"Oops? Is that all you can say to me?" I asked furiously. But then realization hit me again.

"Why did he not tell me? Is it life threatening? " I sadly looked up at JunHyeok.

"No, " JunHyeok smiled to reassure me but I didn't fall for it, "he just wanted to surprise you by arriving at your school after the surgery."

His answer was too quick. Too rehearsed.

"I can't believe you until I see it for myself." I whispered.

JunHyeok nods his head in understanding before he follows behind me towards the hospital.

We walked in silence all the way to the hospital.

When we arrive at the designated room 177, I turn the doorknob only to find it locked.

Eh?

I tried twisting the knob again but it still wouldn't open.

Panicking like a madman, I shook the locked handle as if jiggling it would make the door open.

A concerned nurse grabs my shoulder and seems to ask me a question.

I forgot that I couldn't hear the living.

The irony of this situation.

I frantically point to Yoon Do Woon's name plate near his room number and the nurse seems to give me an understanding look.

Raising her hand, she shows me five fingers and then shows me the number six.

I raise my eyebrows in surprise before bowing to her gratefully.

Running to the elevator, I pressed the number furiously, but then decided to take the stairs.

When I reached the first floor, I saw a lot of nurses gathering around this one room.

It looks like someone is dying.

I walk closer to the room to get a better glimpse. A doctor was in the room trying to resuscitate the patient but to no avail.

I was about to draw nearer until someone grabs my arm.

Looking up, JunHyeok shakes his head before leading me across the hall to another room that was quiet.

Room 56
Post-Surgery Room

I was about to barge into the room before I remembered to knock.

Taking a deep breath, I gently tapped on the door. Not knowing if a voice responded, I simply opened the door.

Seeing a figure sitting up in bed while gazing out of the window.

I hesitated.

Only for a moment did I hesitate.

When the patient's face turns towards me, I run to embrace him.

The patient is shocked before he breaks out into a smile.

Gently caressing my head, his lips seem to be moving. Knowing I can't hear him,  he continues to say something before smiling down at me. Shaking his phone at me, I take mine out and open my messages.

Dowoon: Why are you acting so loving all of a sudden? Maybe I should have more operations  😏

Yumi: If you do, I'll kill you.

Dowoon:  Kidding. Kidding.

Yumi: Why did you not tell me about the surgery?  What if....what if you had died and I wouldn't have even known.

Dowoon:  It was just leg surgery so I can walk, silly. Besides, if I had died...I'm sure you would have known.

Yumi: What does that mean?

Dowoon:  Have you've had any more weird encounters?

Yumi: You're changing the subject again  😑

Dowoon: Still.

Yumi:  No,  I....wait. I did have this weird encounter with a weird boy.

Dowoon:  Boy?!  Tell me! Did he do anything weird to you? 💢 😠

Yumi:  You are WAY to protective.  And no he didn't do anything.  He said he use to be your friend.

Dowoon: Really? That could be so many people. I was pretty popular in my Korean school 😏

Yumi: His name is Jun Hyeok

Dowoon:... I know him. He use to be my friend.

Yumi:  Use to?

Dowoon:  There was a huge scandal at our old school and his name was dragged underneath all the drama. The next semester, he didn't show up for class. Everyone assumed he changed schools or he left the country since his father was a business person.

Yumi: Ahhhh

Should I tell him that I saw his spirit form?

Dowoon:  So how is he? I'd like to meet him again! 😃

Yumi:  Oh, well he came with me...

I turned around to look at him but he wasn't there. Looking all over the room,  I noticed that Dowoon and I were the only ones here.

Where did that spirit boy go?

Dowoon:  It's okay, I can meet him later.  Are you okay?  You don't look so good...

Yumi:  Yeah... I'm okay. Just too much excitement today...

Dowoon:  There is a snack machine down the hallway. How about you get us both a drink? Here's some money. Hospital food is so horrible here. 😝

Yumi:  Okay...I'll be right back.

Taking the change from Dowoon's out stretched hand, I quietly leave the room.

I spot the coveted snack machine and look at my options. While staring at the vending machine, I notice how quiet its become.

The door to the room across the hall suddenly opens after I finished my thoughts. I pick my head up only to see two nurses push a hospital bed down the hallway. 

Another nurse was rolling the patient's monitor behind them.

The monitor seemed to be broken as it didn't seem to move.

As the bed rolles past me, I glanced down at the patient's face.

It was JunHyeok.

********
Yay, another Day6 member. If you don't already know, JunHyeok use to be a member of Day6. He terminated his contract with JYP when rumours of him dating a fan ruined his image. I really respect JunHyeok because he sacrificed his own dream so he could save Day6's reputation....

So that's why I decided to add him in my book. Once a Day6 member, always a Day6 member
