A new morning came.
He needed to go to work quickly, but the time when he should leave was getting delayed.
“Oppa, I’m alright so go to work.”
HeeYoon, who was undergoing dialysis while lying on the hospital bed, worried about her brother who couldn’t even go to work at the right time. However, KangYoon smiled at his sister while brushing her head.
“Today, they said to come to the hospital with a guardian. Oppa should of course come.”
“But oppa’s very busy. You came back at dawn last night.”
“Hey.”
KangYoon brought his index finger to HeeYoon’s lips. It was an indication for HeeYoon to not speak anymore.
“Even if work is important, there is nothing as important as you, HeeYoon. You just need to get healthier, ok?”
“Ok, I’m sorry…”
“That again, I said to not say sorry, right?”
“Ok, I won’t.”
If one underwent dialysis, then s/he couldn’t move for 4~5 hours. Their face would get paler too. KangYoon’s heart would tear whenever he saw his already-pale sister in pain. However, he didn’t show his pain on the outside. Since, should HeeYoon see his pain, she would shed tears…
“Oppa, I’m sleepy. I will sleep for a bit.”
When HeeYoon fell asleep, KangYoon went to see the doctor.
“The numbers are stabilizing a lot. You’re keeping the dialysis appointment date, and above all, I think the lack of stress has contributed a lot.”
KangYoon carefully went over the graphs that the doctor showed him. It was about his sister. Although he had no medical knowledge, he could judge whether something was good or bad. He cared for HeeYoon that much.
“Please let her eat the medicine regularly, and keep the dialysis appointment dates…”
The doctor’s words weren’t that different from usual. His point was to keep eating the medicine regularly and keep the appointments. However, what was different from usual was the hope that HeeYoon was getting better. KangYoon calmed down with those words alone.
‘Don’t worry. This time, I won’t let you pass the days in vain.’
Looking at his sister’s white face, KangYoon resolved, and resolved again.
To protect HeeYoon whatever the cost.
