nothing helped. jimin didn't want to eat, he didn't want to take his medicines. he wanted to escape. he wanted to see hoseok, he wanted to know why he didn't sneak into his ward to visit him for over a week. he has never done that before.

the little lady dressed in white brought him his little white pills, but he turned her away. she didn't force the poor boy to take his pills today. she locked him inside his ward but she could still hear the boy's heart wrenching sobs from the other side of the locked door.

jimin lay in bed alone, making a feeble wish in a faint voice. he looked up at the dark ceiling, replacing it with an image of a night sky filled with billions of stars in his imagination. he wished upon the brightest star he could imagine at that moment.

"please come back."

and the star listened.
