A/N: Sorry for the delay! I contracted the flu... I'm still writing but we do need to listen to our bodies too! Soo... here we go!

A few hours had passed, Anthony soon became close with the Choi Seniors, happily discussing about anything from politics to entertainment. MHL's manager was now sleeping on the hospital couch while the boys are gathered around Eira's bed. 

Cyril is sitting beside Eira, Benedict standing beside them and Tyrone sitting at the foot of the bed. Mick and Jun were standing on the other side of Eira's bed and was reenacting something  they saw while filming.

A knock then a mop of slightly messy pink hair appeared on the crack of the door. The door opened completely revealing the grinning heart specialist, "Hey everyone!"

"Jung Su come in..."

"Uncle!"

He then gestured to the nurse behind him and she nodded then hurriedly walked away. Dr. Park came inside the room and closed the door still wearing a goofy smile. The boys bowed respectfully (even Benedict) to the new comer and he replied with a slight wave. Dr. Park moved closer to the direction of the Chois and Mr. Rothschild then bowed respectfully.

"Big bro and big sis, nice to see you again! "

Mr. Choi was about to introduce Mr. Rothschild and the heart specialist when JungSu packed a light punch on the taller man's arm. "Long time no see world star..."

Anthony laughed  and jokingly punched Jung Su's arm in response, "don't call me that, Mr. Big shot"

Everyone (except the sleeping manager) looked confusingly at the two. They were grinning at each other and kept their silence. Mick looked at Cyril and Cyril just gave a small smile at the youngest. 

Jungsu looked at Eira and Benedict from the corner of his eyes... he knows those two won't be able to tame their curiosity, he whispered "any minute now..."

"erm... Uncle Jungsu..."

Dr. Park grinned after hearing Eira's voice, "Yes princess?"

"How did you know Mr. Rothschild?"

Dr. Park's grin widened and he pointed to the taller man, "this world star was once my classmate... he was shorter than me then..."

"Still bitter about it? I told you to drink milk so you could've grown taller."

"Shut up you giant!"

Anthony laughed and Jungsu followed suit leaving everyone dumbfounded. The Choi couple looked at each other and sighed... the other six people in the room still sported confused faces.

"Big shot, I think we made them confused. I'm sorry everyone."

"Why are you apologizing? We didn't do anything wrong."

Benedict scoffed and rolled his eyes, "geez... "

"So... you and Dr. Park were former classmates, sir?"

Anthony smiled at the youngest and nodded, "We were best buds before I became a trainee..."

"We still are though..."

Anthony chuckled, "yes... we still are... although we rarely meet and it's mostly drinking sessions."

JungSu then started telling stories of his and Anthony's school days garnering everyone's attention but before he could reveal any embarrassing story, Mr. Rothschild cleared his throat... "Aren't you supposed to be working, Mr. Big shot?"

"You are just trying to stop me from telling everyone about the Chemistry story..."

"Don't you even dare!"

Jung su's chuckle became a full blown laughter at the now red face of the CEO. Benedict, Tyrone and Mick were stifling their laughter out of respect for their CEO while Mrs. Choi was gushing at how cute the world star is...

Mr. Choi patted Anthony's back, "I apologize if this kid is like this... JungSu likes teasing everyone."

"Its okay Sir... he'd been like this since I've known him."

"Call me Big Brother, Anthony. Jung Su is like a son to me  and you two are friends."

Eira was grinning ear to ear at his Uncle Jungsu and Mr. Rothschild's conversation when Eira felt a sudden throbbing pain on her chest. She gasped and bit her lip trying to hide the pain from everyone but Cyril heard that gasp and immediately turned his attention, 

"Are you okay? Does anything hurt? I'll call Dr Park..."

She shook her head and asked for a glass of water which Cyril provided. The water helped ease the pain and Eira released a relieved sigh. Cyril returned to his place on the bed and he felt Eira laying her head on his shoulder. In response, Cyril moved a bit closer to put Eira on a one arm hug with her laying her head on his chest.

