The next morning, Jungkook carefully slipped out of Y/N's room, trying not to wake her. As he quietly closed the door behind him, he turned to find himself face-to-face with Y/N's father.Jungkook froze, his heart pounding. He opened his mouth to speak, but Y/N's father raised a hand to stop him."I understand now why Y/N has been so happy these days," her father said, a gentle smile on his face. "And I want you to know, I'm happy for that."Jungkook blinked, taken aback by the unexpected kindness. "Sir, I... I care about Y/N more than anything. I just want to be there for her."Y/N's father nodded, his expression thoughtful. "I can see that. She means the world to me, and it's clear she means the world to you too."Jungkook felt a wave of relief wash over him. "Thank you, sir. I promise I'll do everything I can to make her happy."Her father placed a reassuring hand on Jungkook's shoulder. "Just keep being there for her. That's all I ask."Jungkook nodded, his heart swelling with gratitude and respect. "I will, sir. I promise."With a final, understanding look, Y/N's father turned and walked away, leaving Jungkook standing in the hallway, his heart lighter than it had been in a long time. He knew that, no matter what challenges lay ahead, he had the support and trust of Y/N's family, and that made all the difference in the world.
As the morning sun filtered through the curtains, casting a soft, warm glow over Y/N's room, she slowly woke up, feeling the familiar ache in her body. The weight of her illness pressed down on her spirit, and as she blinked away the remnants of sleep, her heart filled with a deep, aching longing.
She turned to see Jungkook sitting beside her, his eyes filled with concern. He gently squeezed her hand, offering a reassuring smile. "Good morning, Y/N," he said softly.
Before she could respond, her father entered the room, carrying a tray with breakfast. He smiled gently at her, setting the tray on the bedside table. "Good morning, sweetheart," he said warmly.
Y/N tried to smile back, but the emotions she had been holding back for so long overwhelmed her. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she couldn't hold them back any longer. She began to sob, her cries growing louder and more desperate.
Her father and Jungkook exchanged worried glances before her father sat down on the edge of the bed, pulling her into a comforting embrace. "Y/N, what's wrong?" he asked, his voice filled with concern.
"I want to survive, Dad," Y/N sobbed, clutching his shirt tightly. "I don't want to die. I want to live. I want to see the world, to experience everything life has to offer. I want to have a future."
Her father's eyes filled with tears as he held her close, his heart breaking at her words. "I know, sweetheart," he whispered, his voice thick with emotion. "I know. We all want that for you. We're doing everything we can."
"It's not fair," Y/N cried, her voice breaking. "Why does it have to be like this? Why can't we have more time?"
Her father gently stroked her hair, trying to soothe her. "Life isn't fair sometimes," he said softly. "But you're strong, Y/N. You've always been strong. And we're here for you, every step of the way."
Jungkook moved closer, his own eyes filled with tears. "Y/N," he said quietly, "we can't change what's happening, but we can make the most of the time we have. We can fill our days with love and joy."
Y/N pulled back slightly, looking up at her father and then at Jungkook. "I'm so scared," she admitted, her voice barely a whisper. "I don't want to leave you."
Her father kissed her forehead, his tears mingling with hers. "And we don't want to lose you, sweetheart," he said, his voice trembling. "But no matter what happens, we're here for you. You're not alone."
Jungkook nodded, his expression determined. "We'll face this together, Y/N. Every step of the way."
They held her tightly, offering their love and support as she cried. In that moment, surrounded by the warmth of their embrace, Y/N found a small measure of comfort. The future was uncertain, but she knew she wasn't alone.
Her father wiped away her tears, looking into her eyes with a tender smile. "Let's make today special," he said, his voice filled with determination. "Let's do something you've always wanted to do. Let's create a memory that will last forever."
Y/N managed a small smile through her tears, nodding. "Okay," she agreed, her voice still shaky but filled with a newfound strength. "Let's make today count."
And with that promise, they began their day, determined to create moments of joy and love that would shine brightly, no matter what the future held.
