NeeRin had seated on the corner of your bed were you had left her to go bring some coffee for her and yourself.

Her visit was more than unexpected but you put her inside and instead of the living room she asked for a more private place to talk to you and you obviously had nothing better than your room.

"Here. I hope i didn't left you wait long." You told her as you entered your room with the tray in your hands and she said nothing, till you approached and you placed it on your commode.

"Make yourself at home. I suppose." You awkwardly told her as her presence was not normal for you and you were actually pretty shocked by seeing her even though you didn't show it.

She was still Jimin's 'mother' someone that still thought of you as his girlfriend and you just didn't know with what intentions she had come to visit you so you were feeling alert.

"I know that my presence isn't pleasant to you. Still i took the courage to approach you cause i have no one else to go to. I hope you understand." She spoke formally and you just sat at the chair opposite her, getting ready to listen to whatever she had come to tell you.

" Your presence isn't unpleasant, just unexpected. Please don't hesitate to tell me whatever it is that you came here for. I am rather curious, i admit." You told her and she looked around the room as if she was checking if anyone was around, making you feel nervous as if she was about to let you in in something that you shouldn't know.

" You know, it's not easy for me to say but i will recognize that you are a good person. Otherwise Jimin would have never liked you this much." She said, her words making you feel weird inside at the possibility that he really liked you.

"It hurts me but i am also happy to know he is loving again and being happy. And because of this fact and because i am sure you love him too,i came to ask of your help."Her eyes looked at yours, her facial expression totally serious and you just nodded your head, giving her the signal to continue.

" My husband is sick. He doesn't have much time left to live. This is something no one but me knows for now. "Her words echoed in your ears as they had shocked you to the core, these words being the least expected thing to hear coming out of her mouth.

" Mr Park? How? No, this can't be happening. "You expressed your surprise as your face did too, looking at her with wide eye full of disbelief.

" Unfortunately it's true and the news won't fall well to Taehyung nor Jimin when he decides to let them know. If he ever does. "She said, her eyes falling sadly to the floor, allowing you to notice the light glimpse of stress that was eating her up with this information that she had to hold to herself, as her husband has asked of her to not tell his sons nor mention it anywhere.

However NeeRin couldn't take keeping this a secret anymore because she couldn't help but imagine how hurt they would be if he was to die and they wouldn't even know, to pass some more time with him or tell him things that they wanted to tell.

Their time was running out, the same hers was. Because she didn't want to have any regrets either but she couldn't tell him the sins and wrongdoings towards him. She was still afraid as always but time was not waiting for them anymore and somehow she had decided to not let them go blindly of this situation.

Telling them though was also something she wasn't allowed to do, so she had thought of you and even thought she knew it wasn't right to pass such a burden on you, she had no  better idea.

On the meanwhile you had fallen silent diving on your own thoughts, thinking how hard this must be on her, on Mr Park himself but how hard is going to be on Jimin and Taehyung as well. Knowing their situation and the guilt they already felt towards their father's face, this was going to take them down big time.

"I am telling you all this because i need you to prepare them, somehow. And obviously be there for him and love him when he won't love himself." NeeRin added and you looked at her, understand that she was telling you to do what she couldn't do herself because she had no position by his side anymore and after this Jimin might hate her even more, blame her even more, the same way he will hate and blame himself.

But the problem was that you weren't his girlfriend and he didn't really loved you. Your love could not protect him. Heck you can't even approach him anymore because he cut ties with you and called the agreement off. How were you supposed to get involved with him, when you know well that he will push you away after what happened at new years.

"How about you? It must be hard on you too." Your question got her by surprise and you could tell that she was touched as she looked down with a weary smile.

"You know. You are the only one that has asked how i am in years." She told you as she got up and you followed her action, standing up yourself.

"I know i am being to much with you but i also know that you know what to do and you can understand why i did it. Thank you for hearing me out. Please call me if you need anything." She took out of her pocket her card and extended it towards you as she said so and you took it hesitantly, still not sure of how you would act next.

Your mind was a mess right now and it was obvious by the way you were speaking so little but it was also understandable that it would be like that, the news were too shocking after all.

You escorted her till the door in silence and she left without looking back, your eyes following her figure till she disappeared behind the closing doors of the elevator.

You turned around and entered your apartment, closing the door behind you still in a daze as you walked towards your room, her card still on your right hand.

Once inside you slammed your body on the bed, gazing the ceiling with no expression as your mind started thinking about all this.

About how she had done this out of love for him, how she was carrying the worry of a storm coming her way and how she was going to face all the attacks she will be under. Because you understood well that Jimin was going to blame her big time for every single thing he blames himself too.

This is such a mess.

You thought as you ruffled your hair in frustration of realizing that many people were going to get hurt and you could do nothing about it.

You couldn't protect anyone from the pain of falling but being there to reach out your hand to him to get up was something you also weren't in position to do.

However one thing was for sure, you had to try and you would do just that. Starting from that exact moment that you stood up, grabbed your jacket and keys and headed out to look for him.