"Cyril..."

"Hm?"

"Can I ask for a favor?"

"Of course love... you know I cannot deny you anything."

Eira placed something on Cyril's hand, he looked and found Eira's favorite necklace. It has a pendant with the character of Eira's name (He Ran) inside a snowflake.

"This is..."

"Can you... wear my necklace when you perform? I may not be there but with this, you will still feel my presence..."

"Eira, quit it. You're scaring me."

Eira chuckled, "The great Cyril Lancaster scared? "

Cyril looked at the necklace and played with the pendant, "I'm still human you know..."

Eira faked a surprised expression, her eyes twinkling with hidden laughter. Her normally hidden dimples now showing on both cheeks... "You are? I didn't know!"

Cyril laughed heartily, "You are proving yourself as Ben's cousin..."

Eira moved out of Cyril's hug and pouted, "I'm not a flirt like big brother... "

Cyril couldn't resist pinching Eira's cheek which earned him the deadliest glare Eira could muster. Cyril knew his girlfriend was upset...

"I'm sorry... I was just joking but Ben's right. That glare of yours is starting to get scarier every time I see it."

Eira was still glaring at him and he sighed, "Come on love... we only have a few hours left today, let's not ruin the remaining hours by fighting."

"You are right, as usual. Just don't say that again, big brother's reputation is something I don't want to have."

Benedict's voice intruded the couple's discussion, "Hey, I heard that! What's with my reputation, princess?"

"Nothing big brother! I love you!"

Benedict crossed his arms maintaining the poker face, 

"That makes it more suspicious, Eira. You must have said something bad about me. Tsk tsk tsk... bad little sister."

Eira looked around and was surprised that everyone's attention was on them. Even Mr. Rothschild and Dr. Park was now smiling at their direction. 

Eira blushed and hid her face on Cyril's chest... said boyfriend enveloped Eira in a hug, chuckling.

Anthony looked at his wrist watch and stood, "Kids, we need to go. You have to practice for the performance tomorrow."

Mick groaned and Tyrone patted his back smiling... Anthony politely bowed to Eira's parents and made plans with Jung Su for a drinking session a few days after since he has free days which were rare.

Eira moved out of Cyril's hug and the latter stood, still holding the necklace in his hand. He gave a kiss on Eira's cheek then moved to the direction of the younger members. Eira missed the warmth of Cyril's arms around her but she understands the fact that she was in a relationship with a famous boy band 's leader.

Jun made his way to their manager who was still sleeping, "Uncle..."

The manager did not make any kind of movement so Jun tried one more time, "Uncle... we need to go..."

Still no movement... Benedict helped Jun shake their manager awake but the shouts of "Uncle" did nothing. Anthony sighed and walked closer to the sleeping manager, he shook the manager's shoulder

"Hey..."

"............."

Anthony's face morphed to serious "don't mess with me" look, Jun and Benedict shivered a little and moved away. He kneeled close to the manager's ear and whispered,

"If you do not get up in one minute, you will be mopping the floors of all three buildings I own starting tonight."

Anthony Rothschild stood with a (sexy) evil smirk on his face and a few seconds after the manager bolted up and bowed several times to the still evilly grinning CEO. The manager excused himself to get the car and immediately ran to get the van ready.

Jun whispered to Benedict, "Did you hear what sir Anthony whispered to manager Uncle?"

"No and I have this feeling that I'm better off not knowing anything."

Jun gulped and nodded, figuring it would probably be the best for him too. Anthony walked to Eira's bedside and patted her shoulder, "feel better soon, okay? I'll try to visit you again."

Eira nodded and smiled, "thank you Sir... b-big brother... "

Anthony patted Eira's cheek and bowed again in front of Eira's parents. Dr. Park lightly punched his friend's arm, "why do you get to be big brother when they call me uncle?"

"Because I look younger than you. Stay with your patient and don't goof off like you always do."

Dr. Park placed a hand on his heart, "Aw, you know me quite well Tony! I knew you love me!"

