No one's POV
"Doc, how is she?" Jiro asked.
"I hoped you prepared for the worst.....," The doctor told them about Min Jung's condition.
After he told the whole situation, Min Jung's mum widened in shock and choked in tears,"No..No..It can't be..Doctor! Tell me this isn't true!! You need to save my daughter! She's the only flesh and blood that I have!!"
Dayoung slowly looked up when she heard that.
"Only..flesh..and blood...?" She muttered.
She let go of her "mum"'s clothes. Eventhough she's just in preschool, she knows what her"mum" means by her only flesh and blood. Dayoung stood still, feeling a biggest shock in her life. Jiro saw Dayoung's expression and knew something was wrong. Meanwhile, Min Jung's mum was crying towards the doctor, begging to save Min Jung. Soon after, she passed out and luckily, Minhyuk and Jiro get a hold of her. The doctor as well Jiro and Minhyuk quickly brought her to the ward for treatment. After getting her to the ward, Jiro felt something was amiss. He looked left and right and totally forgot about Dayoung! He quickly left the ward.
"Yah! Where are you going?!" Minhyuk called out but he ignored.
Jiro searched the whole hospital and still did not find Dayoung anywhere.
*Dayoungie...where are you?* Jiro opened every ward while thinking of her safety.
Suddenly, he heard a cry from a corner. He followed the cry and saw Dayoung hiding herself, crying, in between the wall and the pot of plants. He approached her slowly.
"Dayoungie, why are you here?" Jiro asked.
She just cried, not giving an answer.
"...Are you hurt about what your mum says?" Jiro asked her.
She slowly looked at Jiro and said,"She's...not my MUM!!!"
Everyone who was near them looked at their direction. Jiro swallowed hard and try to comfort her.
"Dayoungie, she's still your mum," Jiro told her.
"....But I'm not her real..daughter...and Min Jung..is not my real unnie....," Dayoung cried.
"Dayoung ah..it doesn't matter if you're not her real daughter or your unnie's real sister, They still love you unconditionally. Have you seen your mum treat differently from your unnie? And have you seen your unnie ignored you even though she's busy with her work?" Jiro explained to her.
Dayoung stopped crying and slowly shooked her head. Jiro tilted her chin and looked at her with a smile and said," You are still part of their family. They love you more than you imagined."
Tears started to fall one by one from her eyes. She quickly hugged Jiro and cried her heart out. Jiro embraced her back and carried her.
"Let's go and see your mum in the ward. I'm sure she's worried sick that you're not there," Jiro said.
Dayoung nodded, still in his arms.
====================================
Once they reached her mom's ward, she called her name,"Dayoungie!! Sweetheart!!"
"Umma!" She got down from Jiro and hugged her mom.
"Where have you been? I've been worried sick," She hugged her tightly.
"Mianhae,umma," Dayoung apologised.
"Why are your eyes red? Did you cry?" Her mom looked at her red eyes.
She just stay silent. Her mom looked towards Jiro. He mouthed,*She knows that she is not your rael daughter.* Her eyes widened and looked at Dayoung.
"Dayoung ah, Umma mianhae. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. It's true..you're not my real daughter but I still loves you more than anything. You're part of my family now. Your unnie loves you the most out of everything," Her mom told her.
"Where.. did I come from?" Dayoung asked.
Her mom told her everything on the day she was adopted. She hugged Dayoung tightly while comforting her.Soon after, the same doctor came and told them that Min Jung was in ICU if they wanted to visit her. All of them went to the ICU and saw Min Jung lying motionless on the bed with all sorts of tubes around her. Her mom and Dayoung went into the ICU room while Jiro and Minhyuk waited outside the ICU room. They took turns to go in.
*Min Jung...I didn't expect you to be in this state...Please be well again..I miss your smile* Minhyuk looked at her with sadness while holding her hand.
When it was Jiro's turn, he sat on the chair beside her and held her hand.
"Min Jung...why didn't you tell me that you have this sickness? Do you know how worried I was when I found out that you have this?? Min Jung, please don't leave me. You are everything to me.. ," His tears started to fall and buried his face with his hands.
========================================================
The next day in school, Jiro was walking towards his locker when Cho Rong hugged his arm.
"Hai Jiro!" She smiled.
"What do you want?" He said.
"Hmm.. Wanna have lunch together today since we end school early?" Cho Rong asked.
"Not in the mood," Jiro said.
"Okay..then I'll have to give these photos to the meadia and...," Cho Rong blackmailed him.
"Fine. I'll eat lunch with you!" Jiro gave up.
"Good! Wait for me outside my class today. It's a date!" She said loud enough for the others to hear while walking off to her class.
*There's got to be a way to get those photos!* Jiro thought.
====================================
After school, Jiro waited for Cho Rong. When her class ended, she rushed to him and hugged his arm. Everyone looked at them and gossiped. Minhyuk who was on the way to his locker, saw Jiro with Cho Rong.
*What is he doing with Cho Rong? Is he two timed Min Jung since she's sick??* Minhyuk thought and slowly felt angry at the thought of playing feelings with Min Jung. He approached Jiro and Cho Rong.
"Hey Jiro!" Minhyuk called his name.
Jiro tuned his head and saw Minhyuk.
"Where are you both going?" Minhyuk asked.
"Minhyuk? What are you doing here?" Cho Rong asked.
"Is..none of your concern," Jiro said.
"None of my business?! Wasn't you suppose to be with her today? She needs you more there!" Minhyuk fumed with anger.
"You don't know what's going on...so just go," Jiro raised his voice.
"Oh really?!" Minhyuk gave him a sharp look.
Now everyone was near them, saw what was going on. Cho Rong saw the crowd was drawing in. She suddenly thought of an idea and said,"Guys, you don't have to fight over me..Well.. I know I'm pretty..obviously.. "
Jiro and Minhyuk looked at each other with anger while Cho Rong pretended to separate them.
"Seriously..Can't believe this," Minhyuk rolled his eyes and get out from the scene.
"Minhyuk~ I'll call you," Cho Rong pretended to be the cause of their "fights".
"She's so lucky that the 2 most popular guys head over heels of her..," Cho Rong smiled when she overheard one of the girls said to her friend.
"She's pretty anyways... I'm so jealous!" She smiled even more when she heard that.
"Jiro, let's go for our date or we'll be late," Cho Rong grabbed his arm and dragged him out the scene.
