"when i found out what you've been doing the past few days, starving yourself, working yourself out to the bone, i couldn't just stand and watch from afar. i'm sorry if i never had the guts to actually go to you before i was just afraid you'd know who i was and push me away."
jimin sighed as he spoke before he continued.
"i didn't want you to look at me and think that i'd just toy with your feelings. after i met you i just changed."
i thought about it.
what he is saying suddenly made sense.
there was a time when those who bullied me actually said sorry to me and i wondered as to why they did that. that didn't stop there though but atleast for some time i felt free.
jimin looked down and i just looked at him.
all this time someone did love me even before i became thin.
all this time i actually meant something to someone not because of my body.
after all this time someone actually cared about me.
i didn't have to think i went ahead and wrapped my thin arms around his torso.
"thank you."
it took a moment for him to process what i did but then he swung his arms and wrapped them around me.
right now nothing really mattered because i felt safe in his arm.
the fact that he loved me not because of what i am now but because of who i'll always be.
i pulled myself from our hug.
"okay so seriously you need to eat cause i can hear your stomach rumbling."
he laughed making his eyes almost like a thin line.
gosh how i loved his eye smile.
"maybe i'm up for it."
i laughed before gathering my things and heading out the door with jimin.
sometimes in life you think that nobody cares about you.
we all have those times but then i learned today that there will always be someone who cares about you without you even knowing.
suddenly a drop of sweat fell across my face.
i looked at jimin who smiled happily as he held my hand.
thank you park jimin.
thank you for loving me when no one did.
thank you for saving me from myself.
