THIRTY SEVEN

Third Person POV:

“Its your day. O-Our birthday.” Seok Jin murmured. So hopeful as he put Jung Kook’s hands to his tight hold.

Jung Kook devoured the moment Seok Jin clutched his hold, Jung Kook smiled at him before turning to Taehyung. “Kim Taehyung? Pour me a drink then.”

“Kim Seok Jin? We made our moments precious, its enough to remember. The promise I made, I’m sorry if I won’t physically perform the role of a husband to you.”

Seok Jin was hard to break, he’s not okay and only Jung Kook could bring up the feels he had lost.

It finally made sense to Taehyung now. Jung Kook was just waiting everything to be put back at place and smoothly processed into moving at the same as before.

“Why did you walked away from me when I saw you?” Taehyung asks as Jung Kook smiled at him gazing at the alcohol, waiting Taehyung to grant his request.

“Because I want you to find the grounds that hole of happiness could offer after the fall that both of you experienced.” Jung Kook says referring to where Seok Jin and Taehyung fell.

Taehyung poured an alcohol drinking it first before leaving another glass untouched. “A-Alright then, let go of your promise holding you back to find the peace, I’m not going to make another one. I’ll let time tell about the wind of us.” Taehyung says, that made Jung Kook smile.

Jung Kook avert his gaze to his husband. “Since its our birthday. Give me a present Babe.” Seok Jin attentively turned his focus on Jung Kook’s body, touching all over his face, putting Jung Kook’s warm hands in between his cheeks and neck.

“T-Take me with you–“ Taehyung turned away as him too was getting heavy by himself, his eyes was getting blurry as he tried to squeeze eyes repeatedly.

Jung Kook lowered himself, Seok Jin fondly caressed his hair that Jung Kook felt so detailed all over his soul as Seok Jin ran his hands on his laid body. “This is hard for me Babe, b-but you need to heal yourself. Y-You need to live with the memories I will left behind my steps through your big heart.”

“Babe you have a big heart, and me being part of it with my situation, isn’t going to make yourself light.”

Jung Kook wiped Seok Jin’s tears before he felt Seok Jin’s lips against his as Seok Jin leans to his body, he captured all of their precious memory before all of their family members appeared with nurses and Dr. Noh rushing where Seok Jin kissed him greetings for a hope that Jung Kook thought of as a farewell of letting him go…

Seok Jin saw three precious person in his life walking happily, away from him, on their ways to the bright spot… Before his sight too turned bright that lost his own sight of the truth…

Yoongi painfully squirmed as he glanced at his window, he grunts and swiftly fell from his bed, he didn’t know why he was freezing on a warm weather... “I’m so dead. Was Jung Kook aware how Seok Jin Hyung treats me these days?” Squirming running a hand on his hair after a battle with the light source from the window he picked up his phone.

Wandering around their house, prepping what he has to bring, Mrs. Jeon’s name flashed on his phone screen. “Seok Jin Hyung’s already with Jung Kook? How come? He said he’ll go straight in here for us to go together?” Realizing, Yoongi desperately stroke his chin.

“I see now…” Yoongi hummed as Mrs. Jeon reminds him to be careful on his way. He smiled, sliding his fingers at the wrapped ribbons around the box of cakes he had made.

Jung Kook’s ice cream cake he had suggests when him and Yoongi was having their times at the baking station.

Before, when Seok Jin wasn’t around, they tend to make lots of discoveries to make and improve at their bakery, and Yoongi never forget all of it.

Making sure it was all okay, Yoongi grumpily answer his phone. “Uh, Seok Jin Hyung~ you didn’t even tell me you’ll see Jung Kook that early.”

Yoongi didn’t faked his whining, though he went worriedly focused on the road as he says… “Still nothing from him?”

“Yoongi-ah…” Was the starter word that Seok Jin have made, and it made Yoongi chipped. “There’s a lot of flowers in here.” Of course, Yoongi says at the back of his mind but he patiently wait for Seok Jin’s thoughts that speaks nothing but honesty and loses.

“Gardenia flowers. A-And… Lavender roses… I- I’m not surprised with the lavender roses, it will remain forever, b-but the gardenia flowers. Yoongi this is the flower, this is the same flower I saw last year…”

Yoongi ended the call as he says positive things to Seok Jin’s lots of what ifs and possibilities. Yoongi turned as busy as the bees, he put his mind of taking care of plants while Seok Jin is mostly away, flying to different places, he knew how all of them especially Seok Jin went through.

The money wasn’t a problem with them, the business wouldn’t be a loss, but Yoongi didn’t want to lose the bakery as he’d decided to become Seok Jin’s source of strength as he always ask his opinion in tasting different flavor experimentation. Jung Kook was with him all the time he was trying to be tough, Yoongi knows its what Jung Kook want.

For their lives to keep on moving, for their air to remain light with his memory. Yoongi knew for sure that his memory shouldn’t suffocate all of them to the extent of reaching darkness that’ll suffocate their own.

Yoongi arrived and went straight to Mr. and Mrs. Jeon who put him on their warm embrace. After Yoongi returned the hug, a nod of signal to approach Seok Jin made him melt.

Yoongi stared at Seok Jin sitting beside Jung Kook as he say… “I am living Babe… How are you up there?”

“I am fine so you don’t have to be hard on yourself, just be happy, is what Jung Kook will surely say.”

“Right.” Seok Jin breathed out leaning his head to Yoongi caressing the gardenia flower beside the lavender rose.

Mrs. Jeon cupped Seok Jin’s face as Mr. Jeon kneeled down to place the Yoongi have bought. “Jung Kook-ah, I can still remember how healthy your hair was…” All of them recalls how Mr. Noh discussed all of the unexplainable Jung Kook’s body have shown.

“He’s brain dead, I’m so sorry to deliver such news, Seok Jin has to hear his husband’s situation.” Which Mr. and Mrs. Jeon asked for Mr. Noh’s cooperation not to blow the news to Seok Jin.

Things that had happened with the on going case of Jung Kook and Mr. Kim, then soon Taehyung was hurt badly. They couldn’t risk the news to Seok Jin, they hold onto it.

Seok Jin accepts it, that its not also easy for Mr. and Mrs. Jeon because he, himself almost lost his track, his mind, his own self.

When Taehyung and Seok Jin collapsed, and Jung Kook responds for Seok Jin and Taehyung fainting was the sound of the monitor attached to him produced a long and high deafening wretched ambiance.
