Jungkook really came to my hospital room right after school, still in his uniform, without even changing clothes. Even though I was in the garden in front of the hospital.
“Hey lady!”
Even if you're taking a nap
“…“
Jungkook came to visit me every single day without fail. And one day, when I was alone, he bought me a coloring book and colored pencils so I wouldn't be bored.
The time he always comes is 4:00 PM
“Yeoju, if you get better, what do you want to do first?”
"Hmm... I want to jump"
"Huh? Run?"
"Yeah, I can't run because of my heart."
”…“
"The reason I have to stay here my whole life is because I was young"
”…“
"I ran hard once"
Jungkook looked at me with sad eyes and finished coloring in the coloring book we were using. Now that I think about it, he's big and tall, and it's kind of funny to see him sitting next to me coloring.
Is it cute?
To me, Jungkook was like a ray of sunshine. My heart was dark with the thought of having to stay in the hospital room for the rest of my life, but thanks to Jungkook, who came to visit me every day with something fun, light came into my heart. I don't know how long I will live, but I hope Jungkook will continue to come visit me until then.
That was all I wanted from Jeongguk.
But a few days later, Jungkook started not coming often, saying things like it was exam time, a friend's birthday, or a performance evaluation. I expected this to happen, but on days when Jungkook didn't come, the seat next to me felt empty. Lonely.
But it was okay.
16:00, the time when Jungkook arrives
If I just wait for that moment, it feels like time passes quickly.
Because I was excited again
If Jungkook said he wasn't coming, the excitement would cool down.
Still, it was good.
I made my first friend
Because I can feel that emotion
