I slam open the door and runs towards her. The doctors hold me back as Haejin checks on her. I yell in anger and try to get out of their grip. The doctors pull me back and Haejin turns around puts his hand up. The doctors stop and I look at him.
"Taehyung, has Dasom been having breathing problems?"
"Yes but it was under control."
"Well, that 'under control' you are talking about, made her faint due to air loss."
"That can't be possible. The doctors said that it was under control."
"Taehyung why do you think the doctor brought her to me. He didn't have it 'under control'."
I grit my teeth and clench my fist.
He's right..
I groan and Haejin signal the doctors to get me out of the room. I pull away from their grip and head to Haejin. I look up at him and glare.
"You make sure she is better. 'Cause I don't care who you are, a doctor, a friend or even her brother.. I will kill you if she dies in your care." I state in a low tone.
He scoffs and I stomp out. Some doctors stay with Haejin and Dasom and some come with me. They begin to give me details of how her condition is now.
"Mr. Kim. Dasom will be fine, she is just having a little complications but they can easily be handled by Doctor Park. He is a professional in these situations. Besides Mr. Kim we need to ask you few things about how her state was back in Korea, they sent us her files and medical information from her stay there, but we were told that you never left her side while she was in the hospital. So we would like to hear your experience around her." A doctor with two different colored eyes said as the others beside him nod.
"Well." I blankly look at them.
I sit down on the chair next to the door and they gather up.
"Dasom, did what she had to do, even if she didn't want to. She took her naps, eat her food at scheduled hours and she was always complaining about being in the hospital. The whole month we were there, in three occasions she slept for a whole 2 days. The doctor couldn't figure out what it caused her long term sleeping. She was on a diet and she only threw up two time in the whole month. She had breathing problems but like I said before, I was told they were under control but they weren't." I grit my teeth.
He nods and writes everything down. Sudden footsteps are heard from down the hall. I face up and see Jin, with Gina and Nathan. Nathan and Gina rush to my side and check if I'm alright. I pull my hands out of Gina's hold. She sighs and bows to the doctors. They nod.
"Young Master, what's wrong?" Gina asks.
"Dasom is having breathing complications." I say lowly.
She gasps and Nathan hugs her in his arms. Gina loves Dasom like her daughter. Dasom is like the daughter she never had. Gina grips Nathan shirt as she cries softly. Nathan rubs her back.
"It's just a breathing problem that just started this last month." Nathan states.
"No it's not! She has had breathing problems even before we got to the hospital She has had them since three months ago!" Gina shouts.
My eyes widen and so does Nathan's. We look at her.
"What do you mean?!" I clench my fist.
"I'm sorry for not telling you young master. She told me not to tell you. She begged me because she said she knew you would get worried and that it would pass. Master, she is hiding even more health issues. She only told me about the breathing problems because I saw her on the floor trying to get some air. I didn't know it would get this bad." She cries as she kneels down on the floor and bows with her face inches away from the floor.
I stand up and open the door to the room. Haejin turns around.
"What is it now, Taehyung?" He groans.
"Dasom is hiding more health issues. She hid the fact she had this breathing problems before we got to the hospital."
Haejin looks down at Sommy, then back up at me.
"Taehyung."
"Yes?"
"When Sommy was a little girl she had 'ITP' short for Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura which is a disorder that can lead to easy or excessive bruising and bleeding. The bleeding results from unusually low levels of platelets the cells that help blood clot.
Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, which is also called immune thrombocytopenia, affects children and adults. Children often develop ITP after a viral infection and usually recover fully without treatment. She completely recovered and our family was so happy. Soon enough my parents were taking to the North. Dasom never saw them again. I lived with Dasom alone in a apartment of two rooms. I knew that I wanted to study to become a doctor because then I could help Dasom if she ever need anything, plus with the money we would be stable economically. I was in the honor roll and got accepted to Harvard. Then the presidents of the North saw my potential and took me to the North. I helped his heart condition and he kept me in the North for the experiments he held there. There was no way possible I could leave, he grew a liking to me and treated my like a son. And if I had escaped, they would kill Dasom. Somehow I got away and found out Jin knew about Dasom and helped me find her." He sighs out as he sits on a stool.
He faces me and his eyes full of distress. I wish I could say that everything is going to be okay, but it's not. Dasom is dying, Haejin is trying to save her and I'm just a husband who's losing hope. He closes his eyes and breathes in.
"In adults, the disorder is often long term. If a person doesn't have signs of bleeding and the platelet count isn't too low, they may not need any treatment. In rare cases, the number of platelets may be so low that dangerous internal bleeding occurs. Unfortunately, for Dasom, she is one of those rare cases. Treatment options are available and she is going under them with me. I'll be taking care of her treatments and conditions." He opens his eyes and looks into my eyes.
"All we need to do now is pray she'll be fine." He adds as he looks down at her.
