Sinner | ONEUS

05

Lee Keonhee held his sister's pale and skinny hand as he watched her sleep in the hospital bed. Tubes and needles on her slim body. The heart monitor's beeping is the only one that can be heard in the room. She's still unconscious.

"Solar noona. Please, wake up. Mom and dad is really getting more worried that you still won't open your eyes neither move your body. Please just wake up." he cried. Then the door creaked open, stepping in their parents that was going to look after their dear Solar.

"Keonhee, you need to get some rest. You might get sick." his mother sat next to him and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"I'm okay, mom. I'm fine." he whispered, not wanting to move away from his beloved sister. He wanted to see her wake up and smile once again. Then when she gets well, she would say that she wanted to go shop new fashionable clothes with him and she would watch him dance while cheering on the side of the room just like they used to do.

"Please, Keonhee. Your sister wouldn't be happy to see you like this when she wakes up. You need to stay strong and healthy for her to be happy." his parents were right. Solar wouldn't be happy seeing him getting more thinner than he was.

He slightly nodded and finally let go of her hand. "Okay then. Please let me know instantly when she wakes up. I wanna be the first one that she would see." his father smiled. "Okay, son. We will do that." he patted his shoulder before he went out of the room.

He sighed tiredly and his eyes blinked slowly begging to close them and rest. He then drove home and went to his room. He first saw himself in the mirror of his room. The dark circles under his eyes were very visible. He looked terrible.

His clothes looked even more bigger than it used to be. He overworked himself in dancing to be good enough to audition in a talent agency and be an idol. That was his dream after all.

"I have to be better. Noona won't be happy seeing me like this." he said to himself then finally rested his weak body on his bed.

"Honey, we have a problem." Mr Lee approached his wife who was silently sitting next to their unconscious daughter. She looked at her husband, seeing him looking so frustrated and stressed made her worry even more.

"What is it?" she asked then he sighed sharply before speaking up. "I'm afraid we won't be able to pay Solar's bills..." she slowly stood up from her seat with her eyes wide open.

"What do you mean? Didn't you withdraw our savings this morning?"

He look down at his feet, "Yes, I did. But I got robbed after a thief barged in the bank... that bastard took my wallet, everything!" he shook his head then ran a hand on his face.

"Honey," she looked at her husband in disbelief, crying at the same time. "Why is this happening to us? What should we do now?" she sobbed in his chest.

"I-if we can't pay the hospital bills of Solar, she won't be able to make it." the couple cried infront of their sleeping daughter who's suffering just like them.

Later that night, Mr Lee went to check how much their daughter's hospital bills costs, only to turn out making him frustrated even more. Where could he get a huge amount of money when he's only a teacher and his salary isn't even enough to pay atleast half of it?

He also needed money to pay Keonhee's tuition fee in his university in the next month and his wife's medications for her weak heart. Why is this happening to them? What have fate done?