"Shut up... boys, let's go."

*chuckle* "I'll walk you guys out" 

Anthony followed by JungSu who now slipped his professional mask on walked out first. Mick was about to run to Eira and give her a hug but Cyril pushed him lightly to the direction of the door with a glare. He pouted and just made do with a wave goodbye. 

Tyrone slung an arm lazily around Jun's shoulders, "no teasing Cyril  today. We have practice and performances, okay?"

Jun pouted but nodded, he was looking forward to teasing their leader but he knew that Tyrone was right so he let himself be steered to outside the door after a wave to Eira. Benedict bade his goodbyes and kissed his aunt's cheek before running to his cousin's direction to give her a hug Eira happily responded to.

"Princess, take care of yourself okay? Don't give aunt and uncle headache. Remember to call me if there's any problem. Even if I'm in the middle of a performance, you know I'll run to you."

Eira grinned, "I know big brother!  I'll be good. Go and make all those women fall in love with you!"

"I don't have to make much effort, little sis... you know I'm irresistible."

Eira laughed and patted his cousin's arm, "Ew... I admire your guts. I really really do..."

"I'm glad to be your source of entertainment, Ms. Choi."

"You're welcome, big brother!"

Jun, Mick and Tyrone's heads appeared on the crack of the almost closed door, "Big bro Ben! Big bro Cy! Manager Uncle is looking for us and Sir Anthony is already in his car! Let's go!"

"You three run along to the van now, Cyril and I will be there soon. Go straight to the van understood?!"

A chorus of "Yessir!" from the trio and they disappeared from the door making Benedict shake his head and Eira chuckle. Another hug from Benedict who seemed reluctant to let go and he walked to the door. 

Cyril who was trailing behind Benedict ran back to the surprised girl...

"Give me your hand."

"huh?"

"Your hand... we are short of time."

Eira sighed irritably but still gave him her hand, "geez...I love you but you get bossy sometimes..."

Eira gasped when she felt something cold slip into her ring finger, she looked up at her boyfriend a look of pure disbelief on her face. Cyril was now blushing and he nervously licked his lips and grinned sheepishly...

"You don't have to look THAT surprised... you really don't think I can give you something like this huh?"

Eira wanted to say something but her throat suddenly felt dry so she shook her head violently instead. Cyril chuckled, now very much amused at Eira's face, "Don't shake your head too much, it might get detached ..."

"But I... this..."

Eira looked at the ring on her finger then at Cyril's blushing face, "I... I've had that a week ago. I just... I was looking for the right timing."

Eira felt tears threatening to come out of her eyes but she blinked them before they could fall, the last thing she wanted was for Cyril to think that she didn't like the present he gave her.

"Cyril! We need to go! Just call Eira later!"

Cyril looked at the door then at Eira who had the same expression as his at the moment. Cyril gave one last kiss on Eira's ring finger then a courteous bow to Eira's parents who are now standing beside Eira's bed before he ran out of the room smiling like crazy.

"He's such a sweet boy, right darling?"

Mr. Choi did not answer but smiled at his daughter who was still looking at her hand. "He Ran dear, your ring might disappear if you look at it too much."

"Daddy... Cyril gave me a ring..."

"We saw dear..."

Mrs. Choi smacked Mr. Choi's head, "stop being sarcastic, darling."

Mr. Choi held his head, "ow... tch, why did I marry such a violent woman?"Mrs. Choi smiled sweetly and kissed her husband's lips, "because you love me too much."

Eira sighed at the sight of her parents, "not in front of me please..."

Mrs. Choi crossed her arms in front of her chest and glared defiantly at her daughter, "not like you don't do that with your boyfriend."

Eira groaned as her father started laughing. Mrs. Choi stopped glaring at her daughter and instead took Eira's hand to look at the ring she received a few minutes ago. Eira's spirit was automatically lifted as soon as the topic of her ring came up. Mr. Choi grinned and excused himself as he answered a phone call even though none of the two Choi ladies spared a glance at him.

