Me and my Husband

Fragile doll

"I CAN'T TELL HER"

Suno sighed on the phone with Hyun-woo. "Don't you think you've hidden enough from her?" Hyun-woo snapped. "Don't you think you and Hae-in hurt her enough? I'm telling you, you don't understand Hae-min is...tired".

"I don't care she needs to know" Hyun-woo said. "Try calling her phone. I dropped her off at her hotel about an hour ago after she took a nap at our house" Suno sighed.

Hae-min's phone chimed. She was in her hotel room standing in her kitchen. She hadn't been able to reach any of her family members so she planned to drive to yongduri.

News alert: Hong hae-in made a shocking statement

She frowned and clicked on the video. She skipped past Eun-Sung talking. "And that is because i am terminally ill" left hae-in's mouth. Hae-min felt her knees get weak as she fell to her knees.

Hyun-woo interrupted the video, calling her. That was all the confirmation she needed. Why didn't Hae-in tell her? Who else knew? She didn't waste any time rushing out the door.

She tried to blink away her blurry tears as she drove. She called and called the rest of her family but no one picked up. She thankfully had received a text message from Soo-Cheol to meet him at the hospital.

"Hong Hae-min! She's my twin sister" she said to the front desk. The nurse gave her the room number and Hae-min took off. "Is that hae-min again? don't tell her" She heard her mothers voice.

The woman stopped in her tracks. "Hae-min deserves to know what's happening to her twin" Soo-Cheol protested. "Your sister is very....fragile Soo-Cheol you know this. this would break her, i can't have two daughters on a hospital bed".

"Is that what you think?" Hae-min spoke up. Her family looked up to see her, empty look in her eyes and wet cheeks. "You think i'm on the verge of breaking at any inconvenience? You didn't even bother to tell me my sister is dying".

She pulled out her phone "i found out from social media". "Don't cause a scene hae-min. Your sister is dying". Hae-min didn't say anything, she just looked over at Hae-in.

(This is right before Hae-in wakes up btw so they have been there a while)

She looked at Hyun-Woo "I'm sorry" she said. "What are you apologizing to him for? He is the one who kept it from us" Soo-Cheol said. The woman still didn't say anything she just looked down at her shoes.

She couldn't lash out the way she wanted. She wanted to be angry. Her entire life her family has kept her in the dark or hid things from her because they feared she wouldn't be able to handle it.

That she was "Emotionally weak". Honestly she looked at her life a bit differently now. Would her mom never tell her hae-in is dying?

When they were able to speak with her though she was sleep Hae-min went right after Hyun-Woo. She took Hae-in's hand in hers.

"I knew something was wrong. Why didn't you just tell me Hae-in? We could have went through it together" tears began to slip down her cheeks. "I'm sorry Hae-in. I wish i could trade places with you, i'm your twin i should have-".

"What could you have possibly done?" it was Hyun-woo. "Something. Anything she needed me to do" she turned toward the man. "I have to go get something from home for her, will you please tell me when Hae-in wakes up or any news?" she asked.

"Yes" he nodded. "Hyun-woo please. i'm serious" she begged him. "I'll tell you i promise" she stood and nodded. The hospital wasn't too far so she decided to walk home.

Hae-min felt tired and even a bit empty. She wondered why her family didn't trust her. She hadn't given them a reason not to, Hae-in and hyun-woo lied to her for months and her mother called her fragile.

Hae-min always thought she could handle her own. But to be treated like a ticking time bomb just plainly hurt her heart. So deep trapped in thought she tripped over something.

Her body didn't have the strength to properly catch her so she just awaited impact. Instead it never came, just the familiar smell of clone. "Suno" she breathed out as she looked up to see it it was him.

Sure enough it was him. He balanced her up right "Are you alright my love? Can you walk?" He titled his head. A part of her heart fluttered. The other broke a bit knowing she still couldn't forgive him. "mhm" she braced her hands on his arms.

"Suno i-" she choked on her words. "I know baby" he cooed before pulling something out of his pocket. It was a gold necklace that matched Hae-min's silver one.

It was Hae-in's that had broken a long time ago and Hae-min forgot to fix. "How did you know?" she asked. He didn't say anything he just closed her palm around the necklace.

"Come with me" he didn't give her much of a choice as he gently pulled her along. When they got there Hae-in was up. "Hae-in i'm so sorry. I wish i could trade places with you as your twin i-" Hae-in cut off her rambling.

"I'm sorry too Hae-min" The sisters hugged each other. A part of Hae-in felt relieved she could look her sister in the eye and tell her how sorry she was. Hae-in knew that when she passed it would kill Hae-min.

And from the looks of it, it started to. Both twins looked sick and frail. Hae-min was almost trembling. "I want you to have this" She pulled away and gave her sister the necklace.

"You found it?" she asked. Hae-min nodded "It was in the pocket of my old varsity jacket" she shrugged. She helped Hae-in clasp the necklace back on. "You look tired, take her home" she looked up at Suno.

"Hae-in i need to stay with you" Hae-min frowned. "No you don't I'll be okay for the night. I know you haven't been sleeping well since the split. Just go home and rest". Hae-min didn't argue she just hugged her sister one last time and left.

"Come home with me tonight?" Suno asked her. "I can't." The woman shook her head. "You can. Please, i don't feel comfortable with you alone" he begged. She sighed and nodded following him to his car.
