Firelight | NCT Doyoung

제 40 회 - 사랑인 듯 아닌 듯

“Aniyo, we're bringing you to the hospital. Please, someone! Help!” I sobbed so much once again, “Aniyo, just.. Remember, eat right. Don't eat too much meat, drink lots of water, don't tire yourself, arasseo? You're anemic remember that, then.. Eat lots of vegetables to keep you healthy, drink those vitamins I bought for you every night, alright? I won't be able to monitor, and cook for you anymore.” Stop, stop, stop.. Don't say those words. Please, Jin.. “Hajima, jinjja hajimayo!” I pleaded as I watched him in pain.
“Jiho-ah, take care of yourself.. Remember, that I love you.”

And with that.. Jin, had lost his life.

“Jin, Jin!? Jin-ah!” I screamed, he wasn't responding anymore. I grabbed his body, and embraced him in my arms. “Jin-ah! Don't go, please!” I pleaded, and just waited for an answer to come. I stopped sobbing, I lifted my head, and glanced at the person who shot him.

“You! What wrong have a I ever done to you!? What did we do to make you hold a grudge on us!? You separated us, and now killed my best friend!? I'm not you letting go this time, you're going to rot in jail.”

I shouted at angrily, my eyes darkened at the sight of her. I was approaching her, when I heard the sirens ring. We all looked outside, and saw a pack of police surround us. “Drop the gun!” The police shouted, “N-No! I'm not going to jail!” Taeyeon shrieked I'm panic, she held her gun in the level of her head, “No!” We all screamed, and..

*bang*

..she killed herself.

I gasped in shock, my eyes enlarged, as I saw her corpse fall on the floor. I slowly backed away, and returned to Doyoung's grasps. “She committed suicide.” I muttered in trauma, “Taeyeon!” Mrs. Kim shouted in sadness, their family ran to the breadwinner on the floor. “No, my sweet child.. Why!?” We bowed our heads in sadness, “Noona..” I looked up at Doyoung, tears were escaping his eyes. I felt bad about it. “I'm sorry, Doyoung-ah.” I embraced him comfortably in my arms, as he sobbed silently on my shoulders.

“Taeyeon!”

The citizen who was shot by a convict, also including the convict were sent to the hospital.

They declared them dead on arrival. Mingyu only received a minor wound on his head, from bring spanked by a brick at the back of  his head. Jin's family mourned for his death, they brought him back to Paris, where they prepared his funeral. Taeyeon here, was sent back to Seoul for her burial.

Jiho here, almost lost her baby. She got stressed, that almost led to a miscarriage. Yet, the wedding ended happily. They canceled their honeymoon, due to Doyoung's condition, and Jiho's pregnancy. So, they just both stayed in Denver, instead of flying to Rio city.

Doyoung got better every single day, his health was keeping up with him. Yet, his health stop improving, once he felt a stomach pain. His anorexia killing his him. He needed that treatment, yet they didn't take the risk, since he also had another death striking decrease.

For months, he stayed at home, with Jiho taking care of him.

Until, the final month of Jiho's pregnancy came.

She was rushed to the hospital for her laboring, all of the Kim's came along, except Yoojin who kept in company with Doyoung. It only took five minutes, before the child was born.

“It's a girl!”

The doctor shouted, Jiho heaved out a sigh of relief, before passing out.

A day after..

They brought Doyoung to the hospital, to check up on his daughter. Jiho was already conscious, she was already carrying their baby. “Jiho eonnie!” Yoojin greeted her in a happy tone, as she pushed Doyoung inside, he was so nervous. “Doyoung-ah! Come closer! Look at your beautiful daughter!” Mrs. Kim commanded him, and he  shakily complied.

He took in a deep breath, before walking over to Jiho. “Well, carry her.” Jiho smiled at him, and he pushed a smile, as he had first scooped his child in his arms. The child smiled, and giggled at the sight of her father, Doyoung smiled, then laughed in the utmost joy. “I'm a father, I'm a father!” A tear of joy escaped his eye.

“Jiho-ah! Thank you!” Doyoung embraced his wife as well, a family it was. “So, what should we name her?” Jiho asked Doyoung, as she caressed her daughter's  cheek. “Hyunyoung, Kim Hyunyoung.” Doyoung replied, with a smile. Jiho nodded and gazed down at their offspring, Kim Hyunyoung.

They were in heaven for them, this was their beatitude.

For the first year as a father and mother.

They had some ups and downs, they took turns in night shifts. Yet, for Doyoung, he equally needed much more rest. So, it was Mrs. Kim and Jiho who would do most of the baby time.

Doyoung grew weaker and weaker, as time passes. He became thinner, and pale. Until, it was Hyunyoung's first birthday.

The little girl learned so fast, she now knows how to talk, she learned how to walk a little. But what shook the small child's mind was her father, she thought twice about him. Why he was always in bed, she would watch him from afar, as he roughly breathes in from the dexterous.

Doyoung couldn't digest food, he couldn't walk at all. He was always rushed to the hospital, until the doctors had already set Jiho straight.

He was far too incurable..

She was devastated.

She knew she had to tell Doyoung, and his family.

---

“Doyoung, is anorexic.”

Jiho announced it to his family in the living room, catching all their attention. “Last year, he.. Was diagnosed with anorexia, and he has..” Jiho took up her courage, and told them straight.

“He has cerebral ataxia.”

Their eyes enlarged at the hearing of it, “Cerebral ataxia, is a life penetrating disease, it was at it's highest stage when Doyoung was first rushed to the hospital, last year. The doctors wanted to give him the therapy for anorexic people. But, then.. He told me that it's too risky, he might even lose his life along the process of the treatment.” Jiho explained it thoroughly to them, Mrs. Kim broke down in tears, she turned to her husband, and mourned again.

“He can no longer be cured.”

There, was the start of the most saddening event in their life.

Doyoung was about to leave them permanently.
