"Wait for the person who will do anything to be your everything, "











IT WAS A COLD EVENING when I found myself underneath the blanket, shivering to death. Fever. That was what I had to bear at this moment, forced to take a few days off as Taehyung didn't want my fever to get any worse if I go to work.

It sucked feeling like this. My body felt so weak and I can barely feel my feet. Sniffling, I tried to reach the tissue paper that Taehyung had place right beside my bed.

The body stretch I did when I was trying to reach the tissue was hurting me. Yet, I couldn't just let the flu roll down my face. It's disgusting.

"Wanna grab the tissue? Let me help you, " a deep husky voice filled the silent room, making me to look at him. It was Taehyung who just came back from work, still wearing his suit.

I stared at him. "What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be at Busan now? For meeting with the clients? " I asked in curiosity. He can't be here.

After hearing my words, he did nothing but just smiled nicely. "I cancelled it, " he answered simply, then his hands slowly reaching the box of tissue as he handed it to me. I looked down at it and raised an eyebrow.

"Why? " I asked. He chuckled, "You love asking too much questions, don't you? "

"Well, it's called priority. "

























He came back to my room with a cup of tea in his hands. Gently, he placed it on the desk then sat on my bed just to look at me in the eyes. Then, a small smile crept on his face.

I scoffed. "I can't believe you cancelled the meeting just to take care of me. I mean— I can take care of myself. Why should you worry anyway? I'm not a kid. "

He shrugged, then crossed his legs. "It's just, I want to spend some time with you. Besides, you're still sick. What if something bad happens to you and I'm not around? " he asked.

He always cares about me. Always.

"You're such a sweet talker guy. Tell me, how many girls had hear this from you? Did they fall for you afterwards? " I laughed while covering my mouth since it was quite pale and not attractive at all.

He frowned at me, "I don't need to say those sweet words to make them fall for me. All it needs is just my presence, " he stated, sounding a bit cocky.

"That's gross. " I scoffed then turned away.

"Don't deny the truth, sweetie. " he playfully tickled my under chin, making me to let out some small giggles. "Hey, don't do that. I'm getting out of breath. " I slightly pushed his hand away.

We laughed for a pretty minute before it went silenced between both of us for awhile. Then, he cleared his throat and looked back at her in the eyes, locking their looks. "Eunna, " he spoke.

I hummed, still looking into his shining eyes. "What is it, Tae? " I asked him.

"There's someone who wants to meet you. But he's afraid you might scold him. " his voice was low but he kept the serious look on his face. I furrowed my brows then looked around. "Who is it? "

"You'll know it when he's here, "




























"I'll leave both of you here to give you some space. Call me if you need anything, " Taehyung said to me then leave the room as soon as the person stepped in.

My gaze met his and I can say he was afraid that I might ask him to go back or refused to meet him again after what he did. The face that used to be decorated with gummy smile was now flat and serious. His head was low and eyes were looking at me with full of guilt.

"Yoongi, " I said his name to make he looked up at me. He gulped, clasping his hands together as his teeth were biting his bottom lip. He once again made an eye contact with me as he waited for me to say something. But I didn't. Because I wanted to hear what he was going to tell me.

He didn't get what I was trying to do at first. But since I didn't let out any words, he decided to speak. "I'm sorry, " it was the first thing he told me after not seeing me for almost three months. That was a long period for me.

Didn't want to go too easy for him, I crossed my arms to show him that I was mad. I wasn't mad because he gave me to Taehyung when I suddenly collapsed last time. But because he left me for months without telling a thing to me. And now, he suddenly showed up in front of me.

I gritted my teeth. "Where were you for the past three months? Why are you suddenly here? To see if I'm still alive, hm? " I asked with a bit sarcasm in my tone.

He stopped. "Eunna, it's not like what you think. It's—"

"No, Yoongi. " I stopped him from continuing his words. I broke the eye contact between us then tried to get off from the bed. "Eunna, don't move. You're still sick. " he went to me then held my arm carefully, making sure I won't fall.

Then, I tended to smile after looking at his reaction. "You still care about me, don't you?" I laughed.

"Of course I do. You're my friend, " he stated then helped me to walk to the small table in my room.

Then, I asked him to sit with me. "So, tell me where had you been all this time? I missed you, you know? " I asked, eyes were landed on him.

"You don't want to know— why I— gave you to Taehyung? Aren't you supposed to be mad now? " he hesitantly asked. I didn't respond.

"Who said I'm not mad? I'm still mad. Can't you see my angry face? " I raised an eyebrow.

"But I'm not going to ask what was the reason that made you to hand me to Taehyung. What I want to know is, where had you been? Why'd you leave me? You said we're friends, "

"I— actually, it's—" he looked at me. Then, he sighed heavily.




























We looked at each other as he clenched his jaw, totally didn't know how to explain everything to me.

"I had to disappear because my sister needed me. Her boyfriend cheated on her and she had a bad mental breakdown. So I had to be by her side to cheer her up. " he looked down at his lap.

"But you were gone for almost three months. Was the healing process is really that long? " I wasn't satisfied enough with his reason. I believed him but the excuse was too weak.

"It took 1 month for her to move on from her ex. But then, something bad happened."

"What was it? "

"My mom passed away. "

My eyes widened in shocked, extremely surprised when the words were out from his mouth. I couldn't say a word at the moment and it took me a few minutes to process everything he had say. "I— I'm sorry for your loss, Yoongi. I didn't know and— why didn't you tell me? " I asked.

