Masquerade Love (Jimin X Mina) [Completed]

Chapter 3

Chapter 3

"Even though I have health problems, I studied in a university since a year ago and got myself a boyfriend. I did it all using your identity as Mina Myoi." Sharon explained while her head is down.

I feel like having a headache hearing her explanation. My sight is nearly turning into black. Goodness, how can she do all this?!

"Why did you study at a university when you know that you have health complications?" I fisted.

"b-because I want to experience being normal and ordinary" a tear escaped from her eyes, she wiped it quickly.

"But you know that it can risk your health and then, tell me, who's this Jimin?" this time, I tried not to be harsh to her. But I don't think I can calm myself quickly now that I'm slowly figuring out that this craziness she's doing is what's making her health worse.

"J-Jimin is my boyfriend. He is my classmate from that university I used to go to." She paused for a while before saying, "I-I met him there."

"Why is he not here?" I added. She's ceaselessly rubbing her palm against the blanket. That's a sign that she's tensed. "So you didn't tell him that you're ill?!"

She's rubbing her palm harder.

"Okay don't answer that, I obviously know your answer but answer this question, what did you reasoned out to him instead?" I didn't notice that my voice is getting higher. I'm frustrated, GRRR!

"I-I'm on v-vacation." She responded with a hint of antsy in her voice.

"My God, this is ridiculous!" I caressed my temple. My head is heating up. I decided to proceed to my next question to calm myself from burning up. "How can you do this? Why are you risking your life and why are you using my name?"

She slowly shifted her sight to me. Now we are looking directly at each other. Me looking at her with flaming eyes while her eyes are tired and sad at the same time. Another tear fell before she spoke, "Because I envy you Mina. You can experience a normal life out there, travelling, eating anything you want, and studying at a university and even meeting people as much as you want without minding any health conditions." She avoided her stare and bowed down. As if on cue, my furrowed brows hushed down. "While I'm only staying at the house or at a hospital with all this treatments and medications that can't seem to cure me for all these years." Her tears are flowing like a broken faucet. "I'm sick of it, I'm so sick of it. I don't want to be in this hell forever! I don't want to live with medicines forev---"

"Enough with it, Sharon!" I turned back and wiped the tear that unanticipatedly fell. I advanced straight to exit the door. After closing the door, I leaned on it. Inhale. Exhale. Before weakly going to somewhere else.

I just can't let her finish what she has to say, it's breaking my heart. It's making me guilty.

The cold wind breeze embraced me fully while I'm staring blankly at the darkness of the night filled with stars. I am currently at the roof top while still trying to sort out everything. I made a deep sigh. I closed my eyes and a memory transitioned...

//Flashback//

7 years ago, ...

Sharon and I were latching onto each other so tight because we knew that we are going to be separated starting this day. Mom and Sharon are sending me and dad off to the airport today.
