THREAD OF DESTINY 📖

chapter 34: Friends forever

*.... It's it breathtakingly beautiful how you've learned to grow flowers from the memories that died along time ago....*

"Get out of bed the day have been asking about you , it has dragged the sun into your room this morning , pulled an entire disco of light into your room through your curtains , hopping that all the gleam would be enough to get your attention , this is how today says notice me "

As soon as Jungkook finished the poem in the book he closed it and throws it back to the coach as he shout ," get your ass up or else I'll leave you , I swear and yeah I gotta say your husband has the best poems" Jimin who didn't know what was happening jump out of the bed," what's In the hell is happening,,,, and Jungkook what in the god's name are you doing in my room this early morning, " Jimin stopped himself from rubbing his eyes as he focus on Jungkook who was sitting on his window coach and the flashbacks came back again.

" Wait wait......wait , yah the fact that
You're a witch doesn't allow you to just use those witchy stuff here "Jungkook looked at him in surprised, ' okay what the hell are you talking about Jimin, which witchy stuff " Jungkook asked," the...the one you're using now cause hell no you're not in my room " Jimin replied," okay am going, I have had enough of your circuses for now ".

Jungkook quickly got to his feet as he goes to the door, holding the door tight but Jimin called him back so he turned to looked at him " what" he asked Jimin smiled and asked " do you think we are best friends in every universe" Jungkook looked at him and smiled" I'll tell you soon...just hurry the fuck up I'll be down waiting for you, I don't want to miss my final exam because of you and yeah am not using astro projection but I can do this" Jungkook raise his finger as he whispered a spell under his breath which led to Jimin duvet being thrown out off him to the floor and like that with a smirk he opened the door as he goes out shutting the door from behind leaving Jimin cursing inwardly.

Jungkook leaned against the wall by the front door, glancing at his watch for what felt like the hundredth time. He could hear the faint sounds of Jimin bustling around in his room, the rustle of clothes and the soft hum of music filtering through the door. A small smile crept onto Jungkook's face as he remembered their plans for the day-final exams and graduation were finally here, and they were about to embark on a new chapter together.

"Come on, Jimin! We can't be late!" he called out playfully, tapping his foot impatiently. He could picture Jimin, probably still deciding on the perfect outfit for such an important day, and it made him chuckle. Jungkook took a deep breath, trying to shake off the nerves that came with the exams, but knowing Jimin would be by his side made it all feel a little more manageable.

..................................... Few hours later

Jungkook sat at his desk, the exam paper spread out before him like a vast landscape of questions waiting to be conquered. The room was filled with the sound of pencils scratching against paper, the air thick with concentration and a hint of anxiety. He glanced over at Jimin, who was a few seats away, his brow furrowed in deep thought as he tackled a particularly tricky question.

Across the room, Jungkook could see Namjoon, J-Hope, and Jin, all deep in their own worlds as they worked through the exam. Namjoon had his signature focused expression, occasionally glancing up to scan the room, while J-Hope was biting his lip in concentration, his pencil moving quickly across the page. Jin, on the other hand, seemed to be methodically analyzing each question, his brows slightly furrowed as he weighed his options.

Jungkook felt a wave of camaraderie wash over him. They had all spent countless hours studying together, sharing notes and cramming for this moment. The pressure of the exams was palpable, but knowing that his friends were right there with him made it a little less daunting. He could almost hear their voices in his head, offering encouragement and reminding him to stay calm.

Taking a deep breath, Jungkook focused on the task at hand, reminding himself of all the late-night study sessions and the laughter they shared to ease the stress. Today marked the end of one journey and the beginning of another, and he was determined to make it count. With a determined nod to himself, he pushed aside any lingering doubts and dived back into the exam, ready to give it his all alongside his friends.

...........
After the exam, the atmosphere was electric with excitement as Jungkook, Jimin, Namjoon, J-Hope, and Jin gathered at their favorite cafe to celebrate the end of their final year in college. The sun streamed through the windows, casting a warm glow over the table piled high with snacks and drinks. Laughter filled the air as they reminisced about their journey together, sharing stories of late-night study sessions and the moments that had brought them closer as friends.

"Can you believe we made it?" J-Hope exclaimed, raising his glass in a toast. "To us, and to all the late nights that led us here!" The others joined in, their glasses clinking together in agreement, smiles plastered on their faces.

" Congratulations guys, you finally finished college" this voice came from behind Jimin who is the only sitting facing the others as he turned he was met with those eyes again and he smiled, the other one looked at him as he says " congratulations little prince" with a smile, to say Jimin was embarrassed as shit would be understatement, he quickly covered his face while the others were wooooooing at him.

As the celebration continued, Jungkook felt a wave of gratitude wash over him. He looked around at his friends, feeling a sense of pride in what they had accomplished together. But as the laughter echoed around him, he suddenly excused himself, needing a moment to collect his thoughts. "I'll be right back, just need to hit the bathroom," he said, slipping away from the table. Taemin saw this and excused himself too , Jungkook not knowing he's being followed from behind.

Once inside, he took a moment to splash water on his face, trying to shake off the lingering tension from the exams. Just then, a familiar shimmering light filled the small space, and Nishy appeared before him through astral projection, her ethereal form glowing softly.

"Jungkook!" she smiled, her presence instantly lifting his spirits. "I'm so glad to see you."

He returned her smile, the happiness of their reunion momentarily overshadowing the weight of their recent discussions. "Nishy! It's great to see you too again . I was just celebrating with the guys."

But as they talked, Nishy's expression shifted slightly, and she asked, "Have you told Jimin about what will happen to him?"

Jungkook's heart sank at the question. He opened his mouth to respond but found himself unable to speak, the truth hanging heavily in the air between them. Nishy's eyes widened as she realized he hadn't shared the burden hjs best friend will face.

"No...no...no.... don't tell me what am thinking you're about to say, You're the one planning to take the consequences of the arrow, aren't you?" she said, her voice a mixture of concern and shock.

He nodded slowly, feeling the weight of her gaze. "I can't let him die Nishy, I can't, they just finally found each other I won't let Jimin die when am still a life I failed to protect him back then and I won't fail again ."

Nishy shook her head, her expression turning serious. "Jungkook, you can't do this to yourself. Jimin deserves to know what's at stake, especially if it involves him ,do you think he will let you do that if it's means losing you?."

The reality of the situation settled in, leaving Jungkook feeling exposed and vulnerable. He had always wanted to protect Jimin from the darker aspects of their journey, but now he could see the folly in his decision. The shock of the revelation hung in the air, and he realized that the celebration outside continued, blissfully unaware of the storm that's about to come.

Taemin couldn't hold is shock and tears anymore and that's when he came face to face with both Jungkook and Nishy and the atmosphere changed to chill.
