Freesia | JiKook

Chapter XIV

"When they let you rest to end all your pain, then ask God to live for another life with him..."

Third person POV

            As Jungkook promised, the couple went to the beach that evening... Jimin was wearing loose white long sleeve polo and white pants and white slippers, as if he is an angel in the night sky... Jungkook didn't let him walk nor took his wheelchair, as he carry the smaller into his back... The couple walks slowly into the sand, cherishing their time together... Jungkook is the one talking about random stuff, like what breakfast should he prepare for Jimin tomorrow, or what clothes does the latter wants to wear... Jimin tried his best to answer his questions even if he looks more tired than before... Even his breathing is slow and heavy, contrasting the light and cold breeze near the ocean...

"... Remember the day when I asked you to be my boyfriend? That is the day I found myself loving you more... As if I don't see my future without you..." Jungkook fake a smile since his eyes are blurry with tears. "If only I knew that things would go downhill, I should have ask you to be mine when we first met... God! This is so painful... I can't let go, Min-ah... I will never let go... So please live for me... Please stay with me until we get older..."

Jimin only embrace the taller with all his remaining strength, as if he already poured everything that he have...
He will definitely miss him... And as much as he wanted to fulfill the other's request, he knew that it is not possible anymore...

"... Don't leave me Min... I can't live without you..." Jungkook cries while continue walking. "I'm so scared to wake up one day without you by my side... Please don't go..."

The smaller rest his chin on Jungkook's shoulder and press his chapped lips on his cheek. "Kook-ah, do you remember my f-favorite flower?"

"It's Freesia..." He replied back; his entire body felt heavier with each step.

"A-and do you ever wonder what's the meaning of my favorite flower?" Jimin's voice became a lot more softer than before.

Jungkook shook his head...
Even if he knew the answer to his boyfriend's question, he will never say it out loud, cause it feels like he drank poison with the blinding truth...

"Freesia symbolizes unconditional love, even when your lover dies..." Jimin coughs. "A-and I will be more than happy to bring it with me on my own grave..."

Jungkook hiccups as they continue walking, eyes looking at the almost invisible horizon...
Is it really selfish of him to ask God for a miracle? They haven't even spend a lot of time together... And if God would give him another chance, he will definitely spend every single time of his life with him...

But maybe not on this lifetime...

Cause while they are walking near their favorite spot, Jimin finally gave up on his battle...
He didn't even wait for the sun to rise, as his eyes closes forever...
Jungkook's knees turn to jelly as he collapse in sandy ground...
He loss his beloved person for good, and his mind can't process everything...

Mr and Mrs Jeon soon arrived to the beach, together with Jimin's friend Hoseok... They were happily chatting when they saw Jungkook crying and yelling his life out... The calm ocean is contrast to the loud banging of the latter's heart into his chest...
The three can't believe what they saw; the lifeless body of Jimin with Jungkook mourning on his side... It's so heartbreaking, considering that Jungkook asked his dad to officiate his wedding...
And now that Jimin is dead, they knew that Jungkook won't be the same person ever again... He will definitely close his heart for anyone, and they can't stop him from doing that after this day...

"Jungkook? Son? Let's bring Jimin home..." Mr. Jeon said.

"D-dad..." He chokes up. "Jimin left me... I-I didn't even asked him t-to marry me..." He cries even more. "I-I never had the chance to marry him dad..."

Mrs. Jeon embrace her son and never let go... Jungkook is so broken right now and she can't let him do things that will harm himself...

"Mom... I let him... I let him go... I-it hurts a lot... I felt like I'm dying..." Jungkook whisper yell. "I lost him forever..."

Mr. Jeon only watch his son as the latter mourn for the lost lover... He may not bring back Jimin into life, but he will definitely give his child the wedding that he deserve...

He will officiate their wedding before Jimin's interment...
