You Can't Get Away From Me

Chapter 16 The Last Memory

He's barely conscious, he could barely feel his own body as it was slowly shutting down, the pain on the back of his head and chest was unbearable, he couldn't even move his trembling lips to say a name that he wished to, he could only watch with his unfocused wet eyes at a shadow crawled with so much difficulty towards his laying position on the side of the pavement, not far from the burning things, it seemed he was thrown out of the car just a second before it got into an angry flame,he didn't know wether it's counted as luck, he didn't know which way's better, burnt to death or left frozen until he met his end.

The flame danced in the raging storm, the way it continued burning down the whole thing even the storm was having it hard to extinguish it, in his half conscious mind, he thought it was a magical view, that blazing amber flame reminded him of a pair of eyes that he loved to look at.

His eye lids slowly closed on their own, he almost gave himself up to the darkness when he heard a voice calling out his name again, he recognised it even from miles away.

"Tae..." His own hoarse cracked voice sounded hollow to his own ears, he managed to utter that beautiful name by the tip of his bitter tongue as he saw the shadow getting closer and closer.

He could see him now, and he knew he wasn't far better, he could see he was bleeding in so many places, the red liquid on his forehead dripped down on the frozen ground and immediately it was covered by some fresh snow that kept falling from the dark sky.

His heart bleeds even more when he caught a glimpse of tears on those amber eyes, how he wished he could run towards him and wiped those tears away, he'd never seen him cry, and it pained him even more that he's the one who caused those precious tears to fall,

Although He wasn't fully remembering what had happened, one thing for sure, when he woke up on the bed this morning with Taehyung's beautiful smiling face laid next to him, that he couldn't resist but to steal a light kiss on those lips, he thought he was the happiest person alive, until some bad guys came and hurt him, he refused to recall the things they did to him. His hot tears froze on the corner of his eyes as one of the painful memories popped inside his pained head.

Is it going to be his last night to stay with Taehyung? It's time to reunite with his father he guessed, never thought they would end up like this, no, he wasn't scared of dying, rather he felt a slight of happiness, to die beside your love's every single person in this world's wishes, but he wanted his love to live, would it be too much if he wished to watch over him from above, yes, live on Tae,

"Ta-tae, stay, stay - alive.." That's the last sentence he could utter before he closed his eyes, letting the darkness wrap around him as he surrendered into his pain.

"No.." Taehyung choked on his tears that mixed with blood in his throat as he watched those sapphire gems closed once again.

He reached one of his bloody hands through his pocket only to pull out a very small delicate purple box, which miraculously still intact even after the harsh crash.

He slid the small round thing on Jungkook's ring finger with his shaky hands, before he put the other one on his, they glittered as the snow fell on top of them.

His tears flowed down on the frozen ground.

"We're finally, together - love. If it's our last... Let's, let's meet again, someday," He rested his forehead down on top of Jungkook's cold one, he shifted closer so he's body was slightly laying on top of him, covering him from direct pours.

That's alright, they're finally together on the very last of their breath, with the snows that keep falling, gradually covering their bodies, it's fine.
