More Than Love

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Doctor Chan asked Yoonki, a friend and one of the patients at his hospital who worked.

"Eo," Yoonki confirmed Doctor Chan's question.

"But why?" asked Doctor Chan again.

Yoonki didn't answer immediately and instead looked at Chanbin now. He sighed in annoyance and took a deep breath.

"You can do it, can't you? If you can, say yes and don't ask why," said Yoonki, who doesn't want to talk much and explain to Doctor Chan.

Doctor Chan finally took a deep breath and nodded resignedly to agree with Yoonki.

"You're weird, Yoon," Doctor Chan mumbled randomly.

After coming home from the hospital, Yoonki strolled toward his room. Today he went home to his parents and wanted to be in his current condition. His mother cared for him and got more attention from his parents.

Yoonki opened the door to his room slowly, but Yoonki stopped because someone cleared his throat behind him. Yoonki turned his body and reflexively bowed his body in greeting.

"Hyung," Yoongi said briefly.

"You, home? What's wrong? You, sick, Yoon?" asked Seo Jin Yoonki, who could see Yoonki.

Yoongi smiled slightly and shook his head slowly.

"Are you asking or interrogating me, Hyung?" said Yoongi then.

Seo Jin chuckled at his silliness. Seo Jin then approached Yoonki and patted his younger brother's shoulder lightly.

"I'm worried about you, Yoon. Your face looks ashen. Are you sick? That's why you came home?" Seo Jin asked again.

Yoongi smiled again and shook his head slowly.

"Maybe it's because I'm tired, Hyung. I need to rest and calm down," Yoonki gave an excuse.

Seo Jin nodded his head in understanding, Seo Jin's face changed, and his eyes sparkled brightly.

"We eat together, okay? Eomma just cooked our favorite food. It seems he already has a feeling you will come home tonight," said Seo Jin.

Yoonki smiled again and nodded in response to Seo Jin's invitation.

The two of them were now sitting at the dining table. The mother has indeed cooked many types of food. Yoonki looks smiling, looking at all the food on the dining table.

"Eat a lot, Yoon! You rarely come home," said Mr. Oh, the father of Seo Jin and Yoonki.

"It's true what your father said, and you haven't been home for a long time. Eat! This is the green mussel that just arrived when Mom bought it," said Mrs. Oh, who then brought the green scallop she had cooked to Yoonki.

Yoonki looked at his mother, then looked at the mother's cooking. Yoonki smiled faintly, then nodded his head. Without hesitation, Yoonki then enjoyed dinner with his family.

"Why are you eating something you shouldn't eat, Yoon? If you keep this up, you'll die silly!" Taeoh scolds one of the allergy doctors who always treats Yoonki when his allergies recur.

Yoonki smiled faintly, although after smiling, he still grimaced now and then because he felt his stomach hurt and his chest tight.

"My mother cooked green mussels, Tae. How could I not eat that food," said Yoonki in response.

"What? Green scallop? Are you crazy or what? Why are you eating it?" Taeoh asked again, who then hit Yoonki quite hard.

"Yes! It hurts," said Yoonki, grumbling.

"Doesn't your family know that you are allergic to seafood? But how come? You are in her son too." Taeoh asked again, getting confused at Yoonki's.

Yoonki smiled lopsidedly, then breathed.

"Maybe, they forgot," said Yoonki casually.

Taeoh couldn't believe the answer from Yoonki, even though casual. Still, a disappointed tone came from Yoonki this time. Taeoh was silent and looked at Yoonki with pity. Yoonki himself then looked at Taeoh and then chuckled, annoyed.

"Do you want to stay silent like that, or do you want to treat me?" asked Yoonki again.

Taeoh shook his head, returning himself to focus. Taeoh then took the injection he had prepared for Yoonki.

"I'm injecting you now, Yoon," said Taeoh after being able to awaken himself to treat Yoonki immediately.

In another room and the same hospital.health check-up test results for Yoonki the last time. Doctor Chan then took a deep breath and put down Yoonki.

"Hopefully, your path is indeed the right one, Yoon. At least maybe this is one of the things that can make you happy," Chan said in a monologue and held his forehead, which suddenly hurt from thinking about the fate of the patient and his best friend.

Sena opened the door to her apartment slowly, and not long after that, a big smile appeared on her lips.

"Yoon," Sena called, who then hugged her lover tightly.

"How are you? Sorry I haven't seen you in a few days. I'm busy," Yoonki said while hugging Sena warmly.

Sena shook her head slowly, a sign that it was okay.

"Are you not busy today?" Sena asked, who then let go of his arms on Yoonki.

Yoonki smiled and then smoothed Sena's mane slowly.

"It's not busy. That's why I'm here. You, have you had dinner? Or, should we go out for dinner?" asked Yoongi then.

"No need, I've already cooked dinner. Come on in!" asked Sena, who then brought Yoonki into his apartment.

They have been together since Sena returned from America. For approximately three years, they had a serious relationship. Tonight Yoonki intends to ask Sena to marry. Yoonki has even prepared a ring to propose to Sena. Yoonki briefly opened the gold ring box he was holding. Yoonki smiled happily and then closed the ring box again. Yoonki put the ring box back into his pants pocket.

Not long after Sena returned with the food he had cooked, he put all the food on the dining table.

"Let us eat!" asked Sena, who sat on one of the dining table chairs in front of Yoonki.

"Eo." Yoonki agreed and then started to pick up chopsticks and enjoy his dinner with Sena.

After they finished half of the food, Sena let out a voice and looked at Yoonki.

"Ah, what a coincidence that you're here, Yoon. There's something I want to talk about," said Sena, opening the conversation.

"Really? What is it, Sena?" asked Yoonki, who then put a mouthful of rice with side dishes into his mouth.

Sena was silent momentarily and looked at Yoonki. The girl then sipped water on the right side of her hand. Yoonki himself waited patiently while still busy chewing his food.

"Em, if I say this, will you be angry?" asked slowly.

"Angry? For what, Sena? What did you do to make me angry? Just say it! I will listen carefully and will not be angry at all," said Yoonki, who felt funny by Sena's question.

Sena smiled faintly and nodded her head in agreement with Yoonki. Sena then breathed and looked at Yoonki closely and deeply.

"I got a scholarship to Russia for two years, Yoon. I have agreed, and next week I'm leaving," said Sena giving good and bad news for Yoonki.

"Scholarship to Russia? 2 years?" asked Yoonki, trying to make sure he heard himself and didn't hear wrong.

"Eo, Russia. You, of course, remember I want to study Masters's there, don't you? This is my chance, Yoon. You don't mind. Only two years, that's a short time," Sena said, persuading Yoonki to agree to his departure to Russia.

"Only two years?" Yoonki quietly asked again as if he was asking himself.

Enthusiasm and happiness Yoonki suddenly just disappeared. Yoonki put down his spoon and looked at Sena now. Yoonki needed clarification. What answer should he give to Sena?

"2 years is short, Sena. But..."
