Promise

Heart Transplant

"She doesn't usually do this. I'm so sorry." Momo was always obedient child. Gyeoul was surprised herself to hear her cried.

"Appa..." She raised her hands, asking Jimin to carry her.

"Come, don't bother appa anymore.. Go back with mommy, okay?" Gyeoul tried to persuade her.

"No. I want my appa.." She continued to cry miserably. You tugged Jimin sleeves.

"Carry her back.. she is crying so sad.." As a daughter your dad usually coax you too, it was special bonding between father and daughter.

"Are you sure it's okay?" He badly wanted to.
"Yes, you can go.." You reassured him.

Jimin carried Momo in his arm, she immediately hugged him, crying her heart out.

"Shh, stop crying. Appa loves you.." Jimin rubbed her back. The three of them headed to Gyeoul's room. You could hear both of them trying to cheer the little girl up.

"I hate myself.." You went back inside Jimin's bedroom. Could you let him go every time they need him? You didn't want to make him pick one from both side, "Mom is right.. It is hard."

Which one with hurt the three of you less?
Leaving him or staying with him? None of them sounds good enough for you.

Jimin read a story book for Momo, she had
been treated like princess since she lives here.
She was probably getting too spoiled, knowing Jimin always granted what she wants.

"Appa sleeps with us tonight.." Momo wrapped her little arm around him, "Momo won't let you go."

"Go to sleep.." Jimin kissed her head.
Momo yawned as she slowly drift to sleep.
Gyeoul was looking at him with warm heart.
It was complicated how she feels about him.
She wanna reached him, she wanna let him know that she was still care about him.
So much. However, seeing him with you...
She couldn't be so shameless and confessed her feelings. You already kind enough to let Jimin helped them.
Jimin carefully moved aside but Momo hug was tighter. Their eyes met. Jimin gave her a small smile. First time they met, he didn't even want to look at him. Things were better.
He treated her with full of consideration.
He was the same man she was in love with, it just Jimin with someone else now...
"Wait a bit more.." She said carefully, "She will soon release you."
"Hmm.." Jimin avoided to see her in the eyes. He was not dumb, he noticed the way she saw him. She was probably mistaken his kindness with something else.

You looked at the time in your phone. It already past an hour. Why Jimin did not coming back yet? Was Momo still crying or she didn't let him go? Your heart troubled.

"Why would i jealous over a little girl?" You chuckled, hushing the weird thought.
You trusted him. You do, do you?

"Eng.." Jimin rubbed his eyes, he fell asleep.
Gyeoul was standing beside him, she seemed to be surprised to see him awake. She was about to cover him with the blanket.

Momo already release him. The little girl sleep so soundly.

Jimin got up from the bed, "Good night."
He said without looking at her.
"Good night..." Gyeoul replied, "J.. Jimin.." She stuttered.
"Hm?" Jimin looked at her straightly in the eyes, "What is it?" She did not reply him.

"I.."

"Go to sleep, it's already late." Jimin did not let her finish her words.

"O.. okay.." Jimin closed the door. He traced his lips. He felt a soft warm pressed on his lips.. Did she kiss him? He was not sure if it was only in his imagination or it truly happened.

Gyeoul touched her mouth, her face was blushing. He was just there laying down, off guard, the more she saw his lips, the more she could not resist herself.

You were already asleep when he entered the bedroom. 'Pretend to be sleep' to be precise because it was better for you not to show your jealousy to him.

"Are you sleeping, Princess..?" He caressed your face. Jimin noticed your eyes were slightly opened for a minute, that you didn't really asleep. Were you upset because he went too long? "I fell asleep there. Momo sleep on me, so I can't move.." He explained.

"Chim.. this is childish question. But.. between me and Momo who is the most important? If you only can save one of us, who will you save?"

"Hmm.. you have to tell me the situation." He thought carefully.

"No, just pick one. You only can save one." You felt this question was indeed stupid and shallow, why would you compare yourself with Momo in his heart. Clearly both of you held different position, "Forget it. It's silly."

You pulled the blanket higher.

"Baby.. there is no situation I couldn't solve moreover if it is about people i care about. I will do anything to save both of you" In any situation, he was the same man, with the money and power he held, there was nothing he worried about.

"What if we need, hypothetically the same heart transplant..?"
