Two weeks, that's how long I've been in the bed doing nothing but copying notes that Seo yeon got me from school, waiting for Jimin, Taehyung or Yoongi to join me for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Jimin would not let me get up from the bed. I've not gone to work in two weeks, not attended school, not even stepped out of my room. My relationship with Yoongi was rocky at first seeing as I hurt him by lying but then it started going back to normal, him understanding my side of the story and me trying to understand his. I had decided that I would plead with Jimin to get out of the house. This unwanted bed rest was killing me, and I had never been so bored in my life until now.
As soon as Jimin entered my room with the plates filled with our dinner, I patted the empty space on my queen sized bed asking him to sit there, back leaning against the headboard with me rather than the chair placed beside it. He took up the offer and passed me my plate. I leaned my head on his shoulder in the middle of having dinner while he was talking about his day. He stopped in the middle, glancing at me waiting for me to say something.
"Jimin," I started "I've been sitting here for way too long. Two weeks. Don't you think that's enough rest for me? I really want to go back to my daily lifestyle, working at the café, going to school, the park, I miss the outside. Jimin please" I plead at the end seeing Jimin's determined face.
"Noona you're not well enough. I can't see you limping around. I just can't let you go out. Yoongi hyung would agree with me" he replies.
"Call him. I'll talk to him. Please Jimin, I need to go see mom, I need to go back to work" I waited while Jimin got his phone out from his pocket. He dialled Yoongi's number and put the phone on speaker.
"Jimin? What happened? Is Erica okay?" we heard him speak right after picking the phone up on the second ring.
"Yes I'm alright. Thank you for the concern. It's been two weeks since I was hurt. Can I please go out? Jimin is not allowing me to. It's been long enough and I can walk properly, I can't just stay in my room forever. I'm just really bored doing nothing. Please?" I say immediately after, putting my point through to him, not allowing Jimin to justify his refusal.
"But it's too dangerous for you to get back to your daily routine. What if one of the cuts rip open?" Yoongi retaliated, a dejected sigh leaving my lips. Jimin looks at me with a 'told-you' look, shrugging his shoulders.
"You can go out for some time if you are that bored. But just a few hours and you do nothing that causes strain to your muscles" he adds, lifting up my mood.
"Okay okay thank you. Bye bye good night" I reply looking at Jimin in victory while he shakes his head at me with a smile on his face.
"Night" Yoongi greets back with a chuckle before cutting the phone off.
The rest of the night going on as usual but this time my mood being a lot brighter at the thought of going and visiting mom's grave, first thing in the morning.
I woke up at six as usual and was ready to go out at around seven, after getting freshened up. Going downstairs, I saw father getting back home, probably after a night of gang related work, hands bloodied, and knuckles bruised. I ignored him, walking past him to get to the dining table to have my breakfast before going out. Jimin greeted me warmly and I responded back with a wide smile painting my features. After breakfast, I grab my coat from my room seeing as the temperatures have dropped considerably, the season changing quickly from autumn to winter, get into the car waiting for me, asking the driver to take me to the cemetery but not before stopping him on the way to get some lilies.
I get out of the car, limping almost unnoticeably, making my way towards the place where I know I'll find mom. The way to her grave printed into my brain's memory. Saying I was surprised would be an understatement. Instead of the withered flowers that I expected to see, I could see a bouquet of fresh colourful flowers. There was no one I knew who would have placed these flowers on mom's grave, but I was happy to see someone taking care of her when I could not see her. I placed the lilies beside the bouquet, talking with mom for a few moments, told her everything that recently happened.
I get back to the car, this time asking the driver to drive me to the café. I get into my work clothes in the café's change room and greet my co-worker as she walks out of the kitchen carrying a tray of freshly baked cookies for the display. I take up my position at the counter, taking orders and payment of the random customers walking in.
"Ahh it's so good to see you again, Erica. We had a really tough time without you around" my manager comes out of the kitchen wearing an apron, a smile on her face.
"Missed you too" I reply back while typing in the order of the university student standing in front of me.
At around noon Jimin strolls into the café, greeting the manager and asking her to excuse me for the rest of the day to which she agreed. Going outside, I notice Taehyung, Jungkook, Seo yeon and Ara waiting for me. A smile makes its way to my face when all four of them engulf me in a group hug. Jimin standing back and pouting at not being included in the hug.
"You already get to stay with noona all the time. It's our turn to hang out with her" Taehyung said, Jungkook poking his tongue out at Jimin who is pouting while I burst out laughing with Seo yeon and Ara.
"Can someone remind me why I'm dating this kid?" she states on seeing Jungkook's childish behaviour towards my brother, the banter only continuing from there. The rest of my day gone spending time with them and catching up to things that had happened, not aware of someone watching me from the shadows with a smile on their face.
