One Week is All I Could Ask For (A BTS Love Story)

Chapter 53: Worsen

(A/N: I would like to dedicate this chapter to my friend, nerissa2311 :D)

Taehyung's POV:

"Taehyung? Son? Wake up, we need to tell you something." I felt Dad gently nudging me as I felt two figures sitting on my bed.

I woke up as I felt Mom's hand against my face.

"What is it Dad?" I groaned as I stretched my arms wide.

"We'll tell you later. Hurry up and clean yourself. We'll wait here." Mom said as she gently pushed me to the bathroom.

I walked out of the bathroom as I was rubbing my hair dry with a towel when I heard them talking in my room.

I slightly hid behind the door as I listened to their conversation. I didn't mean to eavesdrop. It was about me so I guess I had to know.

"Do you think he will go? It was hard for him to leave last time."

"I know and I understand him. But this is for his own good. If his condition improves, he'll come back eventually."

"I know. It's just that I'm worried about him. What if his conditon doesn't improve? Won't he come back?" I heard Mom as her voice became hoarse.

"Don't worry, he'll be alright. It's for the best, trust me." Dad said as I saw him hugging Mom before I entered the room.

"Am I leaving again?" I asked as I deeply sighed.

"Taehyung, it's for the best. We just can't sit around here knowing that you might just collapse in front of us. We want you to be healthy again and live a normal life just like any other teenage boy do." mom said.

"And what does leaving have to do with me living a normal life?" I said, sounding unreasonable.

"Taehyung, you know better than that. It's not just about leaving. We won't let you leave without a valid reason. You have to take care of yourself. You do know you have a severe disease." Dad said.

He's right. I knew about it. It's just that I can't afford leaving Minah again. What will she think about this? I know it's not the right time to think about anyone else but myself right now, but I can't help it.

"If you are thinking of Minah, It's alright. We'll take good care of her while you're not here. If that's the only thing that will get you to leave without any hesitations, then we'll do it." Mom faintly smiled.

"I hope you know that it's also hard for us to be apart from you. Although I'm coming with you, it's still hard for us." Dad said.

"Then when are we leaving?" I deeply sighed.

"After two days." Dad said.

"When are we coming back then?" I asked.

"We still don't know. You can't leave if your conditon doesn't improve." Mom said.

"What if I won't get better? I'll just die without going back home?" I carelessly said.

"Taehyung, don't talk like as if you know everything that will happen." Dad scolded me.

I could see tears forming in Mom's eyes when she quietly left the room leaving Dad and I.

Well, they do want me to get better. But they have to accept the possibilities too.

"Let me guess, you are leaving again?" Minah blankly said, avoiding my gaze.

"Minah, I already told you, we talked about this, haven't we? Please try to understand. I wouldn't leave if it wasn't for this, it's for my own good. I could--" I tried to approach her but she avoided me.
