Boys Planet, Episode 11: Gearing up for the final jam

Welcome back. This has turned out to be one interesting show. We’ve been putting pins in several topics for later discussion, and believe me, once I’m done with the recaps, we will go there. Jay Chang has a whole pin to himself. But it’s only fair to let this show finish having its say first. So let’s hear Boys Planet out and dive right into Episode 11.

Now that the 3rd Mission is over, our trainees get a break. They pack their bags and take some pictures together in a photo booth before heading out. They know that eliminations are coming up, and not all of them will be moving on to the final mission. But for now, they definitely need a vacation.

We see cell phone footage of their time off. One of them, I think it’s Ricky, has an amazing art studio. Some of them go back to regular jobs they had taken time off from to be on this show. We see them with their families and pets and hanging out with their friends. I get a kick out of a scene where a trainee asks his friends who they’ve been voting for on the show, and they tell him Sung Han Bin. The trainee asking the question is not Sung Han Bin.

Finally, it’s time to return to Planet Camp. They’re packing their bags to return for the eliminations, which means they probably won’t unpack right away. The happy mood of the previous few days is darkening into anxiety.

We return to our shiny-floored studio. There are only 18 survivor seats. This is going to be heartbreaking. Our trainees are stressed out. Even when they do their playful entrances, mugging for the cameras, it’s not as carefree as previous entrances. Their packed suitcases are probably still in the hallway.

After they are settled in, we are introduced to a new Star Master. Her name is Jeon So Mi. I look her up, and she’s a legend. She’s a South Korean and Canadian singer and K-pop idol, a fourth degree black belt in Taekwondo, fashion designer, and philanthropist. And she’s only 23 years old. If these guys have to endure another elimination round, at least they can be distracted by this amazing icon. As we’ve come to expect from trainees who encounter a beautiful woman, they are all struggling to form coherent sentences.

Let’s do this. And once again, we are going out of order with these rankings.

11th place is Park Han Bin. He’s jumped two spots. He won the highest individual score on Team Switch and has won that top spot on his team in all three missions. I still think he’ll make it to the final group.

12th place is Park Gun Wook. Oof. He fell three spots. He was on Team En Garde, and I fully expected him to win the top spot on his team, but he lost to Kim Gyu Vin. He’s gained a huge fan following among the Star Creators, so I’m guessing their devotion will be what puts him in the final debut group. The Top 9 is going to look a little different this time.

15th place is Yoon Jong Woo. He was in 15th place last time as well. We also learn here that he’s an independent trainee. He was the original leader of Team Over Me, but after the reshuffling debacle, he left his own team and joined Team Switch. I think it was the right move, considering how burned out he was after a week of wasted effort.

16th place is Geum Joon Hyun, according to the translator, which left me scrambling through my notes until I saw his name on the screen, which says Kum Jun Hyeon. What the hell with these translators? Anyway, he has slid from 10 to 16. He was on Team En Garde, but that’s all I have of him in my notes. He just isn’t standing out to me. Unless the translators have been getting his name wrong all this time.

Now it’s time for a flashback, because why not. I will admit, I like seeing the outdoor shots of Seoul in the springtime. The cherry blossoms are beautiful. Our boys are enjoying the sunshine at a camp site. Then a clothes rack is wheeled out, and they have to put on animal onesies.

Okay, this is another big thing in Korean culture. When K-pop idols do variety shows, at least one of them will inevitably have to wear an animal costume. I see it in Kdramas too. Put a pin in this, even though it’s not specifically about this show. I need to know why Korean culture is obsessed with making adults dress like toddlers on Halloween.

Foreigners Jay and Ricky trying to communicate “daejoonggyotong” (traffic)

The trainees play games, like having to put on pants without using their hands. This is pretty funny to watch. When they team up and start using their teeth to pull up the pants of other contestants, the camera keeps trying to cut away before Mnet gets slapped with an indecency charge. Then there’s another game about finding a racoon that I don’t fully understand. In another game, they try to convey words and phrases to each other while wearing noise-cancelling headphones. This game is particularly challenging for the foreigners, as all the messages are in Korean. Although “Killing Part” is one of the phrases, but they’ve been saying that in English the entire show, so I assume they’ve adopted that phrase into Korean, just like English adopts words from other languages.

They end the evening with barbeque and fried chicken while still wearing their animal jammies. Okay, that was a fun flashback. I didn’t understand what was going on half the time, but it was really funny. Now back to the anxiety fest.

As they wait to hear the next ranking, Ricky says to Jay, “Let’s survive together.” I like seeing the bonds these trainees have formed over the past several weeks. Jay won’t make the final group, but I want to see him do one more live performance.

13th place is Jay. He’s dropped another spot, but he’s still here. This American will go down fighting. As the other trainees applaud, Hui remarks that Jay deserves to be on that final stage. The look on Jay’s face tells me he knows he’s probably not going to make it to the final group. I think the last mission taught him a hard lesson. He doesn’t flash that boyish smile once, even when his name is called.

14th place is Yoo Seung Eon. Up three spots. Not bad. Someone please get him to his chair so he can get his blood pressure back to normal.

17th place is Lee Jeong Hyeon. Wow. He jumped up from 24th place. He was on Team Over Me, the group that won the 3rd mission and got to be on M Countdown. He breaks down in tears when his name is called. I’m sure he thought he was going home.

10th place is Hui. Up one spot from before. Now to find out the Top 9.

9th place is Seok Matthew. Dropped five spots and barely stayed in the Top 9.

8th place is Ricky. Up from 14th place and finally in the Top 9. I still believe he’ll be in the final group. He’s also got a huge fan base among the Star Creators. He seems to like the view from his new seat in the winner’s circle.

7th place is Kim Gyu Vin. Dropped one spot. He won the top individual score on Team En Garde, which probably helped keep him in the Top 9.

6th place is Keita. Up from 8th place. He’s another one who will probably make it to the final group. So far, that’s three people I’m betting on. We already know Gun Wook will make it, so now I’m betting on Keita, Ricky, and Park Han Bin.

5th place is Han Yu Jin. Dropped two spots. He was on Team Say My Name and left the heart and chocolate milk for a classmate in the opening sketch. As he makes his way to his seat, we find out he’s only 17 years old.

4th place is Kim Tae Rae. Up from 7th place. That strong voice from Team Switch is getting noticed by the voters.

3rd place is Kim Ji Woong. Up from 5th place. He’s our former BL actor who is getting closer to returning to his first love, K-pop. I hope he’s ready for the drop in salary.

2nd place is Zhang Hao, who has been absolutely killing it. Not only did Team Over Me win the Artist Battle, he was the top vote-getter in that group.

1st place is still Sung Han Bin, keeping the Jooheon Pledge unbroken. He looks genuinely stunned.

So now, we’re just waiting for 18th place, the last spot. I’m still pulling for Na Kamden and Cha Woong Ki. I know we’ll have to lose at least one of them, and this is also the end of the line for sparkly Takuto. We’ll also probably lose Haruto as well, so he and Takuto can go debut as TOZ. (Of course it’s an acronym. To Our Zone. God, I love K-pop.)

Yes, I’m stalling. I don’t want to say goodbye to a lot of these trainees.

18th place is … Na Kamden! He looks stunned, and Jay almost falls out of his chair. Our two Americans are still in the game. I don’t know if Kamden will make it to the final group, and I don’t feel strongly enough to bet on him, but I’m glad I’ll get to see both him and Jay perform again.

Jeon So Mi announces the final round of global voting will now begin for these 18 finalists. This time, Star Creators can vote once a day for just one trainee. We’re really getting close to the end.

