Chapter 17

"Are you ready?", my mother in law asked me seeing me walking out of the kitchen with a glass of water in my hand.

"I... I am nervous", I took a seat on the dining table.

"Where is Jimin?", she asked again and I emit a tired sigh, "He went to office early in the morning to complete a few of his pending files." She nodded in understanding and took my hand in her, "Don't be nervous Chaerin. We all are here for you. Jimin is here for you. Everything is gonna be okay." I pressed my lips into a thin line and gulped the huge lumped that had formed in my throat, "I just want to live mom." She stood up from her seat and came to me, engulfing me in her embrace, "You will Chaerin."

"I hate this", I scrunched my nose at the sight of me wearing the hospital gown while Jimin laughed while standing at the back.

"Why are you laughing?", I whined as he came closer to me and back hugged me, "You are acting as if this is your house and not a hospital."

I closed my eyes tightly feeling my heart thumping crazily against my ribs. I wanted to live longer and this is the moment that will let me live more. I will be able to love Jimin more. But somewhere my heart felt uneasy. What if something goes wrong?

Shrugging off the negative thoughts I tried to smile but my lips forbade. The stretcher was pushed in the huge white room which had nothing but big machines scaring me to death, "C-can I meet Jimin for the last time?", I asked in an almost inaudible tone and the nurse scoffed making me want to punch her.

"Can you for once stop being an annoying bitch?!", she spat making me clench my jaw, "Mind. Your. Language.", I foregrounded each word and my voice was scary enough to make her shiver. She nodded her head and hurriedly went out to call him.

"Chae?", he softly called me making my heart skip a beat.

"You wanted to meet me?", he approached me and stood near my bed. "Yes", I sat up at the bed and embraced him tightly in a bone crushing hug to which he smiled and patted my back. He placed a few kisses on my hair but I wasn't ready to leave him. Who knows if I will even come back alive? I wanted to love him with all my heart. I wanted to give him my heart right now.

"It's okay baby, I am here. I am always here", he whispered in my ear making me shake my head and finally my tears cascaded down my rosy cheeks damping his white shirt. He broke the hug in surprise and placing his fingers on my chin made me face him, "Why?... Why are you crying Chae?"

I didn't know what to say. Why was I crying I myself didn't know? But his face was making me more and more vulnerable. It was making me more weak than I actually was. He was my most pleasant sight. I didn't want to take my eyes off him.

"Can we kiss?", I blurted, catching him off guard but he nevertheless agreed. Bending forwards he caught my lips and I kissed back.

It felt heavenly.

It felt necessary.

I wrapped my hands around his torso as he held my waist tightly. "Never leave me", I uttered in between the kiss and he nodded, "Never."
