Slowly I opened my eyes. Everything was blurry. I could slowly see a face which was in front of my eyes. I just realized where I was, I was in a hospital! I tried to stand up because I was in a panic. But then the doctor told the diagnosis. I couldn't believe it. ''Is it the end? Can't I stay with my own legs anymore?''. These were my only thoughts. ''There are ways to make you walk again'', said the doctor to me, ''But you must stay till you can walk again and another thing. If you're fit enough, you can use a wheelchair and go a bit outside. I let out a sigh and accepted his conditions.
4 days passed. Meanwhile, I could deal with that stupid wheelchair. On that day I decided to go outside. And it happened. A young man with a handsome face who seemed seriously ill walked past me. ''I think it's love at first sight.'', I muttered to myself. I decided to go and talk to him. I introduced myself to him and started a conversation. Everything went as planned, but I mostly stuttered. The good thing was, that he didn't find me strange. He softly smiled and said: '' My Name is Kim Seokjin but call me Jin. Nice to meet you.''
Since I have met him, I couldn't stop thinking of him. Every day, I rolled outside just to see him. Jin always sat on a bench and stared at the sky. I pitied him because he was coughing all the time. Slowly I rolled towards Jin and asked him what he likes. I found out that he likes to play the guitar. He also said that his birthday is in 3 days. We talked till the sky got darker and so, we went through the corridors form the hospitals. Then we reached Jin's door. He whispered me something. His words were: '' Thanks for being here with me. '', My face was red, my heart had never beaten so fast. ''I-I'm also thankful for it. '', I stuttered. Jin smiled and went into his room and I also went into my room.
The next day I went like any other day outside to look after Jin. But he wasn't there anymore. I had a bad feeling about it. I tried to roll as fast as possible. I expected the worst case. I opened the door. Slowly I rolled to his bed where he lied. My feelings were mixed. On the one hand I was happy that nothing happened to him, but on the other hand, I was worried that he got weaker. I asked him why he didn't go outside. Jin responded that he felt really weak, so he couldn't go out. I was in a panic and asked him tons of questions: ''Are you okay? Shall I call a doctor? Didn't you take your medicines?'' Jin smiled at me and gently stroked my hair. He calmed me down and said: '' It happens often that I get weak. Don't worry about me, I'll be fit soon.'' I was still unsure, but then Jin cracked a joke that made laugh. I stayed with him because I was really worried that something bad would hit him.
The following day, I called my friend to discuss something important. Tomorrow is Jin's Birthday. I planned to gift him a guitar and I'll propose to him. So, I asked my friend to get a nice guitar for me. I was really excited to celebrate his birthday. I entered Jin's room to see him. He was still in his bed. Jin greeted me with a big smile. I asked him what he's going to do for his Birthday. '' I won't do much for my birthday, but will you celebrate my birthday with me?'' I blushed and replied with a yes. I never saw him so happy before, but then the doctor appeared and wanted to do a check-up. I had to leave so I said bye to him and went outside. I stared at the sky. My only thoughts were that Jin gets better. Slowly I returned to my room and my friend waited in front of my door with the guitar. I let her in and we hid the guitar so that Jin won't get anything about the surprise. We talked a bit and she left. So I ate dinner. After finishing dinner, I went to bed, but then I heard a noise. It was Jin. He entered my room. I tried to stand up, but Jin stopped me. ''You don't have to, just lay down.'', Jin said. ''I just wanted to say that I can't wait to see you tomorrow. Come to my room, I'll wait for you. You never fail to make me happy. Anyways good night, see you tomorrow.'', he said with a blush on his cheeks. I also said goodnight and he left.
Finally, It's Jin's Birthday!! I woke up and quickly took the guitar to visit Jin. I was so happy to celebrate his birthday. When I arrived at his door, I took a deep breath and entered the room. My eyes went bigger. I dropped the guitar. I couldn't believe it. He wasn't here. I quickly roll to the receptionist and asked him where Jin is. He said that there is no person named Kim Seokjin is registered in this hospital. I was shocked. What happened to him. I slowly returned to my room and took the gift for Jin with me. I began to cry. My heart couldn't take it and I fainted. ''Where ever you are, thank you for everything Jin,'' I said it to myself before I closed my eyes.