We watch the eliminated trainees gather their things and leave the dorm. The goodbyes are harder this time. Everyone hangs out in the rooms talking, reluctant to move on, even the survivors.

The next morning, we get more shots of springtime and cherry blossoms. There are a lot of empty beds in the dorm. Some trainees have rooms all to themselves now.

A mystery guest strolls into the dorm, strumming a guitar. He sets up a mic stand and monitor and starts playing the Boys Planet theme song at top volume, waking everyone up. It’s today’s Star Master, Kim Jae Hwan. He’s a former member of Wanna One, along with our Star Master back in Episode 3, Hwang Min Hyun. Maybe he just got caught up watching these episodes and is here to get revenge for none of the trainees wanting to cover the Wanna One song in the first mission.

I love that most of the trainees try to ignore the song and go back to sleep. Wanna One gets zero respect on this show, and the snarky side of me is 100% here for it. Park Han Bin finally stumbles out of bed, looking like he’s about to tell Guitar Boy to knock off the racket, and then he sees the cameras and changes his mind, choosing to bow politely instead.

Guitar Boy (I’m sorry, that’s just going to be his name from now on) starts barging into the rooms of the other trainees, still singing and playing at the top of his lungs. If this were America, he’d be facing at least one loaded gun.

When the trainees finally stagger out of bed and gather around him in the hallway, he announces that he’s here as their morning alarm. He says this like it’s an honor being bestowed upon them, and I suddenly realize that at least half the trainees have no idea who he is.

I laughed so hard at this. On every show I’ve recapped so far, the trainees have lost their minds over every new judge, coach, or panelist, even the yoga lady back on Hot Blood. These Boys Planet trainees even recognized the other Wanna One guy at the first mission. I’m willing to be charitable and say they don’t recognize Guitar Boy because they haven’t wiped the sleep out of their eyes yet.

Guitar Boy tells them to join him in singing the theme song, and 18 bewildered and still-groggy voices join him in what I’ll loosely call “song.”

Guitar Boy then invites them upstairs to the most awkward and uncomfortable-looking breakfast gathering I’ve ever seen.

As a socially-awkward introvert, this is my worst nightmare. And I’m willing to bet a few of these trainees still have no idea who Guitar Boy is. I hope no one tells them. I hope that years from now, when they reminisce about being on this survival show, at least one of them says, “By the way, who even was that guy?"

"Pssst ... Hui ... who is that guy?"

Our trainees get ginseng chicken soup for breakfast, and Guitar Boy tells them to prepare their thank-you speeches ahead of time in case they win, and they can trust him on that because he’s talking from experience. As the camera pans around the room, I can tell that some trainees STILL don’t know who he is. I can’t believe he never introduced himself.

Wait – Hui is sitting right there. Check with him. He’s been in the industry for a while. He must know who this guy is. Hui needs to help out his fellow trainees by saying in a loud voice, “Why yes, Kim Jae Hwan from Wanna One and (checking cell phone under the table) many solo projects! That is an excellent idea! And you would know, seeing as you (checking phone) finished fourth in another survival reality show called Produce 101! RIGHT, GUYS?”

Guitar Boy says he’s here to deliver their final mission and leads them out into the big room where they learned about their previous missions. They are standing on a much smaller platform now. They’re told that their final mission will take place at an amazing location. A screen lights up to show them Jamsil Indoor Stadium.

Oh my God … I just Googled it. Jamsil Indoor Stadium is a 11,000-seat arena that has hosted concerts, Olympic games, and awards shows. This place is insane. I think it’s the biggest venue we’ve seen on any of these survival shows, if you don’t count the great outdoors on Wild Idol.

We see blueprints on the screen showing that the winner’s circle has been set up in the stadium, and it’s where the final debuting group will be announced. I’m getting goosebumps. This is going to be amazing. We learn that 7,000 Star Creators will be in the audience. Let’s hope their voting devices are working properly.

The mission is called the “Final Top 9 Battle,” which is disappointingly unimaginative. How about “Jam Battle in Jamsil”? That’s what I’m calling it instead.

The trainees will be split into two teams of nine. They will perform newly-written songs, just like in the 3rd Mission. The first song is “Jelly Pop,” a bubbly teenybop dance pop song with really fast choreography. The second one, “Hot Summer,” is more my speed. It’s a beast idol pop song with suggestive moves in the choreo. (In a confessional, Ricky says, “That song is mine.”) We’re told that they person doing the Killing Part of “Hot Summer” will be performing on the arena’s stage lift. This is the chance of a lifetime. These guys will fight hard for that part.

Now for the trainees to choose their songs. On the floor in front of them is a large Boys Planet banner. It gets pulled away to show the position charts for both songs. They’re going to play the same mean game they played when they chose songs for the 2nd Mission. The lowest-ranking trainee chooses first, and then one by one, the next trainee can take an unoccupied spot or push someone out of a spot they want. Sung Han Bin, still the top-ranked trainee, will get whatever spot he wants in the end.

Did this show not learn anything from the last time they did this? What if a strong vocalist gets pushed into a rapper position? What if all the rappers wind up on one team, with no vocalist? The producers of Boys Planet should have gone back and watched No Mercy. Those judges organized the teams specifically to see how the different performing styles worked together. Each team had the right balance. This is just random.

It gets worse. When a higher-ranking trainee pushes someone out, they can decide the song and part they want the displaced trainee to move to. I’m guessing the person who came up with this idea is the same one who came up with the points-stealing strategy on Wild Idol.

The Killing Part is missing from both position charts. The trainees will all need to audition for this part, and the Star Creators will vote for the winners. Well, at least that’s fair. Unless the show decides to shuffle the teams again.

The trainees start making their choices. Poor Yoo Seung Eon, who wanted “Hot Summer” the minute he heard it, gets pushed over to “Jelly Pop.” He’s quite upset about this. But the worst insult is when Sung Han Bin chooses last. He pushes Jay all the way to SubVocal 6 on “Jelly Pop.” Jay is not happy. I don’t blame him. This is a stupid way to choose teams.

Speaking of which, here are the teams:

Team Jelly Pop, from top, left to right: Hui, Yoo Seung Eon, Zhang Hao, Park Gun Wook, Kum Jun Hyeon, Park Han Bin, Jay Chang, Na Kamden, and Seok Matthew

Team Hot Summer, from top, left to right: Sung Han Bin, Kim Tae Rae, Kim Ji Woong, Han Yu Jin, Ricky, Lee Jeong, Hyeon, Kim Gyu Vin, Keita, Yoon Jong Woo

Jay and Kamden are on the same team. Everyone does wind up looking evenly distributed in terms of talent, though not everyone is happy. Team Hot Summer has most of the Top 9.

On to rehearsals. Team Hot Summer chooses Yoon Jong Woo as their Leader because he’s the only one who wants the job. I’m surprised, since he got burned out after the Great Reshuffling Debacle and left his own team. I guess he’s willing to risk it now that they’re in the home stretch. Of course, they all want the Killing Part. They need to choose a temporary Killing Part trainee for now, so it goes to Sung Han Bin. But the others are determined to win the hearts of the Star Creators and take that position away from him.

Over to Team Jelly Pop. Kum Jun Hyeon wants to be the Leader, but then, so does half the team. Out of desperation, Kum Jun Hyeon says if he’s chosen as Leader, he’ll wake up an hour earlier than the others. The others point out that they gain nothing from that. Dude, you need to offer to get up earlier so you can make them breakfast or do their laundry. Don’t you know how negotiating works?

