The night was long and Dasom couldn't sleep at all. Her mind was filled with thoughts of getting bold and losing the only thing that made her confident. When she woke up in the morning Taehyung was already gone. She knew that he went to the office and probably forgot about her appointment with the hairdresser. Dasom wasn't as sad about it as she expected.

After doing her morning routine she went to the kitchen for breakfast. On the way, there was no one in her path like usual. Dasom went inside the kitchen only to see their maid Miyeon who was wiping the tables.

" Good morning, " she greeted and Dasom just nodded. By her facial expression, Miyeon could tell that something was wrong. " Are you not feeling well? " Dasom looked at her with glossy eyes.

" Can you keep my secret safe? " tears were visible in Dasom's eyes but even though she blinked them away Miyeon still saw it. The maid sat next to Dasom and gently rubbed her back.

" Of course, it is safe with me. Now tell me. What is bothering you? " Dasom immediately broke down into tears worrying Miyeon even more.

" I... I have cancer, Miyeon, " she cried out. " I'm not upset about the fact that I'm dying I was happy before my family made me treat it. I just... I just don't want to lose the thing that brings me so much confidence. " she unknowingly touched her hair.  Miyeon couldn't believe what she just heard, but remembering her pale face and the way she acted yesterday all made sense now.

" How is your health now? " she asked.

" It's getting worse, but slower. I'll need surgery soon. I'll tell Taehyung that I'm going for a vacation with my brother, but if he won't get it will you cover it up for me? " Dasom looked at her with pleading eyes. Miyeon couldn't say no to her, but she knew that if her boss got to know that she lied he would surely fire her.

" When is the surgery? " Miyeon had to get herself ready for the worst so she asked.

" I don't know yet, probably a few weeks later. " Dasom took her vape out of the pocket making Miyeon widen her eyes and she quickly took it out from Dasom's hand making her confused.

" If I agreed to keep my mouth shut it doesn't mean that I will allow you to do these kinds of things. "

A few hours later Dasom was at the hairdresser holding her brother's hand for support as her hair was falling on the floor. She didn't dare to look in the mirror which was in front of her. Her thoughts were clouding her mind and all she could see was a black space surrounding her. She heard the sound which indicated that it was the last stage of the floor getting covered in her hair, she felt suffocated. Now when she was going bold she had no intentions of having a proper enjoyment of life.

" Dasom " her brother, Jihoon, called out her name and she finally came back to reality. She looked at her brother.

" Is it done? " she asked quietly.

" Yes, it is. Don't be sad about it, love, you'll look way better when it grows back. Trust me. " Jihoon squeezed her hand, and she finally got the courage to look in the mirror.

The sight made her sick to her stomach. The beautiful long brown hair she loved so much was gone, and there was no way back to it. She had no hair, but she could agree that it didn't look as bad as she thought it was going to be.

" Are you okay? " Jihoon asked again and she looked at her brother. 

" Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little bit tired. " she softly smiled at him.

" Let's go. I'll take you home. " Jihoon paid the hairdresser and helped his sister go out to the car.

Dasom was feeling weak and looked pale. That was what scared Jihoon a lot. He made her sit in the car comfortably and drove her back to Taehyung's house. Never ever imagined calling the house she lives in with her husband her home. To Jihoon it was her husband's home, Dasom's home was back in Busan with his father who betrayed his family. Anger took over him again, just the thought of their father being an asshole to his sick daughter made him want to punch that old man in the face.

Just by thinking about the whole situation Jihoon's and Dasom's father made them go through they finally reached their destination. Jihoon's car was parked outside the gate of Taehyung's mansion, but none of them were ready to get out of the car.

" Jihoon. " Dasom's soft voice was heard by her brother and he looked at her.

" Yes? "

" I am so glad That I have you. " her eyes became teary.

" No, Dasom. It is me who is glad to have you. You're the best thing that ever happened to me. " he caressed her cheek softly as she let out a silent sob.

" Thank you for staying by my side, Jihoon. I owe you for everything you have done for me. " she held his hand.

" Don't say like that, Dasom. You owe me nothing I am your brother, and I am supposed to take care of you. " now he held back his tears. Jihoon felt as if she was going to disappear every second now.

" I should get going. Miyeon must be waiting for me. " she smiled softly side hugging her brother and getting out of the car. She stood outside the gate waving to her brother as she waited for him to pull off but he didn't. He was watching her and waiting for her to get inside safely, and when she finally understood his actions Dasom looked at her brother for the last time and went inside leaving Jihoon and his silent sobs.
