SUHO

Seoul,
Les Marseilles,

I was busy looking at the files, checking for some new projects with Luhan. Aih, I don't even have the idea when did I start to make him like a brother. Yuri! Argh, Luhan likes Yuri. How come I didn't realize this? He's the only hope for me to get rid of Yuri. Well, she's not disturbing us anymore after the incident she kidnapped Dash and Star few weeks ago. She was arrested because Luhan made a report. So far, Yuri didn't find my family to make more trouble. Why? Because she's going to be in the coffin if she dared to do something like that. Suddenly, my phone rang. I picked it up.

"Love, why?"

"Star! Come to the hospital right now!"

CHORONG

Seoul Medical Centre,

"Star! Are you okay?"

I was panicked when I received a call from the kindergarten telling that Star is in the hospital. She fainted on their trip in the bus. God, why on earth did this happen? Luckily I wasn't in the office, it would take longer to reach the hospital. I tried to reach Suho for few times, but he didn't answer. I swear I'm going to kill him. How come he can be busy with works and meetings while his daughter is in the hospital? I looked to the back and saw Dr Hong.

"Mrs Kim?"

"Nae.."

"Let's have a private talk. I told this to Star already. Star, can you wait?"

"Nae, doctor" Star replied, weakly.

I caressed my daughter's hair and kissed her cheeks before leaving the ward with Dr Hong. We went to her room, I took my seat. It was awkward, I last met her 5 years ago. Well, Dash was born in London, that's why we didn't have any appointment. My eyes met Dr Hong's. She looks unhappy, something bad happened to Star? No, no, never. She's fine, maybe she's just tired. I heard Dr Hong sighed. Argh, what is wrong with my daughter?! She turned the monitor of her computer facing me. Unfortunately, I understood nothing.

"Why, doctor?"

"I'm so sorry, Mrs Kim. But, if you can see, this is your daughter's lungs. It's in a very bad condition for a five year old. We suspected her having lung cancer"

"Nae? Lung cancer?"

"Yes, look at her left lung. This is her heart, we don't know yet. But, from what I saw in this scan, yes. Your daughter is having first stage of lung cancer"

"Huh.. I.. don't know. No one in my family have this cancer. Even Suho's mom don't have lung cancer. Do we need operation, doc?"

"No, not yet. We can let her having therapy to avoid the cancer cells become bigger. If we tried to operate her so soon, chances for your daughter to survive is... maybe like 30%? Or, maybe she will be alive, but.. she needs to go for therapy the whole of her life. I think, you should call your husband and discuss about this. And, Star knew about her having breathing problems. It started two years ago. Perhaps, you were in London, right? Haih, even Mr Kim didn't realize this"

"I will leave first, doc. Kamsahamnida"

I stood up and bowed to Dr Hong. I walked and left the doctor room with Star's scan results. My daughter has a cancer that neither me nor Suho have it. I sat on the bench, my tears fell. Why is it must people that I love?! Didn't God know that I love Star so much? She's my daughter, Dash's sister, Suho's daughter. Why did this kind of thing only happen to me? Argh, I hate my life! I took my phone, reaching for Suho.

"Honey, are you there?"

"Love, why?"

"Star! Come to the hospital right now!"

"Why? Babe, tell me. I'm on my way"

"Star.. she has a lung cancer!"

"Mwo?! What stage? Aish, jinjja! Don't hang up, I'm in front of the hospital"

"First stage. Ppali, why didn't you answer the other calls?! Where did you go?!"

"I have meetings, okay? Is Dash there?"

"No, I asked mama to fetch him at the nursery"

I heard his voice. I turned my head to the left and saw him running with his phone on his ears. I quickly ran to him, hugged him and cried. We sat on the bench, I placed my head on his chest. He took the scan results from me, examining it. I heard him sighing, seriously?! What's that sighing for? I looked at him, he was frowning. At this state of time, he can still frown on his daughter's condition? Stupid.

"Haih. What a burden"

"Mwo?! What do you mean by burden? It's our daughter!"

"Yes, I know! It's a burden! To my works, to you, to Dash, to Star herself! Just let them operate her! It's wasting my time"

I was completely shocked. This is not the way Suho talked. He's being selfish! "Yah, pabo! You know it's risky to let a 5 year old to go in the OT! Are you out of your mind, Suho? You sounded so selfish! This is so not you"

"Nae. It's a burden. I have many things to worry about. My company, my staffs. I can't focus on this too much. It will ruin my company"

Fuck. Never knew he could be a bastard.

"I shouldn't have been marrying you before this. I shouldn't fall for you. I never know that you are so selfish. No wonder you're so possessive towards me. You're coward! You're afraid of losing what's yours! You have to remember that your company is formerly your dad's company! How can you say it will ruin your company? It ruined you and me already!"

"And then, what? We can use magic to destroy the cancer in the blink of an eye? You can do it, right? The money you got by being a famous designer in London, Lea Kim? I thought you're rich enough to pay for the hospital bills"

He smirked. This time, it's not the teasing smirk. He's not like himself. Damn, man.

"I will pay. But, you're her daddy. You have to take responsibilities too. You have lots of money. You can buy toys and gifts for us that costs nearly a million, can't you pay for her therapy bills?"

Suho laughed, cockily. I can't believe I married him.

"You sounded as if you were really poor. Gwenchana. How many? 10 billion, trillion? I can pay it for her"

"Kim Junmyeon!"

"I have works to do. It's just first stage and you're talking as if we're going to get a divorcement. But, I don't really care. Give me your account number and I will transfer the money"

I turned speechless. Is the person standing in front of me right now is Suho? Is this the real behaviour of my husband? He pat my shoulder and left the hospital corridor. I looked to the direction of Star's ward. She's looking so weak, I can't stand looking at her like that. I stood up and walked into her ward. I saw her smile, oh my God. My baby look so weak. I am not going to be with Suho anymore if Star heard everything. I took the stool and sat beside Star. I held both her hands.

"Mummy, am I going to die?"

"No, Star. You're fine. Everything is okay"

"Geotjimal. Daddy said I'm a burden. I heard everything"

"Aniyo. Daddy isn't feeling well and he's stressed with work. Just.. you're not a burden. You're our daughter"

"Geotjimal jaengi. Daddy meant what he said. He doesn't love me anymore. I'm a burden. You think I'm a burden too, right?"

"Star! You're not a burden. Just.. daddy is wrong. I know he didn't mean anything. Go to sleep, okay. I need to go home, check for your brother. Talk to your daddy"

"Nae. Jaljayo, mummy. Saranghae"

"Jalja. Nado saranghae"

I kissed Star's forehead and left her in the ward. She will be discharged in two days. I closed the ward door and left the hospital. Argh, he's really putting me in trouble. How can he say his own daughter a burden for him? He's really the worst daddy ever existed in the world. I drove my car, going to mama's house, taking Dash. I went back home and Suho was nowhere to be found. I regretted coming back. I took shower and went to bed. We can discuss about Star at office tomorrow. I checked my phone before going to sleep.
