With You ••Park Jinyoung

"We managed to take the bullet out, luckily the bullet just grazed her spinal cord. Although she lost a lot of blood and that can't provide enough oxygen to her brain. I'm sorry, but we can't give you an accurate time on when she will wake up" The doctor said calmly at the three guys waiting. Jinyoung's chin trembled as he approached towards the doctor.

"B-but she's okay right?" He asked full of hope.

"I can't say that she is fine right now. She is still under monitoring in the intensive care unit. There might be other complications that can still occur" All boys nodded and the doctor patted Jinyoung's shoulder before leaving.

"She's gonna be okay Jinyoung, I know she will" Jackson went to his side and hugged him sideways.

"I'm sorry Jinyoung" JB spoke amd jinyoung looked at him questionably.

"It's no ones fault Jaebeomie, the plan didn't work yes, but at the end we got our goal. It's just that, someone got hurt in the process." JB looked down and bit his lip.

"But still, i was so confident--"

"It's okay to be confident. In fact, your confidence is what made us all fight without fear. We all did our best okay? Right now we hope for Jihyun's recovery" Jacksom cut him off and Jinyoung nodded in agreement and gave JB a slight smile.

JB's POV
2 weeks later

I

t has been two weeks. Two painful week. Jinhyun hasn't woken up. It's  already afternoon when I visited her and the others were still at home, except for Jinyoung, who hasn't even left the hospital since the day of the incident.

I'm most worried at him, he doesn't talk, he's gone cold, there bags under his eyes and his face stained with tears. He just stares at her, waiting for her to wake up. He goes home to take a bath and just go straight back here, but that doesn't really happen on a daily basis, so here i am bringing some clothes for him, and of course to visit her.

Thankfully, Jihyun got transferred to a private room a week ago, and to think Jinyoung can have more naps than the time when she was still in the ICU because a week ago he would sleep at the waiting area outside the intensive care unit department.

I see him looking at her still and made my way towards him.

"Jinyoung-ah, maybe it's time you should go home for awhile?" I said. He just shook his head.

"You have to eat and sleep Jinyoung, please? Just a few hours?" I plead. I can't have another sick person here.

"I can't leave her here, she might wake up soon" I sighed knowing there's nothing I can do.

"Look, just at least change your clothes? I brought you some" i gave him the bag and he just took them and went inside the bathroom without turning back.

I sighed. It's really hard talking to him these days. It's like talking to a wall. I wouldn't blame him though.

I looked at Jihyun and smiled sadly at her. "Wake up, please? Your boyfriend is killing himself do you know that?" I mumbled.

"You have to fight this Jihyun, okay? I'm still looking forward to that fancy restaurant you were gonna treat me to"

"Don't break your promise arasseo? Your oppa is waiting for you" i said refferring to myself as i held her hand and squeezed it before letting go.

Minutes later Jinyoung came out and he went straight to her side and sat down. I sighed deeply.

"Jinyoung-ah, the boys will be here later to visit after school okay?" I informed him earning a simple hum.

"Just hang in there, she's strong, she'll wake up soon" I said. As expected, no answer.

I grab my coat and stand up, i stopped as i hear him speak up.

"I just wished I haven't fought with her, i wish i spent more time with her for the past week, i wish i told her i love her every single day..." He started sniffling. I sat on the couch beside him and looked at him. I knew these past few weeks they weren't on good condition. He always goes home late and I always observe Jihyun being different lately, she's been sad and worried.

"All she ever did was worry for me. After all those nights i go home, she's there waiting for me. All I did to her was snap at her. I even denied our engagement" He continued and I put my hand on his shoulder. He looked down on his lap and started letting his tears come out. "I-I-I'm a h-horrible p-person" He sniffled, completely breaking down.

I stared at him in pity. Atleast for the whole days that he has been here, he let out his thoughts.

I patted his back and sighed deeply.

"I should've never let her take that bullet, it should've been me!"

"Jinyoung-"

"I should've protected her"

"Jin-"

"I shoul-"

"She's not dead Jinyoung!" I clenched my fist. I took deep breaths and calm myself as he look at me in sorrow.

"She is still breathing and fighting for her life. Do you think she would've liked it if she sees you like this? Huh? She took the bullet for you and you're wasting her sacrifice if you keep being like this." I said to him sternly.

"What do you expect me to feel? Be happy? That i'm happy that my life got spared while she... she..." He snapped while opposing himself to describe her state right now.

"No. I just want you to have faith in her" I replied calmly. "Look Jinyoung, i know she's not conciously here with us but, knowing that her heart is still beating right there gives us hope that she is still with us. And if you really love her, no matter how long she's in this state, you'll wait for her to wake up right? And when that time comes, you can now do all those things you should've done and things you should've said."

He looked at me with pouted lips amd trembling chin and sighed.

"You're right. I'm sorry... i just really miss her"

I smiled at him slightly "I know you do Jinyoung. We all are."

"We're still gonna get married" He smiled sadly at the thought.

"I know Jinyoungie, and I can't wait to witness that"

"And then go to our honeymo--"

"Okay okay I get it Jinyoung!" We both laughed. We are insane, as if we were not arguing earlier. The laighed died down and he spoke.

"Thanks hyung" he said.

"Anytime jinyoung" I patted his shoulders and bid our goodbyes and I left the room.

"I hope their love story ends well" I mumbled to myself  smiling before I walk away.
