Hoseok being a jovial guy, was quite famous from the day he entered the university. His charming personality lead to endless proposals & confessions.
But what will happen when a student who seems shy to everyone, picks up on him on every possible o...
It had been a week, since the accident and Yoongi's death. Auro was recovering from her injuries, physically. Well mentally, she had shut out herself.
"He died because me. If only hadn't taken him with me. If only I drove that day, then he would have been alive. Oh god.."
She had stopped responding, to everything, to everyone.
Me and Rey were waiting, impatiently in the doctor's chamber. He wanted to have a talk before discharging Auro. He came in with a distress ghosting his face. I could feel my stomach churning at the sight. He sat in front of us, smiling sad.
"First of all, I wanna ask you a question. Had she been hit on her head before?", he asked grabbing a pen from the stand.
"It was 3 years ago. Some men had tried to assault her. They had hit her in the head that time.", Rey answered nervously.
"Mr. Jung, Ms. Kim, please listen carefully to what I'm saying. Her head had been injured again. The impact was harder this time. This has created blood clots which are pressing the nerves. She's fine now but... In future, which can a month or a year that we don't know, there is a chance of her suffering Alzheimer's disease. ", he sighed taking off his glasses. I tried to register his words.
"Isn't there any cure?", Rey asked, I could see her hands trembling.
"We can do a operation but the success ratio is very low but not null. She isn't showing any signs till now so it's better if we wait. And one more thing, I want you both to explain her the situation, if not then I'll try to explain it to her. For now, she's ready to get discharged.", he said scribbling some medicines on the prescription.
2 months later....
She had been forgetting things recently. Initially, it started with simple things like forgetting to brush or taking a bath. Then she started forgetting the addresses and her come workers name.
"Hoseok", my heart dropped, she never called me by my name.
"Hoseok, I feel like I'm forgetting something again. I know, I don't call you by this name.But I can't remember...", she looked down fiddling her fingers. I went to her and hugged her. She laid her head on my chest and her fingers traced patterns on it.
"The name doesn't matter. It's you what matters the most.", I pecked her forehead then kissing her softly.
Situation worsened, with her forgetting her name, her actions and even me sometimes. After several protests from us, she decided to go for the operation.
"Hope, I know the surgery has 20 percent chance of survival, which is enough for me. I'm not afraid to die, I'm afraid that you'll never get the happiness you deserve. I want to get better for you.", she took my hand to her face, pecking it softly.
"But Auro--", she cupped my face and kissed me slowly.
"If I die, you must not despair, because you have made me the happiest woman alive. I have no regrets.", she smiled ruffling my hair.
Operation day....
The operation was successful but the side effect was worse than expected. Her body was paralysed from neck to down. She was on life support. Evey time I visited her, she would be crying. Until one day...
"Hope, will you do anything for me?", she asked me.
"Yes love.", I smiled pecking her forehead.
She took a deep breathe before looking at me, "Can you switch that machine off?", her eyes pointed at the life support system. My heart leapt at her words. My gaze fell down, tears started streaming down my cheeks.
"Hope..", she called me desperately, "The reason for which I had undergone the operation was to get better. But... This is worst... They are saying they need to amputate my legs to stop the infection. I depend on a machine to live. I can't breathe on my own. I beg you Hope, don't let me lie here until I forget you. Please...", I didn't give her the chance to finish, I ran out of the room.
2 days later...
2 days, I hadn't seen her. I gave myself time to think. It was true she wasn't living. But she wasn't a burden either. I looked up the sky, stars twinkling bright in a pattern contrasting to my gloomy life. Irony couldn't taste more bitter.
I went inside the ward. Her eyes snapped open, looking at me with a mix a glee and despair. I sat on the bed, hovering over to place a kiss.
"You've decided.", she stated, her eyes teary. I broke down. All the tears I had stored in flowed like an ocean.
"Hope, let me touch your face. Although I won't be able to feel it. ", I took her hand and caressed my whole face.
"I couldn't even keep the promise, I made to Kate. Don't cry remembering me. Hope, meet other girls. Fall in love and marry the love of your life. I'll be watching you.", her gaze was fixed on the ceiling, her voice was trembling.
"Baby, I will go and meet other girls. But I will never fall in love again. It will always be you.", I took her hand and put the promise ring on her finger.
"Never let go of this ring. This will remind you of me. We'll meet again. I want you to recognize me then. My soul is bound to yours.", I pecked her forehead, her cheeks and finally a kiss on her lips for one last time.
"Don't look at me after pressing off that switch. I want you to leave and not see me. Other wise it will be difficult for you. I love you Hope.", she gave me a smile.
"I love you baby. I always will. Let's meet again.", I closed my eyes before raising my hands towards the switch. Her breathing quickened and I felt her shaking.
"Hey baby, don't be afraid. Shhh. I love you... I love you.", I hugged her for one last time and she closed her eyes. I got up and finally with my shattered heart and trembling hands switched of the machine.
Present Time...
Author's P.O.V.
"Shit!", I cursed under my breathe.
"I had promised her that I won't cry remembering her. But I broke it. Sam, I wanted to cry at least for once. It is heavy, to carry her memories, to live without her, to smile when I was dead inside. Three road accidents and I lost the people most important to me. There were nights, I aimlessly drove the car, hoping that someone would hit me also. And I would die. But fate is so cruel to me. Dying is easier than to live,at this point. I wanted to tell you both my story so that you both would cherish every moment while you have it, without any regrets.", Hobi snuggled closer to me.
My head was spinning and vision started to blur.
"H-Hobi... I-I can't breathe..", I tried to hold him but my body felt numb, I couldn't move.
"H-Help me...H-Hobi...", I felt a jerk throughout my body, and the next moment everything went black.
