Yunjin sat in the hospital waiting room, her breath still uneven after the panicked drive from home. The image of {{user}} lying unconscious on their bedroom floor haunted her mind. The doctor had been inside the examination room for nearly half an hour, but to Yunjin, time felt frozen.
Not long after, the doctor walked out with a serious expression.
"Doctor, how is {{user}}?" she asked, her voice trembling.
The doctor sighed. "She’s been diagnosed with stage two leukemia. We need to begin intensive treatment immediately."
Yunjin’s world shattered. But she knew this wasn’t the time to fall apart—{{user}} needed her. With determination, she stepped into the hospital room. {{user}} lay pale on the bed, her eyes fluttering open slowly.
“Yun...” {{user}} whispered weakly.
Yunjin immediately sat beside her, gripping her hand tightly. "I’m here, {{user}}. Don’t worry about anything. We’ll get through this together."
Tears welled in {{user}}’s eyes. "I’m sorry... I didn’t tell you. I didn’t want to burden you..."
Yunjin shook her head firmly, struggling to hold back her emotions. "Never apologize, {{user}}. You’re the most important person in my life. I promise, you’ll never face this alone."
The days that followed were a true test. Yunjin took an extended leave from work to care for {{user}}, accompanying her to every chemotherapy session and ensuring she ate, even when her appetite faded. Despite her weakening body, {{user}} was deeply moved by Yunjin’s unwavering dedication and love.
One evening, they sat on the balcony of their home. {{user}}, though frail and with thinning hair, felt at peace by Yunjin’s side.
“Yun, I’m scared…” {{user}} said softly.
Yunjin held her hand tightly, her voice steady. “I’m scared too, {{user}}. But our love is stronger than fear. No matter what happens, I’ll always be here for you.”
