She clutch the plush doll tightly to her chest and fell asleep under the night sky, letting go of whatever will she have left to hang on. Either she is found dead tomorrow or not, it didn't matter. Nothing matter because that was how it was already...
The heart monitor beeped and the strong scent of disinfectant wandered around the room. It danced underneath our noses and then danced out of the room to mix with the other smells. Jungkook's parents had left us to be with him while they ran some errand.
Jungkook laid on the hospital bed, breathing but not comprehending. His lashes were kissing the skin underneath his eyes and the color of his face remain lively.
"He's never getting back up...is he?" I whisper out even though the answer was obvious.
V didn't respond. He just sat by my side and listened because no word could comfort how I feel. We have been friends since childhood and though there were more downs than ups, he was after all still my first friend to accept me for me beside V.
"...And you can't heal him, can you?" I ask this time unsure of this question.
"No. I could if you want me to." He stared at me, the spark in his eyes show a hint of hollowness.
I felt a rise of hope at the pit of my stomach along with a sudden growth of guilt. The guilt came from the smile that spread on my face while V had on a frown. The guilt of smiling when the bubbly alien was sad.
"What's wrong?" I ask, smile disappearing within seconds.
A small crooked smile. "Hmm..nothing."
He continues to stare at me through those brown eyes that were in the shadows of his bangs. His lips still showing the small smile as he walk to me. V's hands cup my face gently and brought his face up to mine. My neck was stretched and my chin up high. V was still smiling but his eyes told me he wasn't feeling comfortable wearing the smile.
"It is my job...so I guess I have to do it." He whisper out to me.
"Even if I didn't want to do it." He mumbled more to himself than me.
He pulls away and took a few steps back to inspect me full on. Then without another word, he left the room with my bag to only return minutes later with some triangle kimbap. He quickly shove half of the kimbap into his mouth, too happy with his food to realize I was smiling at him.
Seconds past and he still haven't even notice me still staring. He just continuously stuff his mouth considering how little space there was left.
"V...slow down." I smiled at him as he innocently look up to me with big round eyes almost like my presence was oknown until I spoke to him. "You might choke."

He mumbled something and realizing that I didn't understand him one bit, he quickly slow the food in his mouth down.
After drinking a bottle of strawberry milk, he turns to me. "I have to eat as much of these delicious food before I go back."
V box smile at me then took a vicious bite at the third triangle kimbap along with sipping the second bottle of strawberry milk. After a hard swallow, V turns his attention back to me, his eyes no longer look sad or empty but had the same spark that morning when we first met each other.
And with a small smile, he speaks. "I might not return...even if I want to."
