The drive home was silent none of you dared to speak. You knew that if you tried then tears would definitely fall. So you sat in the passenger seat staring out at the window.

Your head was filled with the image of the poorly thinned Jungkook. You still couldn't believe he allowed himself to go into that type of state.

Apparently, you were the first to see Jungkook before he locked himself in his old room. Everyone was worried about him but they don't know how to help him.

Which was part of the reason why your mother wanted you back home. Knowing that you two have been close ever since a very young age she thought you would know what to do. But for the first time in years, you felt like you couldn't do a thing for him. The news about him only living for two months hit you like a ton of bricks.

How could this happen? You thought as you tighten your fist. Jimin notices but doesn't say anything. He was battling with his own emotions and he still doesn't know how to cope with one of his best friends slowly dying right before him.

You both made it to your parents' house and before the car could completely stop you jump out of the car. You walk into the house and made your way for your old room seeking refuge. You close the door and fell face first on your bed. Moments later a soft knock came at your door.

"Jisun, can I come in?" Someone asks softly. You sat up with a sigh. "Yeah." The door slowly opens and Jimin enters. You sat up and stare at him. He looks around your old room before finally looking at you.

"I'm guessing this was something you weren't expecting to hear." He says and sat down next to you. "Obviously." You mumble. None of you spoke while you both thought about your dear friend. You couldn't bear to see him in that kind of state. Not a second more.

"He's battling all of this alone. If I was him I would hate to be alone knowing that I only have a short time left to live." You murmur.

"Then spend time with him." Jimin pipes up suddenly. "Like you said, you would hate to be alone if you were in his place. I'm sure he feels the same but you know how stubborn he gets when people worry about him."

You took Jimin's idea into consideration. Maybe Jungkook really did feel lonely in his room even though he told you to go. You do want to spend every last second with him and maybe he felt the same too.

"For once in your life your idea is splendid." You smile in hope. He smiles along despite the fact you insulted him.

"Tomorrow." You declare. "I'll go see him and tell him." Jimin gives you a thumbs up. "Sounds like a plan."

\/\/\/\/\/

The next day you woke up bright and early feeling a little giddy about your plan today. You decide to take him out in the city and shop. He loved to shop more than you after all.

Jimin was all in for it to join you but he had work and so did the rest of your friends. "I'm sorry, Jisun I wish we can come along too but we really need to work or we might get fired." Jimin states.

"Yeah," Hoseok chimes in. "We already missed a week of work already. Another day then we'll be toast." He says with a shiver.

You smile in understanding, "No it's fine. I don't want you guys to be out of a job because of me. Go and work, I'll take care of Jungkook."

They all nod and head for Jin's van. Jimin gives you a pat on the shoulder before leaving too. You watch them enter the van and saw the front passenger window roll down.

"Good luck, Jisun! You're gonna need it!" Taehyung shouts with a wave and takes off.

"Yeah, I'll definitely will." You mumble to yourself and get in Jimin's car. He never lets you get close to his precious car so you decided to take it without him knowing. You drove all the way to the Jeon's house and park the car.

You take in a deep breath and exited the car and made way to the front door. You knock softly and take a small step back. The door opens revealing Mrs. Jeon who looked exhausted as ever.

"Oh, Jisun I didn't know you were coming this morning." She says. You smile apologetically and slightly bow your head.

"I'm sorry to drop by without notice, Mrs. Jeon but I was hoping to see Jungkook again." She nods and moves to the side allowing you to walk in. "Could you bring his breakfast to him?" She asks and gives you a plate of toast, eggs, and bacon.

You didn't have the heart to tell her that her son was starving himself so you nodded and walk up the stairs. You stood in front of his door and took a breath then knock softly.

"What?" Jungkook questions from the other side. "It's Jisun, Jungkook. Can I come in? I have your breakfast." You say.

"I'm not hungry." He grumbles and you shake your head. "You need to eat, Kook. Just open the door, I want to talk."

"Then talk from there. I'm not opening the door."

You were slowly growing irritated but held a tight leash on your temper. "Come on, Jungkook I woke up early in the morning just to see you." You whine.

You heard him groan and unlock his door. You walk in and see him still in the same clothes he wore yesterday but with his hair all over the place. He probably just woke up.

