"Fate it is then."

Chapter 13 (Part 2)

Sungjae's POV

Dark. That's the only suitable word to describe my surrounding. Then I realized my eyes were shut closed. I tried opening it but I can't.

I heard footsteps nearby me.

Doctor : "What is your relationship with the patient?"

Joohyuk : "His brother."

Doctor : "Are you guys blood related?"

He hesitated a bit.

Joohyuk : "....Not really..."

Doctor : "Well it seems like Yook Sungjae sshi (kind of like Mr) has a genetic disease called Brugada Syndrome. Brugada syndrome (BrS) is a genetic condition that results in abnormal electrical activity within the heart, increasing the risk of sudden cardiac death. Those affected may have episodes of passing out. The abnormal heart rhythm often occur when a person is at rest and may be triggered by a fever. (A/N :Thank u wikipedia!) Does he has any relative that has the same disease?"

Joohyuk : "Yes...His father...Does it have any cure?"

Doctor : "It does...but...there's no specialist in Korea."

Joohyuk : "Then, is there any other way?"

Doctor : "There is...but...the treatment should be done at United States because they have so many specialists."

Joohyuk : "How long do you think it would take to get him treated?"

Doctor : "I'm afraid around 5 years..."

Joohyuk : "5 years?!?"

Doctor : "But the percentage of success is too low. The risk is too high. He might not survive while having a surgery."

How worse can my life be? My father died. My mom has another husband and a child. I...have a life-threatening disease called some-gada syndrome?

Then I heard footsteps that sounded going further away from me which I supposed were both of them leaving my room.

After that, my eyes opened on their own. And I felt teardrops falling down to my cheek. But I saw Sohyun walking towards me and I quickly wiped my tears. I didn't know why but I didn't wanna look like a coward and a crybaby in front of her.

Sohyun : "Gwaenchana? (Are you okay)"

Sungjae : "Dangyeonhaji. (Of course) Why do you wanna know? Mind your own business."

Then she let her both small hands covering her smaller-than-her-own-hands face. And she cried uncontrollably.

I...kinda started panicking.

Sungjae : "M..mwoya? (What the hell) Why are you crying? Did I said something wrong? Or...ah! Did I do something wrong?"

I felt so wronged because I thought she looked cute while crying.

Sohyun : "I..*sob*..was really scared that something might happen to you..."

Sungjae : "Eihh...Don't lie. I know you wished something really happened, right?"

Sohyun : "Anigeodeun! (No) I'm being really sincere here."

Sungjae : "Wipe your tears off! Yeokgyeoweo, jjinjja! (It's disgusting, really)"

She took my shirt and wiped her tears off it.

Sungjae : "Aish, Jjinjja! HALMEONI! (Ah, seriously! Grandma!) It's dirty!!"

She ran away after grinning at her act.

Sungjae : "Ya! Wait!"

Sohyun : "Ah, wae?(Why)"

I really wanted to say "Don't go." but it just won't come out.

Sungjae : "Aniya. (Nothing) I just wanted to say, wipe your nose."

Her face turned red like tomato. I don't know why but she looked cute to me. She wiped her nose and walked away furiously.

I laughed at her act and smiled happily.
