood sample for today. This might take 30-40 minutes so you can enjoy outside before we give it to you" he smiled and stood up.

Moon Taeil has been my doctor since the day I was diagnosed with cancer. It was back when I was still 13 years of age. It wasn't worse back then but it got worse and worse overtime. I'm really thankful for him and the 2 nurses who has been there with me. Mr. Nakamoto and his husband Dong Sicheng were my nurses since then and I'm more than grateful for them.

"Hi hyuckie! How are you?" speaking of Sicheng, he's here right now hugging me.

"I'm good hyung. Just a little nervous about the results" i said as i pulled back from our hug to hug his husband.

"You're the strongest person hyuck. No matter the results just know that we'll always be here for you" yuta hyung told me as he smiled at me.

They started to get my blood and covered the part with cotton to prevent more blood from coming out. They did this kn silence and as they were about to stand up and leave, I asked them a question that I think caught them off guard.

"Winwin hyung, Yuta hyung, do you guys think I'll be able to live a longer life after I get the results?" i asked them with hope in my eyes. I know that the answer would always be a no but I just asked them to maybe atleast have some hope.

Winwin hyung sighed as he approached me slowly. "Hyuck baby, you know we can't answer that question right? Don't worry, we'll do our very best to have you here longer" he smiled at me before leaving with yuta hyung.

I just sighed deeply and took a light nap on my sisters lap as we wait for the results.

-results in-

"—uck Hyuck" I heard clearly as my sister shook me. "The results are here. You wanna check it out with me or you wanna go by yourself?"

"I'll go by myself" i said as I stood up "thank you riri noona for everything" i said as i pecked her cheeks and smiled at her. I saw a tear left her eye so I wiped it off and hugged her, "Noona, everything's gonna be alright. You told me to accept any results but here you are crying and starting to doubt it" I chuckled as I pulled away.

"I love you and you know that right? I'm not doubting but I'm just scared. But you should go now, Doctor Moon is waiting for you outside" she said as she pecked my cheeks.

"Hey hyuck" he said sadly and that made me tense up.

"Can I see the results?" I said as I was getting impatient

"I'm sorry hyuck, you have ten days left to live. We tried our best." He said as he hugged me and I slowly pulled away after some time

"It's okay doctor moon, I knew I wouldn't be living longer anyways." I said as I wipe the tear that left my eye. "Thank you for everything doctor moon" I pulled him into a hug and pulled away after a minute

"I won't be staying here in the hospital for the remaining ten days right?" I said as I hoped that no would be the answer

"No hyuck you don't have to, but your last day would most likely be spent here" he said. We talked for a little while with yuta and winwin hyung.

I went back to my sister and told her my results. I told her that I'll tell mom when I arrive back home. I also told her to not tell anybody other than mom because I know my friends and my boyfriend would be freaking out.

"Noona, thank you. For everything. For the sleepless nights you experienced because you were taking care of me. For always being there. For assisting me every step of the way. For being part of my journey. And for being the best sister a brother could ever ask for" we hugged tightly and spent the rest of the afternoon roaming around the city and just spending time together. I had other plans for the rest pf my remaining days and she was willing to help with anything.

'This might be the last time I'll be spending time with you riri noona, but always remember that you have been the best sister to me. I'll never forget you and I will not forget to say hi to dad for you'
