"Your eyes are red and swollen. Tell me, did you cry, Jimin?"

Jimin's POV

"Good to see you here, Jimin." The doctor said as he saw me, while I only smiled sadly. "Or maybe not." He said, seeing my smile.

"What's up?"

I sighed before answering, "The pain is still in its routine. As I wake up, as I sleep, as I eat..sweets."

"You're starting to eat sweets again, Jimin?" He asked.

I gulped, "Yes...well...just a large cup of ice cream, that's all."

"I'm sure I've told you that even a single cup is not allowed." He scolded.

"Just once!" I whined.

"But you're just starting so once is not allowed."

I pouted at him while he just laughed at me.

"Did you come for the injection?"

"Eventually, no. But since I'm here, well, go on." I shrugged my shoulders and the doctor stood up to get the equipment while I prayed in my mind.

Lord, an injection again. Please help me to easily take away the pain. I'm afraid Lord, it hurts.

I've experienced this many times but the nervousness never left me when I saw the doctor coming with his hands bringing the injections.

"How many injections do you expect this time?" The doctor asked me.

I gulped involuntarily, "Three?" I answered, the common number of injections he injects.

"It's four."

I silently gasped.

"You're gonna regret eating a large cup of ice cream."

I'm not overreacting to the injection. Even the doctor admits that it's painful. Even he gets hurt whenever he injects it to me.

Four times of that deep injection? I'm sure the doctor has already concluded I'll be going home in tears.

Though, I've always been.

"AGH!" I groaned as he injects the first one at my shoulder.

It was so deep that I thought it reached my bone. The doctor placed a cotton on the part and I saw it getting red in an instant. The blood flows too fast.

"ARGH!" The doctor bit his lip as I screamed in pain. He expected the tears coming out from my eye.

And finally, the doctor was done. He organized all the things he used and left me for a minute, giving me time to cry.

I just cried out as loud as I can. No one will hear me, and that's what I want. I want to cry without anyone hearing me.

"Are you okay now?" The doctor went back.

"I think so," I sniffed as I answered.

"Do you regret eating sweets?" The doctor smirked at me.

"I still don't." I truthfully answered. In spite of the extreme pain, I still don't regret eating ice cream with Jennie. I don't know why.

"Let me check your heartbeat." That's when I recognized the stethoscope on his ears.

After listening to my heartbeat, I was surprised when he brought out a prescription slip and writes something on it.
