The Millionaire's Mistress

Lifeline

I am here waiting for Eunha to come out from the check up room. Today is her surgery schedule. She was being checked before the operation is pursued. To say I am nervous is an understatement. I am shaking and I am close to throwing up. I have no one beside me, Umji is taking her examination for her course. I have no other friends or relative to comfort me. I could feel my nerves starting to shake me. When the door opened and Eunha was wheeled out I immediately stood up and went beside her.

We were now inside the operating room. The nurse already briefed me. She was giving few moments before the operation will be conducted.

"Unnie?" I.was brought back to yhe present when Eunha held my hand.

"Y-yes Eunha-ya?"

"Yerin unnie, I know what you are feeling now. I know you are nervous, me too unnie. I am nervous and scared too." Eunha said and my tears feel when she started to cry.

"You'll be alright my bunny. I'll be here always." I held her hand tighter.

"B-but unnie, what if I couldn-"

"No! Don't say it Eunha. You'll do well. Remember, between the two of us you are always the hard headed, strong-willed and fighter right? Now prove Yerin unnie that you are tough!" I convinced her pretending that I am not shaken and that I am a hundred percent sure.

Eunha seemed unsure too but then I saw her smiled through tears.

"Yes! I'll be back stronger and happier and healthier to you Yerin unnie. I mean, I have too right? I still need to help you pay this hospital bill." She was joking to hide her fear.

"That's right Jung Eunha. You have to earn money to pay for the bills! Don't let me pay it alone or else!" I joked and we laughed.

The nurse then came in.

"Excuse me Ms. Jung but we need to start and put anaesthesia for your sister." The nurse told me.

"Yes." I answered but before I went out I held Eunha tighter and kissed her amidst my tears.

"I love you Eunha. Please, please fight this for me. Promise me."

"I promise unnie, I will win this sickness. I'll come back to you unnie, please wait for me. I love you and thank you unnie." Eunha said crying.

The moment the doctors and nurses come inside and the OR door's closes, I broke down crying. I let out every fear, sadness an uncertaintess. I've never felt so alone and scared. The scene of my Mom's crash scene flashed back as well as my dad's dead body coming out from the OR. I felt so sick. I tried calling Umji but as expected her phone was turned off. I have no one. I need someone to hold on to now.

I scrolled through my phone only to realized how pitiful my life is. There are only six numbers on my list.

EunBunny

Umjiyahh

Flowershop

Chaud et Froet

Apartment-nim

Mr. Kim Tae

I was staring at my contacts with tears still streaming. I can't call them because they were never my friends, they won't care. Well, maybe Mr. Kim will since he'll need me as mistress. But, that will be out of rules and we're really not friends. I decided to just shove my phone back to my pocket. I can do this alone.

You'll be alright Yerin. You only need Eunha. You can do it! Nothing bad will happen to Eunha right? Come on! Be the stronger one this time.
