when she asked Mr. Kim what kind of illness that Jong Hyun had, Mr. Kim shook his head,
he hasn't known yet,
then they both decided to catch up to the hospital..
Mr. Kim was afraid that Min Sun was still tired, but she said it's okay,
so they went to the hospital using Mr. Kim's car, and he drove.
as they arrived, Min Sun quickly dialed Lee Jae's number,
she asked which room and floor where Jong Hyun is,
Min Sun then hurried to Jong Hyun's room, with Mr. Kim behind her.
when they were in front of Jong Hyun's room, they saw Mrs. Kim and Lee Jae sitting on the chairs at the corridor,
Min Sun asked Mrs. Kim about Jong Hyun,
"Auntie, is he okay?"
"He just needs to take a rest, Min Sun.."
"What is he, i mean.. is he.."
"He caught dengue fever.."
Min Sun then stopped asking. she let herself fall to seat on the chairs,
Lee Jae held her shoulders, trying to say that everything's gonna be alright.
Mr. Kim hugged Mrs. Kim, they both tried so hard not to cry in front of their girls,
then Min Sun asked again,
"Is it that bad?"
This time, Lee Jae answered,
"The doctor said he needs plenty of rest, now he is sleeping, we didn't want to wake him up so we went out.."
Min Sun kept silent for a while. then she started to speak again,
"I.. I'm so sorry auntie, uncle.. Lee Jae.. I.. I thought he was okay, he didn't show any reactions that he was sick, he just went to my room when we got home.."
Mrs. Kim then sat beside Min Sun and held her hands,
"It's okay, Min Sun. Jong Hyun's always like that, he never tells us if he had an headache or something else, he always tried not to make us worry. Eventhough now he is making us all worry. But, just stay calm, Min Sun. He's gonna be fine."
Mrs. Kim gave her best smile to Min Sun, Min Sun smiled back and hugged her auntie.
Mrs. Kim pat Min Sun's head, and rubbed her back.
a few moments later, the three of them decided to have dinner at the hospital's canteen.
Min Sun looked at her wristwatch, 5.10 pm,
she still has time to pray, so she went with her family..
they finished dinner at 5.30 pm, as they were about to go back to Jong Hyun's room,
Min Sun said something..
"Auntie, Uncle, Lee Jae.. would you all let me company Jong Hyun? i bet you all are tired and need to get a rest,"
Mrs. Kim answered, "Oh Min Sun, i was about to say that to you, aren't you tired yourself?"
"Well, it's okay, tomorrow is Sunday anyway. I'm free on Sunday. You all can come back tomorrow morning." said Min Sun.
"Okay if that's what you want. But make sure you contact us if there's anything you need or if there's news about Jong Hyun, okay dear?"
"Yes, auntie. I will."
then, the Kim's all went home, and Min Sun stayed.
she quietly went into Jong Hyun's room, and saw him with those nose tubes and infusions,
she gasped and covered her mouth with her hands,
she really can't stand seeing someone she knew, lying weakly on a bed with nose tubes,
even that person is the one she loves, or not.
she the carried a chair and put it beside Jong Hyun's bed.
Jong Hyun kept sleeping,
Min Sun did all the things she'd do very quietly,
she looked at Jong Hyun's face, then she shed tears.
she still couldn't believe that Jong Hyun fell sick after her date with him,
he was so fine when he came back home, except when Seung Ri and Tabi came..
suddenly Min Sun realized that she haven't prayed,
she then went to the bathroom in the room (the room is VIP),
she get her sholat things (mukena, sajadah with a compass on it) from her bag,
then she started to pray.
as she finished, she took off her mukena, she looked at Jong Hyun
he's still asleep.
then she remembered that she bought her ipod with her in her bag,she took it then started searching for a track,
i remember i have a few verses of al-qur'an in my ipod.. mom and dad copied it to my ipod, eventhough i seldom hear it, i wonder if Jong Hyun can hear it in his sleep?
Min Sun picked the "Ar-Rahman" verse from her ipod, she played it and put the earphones to Jong Hyun's ears, again, quietly.
she saw that Jong Hyun was still sleeping, and he didn't move at all when Min Sun put on her ipod on him, so she sat down again and watched him.
