Y/N's heart raced as they struggled to rise, but the impact of their fall left them disoriented. The world around them spun, shadows of the scavengers looming larger as they advanced. Fear gripped them, but more than that, a deep sense of loss for Yoongi filled their heart, threatening to pull them under.
"Fight back!" Jungkook shouted again, but Y/N could only see the panic in his eyes, reflecting their own.
The scavenger leader approached, a cruel smile etched across his face as he leaned down, his shadow engulfing Y/N. "Looks like your little heroics have failed. You thought you could save him, but now..."
Before he could finish, Y/N felt a sudden rush of defiance. They pushed against the ground, forcing themselves to rise. "I'm not done fighting!" they shouted, but as they turned to face the leader, they were met with a swift kick that sent them crashing back down.
Pain exploded through Y/N's body, leaving them gasping for breath. They struggled to move, but their limbs felt heavy and unresponsive. The world around them dimmed as they fought to stay conscious, the sounds of the forest fading into a muffled echo.
Jungkook was still shouting, his voice a frantic mix of anger and fear. "Let them go! You won't get away with this!"
"Shut him up," the leader commanded, and one of the scavengers turned to Jungkook, their intentions clear.
"No! Get away from him!" Y/N screamed, a desperate surge of adrenaline pushing them to rise once more. But their body betrayed them, and they felt a sharp pain in their side as another scavenger delivered a harsh blow.
"Stop! You'll kill them!" Jungkook yelled, but Y/N felt the strength drain from them.
With a final surge of will, Y/N lunged forward, grappling with the leader, their hands finding his throat. "You won't take anyone else from me!" they gasped, rage fueling their actions.
The leader laughed, shaking off Y/N's grip with ease. "You think this is bravery? This is foolishness!"
In one swift motion, the leader struck Y/N hard across the face, and they fell to the ground, stars dancing before their eyes. The pain radiated through them, but they couldn't give up. They had to protect Jungkook. They had to fight for Yoongi.
As they lay on the ground, gasping for air, they looked up to see the scavenger raising their weapon high, a twisted smile on their face.
"Y/N, no!" Jungkook shouted, fighting against his captor in a desperate attempt to reach them.
In that moment, Y/N's world narrowed down to the two of them—their memories of laughter, friendship, and the warmth of Yoongi's smile flooded back. "I'm sorry..." they whispered, tears streaming down their face. "I tried."
With a swift, brutal motion, the scavenger brought the weapon down. The world around Y/N shattered into darkness, a final cry of Jungkook ringing in their ears as everything faded to black.
In that moment, Y/N felt a profound stillness wash over them, a sense of relief mingled with sorrow. They hoped that somehow, Jungkook would carry on the fight. They hoped he would survive. And as the darkness enveloped them, a flicker of light, a memory of everyone they've met—Namjoon, Seokjin, Yoongi, Hoseok, Jimin, Taehyung, and Jungkook—became their final farewell.
