Why I Fight {BTS Fanfic}

Chapter 5: 10%

{Still Jimin's POV}

The news echoed through the room. Realization settled into us and J-Hope dropped to his knees with a blank face. He couldn't muster any emotion to fit the way he was feeling. We all huddled around him as he remained frozen on his knees.

I looked over to Dani and looked her over. Her smooth, tan skin and her adorable eyes. Her long eyelashes and crazy hair. J-Hope let out a shuddered sob as he rose to his feet and walked over to her.

"Hyung...She's not dead...yet," Eomma Jin smacked Namjoon Appa on the back of the head after he said that.

J-Hope didn't move. Didn't react. He just watched her breath in and out. Jungkook watched her too but J-Hope Hyung's gaze seemed more urgent and dire.

"She was amazing. Her voice. The way she gave off that crazy feeling. Her attitude and how her cold shoulder was so harsh, it'd give you frost bite. The way she would-" J-Hope's speech was interrupted.

"The hell is all this 'was' and 'would' stuff? I'm still here and still gonna kill you if you think I'm weak enough to have a silly sickness take me out," Dani's attitude rang true to what hyung had been saying about her.

We all lurched forwards to hug Dani and she smiled at us. J-Hope froze when she smiled,

"How can you smile at a time like this?!?! You have heart cancer and you're smiling!!!"

Dani glared heavily at him before shooing the rest of us away from her, "I'm not strong because I'm fighting it you pabo!!! I'm strong because I can find a way to smile even with it. Don't doubt me. I'll come back from the grave and kick your butt if I have to."

Jungkook grabbed her hand, "Don't talk like that. You aren't going anywhere. You can't leave us. Especially since Hoseok hyung would be an emotional mess..."

Everyone turned to J-Hope and he was checking her medical records that were in the tray outside her room on the wall. His eyes widened and he turned sharply to look at Dani with his mouth gaping open.

Her eyes widened as she began to squirm in an attempt to get up. Jungkook put his hand firmly on her collarbone to still her as J-Hope showed him the papers. Jungkook looked confused until Hoseok pointed at a section.

Dani tried to grab it but Jungkook held her down as he read. At this point, both boys were staring at her in shock as Hoseok hyung brought it to Suga. He pointed at the section and Suga stared at Dani. This continued until everyone had seen it except her.

Dani was on the brink of tears but she didn't show it in her facial expressions. We all looked at her and she stared at the wall opposite of her bed.

Her heart beat irregularly twice and we all reacted at the same time. J-Hope lunged for the call button on her bed while I ran to the monitor. Everyone else just lunged to her and kept her still while her entire body twitched majorly once.

Taehyung's hand landed hastily in her thigh when he lunged for her and she reacted as soon as she was normal again. Her hand smacked his and she pointed at him while he retreated.

J-Hope stared at the monitor and she threw her pillow at him, "Yah! Pabo. That's an effect the cancer has; irregular heartbeat. Relax. It's totally normal and nothing to worry about."

J-Hope became frantic, "Nothing to worry about!? I've seen your stats!! You have a 10% chance of survival, but don't worry, it's totally normal!! You basically twitched yourself off the bed, but relax."

____Dani's POV____

Hoseok spat my own words back at me. I was trying to stay calm for them all. I'd become an amazing actress with all my fake smiles and making up lies so others wouldn't worry. I didn't want to be a burden to others or them to treat me differently, so I never told anyone. Now here J-Hope is, slapping me across the face with my own words.
