Case 2

Case 1

*•*•*

Y/N

"Let's go visit your father today." Your mother said quietly.

You looked up slightly to see your pale mother shake at her own words.

You were shook. She hadn't spoken about your father since two months ago. And no, it wasn't like they had divorced or hated each other.

Your father was ill... he had cancer to be exact. He was going to pass away in few days and your parents decided to separate themselves away from each other so it wouldn't hurt them.

You knew your mother wouldn't be able let go of your father once seeing him. If you guys did visit the hospital, she would probably take a glance at him before waiting outside his room. The only time she would dare to see him and stay beside him would be the day of his death.

You nodded silently and your brother, Jinsoo did as well.

The rest of breakfast was eaten in silence.

*•*•*

"You dressed up nicely." You jabbed your brother's arm, teasing him.

He only dressed up like that when meeting his girlfriend who happened to be named Jinsoo as well.

"Appa shouldn't see us wearing shabby clothes before his... you know." He examined you as well.

Noticing his glance, you twirled to show your skirt that spanned our and spiraled around you.

He looked away after a few seconds, honestly not caring wether you wore formally or not.

Your mom brought the car out from the garage as you and your brother got in.

In the car, you called the cafe manager saying you couldn't work your shift today because of important family matters.

...

"Appa wanted to see you successful Y/N. He didn't want to see his daughter working at a cafe getting minimum wage." Your brother said glumly.

You frowned at him in response. You brother had once been a cheerful man, full of jokes and laughter, just like your mom was a bright and young woman.

Now your mother seemed to have aged a decade and your brother looked like your old retired uncle who had nothing better to do in his life except sleep.

The only thing that made either of them smile was seeing their life partners healthy and jubilant. Your father was the total opposite,which didn't help your mother's condition, and Jinsoo was out of town, therefore unable to keep your brother company.

You were now the head of the family who had to try bring the joy out of hiding and do all the work while at it.

It stressed you out, but when you thought about it, it wasn't anything compared to what your father or mother was going through.

On the other hand, your brother was just being a douche.

"We're here." Your brother said to you while shaking you lightly.

You snapped out of our thoughts to see your mother and brother already waiting outside of the car. You exited as well before looking up at the enormous hospital.

Walking into the bustling place, you saw a large amount of surgeons running about.

Your brother tugged you as you became lost easily. You followed him to the front desk to ask what room your father was in. After achieving the information, you headed straight  down the hallways to search for your father's room.

*•*•*

"Eomma?" You asked turning around to meet her gray eyes.

Your hands touched the cold metal handle as both you and your brother looked at your mother. What would she do? Was she okay with entering? Did she want to wait out here?

"... Les go in." Your mother said boldly before grasping your hand and the handle, opening it together.

You skipped forward to see your father sleeping.

"Should we wake him up?" You asked afraid that something might go wrong.

Your mother shook her head and just sat beside him. This was the only way for her to see him without being hurt so much.

"This is better for us..." A single tear ran down her cheeks as your brother pressed your mother's shoulders to comfort her.

You grasped your father's frigid frozen hands. You were sure you could see his eyes open slightly and close again for a second, but maybe they were hallucinations of hope.

Your brother took your mother, who started to breakdown into tears, outside of the room.

"We'll be back." He mouthed before leaving.

Maybe he wasn't such a douche after all.

"Oppa doesn't do any chores or work at the house, but when I thought about it, he's actually the one who keeps the family under control and together. He comforts eomma and helps me to stay put. He even makes sure that I won't be lost at a place like this-"

As you were speaking to your father you suddenly heard a long clear beep. You turned your head to the heart rate monitor, finding your father's pulse to be lost.