Min Sun felt quite tired, she then lean on Jong Hyun's bed, she put her head on his bed, his hands were near Min Sun's head,
then, Min Sun closed her eyes...
~~~~~
Jong Hyun's eyes opened.
he looked around thinking "where am I?", then he saw Min Sun sleeping beside his bed,
then, he heard and indistinct sound, it sounded more louder when he focused on it,
what is this? arabic??
his fingers made a move, and since his hands were near Min Sun's face, she then woke up
"Jong Hyun, you're awake?" she asked.
"What's this... your ipod?" Jong Hyun asked back,
Min Sun realized that her earphones are still hanging on Jong Hyun's ears,
"Oh, I'm sorry.. I just thought that by hearing that.. you'll be.."
Jong Hyun cut Min Sun's speech,
"It's okay.. in fact, i just wanna thank you coz.. the.. it sounds..., peaceful.."
"Really?" asked Min Sun,
Jong Hyun nodded, then Min Sun smiled.
she removed her ipod from Jong Hyun's ears, then she put it on her own ears,
her ipod was still playing "Ar-Rahman",
she smiled then turned off her ipod..
she looked at her watch again, it was 6.45 pm,
she was asleep for only about 30 minutes, then she asked Jong Hyun,
"are you feeling better? do you want me to get you something?"
"I'll tell you when i need anything." he said.
"Jong Hyun.."
"Yes?"
"Why didn't you tell me that you were sick? auntie said you never tell your family that you were sick.. why?"
"i don't want you guys to worry much about me."
Min Sun shook her head,
"You shouldn't.. Jong Hyun. what you're trying to hide just makes us all worried.."
Jong Hyun looked at Min Sun's eyes.
"You're worried about me, Minnie?" he asked.
Min Sun explained the whole thing, from her uncomfy feelings, the broken glass tragedy,
she explained them all, she also said that she thought Jong Hyun was playing on her again like the last time he was sick,
"Mianhae.." she said.
Jong Hyun just smiled, and he said..
"Well at least you're fullfilling your responsibility to accompany me here. Where's mom, dad and Lee Jae?"
"They went back home. I told them to."
"Why?" asked Jong Hyun
"Cause i felt guilty. Are you happy now?" asked Min Sun, joking.
Jong Hyun just laughed weakly, and shook his head.
Min Sun then asked for time to do her prayings,
Jong Hyun said go ahead, but when Min Sun was about to go to the bathroom, he stopped her,
"Minnie, can i borrow your ipod again?"
"Of course...," said Min Sun, while walking to the table to get her ipod and give it to Jong Hyun, "what song do you want to hear?"
"uhm.. the song you made me hear while i was asleep.." said Jong Hyun, straightforward.
Min Sun chuckled,
"It's called a 'surah', Jong Hyun. It's kinda like a letter.. hmmm. a verse, like in Bible, but this is for Muslims. Maybe you thought it was a song coz of the 'tartil'. Tartil is a way to read surahs with melodies like that.."
Jong Hyun stared at Min Sun, his face looked funny, it seems that he doesn't understand a word that Min Sun was saying, but he got the point, though.
"You wanna hear it again? The surah's name is Ar-Rahman."
Jong Hyun said yes, then Min Sun helped him put the earphones on,
Min Sun then walked to the bathroom slowly, when she was inside, she smiled and thought..
Whoa, Jong Hyun actually liked hearing the verses.. it's amazing, wow.. I.. just can't imagine..
She took a wudhu, and when she went out from the bathroom she saw Jong Hyun still listening on her ipod.
his eyes were closed. Min Sun was wondering that if Jong Hyun fell asleep again that fast,
she took out her sholat things again, and started praying..
a few minutes later, Min Sun finished her praying and she turned around to see Jong Hyun again,
his eyes were still closed, maybe he was still sleeping. Min Sun was tidying up her sholat things, when her handphone vibrated (she silent-ed it)
she saw the number calling and she didn't recognize it, she just picked it up,
"Hello?"
"Hey, Min Sun?"
"Who is this?"
"It's me, Seung Ri.."
"Oh.. Seung Ri?!"
Jong Hyun's eyes suddenly opened..
To be continued...
