2. "Catch you up."

"Jimin?"

At the sound of his name he turns around spotting the owner of the voice. At first he thinks his vision is messing around with him, but when the beautiful woman makes her way towards him with her trolley he realises that she's real. That her bright teary face is real.

"Andrea?" he calls allowing for the big grin to spread on his face. "I can't believe this right now," By an instant she wraps herself in his embrace.

"I thought you died," she whispers. "I saw you die," she says in an assuring manner.

"I saw myself dying. I felt myself dying. I did die-ish," He dryly chuckles. His action causes Andrea to retract from his warm hug. With sprinkles of tears in her eyes she eyes him down. "Oh god am I dreaming?" She chuckles as well.

He chuckles again, this time he hugs her. "No you're wide awake and I am very much alive,"

Before she can ask him anything she drags him to the till and pays for everything including the painkillers he has. "My treat,"

"Thank you," he smiles humbly.

They both walk out and find themselves sitting by the benches provided outside the pharmacy.

"It's good seeing you again. It's good seeing you alive," she says with the biggest smile on her face. Jimin's pale skin glows up with a smile and he nods his head. "How is this even possible? If you don't mind me asking,"

He clears his throat coughing a little, "I was sure I was dead. I felt it.. I died in my brothers arms. The last few seconds were really a blur.. but I really do remember my last heartbeat before I..."

She watches him as he leans on his elbow gazing down on the floor. "That must be so hard to even fathom,"

"It actually is.." he nods his head. "If I really was dead then the last memory I would have is of dying in my brothers arms. That's crazy," he shakes his head. "I woke up in the hospital bed. Apparently I was in a comma for 8 months. The firefighters found Yoongi and I in the burning house, but in our state, the way we looked was close to dead. They still tried though. They brought us out and straight to the paramedics. Yoongi was only in comma for 5 months. He compared to me was close to dying,"

Andrea's face tightens a bit just hearing about Yoongi. She just knew him as Agust. The rapist who raped Fiela. So that means that he was also alive.

"He had a bullet in his system but according to the doctors, the bullet didn't touch any of the most important vitals in his body so he was lucky. Unlike myself, I was covered in fire burns and had bad swellings all over my body," he shows the now faded burns on his arms. Andrea feels dejected seeing as his flesh was covered with gloomy spots as well as skin merged to each other. "However the part that still gets me is that I never died, I just passed out. The doctor said it was due to shock and being unable to handle the pain... apparently my body isn't strong enough with handle any harsh physical pain. My body is very weak and since the beatings N..Namjoon gave me.. my bodies strength has reduced greatly so now I'm very sensitive. Making it easier for sicknesses to attack me now.. but it's okay my mum has taken us back...well has taken me back home with her. Yoongi sorta ran away," His smile drops to a frown alerting Andrea immediately.

"Jimin what's wrong?" She asks feeling alarmed.

"I'm really sorry," he apologizes. "For everything we put you and your family through that day,"

"Jimin it's ok-"

"No its not okay!" He let's out looking at her in her eyes. "You and your sister- even your parents are scarred because of what we did to you-"

"You didn't do anything to me," Andrea says trying to look in his eyes.

"But still, we hurt you-"

"Jimin stop saying 'we', when you didn't even try to harm us. When everyone else chose to hurt us you did everything you could for that not to happen. Fiela and I are extremely grateful for what you did." he looks at her feeling less guilty. "Jimin, because of the fight you terribly endured Fiela and I are still alive and live happily,"

"It was a sacrifice," he feels less self-pity.

Andrea pulls him in for a hug. "The world didn't deserve to loose you," she says honestly.

They depart from each other and Jimin laughs a little, being relieved from a lot of stress.

"So how have you been holding on?" He asks letting out a breath of relief.

"Well for starters," she cheerfully smiles, she shows her left hand with the crystal jeweled ring on it.

Jimin's eyes lighten up in contentment.

"That's beautiful. That is so beautiful," Jimin comments ecstatically holding her hand in his so that he can admire the ring. "Will I get the chance to meet this luck guy?"

"You know him," She looks down at the ring remembering her sick husband dying of sickness on the bed. "Taehyung,"

He stops admiring her hand instead his eyes gaze off in her eyes. "Tell me you're joking?"

She laughs lightly. "I really love him and," her eyes glow up. "I know he'd be thrilled to see you," She exclaims excitedly.

"Really?" Jimin's eyes pop in shock. "I possibly can't... I can't... It's been so long. Will he even remember–"

"Yeah of course," she remarks. "Come over to our house on Friday.  It'll be amazing with Taehyung, Fiela and I," she continues.

Jimin is speechless but ecstatic at the same time. Meeting Taehyung would fill his heart with so much joy and peace. The friend who was always by his side when his real brother wasn't.

"We'll catch you up on everything and it'll be like the first day when we became friends back in varsity,"

A second chance with Andrea and her trust and also seeing his best friend Taehyung. He'd be dumb to miss this opportunity.

"Sure,"
