Another day being in the hospital. How I wish I could go out and see the outside. My parents are busy with work even during the weekends. I only have one visitor and it's my friend, Haewon. We met before I was hospitalised. I really can't wait to see her everyday. She'll always tell me what happen in school while I was gone.

I don't know how long I'll be here for. I lay down waiting for when someone came in. A boy who seems older than me. Running to someone. A woman. I guess it's his mother. He's smile when he saw his mother was refreshing. I didn't realise he was looking at me too. "Hi, nice to meet you! I'm Jay" He said. I didn't know I was this shy. "I'm Jungwon" I said softly but he could hear it.

He went back to his mother. How I wish he would continue talking to me. But why was I thinking about it? Haewon came in with food. All of our favourite dishes to eat. As usual she talked about school. "How's your day here?" Being in a hospital really sucks. You have needles going in your arm and not being able to do the things you want to without a doctor. "I hate it here"

"You always hate it here. I'm sure you're going to love it"

Well I hope so. She left early today since exams are coming up. Luckily I don't have to take it. I was really bored. I'm only 11 years old. I don't see a lot of kids at my age. Most of them are adults. I really want to leave this place badly. "Jungwon! My mother is in the operating room so I'll just talk to you"

He was smiling which made me smile. "How old are you by the way?" "Eleven. How about you?" He took awhile to answer it. "I'm twelve. Looks like I'm older" He chuckled. I already liked him. Another friend in the hospital.

"Let's be friends!" He offered his hand for a handshake. I need another friend so I accept obviously. When the doctor called him, I took out my journal. I'll always write down about my day. So far I'm half way done with my third book. I asked Haewon to buy me them. She's really kind.

It was night time. Jay came in again. "My mother has been discharged. I'll pay a visit. I got to go now. Bye!" Now I'm the only one in this room. I've gotten used to it now. I'm still scared of it but I read my journal to help me sleep easily. I'm starting to miss Haewon who usually stays here until midnight. She isn't scared of anything. That's why I liked her as my friend.

I still couldn't sleep. I tried to shut my eyes but nothing worked. I checked the time and it was past midnight. Thunder came. It was about to rain. I hid myself under the blanket trying to ignore all the loud thunders. I really needed Haewon. She'll always protect me. I don't know why but it really helped me.

Finally, I fell asleep.  It was long until I woke up again due to the thunder. I stared blankly at the wall. I check the time again and it was 5 in the morning. I usually wake up at 7.

I was eating my lunch when Haewon came in. "Did you sleep well? The thunder yesterday was loud"

"I did sleep"

The door open. I turn around and it was Jay. A smile lit up on my face. Haewon didn't know who he was because she was on her phone. "Haewon this is Jay" She was surprised? "You're the new kid from earlier." New kid? "Right right! Jungwon, Jay is our new classmate."

If only I was discharged and able to go to school with Jay and Haewon. Looks like they're already friends. They sat beside me. I finally got to see Jay again. I'm starting to miss school now. Can't I just leave this place already. It's already torturing me.

I really want to get out from this bed. I miss home. I miss my room. I miss everything! I want everything to end. I really want to reverse time. Or maybe I should just die to end this. My doctor said that I might be able to live if I go for surgery but I have a high chances of dying.  At least I have Haewon and Jay...But I still don't know what's wron with me that I have to stay here.
