It was the first evning alone without my mother here. It made me anxious to think about how she might feel, all alone, trapped inside the four-wall hospital room.
I sat down in the sofa, and checked my phone for any messages.

My doorbell rang, and I went to open it up. It was Jimin. He was wearing comfortable clothes, and was carrying a bag. "Hello Jimin!" I said and opened the door, and he walked in. «I brought some snacks." He said and put the bag on the coffee table. "You wanna watch a movie or something?" He asked, and I agreed.
We sat down next to each other, and looked for a movie, he wanted to watch a scary movie, but I refused. "Please Eun Mee!" He said and pouted. "It's fucking scary, and I'm sleeping here alone tonight." I told him, and he sighed. "Can't I just stay over or something, if it makes you feel safer?" He then asked. That wasn't weird right? He was only a friend, nothing more. The thought of him sleeping over, still left butterflies in my stomach for some reason."Well okay then, but still-" He interrupted me by saying that I had agreed, so I couldn't change my mind. Fuck.
We started preparing all the delicious snacks he had kindly brought, and later got ready to watch the movie. I sat down beside him, and we started watching. As soon as it came something scary on the tv, I would seek his embrace. I kept hiding in his arms, throughout the whole movie. It didn't feel awkward or anything like that, it sort of felt safe.
The movie finally continued after an hour or so, and I left his arms to stretch. "I won't ever see a movie like that again." I said and took a deep breath. He only laughed and looked over at his phone. "It's 12.00 pm," He said and looked at me. "Do you want me stay for the night, or should I leave now?" He asked. "Of course you're staying over, I will never be able to sleep here alone after watching that scary crap!" He let out a grin. "I am going to go change now, you can use the bathroom in the meanwhile." I told him, and then walked to my room. Once I was done, Jimin knocked on. "Come in." I said.
After I went to the bathroom, I went to talk to Jimin. "Should I sleep on the sofa?" He asked. "No, no, no. You can sleep in my mother's bedroom across the hallway." He nodded, and looked me in the eyes. "Good night, Eun Mee. I hope everything works out for your mother, I really care for you." He smiles and turned around to walk towards my moms bedroom. "Thank you Jimin, good night." I said and walked into my room.
I laid down, but I was terrified. The memories of the horrific movie we had watched earlier, still couldn't get off my mind. Every time I would close my eyes, I would picture those scary clips from the movie. I had been trying to sleep for twenty minutes, but I wasn't brave enough to even turn off the lights. I decided to run over to where Jimin was sleeping, because I just could not be here alone.
I quickly ran towards the door, slammed it open, ran across the hallway, and into the other bedroom. I jumped on the bed, and quickly hid myself under the duvet. "Look who's here." He said with a sleepy voice. I snuck my head up from the duvet, and faced him. "I couldn't stop thinking about that movie, it was so scary." I said with my eyes widened. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have pushed you to watch it." He apologized.
I could not see much, due to the dark, but I could see a sleepy Jimin beside me, looking down and into my eyes. "It's okay, but I don't want to be in there alone." I told him, and he smiled a bit. He wrapped his arms around me, and closed his eyes. "Sweet dreams, Eun Mee."
