"jimin!" panic started to bubble up in taehyung as jimin collapsed to the concrete floor, unconscious.

"jimin! jimin!" the boy shook his shoulder but it was no use. he sighed before carrying him up in a bridal style and rushed back down, receiving gasps from students.

"namjoon hyung! hyungs! help me!" taehyung ran to his other friends side and their eyes widen at the pale and unconscious jimin.

"what happened?" jin asked but the boy shook his head as tears started flowing down his eyes.

"i d- dont know, h- he just suddenly fainted"

"it's okay. hoseok call the ambulance, taehyung you'll follow jimin to the hospital, i'll tell mr. joe later on" jin instructed and taehyung nodded his head before he gazed back down at the unconscious boy in his arms.

"jungkook!" jungkook's head shot up and saw a panting seungcheol before resuming to reading the book in his hands, humming to his name being called.

he has been hearing gasps and distant murmuring but continued reading his book.

"jungkook, jimin. ." the boy's head perked up from his book and closed it instantly at the mention of jimin's name.

"jimin what? what seungcheol?" the boy stood up from his seat and went closer to his friend.

"he fainted" jungkook dropped the book he was holding in his hand as he rushed out of his classroom, making his way to the crowded area, that is now becoming less crowded since the paramedics were currently attending to jimin.

his body was thin, face pale, as the oxygen mask was being put on him.

what happened to him?

whatever happened to you, please be okay jimin.

please be.

jungkook clenched his fist.

i love you, damn it.

"idiot, i told you to go for the operation" taehyung mumbled to himself as he rubbed his sweaty palms, waiting outside of jimin's room.

"taehyung" he immediately stood up and went closer to junior, the doctor attending to jimin.

they knew each other since the younger visits the hospital with jimin most of the time as his parents were always out of town.

"how is he hyung? is it because of his tumor?"

"he has been under stress lately. and he has not been eating, his stomach is practically empty. this is going to affect his health tae. did something happened to him?" the boy shook his head and muttered an 'i don't know'.

"well you can see him, he's already awake. please take care of him and make sure he eats three times a day, okay?" he nodded and junior patted his back before leaving.

taehyung twisted the doorknob and entered, seeing a weak jimin laying on the hospital bed, an oxygen mask in his face.

"jimin. . ." the red haired sat up slowly and removed his oxygen mask, making the other panic once again.

"hey, put it back!" jimin laughed lightly, hitting his head, making the boy groan.

"i'm fine kim taehyung"

"don't lie jimin, don't fucking lie. behind all your smiles, i can see the grieve being hidden. you can lie to yourself, say that you're okay, that you're fine, but you can never lie to me. fine? you just fainted and you said you're fucking fine? i was so fucking worried about you! and why have you not been eating? junior hyung said your stomach is empty. you have only four more months to live jimin! four! do you know how sad that is? do you know how sad am i? i need you jimin, i need you in my life"

taehyung grabbed his hands and started tearing up again.

"you mean a lot to me jimin. please, please dont leave me"
