' I never died Jungkook'

Longing...Secrets...Pain... A triad which never failed to describe Jungkook's life. As the sorcerer prince of Astraxus, Jeon Jungkook's life was filled with secrets..secrets about his mother's death..secrets about his powers... secrets about his moondancer...secrets unknown to which Jungkook longed to be near his dead mother... unknown to which he survived each day... unknown to which he married the only person he ever loved even before he deciphered what love and affection actually was... secrets and longing which always lead him to a single destination... Pain....

In his present life...as just Jungkook..he did long for someone's presence in his life.. someone unknown yet so familiar..he longed for a touch so warm yet distant...he longed for a warmth that will put an end to his wait... And then...then he slowly started realizing secrets of his life...of himself which he knew no one would ever believe...but when he finally met his Taehyung...when he finally got the love of his life back..he thought that all the wait..all the longing..was finally put to an end...he thought that all the secrets and mysteries were finally solved...but little did he know that all things good or bad are evitable but Pain.. pain stands constant..as a strong reminder that no happiness would ever be achieved without drowning in the pits of misery

And that harsh reality came slapping him right across his face when he heard Taehyung

' I was alive..all along' Taehyung mumbled 'All these years... I wan-wandered around..in search of you... hoping that y-you'd be born again... somewhere.. anywhere-'

'Taehyung' Jungkook breathed out...his heart cracking

' I just wanted to find yo-meet you... atleast once' Taehyung chocked on a suppressed sob

'Two Centuries' Jungkook murmured

'Wanted to feel you one m-more time... I wasn't ready to let you go' Taehyung went on

' It's been two centuries Tae'

' I didn't even get a chance to say goodbye-'

' Kim Taehyung!' Jungkook yelled

' Jeon!' Taehyung yelled back ' Am still Jeon Taehyung! The Jeon Taehyung who got married to you! The Jeon Taehyung who was left alone when you died...I am still your husband Koo... it's just you who got a new life...I have been strugglin-'

Jungkook was on his knees pulling the elder into his arms...his own sobs echoing in the room

' I tried' Taehyung cried ' I tired to kill myself '

' Tae' Jungkook hugged him tighter... his eyes shut close

' I tried everything known to mankind to end this misery...to end this pathetic self of mine but I failed' Taehyung whimpered ' Every single time I failed'

' D-don't say any-ng like that' Jungkook sobbed hard
' Tae...oh god...I didn't kno-am so sorry...I-'

'Don't cry Koo' Taehyung pulled back cupping Jungkook's cheeks ' Please don't cry'

' H-how' Jungkook stuttered 'How is it even possible... I-Tae I saw you lying there....all wounded...you weren't even breathing'

' It's all twisted Koo'

Past

A loud gasp was heard followed by Taehyung opening his eyes only to close it at the bright light... He groaned..his whole body feeling sore..the floor beneath him cold.. his clothes all damp..his hands sticky

' Where even am I?' Taehyung thought sitting up...turning to his side..and slowly opening his eyes only for a loud scream to leave his throat as he scurried back..his back hitting the pillar behind him and hands pressed over his mouth for there laid Jungkook..bathed in a pool of his own blood..his emerald orbs staring back at him.. without even blinking once... a bloodied sword by his side
