Hospital. The smell of medical alcoholic and antiseptic, the strange feeling that lingers your body, the dim light that guide you to each scary rooms filled with all the meds equipment and everything else.

if you ask who would endure to stay at this kind of building all day, the answer is Jimin. she's been staying at the hospital for almost 5 months. bedridden all day long, with infusion tube connected to a needle stay in her skin.

Well, Leukemia. Cancers that usually begin in the bone marrow and result in high numbers of abnormal white blood cells, doctors says. a disease with a low chance to cure.

With heavy steps, Jinhwan walked in the hospital corridor to reach her room, feels long enough for him because he hate everything about a hospital. but he tried to endure it for the past 5 months. just for Jimin. Just for her he thinks.

he opened her room's door, and a girl with beanie, laying on the bed can be seen from afar. weakly lay on the bed looked so blue and worn out after the spinal cord surgery she had.

"hey," Jinhwan said
"hi" she answered lightly with hoarse voice
"do you.. feel better now?" he asked with a hint of worry in his words
"kinda," she said and smiled a bit
"thanks god the surgery went smoothly, hope you'll feel better," he said and kiss her forehead, "I bought your fav ice cream, you want?"
"Oppa, you know.. that.. I cannot eat anything until 5 hours ahead. trying to tease me huh?" she said weakly and giggled a little
"hm, I know, just kidding, hehe," he said and smiled to her, happy to see his girl can still smiling even after the hurtful surgery she had
"I brought your fav flower, want to place it beside your bed?"
"yes, please" he bought a bunch of white roses and purple Chrysanthemum. sweet. she thinks
"hm, I love flower's scent. hospital's smell is terrible. isn't it?" he said while sniffing the flower
"yeah it is. Oppa, thanks for the flowers.." she said lightly
"you looked so tired, you should sleep Jimin.." he said worriedly
"no.. Oppa is here to visit me. how can I sleep?"
"it's okay, I will always beside you Jimin-ah," he said and caress her cheeks
"okay, but promise me you'll always be my side when I open my eyes," Jimin said
"yeah, always be your side. forever," he said and smiled. as his words finished she closed her eyes and begin to enter her dreamland

Jinhwan took a chair and sit beside her. He hold her hands and looked at her. lie if he didn't feel pity, He sure pities her, seeing her petite body gotten skinnier, her pale skin, and her loss hair. The reason for the beanie she wears.

if he could, Jinhwan wants to repeat to the day they first met. the day he fell in love with her. when she can still running around, smiling so lively and beautifully, so life. When everything is worked out like how it should be before. he missed it for sure.

everything started 7 months ago. when she had a nonstop nosebleed, anxiety, high fever, and unstoppable dizziness. everything is changed in a blink of an eye. but not for his love to her. the more he sees her weak side the more he fell in love with her and want to keep her forever. and not to be left behind, take a good care of her.

he overcomes his fear, coming to the hospital every single day for the past 5 months. just for seeing her. but she hasn't shown any healthy sign nor recover from the disease. instead, her condition is gotten worse every day. last month she have spinal cord donator from relatives and did her surgery not long ago. he hopes with the spinal cord surgery, she could get better and recovered.

“Hh..” he stopped thinking about the past and sighing. not long enough after that, he too fell asleep beside her. entering their dreamland together

"jinhwan.. jinhwan.." Jimin's father said waking him up
"umm.. yeah?" he said with hoarse voice
"your phone is ringing"
"ah.. yes it is," he said and taking his phone out from his pocket

"Hello?"
"Hyung, Sajangnim is calling
