"Nari? Why didn't you tell us?" Jooyeon asks. I fittle my thumbs and sigh out. "I was scared you'd guys view me differently. I don't want everyone pitying me."

"Let's bring you to the hospital, I'm not loosing you. We're not loosing you." Changmin says. I shake my head. "I don't want to. The treatment is only 50/50 it may not even work and it could just make it worse." I say and Changmin just grabs my hand.

"Nari, let's just try. You're a fighter and we all know it. So please let's give the treatment a try." Changmin pleads and I sit there, thinking. "Okay." I finally say after a few seconds. Changmin scoops me up and takes me downstairs, bringing me into his car.

"what she needs at this moment is a bone marrow transplant. that would be the most effective way instead of medicine at the rate shes going. I will put her on the list and we will try to find a donor as soon as possible." My doctor says and I just sigh. "another waiting game." I mumble. "what Nari?" Changmin asks while holding my hand. "Another waiting game. When I was younger before I got put on medication they tried finding me a donor but It was to long of a wait we gave up. I'll probably just be better off dead at this point."

"Nari don't be saying that shit." my mom snaps. "Nari I know this isn't ideal but I promise we will find someone as soon as we can. As of right now we'll have you rest hear for couple days so we can watch over you and make sure your okay. I'll take my leave so you can spend time with your mom and friends." the doctor quietly shuts the door behind him and I just roll my eyes. "I called your dad and he says he will be on his way as soon as he can."

"Mom, I love you but we both know he ain't coming." she just sighs and strokes my hair. "you guys can go if you want, you got school in the morning." they all shake there head. "No I want to stay, we all want to stay." Gunil says and I just nod. "Get some rest Nari." my mom says and stands up. "where are you going?" I ask and she opens the door. "Im gonna go knock ur father on his ass." I laugh. "You go girl." Junhan says and we all laugh. After my mom leaves my friends go down to get food from the cafeteria while changmin sits next to my bed and holds my hand.

"Nari I-" The door slams open and I see my brother in a panick. "Hyunjoon?" He hurridly walks over to me ang gives me a hug. "I came as soon as mom called me. Are you okay? Does anything hurt? What did the doctor say?"

"First off take a breath, jesus. Yes I'm fine, the doctor says I need to get a bone marrow transplant so I'm on the waiting list again." I say and his face drops. "No, nope, nah-uh my baby sis will not be on no damn waiting list do they now who I am, Im gonna go get that damn do-" the door bursts open once again and It's my doctor this time. "We have a donner." The nurses rush to the sides of my bed and start rolling me out the door and booking it towards another room. they push my brother and changmin out the doors and I can hear them yelling out for me. I just close my eyes and pray, hoping this will finally work.
