CHAPTER SIX

It's alright, now count 1, 2, 3 and forget.
Erase all sad memories.
Hold my hand and smile.

Warm and content Sohye smiled as she snuggled closer to her boyfriend who turned on his back slapping a hand on the table to shut off the alarm

Warm and content Sohye smiled as she snuggled closer to her boyfriend who turned on his back slapping a hand on the table to shut off the alarm. Jeongguk's arms held her form as he smiled turning back to her once again.

"Good morning" Jeongguk whispers gently kissing the top of her head.
"Morning." She says, never opening her eyes since it felt so good in his embrace but in the end they had to wake up.

"Mhm a shower should be nice" Sohye says smiling when he lightly pecked her neck letting his lips graze the skin.
He grins, eyes deliciously heavy lidded he stared at her. Sohye leans in kissing his forehead as she speaks,
"I'll go first" She announced as Jeongguk chuckled "And you can tell your mom to rest today since I'm here the whole day"

He nodded eyes following her form as she entered the bathroom with a towel and her clothes she bought the last night.
Jeongguk streched a bit sitting up as he looked out of the window. It was peaceful today.
The weather was fairly nice and the hospital didn't seem rushed like usually.

Jeongguk was never sacred of death, he belived it was inevitable and it cannot be stopped. But that was before he met Sohye.
He always wanted to stay with her because he can never see her cry even though all he has done is made her is cry for the past few days.
He feels his condition deteriorating and he cannot do anything about it. The doctor says he's stable but not making progress.

If the therapies don't work the only option is, surgery.

Which is very risky.

Downing in his thoughts he didn't realise when Sohye came out of the shower dressed casually in jean shorts and a hoodie. She approached him with a sweet smile as she placed her towel back in the bag.

"Did you call her?" Jeongguk flinched a bit when hearing her voice from somewhere around him.
"O-oh, no I'll do it now" He stuttered out smiling a bit as he quickly dialed in her number, trying to avoid any questions.

Sohye simply went on to pat her hair dry as she listened to him talking to his mother.
Jeongguk slowly got up from the bed and hugged her from behind pecking her neck before she protested.

Sohye chuckled when he quickly scurried inside the bathroom.

"Do you want to sit?" Sohye asked worried as he pants a little.
"That'll be a good idea" Jeongguk nodded as she chuckled shaking her head.
"I told you we should take the lift, but you never listen to me" She complained as they neared a bench in the hospital's garden.
Jeongguk wanted to go out, being too antsy inside the room which was big but still not somewhere he would want to be all day.

"Okay okay now don't go all lecturing on me" He said as the two sat down. Sohye's eyes narrowed as she twisted his ear causing him to wince in pain. After his repeated sorrys she let go of him.

"You always bully me. That's not fair" Jeongguk pouted turning his head to look at her as she playfully glared at him.
"You can't be stubborn all the time. You have take your condition into consideration before doing anything" She said sighing.

Jeongguk looked down, "I make you worry so much. I'm sorry"

"You have nothing to be sorry about. I just want you to be careful the next time." She softly spoke taking his hand in hers.

Jeongguk smiled holding her hand tight, which he never wanted to let go of.

"I got the internship but look where life brought me" He looked sad as he stared at the ground "I can't even work when that's all I've wanted to my whole life"

It was true. Jeongguk has tried his hardest throughout college and even before that to get into the internship project of the biggest entertainment company.
He wanted to be a singer but even getting a job in the company was enough for him.

But right now when he would get tired even from walking a few steps, Jeongguk knew thinking about working should be nowhere near his thoughts.

"You'll get to work once you get well" Sohye said carassing his hand as she looked into his eyes "Jeongguk the boss himself said he really appreciates your talent and hardwork. And once you'll be better he would gladly accept your form."

Jeongguk didn't say anything. He knew about that and his heart had warmed up when his boss had come to visit him in the hospital. He was very thankful to him for that.

But the real question here was. Will he get better soon?

Sohye sighed when Jeongguk cupped her face placing his lips onto hers. She gently kissed him back breath shaking as she gripped on his arm.

She hated seeing Jeongguk like this, so miserable. He couldn't pursue his dream and it broke her heart. She knew how important it is to him.
Jeongguk felt her crying but he never pulled away kissing her deeply, letting her feel all the love he has inside for her.

Letting her know how thankful he is to have her by her side. He wants to have her promise him that even if he has to leave her one day she wouldn't break, because he knows she's a strong girl.

But he couldn't.

Jeongguk really hoped he would get out of here but the hope was very little, considering how he felt everyday.

It was getting worse and their was nothing he could do.
