CAN'T LET YOU GO

~• Chapter 3 •~

3rd POV

Only Hospital monitors could be heard, and the drop of dextrose as well.

Jin was holding his mom's hand tightly, he was so worried about her.

But the other thought of him is thinking on how Jisoo was.

Suddenly, his mom's eyes fluttered open.

"E-Eomma!" Jin instantly hugged her.

"Jin, m-mianhe, your date must have been spoiled by my c-carelessness" His mom said as she gasped for breath through the tubes.

Only the machine was providing oxygen for his mom, and he couldn't help but get teary looking at her.

The doctor said she had cystic fibrosis, a condition in the lungs that is deadly, and right now it had reached the final stage.

Her eyes were puffy, and her lips cracked due to being pale.

"Eomma.. Don't mind that date as long as you're finally okay here right now." Jin's tears fell from his eyes.

"My d-dear son... I have n-no other desire before I die except to see you h-happy, you have to go on your date now.."

"Eomma, what are you saying? It's not like you're going to be dead, plus, I won't leave you here"

"J-Jin, I'll be fine...G-Go to your date....J-Jisoo must be waiting f-for you.... Go fetch her..I-I want to see her again, tell her okay?"

"Eomma..."

"J-Jebal.. Do this for me.. I'll be fine here, the nurses are here to take care of me.. J-Jin.." His mom breathed out heavily.

Jin stood up and eventually obeyed his mother, he wiped his tears, grabbed the gifts he had bought for Jisoo as he hesitantly left the hospital room.

Jin's POV

I didn't want to leave my mom.. But at the same time I didn't wanna leave Jisoo so I went to the park again.

To my dismay, no sign of her at all.

I kept calling her

20 missed calls

35 missed calls

49 missed calls

Ugh! Where in the goddamn world is she? It's already 9 pm

My patience is starting to go down, but I will endure, I can't give up on her.

Jisoo's POV

Welcome.. The European Airlines is now descending on the west of the airport..

I opened my eyes as I looked at the daylight in front of me, I also looked at my dad beside me reading a newspaper.

I removed my heaphones, then we started carrying our luggages.

"Let me help you with that Señor and Madame" The dispatcher said as he helped me and my dad carry our luggages.

A dark brown limousine owned by our company stopped in front of us.

Ugh! If you think I liked this life.. I hate this!

As we sat inside the car,  I instantly turned off my airplane mode in my phone and there were 40 unread messages!

I looked at it and guilt this time washed over me.

Jisoo ah where are you?..

Jisoo I'm already here!

Jisoooo!! Did something happen

..........

"Who is that?" My dad asked

"Oh.. It's Jin." I replied

"Good thing you followed my advice, I don't forbid you to go out with him but we have to do this for your future Jisoo ah, I hope you understand"

"Jinja? Is it really for my future? Don't deny it Appa, you're just afraid we'd lose our riches"

"And you're right.. Jisoo ah, you can't live in this world if you don't have enough resources like your riches"

"Can't we just live without it? I mean being without riches doesn't mean you can't live a happy life at all. Are the riches your only means of living in this world?"

I smirked as my dad finally shut up.

It's his fault for making me do the things I never wanted in the first place.

But one thing is now making me sad.

Truth hurts, but I guess me and Jin weren't meant to be all along, and I left him without saying goodbye..

It's all of my fault.

Jin's POV

I opened my eyes as I scanned the surroundings, the sun has now shone brightly.

Did I just sleep in this park?

The bouquet of flowers and other presents were now on the ground.

Suddenly my phone rang.. Great, what a perfect timing.

I answered "Hello?"

"Mr.Kim? I'm sorry to say..but your mother....just passed away this morning." My mouth flung open, I dropped my phone on the ground as the tears blurred my vision.
