"Cheers !" , shouted the two invisibles joyfully. 

New year had come and the two had decided to celebrate Taehyung's birthday as well as the loudest yet prettiest festivity of the year on the same night. 

Midnight long gone, the entities were enjoying the strong taste of rum lingering on the tip of their tongues, making them dance without a melody and dizzy as if they had lost their minds. 

"We should fuck !" , yelled the soul all of a sudden. 

Jungkook, slightly less drunk, was surprised by the out-of-nowhere offer. 

"What the hell are you shouting for ?" , he questioned laughing. 

"Doesn't matter, come here" , Taehyung smirked as he forcefully gripped his lover's waist and captured his lips. 

Their tongues dancing along to an imagined melody, the soul began removing Jungkook's shirt in a hurry while trying to guide the later to their bedroom even thought his eyes were still sightless due to the heavy making out that was going on. 

"Soul, not tonight.." , shadow gently whispered. 

But despite his answer Taehyung just laughed and removed his own shirt,  once again capturing the shadow's lips. 

"T-Taehyung" 

"Taehyung enough !" , Jungkook's patience running out , the invisible pushed his partner away without a warning. 

Taehyung being under influence , lost his balance and with a loud crash sound , collided with a nearby table. 

Jungkook immediately panicking and starting to apologize without a break unfortunately didn't help settle the inevitable anger attack that followed a moment like this. 

Soul's tears flowing out like a river, the invisible moved his lover aside then grabbed his shirt in a hurry and ran outside the loft's door ; not forgetting to slam it after himself. 

"Shit" , the other creature cried as his body curled up on the ground , his palms covering his face.

Taehyung ran with all the strength he owned. He didn't stop until he reached the familiar bridge which habited a few streets from his loft. 

Not knowing exactly why , he suddenly found himself climbing up as if it was the day when Jungkook had found him.  

Not knowing the reason behind , he decided it was the day. 

Not knowing whether it was the sudden rush of emotion or the years long suffering he had tried to handle on his own , he stepped forward. 

Not knowing exactly why , he closed his eyes and listened to the fireworks in the sky which he desperately wanted to reach. 

Not knowing if it was going to be hell or heaven , he jumped.

'It's been two hours' , Jungkook's worry rang in his head. 

The anxious invisible seized his long black coat , dressed his feet in his brown boots and left the loft as quickly as the wind bowled outside. 

Not knowing the reason behind his sense's hypothesis , the shadow decided to follow his unconscious mind and directed his steps towards his biggest fear ; the nearby bridge. 

As soon as he turned the corner of said place , he felt his heart fall out of his chest.

"His boots..." , he whispered to himself. 

The soul's footwear was indeed facing towards the barrier but the invisible was absolutely nowhere to be found. 

Without wasting a second , Jungkook skipped to the brown colored boots and looked over the barrier in hopes to find nothing but calmly flowing water beneath it. 

But no. 

Even thought it was pitch black , invisibles had better sight than human which meant that shadow was well able to make out the silhouette move along the small waves. 

Taehyung was dead. 

And Jungkook was too , inside. 

Faith had brought the two to each other with an attempt and decided that it was gonna separate the invisibles the same exact way. 

And not knowing exactly why , that's the beauty of this story.
