61 He Knows

Jisoo was lying down in her bed staring blankly at her ceiling. This had become her daily routine after staying up all night thinking about Jin. She had tried really hard to not love Jin anymore. To not care, but it was easier said than done.

She was just as miserable as Jin was. Jin had work to distract him while Jisoo had school.

Her phone soon rings and she slowly turns her head towards her phone. She grabs her phone to see that Taehyung was calling her. Her eyes widen before she sat up quickly in bed. She hesitates, debating if she wanted to pick up or not. Remembering the last encounter Taehyung had with Yoongi made her let the phone ring in her hand before it stop ringing.

She sighs sadly to herself as the phone starts to ring once more. She lets the phone ring until it went silent again. Then it beeped and she saw that she received a text message from Taehyung.

'Jisoo, call me back as soon as you see this message. I need to talk to you about Jin Hyung.'

Jisoo heart drops when she saw the text. Every cell and particle in her body wanted to call Taehyung back. She wanted to know what was going on with Jin, but she didn't. She couldn't. Not anymore. She had to keep her act up. She needed to pretend she doesn't care for Jin anymore.

So she sent a text back to Taehyung.

'I thought Yoongi made it clear to you already? I don't care what happens to Jin. Stop calling me and texting me. I don't want to see either one of you.'

Taehyung scoffs and lets out a cry of disbelief as he read Jisoo's text. The two were already parked outside Jisoo's house.

"Whaaaaaa jinja, this girl! She's really gonna pretend until the end. Hyungsu-nim, I'll be sure to make you run to Hyung," Taehyung angrily talks to himself which made Haeun giggle next to him.

"Are you ready to put on your actress face babe?" Taehyung asks Haeun as he put his phone down.

Haeun nods to answer Taehyung and they both got out of Taehyung's car and made their way to the front door. Taehyung presses the doorbell and now, it was time for actor Taehyung to make his debut.

Jisoo hears the doorbell. She immediately gets up wondering who was at the door. She met Yoongi outside her room and they both moved down the stairs to the front door.

"Who is it?" Jisoo asks as she opens the door only to freeze when she saw Taehyung on the other side.

"T-Taehyung. What are you doing here?"

"To get you of course, since you ignored my calls."

Jisoo let out a deep sigh before firmly putting on her own actress mask.

"Leave Taehyung. I don't care about what happened to Jin. I never cared before in the past and won't start to care now. You're wasting time."

Jisoo turns around and starts to head back to her room.

"Jin Hyung is blind Jisoo," Taehyung calls out quick to her and it caused Jisoo to freeze in place. Her heart drops at the sudden announcement from Taehyung.

"His eyes failed him. He wasn't doing so well. His vision started to get blurry again. Now he's gone blind and there's no way he will ever get his sight back."

Jisoo turns around with glistening eyes to study Taehyung. There was no way Jin could have gone blind again. No, Taehyung had to be lying.

"You're lying..." Jisoo whispered towards Taehyung, not wanting to believe him.

Taehyung let out a loud fake scoffed laugh. He needed to be aggressive. Since he didn't exactly end on good terms with the Min siblings. Taehyung still had to pretend to be furious with Jisoo for leaving Jin.

"He lost his vision again because of you Jisoo! You left him and you broke Hyung! He refuses to get any treatment because of you!"

Jisoo's eyes widen when she finally let everything sink in.

"What do you mean?"

"Hyung refuses to go back the hospital to get check-in. So, I've hired an actual private nurse to care for Hyung, but everything is turning out for the worst. He's refusing to take any medicine and even now, he's caught a bad fever. I would never step foot back here if it weren't for Hyung."

Taehyung let his eyes be filled with anger and hate. He made sure to convey those feelings well to convince Jisoo. Haeun finally steps in.

"Hello Miss Min Jisoo I assume. I'm Kim Seokjin's nurse, Park Haeun. I work at Seoul Medical Center and was recently hired by this man to care for Seokjin. His condition when I first starting as his nurse was fairly well, but as the weeks went by, he started showing signs of not being able to see well. He would often run into doors and complained about a headache that caused him lots of stress. He would often cry and barely ate anything."

Jisoo's face falls into utter shock as Haeun uses big medical terms that Haeun could possible think off at the top of her head.

"Please, Miss Jisoo. We need your help. Taehyung here says you're the only one who could convince Seokjin to get any treatment. He needs to go back to the hospital."

"Minji..." Yoongi calls out to his little sister. Yoongi could see right past Taehyung's acting. As Haeun was talking to Jisoo about Jin's condition, Yoongi study Taehyung's facial expression. Taehyung looked too calm. Yoongi even noticed a tiny little smirk on the corner of Taehyung's lips.

"...I think you-"

"Yoongi Hyung," Taehyung calls out to interrupt Yoongi, which made him freeze in place as he locks gazes with Taehyung. Remembering their last meeting, Yoongi thought he would never see or hear Taehyung call him Hyung ever again.

'Goodbye, Min Yoongi. And as promised, you'll never see me again.'

Taehyung pleads with burning orbs that Yoongi could catch on. Taehyung shook his head as little as he could towards Yoongi, hoping it would make Yoongi allow Jisoo to go with him. Yoongi was quite for a while, trying to process everything little detail that Taehyung was doing or trying to say.

"...I think you should go Jisoo," Yoongi finally speaks out.

"Mingi Oppa," Jisoo sadly calls out to her brother.

"Go see him one last time Jisoo."

"Oppa I can't. You know why I can't!" Jisoo pleads, hoping that Yoongi would be the first to refuse to let her go. Her heart, mind, body, and soul had been itching to run to Jin the moment she heard that Jin had lost his vision again. She was already growing weak. She needed her big brother to force her to stay otherwise she was going to break.

