Taehyung's P.O.V

Hobi continued to rub my back as I cough out loud. White petals of daisies are pouring right out of the trash bin. My eyes are blurry with tears, and my chest is in heaving pain.

"You forgot the bouquet, you pabo! See what happened.." Hobi ranted at me.

I wiped my mouth and removed some of the petals that were stuck at my lips. Then I turned to Hobi, "I was too late anyways. He already said yes to that guy."

"That guy is a player. Jin couldn't possibly be in love with him."

"Yeah, right. As if he didn't wish it was him who was giving him the notes. Jin always expects that guy to come around whenever he reads my notes. You see how much he giggles with his best friend when they're whispering about him."

It's true. I always observe him from afar. And it hurts me every single time - right when I thought we had a good talk in the morning, but the rest of the day, it's all about that 'cool' guy and nobody else.

It's been more than a year now since I first laid my eyes on Jin.

When I started to take the bus to school, instead of driving, I didn't imagine I would end up loving someone silently.

That someone is so simple, yet so striking to my eyes.

He is not like any other guy who would go around, eyeing good-looking men.

He is reserved, gorgeous yet delicate, and stunning yet pure.

But he never looked my way.

So I made myself contented with just looking and admiring him from afar. I just drop small notes to his locker everyday to let him know at least what I'd like to say.

Until I lost a bet with Yoongi, Hobi's boyfriend. The consequence was that I must approach and introduce myself to Jin.

So one day, I mustered up my courage and approached him at the park. I sprinkled some cherry blossom petals over him - wishing someday I can watch them with him, so my love for him can come true.

From then on, we became good friends.

But I still couldn't confess my feelings for him. As he seemed to be occupied with that guy who always greets him good morning too.

I know he's the heartthrob guy that most girls and guys shriek for. So what can I do to get Jin's attention then?

I thought I will be happy staying this way. But as I became too invested to my feelings for Jin, I started to develop the Hanahaki disease.

Hobi said I should tell my parents and ask them to have this removed. But its consequence is even more painful. They said my feelings for Jin would be removed along with it.

Hence, I refused.

This feeling I'm feeling - it's what makes me happy.

Yes, I am hurting. But the happiness makes up for it.

I'd rather stay this way than become numb for the rest of my life.

"Tae, I'm getting worried about you. I don't like this anymore. I know you are trying your best, but it doesn't seem to work. Therefore, I hope you decide to end this now. I don't want you to die." Hobi said, starting to tear up too.

"Hobi, I'll be fine. Just a little bit more. I want to spend time with Jin.. just a little bit more."
