Jimin's POV

He deserved better, way better. I should've never let go of him but I couldn't change it anymore. I loved him, hell, I loved him to the point where it scared me. Maybe that was the reason why I fell out.

He stood there, just smiling at me like his world revolves around me, maybe it did. How could he be able to not hate me to death for what I did to him? To top it off, he ran his fingers through his hair again, that one gesture...

"How can you just smile like that after all I did?"

"Because I am happy"

"Why? I only ever gave you pain"

"I'm at peace, Jimin"

"I'm glad. I'm glad that I was able to face you one last time, I want to apologize for what I did even though it's unforgivable"

"It's okay. I forgive you. I've forgiven you a long time ago, when I smiled at you one last time, when I saw your messed up lavender hair on that roof" I couldn't help but chuckle.

"You think it's lavender?"

"It's lavender-ish" He tilted his head and stared off into the gray cloud too engrossed to notice my stare on him.

"Are you ready to leave yet?"

"We really do have to leave, don't we?"

"Yes, I'm afraid this is where we part our ways" A tear flowed down his cheeks and he let it. It was glistening like emerald and I found it heartbreaking.

"Where do I go from here?"

"That is up to you, love"

"What do you mean?" My voice cracked at the end signalling the arrival of tears.

"It's up to you if you want to hold on to me or not. I've moved on to a better place, it's high time you move on too..." I felt it again. The feeling when Mark was about to go away, it forever latched onto my chest.

"Mark..."

"Let go of me, Jimin. There is someone waiting for you at the end of this tunnel" suddenly, the set changed. We were then standing inside a tunnel with only one open end. It was dark, the open end being the only source of light.

"But I love you..."

"You love him. Don't deny it, Jimin. Don't hold it back"

"I don't know..."

"You better decide quick, time is running out, Jimin"

Then, it was just me standing alone. He vanished into thin air, as if he was never there. So I did what my heart told me to. I followed the one I loved.






___

I'd be trivializing the fact that my head felt like 13 bullets were going through my head every second by simply stating that my head was pounding. Nonetheless, I somehow managed the strength to lift my eyelids doing my curious mind a favour. Speaking from past experiences, I should stop giving in to my curious self.

"I-is anyone t-there? Help me" The hardest I tried to form a sentence in years.

"Mr. Park? Can you hear me? Can you see me?" A woman in her late 20s started interrogating me.

"Yes! Yes, b-but my head..."

"Yeah! Just-just wait. I'll call Dr. Hyun!" She exclaimed clearly more excited than I was.

After what felt like years, Dr. Hyun finally came to check on me. He advised the other woman to sedate me and I fell into a deep slumber once again.