Seok Matthew knows better. He bribes everyone with snacks. Gun Wook offers to bring food AND do their laundry. Somehow, in the end, Hui is voted the leader, even though he doesn’t offer anything. I don’t think ANYONE on this team knows how negotiating works.

Hui’s first job is to choose the temporary Killing Part. The sub-vocalists are gunning for that part because their vocal parts are very small. They decide to learn the choreography first, and it hits them right away how hard it will be to learn. Lots of twisting and turning. Gun Wook is worried he’ll dislocate a hip.

Seok Matthew winds up getting the Killing Part for now.

I’m surprised this is how the episode ends. Choosing song parts is important but kind of dull to watch. I guess we’re gearing up for the Jam Battle in Jamsil. So much to look forward to. Will the trainees ever figure out who Guitar Boy is? Did they get to keep their animal onesies? Exactly how many pins have I put into these recaps that I’m going to have to follow up on? Stay tuned!

'The Escape of the Seven': A Revenge Story That Keeps You on Edge

The show is created by the same team behind the hit series The Penthouse: War in Life, and it features a similar blend of suspense, violence, and melodrama.

(Photo : SBS ) The show has been topping the most buzzworthy drama list for two consecutive weeks, according to Good Data Corporation. The company collects data from blog posts, online news articles, videos, and social media posts in various online communities to rank the current and upcoming K-dramas that viewers are talking about. Check out the top 10 series that made it to the Most Buzzworthy Drama list. - "The Escape of the Seven" - "Behind Your Touch" - "Arthdal Chronicles 2: The Sword of Aramun" - "Destined with You" - "My Lovely Liar" - "The Kidnapping Day" - "Live Your Own Life" - "Twinkling Watermelon" - "The Killing Vote" - "Unpredictable Family" Some of the factors that contribute to the popularity of The Escape of the Seven are: - The intense and unpredictable plot that keeps the viewers guessing who are the seven villains and what are their motives. - The stellar performance of the cast, especially Uhm Ki Joon, who plays the dual role of a charismatic teacher and a ruthless psychopath. - The controversial and provocative scenes that depict violence, abuse, and torture in a realistic and graphic manner. - The social commentary on the issues of bullying, corruption, and injustice in the Korean society. The show has also received some criticism and complaints for its excessive depiction of violence and sexual content. Some viewers have expressed their discomfort and dissatisfaction with the show’s direction and tone. “I can’t watch this drama anymore. It’s too disturbing and disgusting. How can they show such things on TV?” - A netizen on Naver TV “This drama is not for everyone. It’s a dark and twisted revenge story that exposes the ugly side of human nature. I think it’s well-made and well-acted, but it’s definitely not easy to watch.” - Another netizen on Naver TV

'Moving': A Webtoon Adaptation That Delivers Action and Emotion

Moving is a webtoon-based series that tells the story of a top-tier agent who infiltrates a high school to protect a student who holds a secret that could change the world.

Come on, Sung Joon. Find a babysitter. You never go out with us, and corporate events are just as important as meetings.

He had been hearing lines like that on repeat, and he liked to believe that his subordinates wanted him to do anything else than lock himself in his office. That they cared for his well being, but that was wishful thinking. He knew that going out with his investors and his staff meant two things: funded drinks and ass kissing, which he both despised but tolerated.

So, he opened a tab for anyone who showed the bartender a P.S. Tech badge and joined them at the dance bar. The music was loud, but it was drowning out the loneliness that loved to rake its claws on his back when he was in places like this. His staff greeted him, made pleasantries, but once their drinks were ordered, they cliqued in their bubbles. He...well, he was alone at the bar.

He wanted another drink, knowing that he was on a fast train to hell and dependence if he kept the bottle close. But, it eased his nerves and made him a happier father sometimes, and when the bartender came over, he smiled wryly. Being called gorgeous at a time like this felt off, but then again, she was working and bartenders loved to gas up their patrons. "What's the policy to just place a bottle vodka near me and letting me pour my own drinks so I don't run you ragged?"

with: open to all @vievecorcitystarters location: The Rubicund

It was a busy night at the club, Katya couldn't remember the last time she had had a chance to even check the time - not that she minded. Busy nights were the ones she thrived on, the energy and bass of the music running through her like a heartbeat putting a little more bounce in her step as she moved around the bar. Her resting bitch face perked up as she caught someone with their hand slightly raised over an empty glass, a small smile starting to turn up the corners of her lips, "What can I getcha gorgeous?"

My Issues With Blind (In No Particular Order)

Now I am not above admitting I was wrong so if these questions are answered in the drama and I just missed it then please do tell but so far here are all my qualms:

1. How did Yoon-Jae and Sung-Hoon actually get Sung-Joon to believe he was Yoon-Jae?

I understand the whole story about Yoon-Jae pushing Sung-Joon off of the playground set and everything, but `1) amnesia would definitely not happen from such a minor fall like that, especially when he did not fall headfirst and 2) How did they get Sung-Joon to remember the fact that he is Yoon-Jae from the Hope Center but not the fact that the information is coming from Sung-Joon? It just seemed like tacky plot armor. I literally rolled my eyes when Sung-Joon conveniently remembered that after Yoon-Jae pushed him down a flight of stairs (another thing that would not cause someone to regain memory). I know Yoon-Jae made some off-hand comment about “the shock therapy working” but there is no way in hell that LITTLE BOY got his hands on a torture device.

2. Why did the parents adopt Sung-Hoon?

I don’t understand what part of the story explained the reasoning for this. Sung-Hoon delivers the personal account of the atrocities of the Hope Center, Judge Ryu ignores them, and then somehow time skips to the judge adopting him? Like it would be one thing if they adopted him out of shame for what happened at the center but it seemed like he didn't care when he dismissed Sung-Hoon’s petition so what really changed?

3. Why did Sung-Hoon admit he was an accomplice -- better yet, how did he even get sentenced?

This one irks me the most because, unlike Yoon-Jae, all of the evidence against Sung-Hoon was circumstantial. Yes, Sung-Hoon saw him leave the wedding banquet but the cameras did not--even if Yoon-Jae testified against him there was not a single time in which it was implied that there was anything that connected him so why the hell did he confess? It makes me feel like there must have been some scenes that I was missing because one second he is fighting with Sung-Joon out in the rain and the other he is in jail; I don’t think we even saw anyone read him his rights.

4. How were the police so inefficient?

Now I understand that they were working under a corrupt chief but it is not like anyone listened to that dude--they were essentially working on their own. How does the police not have software that can show them what Yoon-Jae would realistically look like 20 years later--I know it’s a thing that exists also faces do not really change *that* much so upon seeing Yoon-Jae and Sung-Hoon the police chief and Crazy Dog should have realized it was them way sooner.

