"you can finally be discharged this morning." the doctor says, a wide smile spread on his face.
"kamsahmnida." i say,
at last, i could finally go home. i felt homesick and in general, just sick of lying in that damn hospital bed for a week.
this week that i've stayed in the hospital, i've regained to think about so much things and eventually figured my shit out. despite the hurt and anger that buried inside of me, deep down i knew that i still loved her. because of this 'love' that i felt, it created me into a monster. a monster that pushed all it's companions away when all they tried to do was help, but i was stubborn.
i get my belongings and follow the doctors out of the room with Taehyung escorting me along the way.
when we get to the main hall, my friends and my parents were waiting for me, not only that but i couldn't miss her. She stood there beside Hoseok while a smile was spread across her face, the smile that i always adored on her. Whenever she smiled, it made her more beautiful. She was like a firefly that lit up in the dark, so bright yet so beautiful.
i managed to give her a smile back, her expression totally taken aback while she looked surprised.
"take care jungkook."
"neh, i'll try." i joke, earning a few chuckles.
we make our way out of the building as a group while my hands intertwined with my eomma and my abeouji'd arm hanging on my shoulder.
"eomma, can i come home for a few days?" i blurt out,
"of course you can." she says, tighting her grip oh my hand.
once we made our way out, we stopped at the parking lot where our rides were waiting for us.
"we'll let the manager know, but just call one of us whenever you'll be back." says namjoon, being the leader he is.
i nod in response,
"gomawo."
i looked at the boys with a sincere smile, without hesitation pulling them into a hug.
"i'll see you all soon." i say.
my body shifted towards jiyoon, my head swung low as i just looked at her. she wasn't that tall nor short, but her height was cute and suitable for me. we both stared at each other, eyes glued on one another while i observed her chocolate brown eyes.
"kamsahmnida. for your support and efforts."
"especially staying till i got discharged." i say,
"it was no problem. i just had to stay until you were okay." she says hesitant.
"i'll see you around."
i wanted to pull her in a hug. a tight hug where her face buried on the crook on my neck while my chin rested on her head. just holding her and embracing her in a long and warmth hug. but, i couldn't.
a car pulled up the driveway, getting all of our attention. the window rolled down slowly and it revealed the face of a snake.
the snake that took her away from me.
she smiles lightly before hopping inside, leaving with a little wave which i returned. i envied wonwoo a lot. he gets to do all the things i'm suppose to be doing with her. now it's just the past that i can look on.
seeing them happy breaks me a lot, but if it meant Jiyoon being happy, i'm happy despite the pain.
