Her Double

CHAPTER 17

An eerie silence plummeted inside the room as Jhy stared blankly and Jell fidgeted unconsciously down the corner.

They quietly waited for Jell's phone to buzz and ring. To make some noise to disturbed them. Finally her phone vibrated. Just in time.

FR: Baekhyun
- nasophryngeal cancer . Stage 4. I'm sorry.-

Everything went hazy gray blurred in her eyes as she tried to understand what she had read. She go on w/ every word over and over again. Repeated countless times, utter disbelief as her chest tighten and shaken her body entirely. She wanted to cry and grieve over Suho. 

But she felt guilty. He isn't hers. Why cry? As if her eyes listened to her thoughts that it remains stoic.

She clearly remembered the letter. Everything he said about time. Now it was completely clear. And when he called her Jhy it was gentle and loving. She hated herself for feeling swayed by him. This isn't the way she plan it. The way it must work.

How he sleep on her shoulder inside the plane and when she first met him inside the house.

"What did he say? What did Baekhyun say?"

Jhy interjected and she came back on her senses. She felt sorry for Jhy. For herself. Crap the whole thing. What if she finds out? What if she fainted? What if- Her thoughts was filled w/ anxious and worrisome.

"Uhm.. nothing just- ehem.. "

Jell fret biting her lips before resuming.

".. manager. Yeah. Manager."

"Your not a good liar. As if we're not twins right?"

Jhy smile weakly clutching on her blanket that cover her petite body up to her chest.

"Jhy.. I can handle this."

"Was it worst ?"

"It is-"

"Tell me. Pleasee.. "

Jhy sound pleadingly that Jell was unable to resist her. She slowly stand up and walk towards her handing the phone. Throwing her a look full of concerned before finally slipping the phone in her hand.

" I can handle this promise."

Jhy assured her and finally eyeing the screen of the phone. As if the time stopped and the wind suddenly halted and ever motion logs and their ears blocked every dripping sound.

When Jhy dropped the phone and fainted on her bed. Jell remained standing on her feet as the echo of the phone hitting the floor resonated.

Doctor Chen and the nurses come in rushing when every vitals of Jhy dropped. Still she heard a weak voice after a few minutes.

"..look at him Jell please.. leave me..Jun-Junmyeon.. Je-.."

-----

After a few debate w/ her mom and dad they finally let her go and come back to Korea to visit Junmyeon. Of course Jhy wins the argument and being the youngest, she was nagged until the airport reminding her to eat three meals a day, not stray in the street too late at night.

After hours at board, she was welcomed by her reliable and squishy manager.

"Feels long. You look tired. Want to rest first?"

Kyung Soo said as he approached her and get her things specially her luggage. She used on packing too much.

" Nah. Let's head straight down the hospital then home. Have you eaten yet?"
