Spring Day | Taehyung

requested by _Helldom_

my big comeback :)

also, I don't really understand what the hanahaki disease is, so pardon me if I'm wrong 

————————

Pink.

Blue.

White.

Red.

Haerin stared at the flower petals in her hand. The soft petals were colored in soft hues of blue, pink, and white and stained by the crimson drops of blood.

She dumped them into the bin next to her bed, the petals joining those that came before. 

Haerin sighed and stared out of the window. It was a bright morning, no clouds in sight, and the flowers were in bloom.

What a sad day.

The door slid open to reveal a doctor clad in white. Haerin turned around and smiled weakly at the man.

"What's my condition like today, Dr. Lim?"

Dr. Lim grimaced and took a deep breath.

"You need to take surgery within a week or else-"

"I'll die." Haerin interrupted him, fully knowing the consequences.

He solemnly nodded and handed her a paper. 

"As I said before, please consider the other option."

Haerin only smiled and bid the doctor goodbye. She glanced at the form again and saw her name clearly printed at the top.

"Jung Haerin, 22 years old, condition: Hanahaki disease..."

Hanahaki disease, or one-sided love, was a disease formed when one suffers from unrequited love. The affected cough or throw up flower petals and can get rid of it in two ways: one, get surgery but never love the person he/she loves again, or the other must reciprocate the affected's feelings.

Otherwise, the flowers that grow in the respiratory system will keep growing until the victim dies from suffocation.

What a sad way to end.

In Haerin's case, the person she loved was her close friend from college.

Kim Taehyung.

And she didn't want to give up just yet.

-----------------------------

"Kim Taehyung, wake up."

The black-haired man groaned as he tried to swat away his roommate, Jimin. The other male just sighed and shook him harder.

"Taehyung, wake up. There's news I think you'd want to hear."

Taehyung perked up at his roommate's soft and sad voice. He sat up in his bed and checked the clock. 

9:34 am.

"What?" The younger male rubbed his eyes to get rid of his sleepiness; he hadn't been sleeping well since Haerin was admitted to the hospital a month ago.

Jimin fiddled with his fingers and shuffled from side to side, which agitated Taehyung.

"Come on, out with it! What's the news that I should hear?"
