"No, no, absolutely not", is the first reaction of JYP PDnim when he hears the boys's proposal, "we are going to have press conference the day before your treatment. Jinyoung will have a break for his treatment. Say no more!".
"Hyung, please...", Jinyoung pleads. Eventhough he already thought of the scene in his head, but still he's finding it hard when he's hit with the PDnim's reaction, "I can't let the company be affected because of me. My schedule isn't as much as the other. I don't have any drama, and all my advertising contracts are with GOT7".
"The company", JYP states firmly, "will be affected if you go out looking sick, the fans will be furious, the company will be blamed for making the artists overwork, the media will try to find out, and eventually, they will notice something is wrong, investigate everything, and reveal everything before you realize. You're an idol, Jinyoung-ah, a smart one on that. You should know about this better than all idols in this company".
"We will support him, and we will not let anyone else know about his health condition", JB also pleads. He seldomly speaks his voice in front of the CEO, but this time he's trying his best, he even trying to pull out his best puppy face.
Jinyoung gets up from the chair and walks in front of JYP. He kneels down and bows in front of him, "hyung I know that I'm nobody and I probaby have no right to even beg in front of you. But here I am, begging you to trust me just this once, this once. I will ask you nothing at all and I will give you my words that I will fight tooth and nail to fight this cancer. I'll come back to you and give my best".
JYP is stunned for the young man's pleading he can't say any word. He feels more shocked when the rest of the boys join Jinyoung, JYP has 7 young men kneeling down before him.
"Trust us hyung", the leader speaks, "we will do our best to support him and we won't make a burden to anyone. Only a month and then we will let everything go. We promise".
JYP sighs. He sure have raised a great group. A stubborn one, but a great one nonetheless.
It takes a while to convince the CEO of JYPE but their preserverence pays of when the soft hyung finally gives a nod.
"Don't make me regret my decision boys", is his final words.
Jinyoung runs to hug the older man, doesn't care if he's the CEO of the company. He feels a big spark of respect and affection toward the hyung and he can feel that JYP loves him equally.
"Gurae, I will hold a meeting with division 2 after this. I will tell them that we have reached our agreement and that I agreed you are going to continue your activities until the end of the month. But Park Jinyoung, I will review your schedule to give you more time to rest, I don't want you to argue with me on this. I won't make the staffs to be responsible for you, so settle everything within yourselves. You boys are responsible for Jinyoung. I don't want any rumors to spread, I don't want fans to be worried. So you boys have to figure out how. Any rumor or anyone says anything on the internet, our deal is off", JYP makes himself clear, "you have to make a press release".
All GOT7 members nod. They all look at JYP straightly in the eyes, their eyes full of persistence and gratitude.
All the 7 of them walk out JYP office feeling relieved. JB holds Jinyoung's waist to give him assurance that they all will help him during his remaining time and that he is allowed to be dependant. Jinyoung nevel felt so thankful, his heart is full. Everything is much lighter now, he's ready for his chrmo knowing that he has hands supporting his back. He still unsure about how the staffs in division 2 will react but that he has decided to push the thoughts away. He has to focus on his treatment and his job. He'll deal with everything else later.
"I'm hungry", Jinyoung said suddenly, "I want to eat meat".
"Yea, me too hyung", Bambam says, "how about we go to usual place?".
"Let's eaaat.... ", Youngjae adds.
"Okay, I will pay today. You can have anything you want, all on me!", Mark says. He pats Jinyoung's shoulder.
"Wooow! Let's have a party then!", Jackson shouts. Just like that, they shout and laugh all the way to the barbeque shop they frequently visit. Jinyoung feels very happy the first time since the whole cancer situation has happened. And for the first time, he feels that maybe this isn't as bad as he thinks, with the help of his friends and family, he can actually be another good statistic. With that thought, Jinyoung smiles widely. But his smile doesn't seem to last very long.
