After he had stormed out of the room, I waited for him to come back but he didn't. I know I was being a bitch by not telling but I didn't want him to feel burdened by me. I wanted him to live his life without knowing that I was a time bomb.
A soft knock on the door snapped me out of my thoughts. A head peeped through the small gap, "Hey."
"Hey Max. Is Jade awake? I was going to come just now." I waved at him to sit on the stool beside me.
"She is awake, I am really glad that she is awake. Two months without her was very stressful for me."
He continued speaking, "You know when you had that panic attack, Sehun looked like he was losing himself. He looked so lost and when the doctor said that you had a heart failure, he looked as if the doctor told him he was going to die today."
"So?" I asked him like I didn't care.
"Don't act in front of me, Jennie. I have known you for four years, you are in pain. But Sehun is hurt right now. So will be your family."
I stayed quite not knowing what or how to reply. What was I to say? That the doctor said I will dead if the transplant went wrong or how if I didn't find the donor, the survival rate will keep on dropping?

"You stupid witch! I hate you right now." I said as soon as I entered Jade's room and surprisingly Sehun was there laughing with her.
It was as if we didn't have the argument four hours ago. It made my heart hurt a little. A little. His laugh vanished when he heard my voice and I couldn't help but tear up.
After mentally making sure I was fine, I went to her. Immediately she pulled me into a bear hug.
"I will wait outside." He said not meeting my eyes. Giving Jade a kiss on her forehead he headed out not even acknowledging my presence. I guess I kind of deserved it.
"Don't worry, he will come around." Jade reassured me. But the thing is I am not sure if he will stick around now.
After talking with Jade made me feel relieved and like something was lifted off my shoulder.
"Ah right. Before I forget, did you see that girl's face?" I asked her when we were talking about why she was running away from Max that day.
Apparently, Max had been a dick to her and asked for some space. She begged for him for reasons and the only reason he gave was 'losing interest in you'. So, without much thought, she ran away from him only to be hit by the car.
Realization dawned upon her, but couldn't name the girl. She said she forgot the person's face but she knew that person. Just then the nurse came in and asked me to step out of the room and to make Jade rest.
"-don't mean anything to me. Consider her dead, Max. Moreover, I asked her to forgive me so that I didn't feel guilty." He said without any remorse. So, that's what he thought. I was already dead, he was right. I am in a position where I may not even survive the night.
He didn't have to act like he cared if he was going to bail out the last moment. He didn't have to act like he cared for me if he was going to say I am considered dead. He didn't have to do anything. He didn't have to ask for second chance if he was going to be like that.
I knew at some point we will both part our ways. I just didn't think it would be too soon. But it's for the better, at least I didn't fall for him again. Lie.
Without them noticing I started making my way out of the hospital and hitched for a cab. Shuffling all my clothes into my suit case, I booked the fastest flight back to Korea.
As I was walking down the stairs I missed my foot and fell down the stairs. My head bumped to the floor with a huge impact, I started to feel dizzy.
"Oh my god, Miss Jennie are you okay? Come here let me ice it for you." Marie said when she found me holding my head and entering the kitchen.
She passed me a cup of water while still icing my now throbbing head. She said that I should go to the hospital but I refused. Just by thinking of hospital, my heart started to clench. As the pain grew more the grip on the glass became more. Soon enough the glass shattered followed by a loud gasp.
"Lord, girl. Are you crazy? See now you have glasses all over your hand. Does it hurt? -of course it does, come lets go to the hospital."
Shoving her hand away I told her I will go alone. I grabbed my suitcase and made my way out. Behind me I could hear Marie screaming, something about why I was taking my suitcase.

I watched as my aunt called her friend over to the house through her house phone and walked over to me slapping my shoulder.
"Are you insane? Why didn't you get your hands treated and why did you walk in the rain? You know that you are not in the condition to get sick even more-"
"Auntie, I am fine. And I wanted to walk, you know get some exercise. Moreover the distance between the hospital and your home is not that long. You know the rain don't inform when they visit us." I said trying to lighten up the mood. Though nothing was true except for the last sentence.
"Just be glad that I came home three days earlier. Otherwise you would have been sick. Speaking of where is Sehun. Weren't you guys together? What happened?"
"Uhm.. I-" I said but the doorbell saved me. I didn't want to talk about it or lie to her.
I should have already been on the flight to Korea but the bloody storm delayed the flight. The next flight won't be until tomorrow.
"Jennie dear, how to did you manage to have so many glasses?" Uncle Bruce said. Uncle Bruce was aunt's acquaintance.
My phone rang when the doctor was bandaging my left hand. I was about to reject it when Max's name flashed through it. I was scared that something had happened to Jade, so I immediately accepted it.
"Max? Is Jade okay?" I asked.
"Yes, she's fine. Why didn't you pick your phone. I have called you a thousand times. But where the fuck are you? Sehun go-"
"I am fine, don't worry about me. My phone was in silent so I didn't hear and tell Jade I will come by tomorrow."
Max let a frustrated sigh and said, "Listen Jennie, I don't know what you are playing but you have to come to the hospital."
"Why?"
"God. Jennie, you were MIA for seven hours. Sehun left the hospital to find you and he got into a accident!" He shouted from the other side of the line.
"Wh -what? Don't lie to me Max."
"I am not. Please come here, he is in the OT." He pleaded and I knew by then how serious it was.
"I am coming." I said as I made my way outside the room feeling scared as hell. I didn't want to loose him. Never.
For the second time that day, I heard them screaming for me to come back.