5. What is the point of making Yoon-Jae and Crazy Dog fight to the death?

I guess there's no technical issue with this It just seemed like such a big fuck you to victims of abuse that might have resonated with the character kind of. Like did he really have to lose his life just to avenge the other children? I am in no way saying Yoon-Jae is a saint (though I firmly believe he is also not a psychopath) but c'mon why couldn’t he get this one win against someone who was a lot worse than him

6. What is the random switch-up between Sung-Hoon, Sung-Joon, and Yoon-Jae?

I saved my biggest issue for last but I feel like these characters all acted in such a contradictory way to how they have been written since the beginning of the drama. To start with Sung-Hoon; I think his switching up on Sung-Joon out of nowhere in the last few episodes and completely dropping the facade is so tacky. It’s not like Sung-Hoon was ever an emotional character, to begin with so I feel like they didn’t have to try and make him comically evil with the whole “Ooo guess what I'm going to do next Sung-Joon ooo I never liked you I just wanted to use you Sung-Joon oooo I don’t care about you at all Yoon-Jae” bullshit. I find it hard to believe he didn’t care about Yoon-Jae at all, and while I think it’s fair for him to say that maybe he never thought of Sung-Joon as a brother (since it’s probably hard to think of the man who raped your sister and his wife as parents) I don’t think it’s fair to say that he never cared about Sung-Joon. I wish they dug into that concept of Sung-Hoon maybe not feeling any brotherly connection to Sung-Joon but still looking out for him because he feels bad for him. We know Sung-Hoon can feel emotions towards people: he felt genuine hurt and rage when Yu-Na was killed so I find it hard to believe that he didn’t have any sort of connection to Sung-Joon (especially when he also told Yoon-Jae to spare Eun-Ki and made sure her only punishment would be finding out about who her father really was) since he is essentially the same as Eun-Ki in the sense of being born to people who did bad things.

On the topic of brotherly connection, I also find it unrealistic that Sung-Joon can switch to hating his brother so quickly. I don’t expect him to condone Sung-Hoon’s action’s in any way, but the scene where Sung-Hoon tried to take his life and then Sung-Joon came and called him a coward and said that he hoped he would live in pain for the rest of his life or whatever was so random? I was expecting an emotional outburst, yes, but I feel like something that would be more in character for him would be the continuation of the whole “How could you do this to me when I did all this for you” thing they have going on (which is how the interaction did start but alas). I just thought it was weird.

Finally, for Yoon-Jae, why did they make him so comically evil after the reveal? Every interrogation scene made me roll my eyes because they just made him act like the Joker in all of them and it was just so overdone. Sung-Joon calling him a “psycho who is obsessed with murder” was annoying too because it’s like--you’re missing the whole point he’s not doing this cause he enjoys killing people he’s doing this cause he was backed into a corner by his abusers. It’s one thing to not condone his actions but to completely ignore what got him to that point just seemed foolish (which is also what I have to say about Eun-Ki).

I personally think that the show should have gone more into the brotherly relationship between Yoon-Jae and Sung-Hoon because it’s like yeah we see that Yoon-Jae feels betrayed by Sung-Hoon but why should he be? They did no development on that and honestly hindsight 20/20 the whole “Sung-Joon on the run” arc should have been a lot shorter to allow more time to develop this relationship.

7. Why is everyone except Sung-Hoon allowed to be corrupt?

The whole basis of this show is how corrupt bad people can be (the police chief, the guy trying to bribe Sung-Hoon in episode 1, the producer, the taxi driver, Crazy Dog) so I don’t see why Sung-Hoon, Yoon-Jae, and Charles couldn’t have gotten off under the same basis of corruption. Like you cannot tell me this man is gonna work his ass off and become a judge, orchestrate a whole string of murders with literally nothing technically connecting him to them, and then go to jail because of his OWN CONFESSION when he could have just used his status as a well-known judge (and one that refuses to do anything that isn't by the books) to just deny (hell, he wouldn't even look guilty so he doesn't even need to do that) and then stack the jury so Yoon-Jae could get a not guilty charge. Call it tacky, but them doing that would make so much more sense than them just putting their hands in the air and going to jail/committing suicide.

That’s all I got for now but if I think of anything I guess I’ll add it. The ending of this show just seems so drab and dull; I don’t really understand what the theme or point is supposed to be. Sung-Joon’s monologue about “oh if they had someone like Eun-Ki things would have probably been different...what a shame :/” like no shit sherlock if Eun-Ki was there they probably also wouldn’t be used for slave labor like...it was just so random. The acting was great, but the writing and plotting just took a nosedive I am afraid.

Also. the bury your gays (or idk homosexual leaning) thing that happened with Charles and Yoon-Jae was so tacky I’m sorry.

#blind kdrama #tvN blind #kdrama blind #blind 2022 #blind tvn #Ryu Sung Joon #Ryu Sung Hoon #jung yoon jae #ehhh it was a 5/10 i guess #it had some interesting concepts but i dont like how they built upon it #murder is bad yeah we know its kinda more than that though isnt it

but that said, i don’t ghost, it would be preferable if the writing partner didn’t as well. communication is key !

when the camellia blooms | pjm

park jimin x kim! reader | 1 | 2

sypnosis: diagnosed with the hanahaki disease, you had only two options - accept a deathly fate, or never love again.

genre: au, angst, fluff, humor, friends to lovers? maybe.

warnings: many talks of death and dying, minor character death, pain, unrequited love, swearing, talks of past sexual experience while intoxicated, pining, longing, really sad reader, and lots of angst.

word count: 7.2 k

"you would die for her, for him."

"You're dying."

The two words escape past his lips steadily and breathily as your widening eyes linger on the way his hands fiddle with one another out of habit. He sighs deeply and resists the urge to avoid screaming at you and maintain eye contact out of professionalism, pushing back his slipping glasses.

"At this rate, you won't have any more than a month. Had you told me this sooner, y/n, the results wouldn't have been as scarce. But because you waited after almost a year of this, I'm afraid there's not much to do." He pushes his desk lightly to pull away from it, creating a mere distance between himself and the papers which finalized your future's passing. Reaching his collar, he tugs on his tie to loosen it before unbuttoning the first stitch as he looks at you with seemingly stray and angered eyes mixed with sympathy.

Suddenly, his sight wanders the room as he shakes his head repeatedly, scoffing in disbelief. He then smiles, dimples prominent, lip tightened, eyebrows furrowed, and eyes broken, piercing straight at its target - that being you.

Standing up, he takes off his glasses and slams his fist onto the chair's arm rest before running a hand across his hair, softly hissing.

The professionalism is now out of the drain, "You're an idiot, y/n."

"Fucking stupid. How could you not- I mean- how could you not tell me? I'm your brother! We're family. Blood. We're supposed to- we're supposed to tell each other these things and you just fucking- you kept it to yourself all these months! Ten months! And now I'm sitting here being the one to tell you that you're dying? That you're leaving me? I would've done something. I would've helped you, I- I would've killed whoever this person you're in love with is. y/n, please- I just-"

You don't know why, but you felt exhausted.

The ringing in your ears is deafening. Truthfully, you hadn't heard a single thing the minute you received news that you'll be, well, passing away. Not to mention, within 30 days time.

It's not as if you didn't already know about your condition, of course you did. Coughing soft pink camellia flowers every time you see the man that's brought you here is not exactly something that just simply passes a blind eye. You sense it, you feel it, and it hurts.

It really, really hurts.

You also felt awful for your brother. You hadn't meant for it to go this far. You didn't mean to not tell him. You didn't want your assigned doctor to suddenly call in sick and have your brother temporarily take his place. You didn't mean for him to find out this way - such a twisted, horrible fucking way, but here you are.

"I'm sorry, Joon. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean for this to go this far. I just-"

"Were you ever even going to tell me?" He cuts you off, voice low and steady, almost afraid of your coming response.

Your eyes locate his across the cramped room, and one could clearly tell that it's striving its hardest to fight against desperate tears.

"I- yes, Joon. I was. Of course I was. I was gonna do it after this check in actually, but I guess God wanted you to find out sooner than I intended, though He could've just waited a little while longer and it would've been fine." You joke whisperingly, the heavy weight of your heart lightening just a small bit when you notice the corners of his lips twitch and his eyes faintly soften.

Regrettably, that was a lie. You didn’t plan on telling him, not today at least. Maybe not even ever.

