Get Me High [COMPLETED]

GMH 47

SAN.

"Young-ah, I'm going with her."

Wooyoung blinked. The silence before he spoke again deafening.

"Oh. To Italy?"

"Yeah."

San had dreaded this since he spoke to his mother yesterday. How Wooyoung was going to take it. How he was going to react and now it felt like that nightmare was coming true.

Previous night.....

"What's this?"San asked his mother as he opened the file she passed across the table to him.

"My medical report. I realized how selfish I was being trying to get you guys to move with the divorce as an excuse."she gripped the glass of water in her hands tightly.

"I have stage four cancer and that's the real reason I'm leaving this place. I have nothing left here except painful memories and regrets. My parents want me home and I don't want to waste away in this empty place too."

"What do you mean you have stage 4 cancer?"he frowned, skimming his eyes through the CT scan diagrams and reports scribbled beneath each one.

"It's exactly as I said. I was diagnosed months ago and I've been refusing to believe it for a while now but as time goes by I realized I was only fooling myself and needed to come to terms with it." she scoffed."I guess as a director of the biggest hospital in Seoul, it just never occurred to me that I'm still a human at the end of the day that can get sick. I'm terminally ill and I really don't have time to be in denial."

San's ears were ringing. His mind made sense of the situation but his heart refused to comprehend the words coming out of her mouth. He closed the file , stood up and made to leave.

"San"

"I need to go. Wooyoung's waiting for me."

She got up and went to stand in front of him. Her eyes were lifeless and hollow, skin pale and her hair frail as it fell over her face. San's heart clenched at the obvious signs of her condition.

"I was estimated nine months when I received my diagnosis. 6 has already passed. A year is possible but with my age and the way the cancer in my stomach has now spread, it would be a stretch. I don't have much time left San.That's the reality you and I need to face."

She took a deep shaky breath before continuing.

"I told Seonghwa this morning. I was going to tell both of you at the same time but you were out with Wooyoung I assume and that's why I'm telling you now. Your dad doesn't know. Not that it's any of his business since we're done and through with the divorce. You haven't seen him in a while right? That's because he's staying with his girlfriend."
