9 a.m., it's still early in the morning. Jinyoung just finished his breakfast. Jinyoung has been in the hospital for almost a month. He's still recovering from the pneumonia that almost took his life. It's a slow process, but he is getting beter every day. Jinyoung is bored already, but he doesn't want to complain, at least he's still lucky to be alive.
This hospital becoming so familiar with Jinyoung with the time spent. His routine after breakfast is strolling around the hospital in the wheelchair while someone is pushing him, most of the times it's GOT7 members who are surprisingly always show up early in the morning. His ward is secluded, the building is located separately from the usual ward in the hospital so he can stroll around freely in the beautiful garden that can only be accessed by VIP patients. Sometimes they would go to the rooftop garden to see the view from higher place. JB and Mark like to bring Jinyoung there, while the other are not so fancy with the idea. Especially Jackson and Youngjae.
As Jinyoung's body becomes stronger day by day, his appetite is also rising. He eats more these days, he starts on more solid food. Jinyoung is amazed how he missed the taste of solid food after a few weeks he had to bear with mushy porridge. Even the taste of soft rice feels like heaven to him. The gaunt cheeks now have rosey tint and looking more fresh. He still feels lethargic and tired sometimes but it's better than before, and above all, Jinyoung is really happy that he can stay awake longer now. Jinyoung can read books and tries to write lyrics eventhough his hand is still shaking sometimes.
Jinyoung knows it's probably because he hasn't done his chemo again. Once he's at it, he probably would feel miserable again. So Jinyoung has to take advantage of this moment as much as possible. Jinyoung has to halt chemo because of the pneumonia, but because he's recovering really well, dr Song is confident that they can continue with the treatment soon. They are already behind schedule, so it's better to get it started as fast as they can. 7th and 8th cycle is already planned with combination of radiation five days a week for two weeks, so Jinyoung has to do it as an in house patient rather than as an outpatient like before. Jinyoung is a bit sad because it means he can't be at home as much as before. But his family and friends are always cheering him up, constantly reminding him that he only has 2 more cycle left and he's done. Jinyoung's mood always gets better after he receives kind words from his friends.
Jinyoung received some visits from his seniors and juniors at the company. 2PM hyungs, Day6 and Stray Kids are among them. Some of his friends from other idol group also came. Although the visit is limited for two hours only, but it still makes Jinyoung feels touched. He didn't know there are so many people that care for him. But the one who makes Jinyoung surprised is JYP PD, he comes so often, especially after Jinyoung woke up, bringing him interesting gifts everytime he comes. Yesterday, it was a giant teddy bear that is now occupying the sofa in Jinyoung's room. Jinyoung feels overwhelmed with the attention he gets from the producer, but the hyung looks genuinely happy when he meets Jinyoung, the younger man can not imagine how the producer felt when he was in coma.
"Jinyoung ah", dr Song comes in, pushing a wheelchair with him, "wanna go for a walk?".
Jinyoung smiles brightly, he nods happily. Jinyoung's father helps his youngest son to get in the wheelchair and wraps him with Jacket, beanie and blanket to keep him warm, he also helps Jinyoung to put on his mask. Jinyoung smiles, saying thank you to the gentle father and leaves with dr Song while the father grabs breakfast for himself.
Jinyoung and dr Song becomes really close during his stay, dr Song often stays long after he checks Jinyoung's vital. Jinyoung asked him to drop the formality, so he speaks in usual tone now. Jinyoung can really see the resemblance of the doctor with his grandfather after knowing him deeper. dr Song strolled around a few times, talking about lots of things. Jinyoung is amazed that dr Song knows a lot of knowledge and he's always happy to share it with Jinyoung.
