The sun started to rise, but Sandeul was still sleeping soundly. Suddenly, he felt someone shaking his shoulder. "Yahh, wake up, sleepy head," Bibim tried to wake him up calmly. He moved a little bit but is in his sleep. "wake up, pabo-ya.." Still no response. Sandeul is a heavy sleeper after all. Even his mum said so. He groans and pulled the covers more and covered his entire face and body. "5 more minutes," he demanded. But Bibim wasn't gonna give him any mercy anymore. "Thats it Mister. No more Mr. Nice guy,"
Bibim pulled the sheets off of him and threw it to the floor. "Suffer without a blanket," she led out an evil laugh
and wait for an epic result.
Unfortunately, that didn't seem to give any disturbance to his sleep. He was still sleeping soundly like a little kid. She sighed and shake him again. "Yahh, how can you still be sleeping in this kind of condition?" Then she stopped. She took a quick glance at his face and smiled to herself. She played with his hair like how he usually plays with hers.
Suddenly, Sandeul smirked and pulled her down to his side again and laid her down. "So you are awake," she said. He smiled and nuzzled her shoulder. He pulled her closer and hugged her tightly. "I'm cold. And since you threw the blanket aside, you're responsible for keeping me warm,"
She sighed again and gave up. This boy... aigoo. She stayed with him a little more and whispered, "5 minutes wouldn't hurt, I guess.." and they both doze off to sleep again..
March 31st 2010
Sandeul was running a bit late 'cause he had something to do at school today. It was just like another ordinary day for her, not for long though. She started having difficulties when she inhaled. She was coughing so much, but no one didn't seem to come and ask her whats wrong. She coughed and coughed, and little did she know, blood came out. She just coughed out some blood out.
Terrified, she instantly took a tissue that was on the side table and wiped it away. She threw the tissue into the trash bin and hugged her legs. She leaned herself to the bed and just sat there.. not knowing what to do next.
April 1st 2010
That night, Sandeul slept at the hospital again. But he had to sleep outside this time. Just right in front of Bibim's ward room. The nurses offered him to sleep somewhere more comfortable, but he decline them. Something just tells him that he should sleep there.. Not too far from Bibim's room.
"Doctor.. doctor! Pl-please.. anyone! Help,"
"Empty the emergency room,"
"Get the meds, quick!"
Sandeul suddenly woke up from his slumber after all the commotion thats interrupting his sleep. He scratched his head and looked at the clock wall. It was 2 in the morning. His sleepiness started to fade as he saw all those doctors and nurses getting all panicked at the scene was in a mess.
He got up from his seat and asked one of the nurses in charge whats all the fuss about. "Ms. Bibim, she-she.. she's in a critical condition right now.. She needs help right away! Excuse me, but I really need to go," the nurse quickly went on with her work and left Sandeul still hanging in curiosity. He tried to ask the other nurses for further informations but none of them seemed to respond to his plead.
"Bibim.." he murmured her name. He stormed into Bibim's ward room but just to find it was empty. That made his heart beats 10 times faster than usual. He went back outside and gripped a flock of his hair trying to get hold of himself from the tears that threatened him to fall.
Then, something eased his mind a little bit. He saw Bibim's parents outside the emergency room. He walk towards them but his footsteps got slower after he saw those red eyes of them. It looks like they have been crying.. his heart started to beat fast. He didn't know what to expect.
"H-hello.." he greeted. Bibim's parents lifted their heads up and gave him a weak smile. "Ahh, Sandeul, good to see you here.." that smile that they showed him... had a meaning behind them. And he could tell them clearly that something's not right. He took a deep breath and asked them, "wheres Bibim? Whats going on..? I, I feel messed up right now.. I can't think straight.. All I wanna know is.. is she okay?"
There was a deep silence between them. Sandeul was heartbroken when he didn't receive the answer that he craved. Bibim's parents were only looking to the ground and prayed. Trying to stop their tears from falling.. Sandeul lost control of his body. He went to the emergency's room front door called out for her.
"BIBIM! THIS IS NOT FUNNY! Get out of there! If you're trying to joke around, its not working! Come out! P...please.."
He fell to his knees and covered his face with his hands. He tried to toughen himself up, but it didn't work. His mind was blank.. everything was filled with darkness. He felt like he was lost.. no where to go.. no where to plead..
A few minutes later, the doctor came out from the emergency room and called out for Bibim's parents. They both got up and walked inside with small footsteps. Sandeul waited for them to com out with his eyes closed; trying to hide his weak side..
Then, Bibim's parents came out and her mum was crying. Her dad pulled her mum into a hug to ease her. "You may see her now.." Bibim's dad said softly. His voice cracked. Probably he's hiding his tears as well..
Sandeul pushed the door open and paused. He heard coughing and the sound of the machine working. His footsteps brought him helplessly to where Bibim's at. His heart dropped when he saw her condition. She looked pale and she was shivering to death..
He ran to her and gripped her hand. "Jagiya.." he said softly and kissed her hand. Bibim looked at him and stroked his hair. She smiled and giggled a little. "You're wearing that black shirt I gave you.. I.. I like you wearing that shirt.. looks good on you.." she said weakly. He hugged her and cried on her shoulder. "Pabo, this is not the time for that! You gotta stay strong. Please, fight those pains. Jebal..."
She cupped his cheeks and wiped his tears away. "I'm sorry.. I think its time now-" "NO!" he cut her words. "NO! Stop saying that! You promised.. don't you remember the promised we made.. you said we're gonna get married .. and-and have.. adorable kids.. with your eyes..." he sobbed. Bibim put a finger at his lips; signalling him that she understood. A tear fell onto his hand but she still smiled at him.
"I'm sorry.. really sorry.. I guess.. all our dreams weren't meant to be.." she whispered. Suddenly, her eyesight doesn't feel right. "S-sandeul.. where are youu..? I can't see.."
Sandeul gripped her hand tightly and rubbed them softly. "I'm right here.. I'm not going anywhere.."
"Ahh, thank God.. I don't wanna be alone..Yeobo.."
"Nde..?"
"I love you.."
Bibim's hand suddenly let go of Sandeul's hand and her heart beat stopped.. She's gone..
