[Jisung]

You held my hand tightly as you were catching your breath after dancing.

You were an amazing dancer. You were the best among the best.

You caught my eye since the first day we met.

We were close, as close as two peas in a pod but we weren't like you and Jeno.

But then when I overheard the reason why he was dating you...

I was mad. I wanted to punch him. I wanted to force you to break up with him.

But you loved him dearly. You loved him like no one else was in your world.

But of course, you didn't notice me. You were too love struck to him.

You were the best girl yet he was playing with you.

I gulped when I was steps closer to your room.

I felt my heart stop and tears were starting to form when I finally saw you.

You're now lying down on the bed with machines that help you breathe around you.

Jaemin gives me clothes required to wear in the room.

I entered the room and walk closer to you.

That's when my tears started falling.

I remember you telling me this illness of yours where you can get strokes at difficult times.

Where you find it hard to breathe and feel like your heart stops to beat.

I sit down and held your hand after weeks, months even.

I felt my hand shaking. I was shaking.

The next second, I found myself sobbing loudly.

I wish you weren't on this bed.

I wish you never had this illness.

I wish you never loved Jeno.

I wish Jeno never knew you.

I wish... you're beside me.

I love you... I love you so much..

Why didn't I tell those words to you earlier?

You promised me that I would never see you lying down on the bed of an ICU.

You said I would only see you lying down on a normal bed.

Waking up and talking to me.

Waiting for me to visit. Waiting for me to take care of you.

So why did you lie to me?

Why did you... make me like this?

"Y/n.... please... wake up.. don't leave," I said, seeing my tears dripping on the floor.

Please... keep fighting.

For Jaemin, for your mom and dad, for your friends..

For me...

Please, don't stop fighting and come back...

Come back to us...

Come back to me......

I shushed y/n as we sneak around the school, skipping classes.

She chuckles and we went to the school's garden.

We sit under a tree where it's behind the bushes.

She then rests her head on my lap. I smile softly, caressing her hair.

"Jisung..."

"Hm?" I close my eyes as I play with her hair.

"Will you promise me something?" She asked and I nodded.

I felt her hand on mine.

"If I ever get heartbroken by him... and I happen to have a stroke.." She trailed off and I open my eyes.

"Please promise me... you'll visit me everyday in the hospital." I saw her staring into my eyes.

Her eyes were sparkling.

It was like there was a galaxy in her eyes.

You can easily get lost.

"Then will you promise me something as well?" I asked and she nodded.

I interlocked our fingers.

I rest my forehead on hers.

"Promise me that I will never see you lying down on the bed of an ICU," I said, staring deeply into her eyes.

She then smiled and nodded.

"I promise, Jisung-ah."

[Present]

I wipe my tears away as I stand up from the seat.

I put down my mask, kissing her hand.

"I'll be back.." I let go of her hand, placing it gently back on the bed.

I exited the room, facing Jaemin.

I remove the cap, the gloves and the coat.

"Do you really and sincerely love her?" He asked, taking the clothes from me.

I nodded, staring into his eyes.

The same eyes I want to keep staring at forever, get lost in it.

"Yes, I do... and it hurts seeing her like this.." I turn around, facing y/n.

"We would always laugh together. Spend time together when she got nothing to do.."

"Have sleepovers where we take turns sleeping on the floor.. going to our secret hideouts..."

I start crying again.

"Making promises.."

Jaemin Pat's my back before hugging me.

I cry on his shoulder.

"Why... why can't she just.... be okay for once?"

I continue to cry on his shoulder..

"I love her so much...."
