"Hyunmin-ah," he called out as he crouched down on the freshly-cut green grass. "Hyung is here to visit you, i'm really sorry that i didn't visit you here for a long time because i am too busy with my works lately. I have so much things to complete in a week, i have to check on my patients' progressions and also go through their files."

He played with the dried leaf he found laying near him. Crunching up the leaf, taking a new one then doing the same thing on it as he remained silent. "What you've told me before was right, being a doctor is surely stressful and absolutely tiring. But, eventhough it is hard, i still love my job. I'm proud that i achieved my dream," he said to the person infront of him.

He widened his lips slightly, forming it into a small smile as his mind recalls back the memories of him and his friends while they were younger, working extremely hard in his studies. Playing around during their teens' stage of life then get scolded together due to the troubles the three of them brought.

He found it funny at how both of them managed to be a doctor when they were once a mischievious boy in the past. Especially Taehyung, the boy who was the most rebellious among their small group.

Tears started to flood his eyes to the brim as the thought of the times he and Taehyung had spent with Hyunmin filled his head.

He gently caressed the head of the tombstone with his right palm and a single tear rolled down from his left eye. He then ran his thumb across the name engraved on the stone as he smiled slightly. "If you're still alive, if you make it that time, you could've been my collegue or my junior right now Hyunmin-ah,"

Jimin sat cross-legged across the boy's grave, which luckily was located next to a big tree with so many leaves that danced along the soft breeze. It protects Jimin and his bestfriend from the hot beating sun and that made him feel relieved as his bestfriend doesn't have to lie under the heat. He might sound crazy for feeling relieved for a grave that is protected from the sun rays by the big tree, but he didn't care all of that. All he wanted is his bestfriend to be happy wherever he were right now, and protected; eventhough it wasn't by him or Taehyung. He still thinks that his bestfriend is still standing beside him; listening to every words he blurted out. Also, giving him compliments for all his works and tell him some inspirational words to keep him motivated with his job.

"You know," Jimin gulped, his adam's apple bobbing up and down as he fiddled with the dried leaves. "During the last few months, i've suffered a very sharp and painful headache almost everyday that i even fainted due to it. Luckily, Taehyung was there when i lost my consciousness. Then, i decided to check it with Doctor Kang and you know what? I have glioblastoma, which is a very rare kind of brain tumor," He blinked his eyes once, letting a few tears fell to the soil covered with small grasses.

"I agreed to undergo the cyst removal surgery because Taehyung insisted that i should do it. But, the survival chances is only fifty percent. And it will be performed in the next two weeks." Jimin took a long breath through his nose before releasing it as a sigh from his mouth.

"Honestly, i am really nervous because no one knows, i might not survive from the surgery. We'll also never knew that i might follow you up there," More tears streamed down his face as he confessed.

While he was talking, his phone rang. He fished it out from his back pocket and looked at the caller ID. It was Taehyung who called him. He answered it and Taehyung asked where he was then requested him to return to the hospital. After saying okay, he stood up and gave a last look at the grave with his red and teary eyes.

"I have to go now. I'll visit you again after the surgery okay? I'll bring Taehyung along too, Goodbye,"
