TAEHYUNG

"You should go, mom. You haven't dated anyone since dad."

My mom rolls her eyes as she checks each of my fingers for cuts.

A regular at the coffee shop that has been crushing on my mom for years finally asked her out and she has yet to accept the invitation.

"I'm not interested in dating anyone," She says, moving on to my other hand. "Plus I have my hands full taking care of you."

"Well I won't always be around," I say. "What are you going to do when I'm gone?"

"Don't start, Taehyung," She says walking away to grab my medication. "You're going to be 'round a long time."

"I want there to be someone to take care of you when I'm gone, mom," I say, holding my hand out for the pills. "It worries me that you might be alone."

"Hey," She says, making me meet her eyes. "You don't have to worry about that. Worry about staying well and doing what's best for yourself."

"I want you to do what's best for yourself too," I say.

"Taking care of you is what's best for me," She says handing me a glass of water.

I take the medicine before handing her the glass. "Can my friend come over?"

"No," She says gathering the tools she used to check me out. "You still have three days left before you finish your antibiotics. And Dr. Choi still has to come make sure everything is fine."

"He's starting to think something's wrong with me I think," I say picking at my nails. "He even asked Hoseok what was going on."

"I specifically told Jihye not to mention anything to him, so he doesn't know anything," Mom says. "But I still think that if this person were really your friend they'd accept you even if they knew."

"I don't want to tell him," I say. "Last time I told someone it ended up spreading all around school."

"I know, sweetheart," Mom says. "But it worries me that if something were to happen while you were alone with him~"

"Nothing's gonna happen," I say. "If the time comes I'll tell him. But for now I just want to have a normal friendship."

"Well I don't mind him coming over after you finish your prescription," She says, heading out of the room. "But he has to sanitize and wear a mask."

"Mom~"

"I don't want to hear it," She says before she's gone.

I roll my eyes slightly, walking over to my bed and plopping down with my phone. I cough a little as I type my password.
