hoseok had to be sent to the hospital again. his legs were swelling up and it was getting harder to breathe. hoseok started getting scared for his life, he always told himself that he was going to die but his mother didn't allow him to say that. his mother kept saying that he was going to survive and live the rest of his life but hoseok had a hard time believing her. hoseok was sent to the 'er' once again that year. the visit to the hospital was getting more recent.

"you'll make it out, hosoekie," the mother gently rubbed hoseok's forehead as hoseok slept on his hospital bed. he was taken out of the er and the doctor told the mother the bad news. the mother cried on hoseok's bed side. she cried out loud and prayed that she gets to see her son a little longer. she didn't want to lose her son, not right after adopting him. not after finally getting attached to the boy. she grew to love her job as a foster mother due to being around hoseok so much. she grew to love life after deciding to foster hoseok.

"please, please, please," the mother prayed harder and harder. her hair was getting messier. her light makeup was losing its worth. the mother held her son's hand as she waited for her life to end. for her world to leave to a peaceful place.

the doctor came inside the room.

"i need you to leave for awhile, miss. something just came up."

the mother left the room in a rush while more nurses entered the room. one nurse closed the door and the mother didn't know what was happening. did her son stop breathing? and she didn't notice? she didn't know but all she knew was that it was urgent that the doctor had to make her leave immediately.

it hurts to lose a son. a child.

fifty hours later and the mother was on her bed. waiting for the next day to bring her son back home. the doctors told her that she could maybe bring hoseok back home if he didn't get worse. the mother had eyes of sadness. she knew that taehyung was at class so she couldn't talk to him. she was alone like she was before years ago. she laid on her bed while she starred at the wall. a tear rolled down her face but her face didn't have emotion.

the mother got a phone call, it was the hospital.

"miss, you might want to get here as quick as possible," the lady from across the phone said calmly but with sadness. without hesitation, the mother grabbed her keys and wallet and headed to taehyung's school. the mother went to pick up taehyung from his school just in case anything bad happened.

taehyung rushed out of his classroom and went inside the car so they could get in the hospital much faster. the mother couldn't think anymore. her mind was so blank.

taehyung knew that something bad happened so he rushed out of his classroom. he grabbed his backpack and quickly ran out the door. there were some students that were asking him what happened but taehyung ignored them. taehyung felt like crying as he entered the car. his mother quickly explained to him the call that she received.

taehyung looked out the window with grief. taehyung held his phone on his hand, ready to call yoongi if he needed to. although he didn't want to, taehyung knew that yoongi wanted to be there in hoseok's last moments.

the hospital came into taehyung's view, a building taehyung wished to never see again. but there it was, holding hoseok hostage.

the car was parked, the mother and taehyung hopped out the car and ran inside. the mother memorized hoseok's room number and ran to the elevator to get there quicker. the ding was heard and they both quickly walked to the room that held the dying boy. taehyung felt his heart starting to beat faster as he imagined hoseok's eye lids white and his lips loosing it's peachy pink color. taehyung whined in sorrow as they both reached the door. the mother knocked and someone called from inside, "come in."

the mother slowly opened the door and the doctor was there. he didn't have a smile. hoseok was lying on his bed, his eyes were closed. the heart monitor was working and a nurse was checking up on him. the mother looked at the doctor, "what happened?"

"mrs rhee, i am sorry to say this but..." the doctor looked at the sleeping boy. he looked away and pointed at the heart monitor. "see this? if the heart beat keeps at this rate...he won't survive."

the sound of a crack was heard in the mother's ears. her heart had just broke, the split was in the middle of her heart. oh how much she wanted to trade her heart for the boy's. she didn't care if she had to die, at least hoseok can live his life.

"hoseok doesn't have much time left. i'm really sorry this is happening, mrs rhee. we tried everything we could to keep him alive much longer but he just couldn't handle it. i'll leave you alone with him," the doctor bowed to the mother. the mother was just stood there, emotionless. time was so slow to her.

taehyung stepped out of the room to collect his breath. he couldn't believe this at all. slowly, he took his phone out to dial a number he hasn't in a long time.

the ringing killed him so much but soon the other boy picked up.
