Younghee's POV

- 1 month later -

It's been a month now. Things are the same. Yeah same, the people in the school still viewed me as a bitch who broke their prince, Taehyung's heart.

I've been receiving lots of letters in my locker telling me to die, to disappear, to vanish and I was like 'don't worry, i'm going soon anyways.'

I walked to measure my weight and saw that I lost 15 kilos for god's sake. Unexplained weight loss is also a fucking part of this.

I sighed, taking medicines that I've been given to. Now these are the last ones, I'm really going to do the operation . . . or not?

I kept my medicines' package instantly when I heard someone entering my room. It must be Jimin again.

"Good morning!" He walked towards me, smiling and I smiled back. "Let's go to school," He wrapped his arm around my shoulders.

"Arrasso, kajja." I swung my backpack to my shoulder and walked outside the room with him. I took a quick glance at Taehyung's room just to see if he woke up yet.

The lights from his room are turned on so I guess he's up.

Taehyung, I hate myself for thinking of you again when I know I shouldn't.

"Let's go, we're going to be late." Jimin broke my thoughts while intertwining our fingers together. Yes, we've become this close but not as lovers.

He's been the same − visiting me, playing with me, protecting me, taking care of me, buying me foods and loving me.

While walking to the bus stop, I looked at his face a little and thought about his confession he told me a few weeks ago.

"i love you, younghee."

"i know that you still have feelings for taehyung, but just let me stay here by your side and protect you."

"Younghee? The bus has arrived," I snapped back to see Jimin using his palm to wave in front of my face.

"Actually," I gripped his hand tighter which stopped him from entering the bus. "Let's ditch class today?" I asked shyly and he looked at me in surprised.

"Jinjja? The class president is asking the school's ultimate troublemaker to ditch class?" He asked and I smiled.

"Come on, I want to spend some time with you today." I told him, lifting my finger up to poke his cheek many times.

"Your wish is my command," He bowed and we both laughed.

If this means to be my last day, I won't regret it since I'm spending it with you.

We both started walking forward when we were stopped by Taehyung standing in front of us.

He looked extremely pale, he also became skinner and his eyebags are so noticeable. His eyes are red and swollen.

He looked so fragile that I just wanted to run to him and hug him telling him that he's going to be okay.

"Come on, Taehyung. There are only a few minutes left." I saw Jisoo running to Taehyung but she slowed down her pace when she spotted us.

I gripped Jimin's hand tighter, walking pass them feeling bitter doing so. I really want Taehyung back . . .

"Are you sure you're okay?" Jimin stopped in front of a shop, cupping my cheeks with his warm palms.

I tried to swallow back my tears so that he wouldn't notice them. "Omo, you're supposed to get fatter but why did it feel like I'm touching a skeleton?" He exclaimed in surprised and I smiled, putting my palms on his palms.

"And plus, why are you so cold?" He asked me and I remained silent. He glanced at the shop's window and saw something that caught his eyes.

"Come here come here," He led me inside the shop and I just followed him. He then picked a red beanie up and put it on my hat. "Woah, this looks good on you eh?" He observed my face, tucking strands of my hair behind my ears.

"Your hair is longer now too," He caressed my hair and I smiled. He looked at me without blinking and my smile faded.

"What? Is there something on my face?" I asked and he got embarrassed, shaking his head.

"Let's buy this," He took me to the cashier counter and paid for the beanie.

"Now what should we do next?" I asked him, walking outside the shop. He looked at me in a serious mode and I furrowed my eyebrows together.

"Let's be couples for today." He held my hand once again and we both started walking forward. We went to arcades, karaokes, movies and many more.

Without realizing it, it's already evening and we ran out of place to go.

"Jimin, where should we go next?" I asked him, walking on the sidewalk and holding hands.

"Let's go to Han River! There will be fireworks display in a few minutes," He said excitedly, jumping around like a kid. "Hanabi hanabi hanabi," He said fireworks in Japanese while walking to Han River.

han river, fireworks, taehyung.

I tried to force my smile as much as possible, so that Jimin wouldn't feel awkward. Finally, we arrived and there were lots of couples standing there waiting for the fireworks.

He made our way to the front and then gripped my hand tighter. "It's starting soon, baby." He whispered to my ear, blushing.

wait, i'm supposed to be the one who blushed.

"3," He said

"2," I said.

"1." We both said equally and the fireworks started to display. I've always loved looking at fireworks; they're really beautiful.

"Jimin, that one is beautiful!" I pointed at the purple one but I got no response back. I decided to turn my head a little to only see him looking at me, giving me a small smile.

"You're more beautiful," He released his grip and repositioned my beanie. He tugged a few strands of hair behind my ears then he soothed my cheeks with his thumbs.

"Mianhae, Lydia. I'm going to be Edgar for today, then I'll be back to be Raven once again." He apologized and soon, his face came closer to mine and stopped for a second.

He was looking at my lips and I looked at his face − eyes flitting down slowly, sharp jawline, sharp nose and his pinkish lips.

It wasn't long before he attacked my lips with his. He made me feel warmer, he made me feel secure, he made me feel safe and he made me feel loved.

but this just doesn't feel right . . . why am i reminiscing my times with taehyung, why am i hoping that this would be taehyung, why do i wish that i would stay by taehyung's side?

He broke the kiss and looked at me. "I won't do this without your permission again, I promise." He whispered and I smiled.

"It's okay, Jimin. Let's go back before it gets too crowded." I suggested and he nodded, holding my hand while walking forward.

We have successfully made our way from the crowds to the other side. "This sure is tough," I panted, closing my eyes.

But the moment I opened them back, I saw Taehyung standing there far away from the crowd alone while watching the fireworks.

He supported himself by resting his arms on the bridge's holders, looking at the sky with an extremely sad expression. I saw tears rolled down on his cheeks and my heart just felt like it has been ripped apart.

"What are you standing there for?" Jimin made me come back to my sense and I shook my head. Maybe he could not see Taehyung standing there alone.

Just why? Taehyung, why?

Jimin took me back home and he wouldn't go until he saw me going inside the room. I just laid down on my bed, crying and missing him. I took our photo in the frame that's placed beside my bed and hugged it to my chest.

I miss you so much. I miss us.

•••

I woke up and saw myself still laying on my own bed, hugging the photo. I yawned, rubbing my eyes and went to take a shower. I fell on the ground lots of times, but I managed to stand up again.

After I've done with everything, I sat back down on my bed because it's weekend. I have no school.

But the operation . . .

I sighed, when suddenly I heard the bell rang. I hopped off from my bed and went to my door's direction.

Jimin? But I did tell him not to come over this week since I don't want him to know that I'll be in the hospital.

I quickly opened the door. It wasn't Jimin.

It was my uncle.
