And the last bag was packed and sitting pretty at the corner of the big room along with the others ready to get loaded into the car parked just outside.Jimin sighed heavily running his eyes around the room one last time.Hoseok's side of the room stayed the same but Jimin's side was completely empty now.Before he could lament and get lost in the million memories he made in this room,late night gossips and laughter that rang against the walls whenever the room was occupied ,there was a slight knock on the door.Jimin turned around to greet the very same person who filled his thoughts.
"Thought you were crying",Hobi chuckled,something sad in the way he said it and Jimin just gave him a smile,"No..all tears had been spend..no tears left to cry"

Hoseok's lips turned thin,he knows what Jimin meant.Ofcourse Jimin had cried a lot these past months.An awful lot.First it was from physical pain,it was one of the particular dance practices when Jimin tumbled to land on his knees and immediately had howled in pain as he fell sideways careful to avoid falling over Jin.He had not been able to move,he laid there clutching his knee and growling in pain.Jungkook had hauled him into the car with the other boys trailing and shouting to clear the hall way.
Second time Jimin cried was when the doctor explained what had happened and what will happen.Jimin had clutched onto Namjoon's shirt and cried when it was decided he can't strain his legs anymore,can't perform the way he used to and should rest his leg for the better part of the coming years.

Jimin was in shambles and he cried again when all of them were called together to decide that Jimin won't be participating in promotions that had dancing numbers.And that particular day,everyone cried with him.
The last cry was on the day he decided to move out of the dorm.Merely waiting around while the boys were in practice didn't help Jimin to heal at all.The occasional physio's visit helped out a bit but not enough to quench his loneliness.So he called upon his mom to come stay with him in his apartment and Jimin would vacate the dorm till he can come back when he'd be able to be on stage for the dancing choreos too,not just for the ballads and melodies.So yes,Jimin had no tears left to cry.

Hoseok pulled Jimin close and hugged him tightly.
"I'll miss you..I feel like am losing my right hand", Hoseok said into Jimin's shoulders and Jimin mumbled,"I'll miss you more..I'll come visiting"
When they parted, Jimin didn't dare look at Hoseok's face but he called out,"Jimin"
"Yes,hyung",He turned around still trying not to meet Hoseok's eyes.
"Taehyung..let him down slowly"
And Jimin sighed,"I will"

..and to be honest Jimin doesn't know how to let Taehyung down slowly at all.He walked out of the room in search of him,there was none other than Hoseok and Taehyung in the room.And Taehyung hadn't announced he was going anywhere so he pulled his phone out and typed,"where are you?"
The reply came almost immediately,"on the terrace" and Jimin's lips twisted up to a sad smile.It was their place afterall.

..
Jimin pushed the heavy door to the terrace and his eyes immediately fell onto the lonely figure by the edge,legs hanging off.Even his back profile looked sad,hunched over and clutched to a juice box like it's a life line.Jimin had no heart to face him,not without willing it to break into a million pieces.He almost considered turning around and walking away without a goodbye.But there's too much history in between them,too much things said and more  left unsaid.Jimin just can't turn around from it all,not from his soulmate.
"You said we'd make it till the end", Taehyung spoke surprising him,his back still turned away from Jimin and Jimin took a deep breath before walking over to lean and fall onto Taehyung's back hugging from behind.
"My baby bear"

Taehyung sighed and tilted his head to lean against Jimin's head.Jimin closed his eyes and let himself bask in the moment,his heart painfully reminded him that he had to let go.And eventually he did before coming to sit by Taehyung.Taehyung mindlessly passed the juice box to Jimin and he took a sip.
"When are you-", Taehyung trailed off,his eyes purposefully casted away from Jimin to the shimmering lights of Seoul beneath their feet.
"Manager hyung will be here in like 2 minutes",Jimin distractedly checking his phone for the time and they fell silent.Some voice inside Jimin's head kept urging him to speak,say something,anything to fill the silence so that the goodbyes are not empty but he came up with nothing.Each second that passed was like a bullet shot into his heart.And then Taehyung's hand moved across his knees to place it over Jimin's hand by his side but before it could thread between Jimin's,his phone went off.
