YOONGI'S POV 

"I promise I'll be okay." he smiled looking in my direction.

I didn't know what to do, I felt so helpless. I leaned onto Jin because my legs were shaking.

"Yoongi?" I heard his mother. She looked demented.

"I transferred a good amount into your account. Don't ask me how I got the details, your parents are coming here. Take care of my son. I saw how much you love him, I am sorry for all these years. I have to leave."

"He needs you." I almost didn't recognize my voice.

"He needs you, Yoongi. He sees the universe in your eyes. Don't let him come to that house again."

I just nodded. I didn't see this coming, or maybe I did. I don't know.

"Hi." I heard a familiar voice.

I looked up to find Namjoon, his half moon eyes full of concern.

I just broke down in front of them and they watched me cry. They sat beside me and let me cry as much as I wanted to. I was hurt beyond words. Jin hyung just held me in place, and didn't let go. I must have passed out, cause I don't remember anything after that.

It's almost midnight now.

I saw Jin and Namjoon talking to Jin's mom. My legs felt weak but I slowly walked towards them.

They all looked worried.

"Hi, Yoongi. I need you to listen to me very carefully okay? First of all Jimin is okay. You should know that. The problem is, that kid had a lot on his plate for a very long time. You took great care of him and I am very proud of you for that. It's just that, sometimes our body can't take enough of it, it needs rest too. It's devastating that he had to go through all of this but he's in coma. I'm pretty sure you know why that happens. He might   wake up tomorrow, or in a week" she took a break before she said those last three words.

"Or maybe a month."

I covered my face with my hands. He was just there and now he is sleeping. What is this deep slumber?

"Trust me Yoongi. Just think of it as a rest Yoongi. As an experienced doctor, I am telling you, he will wake up. He is only a boy, and he is a strong boy, he will make it. Your love is too young, Yoongi. You are all so young, don't lose hope. It's best if you get some rest. I won't ask you to go home because I know you won't and you can't. You can go and sit with him for as long as you want to. You can lie on the sofa and since I am one of the board members and you are my son's friend, I'll manage for a VIP room, don't worry about that. You can just stay here. The hospital is basically my home, so you just take care of him. And it's okay to shed a few tears, don't bottle it all up."

What would you do when you hear this in real life? I had only seen these in movies and it felt surreal. She is right, we are so young but the battles going on in our hearts, the wars in our minds take away our innocence. We suddenly become grown ups, all our innocence is concealed and then love heals us, slowly. Love helps us grow, it helps us act mature unlike those adults who never could sort out their priorities.

"I'll just go and sit with him but I want to change first."

I drove back home to get a fresh set of clothes for me and Jimin, in case they let him wear his own clothes.

Even though it was feeling like the world was coming to an end, even though I regretted not saying all those things I wanted to tell him, even though I was feeling like I will lose him forever, I tried to think straight. 

All this time I just knew what I had to do. I took my laptop so that I could mail our professors about this. I want to take this semester off, just so that I can look after him. It will be impossible for me to attend college without him. That's crazy.
