AUSTRALIA (A FEW DAYS EARLIER)

"Rosè! I deeply regret to tell you that you're a patient of cancer" he closed his eyes emotionally. I was of course take aback with you conclusion. I asked his several times if it was true. Dr. Sal slowly explained my disease. He told me that I was suffering from breast cancer stage II. He told me that it was curable however there is no guarantee that I will be completely cured. It all depended upon my body and mind.

"It's is futile if you throw a tantrum. You must learn to keep your cool" he calmed me days after I had turned into a complete maniac.

"How long will this treatment take?" I asked hastily.

"Depends. If you're lucky a year" he said.

"Alright then when does my treatment start?" I ask "Please arrange the time according with my work schedule. I don't want any collisions"

"Rosè calm down" Dr. Sal sat beside me. We have know each other for a long time. He know that when I'm nervous I tend to make silly decisions.

"Look. During your treatment, you need to be surrounded with your loved ones. How about you take your treatment in Korea? When was the last time you met your family? You could spend some time with your family....."

"Will I die during the treatment?" I gasp.

"No. I'm gonna be completely honest with you. You are not like a patient but a family to me" he looked at me seriously "Leave behind all your work and everything. Go to Korea and receive your treatment well. Spend time with your family. You've worked hard enough. Now you need to do the things that you've always wanted to. You know, like make a bucket list. Imagine that this year is all that you have."

"But I'll survive right?"

"Who knows? You may" he replied.

"How rude" I mumble.

"The thing is that you're young and we can't predict how fast your cancer cells will spread. It's best if you take the treatment as soon as possible."

"You're scaring me. Is my death chance really high?" I bite my nails.

"Only time can tell" he states.

"Ya! Stop diverting my questions. Answer in simple yes or no" I slam the table.

"I'm a doctor. I can't conclude the answers to your question in mere two and three letters" he replied coolly.

"Explain then" I inhale and exhale repeatedly.

"You need to be happy. You need support. You need to eat healthy food. Those are the three vital things you need. How to get those and be those is all up to you. In my perspective, your job can't provide you those. Now is the time to do what you really want. Have low expectations. I'm not trying to scare you but imagine that there is no cure to your disease and complete the thing you want to do before you die. Go back home and create a bucket list today."

I remained silent listening to every word he said. He was somehow true. I never gained genuine happiness from work. I worked like a robot. No need for emotions.

"So have you decided?" He broke my thoughts "Australia or Korea?"

"I could actually take some time off" I give in.

"That's what I'm saying" he claps his hand "I'll contact with my colleague in Korea. He is an expert in cancer treatments"

"If I don't live, it's all your fault" I threaten him.

"Alright alright. See you after a year as a healthier and wiser person" he waves me off.

Bucket list.

Should I make one? Things that I really want to do. Of course there were a lot of thing that I wanted to do but never got the chance. Work. Meetings. Conferences. High standards. I was too matured for my age. Studied dedications.

"Baby" my mom asked from my computer screen "Come to Korea someday"

"Yes mom" I replied "I will be arriving after two days alright?"

"Don't joke with your mother this way!" She scolded me.

"I'm serious mom. I've got a long vacation. I think I will spend it with you guys. I'll leave from here tomorrow and will reach there day after. See you then" I cut the call.

If the conversations lasts any longer, Mom will start asking questions to which I had no answers to. I call up Lisa.

"Hey Lisa. I'm off to Korea after two days. Meet me up at the cafe outside my place with Jeanie." I tell her.

"Roger that"

_

After 10 minutes, I'm out at the cafe with them.

"What's with the sudden departure?" Jeanie asks.

"Homesick?" Lisa adds.

"Sort of. Plus I could use some time off" I said weakly.

Jeanie nodded her head in agreement "You've worked hard enough. You need a vacation"

"Aww.. don't go we will really miss you" Lisa dramatically wiped her tears.

"Listen. I need you guys to take over the company while I'm gone" I said seriously.

"Ya! Have you seriously got no emotions. I was in the verge of tears" Lisa yelled.

"Sorry honey" I hugged her "I drained all my emotions many years ago. I'm hollow as a skeleton inside"

They remained silent because there wasn't any initiations to this topic.

"I'll leave behind a file which contains all the important documents that you might require" I said back to work mode probably for the last time.

"For how long are you exactly leaving?" Jeanie asked.

"Probably a year"

Both of their jaws opened widely "Are you going on a vacation or hibernating?" Jeanie asked.

"Don't worry. Keep yourself so busy that you want even notice my absence" I said.

"At what then are you leaving tomorrow?" Lisa sobbed.

"You don't need to see me off. However, I will keep in touch with you once I reach there" I hugged them both.

"You better call us once you land, you cold girl" Lisa was already in tears.

"We will miss you a lot" Jeanie said.

"I love you both. This might be the last time we'll see each other"

The broke the hug "What do you mean?"

"If I might like it Korea, I'll stay there forever."

"Don't you dare!" Jeanie warned.

"We need you" Lisa said.

I need you guys more.

On the airport, I took out a sheet of paper and pen. ROSÈ BUCKET LIST. Things that I want to do before I die. I write down a few and scribble those which was related to work.

"This might take me a while" I sigh.

After a few hours I will be in Korea. The place that he and I had auditioned for but only he was chosen. How must he be doing? Is he an idol now? Does he still remember me? Does he still miss me? Perhaps, if I meet him he will have the answers to all my questions.
