❁thirteen❁

one hour, two hours, three hours and so on.

many hours passed but jungkook's grandma has yet to come out from the emergency room. he grew even more worried as time continued to pass. he walked in circles around the small area outside the emergency room, and would also constantly stretch his hair in frustration.

"hey, calm down." yerim soothed him, patting his back, then she continues, "lets go eat, how about that? you haven't ate since hours ago."

he shook his head and muttered quietly with his eyes on the door of the emergency room" I can't leave here, I need to stay."

he continued," I just can't believe how I didn't knew about her illness sooner, just how dumb can I be?-" his voice cracks, as his eyes got teary, tears threatening to roll out of his brown eyes. "-I should have known, from how she had been coughing so much, and how pale her face would usually get. I just don't understand how I didn't realise." he chuckled dryly, as those crystal clear tears burst out of his eyes, wetting his face.

yerim couldn't help but let him lay his head on her shoulders, as he wept, and her heart throbbed at the sight of his state. how the strong and courageous him disappeared and the him with her right at this moment was so weak and fragile, the side of him he had always tried to hide.

his grandma was diagnosed with lung cancer, which affected her breathing greatly, which caused her to often cough and have difficulties on breathing. and all these times, she would always lie to him, about how she was going to hang out with her friends when the truth was that she was going to her weekly doctor appointment instead.

''I just wished that I would have known all these much earlier, when I would be able to help out, take her to her appointments and gave her emotional support through these tough times."

"its not your fault at all, its not your fault for not knowing this earlier, she must have her reasons on not telling her condition. she must have not wanted you to disturb you." she tried to convince him, but it didn't work, instead he was in much more pain as his mind was flooded with images of his beloved grandma suffering.

the two looked up, upon hearing loud sounds. there were two nurses who were pushing a trolley with a defibrillator towards the emergency room where his grandmother was in.

jungkook stood up from his seat, with tears forming in his eyes as he got held of one of the nurses," please save her, please, I beg you." the nurse gently took his hands away from her as she gave him an uncertain smile before rushing back into the emergency room, "we will try, but please move out of the way, we need to get in the emergency room fast."

he fell on his knees, as he wept even more. he started to tremble a lot, as he muttered and slapped himself multiple of times, "this cant be true, this is a nightmare, this isn't true! come on, wake up, I don't want to stay in this nightmare, I hate this."

"stop it, jungkook. calm down, please, everything will be fine. just calm down, please." yerim took hold of his hand, stopping him from slapping himself even more, while her other hand cupped his cheek, as she wiped off the tears rolling down his eyes.

"no, this is a nightmare, this isn't real, this-" he continued to rumble, with his eyes closed and shaking his head continuously. "-jungkook, you need to stop panicking, calm down, please-"

before she could finish her words, the emergency room opened, revealing a trio of doctors, with an expression that was hard to tell.

jungkook did not hesitate but held onto the doctor who stood in the middle, as he stared at the doctor with his eyes filled with the slightest bit of hope left, but his world crashed into pieces when he heard those words he never wanted to hear come out from the doctor.

"i'm sorry, but she passed away."
