"Hyung do you you really have to take Tae with you? He was just now helping me get past this level!" The younger of the three whined as he turned to look at his older brother who had Taehyung's Jacket held in his hand. Taehyung's eyes held a look that Jungkook couldn't quite read as the second oldest stood up taking the jacket out of Jinyoung's hand.

"I'm sorry Jungkookie maybe next time I can help you Again."

But none of them knew there wouldn't be a next time.

"Come on Taehyung lets get in the car before the snow gets any worse."

"Okay."

Jungkook followed the two of them out of the pc room that was lit up by white Christmas lights that Taehyung helped him set up earlier in the day. It was only 4pm with the sun still up in the sky but that didn't stop the snow falling down heavily. Jungkook's brother gave him a pat on the shoulder before grabbing the keys on the counter, Taehyung leaned down to hug Jungkook holding him tightly his bronzed hands locking together as they rested on his back while Jungkook's milky white hands locked around his neck.

"I love you Jungkook, be careful.Eat well,clean up any trash you make, tell your parents I said hello for me okay?" Taehyung's voice whispered into Jungkook's ear, even though Taehyung was older he was an inch shorter than the younger one. Jungkook felt his heart pound against his chest at the bronzed ones words even though he knew Taehyung only meant it in a brotherly way.

"Okay...Love you Tae see you at Christmas, I got you a great gift."

"I can't wait to see it kookie."

But Taehyung would never get the present that Jungkook had for him. Once he sat in that silver BMW and Jinyoung drove off onto the icy road into the snowy drive back to Seoul he would never see Jungkook again. His seat belt being long forgotten as the argument bound to happened began.


"I don't understand this Jinyoung! Why do we continue to do this if you're just going to marry her? Why do you keep doing all of this stuff to me? You promised me that everything you've done is so that I could show that I'm worthy enough for you. Am I'm not worth it?" Taehyungs voice shouted as they rounded the corner of the mountain that was near the wooden cabin that the Jeon's stayed in for Christmas. The snow came down in flurries almost blocking the windshield.

"Taehyung I've told you this! I can't just get rid of her! I can't. You knew what you got yourself into when I told you."

"What you told me was that this would be over soon."

" I never promised you that."

"You bastard-" Taehyung was cut off by the car spinning. His screams filling the car up to the brim, the silver car toppled off the cliff sliding down through trees with the breaks not helping to stop them. The windshield cracked leaving behind lightning shaped marks across it.

The car finally reached the bottom after flipping a couple times, Taehyungs small body went out the windshield from the speed and impact leaving him on the snow covered ground . It was only after he was laid down in the cold snow that the air bags went off. Taehyung heard Jinyoung let out a groan while he stared up at the clear sky watching the snow fall down onto his numb body, Taehyung tried to move but his body wouldn't.

"Hello his is triple A is every thing okay, we have your location. Is anyone injured?"

"Y-Yes there is multiple pieces of g-glass stuck in my body. I can't feel my legs...p-please hurry."

"We are trying our best to hurry sir, please keep talking."

Taehyung wanted to shout out that he was there. He was laying down in the cold snow. He was bleeding and his eyes were getting hazy, the sound of the car beeping becoming annoying. The ladies voice droning in and out.

I'm here... I'm here too.. the words floated around his head but never left his bloody mouth. Shards of glass were everywhere making it to where he couldn't move even if he wanted to.

15 minutes had passed.

The ambulance was there along with firefighters.

"Jaemin! there's another person! " The firefighter shouted rushing to where Taehyung's body laid next to a puddle of blood that was leaking from the back of his head, he was struggling to keep his eyes open as the firefighter spoke to him. The man's voice was muffled to him, he felt something be put around his neck before he was lifted onto a gurney into the ambulance waiting for him.

"The other guy never reported another person." One of the paramedics in the ambulance said trying to place an IV into Taehyungs bronzed wrist, Jaemin looked over to the other man on the gurney next to the tanned boy. There must be a reason but instead of trying to figure out why the man didn't say anything he tried to keep the older man alive who was taking shallow breaths.

4:49 pm the Jeon family left the house rushing to the hospital .the snow had stopped.

4:56 pm Jeon Jinyoung died from blood loss.

4:56 pm Kim Taehyung slipped into a coma.

The Jeon family quickly made their way to the hospital, both parents worrying about Jinyoung and Taehyung who had been like a son to them. Unlike his parents Jungkook didn't care about his brother his main concern was the teen who had just gave him a hug and said 'i love you' to him earlier.

Once they reached the hospital it was already to late. The clock had read 6:03 pm and their son and Jungkook's brother was now dead. Doctors tried to console the parents while Jungkook numbly stared at the floor where his feet were firmly planted as he begged and pleading for it to swallow him whole.

"Doctor. what about the boy with him? Kim taehyung?" Jungkook asked finally speaking causing his parents to turn around and look at him.

"He's in a severe coma . He should wake up in a couple days hopefully...Strangely when our medics showed up they didn't know he was there at first. Your son didn't report him being with him. Meaning if we didn't see the boy he would be dead. Luckily we saw him."

Jungkook's parents nodded thanking the doctor for informing them, Mr.Jeon placed his hand on the younger's shoulder telling him it would be okay. They heard the hospital doors, turning around they were faced with Jinyoung's future wife who stood tall in heels and a sweater dress that was black almost as if she was ready for a funeral.

"Where's my husband?"

"Dead."

And with that he shook his body out of his fathers grasp running away towards the back of the hospital leaving his parents in shock and a fake crying ex-wife.

When Taehyung woke up he had forgot everything besides the moments of the car flipping. The full accident completely erased from his memory. The Jeon's only being a hazy memory with no-names and no-faces. He forgot about the Jeon's with his best friend min yoongi being the one to help him remember high school and elementary days.

Jungkook and Jinyoung being a long forgotten memory.

Along what happened on that pure white winter afternoon.
