Promise

Chapter 5

Weeks past. Jimin's condition had worsened, unfortunately. He's been a bit discouraged lately, so I would visit him and cheer him up everyday after school.

Few days later in class, while the teacher was nagging at us, I received a call. I answered it, without caring about anyone's shocked reaction.

"Hi, this is Dr Kim. I am sorry to say, your friend Jimin has-"

Without waiting for him to complete his sentence, I stood up and ran out from the classroom, leaving everyone else shocked. The teacher was screaming her lungs out, the students were gossiping, everything was in chaos."Aish this brat..." I heard the teacher say.

I reached the hospital and hurried to Jimin's room, but I got blocked by a group of nurses. I tried struggling to see Jimin, but they reassured me to calm down and wait outside patiently.

After a long while (which felt like a century), Dr Kim and Dr Min came out, shaking their heads in disappointment. I flinged open the door and saw Jimin lying on the bed.

"Jimin, Jimin ah, wake up!!!" I shouted out his name several times, and shook him to wake him up, but no response was given.

When Dr Min was consoling Jimin's parents, Dr Kim came up to me.

"We have tried our best to save him, we are sorry for your lost..." Dr Kim said, his tears about to drop.

My mind was totally blanked. My lips quivered, tears started to trickle down my cheeks as Dr Kim handed me tissue and consoled me. I couldn't recall what happened later on, I only remember crying in the hospital for so long, so long...
