- The main trunk of the arterial system, conveying blood from theleft ventricle of the heart to all of the body except the lungs.
Things were fast, too fast for her liking. As soon as they arrived at the hospital, the unconscious Jinki were taken to the ER, things were chaotic, too chaotic, and before their arrival, the hospital was sullen and quiet, at a flash the nurses and the doctors were shouting instructions to each other. Taeyeon stood watching Jinki pale face, she wanted to get near, but was forbidden, so there she stood observing the doctors trying their best to retrieve Jinki’s heartbeat .By sudden, her arms were grabbed ,she tried to release herself from that harsh grip, only to be tighten, she turned only to be staring at those cold brown orbs.”I’m sending you home.”He said.”No, I’m staying here. He’s my responsibility.”She sternly lashed while shaking her hands off from his grasp.”Fine, you’re staying in my office until further notice.” he negotiated. She knows this is by far the best offer she’s getting now. They walked through the corridor; somehow it felt colder than ever. Quieter than ever. They entered his lavish office; she sat on the velvet couch.”You should sleep.” he said. She nodded. She lay on the couch when he left the office. To tell the truth, in the midst of this disarray, her eyelids won’t close. The blinds next to the couch were withdrawn, letting small amount of moonlight in. She lay, staring at the moon, taking her mind off the current pandemonium. She flutters her eyelids close, hoping she’ll wake up with Jinki’s soft lips pressed on hers. Jinki, don’t leave me.

12.00 a.m. The clock hanging on his wall showed. He walked in finding Taeyeon’s sleeping, turning and tossing around, her mouths crept his name. Jinki. Bad dream .He walked nearer to her, grasping her fragile fingers with his bigger ones kissing each one of it tenderly, whispering assurance words. It did the trick, her breathing gets even. He undressed his trench coat, blanketing her from coldness. He walked to his comfy chair. I guess this going to be my bed tonight. As soon he adjusted himself on the chair, finding a comfortable position, almost closing his eyelids. Dr.Yong barged in at the front door.”Dr.Yong, what happened?”He asked nervously.”He’s stable for now, his systems are starting to shut down, and only thing that can save him now is heart transplant.”Dr.Yong answered calmly.”For how long?”He asked back.”He’s using breathing aid, I’m afraid few more hours are the max.”Heart transplant?

I stirred from my sleep as I heard someone enters the room, Minho is talking to someone, from the voice presumably it belongs to Dr.Yong. Only thing that can save him now is heart transplant .I have to do this, he deserve to live. Both of them resumed their conversation. Few more hours are the max .I clenched my fist, and continuously chanted in the back of my life.”He’s needs my heart.”I stood up slowly and murmured “I’ll do the heart transplant; I’ll give him my heart. Both of them glancing at each other, even from the darkness I can sense the flames of fury in Minho’s eyes and the confusion looks from Dr.Yong.”I’ll leave you both to discuss this.”Dr.Yong quickly takes this opportunity to back off from the conversation and make a beeline to leave the room. As the door shut, I rose and walked nearer to him, I once again murmured my intention.”I’ll do the heart transplant; I’ll give him my heart.””No, I’m not letting you do this.”He disagrees shaking his head furiously.”Minho, I can’t live without him. Please.”I begged him, controlling my threatening tears. He put his arms on my shoulders and he shook me to make me aware of what I’m saying.”Taeyeon, it’s useless, if you give him your heart, you’ll die and he won’t see you, vice versa.” He raises his tone at me making sure his point gets across. I continuously begged, my tears fall down unceremoniously.”No, I can’t let you go.” he said leaving me confused, he embraced me, resting my head on his broad chest listening to his steady heartbeat while drenching his shirt with my overflowing emotions. I heard sobbing and trickle of tears, then I realised he was crying along for some reason. “I love you, Taeyeon, that’s why I can’t let you do this.”He said in between his sobbing. I froze.”I don’t want to lose you.”He said while pecking my forehead, somehow it makes me more relaxed.

“Jinki.”Taeyeon said while cracking open the door, entering the too familiar room. She saw him lying lifelessly on the bed, mustering all of his energy to move his face muscles flashing his smile. The last smile. She took a seat next to him, a routine that she accustomed to during this one month. Taeyeon slowly, carefully entwined her hand with his freezing ones.He removed his breathing aid just to nag at her.”Taeyeon-ah, go to sleep.”He slowly said with some leftover energy.Taeyeon shook her head disagreeing. Trickle of tears started to slide down her cheeks.Jinki rubbed his cold thumbs, wiping off those tears.”I told you, I hate it when you cry, I love you the best when you smile and laugh.So,can you smile?”Jinki said while rubbing off the excess tearstains. Taeyeon slowly formed a small smile, in order to make him happy.”I’m going to miss this.”Jinki spoke softly.”Come here.”he called out Taeyeon to join him on the bed. After sliding on the bed in an uncomfortable position, Jinki quickly wrapped his arms around her waist avoiding her to fall off.”Sleep,Taeyeon.”he mutters while kissing her forehead, inhaling the heaven scent of her strawberry shampoo.”Taeyeon,don’t ever cry when I;m no longer here.Remember I’ll be watching you.”Jinki said while caressing Taeyeon’s long hair. ”Jinki-ah,I love you.”Taeyeon said before closing her eyelids.”I love you too.”Jinki tighten his embrace on Taeyeon and closed his eyes for the last time.When the sun shines into the room,Taeyeon wakes up but Jinki never did,Taeyeon left him a peck on his lips.

Fulfilling her promise to Jinki, Taeyeon didn’t spill a single tear, holding Gwiboon’s hand for strength all the time during the funeral procession. Thanks to Minho, who decided to take care of Jinki’s resting.Only few people were there. Minho,Jonghyun,Gwiboon,Taeyeon and few other nurses and doctors.Her heart pierced when none of his former friend were there, she’s the only person he have.”We gathered here to send away our friend and family and lover Lee Jinki. Let us have a moment of silence reminisce and thanked him for the good deeds he had made in our everyday lives.Thank you for you friendship,thank you for you company,thank you for your smile,thank you for being my first love and I can’t thank you enough for being my everything. As Jinki’s coffin were buried deep 6 feet down,all those memories weren’t buried along with him ,it’s safely kept deep down in Taeyeon’s heart.

The car ride back to her house in Minho’s BMW was silent and awkward. “I’m going away from Korea.”Taeyeon muttered.”To where, how long?”Minho glanced at the figure next to him in shock.”I’m going to Africa for two years volunteering.”Taeyeon answered.”Can you promise me something two years from now, you’ll be back in Korea, being once the same Taeyeon I met, the one who have the brightest smile in the world.”Minho asked.”Will you wait?”Taeyeon continued.”Don’t worry I’ll be waiting for you.”Minho answered assuringly.
