The Nineteenth Chapter

Daesom struggled to sit up with wide eyes as she gaped at the man who just arrived. Sehun immediately supported her arms to help her since she still looked so weak. “Daehyun, w-what are you doing here?” She stammered.

“I booked a flight immediately when Kris called me about your condition yesterday. Why didn’t you tell me sooner, Daesom? How long have you been suffering like this?” Daehyun asked frantically.

“K-Kris told you? You’re here.. why did you come here? Both of you, why did you –“ She wasn’t able to continue what she was saying because she clutched her chest tightly and started panting. Sehun panicked as he saw how she seemed to be running out of breath and having chest pains.

“Daesom, what’s happening? Hey, get a hold of yourself.” Sehun tried to speak to her calmly, since he might worsen her condition if she saw his alarm. He honestly didn’t know what to do.

Daehyun, however, wasn’t able to hide the panic in his voice. “We should call the nurse!” He looked frantically around the room and found a button on the left side of the wall beside Daesom’s bed. He quickly went around and pressed it, before running out of the room to call the nurses himself.

Soon enough, a nurse came rushing inside Daesom’s room with apparatuses that Sehun didn’t bother identifying. “Please step out of the room for the moment.” She instructed both guys before turning to her patient.

Daehyun and Sehun were both hesitant to go out, seeing that Daesom was still struggling but they heeded the nurse’s advice. As soon as they got outside the room, Dr. Zhang rushed inside. “What happened here?” They heard the doctor ask.

The two men stood on opposite side of the walls in the hallway outside Daesom’s room. Sehun was worried sick and all he wanted was to go back inside there and stay on her side. She was in pain and he couldn’t stand to see her like that. He snuck a glance at her brother who was probably as worried as Sehun was. Daehyun’s eyes were still on the door of her room.

Sehun could hear indistinct talking from Dr. Zhang and the nurse, the sounds of some apparatuses being moved and Daesom’s uneven breathing pattern. After a few minutes, things seemed to calm down. He wanted to rush back inside and see how she was doing but he was afraid that he might worsen her condtion.

When Dr. Zhang came out, Sehun quickly stood up straight and rushed to him at the same time that Daehyun did. “How is she?” Daehyun asked before Sehun could even open his mouth.

The doctor looked at Daehyun, then at Sehun, before returning his gaze to Daesom’s brother. “And you are?” Yixing asked.

“I’m Daesom’s older brother, Jung Daehyun. Is she alright now?”

Yixing nodded in recognition. “Oh yes, yes. Kris told me about you. Well, her condition’s stable for now. One of the complications of SCD is having chest pains and trouble in breathing. I think the presence of both of you surprised her and she started having an anxiety attack. I gave her some sedatives to calm her down; I think she’s sleeping again right now. I suggest that you let her rest for now and just visit her again tomorrow.”
