30: Away

Lisa's POV (yay she's alive)

I woke up in a white walls and ceilings. I looked at my left and saw Jennie sitting while sleeping and holding my hands and dad and mom sleeping on the couch. Just looking at my dextrose and my hospital gown makes me mad. I really hate hospitals.

I slowly caress Jennie's head causing her to wake up. She looked at me with a surprised face.

"You're awake!" Jennie shouted causing my parents to wake up. They all went to me with a worried face. God, I hate this kind of drama.

"I'll call Jiyong." Jennie said then left the room.

"Sweetie, are you okay?" My mom asked. I nodded and smiled.

"I'm a Manoban, Mom. I'm strong." I joked and chuckled.

"You got us all worried, dear. Let's just go home." My dad looked at me pleadingly. I gave him a faint smile and shook my head.

"I won't leave Jennie. You know that." Then suddenly, Jennie and Jiyong came to my room. I looked at Jiyong and he looks really worried.

"Look at that doctor's attire. You look hot." I joked and Jiyong just smiled and shook his head. He checked my vital signs and whatsoever. I looked at Jennie who was fidgeting her fingers looking so sad.

"Baby, come here." I asked her and so she sat down and held my hands.

"I was so worried.." I can see her tears falling. I then wiped it away and kissed her hands.

"I'm okay. Don't worry." I reassured her and she just slowly nodded.

Jiyong then finished his check up and wrote something on his paper. He looked at us and put his pen back on his gown.

"As you can see, Lisa has an AML. Adult acute myeloid leukemia is a type of cancer in which the bone marrow makes abnormal myeloblasts a type of white blood cell, red blood cells, or platelets. Adult acute myeloid leukemia is a cancer of the blood and bone marrow. This type of cancer usually gets worse quickly if it is not treated quickly. In her case, she stopped her chemotheraphy so we gave her the estimated time left. Five years, Lisa." He then looked at me with a teary eyed. "It's getting worse."

Mom was already crying. Jennie held my hand tightly and looked at Jiyong.

"Is there any possibility that Lisa will survive?" Jennie asked.

Jiyong looked down and smiled bitterly.

"A miracle, Jennie. We need some miracle." With that, Jennie cried. I can't help myself to cry when everything starts to sink in. I'm dying and the only way I can survive is to have a miracle. I looked at Jennie and realized I can't afford to lose her. I want her to be my wife. I want to be with her for a long long time. I want to be with Jennie..

"So what's your plan?" Jiyong asked my parents.

"We'll stay he--"

"I want to go home." I interrupted them. I know that they will only lock me in this hospital. For fuck sake, I'm already dying. I don't want to live my remaining days here.

They all looked at me and my mom was about to say something when dad spoke.

"Alright, Lisa. You'll go home but no works from now on. Understood?"

I nodded and smiled. Jiyong nodded.

"Alright. I'll fix your papers. You'll be discharged later." With that, Jiyong left the room. I held Jennie's hand and caress it. She looked at me with the sad eyes. How I wish I won't witness that sad eyes again. She looks so tired and worn out. I smiled at her and said,