It's Monday, Jinyoung has an appointment with dr Jin from Samsung Medical Center. It's only a few blocks away from the house he is currently living. Dr Kang called him personally last night to inform him that she already had the test result sent to Samsung Medical and asked Jinyoung to go there for an appointment with her coleague who is specialized in cancer and happens to be her professor. She assured Jinyoung that the meeting is already set up in private area so he wouldn't have to worry. In the end of the call, dr Kang told him good luck. Jinyoung suddenly felt weak on his knees.
Jinyoung's noonas were already in the house when Jinyoung got back from barbecue party (which was awesome, he ate a lot). They both had puffy face and swollen red eyes, but they tried hard not to cry when they saw him. Of course they couldn't hold their tears anyway, but Jinyoung just smiled and told them he would be just fine. All Park family members gather around in front of the fireplace that night. One of Jinyung's noona couldn't stop crying, his mom scolded her. Jinyoung defended her and hugged her she cried harder.
"I'll be fine, noona. You'll see. I have good friends, you know. They will help me go through all this, you don't have to be worry. Besides, I'm the smartest person in this family, I know what to do".
Jinyoung said over and over while stroking his noona's hair. He knee he didn't only give courage to his noona, but rather he have courage to himself.
"What would you do without me, noona.. You're so helpless".
Like that, Jinyoung couldn't sleep last night. Eventhough he already decided  to push the negative thoughts away, the creepy images keep haunting him, luring him to depression. He couldn't stop thinking about today's meeting as well. He called JB to inform him about the meeting, JB insisted of going with him because as the leader and the one responsible, he has to know all the details. Jinyoung let him. He knew he couldn't argue with the leader, besides he thought he would feel better if his hyung is with him.
He does. When JB shows up the next morning to accompany him to the hospital, Jinyoung no longer feels butterflies in his stomach. He feels calmer. They sit next to each other in the car while Jinyoung's parent sit in the back of the car. Jinyoung's noonas stay at home because they think it would be suspicious and they don't know if they can control their emotion at the hospital.
"Jaebeom ah, thank you for everything that you've done to our Jinyoung", Jinyoung's dad says.
"Ah no.. It's actually Jinyoung who always helped me. I'm useless without him".
Jinyoung grins, "yes, he's useless without me".
JB says nothing but smiles and ruffles Jinyoung's hair. Warm conversation flows along the way to the hospital. JB and Jinyoung's parents are literally good friends and Jinyoung's parent already considered JB as their own son. In fact, Jinyoung's parent treat all members of GOT7 as their own sons.
"Excuse me", the car driver interrupts their chat, "miss Ae Ri told me earlier that we are going to get in through special entrance so we have to take a little detour. Hospital staff is already waiting for you there".
"Ok hyung", JB says.
The driver is a new one, JYP sent a new car and driver only for Jinyoung so he and his family can use it freely while he's having the treatment. Jinyoung keeps asking what did he do to get this special facilities. JYP told him to shut up and just do whatever JYP said and take whatever he's given. Jinyoung can't thank the CEO enough.
They get in through a small entrance in the back of the hospital. The entrance is almost unnotice, Jinyoung doesn't even know there's an entrance like this in such a huge medical facility.
They go in and under through an underpass then they reach the basement parking lot. Few cars park in the small basement area. Almost all cars parking there are luxurious cars. Jinyoung thinks this must be special parking for VIP guests.
The driver open the car door and guide them through a small door. Just when they open the door, a beautiful nurse greets them.
"Good morning, Mr Park, Mr Im. Dr Song is waiting for you upstairs", she guides them to a luxurious elevator  Jinyoung doesn't know a hospital could have beautiful elevator like in hotel. The nurse seems to read Jinyoung's and JB's shocked reaction she explains to them, "this is a special passage for our VIP guests. Mr Park Jinyoung of JYPE file a request personally to our directors to facilitate you and your family during your treatment, and also a request that you can have as much privacy as you can get. We can assure you that your time here won't even be noticed by the media. Prime Minister, royal families, celebrities, are given the privilege so they can recover comfortably here".
