Jimin's eyes grew wider and he looked at the professor who gave him a small nod before the three of them ran to the car...

"If something happens to Seokie I won't ever be able to forgive myself" Jimin said in between his sobs they have been searching for them for the past hour and naturally Jimin's mind is filled with all the negative thoughts while Jungkook was trying his best to calm Jimin down but deep down he was equally worried for his brother

That's when Jimin's phone started ringing... It was none other than his Yoongi hyung... "Hello?"



"Jimin-ah... Come to the hospital"

An hour ago~

"Aein... Please talk to me... I know I did wrong... But please... I can't leave without you" Hoseok said while taking glances at his husband who was looking out of the window

"Hoseok, focus on the road or we might get into an accident and unlike Taehyung I don't want to die this young" Jimin said while still looking out of the window…. The older male sighed and focused on the road but he hesitantly tried to put a hand on his husband's thigh... "Baby... Please... I can't live without you..." an awful silence lingered in the air before Jimin said... "Then die" Hoseok's eyes grew wide... "What?" He asked not believing his ear... "I said..." Jimin looked at Hoseok and the younger's face was half burnt with moths crawling over "Die" Hoseok screamed and lost the balance of his car resulting it to drop in the ditch

-----

Jimin and Jungkook ran into the hospital and saw Yoongi standing outside of the operation theatre " What happened to him? Is he alright?Where did you find him? Why aren't you saying anything tell me" Jimin said while crying his heart out... Yoongi didn't reply and just pulled him in his embrace "Why aren't you saying anything?is he alright?" Jimin asked in a voice over whisper

"He got into a really bad accident... Doctors are trying their best" Yoongi's voice was gentle knowing that each and every word will break his brother and husband... "Will he make it?" Jimin asked and the older male sighed "we will bring world's best doctor for him" but that wasn't the answer Jimin wanted "Will he make it?" He repeated the question "Jimin-"

"No Hyung... Just tell me will he make it?" This time... He was looking deep in his brother's eyes... "Chances are very low" Jimin's heart shattered into millions of pieces while Jungkook fell down on knees... yes, he said he hates his brother but there is a difference between saying and actually mean it "Sorry... if I wouldn't have tried to stop you... maybe this could have been avoided" he said while his words were barely over whisper

"This is not the time to blame yourself... There is still a chance to save Hoseok... All we have to do is find Taehyung's body and burn it... Before Hoseok loses the battle" Professor Kang butted in... Yoongi gave a strange look to him... "Taehyung who?"

"We will tell you later , be with Seokie and please keep us updated " before Yoongi could reply they left "Seokie must have buried Taehyung's body near that gun only " Jimin said  making Professor Kang nod as they made their way to the forest

The moon casts an eerie glow over the jungle... Jimin and other two were finding the place where Taehyung's body must be buried... Jimin took a deep breath, his warm breath visible in the chilly air, and steps forward...

Jimin's lantern flickered as he moved deeper into the jungle... His eyes scanned the land that didn't had any grass on it... "Found it" they started digging the land... "Professor, please bring the petrol from the car" the youngest male requested… The professor nodded and made his way back to the car, just felt someone's presence, Knowing what it could be he speed walked to the car

But it was too late... The moment he got into the car... Electric wire got wrapped around his neck... He trying his best to get free but there wasn't a way to get out of the grip... "Uh..." That's all he uttered before taking his late breath...

Jimin and Jungkook saw Professor Kang walking in their direction with a can of petrol but the liquid wasn't there in it... "Professor... You were supposed to bring the petrol... Not the can" Jimin said and Kang looked in his direction... "Why? So, you can burn my body and save your husband? It will never happen you bastard... Hoseok is mine" Kang's voice was growly and deeper than anyone could imagine... J-duo's eyes grew wide

Jimin immediately started running for his dear life... while Jungkook stayed back ready to fight with Taehyung's spirit "Before harming my hyung you have to deal with me" tensioner hung heavy in the air as the spirit eyes possessing Professor Kang's body flickered, revealing glimpses of inner turmoil… Jungkook gulped but, his eyes gleaming with a relentless resolve to protect his loved ones at any cost

The forest echoed with their clash, when Taehyung attacked without showing any mercy while Jungkook was trying his best to defend himself but then Taehyung used his supernatural powers and lifted Jungkook in the air who felt an invisible strangling force and soon lost his consciousness, but just a car with his full force hit him making him lose his control over Jungkook who fall down at that very moment, Jimin took that as an opportunity and poured the petrol all over Taehyung's lifeless body

But that's when a giant piece of wood hit Jimin's body making him lose his balance... "You thought you had a chance against me? Hoseok might be in love with you but at the end... I will have him" Taehyung growled and pushed the car away from him... Jimin groaned and his eyes grew wide when Professor Kang possessed by Taehyung started walking in his direction with an axe... He gulped and started crawling back... But Jungkook came out of nowhere and pushed Kang's body away from his Hyung with full force... "Hyung catch" he threw the match box in his brother-in-law's direction... Jimin was trying to light the matches but it wasn't working... Taehyung threw Jungkook away like garbage but he was too late... By the time he got closer to Jimin... The body was already on fire

"NOOOOOO" He screamed as his eyes turned teary feeling an ache to watch his grasp on the physical world slip away, like a dimming light gradually extinguishing...

But a smirk appeared on his face "Even if he couldn't become mine... he won't ever be yours again" that was his last words before leaving the physical world for once and for all

Jimin sighed and stood up to check on his best friend who was still laying on the floor... "Kookie" he shook Jungkook's body who groaned in pain... "It's over?"

"Yes..." he bit his lips to prevent himself from crying... he softly traced Jungkook's wounds who hissed with every touch "Are you alright?" His lips wobbled seeing his best friend in pain "Yeah... Are you?" Jimin nodded... "Then let's go see Hobi hyung... I heard what he said... Do... Do you t-think?"

" There is only one way to find out " Saying that he helped Jungkook up and gently made him sit on the passenger seat before driving back to the hospital when they reached the place... Hoseok's parents were already there... Yoongi came running towards them... "Hey... Where were you guys and... What happened to you both?" He asked worriedly when he saw them covered in multiple wounds "Nothing... we are alright, what about him? He is okay??" Jimin asked with his voice filled with concern

Yoongi nodded... "Yeah... He is out of danger... Doctors were surprised because they almost lost him..." The older male said and Jimin started walking in the direction of the ICU that was opposite to the OT...

Yoongi held Jungkook in his arm as the younger male lost his balance... "you okay?" Jungkook nodded... Pressing his forehead against his husband... "If it wasn't for Jimin Hyung... We would have lost Hobi hyung" they both looked at the said male who was peeping through the small transparent glass…

'For you, I could pretend like I was happy when I was sad...
For you, I could pretend like I was strong when I was hurt...
I wish love was perfect as love itself...
I wish all my weaknesses could be hidden...
I grew a flower that can’t be bloomed in a dream that can’t come true…'