A few minutes later, Mr. Choi came in with a troubled expression. Eira saw her father's expression and immediately told her umma about it.

"Darling what's wrong?"

"There's a big problem about the project we closed last week."

Eira nodded and smiled at her father, "its okay dad, you need to do your work... no need to worry about me. Mom and Uncle Jung su is here too..."

Mrs. Choi nodded and smiled at her husband who still wore the same troubled expression. "I may need to stay overnight for that project."

Mrs. Choi took one of her husband's hands and squeezed it, "Come on darling, its not like you aren't coming back right? Besides you will call us often right?"

"You know I will... He Ran dear?"

"Dad I'll be okay... just go to work and do what a boss do best then come back to us before they slice me."

Mr. Choi sighed and touched his daughter's cheek "You have your mother's tactlessness princess... ", he felt the glare behind him so he quickly added, "...not that anything is wrong with that ahahaha."

Mrs. Choi and Eira laughed at the sheepish Mr. Choi who was scratching his head in embarrassment.

Dr. Park felt a lump on his throat when he saw the Choi family happy... he loved them like his own and God knows how hard this is for him. He sighed and inwardly cursed himself for accepting Eira's case; it was his policy to not get emotions involved with his cases until now.

He knew he needed to go somewhere to cool off his head and so he walked away and proceeded to the hospital's renowned garden. Dr. Park walked over to his favorite place... a bench right in front of a man made pond. 

Whenever he feels burdened and needing to clear his mind, he normally stays there. He leaned on the bench and sighed...

"Can I really do this?"

==========================FLASHBACK - a few hours earlier==========================

"JungSu!"

Dr. Park faced the direction of the voice and bowed politely "ah... Dr. Lee"

"I have the results for your favorite patient. Unfortunately I have bad news..."

Jungsu took the results handed to him and he stiffened, "Let's discuss this in my office please."

Dr. Lee Chunghee  nodded and followed Jung su to his office. After closing the door, Jung Su was still looking intently at the results so he took the opportunity to look around. He saw a particular picture on Jung Su's desk and he looked at it closely. 

It was a picture of two young boys and one girl... one boy looked much older than the two other kids and he had an arm loosely hung on the little girl with pigtails.

"Is this the Choi girl?"

Jung Su looked up from the results and nodded. ChungHee placed the picture down and sat on the chair across Jung Su and crossed his legs.

"Chunghee, her heart's enlargement... does this mean the medicines..."

"Yes. Her body is rejecting the medicines..."

Jung su's brows scrunched up in concentration, ChungHee patted Jung su's arm lightly "We can still give her a different set of medicines and observe. Hopefully we can see the difference 4 hours before the operation."

Jung Su sighed and placed the results on his table and looked at ChungHee. ChungHee can see the determination and seriousness in the younger doctor's eyes and despite being older by 5 years he felt smaller somehow.

"We can still do a transplant on her right?"

"Yes but it is a little risky and the last available heart we have has just been used earlier."

Jung Su shot from his seat and shouted, "What?!"

Chunghee stiffened and bowed his head, "there was an emergency earlier, you know about that. We had to do immediate transplant or he'll die."

Jung Su slumped on the chair and massaged his forehead, "Sorry  I didn't mean to shout."

ChungHee released a deep breath and smiled at the younger doctor he had always thought was a close friend. 

"Listen Jung Su... we may be doctors but we are not Gods... I've already sent a request for a heart fit for Choi He Ran's qualifications earlier when I saw the results."

The older doctor stood and stretched "Now I need to go because I have another operation in 15 minutes. You are the best heart surgeon we have in Seoul, Jung su. Remember that. We all trust you so believe in yourself."

Jung Su let out a small smile, "thank you sir..."

"Ah you called me sir without me telling you to! This is an improvement! Give that little girl a kiss for me all right? Make sure that you follow up on that heart request before you go home tonight. It would be faster if they see your handsome face doing the requesting."

"You sure like to tease me! Get ready for your operation!"

Chunghee left the room still laughing...
