My voice was harsh and dry. I almost didn't recognize it. I swallowed though that didn't seem to help at all. He was right there, laying on my lap sleeping so peacefully. I wanted to reach for him, feel his silky smooth hair against my finger tips. I longed for him, his touch..his lips. I took a deep breath and focused all my energy into moving my arm just..a tad...bit..closer. I extended my arm slowly, which seemed to feel like 100 lbs right now.
He stirred in his sleep. For a split second, my hopes were high that he would wake up and help me. I felt so helpless and anger rose in my chest. Anger at myself. How could i NOT move my arm and reach him already. I was moving so slow and the attempt was draining and honestly irritating me.
'For fucks sake you can't even move your own arm two inches.' I puffed out the breath i was holding in this whole time. 'Dammit. He's RIGHT THERE.' I grunted lowly to myself. 'Okay lemme try this shit one more time.'
I swallowed once more hoping that my voice will become stronger this time. "Ji-Jimin.."
I waited for him to wake up. I was practically praying constantly in my mind. I was tired.. so much so that my body just felt so drained. I was fighting against my own eyelids. 'How can you be sleepy you've been in a damm coma for god knows how long?!' I shouted at myself in the security of my thoughts.
I was annoyed with myself, irritated, sad, and most of all.. tired. I reluctantly caved and slipped into an empty dreamlike state. My head falling slightly to one side.
/J/
I was asleep. I was having a nice dream, Byeol was reaching for me. The sun behind her making her skin tone look slightly darker. She had a smile on her face. She kept reaching but after awhile, her smile faded. She became more and more frustrated. She was irritated at the simple fact she couldn't reach me. "Ji-Jimin" I hear her velvety voice say to me. Her voice was weak but, i overlooked it.
It seemed rather odd that all of a sudden i was having a strong emotional dream of Byeol. I mean i FELT her emotions. Her sudden frustration and anger as if it was me feeling it. After a moment it faded and i felt somewhat normal. She faded though. Faded from my dream. She had just completely evaporated into thin air. I knew for sure i had to be dreaming.
When i finally came to it had been almost a whole 4 hours since i passed out. I rubbed my eyes and yawn stretched. Byeol's head was tilted slightly to one side which i found odd. I gently grasped both sides of her head and adjusted her back to an upright position. I made sure to fix the strands that fell into her face. She was still asleep and with every second passing by, made me feel even more alone. I held back the rush like feeling of tears approaching my eyes. My throat involuntarily tightened up. I took a settling breath and blew out slowly.
My stomach grumbled, i knew i had to go and get something to eat. I took my phone out of my pocket and glanced at the time, 11:50 pm. It was late. I left my phone on the table connected to the charger.
I walked out of the hospital door and turned down the hall to the vending machine area. 'It's late they aren't gonna call me. Taehyung will be passed out from staying up watching JK play his video games. Yoongi-hyung is most likely in the studio but, he doesn't even answer his own phone. Jin-hyung will be asleep for sure. Namjoon-hyung is probably reading one of his books in the living room. Hobi-hyung i honestly don't know but, i doubt he's up this late.'
I had made it to the vending machine area and they also had a tiny cafe like window open next to the machines. "Hello. Can i get a noodle bowl please?" The young looking male smiled nicely and nodded his head. He disappeared around the tiny corner for a brief moment. He came back with my noodle bowl filled up with hot water and it was steaming. I handed him the exact change and bowed respectfully, thanking him.
I moved over to the little table of utensils next to the window. I grabbed a fork and placed it over my noodle bowl, capturing the steam inside. I headed back down the hall to Byeol's room. The aroma from my soup made my stomach grumble even more. "Calm down stomach, you'll get what you want soon." I had reached for the handle, attempting to balance my steaming hot food in one hand.
I managed to push open the door and walk inside, turning to close the door behind me.
"Jimin?"
I froze every muscle in my body. I second guessed myself, thinking i had imagined her voice and gone completely insane. I glared over at my phone screen, that lit up automatically when the next hour started. 00:00
"Jimin is that really you?" I turned around so fast i dropped my hot soup all over the ground. I didn't care. She was awake. My soulmate was awake and staring back at me. The surge of happiness I felt in my whole body was like electricity buzzing. I crossed the room in two long strides and pulled her tiny body into my arms. She was so warm and comforting. I broke down. I cried for her being back, i cried for being gone for so long. I didn't care if there was a million people in the room or just her. I missed her so much and i didn't want to let her out of my arms.
She clung to me just as much as i did. "I m-missed you babe." I managed to say through broken sobs.
She sniffled, "I know baby. I missed you too."
I pulled away for just a moment, grabbing her face in my hands and rubbing my thumbs along her cheeks. The warmth, the color, the tingles of magnetic pull, "I love you."
She smiled up at me and it made my heart do flips, "I love you too Jiminie." I pulled her into my lips and everything stopped. We seemed to of stepped off into another world. A red door appeared in front of us. I squeezed her hand as we both reached for the door. It opened up to a meadow that i found familiar. We walked to the center, she glanced over towards me.
"I'll never forget you Jimin. You're stuck with me whether you like it or not." She poked my cheek and couldn't resist kissing her soft lips once more. We were back in the hospital room. I took a step back and paused for a moment.
"Did- Were we just-.."
"In a meadow. In a dream land we can never physically visit. Yes." She giggled a little and that only made me smile. I never knew i'd miss someones laugh as much as i did hers. Her silky black hair glistening, even with this crappy lighting. The one light that was on creating a halo ring on the top of her head. She looked paler than usual but, she was just in a coma. I was warm all over like i had a fire inside my chest. I couldn't keep my eyes off her. She was just so.. colorful.
"Wait!" She looked at me with wide eyes like i just caught her off guard. "Your.. I can.." My brain was in such a jumble i was finding words but not forming sentences. "I can see you!"
She laughed out loud smacking her leg slightly as she rocked forward a little. "Well duh i'm not invisible." I stepped back to her so the light was shining in my face now.
"No Byeol i can SEE you.. in color." I raised my hands up in the air and she gasped in realization. She practically jumped out of bed to hug me.
"Oh my god oh my god oh my god, Jiminie this can't be a lie. I'll die inside if it is. Please please tell me this is real. Tell me i can see you in color without touching you."
