Baeksool assumed that visiting hours were now over when her parents didn't come back from what they said a food searching mission and she was back to staring outside of the window while thinking about what she should do next but her thoughts were demolished when the sound of the door creaking behind her was heard. Her lips stretched into a wide smile when she caught the sight of the nurse that she thinks of a sister along with the doctor that was like a brother to her. " Hari unnie ! Junghyul oppa ! " the paired smiled at the cheerful sound coming from a teenager that was close to disappearing from the world.
" hello Baeksool , how are we feeling today ? " Junghyul started as his hand reaches out to the clipboard that contained all of Baeksool's health information. " bored , did visiting hours ended already ? Because mom and dad aren't here yet and they told me that they were going to search for some food for me " Baeksool ended up answering the question according to her emotions rather than her actual health because she was feeling even worse than before.
Her sickness was making her weak each day and she could barely sit up straight without the help of someone else. Her lips had turned into a pale colour and they were getting even chapped at the lack of water because of her constant as well as the sudden vomits coming. Junghyul was checking her health information while Hari went to sit on the edge of the mattress of Baeksool's bed. " so , can I ask you a question ? " Hari started and Baeksool was surprised to hear that the older was the one that had questions when it was always the other way around but she nodded her head nonetheless with a wide smile on her face.
" when are you going to confess to Jaemin ? " those words coming out of Hari's mouth had made Baeksool's cheeks heated in embarrassment as she froze in the spot. She was sure that her crush on Jaemin wasn't that noticeable and she never told anyone about it. The only way for her to express her feeling for Jaemin was by writing in her small diary that her father gifted to her on her birthday. Baeksool gasped as her hand covered her mouth and she points at Hari with a surprised look plastered on. " you read my diary didn't you ? " Hari chuckled at the younger's question and took Baeksool's hand that was pointed at her in her own.
" you left it open sometimes and I didn't actually read it , I just caught a glimpse of Jaemin's name in a large heart " Baeksool's face heated one more time as she cursed herself for being careless and also childish. The large heart with Jaemin's name in it was when she couldn't sleep and the said boy was stuck in her mind. The only way to get her to drift off to sleep was by writing his name on the piece of paper. " I don't know unnie , he might not see more than a friend but I will try one day " Baeksool went back to smiling right after her words and Hari patted her head gently.
The two girls were talking among themselves but stop once they heard Junghyul calling out to Hari in a serious tone. " Hari , I think it's time to leave now " the nurse was confused when he said that but then her eyes widen slightly when she finally caught the meaning behind his harsh tone. Hari nodded her head and said her goodnight to Baeksool. The sick girl frowned and looked at Hari's disappearing figure before turning to the doctor who decided to stay there for a moment and told Hari to go first.
Junghyul smiled at the sick girl and held the tears in his eyes back. He won't admit it but Eun Baeksool was one of the patient that had a special in his heart. He was determined to save her life but it looks like she was going to be gone faster than he thought.
" I'll call your parents to come here , visiting hours aren't over yet "
