"You shouldn't be hurting yourself. You're too precious to be in pain." He finally sat down and rest his back at the bench like what I did. His words just melted my heart in an instant.

"I can't escape pain Kook." I shake my head.

"Should I help you escape it? I'll help you." He volunteered. He always has this good deeds that is very rare for a guy to offer to a girl like me. "I know that you're trying to help me, but thank you. No need for that, as long as I'm breathing the same air with you." I decline his offer. Because whatever he do for me to be happy, no one can escape pain, that's the realty.

"You sure?"

"Yes. Btw, I guess I can show you my painting as a sample. Check if I'm improving okay?" I changed the topic and we go to our usual area where we practice painting.

I let him wait for just half an hour for me to finish working on my sample. I just simply draw the river with the bench near it.

"Ooh- you're good. It's nice Rosie, you improved. Am I a good teacher?" He laughed once he saw the painting. "Really? I'll make more in the future. You should too!" I nudges him and smiled. "Okay okay. Are you now happy?"

"Yeah, gumawo Jungkook-ssi..." I smiled genuinely at him. He smiled back at me while caressing my hair like I'm his pet. ㅠㅠ

I opened my eyes slowly and looked for Taehyung immediately. I am aware that they're still together. "Oh- Yah! I told you not to brag!" I heard them laughing, kinda bickering. I look at them, and I felt a pang of jealousy from what I saw.

They're happy playing board game. Lisa is still here and hasn't leave yet. Should I sleep again?

"Oh babe, you're awake.." Taehyung approaches me.

"Uh am I bothering you guys? Should I sleep one more time?" I asked them. Cause they look so happy.. T^T

"Oh no Chae, actually I waited for you to wake up so I can leave." She smiles. "Okay, did you eat something?" I asked her softly. "Ah yes, Taehyung treated me outside earlier to eat-" She stopped but she already spilled it out. She was a little bit taken aback about what she said.

"Oh that's nice. So you're good, alright. Take care Lisa-ssi." I waved to her. "Uh HAHAHA yea bye Chaeyoung-ah. Take care also." She bid her goodbye.

"Hey aren't you going to bid your goodbye?" I asked Tae. "Oh bye, take care." He awkwardly said. She then leave my room. "Hey babe, do you wanna eat something? Aren't you hungry?"

"I just need water Tae. I'm not hungry at all." Forced smile. "Here." He handed me a bottled water. "Are you sure? You have to eat something for you to drink your medicine."

Yea I forgot...

"What's available? I'll eat babe." He went to the fridge and look for the available food. If they went out to eat, he should somehow thought about me and bought me some meal too right? Or am I the only one thinking of this?

"There's a porridge here. I'll heat it up first. Wait for me." So he didn't bother to buy me food. Alright, that's fine. He went outside my room. I take a look on my arm that has lots of tube that is attached to it. I don't even know what it's called. How am I supposed to know that?

While waiting for Tae, I opened the bottom part of the cabinet that is beside the bed. I remembered that mom bought me some clothes for our date. But it will take too long for me to go outside. I grabbed those clothes and choose one.

What should I wear? 

I'll change my clothes this time. I always wear this pajama for hospital. Since I can change my clothes even though it's hard I tried my best to change. I wear a white off shoulders and a plaid skirt.

The door finally opened and I thought it was Taehyung, but it's mom. "Oh sweetie! You're too pretty, where are you going? You aren't discharge yet." My mom looked at me head to toe. "No mom, I just want to wear this. I'm not going anywhere, I get used to pajamas." I smiled at her.

"Yeppeuda! Where's Taehyung?" She sat down the couch. "Uh preparing my meal mom. He's outside-"

"Oh eomma.." Taehyung entered the room with the bowl of porridge in his hands. "I came here to visit my Chaeng for an hour. I'll go back to work later on. How about you? Aren't you gonna do something while I'm here?" She asked him. He put the food on the small desk in front of me. I started eating it while listening to their conversation. Taehyung is looking at me, I can feel it.

"By the way, what's with your clothes? Are you going outside babe?"

"Ani, I just wanna try this on while sleeping." I answered. "You look pretty~" He whispered. What's wrong with me? Every time he praises me, I feel butterflies in my stomach. But why am I not feeling those anymore?

"Thanks, babe."

Mom already left and Taehyung is sleeping in the couch. He's too tired by his looks. I don't want him to suffer too like me.

I get my mirror in my cabinet and look at myself. "Uwa~ why do you even bother yourself to change your clothes?" I talked to myself.

Unless... There's another reason why.

No way-

I am not wearing this to impress that choosy guy! I mean, he always see me wearing those tacky outfit for patients. Aish! Don't get me wrong. . .
