It was spring. A cherry blossom tree swayed gently in the spring breeze outside the classroom as Jin was listening to his professor say something about the new transfer student from another department, who stood shyly beside him.

The boy had a serene, almost feline face, with sharp cat eyes, squishy cheeks and plump lips that made him look both delicate and endearing.

Jin found himself drawn to the boy, so much so that he didn't even notice the boy started walking towards him with a shy smile.

The boy stood in front of him, saying something softly but Jin was too captivated by his pretty and tiny appearance to register the words.

After a moment, the boy glanced at the empty seat next to Jin, then back at Jin, before quietly sitting down. He waved a hand in front of his face, snapping him out of his daze.

Jin blinked, coming back to his senses. He turned to see the boy now sitting beside him, his head tilted slightly as he smiled, his cheeks coloured a light tinted pink.

The boy’s smile was gentle as he said, "Hello. Do you mind if I sit here?"

"Oh," Jin said, shaking his head quickly as he processed the question. "No, it's alright. You can sit here."

He shifted a bit to his left, making more space for the boy, who settled more into the seat with a small smile. "Thank you," he said, still looking a bit shy.

He then asked, "May I know your name?"

"Oh, It's Kim Seokjin." Jin said, smiling.

The boy's smile widened as he replied, "Well, I'm Min Yoongi. It's nice to meet you."

Min Yoongi.

Min Yoongi.

Min Yoongi.

My Yoongi.

My Yoongi.

My dear Yoon-

"Hyung? Are you okay?"

Jin woke up, feeling someone gently patting his cheeks. His eyes snapped open and he glanced around, only to realize he was in the hospital room.

There, on the bed, looking at him with confusion, was Yoongi.

Jin finally realized as he remembered that the earlier scene was just a memory from their past when he first met Yoongi at the age of 18, which now replayed in his dream.

Pushing it aside, he smiled at him. "It's nothing," he said softly. "Did you sleep well?"

Yoongi nodded as he then asked with concern, "Well, what about you?"

Jin nodded. "Of course?" he replied as he saw the younger's worried expression.

Yoongi shook his head. "I was just... worried," he admitted. "You kept saying my name repeatedly in your sleep..."

"Oh," Jin said as he then chuckled softly. "That's just because I love my baby Yoongi even in my sleep," he teased.

Yoongi's cheeks turned pink as he sighed softly, shaking his head. "You're unbelievable," he muttered.

The door then swung open and in walked Dr. Namjoon and Dr. Taehyung, their expressions calm and smiles warm.

Yoongi and Jin greeted them, returning their smiles as they entered the room.

"Good morning," Namjoon said, his gaze then landing on Yoongi. "Did you sleep well?"

Yoongi nodded. "Yes, thank you," he replied softly.

With the greetings exchanged, the conversation shifted to the day's agenda. Both the doctors began discussing the tests and treatments planned while Jin and Yoongi listened intently to the doctors' explanations.

Namjoon informe them about the various tests scheduled for the day, including blood work, imaging scans and a consultation with his oncology team to discuss treatment options.

Taehyung joined in, adding more suggestions based on it.

As the day continued, Yoongi prepared for the series of tests and treatments while Jin stood by his side, offering support.

Despite his attempts to remain calm, Yoongi couldn't shake the feeling of unease and nervousness.

The first test was a blood draw, a routine procedure but one that always made him uneasy.

He clenched his fists as the nurse approached with the needle, trying to distract himself by focusing on Jin who was beside him.

Jin noticed his fear and reached out, gently squeezing his hand. "You're doing great, Yoongi," he murmured softly.

With that, Yoongi took a deep breath and forced himself to relax as the nurse drew the blood. Though it stung quite a lot, he managed to be calm, his gaze fixed on Jin's eyes. Once it was over, he let out a sigh of relief.

However, the next test was far more daunting than that – an imaging scan that needed Yoongi to lie still inside a claustrophobic machine.

As he went into the scanning room, Jin waited anxiously outside, his heart pounding with worry. He knew how much Yoongi disliked everything and the thought of him enduring it all alone made him more concerned.

Minutes felt like hours as he waited, his mind racing. Finally, the door opened and Yoongi came out.

Jin rushed to him with concern. "Are you okay?" he asked softly.

Yoongi nodded, though his face betrayed his discomfort. "It was... challenging," he admitted, feeling exhausted. "But I managed..."

Jin offered a sympathetic smile, his heart aching. "You're incredibly brave, Yoongi," he said softly.

As the day went on, Yoongi underwent some painful treatments. Jin remained by his side everytime, offering comfort and encouragement. Despite the pain and discomfort, Yoongi tried doing his best, atleast for Jin.

In the days that followed next, his treatment intensified more.

One particularly difficult treatment involved a series of injections directly into his abdomen to target the cancer cells. As he braced himself for the procedure, Jin stood beside him, gripping his hand tightly as he whispered encouraging words.

The first injection sent a sharp jolt of pain through Yoongi's body, causing him to flinch, grit his teeth and squeeze his eyes shut in pain.

"It's okay, Yoongi. You're doing great," Jin murmured soothingly.

Yoongi forced himself to endure each needle and with every painful moment, Jin stood by his side, being his pillar of strength.

As the days turned into weeks, Yoongi faced more treatments with more challenges and discomforts. Yet through it all, Jin remained his rock, offering him the strength he needed.

Though there were moments when Yoongi felt like giving up, Jin was always there to lift him up, reminding him of the hope and courage he needed to have.

And many nights, Yoongi found himself battling sleeplessness and stomachaches. As he tossed and turned in bed with discomfort, Jin remained by his side all the time, taking care of him.

Night after night, he stayed awake with Yoongi. He would hold his hand through the long hours, offering words of encouragement saying everything will be alright soon.

Despite his own exhaustion, he always refused to leave Yoongi's side. There were days when he was needed by his movie casts and some award shows where he won many awards for his latest debut in his movie 'Thought We Built A Dynasty'.

But, he refused going anywhere as he remained by his lover's side, being his only courage and support.

And even with all of this efforts and painful journey, the universe had turned its back on them.

After four months, despite pouring every ounce of love and strength into the fight against cancer,

...their efforts seemed futile as Yoongi's body weakened and he lay numb on his deathbed... going to take his last breath in a few more minutes..
