It was day 2 after our sweet night. Today, Taehyung pleaded me to go tonight. I agreed, feeling quite scared and unprepared. The truth was, no confidence could ever prepare me to leave this hospital. I was scared, lost, confused, but saw future in Taehyung's persuasions. Taehyung also barely slept those previous two nights, cuddling me up as he thought about our plan all those hours. No daisies were added to his side of the room, that I so often spent time at and he surely forgot about all the pain as he cuddled me up to his chest. I've been looking at Sana for the entire day, hating the fact she doesn't know what's about to happen. Even looking at Minjee's smiles brings out a pained sting inside of my chest.
But the plan was definitely thought through, as much as it could be. First, and most important step was to not take any medication today. Taehyung wasn't supervised when he was taking the pills, so he easily hid them under his tongue. Sana's eyes kept staring me as I would take my medication, so Taehyung distracted her by his charming personality. She looked at him directly and that helped me spit out the pills onto my palm and put them inside my pocket. When her attention was turned to me, I opened my mouth as she looked inside of it, making me swirl my tongue so that she could make sure. I felt really bad as soon as I walked away with a relieved Taehyung next to me. Second step was to wait for the nurses to do their last check of rooms before going home. Till they do that, we would slowly start to pack, taking things that were only completely necessary for us to bring along. The third step would include waiting for the night guard to completely fall asleep, a maximum of an hour at the beginning of his shift. And the last, fourth step, was to kiss Taehyung and hope our plan would work out as we would quietly sneak out of the hospital.
"Mouse? You all packed up?" I questioned him as I observed his focused face on the objects and clothing next to him. I glanced at the clock, showing 11:51 PM. "Yeah, I'm trying to take things with me that are most important." He spoke, his focus on a light brown gym bag in front of him. "White shirts and pants?" I questioned. "Check." He quickly spoke, putting them inside the gym bag. "Daisy?" I curiously questioned. "Check." He giggled and put a few pairs inside. "Your sanitizing stuff?" I spoke, making him immediately nod. "Of course." He spoke and waited for me to continue. "Some money?" I asked. "Check." He spoke distantly, checking the money inside his pockets. "Food?" I questioned. "Some of it. You got some too inside you bag, right?" He spoke as he pointed to my black gym back. "Yeah." I immediately nodded. He stood quiet again, waiting for my question. I looked down and softly smiled. "Daisies?" I whispered, making his lips curl into a smile. "Only 12 of them. The ones you added a few days ago. They're the freshest ones. And the ones in your envelopes, but I think they're all withered by now." He quietly spoke, sounding a bit discouraged. I walked over to him and softly placed my hand on his cheek. I pecked his upper lip. "It's okay, Mouse. We'll pick out some daisies if we find a field when we're out." I smiled and detached my fingers from his soft cheek, barely being able to move my hand away.
He nodded and sent a smile my way. "Did you bring your letters?" He asked me, deeply staring into m eyes. "Yeah. To make more space, I had to move them out of the boxes and tie them up with ribbons. Thankfully, I managed to fit it all inside with my clothes and other stuff." I explained and earned an acknowledgement nod from Taehyung. "You have some money too?" He questioned as I focused on zipping my bag up. "Yeah." I slightly hesitated and answered, not wanting to tell him how I got more money. "You didn't steal it, right?" He questioned, slight confusion showing in his voice. I slightly gulped and pretended I had to check something in my bag. "No." I lied, trying to seem confident. "You wouldn't lie to me, right?" He spoke in such a soft tone, it made my chest clench in pain over my lies. I shut my eyes tightly for a second, feeling pain and guilt slowly wash over me. "I wouldn't." I spoke and gathered some weak boldness as I faked a smile as soon as I spoke. "Okay." He spoke in a unreadable tone, making me feel slightly scared and nervous. I tried to switch the topic fast. "Are we going to leave like-now?" I asked, making him slightly raise his eyebrows. "You can't go outside wearing that t-shirt only. You'll get cold. Take my sweater you so fondly took hold of." He teased me, making my face slightly heat up. "Don't be like that!" I exclaimed in slight embarrassment. I pulled out his sweater from my bag and put it onto myself, immediately feeling warmth come to me. Taehyung pulled me closer to him by holding my hips, his palm clenching for only a brief second. "Do you remember that?" He asked with a smirk, his eyes smiling at me too. I nodded and felt him kiss my cheek, making me giggle at his sudden action. "I mean, we had some nice moments in here." He whispered as I held him by his neck. "Yeah. Definitely." I spoke, both of us reminiscing about our days and nights in this place. "What's your favorite moment?" I asked, focused on his perky ears that slightly twitched upon hearing my gentle voice. "Well, we're standing on it." He explained in a not understandable way, making me furrow my eyebrows in confusion. "We kissed the first time, right on this spot - only crunched down on the floor." He spoke and looked down, giggling to himself.
