"I've a pretty good news for you," Jimin started as both of them were walking along the hallway that was brightly lit by the light bulbs hanging off the ceiling after visiting their patients' wards and doing the same routines of taking their health progress records.

"And what is it? Your tumor is gone?" The brown-haired male questioned. A wide smile is spread on his handsome and flawless face as he asks the question. Honestly, Jimin would say that Taehyung looked like a five year old kid that received a candy from their parents.

"No," Jimin denied. In his mind, he was wondering how would a tumor be gone without even having the person go under the scalpels in the operation room? A small, inaudible chuckle erupted from his mouth. Taehyung is a doctor too, why would he think such illogical things?

"Then?" Taehyung started to feel more curious. His lips were pressed together into a thin line, as one of his thick black eyebrow is raised, demanding an answer from the shorter man. "What is it?"

"I'll be undergoing the surgery for the removal of my tumor soon. Like, real soon," Jimin looked straight ahead of him, towards the nurse who's pushing a cart filled with medicines and smiled. The female nurse returned his smile with a shy one, pushing her loose strands of hair behind her ears using her index finger as she continued to push the cart past the two men.

"What? Seriously? Are you serious?" Taehyung questioned continuously, his mouth slightly hanging open at Jimin's statement just now. A look of disbelief and confusion is shown across his feature while a frown is formed on his forehead that is covered by his bangs. Jimin lets out a short sigh, why didn't Taehyung believe him? Does it look like he's lying? Or joking?

He looked at the taller male, staring directly into his brown orbs.

"Have you seen me laughing or giggling while telling you that?" asked Jimin, sentences that slipped off his tongue dripped with an obvious sarcasm. He then rolled his eyes in annoyance.

Taehyung stretched his lips widely as a response to the sarcasm from the other. He smiled from ear to ear, feeling emotions that are a mix of happiness and relief that his bestfriend finally made his mind to undergo the surgery after continuously pushing it back that time. But, while looking at Jimin, one question suddenly strikes at the back of his mind out of curiousity.

"Jimin-ah," he called out and the other only hummed in response, gesturing him to continue. "Aren't you going to tell your family about this? Your surgery?"

Jimin looked up, "Oh, you're right," He pursed his lips into a thin line, thinking his ways to his tell his parents about it without causing problems. "I think i will keep this as a secret for now. I'll tell them when it's near to my surgery date, maybe in that way it would be easier,"

"Bu- no, when will your surgery be though?" asks Taehyung again. Jimin stared at the wall infront of them, looking like he was thinking. Mirroring Jimin's action, Taehyung leaned against the wall and tilted his head to the side as he waited for his answer.

"Doctor Kang haven't confirmed it yet because she said this month is quite full with surgery schedules. Maybe at the end of this month? Next month, maybe?" Taehyung nodded simply, taking all his words and making sure to remember every single of it.

"But soon, right?" He blurted out, reconfirming.

"Yes, soon."
