It was the day. She was going to get operated. Although doctors said she is going to be absolutely okay after the surgery and there is nothing to worry about, we are all humans, it's normal to get anxious.

It's only normal if we feel those emotions. Anxiety and nervousness are normal.

Her operation was due at 12 pm in the afternoon. She decided to take a walk around the garden in the mean time as it was just 7 in the morning right now.

Everything was normal. But her heart felt heavy even after all the talk she had with jimin yesterday. Thinking about him, Heat rose up to her cheeks. How comfortable she had felt in his embrace or how considerate he was !

Her lips unknowingly lifted upwards in a smile, Thinking about him.

" There you are! I was just thinking about you. I knew you would come here today so I woke up early. " Jimin said as he saw her walking towards the bench where he was sitting.

" I have to go inside soon tho! I just wanted some fresh air. " she said smiling at him as she sat down beside him on the bench.

" Hmm. Okay okay. Just relax and don't worry about anything so you can be healthy soon. " Jimin said returning your smile making you nod your head.

There was silence in the atmosphere as they both just sat there looking at the trees and flowers. It was rather beautiful for just a hospital garden.

The silence was not uncomfortable, it was peaceful.

He wanted to cherish every moment he had spent with her till now.

He diverted his eyes from the trees to her face as she kept gazing at the flowers that kept fluttering by the subtle wind.

His lips tugged upwards in a smile as he looked at her fondly. How her hair would dangle in the air or how her lips form a pretty smile everytime she is contented !

As if she sensed the stare coming from him, she looked up at him, diverting her eyes from the flowers.

Her smile just got bigger looking at his sparkly eyes, and the red dust decorating her cheeks.

But something about his smile was different. His eyes possessed thousands of twinkling stars in those dark brown galaxies. It was beautiful just to look at his eyes, but his smile... it looked rather sad.

He was smiling brightly, with his eyes forming a beautiful moon crescent shape but his smile looked painful.

He looked at her smile fading and eyebrows frowning making his smile drop, too.

She was about to say something but he stopped her midway changing the subject.

" Uh- when do you need to go back to the room? " Jimin said averting his eyes from her and looking down at his hands in his lap.

" They told me I have to go there by 8 am, for the preparations and all. " She said also looking down at her lap.

" I see. So I- I wanted to- " Jimin started speaking but was cut off in the middle of his sentence by her.

" Uh oh! Jimin I think I need to go now or Ms.choi would get mad at me for being outside for too long. " She said smiling apologetically at him and stood up.

Jimin also stood up. It was suddenly so awkward, like they both wanted to say something but couldn't find the right words.

" Okay then. I'll see you soon. B-bye. " She said and turned around.

She took some steps but jimin stopped her by saying, " Wait- Y/N! I have something to give you. " He said a little loudly so she could hear him. And she turned around facing him with confused expressions on her face.

She walked near him asked what was the matter.

He shoved his hand in his pocket hastily searching for something. He pulled out something shiny from his pocket.

" Y/N, keep this with you please. Take that as a present or gift. It's so precious to me and I want you to keep it safe with you. " Jimin said looking deeply in her eyes.

It was a beautiful shining stone. It didn't look like a normal stone, it was so pretty and purple colored.

As beautiful as the night sky full with shining stars. As pretty as the blue ocean waves that makes you nostalgic.

He put that stone in your hand and smiled.

" it's really so beautiful Jimin, but why are giving this to me ? " She said looking at the mesmerising purple stone in her hand. That looked a bit old because of some scratches here and there, but it was still as shiny as new.

" Just because I want you to have it. I have treasured that my whole life till now. That will give you strength, whenever you face problems in life. It will remind you that I'm always with you, by your side. Forever. " Jimin said as his eyes sparkled with raw tears.

His words made her heart pound with an unsettling feeling in her chest.

" Jimin, why are saying it like- as if you are- " her throat felt dry and her own eyes pooled with tears. She couldn't talk further but took a step forward.

" It's nothing, really. I just wanted you to know that I'm here. Ah! You know how silly I am. I can't balance my emotions and overreact sometimes. D-don't worry about me." Jimin said and let a pearl like tear roll down his cheek.

She took another step towards him and slowly let her arms fall around his torso, resting her head on his shoulder.

" Don't forget your promise, chimchim. Okay? " She said in between her tears and let him go. She couldn't look at him without crying. Something was wrong, but she couldn't put a finger on what was it.

He still had a smile present on his face even though the tears were rolling down freely. She wiped his tears and caressed his cheeks a little before stepping back.

And just like that, she was gone.

Away from his eyes. From him.

" I'm sorry, my cherry. " That was all he could utter with the tears blurring his vision.
