Drake clenched his fist and broke down into tears.  There’s something wrong. David and Dylan tapped his back.

“ Appa!” he shouted out loud.

                David and Dylan let him calm down before inquiring what happened.

“What happened with Uncle?” Dylan finally asked after Drake manage to calm down.

                Drake shook his head before speaking..

“He suffered heart attack, now he’s comatose.” Drake answered, tears rolling down his cheeks.

                Before Drake achieved his poprock star status, he’s working as a Nurse. He intentionally wants to be a nurse to take care of his Father.  His father was diagnosed to have a heart disease. He underwent by-pass operation twice (an operation involving the heart). Before, Drake didn’t want to accept for the 3D Brothers’ offer for a record deal because he’s afraid his father will disapprove. But his father  understood his dreams to pursue his music career so he gave him the GO signal. Little did Drake realize, his dad’s sickness is getting worse..

“Hyung, please be strong.” David finally managed to give encouraging words to David. They are on their way to the hospital where Drake’s Dad was confined. Dylan volunteered that they use his car. He was driving , silently uttering a prayer for Uncle Lee. David and Drake were seated next to each other at the back..

“May God heal him.” Dylan said as he gave Drake a comforting look.

                Within 45 minutes, the boys reached the hospital. Drake’s elder brother, Derrick approached him and hugged him.

“Hyung, what happened?” Drake asked.

“He suffered cardiac arrest and stroke. “ Derrick answered.

                Suddenly, the doctor arrived and approached them.

“You’re the patient’s family right? Mr. Lee  fell into coma after suffering from stroke. His condition is really serious and if he doesn’t become conscious within 2 days,  I’m afraid, we’ll have to bid him goodbye.”

“Oh geesh!” Derrick said as he clenched his fist.

“Appa!” Drake said, crying again.

                Meanwhile, some fans spotted them and learned about Mr.Lee’s condition.

                “Appa, please be strong!” Drake was holding on to his Dad’s hands. He’s still unconscious.

David and Dylan were standing behind him, occasionally tapping his shoulder. They were quite but they were there to comfort him.
