so many little things about heeseung feel different to me now 🥹🫳🏻
we can never know exactly what he went through or what every little detail means to him, but knowing this part of his story makes so many things feel a little clearer. he was just a little boy who went through something incredibly difficult, and somehow he grew up into someone who still finds happiness in the smallest things. i just hope he gets to keep those little joys forever.
i love you so much heeseung, please keep smiling, keep doing the things that make you happy, and never lose that little spark in you. you deserve so many more happy days 🥹🫳🏻
Evan talks about being diagnosed with cancer when he was younger:
"The treatment process wasn’t easy, but when I saw how my mom took care of me nonstop, I wanted to put on a brave face for her. When the hospital held events like talent shows for the patients, I’d play guitar and even host them.
I dreamed of being a singer ever since I was six, but to be honest, back then I didn’t really have the mental bandwidth to even think about that. I’d watch my friends pass away and kept thinking, “I want to live so badly, I want to go home.”
Thankfully I made it through treatment and got to go on with my life, but fitting back in with my friends wasn’t easy.
I had a lot less energy, and since my hair was still growing back from chemo, I got teased a lot for it. My friends would be like, “What is that, grass? You’re like a monk.” But I just took it because I wanted to fit in. Once I got to middle school, I had some good friends, but I wasn’t as outgoing as before.
I became more of an introvert. I haven’t thought about that in a long time. It hurts to bring it back up."
this little boy was only in fourth grade when he was diagnosed with cancer… he was going through treatment while watching the friends he met in the hospital pass away, and all he could think about was, “I want to live so badly. I want to go home.”
He was just a child, yet he already knew what it felt like to be afraid that he might not get to grow up. and somehow, through all of that, he still tried to smile, put on a brave face for his mom, play guitar at hospital events, and hold onto the hope that he would make it home :(
oh God HEESEUNG truly deserves all the love, peace, and gentleness in this world 😭🫳🏻
— #EVAN REVELA QUE TUVO CÁNCER...
🦌: En 4to de primaria me diagnosticaron un linfoma maligno. Empezó como una tos que parecía resfriado, pero jugando fútbol me quedé sin aire y en el hospital me enteré de que era cáncer
🦌: El tratamiento fué duro, pero me mostraba fuerte por mi mamá, en el hospital tocaba la guitarra en shows para pacientes, aunque quería ser cantante, en ese momento solo pensaba en vivir e irme a casa al ver morir a otros niños
🦌: Logré superarlo, pero al volver me molestaban porque mi cabello apenas crecía por la quimio y me faltaba energía; para encajar lo aguanté, pero me volví más introvertido, tenía mucho sin pensar en eso; duele recordarlo...
