Yours Truly

103: For you, I'm okay being hurt

She didn't take her phone with her. Jungkook did, and it stopped him from jumping. Though, she wished that would have been the case always. The air hitting her face, as she sobbed and sobbed. She harshly tried rubbing those tears off. She has to do this. She has to take away all the miseries with her. She kept on hearing the voices, stronger and stronger, urging her. She saw glimpses of her Unnies and Oppas,
"Jump off, Ae-ra. We are waiting for you."
They chanted, louder with time. She hesitated and twiddled around. She loved her life. She loved the past month. She loved the food and the music. She loved waking up and going to bed. She loved drawing and cooking and go cafe hopping. She loved the flowers and the changing of seasons. And lastly, she loved him.
Yeah, that's right, she loved him. She loved him more than anything. She loved him to the point that it started to hurt her, thinking that someday, her curse would take him away. And that's why she needs to do it. To save him.
"He has saved you countless times Jeong Ae-ra. This time, save him. Kill yourself."
She sniffed, her nose blood red. Jeon Jungkook was sitting beside her, blood dripping out of his head, glass stuck to his eyes. Jennie was on her right. Burned down. She felt as if her heart would stop. She bent down on the otherside. Puking, till it started to hurt her. Eyes watered more, to the point of blurriness. She crawled almost knees bruised. Sierra hoarsely croaked,
"Can you guys please leave me? I... I wanna live."
She saw the long pair of legs walking towards her. She squated down to her level. Blood oozing out of her wounds and bones poking out of places. Lisa's bangs were soaked in blood. Her cold fingers tucked away Sierra's sweaty, messy hairs,
"Sure we can. But where shall we go? Shall we go to Kim Taehyung? That sounds good, right? We can stay with him, inside his mind. We can pop up in front of him and talk to him whenever we want. That would be fine by you Ae-ra?"
Yoongi patted her back, stroking her hair gently with his burnt hands,
"Ae-ra-ya, we don't want any harm for you. Instead we are saving you."
Namjoon had a strong red mark around his neck. His neck looked slightly crooked, his eyes were blank and face was pale. His tongue was the only colour on his face. Red. He had his jail uniform on. His voice was extremely hoarse. He walked towards her, took her hands and helped her up,
"Ae-ra, if you kill yourself today, that would be the end to all of your pain. It would end your sadness and misery. You wouldn't miss us, or try to push us away."
Jimin smiled at her. He was blue and his fingers were shriveled. His eyes were red, hair wet.
"Plus, you'll save Kim Taehyung. You love him, don't you? So why do you want to live? The more you live the more he'll get hurt."
Rose sneaked up next to her. Wrapping her arm aeound her waist. At this point she was too engrossed, to the point that she forgot to be scared.
"You have only put Kim Taehyung through pain. You have only brought him misery. You killed his friends. You changed him, alongside everyone Let him live. Let him be happy. Stop being selfish Ae-ra. Save Kim Taehyung. Save him from you. Kill yourself."
In front of her they slowly metamorphed. To how they used to be. Suddenly, they were all humans again. Jennie and Yoongi were normal. Namjoon didn't have the red mark around his neck. Jungkook and Lisa didn't have the blood and the wounds. Rosé and Jimin weren't drenched. And then her eyes met Jisoo. Standing on the railing, smiling at her. Just like before. She called for her,
"Aera-ya, hurry. Quickly kill yourself."
She glanced around. A certain warm liquid capturing all of her. She sobbed, louder than before. Running towards Jisoo.

His wrists firmly tugged onto her hand as she dived off. Kim Taehyung was late. Late enough. But not enough to lose the love of his life. She gasped, hanging mid air. Both of them had tears in their eyes. She somehow muttered,
"How did you find me?"
"Juliette, please don't."
He sobbed. She felt how sweaty his palms were. The voices kept chanting, "kill yourself.". She tried speaking, but it was hard doing so in mid air. Still she got some words out,
"Kim Taehyung. Please."
He coughed off his tears,
"I won't. I love you, and I won't not let you go."
He tried pulling her up. But she kept on resisting. Squirming, her toes gripping the concrete of the wall. It was on a rather lonelier side of the city. Abandoned 20 storey building. No one was there but them. At some point, he figured that if she keeps resisting, there were possibilities of an accident. He held her with his two wrists, firmly enough. He was out of his wits already, he knew he didn't have enough strength to go on for too long. He should make it fast,
"Juliette. Why? Please, have mercy on me. Please, let me save you."
"Let me go Kim Taehyung. Let ME save you. I've only given you pain all along. You lost your friends for me. You lost your innocemce your teenage life..."
"AND NOW I CAN'T LOSE YOU! YOU ARE ALL I HAVE! YOU ARE ALL THAT IS LEFT TO ME! You are the one that I love. Please, my Juliette."
Her eyes softened, so did her urge to fight back. With his sweaty palms and last bit of strength he pulled her up. Till the point that she had her arms around him. She was on the railing, as she wrapped her arms around him. Tears running down their eyes. She latched her lips on his, as the breeze blew gently. She breathily whispered,
"Kim Taehyung, you are the one that I love."
