JEONGGUK;

it was time for surgery, and i wasn't nervous- believe it or not. i knew that deep down i had lived all 23 years of my life wisely, and to my full potential. life was pretty generic and boring until seventeen years ago, so if i had to change anything- it would be to have met jimin six years earlier from when i did.

we would've been infants, but any more time with jimin would've been worth it.

as the nurses prepared me for my surgery, jimin sat in the seat right next to me- gently caressing my hands. he was slightly shaking as silent tears escaped his eyes.

"don't cry angel" i whispered while weakly wiping his tears.

"i.. i can't help it, what if something goes wrong- or what if i- i never see you agai-" he sobbed out, though i quickly cut him off with a soft caress to his cheek.

"jimin, for the past seventeen years, we lived with no regrets. we stayed together throughout it all, and i wouldn't change all 6,209.12 days that we've spent together. would you?" i whispered softly, so that only jimin could hear me.

he then shook his head, disagreeing with my question.

"so should you be worried min?" i asked while gently squeezing his hand.

his head shook once again in denial.

"and why shouldn't you be worried?" i asked once more with a weak smile, he then looked up and matched my smile- though his was way more forced.

"because we lived with no regrets for the past 6,209.12 days.." he whispered back.

i then nodded, feeling a sudden warmth spread throughout my body- as if i gained a newfound hope. i felt like positive that we would get out of this together, it was more than just a gut feeling.. i knew that we'd be okay.

and as soon as i felt that promising sensation the head doctor of my surgery came in, ready to take me.

"mr.jeon.. we're ready for you- please say your goodbyes to mr...?" the doctor asked while gesturing to jimin.

"mr.jeon, he's my husband" i spoke up, catching jimin off guard this time. he then blushed while nodding.

"nice to see more colorful characters around here, well.. we'll give you two a minute.. please give us a shout when you're ready!" he spoke with a warm smile.

with the both of us nodding in his direction, he and the other nurses left the room.

"i'll see you when i get out min, don't doubt it for one second.. okay?" i spoke softly while sincerely smiling up at him.

my smile held promise, and positivity- it was my way of showing him that we'd be okay.

"okay.. fight no matter what guk" he whispered out while softly pecking my forehead.

"bye, my chickie" i whispered one last time, before calling out for the doctor.

though as i was being pushed out of my hospital room i heard one last whisper that gave me everlasting hope,

"i'll see you soon, my bunny"
