Head Vs. Heart (Chaennie)

Chapter 5

Rosie POV

Jennie stopped calling me. But her two best friends keep messaging me, cursing me, and slapping me with all their harsh words for leaving Jennie.

It's only one day, but my inbox is full of hate. Well, I deserve it. I'm dying anyway.

What do they want me to do? Tell her that I love her, then what? Tell her that I'm dying, that there is a 10% chance for me to be with her? I'll hurt her even more if I do that.

I still have two days before leaving Korea. Tomorrow is our graduation day.

Alice and I are on our way to get Dad to the airport.

The man who keeps pushing me to finish college even though I'm already throwing everything away and spend more of my remaining time with Jennie.

I told him that I plan to go home to Australia to be with them, but he insisted that I need to finish college since I only have two months left in the university. That is why I'm crying in that School comfort room where I bump on Jennie.

Is destiny really love playing with me? I get to be loved by the person I love, finally. What else does this destiny want to do with me?

I tried to look on my phone if Jennie sent a message, but no. She never messaged me.

We waited in the airport's waiting area for Dad; instead of being excited seeing Dad, I'm worried because I can't stop thinking about Jennie.

Is she eating properly, did she locked her door. Is she crying? I can't ask her friends because they hate me right now.

I feel guilty for doing this to her, but what should I do? What is the right thing to do?

I looked around and saw a man who looks like me. I feel the corner of my lips stretched up. Dad finally arrived; we waved our hands at him as he walks towards us. He immediately wrapped his arms around me and kissed my forehead.

"I'm home, baby. You are finally graduating," He said.

"Does it even matter?" I pout.

"Of course! You will pursue your passion, and It will all be worth it." He said while trying to hide his teary eyes. "You will live, baby."

But Mom did not live. Mom and I have the same Illness. She took the surgery, but she did not survive. So, I'm not expecting to survive this too.

I only sigh. I only have a 10% chance to survive if I took the operation; Mom's chance to live before taking the operation is 50%. Maybe this is really goodbye.

I still don't know about my current condition because my doctor is supposed to call me today for an update.

"Dad" Alice looked sadly at Dad and hugged him.

"No giving up," Dad smiled at Alice as he caresses her face.

They are both trying not to release those tears forming from their eyes in front of me, but I know.

"I love you both, and you know that, right?" I said.

Alice drove the car, and as we arrived, Dad cooked us some lunch.

"Aren't you tired? or having jetlag?" I pouted.

"No, I want to cook for my Princess," he smiled.

"But"

"No, but. Go and take some rest, get some beauty rest even though you are beautiful already," Dad winked.

"Yeah, so Mom sees that you took care of me well when we see each other," I joked.
