Candy Boy (COMPLETED!)

Chapter 8- Sweater paws

You woke up and sat up, dragging your IV rack and feeding tube with you to the bathroom.  After freshening up, you removed your hospital gown and stared at the now dangling feeding tube that was tucked into your shirt. Uncomfortable about privacy you kept the door locked as you changed the tube and put back on some black leggings and a huge grey turtleneck sweater. Wearing your hair in a messy bun, you slipped your pink bunny slippers on before leaving. You shuffled back into your room and found the boys sitting there, looking worried but relieved when they saw your skeletal figure, them your IVs and feeding tube.

 You read this and decided they really cared for you, even if you didn't want to be here, they wanted you here. So you smiled and hugged them all, even if you were dying inside. Jin helped you take your anti-depressants and then left with Jungkook to take him to school, and go to work. Jimin changed job to Jin's café, so he was allowed to stay with you on his given days off. He sat on the bed with you and cuddled with you. He smelled of vanilla and safety, so you decided to open up about everything you were feeling. He just held you tighter and you realised his shoulders shaking. He was crying for you. Then he whispered,

"Mimi, you're too beautiful and precious for this world....You're just so innocent and cute with your sweater paws and how you cuddle to my chest like a little kitten. I just feel so scared when I see you so bony, with all the IVs and tubes and- I wonder why I couldn't save you, couldn't stop it all, or how I couldn't help you as you panicked over everything ,,,because I was too busy shaking and whimpering like a little baby. I just feel the need to protect you now, please let us all protect you from the demons, my little cinnamon roll..." 

Those words made you freeze. You then smiled and kissed him on the forehead, and tapping your cheek where the tube was taped.

"Don't worry chim-chim, I'll be okay. I'm going to make it because you guys are my everything and I wanna see you everyday. Plus- who will be the sleepy kitten with sweater paws and fluffy hair that greets you every morning? And who will be your Mimi or you're cinnamon roll? Or how about you're little mochi, or-"

He laughed and sniffled, ruffling your hair.

"Okay stop Mimi, I get it! *gently holds your shoulders and looks you in the eyes* but seriously, I need you Kiddo, don't leave me with no warm plushie every morning. Life wouldn't be worth living without our angel. Jungkook wouldn't cope, and Jin would cry like a baby for weeks, probably die from heartbreak. *your eyes got teary as you smiled still* And most importantly, please keep that smile, you own all three of our hearts, please care for them and keep them beating along with yours!"

You hugged him so tightly then, and you stayed silently crying and hugging for a while, before you started to sing.(Shawn Mendes- A Little Too Much)

"Sometimes It all gets a little too much, But you gotta, Realise that soon the fog will clear up, And you don't have to be afraid~ because we're all the same~ And we know that, sometimes it all gets a little too much~...."

Then you let go and got up. You told him you were going to play guitar because you had pent up emotion to let go. He followed you as you slowly and weakly limped to the receptionist counter, dragging your IV rack behind you. The nurse scolded you for being on walk-a-bout but you just giggled and asked for a guitar. The nurse nodded and rang Jin. They arrived back from school/work with your guitar. You hugged and greeted them, then played songs with them and sang for a while. But what you didn't know was that it was the last night you'd be spending at the hospital. And you'd be moving to Seoul and living in an ED recovery house. And you were so oblivious, smiling, laughing, singing and enjoying your friends company.
