Butterfly『Section 16』

 『Section 16』

The sound of a steady beeping swayed me awake from my dark space. For almost hours, I had fallen into a state of unconsciousness. As I forced my eyelids to part, my vision started to fade into view.

One on side, I could see Anha, Jimin, and Jungkook. On the other I could see Jin, Hoseok, and Yoongi. All of their faces were outlined with anticipation and fear. Anha's eyes were glassy and her chin was wobbling.

"Hey guys", I croaked, managing to prop myself up against the hospital bed. Jimin immediately reached out to help me sit up, wrapping his arm around my shoulder. I smiled at him to express my thanks.

"Sorry guys, I made you worry too much", I chuckled, trying to look apologetic.

"Damn right you did you idiot", Anha yelled, tears flowing down her face while Jungkook tried to calm her down with a hand on her shoulder.

"Aww come here", I held my arms out towards her, signaling her to come into my embrace.

After her endless nagging, I saw my mom sitting at the back of the room, fast asleep. Something filled with sadness engulfed the entirety of my body, and I felt bad. She stopped her own work to come look after me. Anha told me she was here all night, sitting next to me, watching me. Even though I felt immense love, I felt like I was a burden to her. In that moment, I promised myself I would work as hard as I could to make her proud.

"Oh by the way, Namjoon's getting you lunch", Anha said, sitting down on the mattress next to me.

More than that, I was wondering where a certain person went. Of course, he was the last face I saw before I passed out, and it didn't look pleasant.

As if Jimin read my mind, "Taehyung was here, he just left a couple hours ago, he had some work to catch up on".

I nodded, feeling a little disturbed because of his perfect timing. All my coworkers gave me bouquets of flowers and left, wishing me the best for recovery. I was glad they didn't ask what happened, it wasn't something I was willing to talk about yet.

I ate lunch in peace and I forced my mom to leave, even though she argued to stay. Anha and Namjoon got back to their daily schedules after I persisted, making me alone with Jimin.

Walking around the hospital with my IV tube on a pole with wheels, Jimin accompanied me in silence.

"So aren't you going to get back to the office?", I asked, glancing at him warily.

"Not today, I feel a little unsettled today", he said, looking at the ground.

"What is it, I know something's on your mind", I asked again, fixing my shabby hospital clothes.

"Let's sit down first".

**********

We were at the small cafe in the hospital, sitting across from one another. He anxiously tapped his fingers on the table, making soft rapping sounds. I noticed he did this when he was nervous, which made me equally anxious.

"Mina, I have something to tell you", he said, finally breaking the unbearably awkward silence. I missed when he used to talk to me, without a care. After I attended that party, the friendly relation between me and him slowly broke down. Everything broke down and he stopped texting me.

"Tell me", I set my head between my hands, which were propped up on the table surface.

"I think Taehyung is in love with you"
