Third Person POV:

“No! I’m not lying! Jung Kook is here! He’s unconscious! He couldn’t open his eyes! Y-Yoongi!” Taehyung begs pointing where Jung Kook’s soul is. Yoongi looked at it and only floor could be seen on his eyes.

“Are you crazy?! Jung Kook is at the hospital lying on his bed for almost a year now! What are you saying he couldn’t open his eyes? Of course he is in a coma!” Yoongi shouted to hide the fact that Taehyung might be telling the truth.

Unseen truth but words coming from Taehyung’s mouth was making his heart clenched. “Jung Kook, J-Jung Kook’s only favor to me is to make Seok Jin happy, I can’t! I know I am not him, s-so you should do his favor huh?” Taehyung muttered, pleading as he shook Yoongi.

Taehyung’s eyes was on the ground, searching for hope he could pour for Jung Kook not to go.

“Don’t lie to my face!” Yoongi shouted freeing himself from Taehyung’s hold but he couldn’t. He pushed Taehyung hard causing him to land his butt on the rough floor, and as Yoongi let himself fall, he fisted his hair.

“I was with Jung Kook at the hospital! Jung Kook will wake up before this year end! This is fucking ridiculous, he wouldn’t laid himself there for so long for us to expect nothing! He’ll come back!–“

“That’s all we wanted! B-But Jung Kook, i-it’s up to Jung Kook and h-his fate.”

Taehyung watched how Yoongi left. Taehyung was hiding his tears from Jung Kook after that event.

Taehyung saw how Jung Kook barely talks, or get up from anywhere he’d been settled.

“Jung Kook, Jin should be aware we are digging up Mr. Kim, his father’s past, we should ask him about his own father more than us doing it by ourselves. It’ll be unfair for him to have it in one blow.”

“You have to tell him by yourself, ask him and tell him everything you have to, I will stay with you Jung Kook by that time.”

“I know this is a very devastating matter that we have to tell him and remind him again about his father, but this might set a peace of mind that he didn’t even know.”

Jung Kook looks away before he breathed. “There’s no way my guts will be right, I hope not, but Kim Taehyung…”

“What if Seok Jin knows something but decides to keep it by himself, by him and Yoongi only?”

Taehyung shut his eyes before he sat down beside Jung Kook. “Your guts, my guts, everyone’s guts about what happened will just remain as assumptions without Seok Jin telling what he knows about Mr. Kim’s condition before passing away.”

“Jung Kook even just a single information, a new information might help us to go on with the investigation, nothing will works about Mr. Choi because Mr. Kim is connected in this.”

Jung Kook has been listening to Taehyung’s nagging and advice. Pleading and trustful words. Jung Kook couldn’t help but to smile when he handed out his hands. “Let’s pretend that everything’s okay, let’s drink.”

Taehyung chuckled, relieved, worried but having an understanding, his hands was trying to feel Jung Kook in any chance, he’s risking it all. “Believe me or not, my body was numb, I’m cold, don’t pretend like you are cool.” Jung Kook said adding a teasing tone.

Taehyung moved his hand down as he rub both of his hands. “We're both cool. Going to grab some cans wait a second.”
Jung Kook had been watching Taehyung getting lost with his own place. A can of beer was untouched but still, Taehyung let it opened for Jung Kook.

To somehow feel that Jung Kook is still with him. “I am telling the truth. I have to go.” Jung Kook was thankful that he managed to utter the statement.

“You’re not going anywhere. We’re drinking.” Taehyung twitch the can as he made it stand like a glass sand figure.

“You know what I am talking about.” Jung Kook repeated.

“Stay with us Jung Kook.” A drunken voice echoed at the living room when Taehyung leaned his head at the couch lean board.

Jung Kook looks at him, he saw Taehyung causing him to look away. “I made the right choice Kim Taehyung.”

Jung Kook is worried about his husband. He’s so sure that Seok Jin will panic again if he’s not in front of their house or at the hospital for them to go home together, but for the night, he'd decided to stay with Taehyung.

Taehyung is drunk, the door of his room was closed, there’s no way he could help himself out.

Being a soul is really pathetic, like you’re not existing at all, everything is restricted. “Jung Kook-ah h-he loves you.”

“He needs you not me.” Taehyung mumbled as he open his eyes leaning closer to Jung Kook.

“You want him to be happy r-right? Y-You want Seok Jin to be happy right?”

“You have to come back t-then, y-you have to fight to your own stated fate. D-Do everything, try anything.” Jung Kook was listening to Taehyung’s pleads.

I did everything, and you are the right one for my decision. I will do everything…

Until my last moment. All of the thoughts was kept to Jung Kook’s mind, as he smiles at Taehyung trying to touch his face.

“I wonder if Seok Jin meets you first, is he going to still choose me over you?” Jung Kook jokingly said, to change the atmosphere but Taehyung bacame mad.

“If I was in your place and you are at mine, I’m sure I will also do what you did to save him and you will do everything to convince me about the same thing I am saying to you.”

“I barely drink alcohol since I have a low tolerance, but I don’t know why the fuck alcohol isn’t working on my system right now.”

Smiling wide, Jung Kook stood up. “What am I gonna do, even if I wanted to stay, soon, it’ll be my time to go.”

Fortunately, when Taehyung went to Seok Jin’s house with Jung Kook, there’s no indication of people at home.

That could only means Seok Jin stayed with Jung Kook at the hospital. Hurriedly Taehyung and Jung Kook drives fast at the hospital, both anxious how Seok Jin might react.

But what shocked them the most is, there’s no Seok Jin at the hospital, only Mr. and Mrs. Jeon with Yoongi. “Mom, Dad.” Jung Kook whispers but Taehyung heard him.

They looked at each other, but at the same time looks away to tough up their emotions.

So it happened that Seok Jin went out when he receives a call that he didn’t mention to anyone who.

“Yoongi how could you let that happen? What if its just a scam.–“

“Its not, he said its about our Dad.” Jung Kook stood close to his parents when his tears fell. “It must be really hard for you to see your cute son sleeping peacefully there right?”

“I’m so sorry, you’ll no longer see that sight. I am causing all of you a lot of pain and bother.” Jung Kook moved closer to his mother’s cheeks feeling her face. While his hands was caressing his father’s back.

Jung Kook was crying, but he is keeping his sobs as if he is still being conscious if they can hear him aside from Taehyung.
