Part 3

"Which one do you want this time?" the florist asked his regular customer.

Jimin looked around for a moment, "Those pink ones over there."

Jimin had been visiting Leah regularly. Whenever he was done with his dance class every day, he would go to the flower shop to buy new flowers for her.

"She can't even see those flowers you give her." Hoseok once told him.

"I don't care." Jimin had said, "As long as I'm capable of, I'll do it. So that whenever she wakes up, the first thing she would see are the beautiful flowers by her bedside."

Hoseok didn't argue further. Jimin had been bringing flowers to Leah for the past three weeks. He had also asked Hoseok many times to go with him. But Hoseok never visited her, not even once.

When Jimin went inside Leah's room, he found Nina sitting beside her.

"Oh! It's you." Nina said, "new flowers again?"

Jimin nodded. He went to change the flowers that he had brought yesterday from the vase. Though they were still fresh as new, Jimin would still change them every day.

Nina sighed, "What are the uses of them now? You had never cared about her when she was healthy."

Jimin didn't answer. He had asked the same question to himself too. He had been regretting it every day. Only if he knew how much it would hurt him once she was gone, he would have never been terrible to her.

"What are they called?" Nina finally asked.

"Garden Primrose."

*************************************************

It had been more than two months since Leah had saved them from the accident. She was still in a coma. Nobody knew when she was going to come back or if she would ever come back or not.

Hoseok had thought about her quite a lot. Every time Jimin had asked him to go with him, he had refused. Seeing her still body would be too overwhelming for him.

Today, Hoseok had got up his courage to finally visit her in the hospital. As he looked at her motionless body lying on the bed, his eyes filled with tears. At that precise moment, he had a flashback.

Leah was dancing to her favorite music that day. Hoseok had been watching her secretly. He was awed by her skill. "How smooth her moves are!" he had thought.

Before she had ended her dance, Jimin came to stand beside him. Hoseok felt uncomfortable. For some reason, he couldn't bring himself to compliment her. Instead of encouraging her for the performance, the boys had joked and laughed at her that day.

Remembering that painful memory, Hoseok couldn't control his tears. He let them fall. He leaned toward Leah.

"I'm sorry for not appreciating you enough." Hoseok whispered, "You are truly a gem."

*************************************************

Min Yoongi had been drinking a lot lately. His mind was racing. He had never felt so helpless before. The only easy way to calm his messy brain was drinking.

He was the worst among the boys. That was what Leah had once told him. He had laughed and said that he was proud about it, that it was rather a compliment.

He remembered how innocent he used to be once. How he had hated all the bullies in his elementary school. He had been scared of the world and hated everyone. But since he had friends, he started to feel more confident.

"How did this happen?" Yoongi questioned himself, "since when did I turn into such a monster?"

He knew he couldn't undone the damage he had already caused her. He couldn't even apologize. Seemed like God had taken away that chance from him.
