Persona

CHAPTER XLIII pt.2 : Her 43 hours

"EunByeol!!!!!" He jumped off his bed and welcomed me with a big hug

"You finally came!!!"

My cheeks became heated
"O-of course I wou-would. Why wouldn't I?"

He held me by the waist and flashed a bright smile to me
"I thought you left me...I thought you'll never come and visit me again...."

He dragged me to his bed and we sat there together

And to tell you the truth,

I'm really flustered

"I heard you know about your surgery....."

"Yeah, Nochu told me"

I snapped my head towards him "Nochu who?"

He laughed at me while I was completely confused

"It's kookie" He playfully hit my head

I sent a death glare at him and he just stick his tounge out

This little chicken......

"How do you feel about it? He said you agreed without even debating"

"As soon as I heard the sentence that 'you will be better' I already made up my mind. I didn't even let JungKook finish what he was saying, I just said yes countless times" He chuckled

"I thought you would reject the idea. I was worried for nothing"

"You remember the promise that I made to you right? Last Christmas?" Jimin's tone changed into a serious one, making me tense

I just nodded since no words were able to go leave my mouth

"Well, I will be making another one." He faced me completely; holding my hands on the process

"Once I'm better, I promise you that I won't be keeping my true self anymore.. I promise that I'll be who I really am.."

My heart felt lighter...

I was so relieved...

I was overwhelmed....

"Jimin-ah......." I threw myself at him and higged him super tight "make sure you're going to hold on to that promise ok?"

I felt his arms embracing me "Of course I will. I know that it will make you happy and I want you to be happy" He patted my head making me snuggle myself into him more

I'll miss this....

His scent....

His warmth...

His embrace...

I'll miss him..... So much....

I wish I could stay by his side..

But, it will be selfish of me..

It will be harder for me to leave him once I see his face without any problems...

Once I'll see his pure smile...
I'm not sure if I could leave anymore...

"And EunByeol-ah..." He broke the hug and held my face "I promise I'll be strong"

A huge smile crept on my face without me knowing

"So, what do you want to do today?" He got off his bed and started to stretch up

How do I want to spend the last 43 hours before he goes to his surgery?

"Let's play games?" I suggested and he was really happy at the idea

"I'll be back" I went out of the room to get the board games

Once I closed the door behind me, my eyes got teary again

The realization that it would practically be my last time with him hurts me....badly...

I would kill to stay with him...

"Let's not be selfish EunByeol-ah"

➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖

"YAH THAT'S CHEATING!" I pouted

He was surprisingly good at games

He kept on getting the bones from this scary sleeping bulldog while I keep on waking it up

"You just suck at it EunByeol." He teased making my pout even bigger

"Fine you win" I folded my arms at my chest "what's your dare?"

"I dare you to come with me to my surgery tomorrow" His eyes disappearing because of how big his smile was

I felt my heart drop... It pained me how I couldn't tell him that I can't....

I wanted to be honest with him but, I think leaving without a goodbye is for best...

"Jimin-ah that's...."

"I know" His smile dropped but, never leaving his face "you have job here at the ward and you'll probably busy"

He's so clueless......

"Yeah, there's a new patient that was assigned to me"

Let's play along....

"Then, I dare you to dance silly" He pulled me to stand while I was struggling to get off his grip

I had no choice once he sat down and I was awkwardly standing in front of him

"I'll give you some beats" He was already laughing while making some beats

I gave my all at dancing silly since this is my last time with him

I heard his genuine laugh...
His red face and his teary eyes because of laughing too much...
His struggle in catching his breath...

I hope he laughs like this everytime from now on....

I don't want this to end...

I want to stay by his side....
But...

I can't....
