"---what do you want to say jimin" jeongguk asked staring at jimin with his usual poker face---not a bit hint of any emotion

they were certainly sitting inside the canteen area in hospital----facing each other.

"see jeongguk I'm not a person who judge people easily however it's totally opposite with you----" jimin directly said not trying to puzzle things

"I don't understand you even a bit, nor I like you so trusting you with my bestfriend it is a big deal for me----"

jeongguk frowned upon hearing about his husband but still he keep quite, trying to understand what exactly jimin wants to say---

"taehyung, he used to get treated like a prince, his brothers, uncle kim, me----we used to treat him like a fragile glass not just because of his health condition but it was because we love him a lot----"

"taehyung wasn't a person who ask for anything but we were always ready to anything to bring smile on his face----"

"---he was grown up in a loveable environment where people always shower him with love and affection----"

jimin smile bitterly remembering about the old days with taehyung----

" but everything changes when he gets married---" jimin heavily utter voice less with disappointment and sadness

"---everything changed when uncle decided to marry him off with you, I can't blame him though he just wants his son to be with someone who can protect him from this cruel and still homophobic world----"

"he don't want to die seeing his son without partner who can stand beside him not for money but for love---"

jeongguk clenched his fist anxiously as he remembered the reason behind why his father agreed to the marriage without even asking his consent---

they didn't think twice before deciding what's good for them, they believe marrying their child will be a good for both of them

they put their beliefs over their sons choices----

but was it right thing to do?

"---I'm not trying to blame you jeongguk but it's true, I know you were forced you never wanted to marry taehyung----"

"but regardless of everything you are his husband, wasn't it your responsibility to take care of your spouse?"

"for whatever reason, or however you are married to him right, wasn't it your responsibility to take care of him---like he do?"

jeongguk's heart clenched with guilt and pain, he knows jimin was right, he was right from the beginning----

"he said his jeongguk is bad in showing emotions---" jimin chuckled remembering his best friend's words

as again jeongguk heart ached upon hearing jimin's words----

"but let me tell you jeongguk loving or caring for someone from heart is not enough, showing it, is important too----"

"---no matter how many times taehyung convinced me that you care about him, or how he understands you but I know he crave to get loved too---"

"----just like any other couples he too wants to get held by his lover, his husband, his heart must crave for affection like any other person in this world---"

jimin choked slightly tearing us bit it was too overwhelming for him

" maybe he is happy by loving you but I bet jeon, he'll be the happiest if you love him too----"

" just a bit of care, a bit of love jeongguk, I don't know what was the reason you are like this or the reason which holding you back to show your care toward taehyung----"

"----but not anymore we don't have time, taehyung don't have time"

jimin sobs out not holding back his tears anymore.

jeongguk suddenly felt a painful lump in his throat as he blinked away his slight tears----

"---jimin-n i____"

"no jeongguk you have to do it, you have to love taehyung and if not then at least pretend it!"

jimin frustratingly yet firmly said wiping out his tears furiously

"what are saying park!----"

"I know I'm wrong okay? but I'm only being selfish for my best friend---"

"I don't want him to know about his death his disease even before he live happily---"

"----i want him to be the happiest before he knows about his condition----"

"this is wrong jimin-n, what if something goes wrong, no we can't risk it" jeongguk worryingly said

"we have to jeongguk! please do it for taehyung---"

jimin pleads helplessly "he lost himself while loving you, don't he deserve a bit of care and love?---"

"if you care for taehyung then do it jeongguk, I beg you----"

"----at least let him die happily"

"Jimin!" jeongguk cut off him clenching his fist out of anxiousness

"okay-y I'll do it for taehyung" he helplessly mumbled not finding any better way in the situation

" taehyung spend all those three years while loving me, living for me only---"

jeongguk heavily mumbled out thinking about his husband's unconditional love for him---

his heart couldn't stop aching whenever he thinks about him----

as if it is scared to lose him for ever.

maybe it is ----

he breaths shakily as he looked at jimin with determination---

"---but I'll live these three months for him jimin, only for him---" he firmly said

" I'll live these three months only for taehyung."
