BaekHyun looked deeply into my eyes and pulled me into a hug. “It’s MinJi,” he said.

I knew it I could feel it in my bones that something wasn’t right, especially how she came into my bedroom. He didn’t have to say anything else, my dad called me in and I left EunJi with BaekHyun and BigBang who had now joined us.

“Appa, what is happening?” I looked at all the machines in the room all hooked up to my little eight year old sister.

For some reason he couldn’t explain, he went to open his mouth but no words would come out. He signalled the doctor to explain.

“Miss Hwang, your sister is very ill, she has leukaemia.” That’s all he needed to say, my whole world came crashing down all at once. Nothing was relevant at all and all my efforts were needed in order to keep my sister alive. I couldn’t hear anything else he said, but a familiar face walked into the room. Minho.

“I’m sorry, Doctor, could you please explain that again,” I say wiping tears away from my eyes, and the doctor illiterates “Your sister has Leukaemia, it was very serious, but for now she is stable. Your friend Choi Minho donated a bone marrow this might just save your sisters life, he is the right blood type and from what we know, it has never failed before. The procedure went smoothly it is just a matter of waiting now.”

The doctor left with my dad and Minho was still in the room with me, I was crying and tears kept streaming down my face and they wouldn’t stop. I hugged Minho so hard and he picked me up off the floor stroking my hair, he pulled away first and cupped my face with his hand and using his thumb he wiped away my tears.

“Thank”- I began but he interrupts.

“You don’t need to thank me, I was just on hand and happened to be the same blood type. You would have done the same for me right?” Minho says.

I agreed, I would have done it for him, I would have done it for anyone at the entertainment, it was just being a good citizen and a good family member, I considered everyone to be in my family at the entertainment, even Min the bully and all her followers.

I hugged Minho once more before my brother and my other two sisters arrived into the room. I hugged EunJi and SuJi and they went to sit next to the sleeping girl. JiYong bought me into a hug that lasted forever.

“What are we going to do, oppa, what if the transplant doesn’t work?” I ask.

“Transplant?” He questions me.

I nod, “Minho donated a bone marrow to help her recover, we wont know for sure if it works until she is out of hospital and that could take a few months.”

My brother wipes a tear and shakes the hand of the new hero, who bows and walks out of the room and tells us he is going to get a drink. I see how he is walking and he is obviously in pain.

“Doctor,” I call he comes over to me, “Can I have a word, there’s something I want to know about my sisters condition.”

“Sure, why don’t you come into my office.” He says and I follow him into his office. “What is it that you want to know?”

“You know the transplant procedure, are there any effects to the person donating?” I ask curiously.

“Well there are quite a few, first they will never truly be able to be as active as they used to me, so for example, your dads company if a dancer were to give a bone marrow donor, they wouldn’t be able to dance again, not for a few years, and even then they will never return to the high status they were before. Secondly it could affect thyroid conditions resulting in a less perfect voice and voice complications this could be solved by surgery but could also lead to more complications.” The doctor explained.

We transferred MinJi into our home, still hooked up to all the wires and stuff that she needed, it was so all our business could continue and MinJi would never have to be alone at the hospital although me SuJi and JiYong all agreed we would see her at the hospital every day, even if we stayed over night.

That night I couldn’t sleep at all. I paced up and down my bedroom floor just thinking over and over and over again about the pain Minho is going through. He would definitely have to delay his debut and I was so thankful to him but yet so guilty. I sat down but then I started getting fidgety and paced up and down once more.

Just then I heard a knock on the door. I went and opened it, YoungBae stood there right in front of me.

“JiEun-ah, gwenchanah?” He says as I let him in my bedroom. I nod and look down. I wasn’t I was far from okay.

“Actually,” I said “No I’m not, I can’t sleep,I keep crying and I keep thinking about how much pain she is in and how much pain Minho is in, I’d do anything to swap places with her so she isn’t in all the pain.”

YoungBae pulled me into a hug. “Don’t worry, MinJi is like her sister, extremely strong, and you have to stay strong for her, everything will be fine.”

“But oppa, it’s just like how mum died. She had cancer too, I can’t lose them both within a year.” I say crying.

“Don’t worry if you want you can come and sleep in my room tonight, I’ll sleep on the couch or floor you take my bed, I’ll look after you tonight. You need some rest.”

“Thank you oppa,” I followed him into his room and turned my light off and shut the door behind and walked into the next door room.

I got into his bed he came over and put some water on the table by his bed. “Good night JiEun.”

He kissed my forehead but I grabbed his wrist, “stay with me YoungBae?” I pleaded.

He nodded and got in the other side. I snuggled up to him “YoungBae, are you still awake?” I asked a little while later, to which he replied with “Only just.”

“I’m so sorry I didn’t let you escape today.” I said referring to the running man incident.

He let out a slight giggle “Don’t worry I would have took my tag off anyway for you.”

He kissed my forehead and once again I felt warmth and feel asleep with his arms wrapped around me.