The softening air lasts for only a second as his following question makes you hold back the urge to cough up another camellia flower slowly blooming its way to your throat.

"Who is it?"

Genuine, concerned, curious. These were all that he was.

But noticing the way your body went entirely rigid at his words and the way your hand clutched your clothed chest in attempt to shut down what you know will happen next, Namjoon's brotherly instincts causes him to naturally make his way towards you softly, taking small and careful strides towards your fragile state.

And once he's finally reached you, he gets on his knees gently in order for him to be of nearing same height level as you're sitting down, his hands rubbing the back of your hand in a comforting manner.

He does this all before pulling the trigger.

"Who are you in love with, y/n?"

two years back

"Jimin!"

You call out your brother's best friend loudly, who is currently in the midst of doing a one-man stage play in front of the mirror, "Joon's saying you guys need to get going now. Says he has a patient in two hours and wants to go over all sorts of documents before treating her."

Turning around, you scan the living room and dining room for the keys of your friend's car as your brother also asked you to hand them to him since the two always end up on forgetting it until they've already reached the car parked across your apartment's block.

You hear Jimin shuffle behind you, "Really? He wants to go over documents at- 9 AM in the morning?"

Smiling at his attempts of complaint, you nod your head softly in order to play along and answer his rhetorical question, "He really needs to learn how to drive doesn't he? Since he's dragging you along everywhere he goes."

Jimin laughs at your statement, which being an opinion, your brother would argue, 'driving isn't a necessary aspect of life.' But who really thinks like that? Oh right, non-drivers.

“I guess he’s getting too caught up in learning medicine that he forgot to learn how to officially become an adult.” Reaching above the kitchen top, you finally found sight of Jimin's car keys.

How did it even get up there? You think to yourself. It's really high up, so Namjoon must've been the one to leave it as to where it is.

You groan slightly, "Joon, can you get over here! I found Chim's keys but it's too far up high so I can't reach it. Hell I don't even think he can reach this-"

You are cut off when you feel a hand sneak around your waist, making you flinch and suddenly spin cautiously.

Eyes widened. Lips parted. Breath hitched. You let out an inaudible gasp as you come to the realization that Jimin is now in front of you, head tilted with an amused smile on his face, "Excuse you? I can very much reach this." He says, all the while reaching up behind you, inchly leaning forward. At this point, your body is being pressed up against the kitchen counter and his oh-so-very toned front.

This small action is enough to instigate a flaming abyss inside of you as you very much attempt to calm your alarmed heart.

You can feel the cuts and lines of his abs against your chest as he is now standing on his tippy toes, desperately trying to reach the keys on the kitchen top. Anyone that could see his posture would call him adorable, but your body is currently being sandwiched and by all that is high and mighty your mind can't even really process a single thing. Wait, what were you thinking just now?

"See? Got it." Jimin falls back in place as he jiggles his car keys in front of your stone-cold face, smile wide as he giggles softly, "Piece of cake, y/n."

He then proceeds to move on with his life like he didn't just do what the fuck he just did.

Clearing your throat, you blink about a million times in order to gather your thoughts. Your heartbeat is racing faster than the speed of light and your lips have become as dry as a desert. If you had gone standing on your tippy toes just as he did, you would've been a baby hair away from lips touching. The thought is enough to make you grow weak.

Yet as if something inside of you is suddenly turned on, no pun intended, you remind yourself that these thoughts are wrong. You can't be having these apprehensions, they aren't right. Because not only is he your brother's best friend, he also has a-

"y/n?" Jimin's soft voice calls out your name.

Breaking out of your trance, you turn to see him sitting down on the dining table, head tilted downwards with a small smile on his face. The sun escapes your pastel curtains as it slips past the window sill, reasoning with the current ray of golden yellow that has found its home on Jimin’s plump cheek, shining on the left side of his luminous face.

It's absolutely senseless how he can look as beautiful as he does simply by existing, and it makes perfect sense that your finding yourself to liking him more and more.

Just look at him.

You are broken out of your enchanted daze once more as dreaded words leave his smiling lips, "I'm gonna ask her to marry me."

Only then were you brought back to your inadequate reality.

“W- what?” You attempt to speak, but you notice the way your voice has suddenly become noticeably hoarse.

Jimin looks up at you with a smile, the kind that has his eyes almost disappearing.

“Sung. I’m gonna ask her to marry me tonight.”

silence.

and more silence.

Like a coward, that was all what you could muster to respond with.

And only then did you notice the velvet box on his hands, upon which he is tenderly caressing. Only then did you recognize the questionable romantic script of his one-man stage just moments earlier. Only then did you realize that the reason behind his growing smile are because of her, not you. Not because of what had just taken place.

Only then did you remember that no, you can't be having these apprehensions - they aren't right.

Because not only is he your brother's best friend,

he also has a, now upcoming, fiancé.

present time

"I already loved him then, Joon."

By this time, your brother has stood up and begun pacing back and forth the modest office, murmurs of curses towards his friend escaping past his lips, "-that small son of a bitch."

Smiling softly, you look down in reminiscence of the moments you have spent falling for Jimin. "I guess I've always been infatuated with him ever since our first meeting, but my God Joonie," you pause, inhaling a short breath in attempt to stop tears threatening to spill. "-ever since that day, when he told me that he was going to propose to her, I finally realized that like was the wrong term to use. I realized that I loved him and I just- I lost sight of everything." You cry, small sobs coming from you as you blinkingly look up to try to contain the waters forming in your eyes.

It was true. That day, when he told you about his plans to ask her to marry him, you've never felt more indignant.

Of course you faked it at first, congratulated him and consoled him into truthfully believing that she will undoubtedly say yes. But the minute he and Namjoon left your apartment, you collapsed on your carpeted floors, sobbing loudly and hitting your chest repetitively all the while cursing yourself in your head for ever even considering the tiniest of possibilities that you and Jimin could ever happen.

You also went out that night, got drunk, found a guy, slept with him, and never looked back.

Sure, this may seem like a regular night out for many, but not being the type to kiss and sleep, sex meant a lot to you.

Nothing wrong with one night stands, that just wasn't your particular chosen lifestyle. But you were wasted. You were intoxicated. You didn't know what you were doing. Had you been sober, you wouldn't have done what you did, especially with the person you did it with. So when you woke up in the middle of the night naked in bed next to a familiar face and realized what you've done, you rushingly stood up, got dressed, and left, ignoring the calls of the man you had just been with.

You went straight home and washed yourself for hours, feeling dirty and sloppy and disgusting. You can easily recollect sitting down in the showers, head tucked underneath and in between your legs, sobbing and crying loudly as the steam surrounding you from the warm water kept on worsening.

You hated what you did, and you most definitely despised the reason for what you did, - to simply get over someone else. You felt guilty. You felt ashamed. What would Jimin think? You thought to yourself. And though that truly didn't really matter, the ache in your heart kept on making you believe otherwise.

You didn't notice how your tears have fallen and stained your newly-bought jeans until Namjoon's hands holding a napkin comes within your perception.

Mumbling a small 'sorry Joonie,' you accept his offer and wipe the tears still continuously streaming down your now reddened, warm, and puffy face. As you do this, you furthermore catch sight of your brother's shadow rubbing his face in frustration, matching the groans that you also hear release from him in the background. And without meaning so, you deflate in insecurity.

Hearing the sound of air being released from a pulling force, you look up to see that Namjoon has sat back down, his elbows resting on the desk while his chin rest on his hands. "Does he know about this, y/n?"

You sigh, "No."

