MY BRIGHTEST STAR

4

As Jungkook approached the familiar cemetery gates, a wave of pain and sorrow washed over him.
The path leading to his beloved partner's grave seemed longer than he remembered, each step echoing the passage of time since he last visited.

Kneeling before the grave, he traced his fingers over the smooth surface of the stone, feeling the cool solidity beneath his touch. Memories flooded his mind - moments shared, laughter exchanged, memories made. He closed his eyes, allowing himself to be enveloped by the bittersweet embrace of the past. Tears which he had been holding all the way to cemetery started cascading down his cheeks.

"Baby...I miss you. I miss you so much." In the quiet of cemetery he spoke.

"D-do you miss me too? Do you miss your kookie, baby?" He sobbed while a wave of gentle breeze ruffled his hairs maybe letting him know the answers of his questions.

But he was not ready to accept them.
"You don't miss me...I know y-you d-don't. It was your decision after all and I know you don't regret it... you were always selfish, Tae. Y-you...have you ever tried to thought about me...about how I'm gonna live without you? Without you...I'm n-nothing, Tae... this kookie is living corpse without you." He sobbed harder as he laid his head on the cold stone while his arms hugged the same.
He knew he was uttering nonsense about Tae being selfish...his baby can never be selfish. Infact he was the most selfless and kindest soul...no one in the world can be as generous as him.

"I'm sorry. I'm so s-sorry. I didn't know what I was saying....cuz I'm losing my mind, Tae. I'm becoming more and more crazy. Without you..it's so hard. P-Please come back..."

Jungkook didn't know for how long he had been crying about his miseries while hugging that marble stone before he wiped his eyes and cheeks to withdraw.

And leaving behind a bouquet of his love's favorite fresh flowers, he took one last look at the gravestones, etching this moment into his heart before turning to walk away, carrying their love with him as a cherished legacy that would never fade.

"Hey, V what a coincidence..."

An annoying sigh left V's mouth as he recognized the approaching figure.

"Were you following me?" He asked annoyingly while folding his arms as he looked at the person with squinting eyes.

"W-what? No. As I said It's just a coincidence.... that too..a beautiful one. Isn't it? " Wang chuckled out nervously before he continued.
"By the way are you leaving for home...let me drop you... I'm going the same way"

"Er..thank you but I have to buy few things"
"So you can-

"I can wait"

V sighed. "Whatever suits you but just don't follow me" he said pointing his forefinger towards him.

"But V--ok" Wang pouted when he saw the other already walking away.

As V reached a little far from Wang he breathed out in frustration. He just wanted to get rid of Wang but looks like the other had no plan to leave him in peace.

He looked around not knowing what to do now.
There were chain of different shops including grocery, cutlery, food, clothing stores etc but what caught V's attention was a flower boutique. And he felt his legs dragging him towards that particular shop, as soon as he entered the shop, he found sweet blossomy freshness of flowers filling the whole atmosphere.
The store had wide collection of exotic flowers such as roses, lilies, sunflowers, daffodils, daisies and his most favorite one...orchids.

"so pretty" he mumbled as he traced the soft petals of his favorite flower.

"May I help you, sir" A woman in mid 40s walked towards him with a small smile plastered on her face.
