This Love We Have - jikook ff - Chapter 48: Chapter 48

HE's POV
"Jackson, long time no see." I said once I arrived at our meeting place which is a private restaurant my family owns. I closed it for just the two of us. I saw him wearing shades while checking his phone. When he heard me, he took off his shades and smiled at me.
"It's good to see you again, my friend." He said and pulled me into a manly hug.
"So how's life? Have you already moved on from Mark?" I asked him with a smirk.
"Can we not talk about him?" He rolled his eyes on me. I laughed a little bit.
"Oh you're still affected. It's been years already." I leaned back on my seat.
"I'm slowly moving on, you asshole. Do you have to ruin everything?! Aissh! Why is this about me all of a sudden?!" I laughed my ass off when I saw his face right now. His ears became red.
"Don't you know Mark is so happily inlove with Hoseok now?" I kept on teasing him while laughing.
"Aishh! How about you?! Until now, you can't still get Jungkook for yourself." Laughter is suddenly replaced with anger inside me. My brows furrowed at what he just said. I grabbed his collar and looked at him intensely.
"And now you're mad. What a cliché. You enjoyed teasing others but when they tease you back, you suddenly behave like this. Like wtf?! You're more of a coward than me, you know." I let go of his collar and just sat down. He fixed himself and spoke.
"Anyways, now what do you want me to do?" He said but I didn't look at him.
"Forget it." He laughed that made my brows furrowed. I looked at him and gave him a death glare. I'm so pissed right now.
"What? Come on, what is it that you want me to do?" He raised an eyebrow like he doesn't even know he's pissing me off right now.
"Aishh..." I calmed myself for a bit before I answered him.
"I need you to kill Jimin." I didn't hesitate.
"Woah...woah...Killing is not on my cue card, my friend. You can tell me to do anything but that. I will not do it." He leaned to his chair. My brows furrowed at what he just said.
"Wth?! I already told you on the phone earlier before you agreed on meeting with me." I said, my brows still furrowed. My fist clenched suddenly.
"I thought you were just joking." His brows furrowed, too.
"Do you want me to do something to your family?! You know what I'm capable of." I reminded him.
"Oh stop it, asshole. Don't dare threaten me because you don't have any idea on what I can do, too. I'm leaving." He stood up from his seat and started walking away.
"Jackson! Come back here! Don't forget my family helped your company to recover! You son of a bitch!" I yelled at him.
"Whatever. Go fuck yourself." He said, not even bothering to look back and just gestured 'goodbye' with his right hand. What the hell?! He is clearly the first person to go against me. Aishh!!! I kicked everything my eyes saw. I threw whatever my hands picked as I yelled in frustrastion. I don't care if the employees are witnessing me like this.
Then suddenly my phone rang. It's Jae.
"Come to my office. I need to tell you something about Jimin." My brows furrowed again just by hearing that awful name.
"Okay." I answered before I left the restaurant with a loud bang on the door.
When I reached the hospital, I quickly wore a jacket and shades. Once I entered his office, I sat down right away.
"What is with Jimin now?" I immediately asked because I'm intrigued by the tone of his voice on the phone call earlier.
"His eyes opened already." My eyes widened at what he just told me.
"What?!!!" I stood up from my seat and harshly put my hands down on his desk that made him startled.
"I said, his eyes opened already."
"Wtf?! You said he's not getting any better but now his eyes opened?!! Are you playing with me, Young Jae?!!!" I yelled before I grabbed the collar of his white coat. He tensed up by my sudden action.
"C-Calm down, first. Let me finish." He said that made me let go of his collar harshly.
"Talk." I said once I'm back in my seat.
"Yes, his eyes already opened but it's just a normal response of his body. His body is paralyzed because the loss of too much blood affected his brain. It will take few weeks for his body to replace the blood he lost. And along the way, complications could occur." He said, trying to make me feel better but I'm not convinced.
"But, he could still recover. There are still chances, aren't they?" I was a little nervous while asking this.
"Y-Yes. But it is a slight chance only."
"Even if it's 1% or even a 0.1111% chance, anything can be possible, Young Jae. You're a doctor. You should know that. Don't make me stupid. I know he could wake up anytime." I almost cried in frustration. I grabbed my hair. My anxiety is coming back. It is making me turn again into the worst monster I've ever been. I have to really act now because I'm one step behind.

Unknown's POV
Hearing Jimin getting worse is breaking all of us from the inside, especially me. Why is this happening? Why is Jimin suffering like this? Why is fate against us? Why is God neglecting us? I can't help but question Him about everything. What did Jiminie ever do wrong? After Jin left us in the hallway, Namjoon followed him. I can somehow understand his side but Jungkook needs to know. I know who Jimin needs right now is Jungkook. I wiped my tears away and left them. My feet leaded me to the mini garden. Once I get there, I sat down on the bench near the little fountain and cried again. I grabbed my phone from my pocket and dialed Taemin sunbaenim's number. I need someone to talk to. It rang three times before he answered my call.
Baby girl, what's the problem? And on cue, I burst in tears.
E-Everything is getting worse, sunbaenim. I'm losing hope. I want everything to come back to normal for everyone. It is breaking me seeing everyone at their worst. I tried my best to talk properly but my tears are betraying me. I tried to be strong but I failed.
Don't lose hope. Everything will come back to its place. He said but it didn't help me feel any better.
Sunbaenim, please tell me there is progress on your searching. Please. I beg you. Hiccups started to form between my sobs.
Cheer up, baby girl. We're still on it. We are carefully observing every data so we could collect all the details to who it is. I promise you everything's gonna be okay. He said. I tried to stop from crying.
Do you want me to go there?" He added.
No no. Just continue on what you're doing. I'll be okay. Don't worry. I shook my head on what he said.
Are you sure?
Yes, sunbaenim. Don't worry about me. I just need someone to talk to. I sincerely said when I managed to stop crying.
Okay. But, don't forget to call me if you need me again, okay?
Yes. Thank you so much, Taemin-ssi. Goodbye. I sighed deeply and smiled a little bit.
I'll talk to you again when I found something. Bye and take care, baby girl. He said. I waited for him to end the call. Once he did, I sighed deeply again and lifted up my head with my eyes still shut.
"God, help everyone to be strong in this fight, including me. We need you the most. Help us be strong enough to face this fight." A tear escaped from my eyes. Though I'm breaking inside, I have to be strong and entrust everything to God.
***************
Two days have passed quick with still no progress. I can see that everyone is trying to be strong but we're failing. Just yesterday, Jimin had a cardiac arrest. That brought us the saddest emotion we could ever feel. We broke down in tears hearing from his doctor that Jimin could have more cardiac arrests in the future. He suggested for a blood transfusion right away because he said that Jimin is having complications internally. It is taking too long for his body to produce the red blood cells needed for him to recover. He told us that this condition is not good. It could become worse, he added. He said that Jimin needs blood tranfusions as soon as possible. Everyone volunteered and was tested individually to see if any of us is compatible. But, none of us is. Even his parents are also not compatible due to some issues with their health. But, there's only one that has not been tested yet.
And that is Jungkook.
