I took her hand as if I was waiting for someone to give one.

??? : It's all gonna be okay. (-smiles sweetly-)

Her words were so simple yet it relieved my heart so much that it felt healing. Sometimes, you neednot be consoled with big words, just the simplest ones said with a true heart can aid your wounds immensely, I learnt it that day.

I was just lost for a while, totally forgetting about our hands which were still held until she eyed it.

Getting back from my thoughts, I let go of it promptly as realization got the best of me.

??? : (-very friendly-) Don't think of it as a misfortune. You'll be able to walk again soon. So, make sure to take advantage of ordering people while you can.

She smiled again clutching her IV stand and walked away from my left leaving me contemplating if I knew her before or it was our first meet.

Curiosity wrapped my mind making me turn my wheelchair all around to see where she was going.

But, not very lucky, I was too late to turn. She was already gone- nowhere in my view.

In the evening

.

.

It was about forty minutes left for my hyungs to be here, so I was going back to my room.

I was running the wheels towards the elevator when a low volumed familair voice fell on my ears. When I followed it, I arrived at a general room with three beds of which the corner ones were empty and on the middle was her- the girl I met before.

She was talking to a camera she set up on the small dinning table in front of her.

Before I knew it, I was already comfortable halting there and staring at her.

??? : (-talking to the camera-) Alright, sorry for being inactive lately. As you can see in the background, I am currently in a hospital receiving treatment. (-showing her IV insertion-) And I guess, I will have a short hiatus till I return back home. I am so sorry guys but you know right, (-dramatically-) I love you~ (-chuckles-) Was  that cheesy? Anyways, I am talking off now, everyone be well! (-showing a peace sign against her eye-) KC's Out!

She shoved the hand with peace sign towards the camera before shutting it. It seemed like a signature gesture.

She next, hovered the laptop on the table removing the tripod stand and inserted the memory card to the former. She moved her fingers on the mouse pad probably editing her now recorded video while I followed every movement she made without realizing it.

??? : (-eyes on her laptop-) It doesn't seem like your room, mister. (-looking at me-)

Dumbfoundedly, I looked up at the ceiling not to get caught looking at her.

??? : (-looking at the ceiling-) Yeah, the ceiling is pretty nice. You can come in if you want to. (-smiles-)

For some reason, her smile seemed friendly and comfortable enough for me to ease up a little bit and roll the wheels to her bed.

ME : (-looking at her camera and laptop-) Do you have a YouTube Channel?

??? : Yes, I do. I am a travel Vlogger.

ME : (-smile-) Ah, I see. You must be busy working on your videos. Sorry to disturb you.

??? : It's okay. We can talk. I have seen you being quite lonely around here. (-shutting the laptop-)

Her friendly nature made her appear even more charming and beautiful than she already was.

ME : (-trying to be friendly-) Have you been stalking me?

??? : (-widens eyes funnily-) Oops, I guess I was. Did I get caught?

We both laughed.

??? : But hey, your english has gotten so much better. You are almost fluent.

ME : Yeah, thanks. (-realizing-) Oh wait, how do you know I was learning English? By any chance, you know who I was all these time?

??? : Probably.

ME : (-chucles-) Why didn't you tell me that before?

??? : Isn't it easier and less awkward to approach people who don't know you as a "star" than to people who know you already?

She had a point I thought. Maybe I would've  just passed by her room if she came to me as a fan earlier. I would've treated her like any another Army since I loved them all with an equal heart.

??? : Besides, I don't think I can call myself an Army.

ME : And why is that so?

??? : I don't know. I mean, I have never attended any of your concerts, don't own any BTS albums nor any merchandise or just even an Army bomb. Nothing.

ME : (-chuckles-) Well, people with those are no doubt Armys but even without them, if anyone truly loves and supports our work, respects each one of us and can benefit him/herself with our music. They are Armys too. (-smiles-)

??? : (-smiles back-) You speak really nice. I feel honored and I am sure Armys like me will be proud to be stanning artists like BTS.

I felt my smile not wanting to stay on my face anymore. Will they be proud if they knew what was going inside of BTS now? Will they still be proud of us now?

A question maybe I was trying not to get an answer to.

??? : (-distracting me-) Anyways, what happened that brought you to the hospital? I believe there's nothing about you getting injured in the K-news. Or there is? Haven't I checked properly? (-searching in the her phone-)

ME : Ah no, no. There isn't anything there. My agency did a pretty good job not to get it leaked to the media.

??? : And what makes you feel safe telling me about it? I have got almost a million subscribers and many among them are Armys too.

ME : Can't a friend keep a little secret?

??? : I see, I have got a new friend without even knowing I did.

ME : (-giggles-) Well, if you want to though.

??? : Hmm... But, will you be okay?

ME : It's okay. You don't seem like an obsessive fan.

??? : (-leans and whispers-) Don't be so sure, buddy. (-moves back-)

We both grinned and continued talking for a while. She told me how she ended up in the hospital.

She was on a flight to Shanghai, China which was to refill its fuel there before making it to the final stop, South Korea.

But, due to a heavy fog, the pilots were unable to see the runway and so they first decided to remain circling in the air till it was clearer and safer for them to land.

Later, they changed their judgement about the fog not quiet favoring them, they started on their flight to South Korea which was a little risky since they were already flying on emergency fuel.

Not quite fortunate, they realized the emergency fuel wouldn't last till they landed in Korea. So, the consummate Captain very professionally singled out to land on a sea near South Korea.

The ground crew were informed of the situation and they sent a rescue team to the sight they were expected to land.

The landing was not so smooth or eventful either. Due to the steep angle the Captain had to take being short on fuel, they hit the water way harder than they expected.

Many parts of the wings had cracks and eventually fell apart from the body of the plane due to the heavy impact. The plane was drowing.

The rescue team was already present on the spot and immediately swam over to the passengers inside the plane.

Many were injured but fortunately no one died. The government of Korea allowed the passengers to get treatment to those too, who didn't have South Korean Visas.

ME : It must be a traumatic experience.

??? : It was scary, but not traumatic. I mean, there's no point having a trauma for something that has already passed. You are good till you have the experience.

I liked her perspective of life and how she had a bright personality with positivity glowing in every inch of her smile.

ME : So, how long are you gonna stay in Korea?

??? : Till I get discharged I guess. I was originally going to China. So, they will probably kick me out without the Visa.

I grinned; her nature strangely gave a comfortable region for people to be around.

Days and weeks went by, I learnt more about her, how she has a craze for different cultures and traditions and how she wants to travel the whole world. I also learnt her name, a big information. Sarcasm to be noted.

In the meantime, I shared about how I ended up in wheel chairs although I didn't confess I committed suicide since I was not really proud of that. I just went with "I had an accident".

Besides, I could finally share all the truth my heart held- all my feelings for Su Ah noona without leaving any nooks to someone.

It felt like she was the person I have always been waiting for- the listening ear which I have been longing for all these time.

She was the only person who accepted everything the easiest and told me it was okay that I have feelings for Su Ah noona. Even though she was someone else's.

We grew close in a very short time, we would stroll in the garden, listen to music and also eat the stereotypically terrible hospital food together. It had become our daily routine.

Today too, while listening to music on a bench outside the hospital, she nudged me a little. But, I was too lost in the song I was listening to while drawing- my passtime.

She, not giving up, pulled out one of my earphones and asked me to look at the direction she was pointing at.

At first, I didn't believe what I saw amidst the crowd. It was . . .

Who it is? Any guesses?
