Heart Flakes: Enough Is Enough
My Strong Brother
Dr. Lee and nurse Na looked at each other. They wanted to ask who the man was, but it seemed that he was still sad to see Emy's condition.
" mm... Emy fainted from exhaustion, so don't worry." Dr. Lee tried to calm down two people who seemed close to Emy. But he still can't tell the truth about Emy's health condition.
the flashback
Emy woke up from her coma, she looked pale and weak. Dr. Lee and nurse Na who saw Emy's condition, really feel unbearable. Dr. Lee has nurse Na feed Emy. When nurse Na has come out, Dr. Lee approaches and pulls the guard chair beside bed Emy.
" how are you doing? does it still hurt?" ask dr. Lee softly.
"mmm. I'm fine with Sunbae. Just banged up, no big deal, right?"
" just banged?! you know, you almost lost your life!" dr. Lee's face reddened and moved from the chair, while shaking his waist, Dr. Lee looked at Emy and wanted to talk but was held back. He turned his attention in the other direction.
" Sunbae, say" Dr. Lee grabbed a bottle of mineral water on the table beside Emy's bed and held it up.
" you're in a coma for 6 days, and your lab results and CT also state that you..."
" Sunbae, say.." I say Emy's eyes look at dr.Lee with a smile.
" you. you have a tumor in the brain." replied Dr. Lee, holding his mouth shut.
Emy, who has suspected the state of her body for the past few months, has finally been confirmed. Not the tears, but the smile she showed.
" Sunbae. Sunbaes...." Emy calls and holds Dr. Lee's wrist and pulls him in a hug. Dr. Lee cried even more, not knowing how long he had been in the arms of the woman he had thought was his sister. He was so sad, because someone who finally filled the position of the sister, after the departure of his only sister due to leukemia, also got the same fate. One day he will go back from her.
" Sunbae... oppa... You said you wanted me to be your sister and called you oppa, right? now can I call you like that?" asked Emy still hugging dr.Lee who was still crying.Lee nodded quickly and Emy slowly took off her embrace.
" Oppa, you're an oppa, shouldn't an oppa strengthen his sister instead?" Emy smiled as she wiped away the tears of Dr. Lee who kept coming out.
" yes I'm sorry. You are my strong brother." replied dr. Lee forced his smile.
" oppa, I'll call you that outside of work hours and not in public. okay?"
" why? are you ashamed to have an oppa like me?"
" haha.oppa, that's not it. But we have to be professional and think about the feelings of others. oh yes, oppa... May I ask you for help?" Emy stared fixedly at Dr. Lee who was still faithful sitting beside her bed.
" what is that?"
" please don't tell anyone my situation. Only oppa knows. How I am. Can oppa?" emy Pinta.
" but why?"
" oppa, I know how I am, I don't want to trouble anyone. I love them, I don't want them to think about me. I have also made someone tormented because of my presence. I want to see them happy, oppa. I just want to calm down, until it's time for me to leave. Can oppa promise me?"
Emy smiled and held Dr. Lee's hand
" Oppa, all I ask for, only oppa knows.can you?" Emy didn't want to answer Dr. Lee's question. There is no way he said that all this time his father and brother did not like his presence and that his eomma also hated him, if not for Alzheimer's, surely the eomma who used to love him had kicked him out of the sanatorium, when he visited. Even the man who is now her husband on paper, was tormented by his presence until hatred arose in the man's heart.
" All right! whatever you ask." Dr. Lee replied and hugged Emy back.
" Thank you, my dear oppa. I love oppa Lee..hehehe" replied Emy in the arms of dr. Lee.
" I love you too, dongsaeng!"
flashback off
" let me know, why did he faint?" ask the man in messy English and Korean.
" He had to operate on a patient for 32 hours without pause, whereas before he had just finished operating on a patient for 4 hours" replied Dr. Lee honestly, because he saw the creepy look of the man, because he saw the man, he is sure to get worse, if he lies. yes, even though he lied about Emy's health, but at least if he said the cause of Emy fainting, yes, then the man can persuade his stubborn sister not to be too tired. Because obviously, the man was like an elder.
" What?! Don't you guys have any other surgeons, till you're gonna charge him like that?!" he snapped at Dr. Lee and managed to make Dr. Lee growled. He was not very fluent in English, but he understood what the man was saying.
" sir! because it is our job! Emy was too scared, but we had no choice!" Sergey dr.Lee did not want to lose, he raised his voice. He was upset because it was as if he had made Emy charge her strength.
The man looked sharply at Dr. Lee as if he was about to pounce on him. His big hands started to clench and his jaw was already hardened. Hannah, who saw that, grabbed the man's hand and stroked his back.
" Enough, don't blame each other. You better go home, oppa. I'll take care of Emy with Evan. Ae Rim unni, look tired.you guys just go home first, huh?" persuade Hannah.dr.Lee to nod and hold the hand of nurse Na.
" i go home first. What's up call me. Whenever it's. okay?" dr. Lee's farewell to Hannah ignored Evan who was sitting and holding Emy. Dr. Lee's hand and Na's nurse left and Hannah closed the door to Emy's nursery.
" Evan, that was my cousin. He's just like you, worried about Emy. He thinks of Emy as his sister. Don't act like that again, huh? I beg you." said Hannah ignored Evan who now gently rubbed the pale face of his babtis child.
Hannah, upset at being ignored, finally decided to clean up and lay on the sofa, not waiting long, she fell asleep. Evan remained in his position, but due to drowsiness he stuck also at Emy's nursery bedside.
