---HOSOK'S POV---

I was walking alongside Jungkook when he suddenly stopped. He was gasping and coughing at the same time and it scared me to death...

"Kook? Are you okay?"

"H...hyung..." He choked, barely able to speak at all. There was fear in his eyes, and his voice shook uncertainly.

Just then, his eyes rolled back in his head and he collapsed on the ground, hitting his head hard on the pavement.

"Hyung..." He whispered before blacking out completely.

I panicked and knelt down beside him quickly, shaking his shoulders, but he was barely breathing and wouldn't wake up.

I fumbled desperately around in my pocket for my phone but then I remembered I had leant it to Y/N when she broke hers!

"HELP!" I cried out, tears pouring down my face. "SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME!"

I could barely hear Jungkooks breath any more. It was just a faint rasp in his throat.

"What's up?" A familiar voice said.

I looked over my shoulder and saw Choi Minho,  the guy that bullied Jungkook earlier that year, standing behind me.

"Please... He is barely breathing..." I begged. "You have to help me!"

Minho looked at Jungkook and sighed. He knelt down beside him and I tensed up, not knowing what he was going to do.

"Lets get him off the path. Lay him on the bench over there whilst I call and ambulance."

I nodded as he stood up and got his phone out of his pocket and dialled 999.

"Hello? Yes. Please I need an ambulance for my friend. He is dying..." He said into the phone as I lifted Jungkook off the path and laid him out on the bench. I wondered why Minho called Jungkook a friend now? Was it just because he knew he was sick? Was Jungkook really dying?!

He came off the phone and walked over to me, too calm for the situation.

"They said to put him in the recovery position to help him breathe. They are five minutes away."

I nodded and rolled his body to the side like they always showed you in those dumb safety videos.

When the ambulance arrived, I thanked Minho and got into the ambulance with Kook. Minho smiled softly at me as the doors closed. I guess that was a mix of "you're welcome" and "take care of him" and "I'm sorry for before."

We arrived at the hospital and Jungkook was taken into the emergency room whilst I stayed outside.

I could hear his groans and cries of pain as he woke up a little, but they must have put him out with medicine to do an operation, as the room fell into silence.

I called Y/N.

"Y/N? Jungkook is sick. I brought him to hospital after he collapsed." I explained over the phone

"What?! Is he okay?" She asked, voice full of panic.

"I don't know. Pick up the guys and get down here okay? They are at the dance studio."

"Sure. We are coming!"

She hung up and I was left, sitting in silence outside the surgery room. I was really worried about him, especially when three extra doctors were called to his room, and they came running with more surgery stuff.

I begged for him to be okay, for Y/N's sake...

---JUNGKOOK'S POV---

The first thing I felt was excruciating pain in my lungs, then I couldn't breathe, then it all went black.

I woke up half way through my surgery, and the doctors had to give me a sleeping pill to stop me panicking, as it would make it harder for me to breathe.

When I next woke up, the clock showed that 6 hours had passed.

I could hardly breathe, but the nurse was beside me, helping me to sit up, and whispering kind words to me. She reminded me of
Y/N...

Beautiful Y/N...

"Listen Jungkook," The nurse said, taking my hand. "I...I'm afraid that... That the surgery could not remove the cancer from your lungs... and... Im... I'm so sorry... But... But you only have a few hours left. I'm so sorry"

My breath tightened in my throat, not from the cancer, but from the shock.

Tears pricked my eyes and  I shook my head, begging for it not to be true...

All those promises I'd made... I would never be able to keep.

I wouldn't be able to be there for Y/N when things got hard, like I promised.

I wouldn't be able to watch over her any more, or love her any more, or take care of her any more...

I wouldn't be able to take hear out and see her glittering smile, or hear her call me "oppa" any more...

This couldn't be happening...

please god... let this all be a terrible nightmare...

But it wasn't a nightmare.

It was all too real...

The loud beeping of my heart monitor, the comforting words of the nurse, the soft feel of the crisp, white sheets on my skin, the taste of the painkillers on my tongue, the smell of disinfectant all around my room...

It was all too horribly real...

"Your friends are outside, Jungkook. Would you like to see them?" The nurse asked, interrupting my thoughts.

"Yes please, but please don't tell them... You must promise not to tell them! I just want to see Y/N smiling. I want to see her smile one last time..." I begged. "Because I don't want my last memory to be of her tears..."

"Ok." She said, smiling sadly, "I'll go and get them."

Y/N and Hoseok came in first, followed by the other 5 boys. Y/N sat in the chair beside me and took my hand whilst the others stood around.

"You scared me so much you idiot!" She sobbed. "I'm so glad Hobi was there to save you."

"Actually, Choi Minho called the ambulance." Hoseok said softly.

"Really?" I smiled weakly. "well... what do you know? My old schoolmate."

"School mate?" Yoongi chuckled. "Kook, he practically killed you."

"But he saved me too." I pointed out.

Well, he saved me as much as he could...

"Jungkook, are you okay now?" Tae asked, looking at me hopefully. "please say yes!"

"You sound like you want him to answer your marriage proposal!" Hobi chuckled.

"Yah - seriously!" Taehyung whined.

I looked around at them all, trying to hold back my tears. I was so lucky to have such a cheerful, kind, fun family.

"I'm fine!" I smiled, "Just a little sleepy. Just wait - in a few hours I'll be running  around and playing with you guys just like before! Don't worry about me."

They nodded and left me and Y/N alone together for a few minutes.

"Are you really okay oppa?" She asked.

"Of course I am, Silly." I said, wiping her tears from her cheeks. "Don't cry. In a few hours, the pain will go away and I won't be hurting any more. Then I can leave the hospital."

It wasn't a lie, but then it wasn't really a truth either...

"Really?" She asked, and I nodded. "Then can we go and get ice cream from the park like you promised! And go to that restaurant you always talked about after that!"

"I promise." I smiled, and took her hand, looking up and brushing a bit of her hair from her watery eyes. "But you have to make me a promise too."

"What?" She asked.

"Could you run back to our house, and open the drawer i never let you open, and get that little green box out and bring it to me?"

"You want me to go all the way home and back again?" she whined.

"Yes. Please?"

"Fine. If I go now, I'll be back in about an hour because the traffic is bad."

She was about to stand but I leant up and pressed my lips against hers, my tears finally escaping and streaming down my cheeks.

This would be the last time I ever got to feel her soft lips on mine. This was the last time I would ever touch her hand.

It was the last time i would be able to love her...

Slowly, she pulled away.

"Jungkookie? Why are you crying oppa?" She asked, wiping the tears off my face. "I will be back soon - I promise. See you in a bit."

She kissed my cheek and stood up. I watched her leave through the door, knowing that that would be the last time I would ever see her.

"Y/N?" I called out desperately, and she turned her head.

"Yeah Jungkookie?"

"Never... Never forget I love you with all my heart." I gulped.

She smiled. "I love you too kookie!"

Then she was gone...

Eternally.

"Nurse?" I asked, and the nurse came over to me. "Please could I have some paper and a pen?"