"Are you going to tell him?" You hear him ask once more.

Closing your eyes and sniffing lightly, you inhale a steady breath as you answer him for the second time, "I don't know, Joon."

Namjoon looks at you, eyes full of worry and concern. You don't know?

You're his sister, and he loves you. He would do anything for you. If he could shower you with all the love that you lack from Jimin, he would. And he would do it in a heartbeat. But you're dying. You're leaving him. And he doesn't know what to think. He doesn't know what to do. So how could you not know? How could you sit here, in front of him, after keeping this shit for ten months to yourself, tell him that you just don't know?

He feels frustrated. Frustrated over the clearing fact that if you don't know the answer to that simple yes or no question, then how more could you know the answer to when he asks you to make the choice?

The choice - to love or to die.

A very careful, unprecedented surgery that has been performed by professionals only a few times, yet each one has been successful. This seems easy, yeah. A surgery to save your life? Of course you'll do it! But there's a reason as to why this has been done only by a certain small count.

To perform the surgery and live, the price is not the expense, but rather the loneliness that shall come as you spend the rest of your life void of emotions. The surgery doesn't get rid of love on its own, it gets rid of everything that comes with it - happiness, sadness, trust, pain, pretty much everything that one can possibly feel. The only emotion left is indifference, yet even indifference lacks its self-sustainability.

Who would want to live like that?

Who would want to live a life where you just simply exist and nothing more?

He knows that the day will come eventually - when he offers you the choice, the chance to save your life, and he knows it will come soon. But right now, he has chosen to prioritize being a brother over a doctor. Right now, the only thing in his mind is comforting you.

"Okay." Your brother nods, making your eyes widen slightly in shock.

Okay? No scolding? No 'how could you not know?!' older brother reprimands? But then you remember, oh yeah. You're dying. And who could possibly scold their dying little sister?

"I'm sorry Joonie-" You try to apologize once more before he cuts you off again.

"No, don't apologize, y/n. It's not like you could've possibly wanted for any of this to happen, yeah?" He offers you a smile, but you could easily see past its fabricated purpose, "But instead let me ask you this. And I need you, in our deceased parent's name, to be completely honest with me."

You only nod, completely submissive and understanding of his seriousness the moment that he mentioned your passed parents.

"What you just told me, when you first fell in love with him, that was two years ago." He starts, making you nod again in agreement.

"But you were diagnosed only ten months ago."

Your heart drops, and you don't nod again.

"The Hanahaki Disease is not something that gradually begins and comes to existence over the course of time. It is an illness that is triggered. It could be by a sudden forthcoming realization or proclamation of love, or by an event that triggers the heart to completely shut down in overwhelmth. Either way, basing on the timing of what you've said, you should've been diagnosed with the Hanahaki two years ago. But you weren't."

Namjoon eyes you questioningly, but not too much to the extent that you feel uncomfortable, only just enough to remind you of the importance of this conversation, "You were only diagnosed ten months ago, y/n. Why?"

You sit still, not wanting to move, as if your stone figure would somehow make him think that you're not real or that you're a simple figment of his messed up imagination.

"y/n, what happened ten months ago?"

He finishes his question and you swallow harshly only to realize that you're parched, your throat completely dry. You then tilt your head to steal a gaze at your brother, making you catch the way his eyes suddenly widened as if he just realized something of high importance. As if he had just realized the answer to his own question. And that didn't work with you.

Clearing your throat, you are about to answer him in order to cut off his thoughts until the door swings open and you feel your throat compact, - the coughs of a camellia flower slipping its way to visibility -because there he is,

the man of the hour.

"y/n." He noticeably breathes a sigh of relief before making his way to you, engulfing you in a giant embrace. "I was so worried about you. Why didn't you tell me you had the Hanahaki? How could you not let me know? How long have you had it? Who is it? I swear I'm going to murder whoever this piece of shit is that he dared ever making yo-"

"Jimin this is a professional space between a doctor and his patient." The two of you pull away almost exactly the same time as soon as Namjoon speaks up, Jimin's eyebrows furrowing, "Get out."

"What?" Jimin barely gather the voice to ask him as he is completely caught off guard of his friend's erupting vulgar attitude.

"I said-" Namjoon speaks before getting caught off again.

"No trust me, I heard what you said. But what?" Jimin repeats himself, "So you're telling me you're not prioritizing being y/n's brother right now? You're still caught up in this Doctor Kim bullshit? Like you're a real one?"

"Jimin-" You attempt to budge in, sensing that a certain trouble may suddenly come knocking.

"No, y/n. Listen hyung-"

"No, YOU listen. You small piece of shit." Your brother raises his voice, "-don't come barging in here like you own the place or like you have any authority over her. She is MY sister and this is a family matter. So it's best you stay out of it and keep in your lane."

At this point, Namjoon is in front of Jimin, a short distance separating the two of them, "And don't you ever dare speak to me in that tone again. I know you're my friend, but remember to treat me with respect. Not only am I your superior, but I'm also your hyung." He finishes with a serious voice, tone low, and message deep. His earnest eyes piercing through his friend's pained ones.

Jimin, mouth slightly agape being at loss for words and clearly confused at his close friend's unreasonable anger, storms out of the room.

But not before he drags you along with him.

Namjoon is quick to act as he tries to reach for you, but you turn back and look at him pleadingly, signaling him that it's okay and to not worry. And him being the understanding brother that he is, pulls back and holds himself steady.

You can handle him. You’re a Kim. You’re strong.

Strong enough to survive through this.

You’ll be okay.

And as he watches the two of you leave, the door closing shut right in front of him, only then does reality hit Namjoon as his legs tremble abruptly, feeling lightheaded all of a sudden.

Falling down the floor, he reaches onto the desk for assistance as he slides his back down the wooden wall, hands painfully fisted and finding its way to cover his mouth in order to muffle the choked-in sobs perilously escaping him. He proceeds to blink away the tears and bite harshly on his lips, trying to diminish the flourishing grievance in his heart.

His sister is dying, and he doesn't know what to do.

“Doctor Kim? The next patient is ready to see you.” A knocking nurse distracts him and calls out from behind the door, “-shall I send them in?”

Namjoon sniffs heavily and sighs deeply, rushingly grabbing his glasses and adjusting his emotionally wrecked state, “One moment!”

He lets out a soft, shaky breath and reminds himself once more that you’re a Kim.

You’re strong.

You can beat this.

It'll be alright.

You'll be okay.

"IM NOT OKAY JIMIN-SHI!" You voicely whine out to your friend who is currently dragging you along the halls of the hospital and out the technologically advanced glass doors, "What is wrong with you?!" You pull your arm aggressively from his grasp as you bend down, hands resting on your knees while you hastily try to catch your breath. The camellia flower stuck just along the chords of your throat making it very difficult.

Jimin stares at you worryingly, having forgotten of your illness, "O- oh no. y/n, I'm sorry I forgot I- are you okay? Should we go back?" He stutters in concern before you hold up one finger, signaling him to shut the hell up. "-sorry."

Looking at you like this, tired and exhausted from having to put up with all his bullshit, Jimin feels a sudden urge to reach out and embrace you tightly, almost forgetting of his previous encounter with your brother.

And so that's exactly what he does.

You are caught off guard the moment you feel a hand grab your shoulder by means of pulling you closer all the while another rests just at your crook of spine, and although this first makes you stumble in a not-so-very prettily way, your destination is found to be in your friend's embrace, his fragile yet protective arms wrapped around you securely.

