"no," yoongi shook his head. "you can't be prettyㅡi won't allow you to be pretty."

"that isn't really the nicest thing to say to a girl."

"you're the ugliest person i know."

jiraen raised an eyebrow, "i came from my checkup and this is what i get as soon as i come back?" she laughed, "how sweet of you, yoongi."

"stop being sarcastic," he rolled his eyes.

"i learned from the master. what can i do?" she shrugged and laid down on the bed, "i'm tired. i'll take a napㅡnever mind, i'm going to sleep. good night, yoongi."

their conversation was ended there, but the male did not make any movements and just stayed in his place. he looked at the girl who had her back facing him and sighed.

"everything's going to be fine."

he whispered to no one in particular. or maybe he tried to make himself believe that.


everything wasn't fine.

to be honest, it's not even close.

days passed and she still was not getting better. chemotherapy treatments, checkups, doctor visitsㅡyoongi didn't like the sight of the girl being treated like fragile glassㅡbecause she was.

every time he would visit his room, he almost went back out because he thought he couldn't talk to her face to face. but guess who came back at almost every opportunity he could get?

hard question? how about a clue, his name starts with a yoon and ends with a gi.

it was as if he didn't have second stage cancer and was just a guardian for a patient named oh jiraen. he probably didn't even care a hundred percent about his health anymore.

right now, just right after his checkup, he's checking the three unread messages from sinhae. the nurse became their messenger and kept on relaying messages from one person to the other.

from: sinhae

she's inside the room for her checkup

from: sinhae

she's sleeping now

from: sinhae

she's inside her room. i'm out at the desk so i can't send anything

he sighed. this only meant one thing: she wasn't getting any better.

putting the phone back in his hospital attire's pocket and started to walk.  

if she was getting better, sinhae wouldn't send him these texts. actually, it's probably what she has been sending him for the past days. it was almost the same everydayㅡas if it was scheduled or planned.

getting off the lift, yoongi strolled to his room as quiet as he could. yes, he was still covered with a black jacket that seemed to make him more noticeable in because of all the hospital's whiteness.

he opened the door to his room and went inside, about to lay on his bed and watch television but one thing stopped him.

the curtains.

the male almost rolled his eyes. he didn't really like the curtain blinds being rolled up, especially during night. it wasn't because he's scared, though. 

it was because he didn't want people seeing him even though he's above the ground floor and people still couldn't see him clearly even if they wanted to.

but before he could near the windows, it suddenly opened, surprising yoongi.

he was about to exclaim and call for someone, but a figure jumped inside his room and let out a little holy heck! when that person landed.

yoongi looked at the girl in disbelief and didn't bother to say any more words. she stood up and brushed her clothes before putting her hair behind her ears, smiling widely.

"you must be the famous min yoongi!"

"what are youㅡ"

"let me introduce myself i'm oh jiraenㅡ"

he knitted his eyebrows, "you're not allowed here."

"as i was saying, i'm oh jiraen and i'm staying on that room!" she pointed upwards, "above yours!"

he stared at the person standing before him, mouth agape and face full of confusion.

she was still smiling, but was also panting a lot, trying to catch her breath. yoongi noticed her different appearance as he looked at her.

the girl lost weight, and that isn't really good news since it wasn't for a good cause, and her face was pale, so was her lips, but she tried covering that by licking it from time to time.

he opened his mouth to speak something, but closed it again, only to look for words to say. he did that for a few times, before he blinked at her thrice in a row.

"i'm calling the nurses."
