You awake in the middle of the night to see Yoongi pacing around your hospital room, clearly unaware that your awake, eyes glaring at him.

As his eyes connect with yours you see the now dry tear stains across his face and a shade of red misting over his eyes.

"Baby... sit down. You are only worrying yourself." You say sitting up in your bed to face Yoongi better, assuming his worries are about Haru.

"It's not that I'm worried. It's just that... while you were sleeping, the doctors did some tests on you alongside Haru. You have the same heart complication that Haru has..." Yoongi says with a shaking voice and an aching heart.

You look down at your hands and let out a sigh of both sadness and guilt. You always knew this day would come you just never expected it to be so soon or so difficult.

"Yoongi.. I already knew.." you lift your head to look at Yoongi who's tears have begun to fall from his eyes once again.

"But why didn't you tell anyone? How was it not on your records?"

"I was diagnosed with the condition at 4 years old. As I grew older, I started to get more and more compilations. I would be hospitalised for months at a time. I was in hospital and my friends would visit, I would tell the nurses not to give any information away. I didn't want to hurt anyone. Even when I had an operation with a 15% chance of survival, I wouldn't let anyone know. I had a mystery illness or at least that's what people were told. Ever since then, nurses have been given strict orders not to disclose any information about it. Not even to you. I'm sorry, I was selfish."

"But... How has it not effected you now? You seem healthy to me." His words make you give out a bitter yet sad laugh.

"I'm not healthy. The pain can sometime be unbearable but I just have to smile and go on with my day. I've been lying the whole time. When I was in a coma... it wasn't shock that was the cause... it was my heart failing on me. A minor heart attack. That's why I collapsed and became cold. The only way to save me was a medically induced coma." You look up at the ceiling letting a single tear fall from your right eye.

Yoongi rests his head onto your shoulder as he sobs.

"I'm sorry I never told you... I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I'm sorry." You whisper out in slight gasps.

"Please... don't apologise. I'm just shocked that you have such a serious illness but yet.. you lead such a happy life." Yoongi says quietly, trying to mask his tears.

"There are secrets behind every smile. Some smiles can hold the darkest secrets of them all. Never forget that." You say stroking Yoongi's hair as he listens to your heart beat.

Before the evening, you and Yoongi decide to visit Haru. As you walk to her area you see her in even more wires and machines.

"I'm sorry baby. It's all mummy's fault that you have to be hurt like this. I know it hurts but it will get better soon. The doctors will help you." You say stroking her fragile hand.

In her incubator lies a little brown teddy bear that Namjoon bought for her at her birth.

While Yoongi takes his opportunity to touch Haru'a hands through the glass, you read through her records looking for something very specific.

"Bingo." You say as your finger glides over the messy doctors notes.
