【Ｃｈａｐｔｅｒ Ｔｈｒｅｅ】

I lay in a hospital bed and watched Zen from my mirror in the room, he was on call with jaehee and telling her the situation. He entered the room and sat next to my hospital bed, he sighed heavily "You don't have to hide the fact your worried" I murmured, his gaze met mine and he soon broke away "Yeah but your the one who's being strong, I've got to be stronger" I smiled and the same doctor from before entered. She smiled before looking towards Zen "Could I please talk to you outside" he nodded his head and walked out of the room.

He followed her to his office and she stood by the door "I'm so sorry" She muttered "From what she's told me, and telling my team, it's a high risk she has pulmonary Tuberculosis" She held out a leaflet and it had in big words 'pulmonart tb' he grabbed it and the doctor opened the door. "We're going to run an x-ray on her ribs at quater to 5, so please make sure here stuff is brought here." He nodded his head and walked back to your room.

You sat in bed violently coughing, tears streaming your eyes and nurse stood in the room rubbing your back and holding your hand, Zen walked into the room and he quickly ran to your side "Should I bring a sick bowl?" The nurse questioned patting your back. Your throat burned from the blood now on Zen's hands, he looked down at it and his hair fell over his face as he looked down his head turned back up to you and he had a bright smile "Mc, you're going to end up  coughing up your heart" I smiled back and the nurse passed him a wet paper towel. I rubbed my mouth "There's no way I'm letting my heart leave, it's filled with you too much" He smiled sweetly as he rubbed the blood off. "What did the nurse say to you" His gaze flinched to the leaflet in his back pocket and he smiled sweeter than before "They're given you and X-ray soon, to see if you have it" I nodded my head.

~~~

Time had passed and Jaehee was now in the hospital room and I nervously awaited my results from the x-ray, "Have you told anyone else?" Jaehee muttered to Zen trying to stop the silence lingering in the room, Zen shook his head "Are you" his gaze met mine

"Only if we know for certain and if Mc is ok with  it" a smile played on my lips and I nodded my head "If I'm going to die they'll have to know" Zen's face drained of colour and he looked away from me. I knew what I said would upset him but it was the truth that had to be faced eventually. "I'm sure you'll be just alright" I smiled nodding my head at Jaehee "I mean it's rare to catch it on a bus, or a train" her voice trailed off

"But Mc's imune system" Zen cut in "It's always been weak" I dropped my gaze to my hands, I squeezed them shut and blinked back my tears "It's fine, I'll be fine" I chirped sitting at my bed. Jahee let out a sigh with a smile mirroring mine on her lips, the doctor walked in his face was so sour that tears dripped from my cheeks even before she had spoke. "I'm regretfull to inform you-" I sobbed loudly covering my mouth to let him continue "You're suffering with pulmonary tuberculosis" I looked towards Zen, his eyes were lined with tears.

"Is their no way of getting rid of it" She shook her head

"We could try infecting her with a bigger disease and her white blood cells fight it off, but her imune system is too weak to go through that trauma" my body trembled from every word she spoke "I'm going to die" I squeaked the sadness full in my voice. The nurse avoided my gaze but nodded firmly "Do you know how long for?" The nurse looked towards Jaehee who was trying to hide her emotions "Maybe a couple weeks"

"Maybe?" Zen muttered his head in his hands. "This isn't right, she hasn't done a single thing wrong in her life" Zen's hands scrunched into fists "Why should she have to suffer this bad" the nurse gaze was set on the floor "You have to do something" He shouted

"Not unless a cure is made she cant-"

"It's fine Zen" I smiled politely at him. His eyes was a dark shade of red "I'll be fine" I lied "We've been through so much, it's not the first time I could of died"

"This is different Mc" his voice shook as he listened to my words

"And someone threating to blow me up isn't?" The doctor gasped and I looked over to her "Long story, maybe I'll get the time to tell you" I looked back over to Zen. "I won't be confined to this bed you know, we can go do things I've always wanted to do" he nodded his head and bit his lip, Jaehee placed a hand on his shoulder "I'll tell the RFA" I nodded my head and the doctor and jaehee left the room.

I let out a shakey sigh "Zenny, you said you have to be stronger than me" I reached out to him and his hands entangled with mine "So you can't ever become weak, because I'll feel like I am" he nodded his head and I wiped his tears off "You should call the RFA members, it'll be better you speaking to them" he nodded his head and looked towards his phone. "No service" he muttered and then looked up at me "Don't worry babe I'll be back for you"

"My prince in shining armour please complete your quest" I giggled after and he left the room. As I felt him be as far away as possible I frowned, tears fell from my eyes and I didn't bother wiping the substance away "I wish I could be with you whenever you complete a quest" I whispered. I wiped the tears from my face and schooled the best smile on my face.
