"So, what you're saying is that you are ill and have to take rest?"
Jungkook spoke out with difficulty.

"Yeah, they said it's noncancerous."
Says Jimin affected by this whole thing.

"It's still dangerous, isn't it?"
Hana inquired.

"My grandfather had it so, maybe."
He said shrugging his shoulders.

Jungkook sat back remembering the time when Jimin's grandfather was found dead in his room.

He had been suffering from headaches and poor vision, but Jimin's family thought it was because of his old age.

After his demise, their family doctors declared that it might be because of an untreated tumor.

"It can be removed by surgeries. If they go as planned, I suppose."
Jimin said as if he wasn't bothered by the fact that if one thing went wrong in those surgeries, he would die.

He said that as if his lips didn't quiver and as if he didn't have beads of sweat running down his forehead.

"But you didn't even reach that age yet!"
Jungkook exclaimed.

"Exceptions exist everywhere kook, and this means that my family has strong genes. But we do not need to panic, I will have the prescribed medicines by tomorrow, and my dear lump is a baby one."
Jimin smiled for real this time.

"How are you even smiling right now?"
Hana asked chuckling in disbelief.

"When do you plan on being operated?"
Jungkook looked at the calendar.

Jimin grimaced, "It's weird if you say it like that! Anyways, I'll probably take some time off from school and discuss this with mum."

"Look who's weirded out now!"
Says Hana slapping the back of Jimin's neck.

"So, What now?"
Jimin asked after he walked over to the kitchen.

"Stick a 'patient on board' behind your mum's car."
Says Jungkook earning a swat from Jimin and snortle from Hana.

"Someone wants something to eat?"

"Me!"

Back in the rink, everybody stared at two people who fell after every two minutes of struggling.

Many failed attempts and chortles later, Yujin suggested that it was enough embarrassment for one day.

"Would you mind if I walked you home?"
Yujin asked Taehyung.

"Huh? Maybe I am supposed to drop you home not the other way around."
Taehyung asked in answer.

"You are the younger one between us, You are the one I need to protect. After all, you gave me half your day so, the least I can do is walk you home."
Yujin recites to Taehyung who just sighs and shakes his head.

"Let's go then."
Taehyung walks ahead, directing them toward his little place.

They both walked in silence until Taehyung opened his mouth to ask something in a hushed voice.

"Did you enjoy yourself today with me?"
He asked suddenly looking at her.

She chuckles lightly before looking back at him.
"Yeah, so?"

"Let's do this more often then. "

She beamed listening to his words and looking away.

A comfortable silence came over as they crossed the street to arrive at the area resided mainly by students.
A little two-story house sat among apartment complexes.
