The Earthquake of 2016 | A BTS Story

Area 7: All Over

Jimin and Jungkook were at Jimin's apartment, trying to cope with the fact they would never see Yoongi again.

Jimin was playing with his Gecko, and Jungkook was curled up with his knees to his chest, looking through the pictures he had with the elder.

"Hoseok hyung was fired..." Jimin mumbled, letting his Gecko crawl up his arm. "I know...He was so happy, but, he didn't know it was Yoongi hyung. If he did, he definitely would have never even agreed to do it." Jeongguk answered, sighing. "I miss him so much, hyung..."

"I know, I do too...what are we gonna do?" Jimin asked. "I don't know." Jeongguk mumbled with a tired voice. The previous three days had everyone exhausted, mentally. It was also taking a dark turn on Seokjin, and Hoseok continued blaming himself every day for Yoongi.

"Seokjin hyung's calling." Jimin picked up his phone and answered. "Hi, hyung..." He started off. "Jiminie, um, d-do you think you could, uh, come over?" Seokjin's voice was off, like he was crying but half-asleep at the same time. "Sure, I'll bring Jeonggukie." Jimin stood up, finally. Jeongguk did too and they were soon on their way to Seokjin's house. "Thanks, Jiminie...Love you."

"Seokjin hyung~" He called out once they entered. It was silent. Jimin went into his bedroom but he wasn't there. "Seokjin hyung?" He wondered around until he saw the bathroom light on. "Oh, hyung- we're here~" He went over but he stopped in his tracks at what he saw.

"Where's hyung?" Jeongguk asked, snacking on a yogurt from the refrigerator. "What?" He walked over next to Jimin and looked inside the bathroom.

Jimin slowly walked over, and sat down next to Seokjin on the floor. "Hyung...no..." His voice squeaked as he picked up his limp head, and placed it in to his lap. "Seokjin-" Jimin let the tears out and sobbed hard over Seokjin. "W-we need to call the hospital! Jimin hyung, we have to get him-!" "He's already dead, Jeongguk!" Jimin screamed at him, and pulled Seokjin's body closer to his. The elder was cold and pale, and the only sign he was actually human was the blood pouring out on to the floor from his cut wrists.

"No, he isn't! We-we have to do s-som-something!" Jeongguk was stuttering from the scene in front of him, Seokjin's crimson blood soaking into Jimin's jeans.

Jimin just cried over Seokjin, holding him as close as possible to himself. He wasn't even warm anymore, just a cold shell that gushed blood. Jeongguk sat down next to Jimin and cried on his shoulder. "We have to tell the others..."

...two hours later...

They were in the hospital, saying their final goodbyes to Seokjin, even though they knew he couldn't hear them. Deep down, Hoseok worried this would happen, and it happened right after Yoongi.

At least they went together.

Taehyung saw Hoseok signing so he turned to see what it was about.

"Look, I always feared this would happen to him. There was a look in his eye, but now it's all I want to see; him smiling, even if it's fake. Since we lost Yoongi, and, I lost my job that I worked hard for, I've been thinking about moving. There isn't much for me in this town anymore. It was Seokjin hyung who brought us all together, and Yoongi hyung that kept us together. I'm not saying we're nothing without them, I'm just saying that it'll never be the same. I'm sure you can understand my decision."

"You're leaving?! Just, up and out?" Jeongguk signed back.

"Everytime I go somewhere that we went with either one of them, I get sad. I just, want to leave it all behind me and move away. I blame myself for Yoongi hyung every godforsaken day, if I knew it was him I would have never signed up. To be honest, I should've noticed, they should've told me his name. It's my fault he's gone, and now my fault that Seokjin is too. We all know why he did this..."

"Take me with you, hyung...you're right, I don't want to stay here anymore. I met my best friend here- besides you guys, and now he's gone." Jimin agreed, signing. "I was at a really low point and Seokjin hyung just appeared. He stayed by my side, which, hardly anyone does. Just because I'm moving away doesn't mean I'll ever forget Seokjin hyung."

Hoseok and Jimin left that day, taking a plane up to Seoul, looking for something that called their name. Namjoon and Taehyung stayed, but Jeongguk moved to Busan, not too far from the two. He promised to visit occasionally.

But just because one bad thing happens, whether that be an earthquake, a person's death, or just a rough patch in your life, reach out. There's always someone out there that being your friend will change their life.

"If you ever feel like you've been buried alive, it's not that your trapped, but planted to grow into the tallest tree."

Thank you to everyone who's read this book, it's again one of my favorites ❤️ By this time though, if this isn't your first time reading a book of mine, you know that my endings are horrible😭 I didn't know whether to add a ship or not, but after a lot of thinking it didn't exactly match the storyline.

If this is your first time reading a book of mine, please consider looking at my profile to see if I've written any of your favorite ships, and don't feel shy to read them if so! Feedback is always helpful :)
