Yoongi thought it was best to let people out of his heart. After losing so much in his life, he tried to fill his void with alcohol, women, and tattoos.
Until he met her.
He didn't knew what made him so into Somin. But, at the same time that she e...

"How long does she have?" Mr. Park asked with a weary voice, while his wife squeezed his hand with teary eyes. They had received the news that her daughter's kidney was failing. The only one she still had left.
"We can't think like that. She is on the waiting list for kidney transplants." The doctor said with a hopeful look.
"But she's not at the top. They consider her a flight risk! So yeah, we need to think like that. All of our lives we had to think like that so that we could live our lives at the most." Mrs. Park argued and the doctor sighed, looking at the conformed couple.
Somin stayed silent looking at the window. Dealing with death became a daily thing for her. She wasn't scared to die anymore. She was dealing with cancer since she was almost two years old when she first was diagnosed with leukemia, due to lymphoma. Jimin was born 11 months later with a promise that the stem cells from his umbilical cord could save her.
But, adding to their misfortune, the lab where those stem cells and many others were caught on fire and there was nothing they could do to save Somin anymore, other than trying to have another kid. The Parks tried, but nothing worked due to the stress and desperation. They were confirmed on losing Somin at the age of 5, but she resisted.
It was when they met their new neighbors, the Kim's. Mrs. Kim was a renowned geneticist and she took interest in Somin's case. She tried her best to come up with some treatment to help her live long enough to receive a bone marrow transplant from her baby brother, who had to be at least 19 to be able to donate.
It was risky and it could not work, but the Park's were invested in trying.
At the age of 11, Somin had her first surgery. Even with the treatment, the cancer was spreading and affecting her organs. She had to take out her spleen and dose up her treatments. But that was killing her organs and at her 15 she had to take out a dysfunctional kidney and dose down her treatments.
However, it didn't help much since her other kidney didn't take more than two years to start failing too. She needed a transplant.
With medication and dialysis, she was able to last two more years before receiving the news that new organs were failing inside her body. And that was the reason why her parents were now expecting the worst.
