hyejin
my eyes opened, and saw an unfamiliar white ceiling. before i could sit up, i felt something heavy on my tummy area. i looked down to see what it was, and there i saw my brother kim doyoung. his eyes closed, his head resting on my stomach as he hugged my hands tightly. he sat on a chair. i squinted my eyes, and scanned the room i was in. i saw my brother's bestfriend sicheng, sitting on the black sofa near the door. his eyes were looking into mine, filled with sadness and worried thoughts.
"doyoung?" i tapped his head several times, when it was the fifth time he finally lifted his head up. our eyes met, he let go off hands and pulled me into a hug. "hyejin~" he whispered and hugged me tighter. when he broke the hug, i sat up and scratched my head.
"where am i?" i asked, i looked at myself , dressed up as i patient in the hospital. it's was now pretty obvious where i was, i looked at my arms, and some IV attached on both of my them. i felt my heart beating fast, it hurts.
"you're in the hospital" sicheng spoke, and a sigh escaped out of his mouth. i gulped, and remained silence.
"hyejin what did i tell you about going out, and doing stuff that your heart can't handle!" sicheng almost yelled at me, my cheeks heated up and became red. i looked down at my hands and played with my fingers.
"you know you have a weak heart, you can't just run around at in city. you drink soju which is also bad for your heart, you go to the amusement park with your friends and try roller coasters and you know your heart will raise. you can't keep on doing this, your heart will get weaker and weaker." sicheng said with his serious voice, he sighed once again and left the room, slamming the door.
i bit my lips, and a tear escaped my eye. doyoung lifted my chin, and wiped off the tear. he let out a small laugh, and patted my back. "it's okay hyejin, you just know how much he loves and cares for you right?" doyoung asked, and sat on the edge of the bed.
"can you believe it? my best friend crushing over my sister? disgusting." he giggled, i didn't even respond to what he said, and blankly stared at the white blanket i had.
"how long am i gonna stay here?" i asked, i looked up at him, with furrowed eyebrows. he pursed his lips before he started answering my question. "some few months, but it'll be really fast-" i didn't let him finish talking.
"months? doyoung what am i even gonna do here? it'll take really long time, am i just suppose to lay here all day?" i attacked him with many questions, causing him to stutter. every time he was about to speak, i'll always cut him off. "doyoung, i wanna go home~" i said softly, with a frown plastered on my lips.
"hyejin, i am sorry but you can't."
"the doctor needs to check your heart, and you need to stay here where you are protected. you can't go out to the world easily hyejin, i promise you'll get out of this hospital with me." doyoung wrapped his arms around my waist and hugged me tightly.
"but you have to know that i won't be here all the time beside you, i need to work too. maybe sicheng or jaehyun would be here to watch after you okay?" doyoung brushed his fingers through my hair, giving me slightly goosebumps. i nodded my head, and looked at the IV on my arms.
"so, what about this? am i only allowed to stay here?" i pouted, sighed.
"no you are actually aloud to roam around this hospital, with this metal rolling thingy." doyoung pulled out a tall metaled thingy with wheels on the bottom. and there was a drip IV on it.
"but you're still gonna walk around with the IV on your arm, and this i don't know metal stick wait it's not a stick...." doyoung talked nonsense.
"it's called an IV pole..." i said.
"well you're gonna walk around with this IV pole"
i nodded and laid back down again. letting out a loud sigh, and closed my eyes.
