Don't read my mind, Captain!
You...again...
Yeoju lay in the hospital room with her eyes closed, still pale, and Jimin was beside her in a daze.
Just then, Jungkook opened the hospital room door and came in.
전정국
Park Jimin... talk to me for a moment...
박지민
...What is it..
전정국
Just come out for a moment..
박지민
....
Jimin was about to follow Jungkook out without a word when he turned back to look at Yeoju.
박지민
under....
박지민
Tell me... now.
전정국
Here. Take this..
박지민
...What is it..
Jimin took what Jungkook handed him and remained silent.
전정국
..You know..what it is, right?..Ms. Yeoju..no..it's Min Yeoju's medical chart...
전정국
Look over there... at what's written on today's date...
Where Jimin looked down, Yeoju's condition was written.
박지민
Rupture of muscles near the heart caused by a knife...
전정국
It's a relief...
전정국
But... do you know... that??
박지민
What... do you know...
전정국
While I was here, I heard from a senior colleague who does psychotherapy a few days ago...
전정국
They say that if someone really wants to die, thinks there is no other way but to die, and has no one to lean on, they will end their own life in an instant.
전정국
But... look at Min Yeo-ju... that's not right...
전정국
I didn't want to die...
전정국
He was hoping someone would save him...
전정국
I... didn't want to leave you...
전정국
Stabbing him while avoiding the heart... wasn't a coincidence; he was unconsciously sending a signal to be saved...
Jimin could feel the sadness filling Jungkook's face as he spoke while pretending nothing was wrong. Not in his eyes... but in his face... in his words... the emotion felt was sadness.
Jimin clenched his fists tightly, trying hard to hold back the tears welling up.
전정국
....I.. am going..
Jungkook gently patted Jimin's shoulder, smiled, and walked forward.
After Jungkook left, Jimin simply could not bring himself to enter Yeoju's hospital room. He hesitated, fearing that if he saw her face, the tears he had been holding back would fall uncontrollably.

Eventually, Jimin decided he needed to go get some fresh air and walked outside.
A short while later
After composing himself, Jimin headed to Yeoju's hospital room.
박지민
...!!!! Min Yeo-ju..!?!?
The female lead was not in the hospital room.
박지민
Where on earth did you go...!!!!!!!
Just then, Yeoju entered from behind, covered Jimin's mouth with one hand, and put her index finger to her own mouth as she spoke.
민여주
..Shh!!. I'm here..
박지민
!?!??...N..you..your hair!!!!!
민여주
Ah... this??... I just tried cutting it...
Yeoju smiled, shrugged her shoulders once, and looked at Jimin.
박지민
......
민여주
I know... haha... I don't like it either...
박지민
.....under...
민여주
Is it... really that bad...?
Jimin held Yeoju in his arms.
민여주
...!!!!!!
박지민
You're pretty... because it's you... just everything... because it's you... you're pretty... Min Yeo-ju...
Jimin hugged Yeoju tightly and said
Unlike usual, Yeoju, who was not wearing high heels, fit perfectly into Jimin's arms and was nestled in him.
Yeoju rested her face on Jimin's shoulder and gently closed her eyes.
As I leaned against it, I could feel Jimin's heart beating fast, then gradually returning to its normal speed.
Yeoju hugged Jimin even tighter.
민여주
....(You must be really... surprised... I'm sorry.. Oppa..)
Jimin stroked Yeoju's head with one hand, closed his eyes, and held her tightly.
Jimin and Yeoju felt that each other's embrace was warm. And... they felt that they could not be warm without each other.
(Jimin's Perspective)
Min Yeo-ju... never... ever leave my embrace again...
Please always stay where I can reach out my arms and soon catch you...
When you run to me... hug me so tight that I can't breathe and my breath rises to my chin...
are you okay...
Because the happiness of having you by my side naturally makes me... breathe... again...
