Little by little we let go of loss but never of love...

And just like that May's treatment went on and on without anybody else's notice. Jimin was obliged to give anything and do everything just to save the girl's life. The doctors tried their best to offer the best treatment to push May from darkness to the light, give her some hope and a reason to live again. At a point of time, it really seemed like she was healing until her body took a sudden toll towards the worst and her health deteriorated as days passed until...
..that day...
...which Jimin would never forget.

-[Mr. Park, you're requested to come to the hospital as soon as possible]
My insides twisted making me feel sick at just the sight of that single text from the hospital where May was admitted.
[I'd be there right now. But may I know the reason? Is everything fine?]
-Seen
-[Mr. Park, your patient, Miss Kim...]
...typing...
..No, please...!!
-[She's in a critical condition]

'But doctor you've got to save her,' I signed, desperately, feeling everything going out of control now. The doctor just looked at me with a dejected expression and shook his head slowly. 'I'm sorry, Mr. Park. We did our best but she isn't responding to any of our treatments,' saying he placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder, giving it a light squeeze.
'I suggest that you might as well prepare yourself mentally because... she doesn't have much time left with her now,' he said and went away.
No... No it can't be..!
NO!!
I can't let her go! I'll NOT leave her...!!
I felt my feet sink beneath the ground, sucking me in. How is that even possible? I dragged myself towards May's room and instantly my heart dropped seeing her condition. She had turned absolutely weak, tossing on the bed in pain.
'M-May...' I squeaked.
She took in a deep breath and looked at me. 'Jimin...,' she gasped and coughed. I ran towards her and held her hand tightly.
'Jimin, I told you, d-didn't I? A-all your mo-money..,' her voice quavered as her whole form shook badly.
'Please.. Money is not the factor, May. I did it for someone I love and care for. And I don't regret a single bit of it, I promise,' I whispered. I furiously rubbed away the tears which were blinding my sight. I needed to see her now.
'I've something to te-tell you. Where are the rest?' she asked.
'They are on their way,' I answered.
