Areum quickly rushed out of the train station. She almost forget her sweater which Myung gifted to her last Christmas, but luckily it managed to still be with her as it was barely hanging on her shoulder.

Areum ran and ran, she didn't care about the cars at all. All she needs to do is see her sister─

See her sister alive.

A few minutes of running, she had finally reached the gates of the hospital where Myung always had stayed. She rushed inside, passing through the gates and finally entering the hospital.

"Patient Park Myungeun please," said Areum to the nurse in charge of the counter service.

"Moved to room 612, just across the 6th floor." Said the nurse.

"Thank you." Areum said before she quickly ran to the stairs, since taking the elevator be very long because there were too many people lining up in front of it. After all, Areum can run fast, expect when she's in a rush.

She finally reached the respective room where Myung was said to be resting. She was only a bit afar on the middle of the hallways, watching the scene.

Surgeons and nurses hurrying and rushing something out of the room. Pulling and pushing slowly and cautiously a hospital bed.

Myungeun.

The surgeons rushed to a nearby surgery room on the other side of the hallway. When they cleared out from Areum's sight, she rushed to the hospital room where Myungeun once stayed. Came out on the room was her mom, startling Areum a bit.

"Reummie dear!"

"Eomma!"

"Thank you for coming all the way here, Areum..." Muttered Mrs. Jung gently and softly.

"Eomma... What's happening to Myung?" Areum questioned, trying to hold back tears.

"She's been in a critical condition lately... She was brought to the surgery room since the doctor scheduled her surgery today. At this exact time." Her mother answered.

At the moment, Areum lose herself and spilled her tears as her mother tried comforting her, letting her cry on her shoulder as the mother rubs her back and gives her a warm hug.

"Will she be fine?" Questioned Areum.

"Yes."

"Will she still open her eyes?"

"We don't know, Areum. We don't know."

"I wonder what's Areum doing right now." Stated Chae, as she slurped on her floatie that she just bought from a one stop store across the streets just awhile ago.

"Breathing of course, what else?" Hyojung sassed, when Chae gave her a glance. "Just kidding, I think she's playing with Myung as always."

"She really enjoys being home huh," said Chae.

"Yeah she does." Hyojung replied.

"Oh look!" Chae exclaimed as she brought out her phone. "She's calling,"

"Video?" Questioned Hyojung.

Chae shook her head. "No, just voice."

"How unusual," Hyojung commented. "Usually, Areum would video call us but today, she doesn't."

Nonetheless, Chae picked up the call and called first. "Hello?"

"Chae, and Hyojung if she's with you, can you do me a favor?"

"Sure, anything for Reummie!" Chae exclaimed as Hyojung closely listened.

At this moment, the two girls together noticed the change in Areum's voice. Croaky and husky, as if she was crying or came from it.

"Can you-"

Areum was interrupted, but the line connecting between her with Chae and Hyojung was still ongoing. Somehow, Hyojung and Chae heard a soft and low conversation of Areum talking to someone.

"Hello, is Jung Areum still alive?" Hyojung spoke on Chae's phone.

"Chae and Hyojung, sorry for wasting your time of talking to me but I would drop the line now and end the call. I have to go now. Thank you and no need to do me a favor!"

"But hey are you okay-"

Hyojung was interrupted. Before they knew it, Areum have tapped end call already.

"Is she really fine?" Chae asked, confused.

Hyojung shrugged. "I don't know either. But there seems something to be weird."
