Blind || BTS Jungkook

Chapter 17: My Wish

Aeri's POV

There is something that I have to admit to myself: for the past couple of months, my head has always hurt and as a result of the stinging pain in my head, I would hide somewhere and hold my head until the throbbing pain disappears. I sometimes would feel dizzy, and my eyes would get blurry after that.

One day, I talked to my dad and told him that I need to see a doctor, but he said that I will be okay. He told me to rest a lot instead of using his money to see the doctor. Yeah. His money is precious to him, and I am less than billions of dollars to him. Wow, I'm such a proud daughter.

I was sitting with Jungkook at the benches when I came back from school. I laid my head on his shoulder while my right hand was intertwined with his left hand.

As usual, we talked about the things that were going on in our lives. I always told him stories of my family; like how my dad doesn't care about anything but himself, how I have a weird but good brother, and how my mom died. I even told him that I had a friend who betrayed me and framed me for putting a snake in her locker. However, I didn't tell him much about Taehyung, only the fact that I had a crush on him, but nothing else.

"You live in a rollercoaster," he said.

"Mhm," I replied. "I sure do. And I don't like it."

"You still have me," he said with a smile on his face.

I raised my head from laying on his shoulder and looked at him. I smiled and immediately gave him a kiss on the cheek. "I'm thankful I have you," I said to him with happiness in my tone. I managed to make him smile wider, showing his bunny teeth.

I slowly made my way to sit up straight, and turned my body facing him. There's this one question that I have in mind, and so I asked him, "Jungkook-ah." He slightly moved his head as a response. "What is the one thing that you wish for?"

He lowered his eyebrows. "Why do you ask?"

"Well, you gave me this necklace," I touched the little charm on my necklace, dangled around my neck, "So, I want to give you something too."

He was thinking for a moment, and said, "The one thing I want, is something that you won't be able to give me."

I tilted my head and lowered my eyebrows. "So, what is it?"

He gave me an answer with confidence, "Sight."

I stared at him for a while. "Is- is that what you really want?"

"Ne," he said.

I lowered my head, and frowned. He's right, I don't think I can give him that.

"My wish is to have sight," he said. "Just for you."

I raised my head and looked at him. A smile appeared on my face again. The words that he said made my eyes watery. I swear he makes me teary all the time.

"I love you for who you are," I said in a brittle tone. "Even if you did have sight, it doesn't make me love you more than I do right now. My love for you will always stay the same."

He slightly turned his head to me and said, "There's a reason why I want to be able to see." I stayed quiet, listening to him. "If I have eyes that can see, I would be able to see you. You're the one person who gives me a reason to have sight."

My hands were shaking, and my eyes fluttered bringing forth the tears. He's really that sweet, that's why I love him. I wiped my tears and leaned in close to him, giving him a kiss on the lips. I then wrapped my arms around him and said, "I love you."
