Perfectly Imperfect ✔

Risks We Take

(Jin's POV)

The amount of time it takes to make a mistake in a formula is less than the time it takes to take one simple breath. The time it takes to have a newly evolved formula that has taken over two years to perfect tested and then approved.... Is a hell of a lot longer, and in those hours... weeks.. months.. years it takes for an approval- your mental state can diminish as you go over the formula again, and again, and again. You can overthink yourself a million times over, you can make yourself doubt every decision you ever made.

You can... well.. literally drive yourself insane.

Days... weeks.. I can't even really remember when I stopped thinking about it, about this formula, what it could mean. But when I got that call... my sweet Princess was in the hospital again.. this time they were not releasing her without a clear from her Doctor. Dr. Kwon thought it best if she stayed there instead of bringing her back here, I'll never understand his reasoning for it- but I know he must have a logical reason.

I've been having Namjoon and Jimin check on her, spend time with her.. even that friend, Taehyung. He's also sent me a few messages recently to let me know she's doing. Even thought the urge to stop and run to her, to comfort her is so very strong.. I can't. I need to do this, I've for years on this and it's so much more important now....

"Here's the guidelines for the assessment. And the results from the 876AR test. We got clearance for release on these results." Dr. Kwon said as he handed over the forms. I marked my signature where needed and them back to him.

"We have the conference at 3:40pm right?" I asked to be sure.

"Yes. Be up in the meeting room by 3 so we can go over some things and make sure we have everything covered. They've been sent the results. If approved this week... we might actually be able to do this SeokJin." He smiled, hope in eyes. He had been at this a lot longer than I had- Trying to cure this sweet innocent girl... who has now become such an amazing woman. I can't... I want to call her, to run to her and hold her.. but I can't.

Just one more week Princess...

one more week...

wait for me....

(Lilly's POV)

"Don't..."

"But.."

"No. You can't."

"Joonie..."

"Jimin, please."

"She's going to wake up again and I swear to god Joon, you're going to tell her. She's been crying for days!"

"Jimin, sweetie.. it's not my place."

"I don't care! If you don't tell her... I will."

"Then let's go, Tae is here anyway with Roxy. They'll look after her."

"No! I'm not going with you if you're going to be like this Joonie."

"Jiminie please... don't be like this baby."

"No! You know how much I care about her, she's family Joonie. She's heartbroken and only getting worse because he's not here!"

I didn't want them to fight... but I couldn't saying anything, I couldn't open my eyes.. it hurt too much. I knew who they were talking about.. My Prince... my Jinnie...

"Jimin... It isn't our place."

"She's family, it is our place. Fuck you for not thinking it is. If you want to leave.. leave!" I didn't like hearing Jimin so stressed out and mad. Joon was only being a friend to Jin and he truly didn't think it was his place to tell me whatever was going on. Maybe Jin... maybe he'd finally given up on me. Maybe this time it was too much.
