Chapter 42

Hoseok nervously pulled on his fingers as he stood in front of the hospital. He took a couple deep breaths before he walked inside and tried his best to ask for Jimin. "D-Do you... have... a Park Jimin... here in this place?" He asked the lady at the front desk. The nurse smiled at him warmly. "We have a Mr. Park in room 455. Could you put your name down here?" She asked as she pointed to the clipboard next to Hoseok's hands.

He glanced over at it before he wrote his name down in Hangul at first before he realized to write it in English. He gave her a small smile as she handed him a visitor sticker. "He's in room 455, you can go ahead up." She said. Hoseok nodded and thanked her before he headed towards the elevators.

Hoseok slowly walked down the corridor to room 455. He finally found the room and stood outside of it, glancing in the small window on the door. Hoseok saw a woman sitting next to someone holding their hand as she cried. Hoseok furrowed his eyebrows before he jumped a bit as someone called out his name. "Hoseok-hyung? What are you doing here?" Jimin asked as he walked up to him.

Hoseok looked in the window before he looked at the younger male and hugged him tightly. Jimin blushed and furrowed his eyebrows before he hugged him back. "You okay?" Jimin asked. Hoseok nodded. "I wanted to talk, but we can talk later." Jimin smiled. "It's okay, let me just drop my mom's food off and we'll talk." Jimin said before he walked inside. Hoseok followed close behind. Jimin's mother kept her back turned to the boys as the curtain blocked their view from seeing the man's face. "Jimin?" She asked.

Jimin reached out and gently squeezed her shoulder. "Yeah, it's me, mum. I brought your food and a mate from my school in Seoul." Hoseok watched as she wiped at her face before she turned and smiled at them, the room was dark enough to hide her red puffy eyes, but Hoseok knew better. She smiled at them. "Oh how wonderful! He came all the way here to be with you?"

Jimin looked at Hoseok before he nodded and smiled. Jimin leaned down a bit and whispered into her ear. "He's the ONE." His mother looked back up at him as he pulled away before she looked over at Hoseok. "THE one? Really?" Jimin blushed and nodded. Hoseok watched as she bowed a bit and greeted him in Korean. Hoseok smiled a bit and bowed back before she smiled up at Jimin. "He's very cute and handsome. Good job, son." She said with a wink and in Korean which caused both boys to blush.

Jimin lightly cleared his throat. "We're going to go talk... in the little lobby out here. I'll be back, okay?" His mother nodded. "Oh and once you're finished, call your brother and get him over here please." Jimin nodded before he walked to the door. "Hoseok, could you please stay for a moment. Jimin, you can leave I need to speak with him." His mother said.

Jimin's eyes widened. "Oh god, mum... please don't embarrass me!" Jimin's mother smiled and gently waved him off. "Nonsense. Now go, wait outside for him!" Jimin sighed before he left. Hoseok walked up to Jimin's mother and gently took her hand. "I am so sorry for your loss." Hoseok said softly.

Jimin's mother smiled through her new tears that were coming through. "Thank you, sweet boy. Now please, don't bring it up to him and don't let him come back in until you two have straightened things out... you love my son, right?" She asked. Hoseok felt his own tears building up as he looked into her eyes. "I love him more than anything in the world." Hoseok whispered.

Jimin's mother smiled and nodded. "Please look after him, I know he's completely head-over-heels for you. Work things out no matter how tough they get. You'll both be happy in the long run and letting go won't be too baring on your heart." Hoseok nodded before he gently gave her a brief hug. "Thank you." Hoseok whispered. Jimin's mother smiled. "Thank you for bringing my son happiness. Now go, talk to him." She whispered back.

Hoseok gave her a soft smiled before he gently let go of her and walked out to Jimin. The younger took his hand and lead him down to a small empty waiting area. They sat down next to each other. Hoseok gently reached up and slowly ran his fingers through Jimin's hair. "I missed you." Jimin whispered. "Hyung, I'm sorry-" "No, Jimin... I'm sorry." Hoseok said as he interrupted.

"I'm sorry for letting my past affect my present... my future with you. You are not my mother, I know that... But it still terrifies me. The thought of losing you because of something I did or lacked at doing terrifies me more. Like how I didn't think this was a family emergency! I should of went to that conclusion first and I am so sorry I didn't. I'm sorry for not answering your calls or going after you right away... following every footstep and chasing after you. I sat and thought about why I hadn't done it... why wouldn't I do something for you that I know deep down you would do for me in a heart beat. And it came down to me being scared... and not scared of you... scared of myself. Scared of facing my wrong decisions in not following you here, not answering your calls and texts. I was being selfish in trying to protect myself, but only ended up hurting us both and I will forever be so sorry to you... and I hope you can forgive me... because I love you more than anything in this world." Hosoek finished with a whisper.

Jimin watched as the elder wiped away his tears and looked down at the ground. He smiled before he gently took Hoseok's hands in his own. The elder looked up in slight surprise. "I have loved you since the day we met, Jung Hoseok. I know it's fast and sudden, but I truly do love you. Plus we'll have many more arguments and silent treatments and one of us not running after the other moments after we're married. I mean before too probably. But every single time you run from me I will be one step behind you."

Hoseok laughed a bit as he began to cry. Jimin smiled and gently wiped his tears. "Love isn't easy, hyung. But it can be beautiful.... if you let me love you, I can show you. I won't give up on you, on us. Because I also love you more than anything in this world, I always want you by my side. If this is what a week of loving you is like, then I definitely want forever."

Hoseok furrowed his eyebrows. "Jimin, this week kind of, most definitely, sucked." Jimin laughed. "Baby, you're remembering all the bad, you have to start thinking about the good! This!" Jimin said as he held up their hands. "The moments together that we just laid in bed staring at each other! The elevator at the hotel! The walk to the restaurant! Our crazy spontaneous plan to drop everything and go to Busan together! There's already so many more moments that weight out all the bad ones, baby."

Hoseok smiled as he gently placed his hands on the sides of Jimin's face. "I love you, Park Jimin." Hoseok whispered. Jimin smiled back. "I love you too, Jung Hoseok." Jimin whispered back as his eyes slowly drifted down to the elder's lips. Hosoek smiled before he stood up and placed himself on Jimin's lap and kissed him passionately.

Jimin immediately wrapped his arms around Hoseok's waist as they continuously kissed. Hoseok giggled a bit as Jimin lifted his fist in the air. "You're such a dork." Hoseok whispered against Jimin's lips. Jimin chuckled before he brought his hands down and placed it on the elder's neck as he kissed him again. They both smiled against each other's lips before pulling away from each other.

Hoseok gently placed his hand on Jimin's cheek and looked into his eyes. Hoseok gently sighed out and frowned as he now realized that he had to tell Jimin about his father. "Jimin... I have something else I need to tell you."