"Here." You give him the plate of food and he simply stares down at it. "What did you want to talk about?" He asks and sets the plate aside.

You frown but answer him. "I was hoping that you and I go shopping today."

"No thanks." He refuses blandly. "Jungkook, you need to get out of this room." You state.

"No I don't, I'm perfectly fine here."

"I don't think you're fine if you're starving yourself." You point out. Jungkook doesn't look at you and could care less if he was starving himself. What was the point in eating if he was going to die anyway?

You sigh, "All I want is to make sure each day is memorable for you. That's it. If you can't do this for yourself then do it for your family and friends. Please." You mumble as you stare at your friend with sadden eyes.

Jungkook still refuses to look at you and clenches his hands tightly together. You wait for another minute hoping he would say yes but he still stayed silent. Your chest aches but you can't force him to do something that he didn't want.

So you stood up with your head drooped and made way for the door. Your hands clasp the knob and you twist it ever so slowly.

"Fine."

You spun around in surprise and Jungkook's eyes widen in shock. He didn't mean to say that it just came out. A smile spreads on your lips and you look at him in hope. He straightens his spine and tries to find a way to get of this mess.

"I-I mean, fine that you're leaving or um--" He stumbles over his words before he reluctantly gives up with a sigh. Enthusiasm gleams in your eyes as well as triumph.

"You still don't know how to say no to me, do you?" He groans and rubs a hand down his face. "Shut up."

\/\/\/\/\/\/

You sat in a cafe in boredom watching Jungkook as he stares blankly out the window. Well at least you got him out the house but he was still depressed. He didn't smile when you bought him so many clothes, he didn't touch the chocolate milkshake you bought minutes ago. And that was his favorite.

He didn't even change out of his stupid sweats either! "How long are you going to be emo??" You whine and poke his arm. He moves his arm away, "I'm not emo." He mumbles.

"I bought you so many things yet I don't see a smile on your face. Are you not happy with the clothes?" You question with a frown. Were the skinny ripped jeans too much? Or was it that very long v-neck shirt?

"No, I appreciate that you bought all those for me." He clarifies.

"But. . ." You add on with a look.

He looks at you quizzically. "But what?"

"Aren't you going to add something like 'but I didn't ask for those types of clothes' or something?" You ask. He shakes his head, "No, I really do appreciate them, Jisun." He says genuinely. "It's just that-" He shakes his head.

"Forget it." He grumbles. "No, tell me." You push. "You wouldn't understand." He states. "Maybe if you just tell me then maybe-"

"I said FORGET IT!" Jungkook shouts suddenly and slams his hands on the table. You jump in shock and the whole cafe goes silent looking at you both. Jungkook stares at you in anger and you swallow hard. You felt that you crossed a line and lower your head.

"I just wanted to help." You murmur. You just want to see him smile again. That was all. You just want to see him being sweet and bubbly again.

Realizing his mistake Jungkook grits his teeth with guilt filling his chest. He clenches his hands into fists and moves out of his chair. "There are some things you can't help me with, Jisun. My problems are one of them." He says in a low tone.

Your eyes watered and you tighten your fists. "Your problems are my problems too." You say slowly. You finally look up at him with your eyes hardened.

"I hate seeing you like this. This isn't you. I'm trying my best to cope with this information too, Jungkook. But I'm also trying to get you to be happy and enjoy life."

"But what if I don't want to enjoy it? Have you thought about that?" He questions. "What if I just want to stay in my room and wait for death to come."

You shake your head, "Why would you want to do that when you can enjoy your life while it lasts?"

"Because that's what I do." He states sternly. That's when you lost it, you abruptly stand up causing the chair to fall.

"I just came back yesterday and I'm already tired of your attitude, Jungkook. It hurts me to see you in pain but it hurts me more to see you not doing anything about it." You didn't care if people were staring at you two, you needed to get this out.

"The Jungkook I know wouldn't let this stand in his way. The Jungkook I know would beat the odds and go on with life as if nothing happened! He would try to be happy either way!" You shout. He stares at you with his dull brown eyes with his face blank as ever.

"Sorry but the Jungkook you knew two years ago is dead." He twists his heel and walks out of the cafe without looking back.