Yoongi grabs hold of Jisoo's wrist and drag her away from the door and into the kitchen. Taehyung watches with widening eyes, afraid that his plan might have backfired.

Yoongi let go of Jisoo's wrist and gently grips her by her shoulder.

"Jisoo-ah, don't you think Jin deserves to know why you left him? You left him just like Sunni did. You saw how much that affected Jin. Are you really going to do that to him again?"

"Oppa..." Jisoo softly calls out.

Memories of when Sunni had left Jin and never bother to go see him one bit came back to hunt Jisoo. She remembers how hurts Jin had been and how much hope he had when waiting on Sunni every day.

"You told me he waited for Sunni every day. You told me he asked for her every moment that he could. What makes you think he hasn't done the same with you? He loves you Jisoo."

Jisoo finally let go of all tears. Her heart breaking into tiny pieces when Yoongi said those words. She was doing the exact same thing that Sunni had done.

"Oh god Oppa. What have I done?"

"Go Jisoo. He needs you right now. More than ever. And once you've gotten him to agree to seek help and get better, and if you are sure that you don't want to love him anymore, then you can break up with Jin. Don't make him wait and love you anymore."

Jisoo was practically bawling in tears by the time Yoongi had convinced her to go with Taehyung. Jisoo runs towards Taehyung after giving Yoongi a quick hug.

"Taehyung Oppa, please take me to Jin," Jisoo says as she quickly put on her shoes before she rushes out of the front door. Haeun quickly follows after Jisoo. Taehyung was about to turn around and follow after the two, but he stops in his track when he notices Yoongi in the corner of his eye. Taehyung turns to face Yoongi. He let the hugest grin fall upon his face before calling out to Yoongi.

"Yoongi Hyung, I'll be back to deal with you later. Wait for me."

And he runs after the two girls, leaving Yoongi still questioning Taehyung's weird behavior.

**********

Once Taehyung parked his car, Jisoo got out of the car and ran towards the building. Taehyung and Haeun let Jisoo run ahead while they took their sweet time following after, with occasional giggles and silent grins.

Jisoo runs up the stairs, not even bothering to take the elevator. She arrives outside Jin's apartment and quickly put in the passcode. She opens the door and rushes inside. She made sure to take off her shoes and run into Jin's room.

"Jin..." she calls out but stops when she saw Jin lying down in bed. Her tears flowed down her cheeks at how frail and pale Jin was since the last time she saw him at her school. He looked so weak. She slowly made her way to his side and sat next to Jin as he slept peacefully. She tenderly touched his forehead to feel the burning skin.

"Oppa..." she calls out softly as she gently moves her hand down to caress Jin's left cheek.

Jin stirred awake as he felt a familiar touch on his cheek. Her touch that was so soft and he knew her touch. Her scent, her sweet peach scent that was all too familiar.

"Oppa..." He heard her voice.

"Minji?" Jin softly calls her name, afraid to open his eyes. Afraid that it was all just another dream and when he open his eyes, she wouldn't really be next to him.

"Ne, Oppa," Jisoo answers Jin in the tiniest voice that she could let out.

"It's me. I'm here Oppa."

Jin's heartbeat had increased by ten folds, but he recalls Taehyung's words.

'I need you to stay calm. I need you to not be too shock or angry when you see her.'

Jin tries to calm down his fast-paced heart, but he couldn't. It was beating so fast and would jump right out of his chest any second now. Knowing that it really wasn't a dream and he would get to finally get to see his beautiful Minji, his heart wouldn't slow down.

Jin finally opens his eyes. He finally saw her face and his eyes widen when he saw the girl who was sitting next to him. Her face that he had seen so often before. Her voice that he has heard so much of before.

"Jis-" Jin tried to call out her name but stops when he saw Taehyung by the door behind Jisoo. He was frantically shaking his head no and shushing Jin. Jin furrowed his brows at Taehyung's behavior.

'Act, Hyung! You need to act!' Taehyung mouths back to Jin.

'When you see her, I need you to act for me Hyung. You'll understand what I mean the moment you see her.'

Jin's gaze moves back onto Jisoo face. He stares deeply into Jisoo's eyes as he drinks up her face. Every single detail and moles that she had on her face. Her pink lips that he has tasted countless of times.

"Jin Oppa," Jisoo calls out sadly towards Jin as she continues to caress Jin's cheeks, not knowing that Jin has seen her. He's seen all of her and he's already absorbed all her visual into his mind.

So it was you all along, Min Jisoo.

"Oppa, I'm sorry for not coming sooner, but I'm here now. You must have been so scared when it happened again."

"Huh?" Jin asked feeling a bit confused and not sure what Jisoo was talking about.

"Let's go to the hospital. We need to know how you lost your vision again. It's not fair. The doctors said you were going to be okay. They said you weren't going to be a blind man anymore."

Jin understood now why Taehyung wanted him to act. Jisoo was Minji. Minji was Jisoo. She didn't want him to know that she was Jisoo and the only reason why she was confident enough to be here now was because she thought Jin had turned blind again. Jin let a small smile falls onto his lip before he played along with his brother's plan.

"Jis- uh.. Minji, I don't need to go to the hospital anymore. I'm fine now that you are here with me."

"Oppa please," Jisoo says as she took his right hand and brought it up to her tear stained cheeks. Jin watched as the tiny girl cries silently.

He didn't know that he could fall deeply in love with someone who he was already so in love with. He didn't know until he saw this girl that was next to him. He didn't know until he sat up in bed and wiped her tears away because every drop pained him. He didn't know until he had leaned in to kiss her tenderly on her lips that he had missed so much.

And now he knows. He knows that he is utterly and completely in love with Min Jisoo.
