"i don't want these." jimin groans when the lady shoves the pills into his palms.

"you need these." she says sternly. she watches him intently as he takes the pills. the lady locks him in as usual, as jimin stares up at the ceiling with a smile on his face. he had been happier these past few days. maybe he was finally starting to get better.

maybe he was wrong. maybe insanity can be cured.

hoseok came to meet him again that night, his usual smile decorating his face. they cuddled and talked the night away, and before jimin knew it he was falling asleep with a gentle smile on his face. he looked up at hoseok through his eyelashes, and whispered his last words to hoseok.

"i love you."

and then he faded away.
