MyLimit (8)

"Jin," A man who was lying on the bed called Jin in a weak voice, Jin who was far away from where he was also approached him and sat beside him.

"Do you need anything?" Jin said.

"Lie here, I want you here," The man said and Jin got on the bed, he lay beside the man and took the man's body in his arms.

"Are you cold?" Jin said and the man just dived his face into Jin's neck.

"We should have stayed in the hospital, the doctor said--"

"It won't make any difference Jin, in the hospital or at home I'll still die right?" the man said.

"Could you stop talking like that?" Jin said.

"That's right, the doctor said my condition is getting worse, I also feel my time is getting closer, I always wished I could meet you sooner," The man pulled his head to look at Jin who was already looking at him.

"I wish we could be together longer," The man said and Jin stroked his cheek gently.

"Let's not bring it up again, I'm here," Jin said.

"You are a good man Jin, I'm sure whoever has you will be very lucky," the man said and Jin was silent because not everyone is lucky to get him.

"Go to sleep, it's late, I'm not going anywhere, so don't worry about anything," Jin said.

"Can I kiss you?" The man said and Jin didn't answer, he brought his face closer to kiss the man and hugged him warmly while stroking his back.

The man's name is Soobin, he is the owner of the Laundry where Jin works part-time, Soobin should be in the hospital because his condition is getting worse due to end-stage brain cancer. At first, Jin didn't know that his boss was sick, but Jin often found Soobin looking in pain until he fainted, Jin took Soobin to the hospital and knew everything, seeing Soobin reminded him of Jungkook, there was a resemblance that Jin couldn't explain.

Day after day passed, Jin always took care of him until they didn't realize it, and their relationship became very close, Soobin was grateful because there were still people who wanted to accept him without seeing his flaws. Jin couldn't and didn't want to leave Soobin even though Soobin had told him to go. Soobin's condition got so bad that he closed his Laundry, but Jin still chose to be with him because Soobin didn't have anyone besides Jin.

They've been together for almost 7 months, Jin stays at Soobin's place to take care of him, and he also still works as a waiter at the bar at night. Soobin knows about Jungkook and Jin's marriage. He also knew about the divorce, Jin told Soobin everything but never discussed it again after Soobin's condition worsened, Jin only focused on Soobin's health.

The morning sunlight came into the room, waking Jin up from his sleep, he opened his eyes and saw Soobin still in his arms, his face was very pale and it made Jin very worried. Jin stroked his face before kissing his forehead.

"Morning," Soobin said, he woke up to feel Jin's touch.

"Morning," Jin said.

"I'm sorry because of me you didn't work last night," Soobin said.

"We discussed it, I will not leave you, what do you want to eat for breakfast?" Jin said.

"My mouth tastes bitter," Soobin said.

"I'll bring you some juice, hm?" Jin said and Soobin just nodded.

"Jin" Soobin said and their eyes met then.

"Hmm?"

"Have you never heard of Jungkook?" Soobin said and Jin was silent.

"I know it's been more than a year you and him separated but don't you ever want to know how they are?" Soobin said.

"I'll get some juice for you first," Jin said and pecked Soobin's lips before leaving the room.

Of course, Jin thought about them, how was Yoongi and Jimin's condition, but he was sure they were living happily without Jin there. Jin returned to the room from the kitchen with a glass of juice in his hand, he saw Soobin already sitting on the edge of the bed, his body was getting thinner at that time and Jin approached him, he knelt in front of Soobin and gave him juice.

"Here's your juice," Jin said and Soobin brushed Jin's hair behind his ear before stroking Jin's cheek.

"You are so handsome Jin," Soobin said.

"You are also very beautiful," Jin said.

"Don't lie, am I not like an undead?" soobin said.

"You are so beautiful, your face and your heart," Jin said.

"Jin," Soobin said.

"Hmm?" Jin said.

"Is he still in your heart?" Soobin said.

"Soobin, we discussed it and I could never enter his life, his heart's door was never opened for me," Jin said.

"Oh god, Soobin your nose," Jin said and Soobin touched his nose, blood started flowing from his nose again and Jin quickly grabbed a tissue on the nightstand to clean it.

"We have to go back to the hospital, please, I don't want to lose you," Jin said and Soobin covered Jin's cheek.

"But my time won't be long Jin," Soobin said.

"No, you can't say that, please, I'm begging you," Jin said and tears rolled down his cheeks. Soobin just nodded and Jin immediately took him to the hospital.

There was nothing they could do, all methods had been tried, but his condition was getting worse, and his body was no longer accepting the treatment that was being given.

Jin just cried beside Soobin, he saw Soobin again lying weakly in the hospital with oxygen covering his nose.

"Don't cry Jin, we already know what will happen after this," Soobin said.

"Stay with me, please," Jin said.

"Why? Are you already in love with me?" Soobin said with a weak smile on his face.

"Yes, I've fallen in love with you so don't leave me, you have to take responsibility for making me fall in love with you," Jin said and Soobin wiped the tears off Jin's cheeks.

"Finally," Soobin said and Jin immediately kissed him, making Soobin close his eyes and return Jin's warm kiss.

"Please stay with me," Jin said and Soobin just nodded.
