Perfectly Imperfect ✔

2 Years

(Jin's POV)

Weeks before the proposal-

"Damn..."

"So it's true then? There's nothing?" I asked him.

"No.. Jin.. if I.."

"Don't. It's alright. I'm going to marry her soon. I'm going to give her the wedding of her dreams. I will be her Prince charming.... Till the very end."

Present Day-

"So... You Knew." He asked with a somber look on his face. I knew he didn't blame me... but he was hurting too.

"Yeah."

"Why didn't you at least tell me? I thought.... I thought we were close enough friends, Jin."

"Namjoon, I made you lie once to the person you love... I sure as hell wasn't going to let you get married while trying to keep all of it a secret from him." I reminded him. There was a time when he risked his relationship for my secrets... When he married Jimin a little over a year ago- I knew I was right in not telling them the honest truth. Besides.. by that point... as I'd find out later... she already knew she was dying. She already knew she reached the point of no return.

"Still... Ah, who am I kidding... Jimin would have been a wreck, more so than now." He sighed. "How did.. how did she take it?" He asked.

"I didn't know she knew till the last incident. Remember when she collapsed?" I asked, recalling that day.

3 Months ago.....

"She's awake." Dr. Kwon informed me as I was busy pacing the hospital hallway. I looked up immediately and nodded to him before I followed him back inside.
There she was, laying there, propped up a bit. She was awake, looking forward and right at me when I entered. The small smile that graced her lips was for me... and it hurt because I had hidden things from her, and I knew I'd have to come clean now.

"Hello my Princess." I said softly to her.

"Hi Jinnie." She smiled a bit more and I leaned down to her lips and gently kissed her. She held my hand and I could see the tears that were gathering. It was now or never...

"Lilly, I-"

"I know." She replied.

"What?" I asked, confused.

"I'm dying Jinnie. I've been dying... since the day I was born. I mean.. I guess that's redundant right? Everyone is dying.. just... slowly. I'm dying faster than most thought." She sighed.

"How?"

"By piecing things together.." She smiled. "Remember the first night we got home after my first dose of medicine?" She smiled a little brighter. I thought back... yeah, I remembered that night.

"That was a good night." I smirked. Her cheeks lit up a bit.

"Yeah, it was. After the um... really really good parts of that night, you got a call from Dr. Kwon." She said, Dr. Kwon looked from her to me. How she got that she was dying from that one moment was.. well.. strange.
"It's not that the call was odd. The Good Dr. here would call you randomly from time to time. Like I said.. piecing things together." She smiled again.
"The next was you started to work and ignore me almost as much as before. You were better at hiding it this time. I guess you learned. You finally eased up though, and.. then you started to do the opposite. You were suddenly wanted to spend as much time with me as possible." She giggled a little.