Not letting this moment simply pass by, you let yourself melt in his arms as you find the comfort meant to be found in his comforting hug, wrapping your arms around his neck as you slightly stand on your tippy toes. Somehow, your simple action makes him pull you even closer, one hand creeping behind your neck all the while his other is completely wrapped around your waist although this time is tighter than before.

As the two of you stay like this in the middle of the sliding glass doors of the hospital, crowds of unfamiliar voices passing by you and ambulances ringing endlessly against your ear, you let yourself submerge within the passion of your heart.

Amidst the chaos and cries of your nearingly counted days, you find consolation in the arms of the same man that has put you in front of death's door, and quite frankly, you wouldn't really want it any other way. You'll take what is given by the heavens above when it comes to Jimin, because well- you love him.

Unfortunately, that quick and simple thought is enough to make you lose control of your reminded disease.

"y-y/n what's- are you okay?" Jimin pulls away from you abruptly as you break into coughing fits, pastel pink camellia blossoms escaping your trembling lips.

The sight has caught the attention of many civilians, but both you and Jimin remain to be indifferent about them as you or more or less are occupied with your illness all the while Jimin specifically aims his attention on you alone.

"Alright that's it, screw your brother alright?" Jimin exclaims a bit louder than what you're comfortable with as this obviously did not benefit with the proceedingly growing public focus on the two of you, "-we're going back, y/n, it's my fault for bringing you outside so suddenly-"

"No chim, please-" You roughly attempt to speak out, your throat painfully extracting the feeling of abrasiveness, "Please just- let's just go."

"y/n.."

“Please chim,” you cut him off for what seemed to be the fiftieth time, coughing, “-please. I don’t want to be here any longer.”

Hesistant yet concerned, Jimin nods slowly as he assists your side, his hands finding its home around your waist and lower back while you both take short and careful strides. You destination is still unknown, but you didn’t mind. A journey a day with someone you love has never turned out for the worse.

At least that's what you think.

"Really?" You roll your eyes as you notice the familiar lane that Jimin's car just entered, "I asked you to get me out of the hospital area, I didn't ask for a sleepover, Jimin." You jokingly accuse him, but you can't help the smile that makes its way on your puffed-up face as you notice him smoothly take a side-glance at you with a knowing smirk.

"Well I thought that with all that bad hospital air, you might've wanted to breathe in a familiar scent," Jimin responds as the car comes to a stop.

You turn slightly to open the door and step out before you here a meek, "Jankkanman!" and perceive a 5'9 in height blondie come running around the bonnet in order to open the car door for you as a gentleman would. It is such a sweet and casual pantomime, yet an ill-patient diagnosed with an illness of the heart can never bring you any wins. Consequently, his actions only causes your throat to feel strained and compacted for the endless time.

God, how much did you love this man that such a simple gesture makes you want to cough out countless of fully bloomed flowers?

You thank the heavens above for your past endless experiences that allowed you to now be better in terms of hiding your pain as you attempt to smile genuinely, mumbling a small "thank you" in the process before making your way inside his home.

"So," Jimin starts as the two of you plop down his couch, his eyes seeking for yours as he tilts his head ever so lightly, "what should we do today... now that you're out of that hell hole?"

"Chim!" You scold him lightly, "my brother and your best friend just happens to be working in that hell hole, just in case you forgot, and- hey! You work there too, you ass." You accusingly point at him all the while hitting his arm playfully.

Jimin is was a nurse in that hospital. Your brother is a doctor.

He laughs and smiles widely, "Nope. I don't work there anymore, remember? But I did for a while, which is why I can most definitely testify that that place is indeed, a hell hole. And by the way, I'm kind of offended that you pretty much forgot my lost profession just then, y/n, like what the fuck?" He jokes endingly.

Your eyes soften slightly as he mentions his lack of job, yet you still stubbornly choose to ignore his last remark. "Well I sure hope that's not the case since I'll be most likely spending my last days there."

Oops.

The silence that ensues goes inevitably noticed by the two of you the moment those words escaped past your lips, but you paid no mind. That was the reason that you asked him to take you away anyways. You weren't hoping for some cliche romantic bullshit where the two of you simply elope and forget your real worries in your life, no. Instead you were here with the main purpose of facing it.

Besides, even if you did want to leave with him, you couldn't. Remember?

Jimin is the first to break the excessive blockade, "Don't say that y/n."

You sigh, "But it's true, chim."

"I don't give a shit if it's true or not."

"Chim.." You are slightly startled with his sudden outburst, caught off guard in the way his voice slightly raised as his attention and body language are now completely directed at you, "Wha- why are you getting mad?"

Jimin scoffs, almost irritated at your oblivious question, "Why? Because you're talking of dying like it's not a big deal, y/n!" His voice getting louder and louder by every word he spits out, "God, you know you can be so fucking insensitive sometimes. What, did you already forget the shit I suffered when I lost someone? Did you already forget all the fucking shit I suffered when death took her from me?"

At the mention of her, you pause. Speechless. Guilty. Hurt.

Of course you remember. How could you not? You remember the darkest of days as like it was just yesterday.

You remember getting that call in the middle of the night from the contact name of your brother as you slightly answered it in an irritated voice, "Joon I swear to God if you're asking me to drive you to work in the middle of the fucking night I will personally drag your ass right now to get a driver's liscenc-"

"y/n?"

You remember immediately stopping as you recognize the voice that most certainly did not belong to your brother, "Chim?"

"y- y/n."

You remember the outbreak of his sobs as you call out to him, his sniffles and cries becoming more and more prominent as you stumble on your feet, struggling with keeping your phone against and in between your ear and your shoulder as you hurryingly take off to grab a jacket and your keys, "Chim what's wrong, where the hell are you? W- where's Joon?"

You remember the way your heart dropped as your worst fear came to mind, the thought of losing your brother itself being enough to make you wobble in your feet, your heart clenching. He had your brother's phone, and he was crying.

"N-no, he- he's fine, y/n. It's not him, hyung's... hyung's fine."

You remember the way he struggled to find the right words; the way he sniffled and stuttered through forming such a simple sentence all the while you on the other side of the line breathe out a sigh of relief at the information of your brother's wellness, yet feeling slightly guilty that your emotions are in contrast with your friend's.

"It's Sung."

You remember Jimin's worst.

"It's Sung, y/n. Sh- she got in an accident on the way here to visit me during my off hours and- fuck! Some fucking demon pulled a hit and run on her. She was walking, y/n. She walked an hour here and got ran over by someone and.. they're doing an operation on her- hyung's assisting and he just- it's bad. It was really bad and she was bleeding all fucking over and- hyung, he- he left his phone and I didn't know what to do so I just called you- I didn't, they pushed me out of the room, y/n. I need you here. Please, please. Please come here because I'm losing my fucking mind and I need you here."

You remember driving to the hospital as careful as you can with the fear of the possibility of an accident occurring still in the midst of the back of your mind.

You remember reaching the doors of the emergency room and being greeted with a pair of reddened and exhausted eyes that looked up the moment you walked in, "Jin."

He stands up to greet you politely but you stop him, obviously seeing that his reaction upon seeing you is no more than a forced delight, "Let's not do this under these circumstances, okay? You're allowed to feel unwelcoming. It's okay, Jin."

He does no more than mumble a small 'thank you' before going back to his previous spot with you trudging along beside him.

You remember feeling the sorrow of the man beside you as you watch him lean his head back against the wall, fragile streaks of tears rolling down his flushed cheeks. You couldn't imagine his pain, the pain of such a situation where your sister's life is at stake. You wanted to comfort him, to softly rub his back and whisper sweet encouragements against his ear, little white lies that his sister is guaranteed to make it without a doubt. But you couldn't. You weren't here for him, regardless of your history. Regardless of the way you left him the morning after your supposed mistake.

