Areum's POV
                          
I'm really bored right now. What am I going to do here? I hope Hyunjin- I mean Eunji, Jeongin and Jisung will come here. The door opened, Nurse Aliya and Nurse Paul entered the room.

                          
"Hey!" Nurse Paula greeted me with a smile 


                          
"Are you hungry?" Nurse Aliyah asked 


                          
"No, I am bored" 


                          
"You've never been bored ever since you stayed here" Nurse Paula 



                          
"You just want to see Hyunjin, don't you?" Nurse Aliyah said and fixed my dextrose



                          
"What?! Ew!" 



                          
"Ew? But you kissed him" Nurse Paula 



                          
"T-That was an accident" 



                          
"You already told us hahaha. You kissed to tease him even more, right? Hahahahaha" Nurse Aliyah




                          
"You want it, Areum hahahaha" Nurse Paula 




                          
"Stop teasing" I pouted 





                          
"Okay, we won't" Nurse Aliyah giggled




                          
"A nurse from the main floor saw you and Hyunjin leaving the hospital yesterday. Where did you guys go?" Nurse Paula 




                          
"It was Mom and Dad's wedding anniversary. I thought I should go there and talk to them. Hyunjin drove me there" 




                          
"So, you talked to your parents?" Nurse Paula 



                          
"No" 




                          
"Then, what happened?" Nurse Aliyah




                          
"I felt weak when I saw them having fun without me. It's like they don't have a daughter named Areum. I called Mom I cried when I heard her voice. I told Hyunjin that we should go back here" 




                          
"You should've talked to them. What if they will ease the pain you felt back then?" Nurse Paula 




                          
"They might lessen the pain but the scar will always be here in my heart. They treated me like I'm not their daughter" 



                          
I still remember how Hyunjin comforted me yesterday. He talked to me and even let me stayed in his car for almost two hours just to cry. I didn't know he is like that. But what happened yesterday, that's it. We're back to normal now. 





                          
"Can I come in?" I heard Dr. Park's voice 




                          
"Yes, Dr." Nurse Paula




                          
Dr. Park entered with Eunji, a guy named Chan I saw on instagram and Hyunjin. They are still carrying their bags with them. I looked at Nurse Paula and Nurse Aliyah, they are teasing me in secret.




                          
"How are you feeling?" Dr. Park asked




                          
"P-Pretty fine" 




                          
"Really? That's good to hear" Dr. Park 




                          
I looked at them confusingly. Why are they here?




                          
"Here's Chan, Eunji's suitor" Dr. Park introduced 




                          
"Hey, I'm Areum" 




                          
"Hi" Chan greeted 




                          
"They are here because they want to ask some questions about you" Dr. Park 




                          
"We're going to ask if it's okay with you. But you can tell us if you're uncomfortable with our question" Eunji 




                          
"It's okay" I smiled




                          
"We'll leave you guys here" Dr. Park said and left with Nurse Paula and Nurse Aliyah





                          
They sat on the couch. I caught Hyunjin staring at me and he suddenly looked away. 






                          
"What do you guys want to ask?" 






                          
"We were just thinking that maybe uh..." Chan stopped





                          
"Why me? You guys told me to go here with you two not to ask some questions" Hyunjin





                          
"I just want to ask y-your story. Hyunjin told us you are stayint here for almost three years. If it's okay" Eunji





                          
"Ah"





                          
They are looking at me. 





                          
"My parents kicked me out" 





                          
"Why?" Eunji





                          
"I have twin sister but we're not identical like the other twins. She asked if we can drive my brother's race car. At first I refused but she kept on following me and telling me to drive the car. I felt bad because it was her birthday that day and I didn't even gave her any gift. We stole my brother's key and drove the car out of our house. It was fun, we went to some convenience store and a lot of places that night. When we're on our way home, it started raining..." 





                          
I took a deep breath. 





                          
"It's okay if you don't want to continue" Eunji






                          
"We're on our way home and it started raining. I am driving carefully and slowly so we won't get into an accident. But my sister she was so bored with my driving skills. She told me with high speed, I told her I can't. Then, she pushed some button inside the car that can activate the speed of the car. I am trying to control the car and tried pushing the button again but it's not stopping. The break of the car was broke, I was scared not because my brother will get mad. But because we might get into an accident" 





                          
"W-What happened?" Eunji






                          
"I tried stopping the car from the lesson I learned from my brother when he taught me how to drive. I did controlled the car but I was distracted. I didn't saw we're about to hit tree..." I sighed





                          
"Did your sister died?" Hyunjin 





                          
"No, she's still alive. She's in critical condition that time. I got injured but her condition is worse than me. My Family got mad at me for what I did. For three months, they treated me like I'm not their daughter. My sister is in coma when I got kicked out by my parents. They abandoned me, good thing I have enough money. I stayed at an apartment near here. But suddenly I felt something weird, there's some itchy feeling and there's some weird reddish or brownish patches on my skin. I thought it's just a bruise that I got from the accident. I went here to have a check up but then..." 





                          
"You are diagnosed with skin cancer?" Chan 





                          
"Yeah, I was scared, I asked myself if I'm going to die. I went to our house and told them about it. But they just told me to stop lying and stay away from them. From that day, I decided to wait for my skin cancer to spread my whole body and die after" 





                          
I saw Hyunjin glaring at me.
