Thankfully, She woke up awhile after and the doctor walked in. "I see your awake miss Bae. how are you feeling?" The doctor calmly made his way next to her. "I'm feeling fine" The doctor nodded and walked towards Mark and Jeno.
"She has the hanahaki disease am i correct? If I'm calculating correctly, she should have about 2 weeks left. Her case was one that i have never seen before, this is one of the worse I've seen." The two boys froze in their spot. what did they mean by "worse case?"
"But luckily, it has been dealt with in other countries so we pretty much are okay with this case, what i'm trying to imply on is that i personally have never handled a case like this, my apologies for the unclear statement" The doctor explained and bowed a bit, showing sincere feelings. The two nodded.
"What's going to happen in two weeks though?" "This is the bad news, we might not even know if it's going to be two weeks or not. all we know is that she will puke out petals with blood, so when she does please rush her to the hospital. she can either choose to take surgery or not while in these few days before it actually happens. but as if for now please try your best to keep this certain person away from her if possible." The doctor said smiling.
"I'm sorry to bring such trouble to you Jeno and Mark... I-I never wanted this to happen" Her voice was quivering, she was now more vulnerable than ever.
The hanahaki disease was one that everyone feared, one that you can catch easily if your not careful. it's not the same as cancers or any others, from Youngmin's point of view, it was hell. It felt like hell. having to know who caused the problems hurts even more. It wasn't because of natural health problems, this depended on feelings and feelings can always change, either in a long period of time or a snap of a finger. That's why people feared the hanahaki disease. They felt hopeless, because their feelings were all there.
Youngmin wasn't ready to die yet, she never wanted to fall in love with Jaemin but here she is, on a hospital bed all because of a silly crush. she sighed. she couldn't do much about it. She didn't know how to changed and it messed with her a lot.
she tried her best to get over him, but every time she looks at him butterflies erupt in her stomach, making her swoon all over him again to the point she had to cryherslf to sleep because of it.
She wasn't the type to mess up relationships so she sat and watched in heartbreak.
She watched herself turned into someone who puked periwinkle petals.
"She's dismissed by the way, stay safe" the doctor said one last time before walking out the room, to attend his other patients that were waiting.
"Come on Youngmin, let's go home." Mark softly said and helped her up from the bed. "Jeno you can relax now, I'm alright" Youngmin gave him a soft smile, but Jeno only stared and walked out the room hurriedly.
Mark only sighed, his words replaying in his head.
"Cause that girl that is on the brink of her death, I love her, and I won't ever push her away."
Mark looked at his "sister" and didn't say a word. "Whatever Jeno is going to do, is all for her sake." He thought and smiled. He knew.
He knew Jeno could give her everything she everything. She wouldn't be ignored, She wouldn't be heartbroken, instead she would be happy, she would be smiling brightly, hand in hand with a man who would treat her like she was the whole world. But was it too late?
Was it too late for him? Too late for her? Thoughts raced around his mind, one second he's happy, one second he's not. Mark sighed making youngmin stop swinging her arms around and look at him. "What's wrong waermelon?" She asked.
Watermelon. The nickname she gave him ever since she found his stash of watermelons that he hid under his bed, it was pretty unsanitary. But it was a good memory to remember, it was sweet and warm making him smile at the nickname.
"Nothing's wrong teddy, don't worry about it" Mark's smiled was bright and she thought to herself. Damn whoever was his future girlfriend has to have saved a country in their past life to deserve someone like him. Youngmin laughed at the silly thought.
Or boyfriend. Youngmin had a faint smirk on her face, she wasn't blind. She saw how Hark and Haechan acted towards each other.
the both smiled at each other, their inner child's igniting brightly.
"Promise you won't ever leave my side even after you died?"
