Inhye's P.O.V

Inhye: I don't wanna eat.

I said as Jimin is insisting for me to eat since I haven't ate anything yet.

Jimin: You will get sick.

Inhye: I would love that.

Jimin sigh and put back the food on the mini table. His hand went into my hair, caressing it to console me.

Jimin: Yah, I would hate that. I'm still here and I will never gonna leave you again.

I sigh again, but then I heard a phone ringing. Jimin look behind him where the phone is and handed it to me.

Jimin: Your mom is calling.

I sat up carefully on the bed and accept the phone call from mom. I heard her crying once I answer the phone call making me widden my eyes. Even though I'm so cold and rude to them, I still love them.

Inhye: What is it mom? Why are you crying?

I ask in a cold tone since I'm still not used to not be cold. I grew up by myself being independent and cold to people since I'm having trust issues.

📱: Your dad died, Inhye! He died from his cancer just today...

Inhye: What?

📱: He died because of his cancer, his body is so weak and couldn't fight through his disease anymore.

The phone that was on my hand near my ear dropped on my gripped same as my tears making Jimin shook. Jimin took the phone on the bed and decided to answer for me.

Jimin: Hello? Inhye's Mom?

📱: Who is this?

Jimin: It's Jimin, her childhood bestfriend. I will explain later how we met up again but may I know what happened?

📱: Okay, explain that to me if you have time. Inhye's father died just today because of his disease....

Jimin got also shook as his eye became widden, he can't believe everything that he heard.

Jimin: Condolence to the both of you Ma'am. I got to go now, I have to handle a important business.

📱: Ne, thank you for the time.

Jimin: Sorry for your loss, Inhye.

He pulled me to his arms and hug me carefully, making sure he does not touch my injuries.

Inhye: My dad died Jimin.. Why him out of all people?

I cried more in pain and still couldn't believe the fact that he left me.

Inhye: Appa..

Jimin: Shh, he is already in a good place now. He wouldn't suffer anymore..

He console to calm me down who is crying hard.

Jimin: Inhye! Calm down! You can't cry hard! Your stomach is not yet cured!

He scolded as I was crying hard that I'm already sobbing at this point.

Inhye: Even though they are so cold and sometimes abuse me before, I still love them.

Jimin: Inhye, you should not be cold to them too you know why?

He pulled away from the hug to make an eye contact with my red and puffy eyes.

Inhye: Why?

I ask still sobbing.

Jimin: Because they are the reason why you became strong, because of them being cold and it hurts you, you learned to be brave. When they abuse you before, you learned how to fight right? Because you don't want to make yourself look like loser.

Inhye: What does that mean?

Jimin: You don't wanna be treated like a punching bag, right? That's why you learned how to fight so you could defend your own self. Some people are always cold to you right? That's why you also became one of them too.
Because of your parents, you learned how to fight, be strong, and not trust people easily but the problem is, you went over the line.

Inhye: No I'm not!

Jimin: Yes you are, look at your state right now. You are still laying on the bed because you are shot by a gangster. You are a gangster boss today and you are so cold to everyone, even to nice people.

Inhye: I just don't wanna trust easily.

We got into a pure silence after what I said, Jimin sigh and stand up.

Jimin: You need to make sure your injuries are already recovered before you visit your parents.

He ruffle her hair giving her a smile to comfort her.

Jimin: I will give you some time alone since I know you need that.

Then he left the room, I lay back on my bed carefully as my injury hurts.. I face the ceilings as I let out tears.

Inhye: Why do you have to die at a wrong time, Dad? I know that we haven't been together for a while as a family but I still love you and I can't already let you know about it.

***

Jimin: are you sure about this Inhye? You are still not fully recovered.

Inhye: I wanna visit my dad and see him.

We got inside the car as Jimin started driving going to the hospital where I last saw him.

Jimin: here we are..

He said after a few minutes and stopped the car, I look out and saw the hospital.

Jimin: are you really sure about this?

Inhye: It's my Appa we are talking about and I have to see him.

Jimin just nodded since he have to agree, wearing his mask and cap because he is an idol. We go outside the car and entered inside the hospital. I walk towards where my mom told me where the room is so we go there.

Jimin: Don't cry too much, arasso? Your stomach will get hurt if you cry too much.

We stopped walking, looking into each other's face as I caress his left shoulder.

Inhye: Gwaenchana, I just have to see him for one last time before they bury him.

I sigh before coming inside the room, only to see a doctor and a nurse there. Also my mom who's eyes is very red and puffy because of crying.

Mom: Inhye! I'm very sorry about the past! We didn't meant to hurt your feelings-

Inhye: No, Mom. Thank you.

Mom: Why?

She asks curiously as she is still sobbing.

Inhye: Jimin made me realize everything, Mom. You two are the reason why I decided to learn how to rise again and to defend for myself. I know that you two became like that to me a few years ago but past is past, can we just forget that and start over? I'm sorry mom.

I hugged my mom tight and started crying.

Mom: Thank you for everything, Inhye.

We back away from the hug as I look at the hospital bed with my dad covered in a white cloth.

Inhye: How did this happened?

I asks just looking at the hospital bed.

Mom: He gave up himself...

I open the cloth slowly to look at my dad's face making me cry again, not accepting the fact that he is already gone.

Inhye: Appa! Forgive me for being a mistake! Anger makes me do that! Mianhae!

I shouted as I cried.

Jimin: Inhye, Calm down.

Jimin hugged me to console me as I just look at my dad's dead condition.

Inhye: I didn't even talked to him because of my own stupidness I did not had a chance to talk to him and say to him that I love him!

Jimin: Inhye! Please calm down! Mrs. Bae, we have to go. We will just go to his funeral. I'm sorry about this, sorry for your loss.

Mom: Thank you, Jimin. Take good care of my daughter for me okay?

Jimin nodded and slowly bring me out of the hospital. We got into the garden as tears are still falling from my eyes a little.

Jimin: I will go get you some water inside, they have a canteen there. Don't go anywhere, arasso?

I nodded as an answer then he go back inside to get some water. I sat on a bench and close my eyes.

Inhye: I will miss you, Appa.

I wiped the tears and I suddenly felt something poked on my shoulders. I look at my side and it was an airplane paper. I picked it up and unfold it, only to see a one picture of mine full of blood and there is a letter.

You will regret for not letting Jimin capture you! I will not let you live in peace because of what you did. Prepare yourself for this, Bae Inhye.

-You don't know me but some of your friends know me so well.

What the actual fuck? Who did this?
