Jimin looks around his café one more time before closing for the day.
He shivered as soon as he stepped outside. The weather was getting colder day by day. He didn't realize how cold and....lonely it had become without a special someone to keep him warm.
He exhaled deeply, looking at the starless sky of Seoul, wishing to the stars out there that he couldn't see that the man he'd been yearning to see returns to him soon. With his thoughts, Jimin starts walking towards his home.
As Jimin nears his apartment building, he sees a soldier pacing around, just outside the entrance. He, for some reason, looks nervous, and Jimin's not getting a good feeling about this.
As Jimin approaches, the soldier looks up, and there is a glimpse of familiarity in his eyes. It's like he knows Jimin, but Jimin doesn't know him.
"Hello.." The soldier greets Jimin as soon as he is close enough.
"Hello..how may I help you?" Jimin asks politely after greeting the soldier back.
"You are Jimin-shi, right?
"Yes.." Jimin answers surprised, but at the same time, a disturbing feeling settles in his stomach. He feels sick suddenly..is it indigestion? Did he eat something bad? Or is it something else?
"I....an Lieutenant Song Ki Joon...I am here to inform you of something and give you this letter...from Tae.."
"Wait!" Jimin suddenly screamed.
Somehow..he knew what was coming...suddenly the dread...the sick feeling in his stomach...it all makes sense...but..how?
It's not possible, right? He can't leave him...no something's wrong..maybe this is a dream and he'll wake up to find everything was fake...none of this will be real, and he will be happy again..right?
Jimin's mind was spiraling. Without even realizing it, he was already crying, and the soldier in front of him was no better.
He went on his knees while crying, "I'm sorry, but... he's no more.."
The soldier heard a thud sound and looked up to find Jimin on the ground, passed out.
Jimin wakes up with a jolt. His breathing is fast as he looks around for his phone. It's 4 A.M., and the date is fourth of December, 2022.
He falls back on the pillow with a sigh of relief. So..it was a dream...but it wasn't fake..it was a reality he had faced two years ago.
Two years ago, when he had heard the news of Tae Ho's passing, his entire world had come crashing down, when he started feeling that there was no love in this world..no purpose.
Two years had passed, and now...he smiles as he thinks about the new purpose...and possibly love..he smiles as he thinks about Taehyung.
Taehyung...sweet..fun..silly..caring..kind...handsome Taehyung..the one who came out of nowhere and turned Jimin's life upside down..but it was the best twist of his life, and if all turns and twists are like this..Jimin wants his life full of them.
Feeling like he's not going to get any sleep now, Jimin gets out of bed and shivers. It was cold, bone chilling cold, yet he had this urge to go out and breathe the fresh morning air.
Maybe the cold can somehow numb his heart, and his heart could, for a second, forget about the lonely feeling and the fear.
It had been more than three months since Taehyung left, and there was still no sign of him.
Jimin's heart was longing for Taehyung, and the void in his heart was increasing day by day, a void only Kim Taehyung could fill.
As Jimin set out to take a stroll in the chilling early morning air, he shook like a dry leaf. It was freezing. But, at the same time, it is calming.
There was no one around; distant sounds of vehicles could be heard; other than that, it was quiet. He could hear his heart beating, he could hear the sound his foot made when they stepped on the ground, the sound of his breathing...
He never heard those things, never paid any mind to them, these small things..
Jimin wondered why he never did these kinds of things and why he never went out on walks at four in the morning on a freezing day. Whatever, he's glad he did this today better than ever.
Though he has Taehyung to thank for this, even without being here, Taehyung was the reason Jimin could experience something new.
He walked around, cold yet warm, without any destination in mind, just strolling aimlessly. He didn't know how much time had passed, but slowly people began to appear on the streets, and the earlier dark sky was starting to light up a little with the rays of the sun, ready to jump out and start another day.
As Jimin was roaming around the streets, he saw a lonely figure from far away. This was the first evidence of human existence Jimin had seen since he left his house for an impromptu stroll.
Normally, he wouldn't pay too much attention to a person walking down the street. But, strangely, he felt as if this human was looking at him directly, and looking at him made the other human speed up. Because it was still dawn and the fog hadn't cleared up, he couldn't figure out properly what was going on. So, naturally, like any other person, Jimin felt a little scared and decided it was best for him to retreat.
He turned around and began his walk back home when he heard it.
'It' was a man screaming his name on the top of his lungs. But the voice....he knew that voice...that deep..soulful...loving voice.....but it can't be him, right?
Jimin was almost sure that he was being delusional...it was probably his brain acting up due to a lack of sleep. He should rush back home before...
Before he could start running, a pair of strong arms held him in their comfortable and warm embrace.
He felt a warm breath next to his right ear on this cold morning that sent shivers down his spine.
And then...he heard it very clearly, as clear as any sound in this world could be, "Jimin-ah....are you running away from me?"
And Jimin turned around at the speed of light...no, probably faster than that.
And what he saw...he will never be able to forget. As the sun finally rose above the horizon and blessed the cold morning of Seoul with it's first rays, in that beautiful moment, he saw something even more beautiful.
He saw the man he had probably started to love, beaming down at him with his signature boxy smile. There he was....finally the wait was over...Taehyung was here.
And before Jimin could comprehend what he was doing, lips had already touhed, flowers had already bloomed in this cold winter morning.
Two souls, who had been waiting for each other since they existed on this earth, had finally merged.
And, even though it was a bitter cold morning, Jimin had never felt so warm.
