Freedom- Yoongi BTS

13

We were quietly eating our breakfast, when my phone went off.

I scrabbled up to reach it and answer, my mind still half asleep and my body still tired from yesterday' events.

"hello?" I answer, my voice a little raspy

"April!" a feminine voice responded " I'm Chloe from Virginia animal hospital; we need you to come here as soon as possible, because some animals are injured pretty badly."

Eventually she proceeded to explain me the situation in details the best she could, interrupted only by small questions from me.

I hang up the phone and placed in on the bed. I knew I had to go there, and luckily we were pretty close to that place.

I glanced at Yoongi who looked back at me with a questioning look.

"I got a call from the hospital" I explained " I need to go there to visit some animals."

"they have a really strict policy with people, so you can't come with me." I explained, while searching for my backpack.

"besides" I added "you should be resting your ankle" I concluded, while filling my bag with all my necessities.

I finally looked up to him, only to see the boy frenetically shaking his head.

"Yoongi, I know you don't like this idea; but when it comes to work I can't say no."

He was still shaking his head, while muttering 'no' like a mantra.

I sighed and proceed to search for lost shoe as I was holding only one in my hand.

I finally found it, and slipped them on.

I was ready to jump out whit my backpack over my shoulder when my eyes landed for the last time on the shaking figure of the boy. He looked so fragile, and my heart ached at the view.

I took a small step towards him and crouched down "Yoongi, look at me please." He raised his chin whit small tears on his eyelashes "I'm not leaving you, okay?"

"I just going to work , and I'll be back by tonight."

He nodded, a tear running down his cheek.

"I'm not going too far away; in fact I'm going there by feet." Another tear followed the first one "it's just down the street, for this reason I'm not moving the van okay?"

Another nod, followed by a set of fresh tears.

"I really have to go now, I'm not leaving you okay?"

"okay."

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

I hurried up to reach the hospital, trying to concentrate, but failing, as a part of me was still with the boy.

Chloe guided me through the halls until we reached the patients.

I proceed to visit the animals, trying hard to concentrate, but a part of me was still somewhere else.

The cat I was visiting had a broken paw who required surgery; same thing for my other patient who was a dog, with only difference the he had a broken leg. During the day other animal added up to the list lengthening my time there.

The surgeries took hours, and left me exhausted but happy.

It was nice to finally do something different from the normal routine.

When I got out with my backpack over my shoulder and my pay in the other hand, it was already dark, an amazing starry sky over my head.

I hurried the pace, wanting to reach the van and finally rest. Only a small part of my mind on Yoongi.

Things changed when I arrived in front of a really dark Betty.

I quietly went in, calling for the boy.

I got scared when I didn't received any answers; a wave of panic hitting me with full force.

I soon calmed down when I saw a small ball in corner on the floor.

I exhaled a shaky breath while covering the boy up with a cover, not missing the tears stained cheeks.

But that, I decided could wait until tomorrow morning.

For now all we need is some well deserved rest.
