jimin's pov

I arose to another day, actually getting excited for the coming events to come. I had already arranged plans prior to this day with Yoongi. We somehow bonded during these past few months and being with him felt somewhat amazing, like a whiff of fresh air had somewhat entered one's desolate life.

It was just going to be a walk around the hospital grounds again, but something so simple was simply something so worth cherishing every moment of having. I combed down my hair, brushed my teeth and did my normal routine of getting ready. I look to the window opposite mine, only to see it empty, with a big heap of blanket toppled amongst itself on the bed.

Yoongi must've left already, so I needed to hurry up. I dashed through the doors and ran down the stairs of stairs, avoiding the doctors, nurses and patients that roamed through the halls of the hospital. What would my doctor say about my reckless actions despite my body's condition? I couldn't care more or less as long as I got my ulterior motive, meeting Yoongi at the hospital grounds.

Out of breath by my final steps, I pant and huff with a face of total redness.

"Am I late?" I managed to spurt out in between my exhausted pants.

"Right on time" Yoongi replied with a cheeky grin on his face. "Would now be a good time to start our walk?" he asked patiently as he waited for my answer.

I nodded as a reply and stood up properly. We started to walk down the cobbled stone footpath as we by pass a big lake and other visitors walking on the grounds like we did. A silence filled the air between us but it wasn't like those awkward silences between people that needed to be broken, it was one of those silences that was comfortable and needed no words to be used, simply actions and the accompaniment of the other person.

It was us just simply taking long strides as we roamed the area of the grounds and what it further beholds. I bumped into Yoongi when he suddenly came to a halt.

"Do you want to sit down here?" I heard him ask as he motioned to a nearby bench that was placed right in front of a waterfall and overlooked the scenery of the entire garden grounds.

"S-sure" I replied as I hastily took a seat beside him.

He chuckled a little, only to continue saying "You know you interest me a lot," Yoongi stated.

"H-how so?" I replied, confused.

"I can simply never tell what's going on inside that head of yours, and half the time you seem to be in deep thoughts" he said before commencing onwards saying "But I think that's one of the things that I like about you."

"I-I like you t-too" was one of the things I wanted to say back to him, but in most cases the friendship we'd have would be broken and that is not something I'm risking to lose. Holding back this terrible feeling that I couldn't describe, I plaster an ingenuous smile, one that held back broken feelings, a broken heart and a broken soul, only to mutter an almost inaudible "thanks" back.

"Jimin, what do you want to be when you grow up?" Yoongi pipes up with a random question.

Aish, he really needs to calm down a notch with all the sudden questions because I'm on the verge of having a heart attack. Literally.

Those types of questions were the ones that I disliked since I was young. Mainly because of the fact that I'd never be given the chance to pursue it. Thinking those thoughts, I glared at a random patch on the ground only to be snapped back from them by a soothing, familiar voice.

"You really don't have to say it if it pains you that much Jimin" Yoongi stated in a soft voice. He rubbed my back and pulled me closer in a way of showing support.

"N-no, I think it's about time I told someone about it" I murmur as I lift my head up to look into his eyes.

"It's just that I really want to become a singer/performer, someone who can dance on stage and captivate the crowd, someone who can be a role model to their fans, as well as heal their agony and pain throughout the songs being made" I voiced out, followed by a sharp silence.

"So what's the reason behind this dream of yours that's stopping you?" he said in a bleak and monotone voice.

At that moment, all the reasons that I've been giving myself all these years seem deliriously stupid and shallow. Was it because of this condition and disease I had? Maybe the fact that someone like me, with absolutely nothing spectacular about them could never make it into the big cruel world, knowing that the moment I stepped in I'd crumble at the fatal reality coming towards me?

But what hit me the most was how those words sounded coming out of his mouth, and his mouth only. No one had ever even encouraged me or questioned me about my dreams or ultimate goal that was out of my reach, they didn't even care about it, not even my parents.

So why did it hurt so much now to know that no one really cared for me all my life?

And as if reading my mind, Yoongi fully embraced me in his warm, tender arms as he cooed "I care for you Jimin" into my ears. It all just suddenly happened, even with the fresh, crisp tears that cascaded down my face and ended up wetting the top of Yoongi's shirt.

"Jimin, if I told you I had the same dream as yours, would you perhaps, maybe want to perform together on stage one day?" he whispered into my ears, not breaking the embrace we were currently in.

W-we shared the s-same dream too? Being around him is already amazing, but performing on stage with him one day would honestly be my ultimate dream and best long distance goal I could ever have. Something that would definitely be one of the best days of my lonesome life.

Smiling a gentle, ease full smile I whisper back in his ears only to say "I'd love that Yoongi."

We stayed in each other's embrace until the sun went down, not needing anybody else, just him and I.
