Breath of the Sea

Chapter 3

Taehyung P.O.V.

After I got back to my house my parents hugged me immediately

"How are you feeling? Are you alright?" Jin asked

"Yes eomma, I'm fine" I say nodding

"We just want to make sure you aren't putting your health at risk" Namjoon says rubbing my back

" I know, I'm careful with what I do" I say

Just because I have pulmonary fibrosis doesn't mean I can't do anything without my health being at risk, but apparently that doesn't mean anything to my parents

They always feel the need to make sure I don't "risk my health" and I hate it, they never let me go out without them knowing who I'm going with and what exactly it is that I'm doing

I move away from them and look through the fridge to find something I can eat

"So, what's been going on at school lately?" Jin asks

"I finally met Jungkook today" I mutter

Namjoon frowns "That player boy that you've had a crush on the past couple years?"

I blush at his comment "Yes appa, that's him"

They nod and talk quietly to each other, making it impossible for me to hear

Rolling my eyes at them I go to my room, running out of breath by the time I get there resulting in having to sit on my bed, putting on my cannula

Having Pulmonary Fibrosis makes it so hard to breathe...

A ding from my phone takes me out of my thoughts, and I turn on my phone screen to see a text message from Jimin

'So, can you come to the bonfire?'

I forgot to see if I can go to the bonfire ...should I even ask? They'll definitely say no because of the smoke from the burning wood, plus there'll probably be a lot of people there

'Sorry, I forgot to ask'

After the message sent I put down my phone and lay down on my bed

Jungkook didn't seem as bad as people make him out to be ...I know he is a player and only talks to girls to get in their pants, but when he was talking to me he seemed almost ...shy?

What are you talking about Taehyung? He wasn't shy ...why would anyone be shy around you?

Having been deeply in thought, I didn't even notice that eomma was sitting next to me on the bed

"Tae?" He asks gently

"Yes eomma?" I ask finally looking at him

"Are you alright?" He asks noticing the cannula still under my nose

I sigh and nod, taking the cannula off "Yes eomma I'm fine"

"You seem upset" He says, brushing his hand through my hair

"There's a bonfire tomorrow night at school and I really want to go. Jimin and Hobi will be there, Jungkook might be there too ...but I was too afraid to ask since I know you and appa won't want me to go" I say looking away

"Let me talk to your father" Jin says getting up

I quickly look over in confusion

"You mean I actually might be able to go?"

"It's not a for sure yes, but I will talk to Namjoon. We have sheltered you for so long and I feel like we've kept you from doing so much since we were so focused on you staying healthy" Jin says as tears gather in his eyes

I take his hand in my own

"I'm thankful that you want me to be safe and healthy, but I do feel like I'm unable to do the things I want to do ...if you wouldn't mind talking to appa about it I would really appreciate it"

Jin nods as he heads out of the room

I text Jimin

'Eomma and appa are going to discuss if I can come to the bonfire ...I'm hopeful'

Once I send the message I decide to take a nap since meeting with my friends today took a lot out of me

As I lay in bed I think about how beautiful Jungkook is ...what I would give to have him as my boyfriend ...ahh Taehyung, where are your thoughts going? Jungkook is straight....

Sighing I fall asleep, and all too soon I'm being woken up by Jin

"Tae baby, dinner is ready"

After a while of eating quietly Namjoon clears his throat, and I look up at him expecting him to say something

I look up at him expecting him to say something

"Your eomma and I have discussed this quite a bit ...we think you should go to the bonfire tomorrow" He says

Before I'm able to respond he continues, "The only thing we ask is that you bring along an air tank and your cannula, just in case you need it"

I nod slowly processing everything he just said

I can go to the bonfire as long as I bring my air tank and cannula...

I GET TO GO TO THE BONFIRE!

I smile widely

"Thank you so much" I get up and hug both of them

Not even thinking about it I run up to my room and dive for my phone

Bad choice

Suddenly I'm wheezing for breath and my vision starts getting black dots around the edges

Jin and Namjoon burst into the room

I can tell Jin is crying as Namjoon hurriedly puts the cannula on me

After a while of breathing exercises with Namjoon I begin to calm down and breathe properly

"Baby, you have to be careful... we don't want you to end up in the hospital again" Namjoon says stroking my hair

I nod slowly as I regain a proper breathing pattern

I text Jimin

'They said I can go to the bonfire tomorrow!'

'I'm so happy for you Tae Tae!' Jimin responds, almost immediately

I smile and decide to watch videos until it was time for bed

I decide to look up the videos by Agust D, he's my favorite rapper. Appa likes to rap too, but I think I Agust D the best in the world. There's no song I hear that I feel sounds similar to another

Honestly I wish I could rap like them, but since I have trouble breathing on my own I don't think I'd be a very good rapper

Glancing at the clock a while later, I realize it's almost midnight and decide it's time for bed

Carefully I get ready for bed and lay down

I am excited that I am able to go to the bonfire but also,

I get to see Jungkook again
