Jennie

*1 week past*

I was home and still feeling weak but not as that day I went to the clinic. Apparently, I had a infection in my lungs which was why I couldn't breathe anymore. Without my lungs I was pretty much dying. I still feel weak but I knew they wouldn't let me die. They need me and always will. We're stuck together for life sadly.

I didn't worry about college because I already had taken my finals a month before. I loved getting ahead of everyone. So, I could focus on my painting more but I didn't even paint anymore. My parents had more things to do since I couldn't. It was already night time and I had to sleep with the window open. Not all the way but half open because my doctor said it would help my lungs. I couldn't stand breathing something else besides my breathing machine or fresh air. My lungs were to delicate and I couldn't risk it. I slept alot because of the medicine I took and breathe that medicine almost all day.

*Tap Tap*

I opened my eyes to the bright sun reaching into my room. I turned a little to see the time 7:29 A.M. and I fixed my breathing mask. I closed my eyes and put the blanket over my chest as my lungs felt cold. I felt someone's hand caressed my cheek and I didn't open my eyes as I felt like I were dreaming.

I kept feeling the touch and I slowly opened my eyes. I gasped and winced in pain. I put my hand over my chest as my lungs were in so much pain and fixed my breathing mask.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to scare you." He said.

I looked down at his wedding finger and luckily he was still available. I looked up at his face and then at my loud machine.

I slowly speaked and asked "How's Jennie?"

Suga looked at the tube that was connected to my mask and then looked at me.

He sighed and said "Is that why you got like this?"

I slowly said "No."

Suga said "We went out with eachother just to see if you would tell me the truth but you didn't. I thought you would come running back to me when you saw us on tv but you didn't. I then thought I did mess up and maybe you didn't want to see me ever again. I'm still going out with Jennie though."

I frowned and asked "You love her?"

Suga said "No but I'm forced to go out with her now. By her parents and my boss. Jennie is a great person but she's not you."

I felt myself getting hard to breathe and I slowly sat up. I took my mask off and said "Give me my asthma inhaler please." I pointed at it as Suga rushed to give it for me. I quickly breathed out of it twice and put my mask back on.

I laid back down and said "Why are you here?"

Suga looked at me and said "I had been trying to contact you but someone else answered. I didn't see you on social media or school. I got worried about you and I came here. I didn't see you come out of the house and I thought you left. I saw your window open a little and thought maybe your here."

I started to feel so tired and wanted to sleep again.

Suga said "I'll stay here and wait for you to wake up if your tired."

I said "Just go back to Jennie. I'm fine."

Suga looked at me upset and said "I'll wait here because I want too."

I didn't want to argue so I fell asleep and woke up two hours later.

Suga was sitting by me with food on his lap and I sat up. I took my mask off, turned the machine off and told Suga to completely open the window.

Suga looked at me and asked "Why did you stop eating?"

I got a plate and said "This infection makes it hard to eat and breathe."

Suga said "Why did you wait so long to go to the clinic? Don't say you didn't."

I ignored him and started to eat the Chinese food. I ate really slowly and not to much. Everything tasted like medicine and it made me want to throw up.

"Your done already? You hardly ate anything." Suga said.

I got up slowly and walked to the bathroom.

Suga said "If you need help I'll shower you or anything."

I rolled my eyes as I heard him.

I got out after a few minutes and laid back in bed.

"No mask?" He asked.

I said "There's so much fresh air coming in. I should be fine for now."

Suga said "I wanted to tell you that I will be staying here to work instead of Korea."

I covered my body with my blanket and said "Suga you can go back to Jennie. I'm glad you stopped by but you can leave."

Suga said "She's on her date right now."

I raised an eyebrow but knew he wasn't lying.

Suga said "I don't know why my boss thought this was a great idea."

I didn't say anything as I was getting disappointed because I couldn't get rid of him. Old high school memories started to pop up in my mind.

Suga said "You know I felt horrible after what I said to you but I really thought you would come back. I was coming back to you but Jennie got in the way and my boss. Things just got so complicated but I see your situation was more complicated."

I heard the entrance door open and we looked at eachother. "Leave!" I whispered.

There was no time though Suga hid in my closet, I got his food and hid it under my bed.

"You need to hurry up and get better! I'm already tired of doing everything you do in a daily basis!" My mother yelled as she opened my door.

I felt like Suga would find out about my happy life as I said "I'm feeling better. I should be doing good, soon."

My mother rolled her eyes and stopped. I felt my heart stop as she made a face. "Is that Chinese food I smell?" She asked.

"I heard the neighbors from next door saying that's what they were going to eat for breakfast." I quickly lied.

She frowned and said "Who eats that in the morning? Oh yeah those kor-"

I quickly said with a smile "What are we going to eat anyways?!"

She said "I don't know I'll go see."

She left and I looked at my closet.

Suga came out and said "She sounds kind of rude. Don't you think?"

"She's like that." I said really serious.

Suga frowned and said "What was she going to say before she left?"

I shrugged and said "You really need to leave with your food."

Suga said "I don't want to. Can you keep me in your closet?"

I wasn't taking any jokes from him as he left me awhile ago and I left him to. I didn't say anything and he said "Ok I'll leave but can I come again?"

I said "No you can't."

Suga said "Fine I'll hide in your-"

I got frustrated and said "Why can't you just leave?!"

Suga got quiet and I started to feel bad.

Suga said "I'm kind of scared I'll mess everything up when I leave now."

I frowned as I didn't understand him. We heard footsteps coming and Suga left. I quickly got my phone and put a video on. My mother came in and said "I thought you were on the phone talking."

I said "Oh no I'm looking at this video."

She nodded and left. "This guy will give me a heart attack one of these days." I said in my head.
