Once in a Dream

10

"Jisoo.."

Jisoo nervously flinch as her name was called.

Mrs. Kim Sungyoon sat across her.

"You look more beautiful than ever." She said.

"T-thank you maam.." she said feeling her face getting warmer. "As you do too.."

She squeezed her hand and has a smile. "When I heard that Taehyung got a job at your school, I decided that I should go see you."

"I've been doing well.." Jisoo said, "H-how have you been?"

"Aish, dont act so formal! We were family, even if its just for a few months.."

***

She hears the sound of people running around.

The noise of the ambulance.

Taehyung's mom.

But her heart seems to have stopped.
Or was her time stopped? Because she cant seem to move.

There are many things happening around her but she doesnt understand a thing.

She was asleep, and she was awake at the same time.

The doctor was saying something but she doesnt seem to hear him.

She didnt want to wake up too, but unfortunately she's still here.

She tried going back to what she was doing before this, because maybe she'll know what happened.

Is it because she's strained herself from walking?

Is it because she didnt rest well that night?

Is it because their baby doesnt want her to be his mom???

"Jisoo." Taehyung's mom calls her and held her hands. "Breath.."

She is pale as a paper.

"Taehyung.." Jisoo asked, she's not sure if she was able to make a sound.

"He isnt here.. please understand." Taehyung's mom said with pleading voice. "Next week will be his licensure exams."

Of course she understands.

But their baby...

"You have to keep it in for a while alright?" Taehyung's mom said squeezing her hand, "just a few more days. We need to help him now.."

Taehyung's mom pleads to her.

Of course.. she understands.

She was silent as she looks at Taehyung's mom.

She's a mother who loves her son.

Jisoo understands.

So well.

And as much as she wants Taehyung at her side, she understands that Taehyung needs to focus on his future.

But she wished, with all her heart, that he is here.

But saying it feels like a crime. 

So she kept her little wish.

Deep within her heart.

She wished he was here because she is so scared.

~~~

Everything was a blur after that.

She was out of the hospital.

Then she went back to her apartment.
