You promised forever, but forever was too short.
Chapter 41
Taehyung woke up.
But everything was suddenly bright, he couldn't properly see. He was still confused about what was happening until he saw a stretcher coming in front of him.
There, he saw Jungkook, bleeding from the head and was unconscious. He realized what happened and his heart sank.
What was he doing in the hallway of the hospital in the first place?
He couldn't remember how he ended up in this place.
“Jungkook, Jungkook!” he rushed to the stretcher, having a proper state of Jungkook.
Tears fell from his eyes when he saw how much Jungkook was bleeding.
“No, no, no, please, please be alive,” he cried, his trembling hands touching Jungkook's face. “don't... don't die on me, don't die because of me... Jungkook. I... I don't like this, please,” Taehyung could barely comprehend a proper sentence.
Jungkook's breathing was slow and almost as if he was not breathing. Taehyung couldn't help but get anxious because of Jungkook's situation.
“S... sorry,” Taehyung looked at Jungkook's slightly opened eyes and tears kept forming in his eyes. “I... I kept... failing you... right? I... I'm sorry... I... I'm late... I... I failed... to protect you... It... It must have... hurt you... I did... my best to save you... but... but I still failed... doing that... I'm sorry... Taehyung,”
“I'm fine now, Jungkook; see, look at me,” Taehyung tried to show that he was fine, but his body was trembling because of sadness.
“But... you're crying,” Taehyung froze but he couldn't deny it. “I... I don't want... to see you cry because of me... I don't want... to be the reason... you're sad... I've been making you cry... I'm tired of it... So... once I'm gone... please live the best of your life... you've been suffering because of me... It's time to put an end to your misery... Be happy from now on... Kim Taehyung, you deserved it.” Jungkook smiled slightly and Taehyung cried.
“No, no, I don't accept this, Jungkook! I don't want you to apologize like this!” Taehyung knew he was being petty. “If you're going to apologize, do it properly! I don't like this, Jungkook, I don't like this way. I'm telling you, please, at least do something right for me for once.” he sobbed.
He hated Jungkook, and he admitted it. But Jungkook dying for him, it's something he didn't want to expect.
Was he being too kind?
Taehyung couldn't really tell, but his relationship with Jungkook is not always worse. At the start of their relationship, it was a fun and common romantic relationship. He has a lot of reasons to hate Jungkook, but dying is too much, right?
It's way too much for him. Jungkook dying because of him is something he couldn't stomach.
Maybe he shouldn't really have a soft heart, so maybe he couldn't forgive him.
“I'm sorry, my love,” Jungkook smiled genuinely.
He was forced to lift up his hand and he pressed Taehyung's forehead with his index and middle fingers before Jungkook closed his eyes and stopped breathing.
“Jungkook!”
Taehyung shouted but the stretcher started to move away from him. He tried to approach him but for some reason, he couldn't really move his feet. He was frozen in his place but he was doing his best to reach Jungkook. He failed to do that, he doesn't want to fail this time.
But why? Why he couldn't reach him this time?
He even punched his legs, blaming them for not working but it didn't work. His tears blurred his eyesight, and he saw Jungkook disappear from his sight.
