31 | THIRTY-ONE

Jimin tapped his fingers continuously on his knee as he sat on the bed covered with with clean white sheets, eyes fixed on the ground while his mind went away from reality.

He was nervous.

No, he was scared.

The surgery would be performed in the evening and the ticking of the clock make him felt more fidgety. The surgery; he only had fifty percent survival rate, he was scared that the surgery might not be successful and take away his life. He don't want to die at this young age, where he was supposed to be working, have fun like the other adults. In fact, he never expected that he was fated to be like this, sitting on the bed as a patient.

With all the scary thoughts occupying his mind, he brought up his hand that the fingers he tapped on his knee previously to his mouth, and started to bite on his short nails.

But before the negative thoughts roamed any more deeper, the sound of the door sliding open echoed in his eardrums yet he didn't turn his head due the nervousness he currently felt.

"Jimin-ah? You okay?" The manly voice asked. Judging from the deep voice he had, and the fact that he called him using his real name, Jimin immediately know that it was Taehyung who entered his room. "No, you aren't. Who would be excited for surgeries? Kim Taehyung, you're such a fool," He answered to his own question, hitting his own head lightly.

He approached Jimin's bed, flopping down on the chair next to it. He looked into the other male's face, eyes soften as he was also nervous for Jimin. But, what he felt is never the same compared to Jimin; the one who's going under the lights, scalpel cutting his flesh to access the tumor he had and the one who's life is threatened by his own disease.

"Jimin-ah," he called, and the other lifted up his head to face him. Taehyung cleared his throat. "Look, i know you're nervous. I am too but i know it is not the same compared to yours. But being nervous will not help in this case, it might worsen the situation. I-"

"What if the surgery is not successful? What can i do? My family haven't even know about this. They'll be so sad and devastated when they found out that their only son is suffering from brain tumor and died from the failed surgery," Jimin interrupted Taehyung, voice cracking as tears started filled his eyes up to the brim, threatening to fall.

Seeing Jimin who started to cry, Taehyung quickly got up from his seat and pull the latter into his embrace. Hoping that it will calm him down and let go of all the feelings he felt. He gently stroked the his back up and down as Jimin quietly sobbed in his chest, wetting his uniform with his tears.

"Shh, it's okay. It's okay, alright? You'll make it. You'll survive. You're my bestfriend for twelve years, i know you'll make it. I've known you as the strongest person that i ever have in my whole life. You will make it. You are Doctor Park. And Doctor Park is not the person who is weak and the person who would give up easily."
