I Need U // Park Jimin

CHAPTER 9: Why?

-Melody's POV-
Jimin drove me back early at 10:00am today. I could've stayed for another day, but I'm going to a concert as a treat. Dad wanted to do something to lighten up the mood. Recently, all we would do was sleep, and stay at home doing nothing. We wanted to break through our depressing routine that had suddenly appeared.
I'm going to watch Ariana grande - I'm so excited!

"Dad! I'm home!" I exclaimed.
"Hi honey, did you have a good time at Jimin's?"
"Yea, I had a great time," I grinned at him, closing the door behind me.
"I can't wait to see Ariana!" Squealed Danielle, jumping up and down. Soon after, we exited the door again.

The journey to the arena was long and painful. It took an hour more than it should've taken. Cars were honking, and people were having quarrels with drivers behind them. But we weren't late, we left 4 hours before the actual concert started. Dad is very organised.

------------------------

"Hey guys! The first song is focus. Are you readyyy?" She shouted.
"YESSSS!" everyone was screaming. Fists pumped into the air, and screams filled the arena.

She started singing focus.

'Just come and get it,
Let them say what they say.
'Cus I'm about to put them all away'

SHES AMAZING.

SHES SO CUTE.

Next, it was 'one last time' , then followed by 'the way'.
She sang her songs one by one, not even one song at the concert that I didn't know the words to. My seat was near to the front, so at one point she made eye contact with me. That was one of the best parts.

That was the best concert I've been to so far. Ariana looked so beautiful, and is an incredible singer. It was 4:00pm. I feel so happy, I haven't felt like this in ages- after what had happened.
"Thank you dad," I gave him a hug. He needs it. What I mean is comfort.
"It's ok. I'm glad you enjoyed it," dad replied.
I felt sad. I get it, I understand - but whenever I try to be reassuring towards him, he would still sound weak and upset.
I always wonder, how could I make him happy? But now I know the answer. I can't make him happy. He's very sensitive, so I guess it'll take him a long time to recover.

My phone rang.

Call from: Jiminiee

I answered the phone.

"Hi Jimin! OMG the concert was amazing!!" I told him.
"That's good..." Jimin sounded cold and upset. His voice was trembling. There was definitely something wrong with him.
"Jimin, are you okay?" I was concerned.
"I have to tell you something. Come to my place," Jimin was sobbing. My heart broke, and started beating fast.

He hung up.

I was sweating by the time he ended the call. I was panicking again, that familiar feeling.
"Dad, can you drop me off at Jimin's? There's something wrong with him." I said, concerned.
" Y-Yes, but what happened?" He asked as we rushed into the car.
"Yea, what happened?" Danielle said too.
"I don't know, but I need to get there as soon as I can."
We put our seat belts and dad started the engine.

-Jimin's POV-

I don't even know if I can tell melody what happened. She's going to be heart broken. I suddenly feel guilty. A million thoughts came into my head - I shouldn't have called her for help. How will she react? I don't want to make her upset again. She's already got enough things to be sad about. Was this the right thing to do?

-Melody's POV-

The journey back only took an hour. Phew. I was still worried about Jimin though.
I was out of breath by the time I got to his door.
I was scared. I looked back at dad who nodded at me. Dad drove off to give me and Jimin some privacy. The door opened. Jimin's eyes were red and puffed up.
I could tell he had been crying for a long time.
"Oh Jimin," I looked deeply into his eyes. It really broke my heart to see him cry. I feel like he's a part of me. I put my hand on his cheek, wiping away his tears. I urgently needed to know what was wrong with him.

We walked into his room, and I gasped.

Everything was packed. I hoped it wouldn't be what I thought it was.

Jimin started to talk.
"My mum called me up this morning and told me that my dad got cancer. He has a tumour. The surgeons are doing an operation on him next Friday." His head was down, tears dropping onto the floor.

I ran and hugged him tight. He wrapped his arms around me. I felt his hands clenching.
"You don't deserve this, Jimin." I whispered with my head on his shoulder. I was nearly crying. I felt his pain, and fear.
"And I have to leave tomorrow to Korea." He dropped to the floor.

My eyes widened. My body froze.

I dropped to the floor with him. That's exactly what I didn't want to happen. This is so unfair.
"Jimin, don't leave me..." I cried. He's my best friend, but I love him.
"I don't want you to leave either melody," he sobbed , "I... I love you, but if we're living in different countries for the rest of our lives, it'll hurt you."

He said he loves me.

I cried louder.

Why? Why does life have to be so cruel?

I would never see him again. He came here just to study English, and now he's going. He's never coming back. What other reason would be good enough to ever come back to England anyway? He also has to work, and make music with BTS.

But his dad has cancer. I have to understand.

I have to let him go.
