" So.... What now? "
Jimin asks, climbing back into the bed with me.
" I don't know... "
" How are you feeling sugar? "
" Pfft sugar ? "
Jimin laughed and said,
" Yah! It's cute! "
I smile and agree with him.. but the last thing I should do right now is smile..
" You didn't answer my question.. "
Jimin says, stroking my hair and looking deep into my eyes..
" You're staring through my soul Jimin.. " I say, expecting him to laugh and change the topic, but he doesn't.

" Stop avoiding my question Y/N.. " he says, continuing to stare deeply at me.
I sigh and say,
" Well... I... I'm- I feel like I'm the worst daughter ever. Not even noticing my mom starving while I enjoyed my life and acted like nothing ever happened.. And I left her when she needed me the most. "
" Would you mind telling me..? " He says, stroking my hair.
" Tell you what? "
" Telling me what you haven't .. "
I get what he meant and nod my head.

He is my boyfriend after all.. he deserves to know what has happened..

I tell him everything.. from my dad always abusing my mom for I don't know what reason, us leaving the house in Busan and Night, the evening where Mom and I fought that led to this whole charade and my thoughts about moving out too..

I felt ashamed telling him my pathetic life story.. after I was done, I thought he wouldn't want me anymore.. he would want a rich girlfriend who would lift his family business up and wallow in money 24/7..

I turned away so my back was facing him and hid my face in the pillow..
" Hey hey hey.. Y/N.. it's okay.. I don't think any different of you.. you don't have to feel ashamed.. you're still the same angel I fell in love with.. "
He hugged me from behind and I laid my head in his neck..
" I love you.. "
Those words hit me hard.. because nobody besides my mom had told me that before..
" I-i love you too.. "
He kisses my temple and says,
" Get some rest sugar.. you're exhausted.. "
I smile at the new nickname and nod as Jimin gets comfortable on the couch..
" Jimin? "
" Hmm? "
" Thank you... F-for everything.. "
" Anything for you babe.. "

I closed my eyes, trying to sleep, but it didn't work.. it was almost midnight and I was still awake..
" Can't sleep? "
I turn too see Jimin looking at me from the couch.. visiting hours are over but Jimin was exempted since his dad payed the doctors to allow him to stay here as long as he wants..
Jimin had texted the others and they will be coming to get me when I get discharged tomorrow..

I shake my head at him and say,
" No.. "
" Neither can I.. "
" Why can't you sleep ? "
" Well... I was wondering how a little girl could survive such a harsh life of abuse till now.. "
I sigh and say,
" You don't have to waste your sleep on me Jimin.. "
" Yes I do.. I love you Y/N.. and I'll waste anything for you.. "
" Aish you're so cheesy! "
Jimin laughs and climbs onto the bed with me..
" Well, I'm a cheesy guy. It comes with the package.. but just know this Y/N.. you're stronger than you know... "
I cuddle upto him and he starts humming a song..

Wow... I didn't know he could sing..

The sound of his angelic voice fills my ears and I relax instantly.. the way his voice rises and falls with each note seemed to hypnotize me and lose all my senses. I had forgotten everything that was happening and fell into the land of dreams.

~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~

I woke up to feeling of the sun warming up my skin. I squinted my eyes open and looked at the time..
9:13 a.m..
I turned to my side to see Jimin cuddled up beside me..
The way his eyelashes rested on his face and his cheeks were squished between the pillow made me wanna pinch them so bad.. and then my eyes landed on his lips..

Those damn lips.

" Stop drooling over me Y/N.. "
I smack him in embarrassment and hide my face in my hands.
He chuckles and says,
" You were drooling over me from the moment you saw me on Crystal.. "
I blush and say,
" Crystal? "
" Oh yea, she's the white arabian horse you saw me on.. "
" Ohhhh.. "
" Well, she was my first horse and always holds a special place in my heart.. I take care of her more than all the other horses.. " he says and chuckles..
" But I thought your horse was Firefly"
" Yes, but he's the horse my dad wants me ride to win races.. not that I have anything against firefly but.. he's just a good race horse that i have no amazing memories with.. "
" What do you mean by 'no amazing memories'? You won loads of races with that horse! "
" Yea and that's it.. Y/N, the first step to becoming a rider is bonding with your horse. You need to find a horse that's similar to you.. I'm pretty sure I saw you in Night when he first arrived.. "

I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.
" Why? "
" Well, let's just say he was extremely stubborn and wild.. "
I laughed and said,
" So I'm stubborn and wild? "
" Well... I know you're stubborn.. but I have to see for myself if you're wild. " He says with a smirk.
I smack him in the chest and say,
" Perv! "
He laughs and at that moment, the same doctor from yesterday opens the door.

Jimin gets off the bed and faces the same embarrassment as yesterday and the doctor clearly states this time.
" Mr. Park, the hospital bed is only meant for one person. I suggest you control yourself till Ms. Y/N is back home. "
Jimin looks at the floor and nods as his face turns red. I try to control my laugh as much as possible but I let a little out and Jimin looks up at me with narrowed eyes.
The doctor walks up to me and Jimin mouths the words.
'Just you wait.'

" Miss Y/N, from your stable vitals I can assure you that you are fine. You can be discharged today. "
Before he walks out, I say,
" C-can I see her? "
Knowing who I'm referring to, he looks at me with doubtful eyes..
" Please.. just this once.. "
" Ok.. I'll allow you only because she hasn't woken up yet.. "
I nod my head and get off my bed. The doctor hands me a carton of apple juice made by the hospital and says,
" This will give you energy.. it has added vitamins along with the apple.."
I accept the drink and bow to him.
" Thank you so much. "

He nods and motions for us to follow him.
Jimin intertwines his fingers with mine and I let out a small smile. He gives me another kiss to my temple and says,
" Don't worry babe.. everything's fine.."

Jimin's been really sweet this whole time.. he's been my pillar of support during this tough time and I have to make it up to him somehow..

" Here we are. Please try not to make any noise. "
I turn to Jimin and say,
" Could you wait outside? "
" Of course. "
I slowly open the door and my heart shatters at the sight in front of me..
Eomma was connected to drips and had an oxygen mask on her..
My eyes move up and down her frail, thin body and tears begin to fall as I cover my hand over my mouth to prevent any sound from waking her up..

This is all my fault.. I'm so sorry Eomma.. please forgive me.. I always thought that if you ever die before your time, it would be because of dad.. but this time it was because of me...

I held her hand and let silent tears fall.. I gently placed a kiss on her forehead and cheek..
" Saranghae 💖 "

A/N : 😳💖 Finally an anti-climax ending for  ya'll 😂
