BTS HYYH Notes (Book 1, 2, BUS Game) // COMPLETE [Part 2]

2022, May 11 - Hoseok (My Imo & Jimin)

[Places: Hospital, imo's house, bridge]

I woke up to the sound of a text on my phone. Where am I? I bolted up only to realize I was in Gyeongil Hospital. And I lay down again. The morning sun was coming in through the window. The text message was from my 'imo' from the orphanage.

Yesterday, I had a call from one of the kids from Yangji Children's House (Home.) He told me that imo had a serious illness. Among so many orphanage volunteers, my imo was a particularly special person to me.

(A/N: Reminiscing yesterday.)

I can't remember how I got to her place. The only thing I remember is seeing her house and seeing her through the open window. She was talking with someone and burst out laughing. The fact that she was sick, that she had to have a surgery, and that the chance of her survival was slim all seemed like a lie. She almost saw me before I stooped down.

If I saw her, I was afraid I would burst into tears. I might blurt out in resentment whether she was going to abandon me as well.

I started walking away. It seemed like someone was calling my name, but I didn't look.

The last thing I remembered was looking up at the sky from the bridge. I felt dizzy and my vision suddenly became blurry. My knees buckled and my ears rang with the loud honking of the cars passing by the bridge. The narcolepsy struck me again.

Hoseok-ah, are you okay? I'm so sorry.

It was a text from my imo. I've always liked people --- my hyungdeul and noonadeul at the orphanage, the imodeul who took care of us, my school friends, and teachers, and the customers and the people I worked with at the burger joint. I wasn't liked by everyone, and sometimes, kindness was not returned with kindness, and often than not, attention and love were returned with hurt and pain. But I was able to hang in there because of the people who were important to me.

Would my imo leave me like my eommeoni? Would I lose someone important to me again? I felt like tearing up.

"Who is worried about who here? If you are really worried about me and feel sorry for me, please just stay alive." I muttered.

I opened the curtain around the bed and my eyes met those of someone standing outside.

"Park Jimin."

Looking pale and startled, Jimin took a step back.
