jungwon scoffed, "then there's obviously something wrong with me."
the doctor sighed and switched the topic, "listen, i've got a hold of your dad as well. you know he's still your legal guardian, right?"
jungwon's eyes widened, "w-what? what does that mean?"
"i can't explain right now but, he agreed to bringing you in and out of the hospital."
"hospital..?"
dr. seong nodded, "you know, your condition's..." he paused and let out a deep breath, "it's severe."
it felt like he was having a hard time letting that out. jungwon sat in silence while the doctor went to the cabinet to check some things.
he continued, "we're just going to do some tests there." dr. seong said, "you'll get better."
jungwon was a bit in shock. he was scared as well.
the conversation with his dad made things all fall into place...
"am i... gonna die?" jungwon asked hesitantly.
dr. seong's eyes widened before he slowly turned around and forced a smile on his face, "of course not." he said, "don't ask such a thing."
jungwon
"of course not." dr. seong smiled, "don't ask such a thing."
what i didn't know, was that when people lie...
they smile.
he quickly cleared his throat when he noticed my face, "ah, um. are you enjoying life nowadays? who's that young girl that was with you?" dr. seong asked.
"she's my.." i paused,
"she's my bestfriend."
he nodded and adjusted his glassed, "great! that's good. uh, i'm glad you're not keeping everything to yourself." he smiled.
"yeah..." i hesitantly nodded.
"i'm assuming she knows everything, right?"
"yeah." i said again
he began rubbing his hands nervously, trying to figure out how to approach his next question carefully,
"how long can you go without seeing her?" he asked.
i tilted my head, confused, "not long." i admitted.
i heard him letting out a long breath before nodding. before he could speak again, i cut him off.
"why?" i asked, worried.
"ah, it's- it's because we're transferring you to the hospital, i told you this."
"okay? what does that have to do with me not seeing her? can i not see her in the hospital??" i asked without realizing i was raising my voice.
he shook his head, "that's not what i'm saying. it's just that, there are some things that prevent you from seeing your friends..."
i stood up, a bit angry.
"i'm not being transferred to the hospital then. i don't care what you say." i refused and hurried to the door.
"jungwon!" he said sternly.
"think about your mother." dr. seong said suddenly, causing me to stop.
"w...what?"
he slowly walked towards me and hesitantly put his hand on my shoulder, "she would've wanted you to live." he said.
so it's true.
i felt my eyes getting watery again.
i am going to die...
"and so would she." he added.
