Jimin didn't notice how long he had spent laying there, he didn't notice that most of his body had become numb, he didn't notice how cold he had become.

If you think about it, tears are a blessing to pain. Tears will help you sleep, tears help ease your heart. They allow you to wake up refreshed and better.

Jimin woke up.
Whilst asleep, while he was not thinking, his heart was at ease. But reality came rushing back once he opened his eyes and remembered where he was; and most importantly- why he was there.

There was a bitter and dry taste in his mouth, his eyes were burning- from dehydration, and his head was aching. Jimin brushed it off and remained as he was.

He squeezed the pillow tighter.
His thoughts becoming obstreperous once again, making him feel nauseated.

He buried his face into her pillow and waited; he waited for the sickening sinking he felt to end.

It didn't.

Taking a deep breath, he tried to take in Sena's scent. He tried to imprint it into his memory as hard as he could.

As Jimin took in her fragrance, he suddenly felt okay, he felt warm and at peace again. He felt like she was there with him.

He cried again; because she wasn't there.

"I waited too long. I waited too long, didn't I? I shouldn't have waited-" he mumbled to himself with penitence.

Tears carried Jimin back to another cold, numb, short-lived slumber.

Followed by an hour, two hours, three hours, Jimin jolted awake- realising that he wouldn't be able to sleep to escape any longer; examining the beads of cold sweat scattered on him.

Jimin managed to swallow saliva from his barren dry mouth, then he slowly sat up. He examined the dark room, and the streaks of moonlight peaking through the curtains.

"It's still night time." He said to no one, then proceeded to stare at the lonely moon.

Jimin didn't notice how much time he had spent mourning, he didn't notice that it was cold because Sena forgot the window open, he didn't notice the sound of the door open either.

"Jimin?" A soft voice cautiously called out.

He chuckled, seeming almost crazy, his eyes watered as he spoke, "Great. Now I'm hallucinating too."

The body approached the silhouette of the weak figure that sat on the bed.

"Jimin... are you okay?" She asked as she touched her hand to his shoulder.

Jimin turned to see the owner of the familiar voice, and fell back when he recognised the face.
He recognised her face despite the moonlight being the only form of light that was in the room.

"Is- is it really you?" He managed to voice amidst his shock.

Sena nodded and smiled, "Who else would it be? It's my apartment."

It took a moment for Jimin to process, subconsciously he slowly reached out to touch her cheek.

His expression eventually morphed, he was no longer crying nor in disbelief, he was smiling.

'It's her. It's really her. It's her!' Jimin thought to himself before immediately leaning forward and wrapping himself around Sena.

The pillow was cast aside; now he was holding her instead.

He squeezed tight.
"H-how? How? What happened? How?" He stuttered, pulling out of the hug to hold her face and stare at her.

Tears streamed down his face again, he was so relieved it hurt.
He wanted to ask again, he wanted to find out, but it felt as if his oesophagus and wind pipe were knotted together.

He laughed as he hugged her again, pausing to kiss her on the forehead.

"Jimin- I'm okay. It's okay. I never boarded the plane Jimin." She said, her eyes teared up too.

In the strangest way she felt guilty, that everyone died but her, because she couldn't make it in time. It was some distorted feeling of survivor's guilt.

Sena burst out in tears and held Jimin back twice as tight.

They held each other for minutes on end.

"How come you didn't board the flight?" Jimin wiped his tears and got up to turn on the lights.

"Funny story that..." She nervously laughed and waited for Jimin to sit in front of her.

"I had time to spare, so I went to the airport lounge, and felt very tired and especially drowsy probably because of the painkillers I took or what ever. I woke up with time to spare, I rushed to the terminal-"

"So you didn't miss the flight?" He asked, confused.

"Technically no. I think I dropped my boarding pass on the way, I couldn't find it and they wouldn't let me board last minute. They told me to just book another flight, they said I'll have to wait a while though." She smiled, almost seeming sad.

"I guess it was luck?" She mumbled.

"Why didn't you answer your phone?" Jimin asked her.
"I forgot it in the lounge..." She answered, sounding embarrassed.
"Are you serious? Do you see my beautiful eyes? If you had your phone and if you answered my call you could've saved me so many tears!" He semi-playfully reproached.

He lightly laughed then sighed before speaking again "I'm so glad that you didn't board the plane. I'm so glad that you were the one who was lucky enough to lose their pass. It's selfish, but it's because I need you." He reached out and held her hand.

"Sena. I was thinking about a lot of things, and I had loads of regrets-" Suddenly, Jimin was cut off, his pretty lips were otherwise occupied.

Sena pulled away from the impulsive kiss, seeming almost shocked at her own actions, "Me too." She smiled.

"You do realise it's my turn-" Jimin began, but she kissed him again,
"No, it's still my turn."

They burst out in laughter, their bright smiles of relief contrasting with the tears in their eyes.

He was acting normal now, but Jimin knew that he was still in shock, his body was still shaken up, and his breathing never quite returned to normal that night.

By now, it went without saying that the two wanted to hold each other and sleep next to each other.
After informing the members and Sena's friends, the two lovebirds enjoyed each other's company and warmth.
