Taehyung woke up to long messages in the morning coming from Hana, it was 7am in the morning and he could hear his group mates scuffle around in the apartment getting ready for the day. He bolted out of bed and headed for the living room.

"Did something happen to Hana?" He immediately called out to his members which whom are gathered around the kitchen island munching away at their breakfast. The members were shocked of his sudden question and appearance.

"No we hadn't heard from her, did she message the group chat?" Hobi looked at his phone with no new messages, confused.

"She directly messaged me saying there were complications last night and she wouldn't be able to hang out with me today" Tae looked at his hyungs expectantly, a worried expression plastered on his face. "What should I do hyung, I still want to see her."

"I think before you go, you should make a call to her nurse to see if you're allowed to" Jin spoke up as he was sliding some fried eggs onto a plate.

"Ah good idea hyung, it's just. I haven't seen her since that day and I really need to see her.." Tae's expression was troubled, Namjoon walked over and wrapped an arm around his shoulders.

"It's okay, I'm sure she's alright. She's a strong girl and we can all drop by this evening if we're allowed to, go show our support. Tae you make that call to Sena Noona okay?" He pat the boys back once more before returning to his kitchen island seat.

With a deep breath Tae nodded and started calling the hospital. After a few rings someone answered.

"Hello?" A manly voice sounded from the call. This was Sena's direct nurse line, had he gotten the right number? He checked the caller ID again and it was right.

"Uh, hello could I please speak to Sena?" He answered looking at the boys confused. They too shot him a confused look.

"May I know who is speaking?" The man replied back.

"This is.." he was worried maybe he had the wrong number and he was scared to disclose his identity so he stuck with his nickname Hana called him. "This is Tae" he quickly caught himself before it sounded suspicious.

"Oh! You're the boy she was supposed to meet today. Hi I'm Dr Jaehyun. I'm Hana's doctor. I've told Sena to have a bit of a break so I'm just taking over her role for a little." Tae nodded and had to complete the sole reason he was calling.

"Ah yes that would be me. Is Hana alright? Would it be possible if I could still visit today and maybe the rest of the boys tonight?" He rushed out the questions before he was too nervous.

"Yes of course, Hana is doing fine. Just a little drowsy because of her medication. You can come by but just make sure you don't disturb her rest, she needs it. Can you promise me that?" Jaehyun says kindly.

"Yes of course Dr Jaehyun!" Tae excitedly started smiling.

"Please just call me Jaehyun when we meet again, I'm not that much older than all of you" he laughed from his end.

"Sure thing, well I'll be there soon. Thanks again." Tae found this man really nice. He was happy that a doctor was taking good care of Hana.

"So? Is she okay?" Jimin asked, the boys also urgently waiting for Tae's reply.

"Yes she's fine, I was on a call with her doctor."

"Oh! We met him the other night, right kookie?" Jimin smiled at jungkook and Yoongi.

"Yeah he was a really young doctor" Yoongi voiced.

"Well he said we can still visit her as long as we don't interrupt her rest." The others nodded in agreement and had to take off to work.

"We'll see you this evening Tae, tell Hana we're coming tonight" Namjoon called before they closed the door behind them.

Tae quickly got dressed and headed for the hospital, he couldn't wait any longer.

Once at the hospital he said his hello's to the nurses, Sena was back at her post so he guessed he would have to meet Jaehyun another time.

Opening the door as softly and as slowly as he could, he closed it behind him before laying his eyes on the girl. This did not seem something light to him.

She looked pale, her creamy skin was looking a little off in her face as her eyes were delicately closed in a deep slumber. Her right arm was hooked into multiple IVs holding blood and plasma. Not to mention the multiple wires and measuring equipment strapped to her.

He felt a pain jab his chest seeing her in such a state, bringing him back to reality that she was honestly not an ordinary girl. A girl that would never be able to enjoy her life in the sunshine. His eyes raked over her as he walked to her side, shades of purple on her slightly exposed skin from her shirt riding up caught his eye and his breath hitched.

His hand slowly reached for it, fingers like feather touches on her bruised skin. He felt tears rolling down his face without him knowing.

He was incredibly upset over the fact that why did such a kind heart have to suffer so much just to live. In that moment he wished he could trade his own healthy body so that she could live a normal life. A life he thoroughly took for granted too many times to count.

The door softly opened, snapping Tae from his thoughts and immediately wiping his tears with his sleeve. Looking up he saw her nurse Sena looking at Hana with sad eyes.

"You're probably wondering what happened?" She softly spoke towards the young boy.

Tae couldn't speak and was still sniffling so he nodded in response.

"Last night she had some internal bleeding. We're still unsure what the cause was but we acted fast on it. It's not the first time this has happened during the recovery period of a procedure, Hana's body is very frail and reacts to anything that could cause a complication." Sena sighed and took a seat on the opposite side of the bed. Her eyes looked tired too.

"She'll be okay right?" Tae asked And Sena returned a smile.

"Of course, she just really needs her rest today. The bruise is coming down pretty fast and unfortunately she's not allowed to eat or drink for 24 hours so we have to supply her with the IV."

Tae nodded and looked at Hana's features again. Her cute button nose and her soft cheeks that was once rosy were looking rather translucent.

"It's alright if I stay by her right?" He looked up at Sena.

"Of course dear, are you sure you won't be too bored? She won't be awake for a while. Let me know if you need anything alright? I'll fix you some lunch" she smiles sweetly at Taehyung for him to stand up and bow to her in thanks and appreciation.

He sat back down with a slump in the chair, leaning back into it to get comfortable. Luckily the seats in her room were rather comforting. He reached for one of her hands and stroked her delicate fingers. Her hand seemed so small compared to his, how precious she felt in that moment to him.

After long moments pass of him holding her hand with his, he got up and started perusing her room. It was filled with multiple things, it was mildly cluttered but he believed she probably liked it like that. Multiple things lined her shelves and walls. She seemed to really like Harry Potter and Romance Manga's. He snickered a little finding bits of her personality around the room. Some things surprising him like the amount of games and generations of consoles to handheld devices, to even more adventurous anime's and cult classic movies and series. This girl had a love for anything she could get her hands on. He then saw a single photo frame leaning against the wall. He picked it up gently, the frame already losing its colour from how old it was. She saw a small girl wearing a cute yellow dress posing for the camera in front of a field of flowers. It was a beautiful and adoring picture. The girls smile made you want to smile back.

"Tae..?" A soft sweet voice resonated from the other end of the room. Making him turn towards the bed eyes wide at the voice.

"Tae is that you?" She asked again groggily, her eyes gently opening before shutting again.

He gently put the frame back down and went to her side, holding her hand again.

"Yes Hana, it's me, Tae" he endearingly spoke back, stroking her hand with his thumb gently.

A small sleepy smile appeared on her pale face.

"Am I dreaming? I thought you wouldn't come" she struggled to speak but he could vaguely make out what she was saying.

"Shh don't speak Hana, I'm not going anywhere" he softly cooed and it was like music to her ears.

She didn't say anything after that and just drifted off into a sweet dream where she felt Tae stay by her side all day, singing her a beautiful lullaby while he held her hand. She wished it was true, she wished she never had to wake up from her dream. But little did she know,

He did stay.
