NEVER LETTING YOU GO

EPILOGUE-1

HI

Namjoon got up, leaving taehyung who was crying uncontrollably in the arms of hoseok, his knees almost giving up. The harsh reality of Jungkook's revenge left him silent, reflecting the heavy cost of his actions.

He knelt beside Jungkook.

"It's over now. Kook -" The elder started but the sudden clutch on his collar made him fall.

The grip on his collar tightened as jungkook yelled on his face.

"Shut the fuck up! You hear me?? " "Shut up, Kim Namjoon. "

Namjoon stayed silent. He let the younger outburst. He wants to hear everything.

"What do you think huh? You'll say and I'll hear it?" jungkook gritted and left his collar but continued..."What do you want??.. Huh???.. What the hell do you wantttt!!! Why did you came here with taehyung ???..huh???...You want to kill my sweetheart in front of yourself too just like you did to my father???? " Jungkook disgustingly spat.

"I didn't kill my jinwoo."..Namjoon said. His eyes brimmed with tears.

" I didn't..how could I..-"..Namjoon shook his head .. "H-he was my-y.. He was -" He patted his chest ...his mouth couldn't complete his words.

"Shut up! You murderer.. Stop it" Jungkook yelled.

Now standing face to face his gaze not lowering from Namjoon's eyes. No one said anything in between these two men... Who were finally facing each other. For truth, for their family, for their own people.

The air thick with unresolved anger and grief. The two men stand facing each other, the younger one seething with rage, while the older man is visibly distraught, tears streaming down his face.

Jungkook's voice trembles with fury..
"You were his best friend! He trusted you more than anyone! And you... you betrayed him! You killed him, right in front of you!"

Namjoon sobbed, struggling to speak through his tears
"I didn't have a choice... I didn't—"

Jungkook shouted, cutting him off..
"Didn't have a choice? What kind of excuse is that? My father is dead because of you! How could you?!"

The elder's voice cracked, overwhelmed with guilt..
"They had my tae... my wife....under threat. They could have killed them ...."

"And you didn't believe my father could save them?? ...You were the reason he went there! You! He went to save you"
Junglook's voice was heavy with disbelief and anger.

"I loved your father. He was like a brother to me. But they said.. they said they'd do the exact thing to taehyung that they did to my jinnie. They'd destroy everything."... " Lee Yul said they'd.. They'd.. "
Namjoon couldn't complete his sentence as his voice broke in between.

"L-lee yul said.. Th-they'd r-rape me in front-t of a-appa and Jeon-n appa-a" The voice came from the other side and everyone turned to look at the source.

Taehyung stood up shivering in the hold of hoseok.

Namjoon cried looking at taehyung and Jungkook stands frozen, his eyes filled not just with anger, but with a profound sense of betrayal, as his father's best friend, broken and tearful, tried to explain.

"K-kookie hyung-g, ple-please believe a-ppa" Taehyung tried to request.

Yoongi & Hoseok sighed and looked away tearfully. The scene was too much to hold.

"This is the truth, Jungkook. He saved taehyung. " Hyun-bin came forward.

Jungkook's face turned pale, his hands trembling as the full weight of the truth crashes down on him. His breath comes in shallow gasps, and tears again welled up in his eyes, though he fights to hold them back. The overwhelming mix of grief, betrayal, and helplessness consumes him.