"I'm your friend and I was supposed to be there with you. You lost your mom and you were sad but I wasn't there for you. Then what's the use of having me as a friend? Why you didn't tell me? " I didn't mean to blame him but I was still in shocked.

"I wanted to tell you. But I was afraid that you refused to meet me after what I had done to you. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to betray you. It's just— I was desperate. For money. " he didn't look at me when he said the last sentence. He was embarrassed.

"Money? What do you mean, Yoongi? " I asked.

"My mom was suffering from brain cancer. And she needed to a therapy but it costs a lot of money. I can't afford it but then Taehyung offered to help me. But I had to do him a favor. "

"Which was bringing you to him. " his voice cracked. He really wanted to burst into tears but he held himself back. "I didn't agree at first. But I know Taehyung very well. I have been working with him for so long. And I know he won't harm you. So I agreed. " he explained.

"I'm so sorry for being selfish. What I was thinking that time was money because I had to pay for my mom's therapy. "

"But seems like I had no luck. My mom passed away while doing the treatment. Maybe because it was my fault. I betrayed you. And it was the return of my fault. I'm sorry. I'm truly sorry, " he started to sob. It breaks my heart seeing my friend in this condition. He was desperate and it wasn't his fault. All he wanted was to save his mom.

I heaved a sigh. "Hey, I have never blame you, though. I'm not mad at all. And your mom's death wasn't your fault. It's what we call fate. It was written and we can't change it. You're not the engender of her death. It was her fate to die that day. At least you had tried your best to save her. " I rubbed the top of his hands gently.

His hands were so cold. "And I'm not mad at you for betraying me. You didn't betray me actually. I'm happy living with Taehyung. He takes care of me very well. We have become a great friend. Thanks to you, " I smiled to lighten up his mood.

Finally, after awhile, I saw he smiled. I missed his gummy smile so much. "I'm glad that you're happy. I'm truly happy. " he grinned.

Now, both of Eunna and Yoongi were at the small garden in Taehyung's house. Taehyung was out as he said he had something to handle and he wanted to give both of them some time to make everything clear.

They were sitting on the same bench, looking at the fishes that were swimming happily in the small pool. The colour of the tilapia fishes were extremely beautiful and awesome.

Eunna adored them so much.

"So how's things going between you and Taehyung? Fine? " Yoongi asked while kicking the dirt with his white shoes. Eunna shrugged, "Time pass so fast between me and Taehyung. Unexpectedly, we're more than fine. We're good, awesome And—" she suddenly stopped her sentence, feeling like discontinuing her words. Something was bothering her mind.

"Why'd you stop? Is something bothering you?" Yoongi asked as if he could read her mind. It was normal for her. Yoongi has the ability to read her. He would always know if she has a problem even if she doesn't tell him.

She smiled. "Nothing, " she shook her head. "It's just that, " she stopped again. Before continuing her sentence, she took a deep breath. "I've start feeling something. "

Yoongi heard it but he didn't get what was it supposed to mean. "Something? Like what?" he looked at her confusedly.

"I don't know how should I say it but— I'm feeling something. A good one. A feeling that I couldn't describe. It's making me insane every single day. It would come and hunt me everytime I'm with the person. It's— very lunatic. " Eunna tried to capture how she felt at the moment.

It was something unfamiliar yet so good and indescribable. It left her speechless. "What are you feeling? It's making me curious and I'm kind of worried about you now. You sound different while describing the feelings. " Yoongi raised his brows.

"Yoongi, " Eunna held his hands as he looked at her with big eyes.

Without any doubts, she confidently stated.







"I think I'm in love with Taehyung. "
























Jungkook

Lavender, pink, dark pink, light pink and purple. I pointed to those lavender and roses as the salesgirl placed them into a bouquet.

"Is this enough? " the girl asked me, making me nodded. Then, she leaded me to the counter.

"$45 " the girl told the price to me. I took my wallet out from my pocket then gave the money to her. "It's alright, just keep the change." I told her then walked out from the shop, walking straight to my car.
























My feet stepped onto the ground, my head was looking around the cemetery. I hadn't visit this place for a long time.

Gently, I closed my car door and made my way into the graves area, eyes were wild searching for the only one I wanted to visit.

It didn't take me so long to find the grave. It was placed right beside a cherry tree so it was easy for me to find it.

I clenched my jaw then placed the bouquet I bought on her grave.

Cho Areum

I read the name that was written on the stone. Her name used to be significant for the three of us; me, Taehyung and Jimin. But now, she's dead and her name isn't as loud as it used to be.

As if she never existed in this world. I smirked.

"Back then, you hurt Taehyung. You made he cried. You were the reason of his heart broken. " I said, as if I was talking to her. The image of how depressed and sad Taehyung was, still lingering in my mind. He was terrible, pathetic and weak.

It broke my heart seeing him in that condition. He didn't deserve to feel like that. What he wanted was to be loved by Areum. But she disappoints him.

But now, he found another girl that has a high probability to break him again. I don't even know why he needs to choose the girl. Is he trying to replace Areum?

I looked at the grave with no emotions in my eyes. "I'll never let any girls to break his heart every again. "

"You, Cho Areum, will be the first and the last girl who have break his heart. It won't happen again. I'll make it sure. " I scoffed.

Looking up at the sky, I mumbled. "Jae Eunna."
