Forever We'll Be Young

Run

*Taehyung's POV*

Oh my God. Oh my God! What have I done?! I had no other choice...No. No. No. There's just no way. Please God just let this all be some sort of mistake. Please. Please! PLEASE! I took off running, tears staining my eyes blurring my vision. Without him here, I don't know what to do. My mind just went blank. Hyung why couldn't you be here?! Why couldn't you stop it?! Damn it! My mind was all over the place. I didn't know where I was running to or to whom I was running to. All I knew is that I had to keep running. Keep running Tae. Just keep running. Go as far as you can. Don't you dare look back. I'll be okay as long as you keep running. Where am I going? Don't you think about that right now, just keep running. Nothing else matters if you can just keep running. Nothing can hurt you if you keep running. I could feel my body growing weaker and more feeble, signaling me it was about to give out. No I can keep going. I can't stop now. I started having a coughing attack as my chest compacted with each breath I was taking, which wasn't much now. Just keep running Tae, it won't hurt anymore if you keep going. The surroundings around me have long disappeared and I could see was darkness but I kept running. I have to keep running, even if it means it's for forever. I must keep running before it can catch me. Before everything can catch me. My mind went completely blank again and next thing I knew, the darkness had swallowed me whole.

*Author's POV*

Doctor: "I am very sorry about your friend." Namjoon collapsed on the floor hearing the news. He shook his head and his hands started shaking. "Please. Just please, this isn't true." The Doctor looked down at the floor unable to face the broken man. Yoongi knelt down next to Namjoon who begun crying. "Joonie we must be strong." "How?! This! This shouldn't have happened! "Hyung! Why?! What have I done wrong as a leader for this to happen?!" Namjoon clutched Yoongi's shirt and sobbed into it. The older boy put his arms around the younger and started sobbing with him. It was unbelievable this could happen to him too. Now he wasn't sure how to comfort his crying friend, nor did he know how he was going to comfort himself, let alone the boys who remained. Yoongi felt like an awful person for letting this happen. While it may not have been his fault, he still felt unwavering sadness and guilt. He didn't know how to take the pain away.

Hoseok hung up his phone and just looked down. "Hyung what's wrong?" He hadn't even received the official news from the older boys, but in his heart of hearts, he knew it had to be true. "Please," was all he could think. Anyone. Anyone but him of all people. "Hyung you're scaring us." He looked at the younger boys. He wanted to just crawl into the deepest of darkest holes. He's the smiling angel. He's the hope, but right now he's just broken. A piece of him is missing. He thought he could turn around and smile. Just enough to give them even just a glimmer of hope during this rough time, but he couldn't. "What is it? Please tell us." "I...can't. I can't say this." "Tell us! Please tell us. We need to know." "Okay....," Hoseok sighed and looked at the younger boys with solemn eyes. "We're no longer a group of seven." As Hoseok said this, he could feel the twinge of pain in his chest. He couldn't do this. Hearts were already broken, why should there be a need to break anymore. "What? What do you mean? What happened?! Please tell us!" He could see the tears running down their eyes. No. No. He shouldn't say anymore. But he must. They must know. He could feel tears running down his own eyes and he turned to look at them. "I'm so sorry. I am so so so very sorry." "*in between sobs* Please...tell...us." Hoseok looked down and sniffled before looking back up. He ran to the trembling boys and put his arms around them. He did his best to choke back sobs before telling them the horrible tragedy. "*in a silent whisper* He's....gone."
