01. You
Such a day wherein i lay in my empty room on the hospital bed i always open my eyes to, even though i wished over and over that it was just a dream i needed to wake up from. A silent room that is able to fit around 7 to 8 people but it was just me alone. The cold air of the quiet city sude that had been locked out by the hospital windows, sealed tight. The sunlight wasn't felt through the thick glass and curtains that just barely let me see outside. My messy black hair that Continued to block my vision started to grow longer too..
Suddenly the peace was disturbed with the metal heavy door opening with a rush of nurses pushing a hospital bed with someone in it. Being in my position, i wasn't able to see beyond the wall of nurses who exactly was in the bed.
They left the room clearing up the space that once again became quietly empty. Me and some other girl next to me who was lying in the bed. I blinked as the figure started to become clearer. A small girlwih her eyes closed, thin eyelashes that prettily decorated her face along with her cheeks that were painted with a pale shade of her skin barely any flow.
Fifteen minutes lter, as i read a book in my hand, i heard a yawn from beside me. She sat on the bed and found me staring.
“Hi, my name's Luke. What's yours? ” said i, trying my best not to make my voice sound weird.
“It's Jeil” she paused before continuing with a question and looked directly at me. “how long was i asleep for..? ”
"I'm not sure. but it seems that you're gonna stuck with me for a while."
Luke was diagnosed with kidney cancer, while Jeil was diagnosed with a lung cancer stage 2 caused by a second-hand smoking.
Knowing that our situation were not that far from each other, we took our time to get along, after all, who knows how long we would be here? Question after question and conversation following another.