"Uhm, have you seen Jimin?"

You remember the way his void eyes find yours and the way his lips lightly upturn as he gives you a forced smirk, trying to keep up with his image of being Kim Seokjin, Kim Sungkyung's handsome and cocky older brother, "And here I was thinking fate brought you here to me, y/n." He trails off, "-considering how you fucked me then dipped."

You gasp slightly and playfully hit his arm at the blunt mention of your regretted one night stand as you give him a small yet genuine smile, partly glad yet at the same time worried that he can make such remarks during a situation like this.

It was strange really, how everything in your life seemed to be connected. How on the day you felt your heart tore apart the time Jimin first mentioned his planned proposal, you went out and accidentally slept with the soon-to-be-bride's older brother.

Letting out a small sigh, Jin nods his head in the direction of a different waiting room, "He left when I came. Guess he was embarrassed of how fucked up he was but hey- I'm not doing any fucking better am I?" He tells you, subtly pointing at the very visible streaks of tears still falling down his now puffy face.

You get on your feet and turn to leave but not before giving one last glance at the man next to you, a hand softly reaching to rub his shoulder, "I'm so sorry, Jin. I wish I could stay, but-"

"It's okay, y/n. Go." Jin encourages you with a small yet noticeably forced smile, "He needs you."

And so you do, bidding him a soft goodbye before taking off, your eyes beginning to water out of the guilt of leaving a friend in that state.

You then remember being suffocated. Suffocated from the embrace that greeted you the moment Jimin entered your peripheral vision. You remember landing on your behind with a harsh thud from the struggle of Jimin's weight as he continues to seek your embrace for means of comfort, the two of you falling down the floor. You remember getting drenched from Jimin's tears as you cradle him as would a wailing child, rocking him back and forth all the while softly rubbing his back, whispering every bit of amenity that could make him feel better.

You remember feeling your heart physically ache as you fail to notice the tears that have fallen down your own eyes, blurring your sight.

To see Jimin in this state, so broken and hurt and scared, it tore you apart. You wanted him happy. You wanted him smiling. You wanted him. You loved him. And God forbid that you're admitting this in your own mind while his fiance is battling for her own life, but fuck.

You wanted nothing more than to lay down your own life for Sung so that she could continue in existence for him.

If you could, you would take here place.

You would die for her, for him.

You remember pushing back your thoughts as you put focusing on Jimin your first priority. You remember keeping him in a neverending tight embrace as he neverendingly sobs against your chest, his lips leaving prayers you could barely yet still tried to understand;

please don't let her die

don't take her away from me

i love her too much

i still have to marry her.

You then remember hearing a wail of anguish, putting a pause to both Jimin's silent pleas and your eavesdropping as the both of your heads turn to pinpoint from whom the noise came from.

You remember the way Jimin stilled.

"No."

You remember his whisper of such a small, two-lettered word, yet somehow it caused your heart to crumble.

"No no no no-"

You remember having to tackle Jimin slightly as he causes a mess of himself, punching the seats and harshly tugging on his hair all the while screaming wails of pain and suffering, "Jimin please-"

"No- get the fuck off of me! Sung?!"

You remember how Jimin lost sight of reality as he pushes you off of him, your body making in contact with the cold tiled ground.

"SUNG? SUNG! LET ME INSIDE-"

You remember seeing nurses and other staff pull the man you love back as he causes a scene, starting to become physical and violent with the people surrounding him, "PLEASE! Please- I just- I NEED TO SEE HER! SHES MY FIANCE-"

You remember seeing a man dressed in blue make his way near Jimin, a needle in his hand.

"H-hey, no!" You remember trying to catch up to the nurse, attempting to prevent them from giving whatever the shot was to Jimin, "Stop! Please-"

"y/n. D-don't."

You remember feeling a hand on your shoulder which makes you turn around instantly, only to find the culprit behind the anguished scream just moments prior Jimin's outburst.

"Jin." You start, "-they're going to sedate him. That- that's not okay."

"They have to, y/n." Another voice calls out from behind Jin, "I know how it seems and I don't like it either, b-but he's becoming violent. They have to sedate him."

"Joon." You whisper softly.

What a sick and twisted game that life is playing on you, that your brother, Jimin's best friend, Jimin's best man at the wedding being planned, is the one to give news of the bride's passing.

"Sung, is she really.." You trail off, not having the heart to finish your sentence.

It seems neither does he, as he responds with nothing but a simple avoidance of eye contact.

"HYUNG!"

You remember Jimin's faint and tired yet still firm voice as he calls out your brother, "Hyung, you saved her didn't you? You- you were part of the surgery. You saved her didn't you? Didn't you!?" Jimin is weak as he trails off his words as the effect of the syringe takes its course, but that doesn't stop him from reaching out to the three of you, "H-hyung. Tell me you saved her. P-please tell me you saved h-her."

Namjoon doesn't stop the tear that rolls down his hardened face as he only shakes his head, "I'm sorry, Jimin. We did our best. We really, really did. I'm so sorry-"

You remember the way Namjoon's voice trails off your hearing as your throat suddenly feels contracted. You remember the itching pain just within your chest as you find the struggle to breath, your hand clutching it harshly. You remember stumbling back just a little bit as you feel lightheaded, thinking that these were only from the overwhelming happenings in that moment.

But then you cough.

And you cough

and you cough

and you cough.

But no one notices you.

Not even yourself.

Your attention remains still at Jimin, who has now dropped completely to the floor, tears still continuously spilling out of his drowsy eyes. Short breaths are released from his trembling lips as he mumbles words that none of you can understand. He then begins to seemingly reach out for something, someone.

"P-please," He whispers.

And as you bend down almost immediately to attend to his calls, you cough.

And you cough

and you cough.

And still no one notices.

No one except him.

You cough as your eyes find his, barely open yet staring right at you from the lows of the floor.

You remember having to excuse yourself and run to the nearest restroom you can find, legs trembling and stumbling on your way there as you push against the winds of the almost empty halls, still coughing with every step you take. And just as you reach the doors of the restroom, you turn back slightly, just enough to catch Jimin's last sight while his body is being carried away to where you guess is a vacant patient's room, all this before his eyes ultimately close.

Eyes you found lastly staring at you.

You remember finally shutting the door and locking it, thanking God silently that you're in a family restroom hence there is no one else inside. You cough desperately, your throat beginning to feel exclusively sore and your lungs beginning to tighten from all the air being released as you cough and cough and cough again.

You reach out to the sink, gripping tightly onto the white metals as you cough and cough and cough again.

You then brushingly turn to the toilet, your eyes watering and lips numbing as you cough and you cough and you cough once more.

You practically clean the whole restroom, as disgusting as that sounds, from all the moving you made as you coughed anywhere and everywhere. You felt awful for the next person to come inside, now that your bacterium were practically in its every corner, side, and space. You cough again, this time harder, the worst one out of the previous.

You remember sensing a certain feeling rise up, something soft yet itchy, something light yet heavy.

And so you cough, and you cough, and you cough, and you cough,

and you bleed.

And amongst the red is a pink.

A single, individual pink petal from what you would soon find out is a camellia flower - the flower that is soon to be the latter symbolization of death chasing you, growing closer, inching nearer, just about to knock on your door.

So of course you remember Jimin's distraught. Of course you remember Sung's - his fiance's death.

Because her death was too, the ultimate beginning of yours.
