Masquerade Love (Jimin X Mina) [Completed]

Chapter 17

Chapter 17

I am staring at Sharon calmly sleeping on her bed. My mind was filled with questions and messy thoughts. Jimin watched Sharon sleep and when nightfall came, he left without saying any words to me, he didn't even give a glance. I was still confounded about what he spoke when we were in the Taxi.

A nurse came and explained to me what happened. According to her, Sharon wanted to go to the rooftop so she helped her get there to have some fresh air. But then she stood up and headed to the tip part of the hospital building and cried that she can't handle it anymore. The nurse panicked and called for Doctor Collins aid. Fortunately, they were quick to rescue her.

At the time being, I am bombarded with random thoughts. Ignoring it won't help either so I just let it flow in my mind. Starting from 'How can Sharon do that?' To 'How can Jimin say that?'

A phone call distracted my chain of thoughts.

"Hello, Mom?"

"How's your sister? Is she okay? Doctor Collins just left me an email and Oh My God! Why did she---" her voice is shaking.

"Shh Mom don't panic" I comforted. "She's fine and still sleeping but I will talk to her and I won't let her do that again" I answered while looking at Sharon, she's flinching while asleep.

"No, no. I have to be there. I will talk to her." she raised her voice before I heard a loud thud on the other line and the call is hanged up.

"Mom?"

"Mom?" I repeated but there was just a beeping sound indicating that the call has already ended. What happened? I heard something fell on the other line.

"Mina?" I heard Sharon's crack voice on the background.

"Thank God you're awake!" I approached her and wrapped her in my arms. "Don't do that again" I begged while in tears.

She nodded, "I can't handle the pain anymore. It's killing me slowly and I hate it" she cried in between our hug.

I detached from the hug and faced her, I held her face to make her eyes look at mine. "You won't be defeated by this, Sharon. You will fight. You will be strong and I will be with you when you fight." I exclaimed with all courage.

"It's easy for you to say that because you're not the one lying here, you're not the one suffering, you're not the one fighting. You don't know the pain I've been trying to endure every day. I've been suffering my whole life, Mina. Mentally and emotionally. How can you say those words so easily when you were always living life at the fullest? Sometimes, I just hate seeing you." She closed her eyes drenched with tears out of vexation. She turned to the side to avoid me.

Those words just pierced my heart with a hundred knives. I looked at her eyes full of resentment. I felt like she's been holding to say those words to me for a long time. Well, I can't blame her.

"If only, Sharon. If only I can take your place, I will gladly accept it." I sighed and pulled out the purple crochet bracelet from my pocket and placed it on her bedside table. "I may not understand how you feel but killing yourself still isn't an acceptable reason for you to end it all. I made this bracelet, we've been making these since we were young but we always give it to others and never left even one for ourselves. This bracelet signifies my promise that soon, you will not suffer and be in pain anymore." I calmly told her before exiting her room.

I walked at the hallway like I was so defeated. Every step I take is heavy. This was me. this was literally when I was at Europe and I didn't expect that I would experience this feeling here.
